Ownership of Your Mentality
Become a Global Ambassador for Self-Worth. Text us your feedback!
Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 1, Episode 7 on Transacting Value Podcast!
Porter is joined by Jonesy and Will for today’s discussion on mentality, that is, how one views a particular situation.
Our mentality can color how we feel about different situations and circumstances. What seems normal to one person might be offensive to another. What one person sees as an obstacle, another sees as an opportunity.
Take harassment and bullying, for instance. Most would have nothing but negative things to say about those subjects, yet this gang of fathers found a silver lining even there. But first, what is the difference anyway?
Harassment is in the realm of the emotional and verbal and usually involves humiliating someone and/or giving them unwanted attention. Bullying sometimes crosses the line into the physical.
Where could the silver lining be in that? We learn resilience through trials and hardships. And some things just can’t be learned except through experience. Growth and resilience are born out of the struggle.
The three fellows explore things like the following:
- If someone gets hit, should they hit back?
- When is it important to stand your ground?
Will shared a terrifying bullying incident from his childhood, about how the experience plagued him for years, about how he eventually, with the help of a buddy, processed it and moved beyond it…and about the haircut years later that brought the bullying incident to a beautiful place of closure.
Building mental resistance by doing the following:
- Dehumanizing the catalyst to more easily process emotions
- Making light of the issue
- Thinking through what went wrong and how to prevent similar situations in the future
- Acknowledging when you’re afraid. It’s okay to be scared. Only when you have allowed yourself to be afraid can you get past the fear into courage.
Owning your mentality will help you…
- Become a better person
- Process and grieve
- Enjoy and laugh
- Overcome fear
- Parent your children
- Communicate with parents
- Relate with peers
Quotes from today’s episode:
“It’s important to stand your ground, no matter your age.”
“In certain self-defense cases, physical reactions are necessary.”
“I’ll take whatever is coming and handle it to the best of my ability. I’ve given myself permission to fail. I’ve given myself permission to be vulnerable and weak. I’ve given myself permission to be human and make mistakes. ”
“Even as a child, you are enough to entertain yourself as you build your imagination.”
“You are naturally able to nurture yourself.”
