[Learning Bytes] 3 Ways to Activate Your Learning Muscles
Did you know that stress interferes with learning? Reactions from our survival brains cause us to sabotage our own efforts to learn, grow, and change. I’ve made several “Activate” videos with short techniques to help learners activate the positive thinking and learning part of their brains and let their survival brain reactions fade. With just 10 seconds at a time of focused attention on a single source of physical sensory input, or by consciously producing a desired emotion, you can intentionally activate the more positive regions of your brain. Here is an Activate break using your sense of touch: https://youtu.be/5WyuiN78dXo. You can see additional ways to use this technique in other Activate breaks. For more about these techniques and others, check out Positive Intelligence (https://PositiveIntelligence.com) and my LearningSim website (https://learningsim.com). Look for leadership applications and instructions in the Technical Rock Star Leadership Guide. Make a rock star out of yourself and each of your team members (without the ego stuff!) and win the respect and influence you deserve. https://stevesemler.kit.com/rockstarguide You can also sign up for a complimentary Positive Intelligence® demo session with me, Steve Semler, your friendly neighborhood PQ Coach: https://calendly.com/learningsimfp/pqdemo Happy learning, P.S.
