Change Your Personality

1. Change Your Personality
Become Self Aware
Dr John Bergman
“Change your personality and you change
your personal reality” Dr Joe Dispenza

2. Memorizing emotions = living in the past
There must be a pony in
here somewhere

3. Experiences that we have shapes the way
the brain is structured
Thinking and feeling = emotion is a
chemical change in your body
Ancient Proverb:
If you meet 3 jerks in
a day then you are
the jerk!

4. Experiences that we have shapes the way
the brain is structured
Neurons produce these Chemical changes
in your body
Neurons that “fire together wire together”

5. Experiences that we have shapes the way
the brain is structured
Consistent firing = consistent Chemical
production = consistent emotions

6. •sympathetic

8. Neuroplasticity
Mindful = intentionally
aware of experiences
has they are unfolding

9. •How are or have you been educated to think
•Have you been educated to connect to your needs
Depressed or sad do you judge your self for being depressed
“I am a failure,
I am not motivated,
I am stupid,
I am not respected”
Thousands of Years of training

10. 34 yo woman depressed 10 years 70 yo woman depressed 30 years
Years of Thought/feeling + Chemical Production=
Emotion + Body response
What is Your Diagnosis? What Chemical does that generate?

11. Metacognitive = “Thinking how you Think”
1. Person knowledge which is understanding one's own capabilities.
2. Task knowledge which is how one perceives the difficulty of a task which is
the content, length, and the type of assignment.
3. Strategic knowledge which is one's own capability for using strategies to
learn information.
•Consciousness
•awareness
•self-awareness
•maximize one's potential to think,
•ethical/moral rules
Metacognition variously refers to the study of memory-
monitoring and self-regulation, meta-reasoning,

12. Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging
Volume 191, Issue 1 , Pages 36-43, 30 January 2011
Mindfulness practice leads to increases in regional brain gray matter
density
The results suggest that participation in Mindfulness-Based Stress
Reduction (MBSR) is associated with changes in gray matter concentration
in brain regions involved in learning and memory processes, emotion
regulation, self-referential processing, and perspective taking
Neuroplasticity

13. Environment and brain plasticity:
towards an endogenous pharmacotherapy.
Physiol Rev. 2014 Jan
Brain plasticity refers to the remarkable property of cerebral
neurons to change their structure and function in response to
experience
…how changes at the level of neuronal properties can ultimately
affect and direct key perceptual and behavioral outputs.
…striking ability of environmental enrichment and physical
exercise to empower adult brain plasticity.
Endogenous substances are those that originate from within an organism, tissue, or
cell
Pharmacotherapy is the treatment of disease through the administration of drugs

14. Criticism Blame Judgment
are just a way to say Please
My brother blames me for making him angry
With NVC you will never hear Criticism Blame Judgment
You will hear only Please or Thank You

15. New Education
Wrongness or Rightness
No More Right or Wrong
No Punishment
No Reward
2 dangerous words:
Deserve
Should
It Is a Violent act to imply
that others can say
something that can hurt you

16. The Power of I Am to change
Chemicals
Feelings and emotions
are from our
experiences
Canadian
psychologist
Donald Hebb’s,
“neurons that fire
together wire
together.”

17. In conclusion, oxidant/antioxidant balances were changed in
fibromyalgia. Increased free radical levels may be responsible
for the development of fibromyalgia. These findings may
support the hypothesis of fibromyalgia as an oxidative disorder.
Rheumatology International
April 2005, Volume 25, Issue 3, pp 188-190
Free radicals and antioxidants in primary fibromyalgia:
an oxidative stress disorder?
Fibromyalgia = Oxidative Stress Disorder

18. Observation:
description of “what’s actually happening” as reported by our senses
The highest form of human intelligence. “To observe without judgment”
•sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell
•“inner” senses = our inner voice, vision, thoughts
• “Just the facts.”
Observation vs. Observation Mixed with Evaluation
“Your too sensitive” , “Your judgmental”
good~bad, right~wrong, appropriate~inappropriate
“Can you tell me what you think is the challenge you have in communication”
•YEAH HE HAS A BIG MOUTH
•HE TALKS TO MUCH/TO LITTLE
“A Memory with out the emotional charge is
called wisdom… “ Dr Joe Dispenza

19. NVC Non-Violent Communication
Observation = what do you actually see/hear/happened
(without judgment)
Feelings = What you feel (only your feelings)
Needs = clear and concise (Not feeling better)
Request = Clear (and be ok with a "no" answer)
“A Memory with out the emotional charge is
called wisdom… “ Dr Joe Dispenza

20. “I’m Feeling” = a Chemical
Behind Every Feeling there is a NEED
•“are you feeling sad because your needing… to be understood
•“are you feeling angry because your needing… to be heard
•“are you feeling frustrated because your needing…connection

21. Change Your State
Takes a Heart Beat
•Change your body posture
•Change your breathing
•Voice Tone
•Language
Embody the incantations , you
use your body and your voice
with enough intensity and
repetitions so it sticks in your
mind. Don’t hope to be in a
good state DEMAND it
body posture
Certain / Uncertain
Slight change 1 mm what great changes
Abundance” Gods wealth is circulating in my life and flows to me in avalanches of
abundance, all of my needs desires and goals are met instantly by infinite intelligence. For I
am one with God and God is everything” Now imagine the abundance in your life and feel
grateful, and the feelings that the abundance gives

22. •The hippocampus shrinks in late adulthood
•leading to impaired memory and increased risk for dementia
•Hippocampal and medial temporal lobe volumes are larger in
higher-fit adults
•findings indicate that aerobic exercise training is effective at
reversing hippocampal volume loss in late adulthood…
Exercise training increases size of hippocampus and
improves memory

33. MSG and Depression
Researchers have also discovered that most people with
major depressive disease (MDD) have higher levels of the
neurotransmitter glutamate in their spinal fluid (CSF) and
blood plasma.
This is the same glutamate found as a food additive-for
example, MSG (monosodium glutamate), hydrolyzed
proteins, calcium or sodium casienate, soy protein
isolate, vegetable protein concentrate or isolate, etc.
Free glutamate, that is, existing outside the neurons, is very
toxic to brain connections and brain cells themselves --
mainly by a process called excitotoxicity.

34. Vaccine-related brain injury
Vaccines are made of two components -- the agent you
wish to vaccinate against and an immune adjuvant.
These adjuvants are composed of such things as
aluminum compounds, MSG, lipid compounds and
even mercury.
Studies have shown that these adjuvants, from a single
vaccine, can cause immune overactivation
**No studies show the effects of the hyper-
sensatization of the immune system to yearly flu
shots from 6 months for life

35. Vaccines, Depression and Neurodegeneration After Age 50:
Another Reason to Avoid the Recommended Vaccines.
By Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., CCN
40 million Americans suffer from major depressive disorder
anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder,
•chronic brain inflammation.
•MSG on your brain and mood
•connections between pesticides and neurological disorders
•vaccinations cause brain inflammation
•impact of an expanding vaccine schedule
Current recommendations by the CDC for adult
vaccinations include a total of 14 separate inoculations with
infectious agents and powerful immune adjuvants.

36. Researchers at Harvard, Yale, and the M.I.T.
first evidence that meditation can alter the physical
structure of our brains
“Our data suggest that meditation practice can promote cortical plasticity in
adults in areas important for cognitive and emotional processing and well-
being,”
“These findings are consistent with other studies that demonstrated increased
thickness of:
• music areas in the brains of musicians
•visual and motor areas in the brains of jugglers
In other words, the structure of an adult brain can change in response to
repeated practice.”

• Transcend cultural
• Needs make no reference
to any specific person
doing any specific thing
