5 Things I want you to know about my Miami Trip

When I landed in the picturesque trendy city of Miami I had no idea how transformative the trip was going to be. I was leaving my 2 children for the longest time ever – 5 days, and I was to complete course on the Neuroscience of Change and Transformation. Something I knew nothing about.

The brillant Dr. Srini Pillay

The entire time I thought the MOST about Limitless Women, as it was a course focused on how to leverage brain science within the context of coaching.  After completing the course I wish EVERY women alive could understand how to utilize the power of the brain in order to embrace the very essence of what makes them unique and not only use this to their advantage but to work on eliminating very things that hold us back….from success.

One powerful thing that happened to me is that I was able to let go of my constant ‘obsessing’ about the kids; or I would argue unhealthy worrying about the children when I am not with them.  What I did do instead was focus on being present.

Fully present. And it felt good…REALLY good.

I did this using brain-based insights that worked to train my brain differently.

And it worked…I am not going to write “ I didn’t miss the kids….” But I will say the suffocation I normally feel being apart from them did not exist at all on this trip.

5 Key Insights were:

             1. "It is simply impossible to change without your brain changing. Good thing is that it can…but just because something can does not mean it will. That is why you live your life outside your capabilities.” - Dr. Srini Pillay

“     2. "Effective envisioning involves not just the ability to see things, but the ability to feel things as well. The brain is more likely to change when thought and emotion are aligned.”- - Dr. Srini Pillay

3     3. “Clarity of mind and intention are powerful partners especially when what is intended involves a leaning into action.” - Dr. Srini Pillay

             4. Things are often not as they are, but as you wish to see them.”

            5. "In order for people to great, they have to surrender to the power of their own resistance”  - Dr. Srini Pillay

What was the most incredible part is that were able to understand how these ideas work right away; we put them into practice in the course….using OUR OWN ISSUES!

I feel powerful beyond words with this new knowledge…!

Lastly, for the city of Miami you will never know what you will experience, who you will run into and the energy of this city is on another level.  It has its own unique flavour and style you just feel being there and going to its various attractions.

I had to go to the lobby for something at 2:00am and who did I happen to run into was that fastest man in the world: Usain Bolt himself.

My cousin Corrine, Usain Bolt and me in the Mondrian lobby

Super calm, cool and collected.

I was a blubbering fool fascinated by his dominance this past Olympics asking every question underneath the sun:

How did you do it?

You made it look so easy!

His response was simply, “Its all about winning.” Although he did reference the intense training, I thought about brain science once again. He has the ability to train his brain to a level of superiority and discipline to win: as most Olympic athletes do.  And we are all amazed by it…it is the very thing that separates us from one another.

How do you want to train YOUR brain to achieve excellence in life?
