Today is about collaboration and I am going to talk to you about what I think is the most important collaboration you will ever get.
And this is the collboration between you and your mind.

When you can collaborate with your mind and tell it what you want,you’ll get what you want.

Now I’m very lucky that I’ve been voted Britian’s best therapist several times.
I’m in the Tatler Guider to the best of the best.
And people say to me,“you know,the brain,that’s really complicated and takes years to understand.”
Actually,that’s not true.

What I believe is you need to know four things about your mind.
If you put these four things into practice,you’ll have success across the board at every level,so let me tell you,what these four things are about your mind,

Your mind does exactly ,specifically/what it thinks you want it to do.
It always does what it thinks.it is your best interest.

If you haven’t got what you want,but you’ve got behaviors you don’t want,
you are not collaborating properly with your mind.
I will change taht for you.

Secondly,your mind is hardwired to move you towards pleasure and away from pain.
That’s why the interest for being tribespeople.
You survive on the planet by avoiding pain.

Thirdly,the way you feel about everything all the time/is only down to two things:
the pictures you make in your head/and the words you say to yourself.

And fourthly,your mind loves what is familiar.
It is programmed to keep going over and over again of what is familiar.

If you want to succeed at any level,you have to got to make what is familiar unfamiliar
and what is unfamiliar familiar.

So let’s start with one.
Your mind does what it really thinks you want it to do.
It’s always acting in your own interests,/and your mind listens all the time to your language.
It works out what you’re doing and feeling by the words you are using.

So if you say,These exams are killing me;“I’m dying under this paperwork;My boss is a nightmare;I’m overwhelmed;I can’t cope with the stress.”
When you say,“I’m dying under the pressure.This workload is killing me.”
You are telling your mind you don’t want to do it,and if your mind thinks you don’t want to do it,guess what,it will encourage you to procrastinate,bunk off,and not apply yourself.

Your mind is so very,very specific to the words you use that if you say,
“I’d love a week off in bed;I’m overwhelmed with this stress.I just wish I could have a week off at home lounging around.”
Your mind goes,“There you go,I’ve given you the flu./Didn’t you ask for it?You said you wanted a week off in bed,and I’ve given you the flu.There’s your week off.”
If you say,“I’m dreading having to give that presentation next Wednesday.I’ll do anything to get out of it.Your mind’s like,OK,Why don’t I wake you up with a migraine or an upset stomach?”
There’s your get-out-of-the-presentation behavior.
That sounds a little silly,but that is how your mind works.
It does what it thinks you want.
If you haven’t got what you want,it’s because you use words:this is too hard;it’s too difficult;it takes all my time.

When I wrote my first book,I was only in mu 20s.And when I got a book deal,I kind of knew that I involved isolating myself in writing,and I didn’t want to do it.And I spent a long ti
