Dolphins, now thought the most intelligent animals besides humans, can be trained to perform magnificent feats using techniques called \u201cchunking\u201d and \u201cpositive reinforcement\u201d.<\/p>\nDolphins, now thought the most intelligent animals besides humans, can be trained to perform magnificent feats using techniques called \u201cchunking\u201d and \u201cpositive reinforcement\u201d.<\/p>\n
By breaking the desired behavior down into many smaller steps and giving the dolphins tasty fish as rewards when they execute the steps properly, their trainers teach them complex repertoires.<\/p>\n
When the dolphins perform these complex repertoires correctly on command, their training is considered successful.<\/p>\n
MINDWORKS offers workshops and trainings that teach techniques such as chunking and positive reinforcement to overcome mental blocks that sabotage the achievement of goals and dreams.<\/p>\n
These mental blocks consist of limiting thoughts and beliefs, uncomfortable feelings, negative attitudes, andbad habits. When triggered, they create resistance to taking the constructive actions necessary for accomplishment.<\/p>\n
Breaking through the resistance first requires recognizing what specific blocks are in play and grasping their true purpose.<\/p>\n
In the Understanding Self-Sabotage Workshop, we discuss the following questions:<\/p>\n
1. What is self-sabotage?
\n2. What are the ways we sabotage ourselves?
\n3. How does self-sabotage develop?
\n4. Why do we do it?
\n5. What triggers our doing it?<\/p>\n
With answers to these fundamental questions, the recovering self-saboteur knows what to look for in monitoring their own negative mental states and avoidance patterns.<\/p>\n
With this knowledge, they learn how to formulate specific ways to interrupt that behavior when it occurs, and substitute constructive thinking and action based on their true values and preferences.<\/p>\n
They can also devise a reward system for successful substitution. Using hypnotic techniques, they then implant and strengthen these formulations in their subconscious mind, where positive change originates.<\/p>\n
When one of their self-sabotage triggers occurs, they can choose replacement behavior that self-empowers and reward them for doing so.<\/p>\n
In the Stop Self-Sabotage Training, participants practice:<\/p>\n
1. Clarifying and affirming their dreams, goals and values.
\n2. Identifying specific ways they self-sabotage
\n3. Developing replacement strategies and rewards based on personal values, preferences, skills, talents, etc.
\n4. Catching themselves in the act of self-sabotage
\n5. Implementing the replacement strategies<\/p>\n
