Your Reticular Activation
System - Part One
You create your own reality, but how? One way is by your Reticular Activation System or RAS. This is the part of your brain that automatically filters out information that isn't important to you, and brings your attention to things that are.
A good example of this is when you get a new car. Before you got the car you never noticed them around, but once you got one you begin to see them everywhere. Now this isn't a conscious process, you aren't driving around looking for them, it is completely unconscious and automactic.
This is important because this same process happens in our everyday lives. We are literally surrounded by "unseen" opportunities and choices at all times, but often do not see them because we mentally filter them out.
When something becomes important to us, our RAS begins to notice it in our environment automatically. When your desire to be lean and healthy is a priority, you'll notice all the different foods around you that are both enjoyable and make you lean.

How do you intentionally program your RAS?
