What are the steps for becoming a CRNA?

How does one go about a complete mental transformation? What technical steps & resources would one need to undergo in order to change the way their mind operates into becoming a smart, focused individual?

  • I want to change things. I've read way too many Self-improvement books, yet the technical steps to "rewire my brain" are ever elusive Soft spoken, incredibly nice, non-confident, inconsistent, impatient, spotty memory and self-defeating are just some of the traits I identify with. When encountering a difficult situation, I shut down. I asked myself "why" and the core of the issue seems to stem from an inadequate level of memory/learning knowledge to learn "it" all, internalize the details, and be proficient at it. TL;DR I see examples of peers around me achieving great things, and as much as I want to believe "we are all cut from the same cloth, just woven differently", what technical steps can I take if I don't think I'm biologically, or neurologically gifted enough to achieve such feats?What first steps would one need to do in order to change the way their mind operates? What books to read? What nutrition to change? This isn't just about thinking positively anymore; it's about creating new neural pathways in the brain with changes everyday to becoming a smart focused, individual. You know those individuals who talk casually about "starting a successful business or "pursuing a PH.D" because it's in their capacity? What about those of us who doubt that it could even happen because of our own self awareness? How does that tie into things? Well, I'm lucky to be surrounded with many hard working peers who have achieved sole proprietorships, 4.0 GPAS in professional programs, travel to conferences, and are living some great lives. So I asked myself: If I know individuals who are in professional programs (dentistry, engineering) and achieve great marks, yet also run sole proprietorships on their own, have social circles, travel to conferences to do talks and even have a romantic relationship, why can't I? Sadly, I am not a 4.0 student, and it takes me hours upon hours of studying to get the marks I do. Along with those less than ideal traits described in the first paragraph, I'm constantly dealing with the frustration that I'll never achieve those goals. I don't believe there is one skill that I excel at, where someone would say "hey, you know how to do this, you'll be our go-to guy". It might be normal to not "remember everything", but it's definitely a problem when, for example, you know a general sense of things but can't remember the details. I'm not unlike many others who reach a point of confusion and combing resources for answers. Those who fear homelessness, or even worse, being in a monotonous low-income job where passion won't be attained, living a low-income life because of the inadequacy we feel of our own skills. So I want to change things: to become an individual that says: Hey, I want to start X business, yet learn and internalize details such as trademarks, patents, licensing, and the idea/product of a business. I use business as an example, but you get the picture. I would really enjoy it if I could exclaim that I snapped, my mind went into full 120% gear, and 100% determination into become a human being with laser focused vision on the path to success.

  • Answer:

    You can have control on your mind by thinking of counter things. Like for eg. You like video games a lot although you know its wasting your time still your mind can't resist it...just for complete few days just put it somewhere where its hard to go and think a lot about its negatives search for alternatives. After few days u sure will overcome.

I second the suggestion about the Landmark courses, although I prefer the PSI Seminars approach. They have many similarities, but I just found the PSI approach a bit more playful and not quite so cerebral. You are SO right -- books turn quickly from self-help into SHELF help, because they don't help you change anything but the surface of your conscious mind. True change comes at a much deeper level, so you need transformation. This happens by going through ACTUAL EXPERIENCES. Seminars like Landmark or PSI will create experiences that challenge you in unforgettable ways, and give you a support network of fellow grads who are all working on themselves at a MUCH higher degree than most. You can find either of those seminar companies with a simple google search for PSI, Landmark, Personal Growth Seminar, Brian Klemmer and associates, on and on. I wish you well! You have a huge amount of potential and gifts you haven't realized yet. Don't wait until you're on your deathbed to get busy.

This is going to seem unrelated but first forget all your worries and nervousness.  Next consider that to rewire your brain you're going to have to do some fairly unordinary things. To figure out how to get there learn to meditate and do it everyday.  You'll become more focused and it will give you insight to yourself.
