Today on the Brain Booster we are joined by an extraordinarily special guest Dr Ellen Langer Dr Langer has been one of the most influential people in the world of psychology over the past 40 years She was the first female tenured professor in psychology at Harvard Has written numerous books She has conducted so many incredible experiments, most notably the ‘counterclockwise’ experiment where she had older men go into a ‘pod’ that took them back to their younger selves. The results as we find out today were extraordinary She has been studying Mindfulness for the past 35 years and makes clear that mindfulness is NOT meditation Mindfulness is being aware of what is ACTUALLY happening as opposed to what we think is happening based on our auto pilot responses Why we need to realise that we DON’T knowHow our assumptions keep constantly tricking usHow research only gives us PROBABILITIES not absolutesThe ‘counterclockwise’ study and the amazing possibilities that open upIs ageing a direct consequence of our beliefs surrounding what we believe SHOULD be happening?Can we think ourselves WELL?Can we think ourselves SICK?What living a mindful life looks like To get a copy of Ellen Langer’s new book The Mindful Body go to Amazon UK BUILDING STABLE CONFIDENCE – THE NEW PROGRAM To get your copy of the brand new program with Raymond Prior and Karl Morris It will truly make a BIG difference to your development Link to buy: Building Stable Confidence

The Lost Art of Golf 2 day school at Archerfield Links with Karl Morris and Gary Nicol The ULTIMATE interactive learning experience at the ULTIMATE location Jim has been on the show a number of times and there has always been a wonderful response to his words of wisdom. He has an incredible background in his coaching development over many years looking into all areas of the Mind Body connection Become a Mind Factor Coach - Early Bird Offer 2024 Mind Factor Certification Course We discussed in great detail perhaps the most overlooked opportunity to improve your game. The 90% of golf that isn’t golf!! We spend so much of our golfing time NOT playing golf and yet how many golfers really look into what is happening during this time and HOW they can maximise their experience? I have long contended that the quality of what you do in the 90% will have a DIRECT influence on what you do when it comes to play your shots. We discussed: The value of being EXTERNAL in between shotsMaking a conscious decision to connect with the beauty of the golf courseConnecting and coming to your SENSESThe connection with the ‘Power of NOW’Losing your absorption in your own SELFConnecting with other people and how this can cross over into your lifeYour behaviour in between shots and how this becomes totally unconsciousThe pace of you walk and the ‘Mind Body’ connectionThe danger of focusing too much on OUTCOMES How tuning into your external world helps you LISTEN to the golf course. Being attuned to your ENVIRONMENT and then being able to RESPOND to that environment The value of good conversation and being WIDE with your focusThe feeling of ‘lightness’ and how that can help you get into the shotMoe Norman and ‘positive indifference’Random reinforcement syndrome – what is it and why do we fall into its trap It is such a pleasure to speak to Jim He has such a wonderful INTENTION to help golfers You can only benefit from is wonderful wisdom.
