When you start to look into the brain, really we don’t fully understand it. Most of the information that we have been told we have been lies. I don’t believe that as human beings we only use 10% of our brains, that suggests there is a key somewhere that we can unlock the other 90%, or that there is a way to keep us imprisoned in the 10% thought and always searching for the secret.

I believe that as human beings our journey should be a journey of knowledge and self growth, if you don’t know something then learn it. More so today because there is so much information out there.

ALL through my school years i was stupid, I was dumb and I would get no where in life. That was the school education system that told me that almost daily. Then at home there was no inspiration for me, life was not about being better than my parents it was about being unemployed and being angry because it was everyone else fault.

When I was thinking about my future i was 12, we were picking the subjects we wanted to do at secondary school so that we could get a job when we were 16. Everything was written down in the booklet, it was A to Z with the subjects you needed to do to get into that Job.

There were lists and lists, Dr, Lawyer, Fireman, Teacher, Police the list went on and on. Most of my prejudice was not through my own experience but through my Parents and the people around them. Looking through the list there was no hope for me. That night at home i was watching the news and there was another IRA Attack, the soldiers were there in their Wagons and doing what they could.

That was when it hit me. A Soldier. I didn’t know any, I don’t have any relatives who are or was. I excitedly told my dad about my choice and his response was

“No son of mine will ever join the fucking Army” and shut me down instantly. WOW, I couldn’t even get my future right. Over the years I took beatings, I got shouted at, I got verbally and physically abused, I started to go a bit off the rails with Alcohol and getting into trouble. Then when I was 17 the Army came up in conversation with a friend. We encouraged each other and we both signed up. He joined the Royal Artillery (Paul Romanes from Bo’ness) and I joined the Royal Signals.

Right up until Jan 2nd 1995 my life was a put down, it was a struggle, my thought process, my belief in myself and what i can do or even could do was always a struggle. In life up until that point, no matter how good I did for myself or anyone around me, I felt like i didn’t deserve it because I was too stupid to do it and get it done.

This post isn’t supposed to be about me and my life story, its supposed to be about the way that i have taken control of my brain, I have reprogrammed my computer in my head but to show how I have done this, I’m needing to explain how I got to where I was through the experience and actions I have taken in my life.

If I just wrote a post and said, “Buy This” its good, I wouldn’t feel comfortable because there isn’t information there from me based around why it’s good and why I recommend it.

  1. Have you ever smelled fresh cookies, and instantly thought of something that happened in your childhood.
  2. Or heard an old song on the radio and thought of a person that has long gone.
  3. Even smells can trigger because certain smells release chemicals that make us relax… or cringe. Certain sounds spark feelings of contentment…or fear…

If I listen to Celine Dion “Think Twice” I can travel back in time in my head to Krefeld in Germany to just after Jan 2nd 1995 and put myself back into that mind frame again, how I felt, how I wanted to die, how i wanted to punish myself, I can make that memory engulf me, If I listen to happy hard core i can put myself back to basic training in 1992, going to Richmond and all the stupid things I did in basic Training and Trade Training, if I hear the song 99 Red Ballons, I am in Jimmy’s in Catterick up in 8 Sigs, dancing with a few SAS lads and running on the spot as it gets faster and faster lol.

Hadaway “What is Love” takes me to the Marley in JHQ. It also triggers lots of other songs and memories associated to around that time, things i said, people i was with, things i did, and regrets that i didn’t do. If I smell apples, or apple juice it reminds me of Apfelkorn and I can get the feeling of being drunk from it, even though i stopped drinking way back in 2000 lol.

To me the brain is a very powerful machine. When I get old, as long as I have music from my past, I can time travel anywhere and not worry about where I am or what my body is going through.

If we can alter the program then we can change, we can make big changes in our life. Things that we “THOUGHT” we couldn’t do, we could make more possible, or easier to handle, or complete.

One fascination that has got me that I came across is cognitive behavioral therapy which is a type of psychotherapy in which negative patterns of thought about the self and the world are challenged in order to alter unwanted behavior patterns or treat mood disorders such as depression.. Most doctors jump on the medication side of it first but to be honest I don’t want medication, i want to help me not just block it out.

This journey is about me changing the way I feel about my past so that I don’t have the bad thoughts or memories, and then using a system like “The Secret Brain System” to change myself so that I can adapt to and create my own future.

IF I have learned anything it’s that my past does not reflect my future. I am not defined by my past.

When we drove into the street where we live now, I had to rush the wife through looking at the house because we didn’t fit in here. It was too posh. I didn’t have the enjoyment or excitement she had because of the way I thought. I’m ashamed of myself for having that thought, I do deserve to live here, I do deserve everything I have in my life. If I want it I get it.

The Secret Brain System” makes use of a special technique revolving around the brain waves. The mechanism is called binaural frequency, or also known as brainwave entertainment technology. To be honest,I heard about this way back Germany and it did actually sound a bit hocus pocus at the time. Then again a 486DX was a top of the range desktop computer back then lol.

It works by stimulating the brain waves. The brain is made up of billions of neurons and they all communicate through electrical impulses. It is this electrical activity that makes up the various brain waves, and that is where the entertainment comes in, to stimulate the specific mental state.

You know from what I have said that you can put yourself into a mental state, imagine changing that mental state so it was  no longer dragging you down, but it gave you energy and encouraged you further in life than you could ever imagine.

So let me introduce you to “The Secret Brain System” . An all-rounded collection of 10 audios, the package is aimed at increasing the capability of the brain functions.

How does it work?

Well, the audios work by reprogramming the specific type of brain waves. Because of this reprogramming, the brain is able to increase its focus, create a heightened level of creativity, enhance the mood and accelerate the mental learning speed and capacity and so on.

In Jan 2nd 1995 I attempted suicide. I had over 190  co-codamol, and a bottle of Vodka. I was told there was 10 milligrams in my body and that I should have died, however since i had nausea, paleness, vomiting symptoms that probably helped, they also said the reason i didn’t was because of my tolerance level. Unknowingly i was classed as a Heavy Drinker, however i was a Soldier in the British Army and I was a light weight compared to others.

I spent 6 months in Hospital on all sorts of Medication. As I look back now and I look honestly at the reasons why I did it, I can understand myself better.

The real reason was my self confidence, was the way i thought of myself, the way I acted, and really at the end of it all, who i was.

In the time when I was in the Hospital, it was 24/7 therapy. I quickly realised that I hated who I was and I didn’t want to be me anymore. So I was struggling with me and I couldn’t ever get away from me. I had to find a way through this, or die.

Everybody had known me as Jim, however my birth certificate is in James. I had never used James before, never been called it, was never known by it, so that looked to me to be a clean slate.

I had many sessions with the therapist, and slowly I came to accept James. They actually diagnosed me with schizophrenic because i separated both of them and spoke about Jim and James lol. Honestly, it was the best way that I could distance myself.

To be honest there was nothing in my past holding me there. No one cared about what i was doing or how I was doing it. Me joining the Army was ALL ME. No one else, no outside influences, no parental guidance.

So with this transformation I had in myself, I had a new life to create, one that I could create to my own desire. I knew I was an asshole, I probably still am, but I had to learn to think before I spoke, sometimes that was really hard but I learned to think what i was going to say nano seconds before I said it so that I could make sure it wasn’t a dick answer.

The BIGGEST Problem that has plagued me is memories, you can change but you cannot forget. Memories hurt, smells hurt, certain sayings sound familiar and they hurt, someones look seems familiar and memories come back. I wanted more control over that, i wanted to change how it made me feel.

At the time the only solution I could find was Hypnosis. I bought them all, self hypnosis tapes, then cd’s then mp3’s lol that just shows you how many over time. I listened to and still do Tony Robbins and similar inspirational people. However it wasn’t far enough for me.

In Germany we went to one of the American PX’s, and I came across a Medical Magazine, it was talking about your brain as a computer, if you change the program you can change the outcome.

THAT FASCINATED me because I understand computers and what they can do. Imagine your brain as a computer that could be reprogrammed. How cool would that be. That took me on a detour into America in the 1960’s where a lot of the information stemmed from, then that took me into the British Army and WW2 and how they thought the same way.

Before we moved down to the Isle of Wight I used to have a cage with Bengalese Finches. I loved these little birds, they were small, very loud and very sociable. However it was unfair to move them all the way down here to the island with possibly no space to keep them, so we sold them. It was always my intention to get them again, however time, kids, moving house again just took over.

Everytime I go to the pet shop I would go and have a look and see what they had, not to buy but just to look at them. I spoke on many occasions about getting something built outdoors so that I could really have a good setup for them but to be honest I have too many pets around the house.

  • 1 Dog
  • 2 Cats
  • 1 Guinea Pig
  • 1 Hamster
  • Fish Tank

It doesn't matter what the kids say to get the pets, at the end of the day it's always me that has to clean up and look after them generally. So adding birds to my collection along with 5 kids is a NO GO Area for me.

Then Fathers Day came and what did I get...2 Cockatiels. The big huff and the thought of two more pets whilst pretending to be really happy about it just weighed down on me lol.

The cage when we got it, yeah it looked good, but watching the birds and chatting to them all the time you can tell they were in a bad mood, they were protective of their space, then I read some details and started to work out "How They Worked" and how I could make their lives better with me.

I have learned a great deal, and I always reference the site in what I am doing. So I went Bird Cageand bought them their own cage, I bought them BIGGER and Wider."Bird Cage from Amazon".. the one I bought is 66 x 66 x 155 cm (WxDxH)  So it's quite tall and lots of space.

Now instead of the Cockatiels  being forced to live with each other they have their own space. Actually they have too much space now, so a friend of my wife had two Quails that are birds that who keep to the bottom of the cage, they "TRY" and keep it tidy by eating what the Cockatiels drop at the bottom, well she wanted them gone, so I ended up with them.

These are brilliant little  pheasant from the family Phasianidae. They are really fast and really friendly as well. I now have 4 birds in the cage and they all live and work together. Feeding time is great with them all, I feed the quails keeping everything low and I feed the Cockatiels keeping everything mid height so that there is plenty of freedom higher up. Actually would you like to see a video I did of them?

Not bad, I'm still learning them, I'm still interacting all the time with them. It's great when everyone is watching the television and I start to whistle, all the birds respond and make lots of noise just to annoy the tv viewing pleasure of others lol.

The Grey one I call Mr Grayson, the Yellow one is called Poppit, I haven't name the quails purely because they aren't brave enough to come to me yet. They do have their unique looks, and one of them does like to come up to the bars, he raises his head up and down looking over, he seems to be the brave one, where as the other one will run like mad behind the box we put in there to give them protection if they needed it. I have heard Mr Grayson being picked on when he does venture down to the food on the floor lol. The quails take no prisoners lol.

I lay on the sofa at night, the light from the fish tank gives the birds good light so I can just sit and watch the birds, they do their thing and they do come to the front of the cage a lot, they make their noises and if I engage with them they respond back. As much as Poppit doesn't go down to the ground, I have opened up the cage and she is the first one to come to the door, she is the braver one with the door open where as Mr Grayson is the brave one with it close. He likes to get close and shout at you.

 

THANK GOD my SlimRoast Coffee came. I was going NUTS without it. I actually thought whilst drinking it that it probably wasn't working for me.

Well I had 10 days off because I ran out of product and it allowed me to see the both sides of me on and off coffee.

On the coffee, my mood is better, I'm a bit more upfront and I appear to be LOUD lol. I have an abundance of energy, not happy overly done energy, just the ability to get off my butt and actually take charge for a change.

Not on the Coffee I really seen the difference, so did my wife and kids. My mood was a bit darker, my emotions were a bit all over the place, I could feel myself start to shut the outside out and withdraw back in to myself, I was "Snacking" more, even when my sugar level was high and I wasn't even hungry.

My Energy levels were getting depleted faster than the last few months.

I DO NOT Like who I am, or better still who I have become. Over the years I have let everything engulf me and take over. Politics, Memories, Thoughts, Smells, Music, People, The Kids School, everything that could get me I let it get me.

It is not a nice place to be, there is no break from it, it doesn't stop. Sometimes when I slept, in my dream I could be on a High but then I wake up and it's not the reality I was in a few minutes ago and it would bring me to the ground in a heart beat. Other times, I was so down in my dreams when I woke up, I couldn't come up because it made me so down, it would just carry on, sleeping or awake made no difference.

The ONLY Difference is - Reality. In the real world people couldn't understand what was going on with me because what happened only happened when I was sleeping, so it was kinda hard to try and explain it.

I have tracked my SlimRoast coffee everyday since I ordered it from Valentus. It was in London on Friday and on my table by Monday Morning. Now that is good going considering I live on the Isle of Wight.

Let me first say this, You cannot reverse Type 1 Diabetes. However you can get better control of it and lead a better life.

Diabetes has controlled me for over 20 years now. I became a Type 1 Diabetic in Dec 1995. It ended my Army Career, It lost me a few Employments, it stopped me getting Jobs I went after.

To say I hate my diabetes is an understatement. It has made me crazy depressed, it has made me a recluse, it has made me a prisoner of my own creation, it's torn me apart.

I made some money selling a website  a few years back and I was after a new car. The wife had seen a Mitsubishi FTO, but honestly I didn't like them and the price was too high. I was looking around ebay as you do and I seen a car for sale. A Toyota MR2 in white, nice looking sports car, and it had a Mitsubishi FTO Sports Kit with it, so you could make it look like an FTO. I left the page up because I was watching it, not really looking to buy it, just wanted to see what it went for, when I went to bed, I left the wife up as she was on the computer and when I woke up in the morning, the money I made from selling the site, she bought the Toyota MR2 lol.

I was annoyed but also excited, I got it all fixed and put back on the road, yes it was a NON Runner, but honestly it wasn't practical, at the time I had 3 kids and the wife, and it was only a 2 seater car, so I got rid of it. However it did spike my interest on the FTO.

Skip a few years and back on ebay I found one for sale, I won the auction and went over to the main land to get it. I didn't realise it would be a NON Runner, e.g the battery had a charge but the Alternator was dead. So when I got it back on to the island the car died.

I took the opportunity of it not working to replace the Alternator, the battery terminals, new suspension, new tyres, brakes, pads, poly bushes, lower springs, and a whole lot of other things. After a good month or so of owning it, the FTO was on the road.

I drove it around for a few months and the Torque went, so back to the garage and I got it all replaced and fixed, back on the road again and my Diabetes caused me hell. I had to stop driving the FTO. We bought it in Feb 2010. I Sorned it and MOT'd it each year but I was still too ill, too sore, too broken to drive it because of my diabetes.

I've actually sold the car, but when i took it round to wash and clean it, I couldn't sell it, not the fact that the wife was crying, but it also looked really good.and there was nothing wrong with it. Considering all the work i paid into it, i know we wont get back, but it makes it a car that will last a life time.

I found SlimRoast coffee about 3 months ago and every day I am changing, my body is getting better, stronger, blood is giving great results SO out of curiosity I got an insurance quote on it. They said £14 PER MONTH Fully Comp.

I was in shock and decide to take the insurance out there and then lol. So it now is an incentive to put it on the road. Start to use it and get it out there again.

Let me show you my car, the black one is the Family one, that is a SSangYong Rodius.

The ONLY Reason I am able to think about keeping the car and putting it to use again is because I am feeling better, my diabetes is showing better results.

I am NOT a Doctor, I'm not medically trained. I am a Type 1 Diabetic and my readings have been brilliant since starting this. I have new energy, a new lease of life and a new purpose now.

If it were not for the SlimRoast Coffee from Valentus, My life was on a decline and I had accepted that I would die. Now the possibilities are endless with it and I have a new lease that I am going to put to full use.

I would love for you to check out Valentus and see if it could change your life.

Join Our Team

For lots of us, Christmas is a very stressfull time. Infact it's right up there with Major Life Events like Moving House or Changing Profession. Christmas is a very unique timie of year, some people spend all year planning it, some people do it mid year, most of us though we do it just before Christmas and promise ourselves we will do it sooner.....

The endless planning that is going on for that ONE Day, the trailling around shop after shop not to mention the pre pre pre cooking preperations, who likes what, who doesn't like, who eats that with that, it is immensely tiring and stressful to an already overloaded system.  To those folk already suffering from stress, Christmas can turn out to be the last straw, pushing them over the edge and into full-scale meltdown.

I drink coffee, not just any coffee though. I drink SlimRoast Coffee from Valentus. It really has mellowed me out and I can take things easier in my stride. Actually I ran out and my wife noticed the difference in me. She explained to me in very clear slow detail.

Order the damn Coffee or sign the divorce papers... hmm I did ponder it however my coffee arrived today lol.

So how do you "TRY" and help reduce your stress levels and stop you EXPLODING. In order to prevent this happening, you need to set up strategies well in advance of the festive season that will enable you to cope.

First and most important thing is to plan for everything while remaining flexible with your arrangements.  This may sound contradictory but it really helps to have set up structures such as present buying lists, food shopping lists and a rough timetable of events while also bearing in mind that any and all of these can be adapted or changed.  Keeping a flexible mindset reduces stress and anxiety and encourages you to let things flow over you rather than fight inevitable obstacles and changes to plans.

I have 5 kids so I have 5 lists. I have what they like and don't like. I have their clothes sizes, shoe sizes, colors they love and colors they wouldn't be seen dead in. I have their hobbies, current hobbies because they change so fast. I have their best friends, male or female.

This ties up neatly with my other top Christmas stress busting tip which is to keep your expectations at a realistic level. All too often, we expect everything to be perfect at Christmas time.  Why? Because the media bombards us with images telling us that is how it is meant to be.  The trouble is that nothing is ever perfect and that is where problems arise.  We place too much of a burden of expectation on ourselves and, when we fail to match up to those expectations, we become stressed.

Tell yourself firmly that all you can do is your best.  The other key point is to understand that we can only control our own behavior and not that of other people.  While you can try your utmost, those around you might not be so accommodating.  Family squabbles, aggravating relatives and friends can all conspire to ruin Christmas if you let it.  By adopting the right attitude, however, you can ensure that none of these situations stress you out.

The best way to do this is to remain detached from other people’s efforts to be disruptive, (KIDS Leave them with someone so you don't get bombarded).  Again, simply let things flow over you and refuse to react.  By not reacting you are showing the person concerned that their behavior does not have the desired impact upon you.  Keep telling yourself that this is their problem and not yours and you will find it far easier to remain stress free.

Another great Christmas stress busting tip is to make sure you take enough time out for yourself, preferably on a daily basis.  This can be something as simple as soaking in a hot tub or taking a walk or you can indulge yourself with a seasonal treat such as a massage or manicure.  When it all seems overwhelming and you feel stress symptoms coming on then the only thing to do is retreat in this way.  Remove yourself from the source of stress and you will be able to come back refreshed and able to enjoy all the joys of the holiday season.  Which, after all, is what Christmas is all about!

Darlin' forever, forever, you can break my heart, forever
If you want to, I'll play the part of a fool, just to be with you forever

Darlin' forever, forever, you can taunt me names
Take my love for granted, but I'll always be just a fool
If I, if I could be with you

I'll be your slave for the rest of, of my days
Love you more in so, so many ways, just to be with you
Thrills me through and through

And darlin' forever, forever, you can taunt me names
Take my love for granted, but I'll always be just a fool
If I, if I could be with you

Darlin' forever, forever, no matter what you say I do
I'll always
