Andy Harrington – Power to Achieve

YOUR 3 BRAINS ARE LIKE A COMPUTER
Our brain is like a computer, but any computer is only as good as the operating system running that computer.
Think of your brain as three brains in one. These three brains allow you to go from THINKING, to DOING, to BEING.
Your 3 brains are:
– The Neocortex (The Thinking Brain)
– The Limbic Brain ( (The Chemical or Experience Brain)
– The Cerebellum (The Being or Identity Brain)
And when YOUR 3 brains are incoherent, YOU ARE LITERALLY IN CONFLICT WITH YOURSELF as different parts of the brain no longer synchronise with each other, leading to a feeling of being ‘out of balance’ or ‘out of control’ or being ‘torn apart’.
When we feel this way there are only 3 things our brain wants to tell our bodies to do RUN, FIGHT or HIDE.
But the truth is it’s much more nuanced than that, as we all have different ways we run, fight or hide in the modern world.
These are called coping mechanisms.
WHAT ARE COPING MECHANISMS?
Think of coping mechanisms like training wheels (or stabilisers) on a bike. When you were a child, they did an exceptional job of keeping you upright and helping you to move forwards on your bike.
Now at some point you learned to be in balance on a bike and move forwards without the need for stabilisers.
However, whilst most adults have removed the physical stabilisers for their bike, they may have failed to do away with their mental and emotional stabilisers (coping mechanisms).
This ensures they are highly likely to repeat mistakes in their personal and professional lives AND jump from one problem to another through emotional reaction, play-it-safe inaction or moreover the wrong action.
The knock-on effect is often disappointing or at best inconsistent results…!
There is no doubt, YOU personally will have picked up your own individual “stabilisers” or “coping mechanisms” along the way during stressful and turbulent times of loss, rejection or failure.
And like the stabilisers on your bike they worked at the time and kept you upright and moving forwards.
BUT… AND THIS IS A BIG BUT
It is these very coping mechanisms (that helped you through difficult times) that are now most likely slowing down your forward progress in your personal and professional life today – especially during times of stress.
Your coping mechanisms might include: Putting things off until the last minute, seeking to control things (and people), getting angry, keeping busy, pleasing others to gain approval, avoiding conflict, not taking opportunities, not speaking your mind, distancing yourself from others, having to keep your options open, diving into your work and avoiding intimacy, beating yourself up, overeating the wrong kinds of foods, or just playing smaller to avoid rejection/failure to name just a few..!
SO, WHAT’S THE ANSWER?
Are we destined to repeat the experiences, the problems and results of our personal history or can we get behind the wheel and drive ourselves to a new destination – a new destiny?
I believe we can.
By using the power of the 3-brains and effectively updating ‘the operating system of the mind’ AND engaging in a daily ritual that takes just a few minutes, you too can upgrade your life personally and professionally.
You can become happier, healthier, wealthier, embark on a whole new career, start or scale a fantastic business and experience a deeply loving and fulfilling relationship.
