Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
2. Sentences are made up of various combinations of
two types of clauses:
Independent
Dependent
3. Independent Clauses can stand alone. These
contain a subject and a predicate.

Dependent clauses add additional information to
independent clauses, but they are not necessary to
form a complete thought.
