My work collegues in the Llamberis Pass - Wales
August 2009
Over the last 2 summer seasons I been extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work for an inspiring New Zealand personal development company called 'FULL ON' in Wales. (www.fullon.co.nz) Amongst rad climbing, bouldering and exploring the Snowdonia area in the liquid sunshine we had the pleasure of running a personal development programme to students from all over the USA. The mission: to get better results out of life!
Every day I was inspired. I loved my job, the ethos, colleagues and the students. To see a student break through a board with their bare hand, abseil off a 70 foot castle and see a spark in their eye that they could achieve whatever they want in life was powerful. To hear students speak positive and real affirmations of who they are in their life and what they want to accomplish, and to see their smile and self-motivation as they left at the end of the day.

The 'Reticular activating system (R.A.S) ', is one of the key concepts that is discussed throughout the day. Recently, I've been researching and thinking more about it and how it applies to my life.
The reticular activating system is the name given to the part of the brain (the reticular formation and its connections) believed to be the center of arousal and motivation in mammals (including humans).
The reticular activating system interprets and reacts to "information" from internal stimuli, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs as well as external sensory stimuli by regulating arousal states, attentional focus, and the level of awareness; critical elements of consciousness itself (Empson 1986; Tice & Steinberg 1989). How we interpret, respond, and react to "information" then, is managed by the brain's reticular formation stimulating the thalamus and cortex, and controlling attentiveness and level of arousal (Empson 1986).

Walking into the crag...
Through the cave....
Trudz, Trace and Drewski scope the lines!
When we plug in amazing empowering thoughts to our Reticular Activating System about who we aspire and want to be, and our ultimate dreams on a daily momentarily basis.... then we seek for the opportunities to arise, ideas flow freely and our motivation rises high to get out and make it happen.
'' For a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.''
Proverbs 23:7
'' All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The MIND is everything. What we think we become.''
Buddha 562-483 BC

"I think therefore I am".
Be free and dream your DREAM.
Yup we are spelling out something....
