In this week's talk, Dr. Patrick focuses on Zen Buddhist practices from the
books [_The Practicing Mind_ by Thomas M.
Sterner](http://www.thepracticingmind.com/) and [_Breaking the Habit of Being
Yourself_ by Dr. Joe
Dispenza](http://www.drjoedispenza.com/index.php?page_id=Breaking_the_Habit).
The four "S" words are: Simplify, Small, Short, and Slow.
Dr. Joe outlines the ideas that make up our personal realities: Thoughts,
choices, behaviours, experiences, emotions, and then the same thoughts. This
is a cycle that creates our personality and ultimately our personal reality.
These are the things that fire and wire up in our brain. It's all based on
choice---our chosen behaviours and what we choose to dwell upon.
Dr. Joe's recipe for a new personal reality is meditation, intention,
sponsoring thoughts, creating a plan, recording our successes, and queuing our
life.
