The human brain is incredible, generating an estimated 60,000 thoughts every single day. Research suggests that by the time you reach the age of 18, you will have been told no 150,000 times. Consequently, it’s not surprising that 80% of the recurring thoughts you have each day are negative. On the other side of the coin, however, your brain operating in a positive state is 31% more effective overall. Salesmen in a positive state will sell 37% more than when neutral or negative, and physicians operate 19% faster and more accurate. This is known as the “happiness advantage” and is exactly what my guest, Dr. Ben Belnap digs into in this episode of influence.
I don’t think there is an interview that we have had to date that has more potential to facilitate positive change. Everything we talk about in this episode will help you take control of your mind, amplify your confidence, and open the floodgates of opportunity.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why we are so prone to negative thoughts and how destructive our minds can be to our success.
- How your approach to success might actually be making you unhappy. Discovering Mindfulness.
- Dealing with insecurity and self-handicapping.
- The 3 levels of processing and reaching our core beliefs.
- Core-beliefs and self-fulfilling prophecy.
- How to find your purpose.
- Challenging your fears and and building confidence.
- The importance of gratitude.
” Success is ultimately a byproduct of our ability to be more mindful and grateful in the work we do.” -Ben Belnap
