Did you know you already possess a powerful tracking system that will guide you to all the things you really want?
It’s your Reticular Activating System or RAS for short.
The RAS is an automatic mechanism inside your brain that serves as a filter between your conscious and subconscious mind bringing relevant information to your attention and it plays a vital role in your ability to achieve goals.
It’s like wearing golf ball finder glasses. When golfers lose their golf ball in the underbrush, the technology of these cool glasses eliminates the light from background objects and makes the golf ball itself stand out. The relevant information is the golf ball, the golf ball finder glasses is your RAS.
And it gets way more exciting…
What’s’ really cool about your RAS is that you can deliberately get it working for you by choosing the exact messages you send from your conscious mind. The #1 way to do this is to get crystal clear about your goals – so clear that you can see them, feel them, taste them.
You’ve likely heard dozens of experts tell you how important it is to get clear and focused about your goals. Many of them probably even shared HOW to do it. Now you know WHY clarity is so darned important!
And it gets even better…
Your RAS cannot tell the difference between what is “real” and what is “imagined”. This makes me think of Olympic athletes (see… there’s MY reticular activating system at work right now being this is the last week of the Winter Olympics). Many professional athletes use visualization techniques to practice and perfect their performances before actually doing it. They know how to get their RAS working for them.
So are you ready to get your RAS working for you?
The first step is to gain crystal clarity about what you REALLY want so that you have very specific vision of your goal in your conscious mind. Your RAS will then begin to filter all relevant information and bring that to your attention.
Opportunities and resources will begin to emerge – almost out of thin air. The reality is that your RAS is making you aware of everything that is relevant to achieving your goal.
If you want a jump start at getting clear about what you really want, take a look at the six questions every woman in business online must answer. Once you’re crystal clear about what you really want, the key is to regularly direct your attention to your vision of success and stay mindful of your goals to get your RAS working for you in new and powerful ways.








I just talked about the RAS on my last radio show! It was all about getting that “Million Dollar Mindset” in order so that you can tune yourself into success!
Once again, great blog! Love it!

Well… great minds think alike for sure! I talked about the RAS on an interview for the Just Launch It event last week and I’ve always LOVED the topic. It reminds me of the “Captain and the Crew” analogy I learned through one of my fave books called the Millionaire Mindset by Gerry Robert. If my memory serves me correctly Gerry has been greatly influenced by Bob Proctor which is probably why I love his work so much. I’ll have to write another post about it. ~ Gina xo
