There's Power In Your "Internal Representations"
What do I mean by internal representations? They are the internal equivalent to our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. This is how we think. And thought is power. We all have memories of these experiences, internal representations, that are replayed in our thoughts over and over. If I say, "pink elephant" you automatically form a representation of this phrase within your mind. Same with any other noun. If you notice a song stuck in your head, that's the internal representation
“Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.” – Bill GatesIn communist or even socialist governments there tends to be lackluster entrepreneurial efforts. The individual wishing to start the business often finds little in the way of ‘vested interest’ in committing their time and talent to something they will never really be able to benefit from.After the collapse of Russia a new way of thinking was needed to move the country forward. The choice was capitalism and the flint of entrepreneurialism was struck often in an effort to jump-start the economy.There is a push in Russia to advance the cause of the entrepreneur by providing classes that assist the population in learning how to develop their own business. Reports indicate that other European Universities will see as many as 70% of their higher education centers providing classes on
The fact is that we live in a media driven world. There's television, radio, music, movies, magazines, newspapers, print ads, bill boards, business signs, websites. etc. There is no end to it. There is clutter--dare I call it mind spam--everywhere. All of these businesses interrupting your train of thought constantly in order to get you to spend money.
Clutter, Clutter...
As the stakes get higher, the clutter is getting worse. Have you noticed how many movie posters/signs/banners are now starting to appear in your local mall? I walked through a mall recently and they have now started to hang the posters from the ceiling! Worse, the posters were all for the same movie and were strung together no more than a few yards apart. Just down a single hall within the mall, there were at least 20 posters one right after another essentially shouting for your attention. There was no way you could miss them. The movie being advertised was MR. & MRS. SMITH. No wonder it did so well in the opening weekend. Between these posters (and of course the soap opera being played out on the tabloids between Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Jennifer Anniston), it's no wonder the movie was a hit.
...and More Clutter
Here's another example of recently added clutter. There is a mall near my office (different from the mall mentioned above) that I sometimes go to for lunch. The mall has a typical foodcourt with a lot of tables. Up until recently, the tables were very typical--just a plain table top. About two weeks ago, they replaced every single one of them. What did they replace them with? Wooden tables with a plexi-glas table top insert that you could see through--where they could place more ads! Now you can't even sit down in the mall to have a nice quite meal without being distracted with more ads fighting for a piece of your brain.
I'm certainly not against advertising. All I'm saying is that every ad is designed for this: to interrupt your train of thought, tell you about their product, and get you to go buy more stuff (whether you need it or not). It's called interruption marketing for a reason. Unless they are able to interrupt your current thoughts with their ads, the ads don't work.
And this is just advertising. Add to this all the other forms of media, the voices of your friends and family, and there are a lot of internal representations buzzing around in our minds.

In late 2006, an Australian research study showed that 20-minutes of interval training led to more weight loss than doing regular cardio training for 40 minutes. And over a decade ago, researchers at Laval University in Canada also showed that intervals were better for weight loss, even though more time was spent doing cardio.I also want to show you how a busy executive lost 15 Pounds of fat & 4.5 inches using strength and interval training.A busy financial executive, Andy Wallis has made huge changes in his workouts and lifestyle. Like many people, Andy was frustrated by his lack of results prior to finding strength & interval training. But with his new lifestyle, he has converted his body, just like you can. Here is the rest of Andy's success story.CB: What features do you like about strength & interval training?AW: I love the fact that each session doesn't take too long and that if I do not know how to do a particular exercise that all I have to do is to look in the back of the Workout Log to see a diagram of the exercise together with a d

What do I mean by internal representations? They are the internal equivalent to our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. This is how we think. And thought is power. We all have memories of these experiences, internal representations, that are replayed in our thoughts over and over. If I say, "pink elephant" you automatically form a representation of this phrase within your mind. Same with any other noun. If you notice a song stuck in your head, that's the internal representation of sound. Same with the words of other people. If you are in love, how many times do you hear the other person saying "I love you" in your mind even though they are no where in sight.
Here is a secret: your internal representations drive your current actions! They control our pain and pleasure which largely determines the actions you take. So advertisers work very hard to associate feelings of pleasure to having their product and pain to not having it.
If You Don't Think for Yourself, Others Will Do it For You!
There is a price we are all paying for all of this mind clutter--or mind spam. It means that you have to be really disciplined and mentally aware of what is happening so that you can choose your own thoughts. With so many distractions, you have to have an iron will to stay focused on your own personal goals and beliefs. If you don't learn to think for yourself, there are a lot of other people who are happy to do your thinking for you. The exact same thing is true for planning: if you don't have a plan for your life, others will plan it for you.
So with with this ocean of mind spam all around us, it's no wonder that we sometimes feel overwhelmed. That's because we are! At least mentally.
Take Back Control of Your Thoughts!
What are we to do? How do we take back control? There are a lot of ways, but the most effective way I have found yet is through audio programs. A lot of audio programs--but ones that I choose for myself. Ones where I know I will learn and where I know I will be fed the beliefs and ideas I need to achieve my goals. Even better, if I can create my own audio content in the form of Power Affirmations, so that pick the beliefs and the goals I want to focus on repeatedly in order to create the right internal representations and habits that will lead me to their fulfillment.
Why is the iPod (or any other MP3 player for that matter) the ultimate self-help tool? Simply because you can pack so much positive audio content in it and take it everywhere you go.
A Short History of Self-Help Audio
First there were records. Some people listened to positive material on records, but not many. I understand that Earl Nightingale had a best selling record, but I haven't heard of any others. Besides, you can only fit a small amount of material, it isn't portable, and you can't listen in your car.
Then there were casette tapes. This is when self-help audio really exploded. They were small, portable (the Walkman was the "original" iPod--how did Sony miss the transition to digital!), and you could listen in your car. But the amount of content was still limited--it took
