You know that a mind is a terrible thing to wasteand when it comes to

transforming your brain into a wealth-generating, abundance-grabbing

machine, you need a few exercises lined up in your financial arsenal. As

you read throughout the course of the Millionaires Brain, your mind is

made up of levels, sublevels, cortexes, neurons, and all sorts of fired-up

connections that can either help you achieve success, or hold you back

from raking in the kind of money you deserve.

You want to be rich, positive, and abundant, right? Of course thats

what everyone wants in life! But rather than attribute someones

financial prowess to their luck and good fortune, its time to reconsider

that these people know something you dont. While money doesnt

grow on trees, it certainly is all around us in abundance and with the

right brain training and tenacity, you can ensure that youre on the

receiving end of financial prosperity.

Think of this Brain Optimizer workbook as your training manual for

success. While the Millionaires Brain helped you learn the science

behind why some people are richwhile others stay mired in poverty

think of this as a workout book filled with the training and exercises that

you can do to attract more wealth into your life. No matter what your

experience with brain training, the Law of Attraction, and other

positivity exercises, this workbook will lay out the steps you need to takein clear, simple, and highly productive steps.

Make a commitment to doing these exercises each and every day. The

more you do these exercises, the more likely it is that youll start

attracting positivity and abundance into your life. After all, these

exercises can have a powerful impact on your life but only if youre

willing to put in the work that will get you what you want.

As you read through Millionaires Brain, its likely that you discovered a

few new surprising and powerful things about your brain. For example,

your brain isnt just a lump of muscle and memory in your head, waiting

to learn something new. Your mind is continually making connections,

forming new thoughts and processes, and creating new neurons that can

either reinforce your old behaviours, or develop new ones.

The basis for Millionaires Brain is that you can train these new neurons

to develop positive habits and beliefs regarding you and money. The

more you put these thoughts and habits into practice, the more likely it

is that you can use the Law of Attraction to create an abundant and

wealthy lifestyle.

Think of these brain optimization practices as icing on the mind-money

cake. Brain optimizers are exactly that theyre exercises that are

designed to help you achieve your minds full potential. Your mind is

made up of so many individual parts that its important to connect them

together with powerful practices. Thats exactly what these brain

optimizers are the techniques and exercises that will help you form

new wealth-generating connections in your brain.

When you go to the gym, you dont just work out for a couple of minutes

and then expect yourself to walk out looking like a supermodel or action

hero (if that was the case, wed never read another diet book or follow

another exercise program again!). Instead, we need to put in the time

and dedication that allows us to achieve our weight-loss goals. We have

to exercise, and we have to complement our healthy new lifestyle with a

good diet.

Well, these brain optimizers operate in the same way. You have to make

a commitment to do them everyday, and you have to complement these

exercises with positive thinking, productive habits, and a healthy dose of

optimism. If your mind, body, and soul isnt aligned for achieving this

goal, you may quickly realize that you wont be able to attract

abundance into your life.

These brain optimizers are successful for a simple reason: theyre each

designed to take advantage of a unique part of your brain, neural

connection, or brain wave. Each brain optimizer trains a specific part of

your brain, resulting in the kind of abundant results that will, quite

frankly, astound you. These brain optimizers are designed to change

how your brain waves operate, thus ensuring that your new and positive

thoughts stick with you for the rest of your life. These brain optimizersare certainly no joke and we guarantee youll realize that just after a

few days of practice.

If youve ever attended a yoga class, you might realize that yogis are

unique people who have trained their minds and hearts to seek out

inner peace and calm. As a result, their lives are much less stressful,

despite the fact that they may be exposed to the same stimuli as us.

Thats because they frequently practice these mind-clearing techniques,

thus allowing their brains to calm down and release any stress that they

may have felt throughout the day.

While master yogis take years and gurus to make this happen, you dont

need to make a spiritual trip to Nepal to discover the incredible benefits

that come hand-in-hand with constant practice. In fact, we want you to

let go of the idea that practice is a dirty word.

Sure, practicing anything means putting in a lot of time and grunt work

before we see any results. But these brain optimizers are different.

They dont require you to have a specific skill, and they certainly arent

as expensive as buying a one-way plane ticket to visit your guru in India.

Theyre not laborious and technical; in fact, these brain optimizers are

often fun.

Whats more, if you find it difficult to engage in these brain optimizer s,all you have to do is come back to this workbook and try again. Theres

no beating yourself up if you dont get a certain concept, or get

frustrated, or lose your patience.

The only thing you have to do is commit to these practices each and

every day. Its like engaging in a routine, rather than practicing a new

skill. If you do it every dayeven the days when youd rather crawl into

bed or hang out catching up on your favourite TV show just giveyourself five to ten minutes to work on these brain optimizers.

As you practice, these brain optimizers will become routine to you but

the results certainly wont be. In fact, we guarantee that as you practice,

youll become so motivated by the abundance and positivity in your life

that you wont wantto stop.

Thats the amazing thing about these brain optimizers. With practice

and a little bit of patience youll be astounded by how much of an

impact these results can have within your life. And not just your life;

those of your family and friends, too. Living a positive and productive

life means challenging and inspiring those around you to do the same. It

means that as you become successful, those you love and care for the

most will become successful as well.

As you can see, theres nothing that could go wrong by trying out these

brain optimizers within your own life. Just give them a few weeks, and

youll see the kind of results that truly help you understand and realize

the power of your own potential.

Now lets start exploring some of the brain optimizers youll be using

throughout this workbookand for your foreseeable future.

One of the biggest reasons why we hold ourselves back from achieving

our dreams is because we simply feel too busy or too stressed to

make it happen. We know that in order to accumulate more wealth, we

have to make a commitment to increasing our financial education and

filling ourselves with positive self-belief.

But perhaps our negative beliefs are standingbetween us and our dreams. We start telling

ourselves that were too busy, or too stressed, or

even not good enough to pursue a more wealthy

lifestyle. We let days of potential slip through

our fingers, until one day we wake up with the

full realization that we let so much wasted

opportunity go by.

Thats why its critical to break down any negative beliefs that might still

be clinging to your brain. Negative beliefs have been reinforced by years

perhaps even decades of reinforcement and societal influences.

Perhaps we wanted to be rich, but our parents told us to keep our feet

on the ground and not dream so big.

Perhaps we had dreams of becoming wealthy, but because we didnt

know enough millionaires, our access to resources and knowledge

became limited. Perhaps you even tried to become wealthy yourself,

only to experience backlash or a financial crisis that crushed your dreams

before they even started.

There are dozens of reasons why it can be difficult to escape these

negative thoughts and habits. Thats why its important to provide your

brain with plenty of alpha enhancement and theta bursts, as these brain

waves can help you become more self-aware, relaxed, and peaceful in

other words, primed for pumping positive beliefs into your brain.

Being more self-aware is a unique quality that can help you attract morepositivity and abundance into your life. Being self-aware helps you

pause and realize when youre being reactive to negative thoughts in

your head.

You see, without mindfulness and self-awareness, it can be all too easy

to let negative thoughts and habits take over. Its like being on autopilot

and instead of moving yourself forward to success, youre just stuck in

the same habits and thought cycles, forever denying yourself the joy andabundance of wealth.

However, neuroscientists

believe that when you engage

in meditative acts, you allow

critical brain wavesincluding

your alpha and theta waves

to take over, thus relaxingyour brain, creating emotional

stability, and creating an

aware state of mind. Without

activating these brain waves, it can be impossible to become aware of

the negative self-beliefs that are holding us back from success.


10/21

10

To help activate these alpha and theta waves, consider using the

following meditative techniques:

Find a calm and quiet place where you can relax without worrying aboutnoises or distractions. In order to activate your alpha waves which is a

state of deep relaxation its important not to distract yourself with your

phone, television, or any other common noises that could prevent you from

achieving this state of mind. Turn off the television, leave your phone in

the other room, and find a quiet spot in your house or apartment where

you can be alone.

If youre living with roommates or family members, consider letting them

know that youre about to take a few minutes for yourself, and you

shouldnt be disturbed. That way, you wont have family members walking

in on your meditation or roommates disturbing your efforts to activate your

alpha waves.

Get in a comfortable position where you can sit for a few minutes without

focusing on your physical self. For example, if youre sitting cross-legged

but this position doesnt come naturally to you, you may want to consider

lying down or sitting up on your bed. If youre too busy focusing on your

aching back or readjusting your legs during your meditative process, youre

not going to be able to activate the alpha waves that are essential for

breaking down negative thoughts.

Take a few deep breaths. Taking the time to focus on your breathing can

help trigger your alpha waves, which is essential for getting your brain intoa deep state of deep relaxation. Breathe in for a count of five through your

nose, and breathe out for a count of six through your mouth. Really focus

on your breathing here. Let the breath fill up your tummy, and exhale until

your belly is a hollow pit. Dont let your mind focus on anything else other

than your breathing, as this can distract your mind from activating its alpha

waves.


11/21

11

Once youve reached this heightened

sense of self and dont rush it; it can

take either a few minutes to relax

yourself, or half an hour its time to

start analyzing the negative beliefs that

are holding you back from achieving a

life of abundance and wealth. With

your alpha and theta brain waves in full

motion, youll be able to analyze your

negative thoughts without feeling

down about yourself.

While you do this, your brain will be

engaged in desynchronization, which

severs ties between well-connected

areas of your brain. In other words, your alpha and theta waves are

breaking down the connection between your neural pathways and your

negative thoughts, meaning that theyll become less stronger and

reinforced in your mind.

Once youre in this state of deep relaxation, its time to get your theta

bursts working for you. Theta bursts are slower brain waves than

alpha rhythms, which will signify a deeply relaxed state of mind.

Theta bursts are normally associated with being asleep, but here, it

simply means that youre in such a relaxed state that you feel calm.

If you find yourself getting distracted as you focus on your breathing,

just settle back into your spot and try it all over again. Dont pressure

yourself to feel relaxed or beat yourself up if it doesnt happen fast

enough. Meditation can take years to master, so youre not going to

get it in one fell swoop. The point is to get comfortable with relaxing

so you can start focusing on the negative self-beliefs that arepreventing you from achieving your financial success.

This is essential for replacing negative thoughts with positive beliefs, as

it helps break down the strength of toxic neural connections that are

preventing you from achieving success.

Still not convinced about the benefits of meditation? Just the simple actof taking a moment to process your inner thoughts can help you achieve

the following benefits:

During this activity, think back to the societal influences and beliefs that

are holding you back with your money practices. Dont ruminate over

these thoughts until they make you feel down. The point is to recognize

that they exist, and realize that theyre holding you back. In the next

activity, youll learn to replace these negative thoughts with more

positive and productive ways of thinking.

Reduce your levels of stress and depression in your mind and

body;

Enhance self-awareness, including becoming aware of toxic habits

that might be holding you back from success;

Emotional control, which is essential for resulting impulses to

engage in familiar negative thinking and toxic habits;

Increase higher brain functions;

Clarify inner reflection;

Visibly grow more brain matter and enhance positive connections

within the brain;

Boost immune system;Reduce addictive behaviour to toxic habits and negative ways of

thinking about money; and

Make room for enhanced development of communication and

social skills.

Cognitive behavioural therapy is critical for gaining control over your

thoughts and emotions, which is important for creating positive beliefs.

With cognitive behavioural therapy, youre not at the mercy of negative

thoughts or impulsive emotions that could make you feel depressed or

anxious about money. Instead, cognitive behavioural therapy ensures

that your thoughts are primed to create feelings of positivity and

abundance throughout your body.

After all, neuroscientists have long since discovered that our thoughts

control our emotions, and not the other way around. It may feel that

when we become sad or happy, our thoughts follow suit; however, by

controlling our thoughts, we can control our emotions, thus ensuring

that were always in a positive mindset to attract more wealth and

abundance.

For example, have you ever noticed that some people seem to thriveunder pressure, while others cave in and shut down at the smallest sign

of stress? Thats the heart behind cognitive behavioural therapy. Some

people allow their thoughts to take over, while others are in complete

control at all times. Take, for example, two students who need to study

for their

Cognitive behavioural therapy can have a huge impact on our brains

functions, as brainwaves and neural connections form the foundation ofour thoughts and habits. In the Millionaires Brain book, you already

learned that neural connections form the basis for powerful thoughts

and habits; cognitive behavioural therapy can help you reform these

neural pathways so that your positive thoughts are more powerful than

any negative ones.


14/21

14

In other words, cognitive behavioural therapy can help you rewire your

brain, thus ensuring that your mind is primed for positivity and power.

Neuroscientists have estimated that this process can take approximately

12 weeks to occur, with six weeks being necessary for breaking down

the negative thoughts and habits that currently reside in your mind.

Cognitive behavioural therapy can also have the following advantages:

To engage in cognitive behavioural therapy, considering utilizing the

following tips and techniques:

Reduce anxiety and depression associated with negative

thoughts and habits;

Take effect quickly, as cognitive behavioural therapy has been

shown to produce results in as little as 12 weeks;

Can be used easily by people with little to no experience with

cognitive behavioural therapy;

Improve your concentration and focus on achieving goals that are

important to you;

Improve your overall awareness of self;

Improve your mental attitude by allowing more positive thoughts

and habits to form in your brain; andImprove your overall sense of self-esteem and positive belief in

yourself.


15/21

Its time to recognize the negative thoughts and actions that are holding

you back from achieving success. During the meditation exercise that

youve been engaging in, recognize the negative thoughts that could be

holding you back. They may appear similar to the thoughts outlined

below:

Im not good at saving money.

Im never going to be rich.

Im defective, so Im never going to be wealthy.

People are going to laugh at me because Ill fail.

Im a failure at saving money.

Its my lot in life to be here.

Once you recognize the negative thoughts and beliefs that are holding

you back from attracting wealth and abundance into your life, youll

need to decide on what core belief you want to replace these thoughts

with. For example, if you commonly tell yourself that youre not good at

saving money, youll want to replace this comment with a more positive

thought, such as, I AM good at saving money.

Dont tell yourself that youre sometimes good at saving money or

most of the time youre good with money. Your positive belief needs

to be powerful and all-encompassing, which means there are no rules for

exceptions.

Identify how much you believe the negative core belief, and the new

positive belief. For example, you could rate it on a scale of one to ten,

with ten being you firmly believe it, and one being you dont believe it at

all. Be as honest with yourself as possible, as this can help ensure that

your cognitive behavioural therapy will be successful.


16/21

When it comes to replacing your negative beliefs with positive and

powerful ones, its important to repeat positive mantras to yourself as

youre meditating. When your brain waves are relaxed, its easier to

break down negative neural connections and replace them with positive

and stronger ones. Consider replacing your negative thoughts by saying

the following affirmations out loud:

Identify the negative core belief that youre experiencing. Are you

experiencing a negative belief that disappears when you feel more

positive about yourself? Or is it a stable thought that exists, no matter

what your mood or thoughts might be?

Strengthen the positive beliefs that you want to embrace in your own

mind. Cognitive behavioural therapy doesnt work by trying to ignore

the negative thoughts that already exist inside of your mind.

Instead, it works by focusing on the positive thoughts that youd like to

replace in your brain. If you spend more time giving strength andpower to your positive beliefs, your negative ones will eventually shrink

away, resulting in a more positive and powerful mindset that will

attract abundance into your life.

I am good with money.

I am wealthy.

I live a positive and powerful life.

My life is filled with abundance and wealth.

I am filled with potential and power.

I have an abundance of opportunities available to me.

I am capable of anything.


17/21

17

You dont necessarily have to believe these positive mantras the first

time you say them. The point is that the more you say these beliefs, the

more your brain will respond to your mantras and that will create the

kind of neural pathways that will lead to more productive and abundant

habits. Be as specific as possible with your mantras. Dont just give

yourself vague mantras about money; tell yourself how your wealthy

and abundant lifestyle will make a difference for you and your family

members.

Once youve start creating positive beliefs within your mind, you can

take your powers of attraction to the next level with the next brain

optimizer, which weve called the Gold Medal technique.

Neuro-linguistic programming (or NLP) is a relatively new phenomenon

within the world of neuroscience, as it didnt become recognized until

the late 1970s. NLP embraces the fact that communication and

language play important roles in the formation of our brains.

By using selective words and communicating them to ourselves and

others, we can help ensure that our brains are primed for success. In

effect, we can use NLP to tell our brains what to believe. NLP utilizes

and activates the same areas of the brain as meditation, which means

that our minds are much more receptive to positive mantras than when

were in any other state.

While there isnt a great deal of research that has been performed on

NLP since the 70s, it is still a powerful technique that can make it

possible for you to optimize your brain for wealth and abundance. To

effectively use NLP techniques to optimize your own brain, consider

taking the following steps:


18/21

18

Keep a journal of all the positive statements youve been saying to yourself

over the course of the last few weeks. Write down how you feel when you

say these positive statements to yourself. Do you believe in them? Do you

feel a sense of hope and happiness? Track your emotions in your journal,

as this will play an important role in helping you determine how your mind

is responding to these brain optimizers.

Repeat the positive mantras in the last exercise in a mirror or another

reflective surface. Sometimes looking yourself face to face can force you to

acknowledge that you need to believe in what youre saying. You may feel

uncomfortable at first, especially when you look yourself in the eye and say

positive things. This is because youre so used to negative thought

processes that saying something different might feel strange. But keep

going through with this exercise, as over time, youll come to feel m ore

comfortable with the act of looking yourself in the eye and telling yourself

positive things.

Tell someone you trust about the positive influence you want to have over

your mind. Since NLP techniques require you to use language and

communication, having someone provide you with verbal feedback about

your goals can help positive neural pathways form within your mind. Tell a

family member or friend about what youre doing, and what you require

from them. You want to tell someone who is going to be supportive of you

and pick you up when youre feeling down. Be very selective about who

you tell, as you dont want this person to mock you; this just reinforces any

negative beliefs and thought processes.


19/21

19

NLP works to reinforce your brains newfound positive beliefs. After all,

it can be very difficult for your brain to let go of negative beliefs and

thought processes, especially if theyve been reinforced by previous

events and experiences. Thats why its critical to recognize that your

beliefs are a matter of choice.

Interpret some negative events and experiences that youve encountered in

your past. Events and experiences can play a powerful role in forming

negative thought processes, as they serve to reinforce the dismal beliefs you

have in your mind.

Spin these previous events around into more positive ones. For example, if

you lost money on an investment during the Great Recession, dont use this

as a reason as to why you should avoid investing. Instead, regard it as a

learning experience. Instead of using aggressive investments, you could

spread your money out more so you wont be as impacted by a sudden dip

in the market.

Remove the words, I cant from your vocabulary. Saying I cant

acknowledges the fact that nothing is in your control, which removes your

sense of responsibility and power. If you want to optimize your brain to

achieve wealth, its important to recognize that everything in your life is a

choice. When you remove the words, I cant, youll find that there are

more options and choices available that you might not have realized before.

Pretend you can do the things you feel you cant do. For example, if you

think that youre bad at handling money, tell yourself that you are, and act

accordingly. This follows the mantra of fake it until you make it, which

means that with enough pretending, youll eventually become the thing you

want to be. Its just another example of how powerful and incredible the

mind can really be.


20/21

20

Youre not married to your negative beliefs, nor do you have to suffer

with them for the rest of your life. You can drop the beliefs that are

limiting you, or you can choose to keep these toxic beliefs in your life.

Give yourself permission to explore the newfound possibilities and

opportunities that are available to you. Dont restrict yourself based

upon your past, or from experiences that you may have encountered in

the world of finances. The past is your past and the future is waiting

for you with new potential and choices.

These brain optimizers are designed to show you something powerful:

its your choice whether you end up wealthy or not. Wealth isnt

something that happens to a lucky few, or something thats randomly

given to some people over another. Money is something that you can

make happen in your life with a little bit of work and a few smarter

choices.

Its like weight loss or pursuing a job youve always wanted. Its not

going to happen right away, nor is it going to happen if you sit back and

wait for everything to be handed to you. It takes a considerable amount

of effort and work to attract wealth into your life but when you use

these brain optimizers, youll notice something amazing happen.


21/21

Youll notice that youll start to make smarter choices with your money.

Instead of spending your pay check as soon as you get it, youll find that

the impulse to spend is gone and instead, you want to save as much

money as possible. Youll discover that you dont look at money as

something you dont have enough of; instead, youll real ize that you

have an abundance of money already, and you can help it to grow.

Youll also realize the power and potential that resides within your own

mind. When you realize the incredible potential that your brain can

achieve, youll suddenly be in awe ofall that you can do. Nothing seems

off-limits to you.

Youll be able to pursue anything and everything in your path andwhats more, you wont encounter any of the limiting thoughts and

beliefs that previously held you back. Youll feel energized and

heightened by the sense of your own power and potential. And whats

more, youll inspire those around you. Your family members and friends

will realize just how powerful positive thinking can be and theyll be

quick to follow suit.

Right now, you have a choice. You canchoose to use the exercises youve found in

this workbook. You can choose to optimize

your brain for success, and achieve the life

youve always wanted. Or you could choose

to continue down the same path, hoping for

a wealthy life but always ending up

disappointed.

The choice is before you so which options

will you choose?
