Quote: "You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you".

— Dan Millman is an American author and lecturer in the personal development field.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 Teachers have more anxiety than ever during the current zombie pandemic which started Oct 2019. These challenging times are making it difficult because the world around us has forced educators to take a hard look at their lives and their careers.

432hz music could help with anxiety, but most people grew up with rebellious sounds and have forgotten the days of LOVE, like the Barry White era LOVE. So, if your being consumed by anxiety, listen to your favorite music. Focus on the lyrics in the music and stay with it. You will soon start to feel your anxiety fade away.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 Also, on a daily basis, 30 minutes before going to sleep and upon waking up each morning, speak positive affirmations to yourself in a normal tone. Imagine your day as a positive one and place those images front and center. Tell yourself want you will achieve and how you're going to do it. Give yourself a positive battle plan for the day. These positive images are a powerful way to manifest your daily success.

Remember life get's challenging daily from putting on socks to stepping on dog doo doo. So don't allow the days annoyances frazzle you. You can always confide in someone you trust to talk about what you're feeling. You also are your own best friend in case you can't find someone to share your thoughts with. So give yourself an uplifting talk. Learning to let it go will be a lot better long term.

Quote: "A rational man is guided by his thinking - by a process of Reason,  not by his feelings and desires". 

- Ayn Rand - was a Russian-American writer and philosopher.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 As I continue to read the Human Mind eBook, I find it amazing how as an Empowerment Thinking Life Coach, I too fall into patterns of irrationality which I need to check frequently. Remember it is not our fault that we have negative thoughts. The proof is in the air, over time we live with a constant bombardment of CRAP. 

Seriously folks, we have to fight through layers of crap between, what we learned as kids, as teens, as adults. We are programmed to listen to a less favorable spectrum of lies, bad news, others hurt feelings etc. We basically become numb to the reality that life is better than the one we actually are living.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 It’s common to hear people talk about negative and positive emotions. What most people are referring to is the fact that some emotions, such as happiness and excitement, are pleasant and others, like anger and sadness, are unpleasant.

The problem arises when these different emotions are labelled good and bad. While happiness may feel good and sadness may feel bad, no emotions are entirely good or bad. If a person feels angry at themselves when they realize they did not take an opportunity they had been offered, is this bad?

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 Negative emotions may be unpleasant, but they are not bad, and labelling them that way will cause us to:

• Avoid situations that would elicit them

• Repress them when they do occur

• Judge ourselves or others for experiencing them

So, because emotions are not good or bad, it is more helpful to look at emotions as either healthy or unhealthy.

Quote: “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.”

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 The science of why people Think, Feel and Act is fascinating once you understand how we do it. I speak a lot about the mindset because your greatest GOD GIVEN asset is your BRAIN.

Empowerment thinking is based on our thoughts and how we create our emotions and influence our own behavior. Thoughts, emotions and behaviors are a trio of playmates in one's mind and influence each other. The area where we have the most power is your thoughts because they are almost always the foundation of our emotions and the behaviors. 

Here's the good news, why empowerment thinking is so powerful. We can learn to have greater control over our thoughts which results in greater control over our emotions and our behaviors.

How cool is that?

Quote: "Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change".

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 On the previous post I spoke about the difference between a FIXED Mindset vs a GROWTH Mindset. I spoke about the 1st step to healing those negative thoughts about feeling low self-esteem, doubt, fear, hopelessness, and anything else the mind can think of. The first step to developing a growth mindset is ...

called AWARENESS!

In today's post I want to continue sharing with you what I'm reading and learning from the Human Mind Ebook. Let's give your inner fixed mindset persona a name. 

I will also take you through Step 2: Perspective and Step 3: Action. 

So let's talk about AWARENESS and the inner-self talk people have with themselves that causes fixed mindset triggers. 

Everyone has an inner voice, which acts like our personal critic, doubter and even our personal hater. You've heard the saying: we're our own worst enemy! Wow those words suck and we truly start to believe them. That is our fixed mindset persona and we can hear ourselves having negative self-talk like this ... 

• I will probably fail.

• I can’t do this.

• I don’t want to risk it.

• I’m not good enough.

• I should just quit.

• It’s not my fault.

• This makes me uncomfortable, I’m not doing it.

• Why try if it won’t change anything?

Can you say what your inner talk sounds like?

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 So I've been reading an amazing book called Human Mind eBook which written by an amazing Life Coach. As I continue to learn how to serve educators and ordinary people for their success, I gain value with the extraordinary information which just about everyone in the world suffers from. 

The fact is that, it is scientifically proven that 90% or better of humanity is just irrational and lives a B.S. (Belief System) which causes them limitations to succeed in all areas of their personal lives. Many call it mental illness, when in fact they should call it irrational thinking. Allow me to share with you the chapter on which the basis of your B.S. (Belief System) exists. Remember, this is about your most powerful God given asset, your brain.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 Growth Mindset

The growth mindset is a belief that your basic qualities, including

intelligence and talent, can be cultivated through effort. This means that while people may be innately different, with certain aptitudes and temperaments, all aspects of a person’s abilities and personality can be changed, regardless of where your setpoint is.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 Fixed Mindset

The fixed mindset, on the other hand, is a belief that these same characteristics are fixed at birth or become locked-in by a certain age. This means that some people are just inherently more talented or intelligent than others and that’s just the way it is.

Quote: "Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world". 

- Lucille Ball - was an American actress, comedian, model, studio executive, and producer.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 When I entered and developed a career in computer sciences back in 1998, the first thing I learned was programming languages, hence, I learned logic. Logic generally means the systematic study o valid inference. Each "argument" in a line of code must agree with the next in order to move forward. 

What I didn't know is that learning logic does not make a person rational. Rationality in lame words means to conform with one's reason to believe. To determine if one's behavior is rational, one needs to make several assumptions the problem. Basically dispute whatever is on your mind to come to a positive solution.

Well I was totally into being dysfunctional about my reality and completely irrational. Not by choice mind you, simply because that's exactly how we are taught to be in life since our pre-pube days. The key to changing a fixed mindset is by believing you can change with a growth mindset.

John Bradshaw, a family-systems therapy advocate and family dynamics expert, cites research found 96 percent of all families to be to some degree 'dysfunctional' that is, the system by which the family interacts is distorted by the addictions and compulsions of one or more members.

How cool is that to know that you are not UNIQUE to this reality?

Quote: "Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better."

- Jim Rohn was an American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 You know, I was irrational for the greater part of 50 years of my life. Wow, I can't deny now that the choices I made in my life have lead me to many failures and successes as well.

I succeeded for 16 years as a data/network engineer, but just didn't quite get the promotions or pay raises I felt I deserved. I succeeded and failed a lot in my sales career between the ages of 18 and 33 years old. As well, the choices I made led me to the complete unfulfilled feeling of "I deserved that raise or that bonus" etc.

Due to my choices with women in my life, I have had successes and without a doubt, failures. Many a girlfriends from the age of 17 through the age of 35. All great to start and at the end dumped again for my bad choices. I hurt many women along the way and have even tried to make amends to exonerate them from my bad choices.

I got married, for the first time at age 35 and that lasted 8 hours. 2 years later I was divorced. I got remarried at age 38 on a whim and that didn't last as well. I produced a daughter who still after 18 years has only spoken to me as recently as 2 years ago for the first time. Since then we have lost touch again. 

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓‍ I thought I had learned something about the cards life had dealt me and always blamed everyone and anything to exonerate myself of any wrong doing. I'm 55 years old now and due to my choices in life, not the "cards life dealt me", I have learned over the past 8 months, that I was irrational.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 As an REBT Life Coach, I want nothing more than to see ordinary people reach their extraordinary potential! I have the realization that the global citizens limiting beliefs and irrational thinking is what is holding them back. Until now I didn’t know what to do about it. 

Well, now I do and will help guide the global netizens to finally feel in control of their destiny! I’ll show them how to stop trying to control other people or the outside world and instead to TAKE BACK THEIR POWER by learning how to direct their own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.  

The truth is that none of us were ever told that we have super powers because we each are the owners of the most powerful machine on the planet — the human mind! We have the ability to feel happiness, no matter what is happening around us. We have the ability to learn and change ANYTHING we want about ourselves. We have the ability to create the life we truly want, yes, even if right now it seems impossible. We possess the power to re-program our brains to achieve personal greatness while helping others achieve theirs. 

We’ve just never been taught how to use this power!  

Quote: "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world."

Buddha 590 B.C.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 The origins of REBT started back in the 1950's by Dr. Albert Ellis. he discovered that thinking creates feelings and actions was in direct opposition to his training in and practice of psychoanalysis.

So what is REBT ?

It is Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. It is an action oriented approach to coping with problems and enhancing personal growth. it is a system for changing emotional behaviors and feelings faster than you ever thought. 

REBT places a good deal of its focus on the present: on currently held attitudes, painful emotions and maladaptive behaviors that can sabotage the full experience of ones life. REBT also provides people with an individualized set of proven techniques for helping them to solve problems. 

As an REBT practitioner, I work closely with people, seeking to discover their individual set of beliefs ( attitudes, expectations, and personal rules) that frequently lead to emotional distress. I do this by employing the powerful REBT technique called "disputing". 

The results are happiness, living successfully with others, living a mentally healthy lifestyle and enhancing your personal wealth.

Quote: "We are never free when we imprison ourselves in the prison of our fixed, false beliefs." - 

Debasish Mridha is an American physician, philosopher, and author. He is a seeker of the deepest truth that affects human destiny.

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓  Teachers forgive yourselves now and realize it is not your fault. The fixed mindset the human majority has is due to a past authority figure or experiences influenced by others who perpetuate the negative beliefs in life.

One's life becomes a living hell by harnessing unconscious random beliefs imposed on you during your life time. But, adopting positive conscious beliefs you can make your life as amazing as you truly desire.

Getting teachers away from the feeling of despair and pain of being stunted is how I help the 688,000 educators wanting a real solution to move forward. False beliefs create limitations in our minds which in most cases lead us to beieve in failure. 

Do you want to get rid of your false beliefs and create an educational mass movement which will help the global student clients on Facebook?

First let's keep an open growth mindset to understand where your beliefs come from. Beliefs are deep rooted in our early childhood days and were fixed into our subconscious. Most likely by a parent/family member.
