Your Reticular Activation System Part One

You create your own reality, but how? One way is by your
Reticular Activation System or RAS. This is the part of your
brain that automatically filters out information that isn't
important to you, and brings your attention to things that are.

A good example of this is when you get a new car.
Before you got the car you never noticed them around,
but once you got one you begin to see them everywhere.
Now this isn't a conscious process, you aren't driving around
looking for them, it is completely unconscious and automactic.

This is important because this same process happens in our
everyday lives. We are literally surrounded by "unseen"
opportunities and choices at all times, but often do not see
them because we mentally filter them out.

When something becomes important to us, our
RAS begins to notice it in our environment automatically.
When your desire to be lean and healthy is a priority,
you'll notice all the different foods around you
that are both enjoyable and make you lean.

coming up in part two...
How do you intentionally program your RAS?
