Lake Chabot Challenge
Sunday, January 8, 2006
9 a.m.
Join the Golden Bay Runners for our annual January fun run at Lake Chabot Regional Park in Castro Valley. No entry fee, no shirts, no water stops, no bibs, no timing (but an abundance of good times), and plenty of challenge. Run all or part of our famous Trail Challenge Half Marathon course - you can choose the route and distance if ours doesn't appeal to you. Lake Chabot offers a wide variety of choices. Expect cold, mud, possible rain, a steep hill or two and some of the finest downhill views in the East Bay. And all this is followed by our epic potluck breakfast, designed to drive winter away. Just bring a dish or drinks to share and you're in! We meet near the boathouse on the Lake Chabot marina - look for a group of runners (and walkers) ready to defy the elements or follow the aroma of hot chocolate. We start precisely at 9 a.m. After all, we are in a hurry to get to the breakfast.
For more information, call Michael Raffee (408) 209-8680 or Will and Julie Uher (510) 278-0451
Rain only encourages, never cancels!

When we are born our brains are like empty computers waiting to be fed information. As we grow our peers act as our programmers, they supply us with the knowledge which we channel through the conscious mind into the subconscious (our hard drive). The subconscious mind is the biggest hard drive ever developed - it stores everything we come in contact with and by no means is all of this information of a positive nature.
All that we have heard, touched, smelt, tasted and seen are stored in the recesses of our minds. The subconscious mind holds on to this information until we need to recall it. For example when you were young your curiosity lead you to investigate your surroundings. When you approached a substance that was dangerous, such as fire, your parents or guardians would most likely have rebuked or scolded you if you ventured too near the flame. Perhaps you may even recall an incident when you were physically burned. Your subconscious mind then began to relate scolding (or pain) with the intense heat of the fire and would therefore feed the feelings of the scolding incident back to you whenever you got too close to fire again, thus acting as an early warning system.
This is the mechanism used by our brains to learn. It is also the same method employed by the mind in every situation. The subconscious mind has a tendency to emulate what it sees - it tends to replicate its environment. This is why so many people find themselves in similar relationships and situations that they saw their parents in while they were growing up. Most people also hold very strongly or similar views of their parents.
Think of a time when you gave yourself praise. What words did you use? Do you use the same words that your parents or peers used when they were praising you? The same is applicable when you scold yourself.
Watch your internal dialogue. Look at it closely. It takes diligence to change the way you think. When you notice yourself thinking a negative chose to think the opposite. This way you neutralise the negative thought. Now the think the positive thought again! You have just reversed the negative thinking in that moment and remember you only have this moment. No other time exists!
Daydream about what might be. Imagine things they way you wish them to be. If you catch yourself thinking "this is just a daydream - a fantasy" then stop! Think the opposite. It is not a daydream it is your reality. Now think it again.
By doing this simple procedure you will begin to retrain your subconscious mind to think positively and you will ultimately begin to consciously create a life that dreams are made of! personal development plan
