“This project,” they wrote, “provides an exciting opportunity to see if our findings are borne out in a very different and challenging setting… [It] provides an excellent opportunity to explore team working in extreme conditions and impact of Emotional Intelligence and other personality factors.”

After race, one of participants, Norwich Union’s Annabel Pearson said, “Someone asked me this morning whether they thought that there would ever be a day go by when I didn’t think about something on this race. Possibly not.” It lasts for 10 months, by way.

“I have learnt so much. I have circumnavigated world – something I only ever dreamed about,” added Pearson. “Emails have made life bearable in these conditions and is a vital ingredient in keeping morale high on boat.”

Spirit of Hong Kong’s Paul Lynch concurred. “A lot of energy comes from outside boat from emails like [his nephew] Will’s.”

What did researchers find? I’m still trying to find out myself. But isn’t it interesting that “soft” skills were considered important to investigate in such a presumably physical endurance test? And that participants mentioned – of all things – emails from home?

A stuck elevator attitude will resist feeble attempts to change; because it has too. It has been programmed with it's beliefs and conclusions through many years of suggestions and words, of wrong kind, and it's not going to let some one time half hearted effort undo all crud it holds to be true. It'll just make you think you never were sharpest tool in shed anyway.

Last But Not Least!

Our attitudes are us. But, they can be changed. In fact, in some instances that we find ourselves in, they are only thing we can change. And, we always have power to choose attitude we will exhibit, but not always easy.

To display an attitude, that is not part of our everyday lifestyle causes a certain amount of discomfort. It's strange, it doesn't feel right, and that's where resistance comes from. It is much easier to go with flow and continue paddling down same ole dirty creek of familiar areas.

But, there comes a time when that stuck elevator attitude is recognized for what it is and we decide to change it. Now comes fun. No big secret here. We can fix our attitude with same tools that we fouled thing up: Suggestions and words. I have proven through many coaching sessions with students that any person can dramatically change any attitude in 30 days with some simple techniques.

I don't care how ingrained or how long beliefs have been whatever they are. You can change them with 30 days of determination and willingness. If you are willing and faithful, you will succeed. Here is your exercise.

You can do this mentally or audibly; I do both. Remember, words and suggestions that we make to ourselves, is what forms our attitudes. Say this audibly when you can and mentally if you can't. I Feel Healthy, I Feel Wealthy, I Feel Terrific!

Put emphasis on each of key words in phrases. Do this for 30 days and you will notice a remarkable change in your happiness, your joy, and peace of mind.

Stronger Than A Garlic Milkshake!

If you're doing this mentally, close your eyes and see each of words entering your mind and flowing down through your body. The amazing thing about this, if you're doing it way I suggest, you will feel electricity going through your body when you get to word "Terrific"!

Here's what is happening. Your subconscious is being reprogrammed and attitudes are being changed. Believe me; our minds have an unquenchable thirst and hunger for that word "Terrific" If you have never told yourself, on a regular basis, that you are terrific you are missing one of most amazing transformations that can take place inside your mind.

Stick To It Like Glue!

Caution: Don't do this ten times and then expect to come busting out of a phone booth with a superman cape on. If you expect that you're just going to be spitting in wind.

You have spent years feeding your attitude with crud and just saying this ten times and stopping is not going to reverse your polarity. But, with determination and willingness, you will completely change your can't do attitude in thirty days. And then, new attitude will become a lifestyle.
