SANTA ROSA,


CA. ~ We know schools teach us what to think but not how our amaz- ing brains actually work.


The other


wonderful empow- erment tool schools fail to impart is how to talk to our brain. We are find- ing that your brain is very similar to a


well trained dog. If you speak to it nicely and respectfully, your brain will listen to you. If you speak to it gruffly, or disrespect- fully it will listen to you. In either case, you will reap the results.


So here is a basic lesson in talking to your brain.


1. Always speak nicely to your brain, complement it on its suc- cesses and ignore its failings. 2. Always tell your brain what your WANT it to do (“fetch”).


Here is a more detailed les- son on how to speak to your brain for bad results:


1. “Bad dog” No encouragement for what the brain could do. 2. “Get down” Brain’s creative


and I don’t want to be creative.


3. “Play dead” Anytime you say “I can’t remember.” 4. “Sit” Brain wants to make thousands of connections, we say no. 5.


“Stay” Brain


wants to explore, we say straight and nar- row.


Here is a more detailed lesson on how to speak to your brain for great results: 1. “Good dog!”


porarily eludes you, ask your brain politely to get it. Some would say “Stop kveching and start fetching.” And, of course 5. “Drop it” to free yourself of old, useless


or worrisome


thoughts. So here’s Don.

2. “Quessst {kissing sound}, come here boy (or girl)” Ask your brain to come closer to your total being: think what I want to think, connect how I want: observe and be present. 3. “Speak” Whenever your have a problem, ask your right brain to collaborate with your left and find a solution, then tell you. It will! 4. “Fetch”

ing the Memory Back Guarantee seminars in Healdsburg for a couple of weeks. He liked the idea of saying “Fetch” whenever he wanted to remember some- thing. His friends thought him a little off, but were amazed by how much he could remember. He would stop mid sentence and say,” I know this name and it will come to me in a minute, ‘Fetch’. He reported that his brain was increasingly cooperative and would bring him information faster and faster the more he spoke kindly and affirmatively.


If you insist on being more “nor- mal” sounding, scratch your left temple and say, “I’ll think of it in a second.” And you will.

I asked what his job title is for Andy's and said he doesn't have one, and that he comes in and helps run the market for Andy himself who is now in his late 70's. But based on how the business seems to run, Dee does an awesome job on every front of the business. Andy is known locally to be

a very generous person when it comes to helping people and making donations to the local schools because he believes in education 100%.


Andy insists that his staff


take care of the local people and customers as well as the community he lives in. Dee's philosophy is that he treats customers as he wants to be treated and also his employees. His employees are relaxed and they love to work with the market. When one of the staff asks how their day was, they're not just asking 'how's you day' because they have to, they really mean it. Dee knows that that is why they are successful to this day. With over 50 years in busi-


ness they are still thriving and going strong.


Andy's Produce Market is located in Sebastopol at 1691 N. Gravenstein Hwy and is open seven days a week!
