Vito Brain Review
At the turn of the century the key to success was being in the agricultural industry. If you had the biggest farm or the most cows you were doing pretty well. Then people started moving from farming into the era of the industrial revolution. Now you needed to find a good job and if you had a college degree you could make it really big; and saved your money. Most didn't save so they are still working or struggling financially today. Next came the technology age followed by the information age. We are still in the information age, and this has actually created a major problem for us.
There is information coming at us from every direction. We get emails, internet news letters, internet popups, TV news, TV adds, radio, cell phones and don't forget there are still news papers and magazines and people calling us on the phone during dinner with great deals. Then there is your boss who needs your time and attentions, your significant other wants your time, and if you have children under 18 multiply everything by 2 per child. No wonder so many people suffer from some form of attention deficiency, with all the information coming at us how could anyone stop long enough to pay attention without losing something else.
Vito Brain Intro
Your brain's ability to absorb all this information or then process it, recall it, and then use it when needed will be your ticket for success in the coming century. The problem most people have, with absorbing, processing, recalling and using this constant bombardment of information, stems from their own brain power. Brain power can be viewed simply as your brains ability to do 5 things:
q Take in information
q Process and store information
q Recall information
q Use information properly
q Focus Attention on what's important
During our normal daily lives the stress that we create and encounter drains our brains ability to perform these five functions to the best of our ability. Actually we are performing to the best of our ability; our ability is just not as good as it could be. In short our brain power is simply a function of these five cognitive activities.
We all have a brain power threshold, that point when there is just no more mental energy left, and once it is reached we peak out in brain power. This is similar to when a weight-lifter peaks out on the weight they are trying to lift. Once the energy to lift is gone - it is gone! This happens in your brain also. You can burn-up the energy required to function at a peak level and just not have any more juice left. The result of you reaching your brain power threshold, while the normal stress and demands of the day continue will produce some of the following symptoms and others:
q You will tend to feel physically and mentally tired before the end of the day.
q Your ability to focus and concentrate becomes weaker.
q You start to make bad decisions.
q You will have a difficult time recalling information.
q You begin to feel sluggish and slow in your thinking.
q You feel stressed and fatigued.
q You have a hard time or just can't sleep.
q You suffer from anxiety.
q And you can have bouts of depression.
Well, here's the good news, all these issues and problems are easily understood from a neuroscience stand point. You have simply drained your brain of its ability to operate at a peak level. You have used up the fuel your brain needs to operate. By fuel I mean the various types of neurotransmitters, hormones and other chemicals your brain and body uses. Chemicals like noradrenalin.
In fact it has been discovered by a team of Cambridge scientists that noradrenalin controls our ability to stop ourselves from doing inappropriate things like blurting out impulsive comments, jumping red lights, or rushing in front of cars. Noradrenalin is only one of many chemicals your brain needs to function properly let alone operate at a peak level.

There are four fundamental areas that can easily and drastically improve your brains performance. We call these areas optimum performance factors. They are:
q Brain nutrition
q Mental exercise
q Cognitive programming
q Conscious neuro directed action.
From these four optimum performance factors we have found eight simple things you can do to improve your brains performance.
Eight Simple things that will improve your brains performance based on brain science.
1.Drink Water. Our brain tissue is made of approximately 85 percent water. Water is use to move nutrients to all parts of your body, and water is important to preventing infections, constipation and many other physical problems. When you are dehydrated the level of energy generated by your brain is decreased. This can cause depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, sluggish cognitive functions and it is believe dehydration contributes to stress and migraines.
A little know fact about water is that if you do not drink enough water, your body will naturally start to retain water to compensate for the shortage of water in you body. If you want to eliminate water retention then you should drink more water not less. You can actually create problems for every aspect of your body and mental ability if you don't drink enough water.
Our body loses over 10 cups of water a day. We lose 2 cups a day just from breathing. You should drink at least ten 8 ounce glasses of water a day if you are an inactive person. If you live an active life you need about 13-14 eight ounce glasses a day. It is important to spread your water intake out throughout your day. It is a bad idea to drink more than 4 glasses of water in a 1 hour time frame.
So start your brain power improvement process by simply drinking more water.

2. Get ample sleep and take mental breaks. Besides the common sense reasons for sleeping, there are some neuroscience based reason you should understand. During sleep your brain goes though phase or levels of brain activity. In the deepest level of sleep the brain activity know as delta causes the release of human growth hormone (HGH). HGH is a protein produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates the liver to produce somatomedins, which stimulate growth of bone and muscle. HGH is the most abundant hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain and it also triggers the entire body on a regular basis to replace cells that have died.
Research has also shown a number of other important things happen when you sleep. They include among other things, physical co-ordination improves, memory, concentration, improved creativity improves. Your feeling of emotional well-being improves as well.
So sleep and rest but don't over steep, oversleeping can upset your bodies clock and make it harder to sleep. To help fall a sleep try the following:
So sleep and rest but don't over steep, oversleeping can upset your bodies clock and make it harder to sleep. To help fall a sleep try the following:
q Take A Warm Bath:
q Exercise
q Avoid Alcohol, Caffeine & Tyrosine-Rich Foods At Night
q Avoid Sleeping Pills
q End your day in a relaxed environment
q Do not watch television in bed
q Use meditation or brain entrainment technology
3. Brain Nutrition. Your brain is like a car. A car needs gasoline, oil, brake fluid and other materials to run properly. Your brain also needs special materials to run properly: glucose, vitamins, minerals and other essential chemicals. Your brain must manufacture the right proteins and fats to do things such as grow new connections or add myelin, the fatty sheath on axons. Without the correct amount and balance of particular building blocks, your brain will not work properly. Too little (deficiency) or too much (overabundance) of the necessary nutrient can negatively affect your brain and entire nervous system.
Precautions
Stress, worry, emotional distress, drugs, alcohol, poor eating habits and pollution all deplete your brain of these vital hormones and neurotransmitters. Additionally, today's normal diet simply does not provide sufficient nutrients to produce adequate neurotransmitter levels. All combined, these factors can contribute too many negative cognitive conditions.
4. Cognitive Exercise. Your brain can be viewed like a muscle also, and research has shown clearly that if you use your brain to learn new things on a regular basis it will stay strong. However, lack of use will cause it to get weak and lose its power. Four things you can do to exercise your brain on a regular basis are:
q Read a new book every month.
q Work on learning a new language.
q Try doing things with the opposite hand.
q Learn new dances, this works both sides of your brain.
q Visit Posit Science at http://www.nacopen.com for brain exercise programs.
5. Mental Programming. Your non-conscious mind controls how we react to the world. Your desires, fears, habits, personality traits all come from associations contained in your non-conscious mind. What if there was a way to change the nature of the non-conscious. Instead of working against you in a constant battle with your willpower, what if your non-conscious could instead make you more like you would like to be - how you see yourself without all those bad habits, emotional reactions and fears that block your progress. What if you could suddenly feel happier, or only crave healthy foods? What if being confident, energetic and focused was as effortless as everything else you currently enjoy doing?
The input you have received from the environment you have lived in over the years of your life make up your mental program. The problem is most of us have a program that works against us. We have beliefs and attitudes that are just not true or don't work and in most cases we don't even know it. The best and simplest way to find out if your beliefs and attitudes are working to your advantage is to ask yourself two questions. Are you living up to your potential and are you where you think you should be in life right now? If you answered no, there is a very good chance, something like 99.9 percent, you are operating with less than an optimum mental program for success.
Imagine what it would be like if you could give your brain a mental tune-up, maybe an entire cognitive overhaul and get ride of all the self defeating beliefs, attitudes and behaviors. Well the science now exists to re-program your old dysfunctional brain automatically using what is known as brain wave entrainment.
6. Physical exercise: This can be the subject of an entire article of its own. And most people are aware of the benefits of physical exercise. However few are familiar with the connections between physical exercise and brain power. Exercise stimulates cells to multiply and strengthens there connections. Exercise also has the affect of protecting your brain cells from harm.
Probably one of the best reasons to exercise, not related to your physical well being, is the one relating to your mental well being. Memory tests given to 1,740 people over 65 during a 6-year project have linked moderate exercise to reduced risk of dementia. That alone should cause you to want to exercise. These results were published in the Jan. 17 Annals of Internal Medicine by a Seattle research team.
7. Kill the ANT's. Automatic Negative Thoughts. These are success killing thoughts that come into your mind without you even giving them a second thought. Examples of ANT's are:
q I'm a jerk
q I'm an idiot
q I can't believe how stupid I am
q That makes me so angry
q Why is this happening to me
q My parents made me like this
q I can't change
q I am not good at anything
q I'm just a failure
q I'm useless
q I could never do that
q Nobody likes me
q I can't get any better
q I'm not smart enough
q My problems will never go away
And there are probably over 1001 other things people say or think that fall under the category of ANT's.
Every thought you have, everything you imagine and everything you believe all have electrical, chemical and biological properties in your brain that have an effect on every cell in your body. Research has shown that negative thoughts create stress and stress over a long period of time will have serious harmful effects on your brains ability to function properly.

To began killing your ANT's follow the steps below:
1. Decide you want to kill your negative thoughts. Until you actually decide to kill your ANT's you will always suffer from them.
2. Once you have decided and committed to killing your ANT's, start listening to yourself carefully to identify your ANT's. The moment you hear one of those ANT's coming say to yourself:
a. STOP.
b. I'm in charge of my thoughts.
c. And then immediately think of the thought in a positive light.
3. Replace the negative thought with the positive thought.
I use a mythical warrior called NETAK. NETAK stands for Negative emotions, thoughts and attitude killer. NETAK is an 8 foot tall 400 pound Knight wearing a platinum and gold suit of armor carrying tungsten steal sword.
When I suspect an ANT attack I simply think or say "Get Them NETAK". And NETAK has never lost a battle. In fact when NETAK is done with the ANT's they are totally smashed and gone. Try it.
8. Conscious Neuro Directed Action. And finally, even with a hydrated, rested, strong, healthy, ANT free and properly programmed brain you still need a system that helps directs your actions in the right direction towards your ultimate success. Conscious neuro directed actions (CNDA) are the science of programming your behavior at the neuroscience level to create the behavior needed to achieve your goals. When programmed properly you will put your goals on autopilot and move towards them without even thinking about it. This is similar to the same un-conscious neuro directed programming that happens when smokers get addicted to smoking, or overeaters get addicted to overeating. It happens without you thinking about it, and the next thing you know you have become un-consciously automatically addicted to the negative habit. And we all know how hard it is to break those habits.
You can use this same non-conscious programming brain science to program positive behaviors that become hard to break also. The process consists of 5 steps known as the NeuroFactor5.
Factor 1. Have a dream a vision or an intention to do something (DVI). This creates positive neuro-networks that initiate a chain reaction in you brain. But this is just the beginning.
Factor 2 COPENIZE your DVI. Once you have identified a DVI the next thing you need to do is to COPENIZE it. When you COPENIZE your DVI you apply neuroscience research to cause it to become a strong and powerful neuro-network that will overcome the obstacle that will later appear to get in the way. COPENIZING is done with visualization, affirmations and other COPENOLOGY techniques. The goal behind this technique is to create a level of passion and desire for the accomplishment of you DVI that nothing stops you.
Factor 3. Set and COPENIZE a goal. When you have developed a sufficient amount of passion and desire for your DVI you will then set a goal and COPENIZE it. The purpose behind this step is to strengthen the neuro-network you already created. You will learn how to determine if your neuro-networks are strong enough when you get to the final step. If your neuro networks are strong enough you will have created an actual new set of neuro structures in your brain that can be observed and measured. This is how habits are created and you know have your goals programmed as a habit.
Factor 4. Develop and COPENIZE a Plan. If you have done everything correct by the time you get to actually developing a plan you should have a pretty solid neuro-network being developed. During this stage you will simple create a plan that actually tells you what you should be doing monthly, weekly and daily. To COPENIZE your plan you will start by writing it down and committed it to memory. You should visualize yourself doing what you have scheduled on a daily basis. Schedule the days you are not going to do anything to contribute to the accomplishment of your goals also.
Factor 5. COPENIZE your daily action. When you COPENIZE what you should be doing on a daily basis your behavior will become automatic. This is very important. Doing this creates a habit of what you need to do on a daily basis and you will not even have to think about doing it, you will just do it just like you do the other things in your life that are habits.
If you have done everything correctly, your DVI is now a neuro-network in your brain, your goal now has it's own neuro-network connected to your DVI neuro-network. And you have created a neuro-network of your daily plan all connected to each other in your brain. Whatever it is you wanted to accomplish is now part of your brain structure and could be observed and measured. Note: be careful of what you wish for. To COPENIZE your daily action you should visualize your daily action, use affirmations and other advanced COPENOLOGY© techniques.
Conclusion
The simplicity of these eight brain power boosters should not be taken for granted. Each of them are backed by brain science research and practical experience. They work and will work for you. If you want to keep your brain strong and powerful and operate at the peak of your ability, you must have a peak performing brain and the surest way to immediately improve your brains performance begins with these eight steps.
