Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We're in a negative routine, stuck in a rut, not
- 0:04Speaker 1: expecting things to change. We've gone through disappointments, head setbacks.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Now we've lowered our expectations, watered down our dreams. We
- 0:14Speaker 1: let what hasn't worked out be an excuse to settle.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Where we are.
- 0:18Speaker 3: Our mind is the control tower of our life. Whatever
- 0:22Speaker 3: happens in our life starts right here. All of our
- 0:25Speaker 3: decisions are there, And the truth is, whatever we are
- 0:28Speaker 3: today is the result of what we've been thinking about
- 0:31Speaker 3: all those years. The Bible says, as a man thinking
- 0:34Speaker 3: in his heart, so is he.
- 0:36Speaker 4: So if you don't like what's going on around you,
- 0:38Speaker 4: maybe you should ask yourself the question what am I
- 0:40Speaker 4: thinking about? What if I think about myself when I
- 0:43Speaker 4: think about other people? Because what we think about is
- 0:47Speaker 4: really what controls us.
- 0:49Speaker 5: You cannot attract thin from my hate being fat, because
- 0:55Speaker 5: if what you think about is what expands, and what
- 0:59Speaker 5: you're thinking thinking about is hating being fat, then hating
- 1:02Speaker 5: being fat is what you will continue to manifest. You
- 1:05Speaker 5: act upon what you think about. You cannot attract prosperity
- 1:10Speaker 5: from an inner consciousness that says I hate being poor,
- 1:15Speaker 5: I despise being poor, because if you despise being poor,
- 1:19Speaker 5: if you're angry about being poor, then being angry about
- 1:22Speaker 5: being poor or despising it is what you will continue
- 1:26Speaker 5: to act upon and you'll be able to say, see
- 1:29Speaker 5: now that's it gets worse. You cannot manifest what you
- 1:33Speaker 5: want if your attention is on what is. If your
- 1:37Speaker 5: attention is on what is and the circumstances of your life,
- 1:42Speaker 5: that's where your thoughts are, then you will continue to
- 1:46Speaker 5: create what is into your life. You've got to figure
- 1:50Speaker 5: out a way to get your mental images, your energy,
- 1:53Speaker 5: your attention, your higher awareness off of what is and
- 1:57Speaker 5: onto what you want. And every time you thoughts are
- 2:00Speaker 5: on what is, you're shifted to what do I want.
- 2:05Speaker 6: Studies made of the lives of literally thousands of successful
- 2:08Speaker 6: people have shown that they radiate confidence, assurance, They expect success,
- 2:13Speaker 6: and they get success. You can spot these people by
- 2:16Speaker 6: the way they walk, by the way they look and act.
- 2:18Speaker 6: You can feel it about them when they enter a room.
- 2:21Speaker 6: They may be short and fat, or tall and thin,
- 2:24Speaker 6: or any combination in between, but they have about them
- 2:26Speaker 6: the attitude of success. The easiest and most effective means
- 2:31Speaker 6: of forming a good attitude habit is to begin to
- 2:34Speaker 6: act as though you have a good, positive expectant attitude
- 2:37Speaker 6: toward life. That's right, Begin right now to walk, act
- 2:41Speaker 6: and look as though you belong to this group. If
- 2:44Speaker 6: you're already in the top five percent, you'll know what
- 2:46Speaker 6: I mean. If you've never tried it, you'll be amazed
- 2:49Speaker 6: at what happens. Actions trigger feelings just as feelings trigger actions.
- 2:55Speaker 7: The moment that you catch yourself being distracted, the moment
- 2:59Speaker 7: you catch yourself to worry, the moment you catch yourself
- 3:02Speaker 7: drifting to the future, drifting to the past. That's a
- 3:05Speaker 7: moment of tremendous power because you basically just woke up.
- 3:08Speaker 7: You basically just notice that you're not here in this
- 3:11Speaker 7: particular moment. So use that wake up call five four
- 3:15Speaker 7: three two one and ground yourself in this moment. The
- 3:18Speaker 7: best way to ground yourself in the moment is to
- 3:20Speaker 7: look for something in this particular moment that you can savor.
- 3:24Speaker 8: Now.
- 3:24Speaker 7: I'm using the word savor on purpose because it's the
- 3:27Speaker 7: word that psychologists use to describe what happens when you
- 3:32Speaker 7: find something in this moment, right now, right here, right now,
- 3:36Speaker 7: to focus on and to appreciate.
- 3:39Speaker 9: So, if loving yourself is going to move towards your goals,
- 3:41Speaker 9: then we're going to do it, even if you don't
- 3:43Speaker 9: think that you're worth it. If pushing to grow and
- 3:45Speaker 9: get better is going to move you towards your goals,
- 3:47Speaker 9: then we're going to do it, even if it doesn't
- 3:51Speaker 9: feel like you deserve it. You have to let go
- 3:54Speaker 9: of that in order to get to your goals. And now,
- 3:56Speaker 9: as long as your goal is exciting and honorable, why
- 3:59Speaker 9: would you have want to do something that holds you back.
- 4:01Speaker 9: If you're doing something that elevates yourself and other people,
- 4:04Speaker 9: why would you want to stop yourself from doing that?
- 4:06Speaker 9: Even if you deserve to be punished or whatever it
- 4:08Speaker 9: is that you think about yourself because of what happened
- 4:10Speaker 9: in the past doesn't make sense. Free yourself from that,
- 4:15Speaker 9: Allow yourself to contribute to yourself and others. Contribute as
- 4:20Speaker 9: big and aggressively as you want as you possibly can.
- 4:23Speaker 8: To notice its pointlessness. It's untruth to notice that you
- 4:29Speaker 8: don't want it because you don't want it. When you
- 4:32Speaker 8: notice it, you are the awareness, and you as the awareness,
- 4:35Speaker 8: don't want it. The pain body wants it. So the
- 4:39Speaker 8: awareness has to come in so that you break the
- 4:43Speaker 8: link between your pain body and your thought processes. That
- 4:51Speaker 8: is the key, is to sever the link between your
- 4:56Speaker 8: thought processes and the pain body. In order to say
- 5:00Speaker 8: the link between those that needs to be enough awareness presence.
- 5:07Speaker 8: Only the presence can save other link. The presence comes
- 5:10Speaker 8: in and so you no longer the emotion is no
- 5:15Speaker 8: longer controlling your thought activity. That's the key, and that's
- 5:21Speaker 8: the beginning of the end.
- 5:23Speaker 2: To be able to place our attention on what it
- 5:26Speaker 2: is that we would like to create for ourselves in
- 5:28Speaker 2: our lives. To literally have the power to know that
- 5:31Speaker 2: if I think about it, and I keep it there,
- 5:34Speaker 2: and I keep that picture firm within me, that there
- 5:38Speaker 2: is an energy, a source, a capacity within me that
- 5:44Speaker 2: is in the universe and that is also in me,
- 5:47Speaker 2: and that I can use this energy, that I can
- 5:50Speaker 2: manage it. There are many ways to get the things
- 5:53Speaker 2: that we want for ourselves in our lives, but basically
- 5:57Speaker 2: it all begins with how we choose to think as
- 6:01Speaker 2: you think, So shall you be Seven little words that
- 6:07Speaker 2: I think are perhaps the most important things that we
- 6:10Speaker 2: can learn and master in our lives. This old proverb
- 6:14Speaker 2: notion that I become what I think about all day long.
- 6:25Speaker 10: The term Mental strength refers to the internal power that
- 6:28Speaker 10: drives you to complete a particular action, task or goal.
- 6:32Speaker 10: If you're an athlete, it may involve sports and summoning
- 6:35Speaker 10: up the energy to finish that last stretch across the
- 6:37Speaker 10: finish line. Business acquaintances usually call on their mental strength
- 6:42Speaker 10: to close the final deal or complete a business presentation
- 6:45Speaker 10: with rave reviews focusing on receiving immediate orders. Individually, it
- 6:50Speaker 10: is described as an inner strength that allows you to
- 6:54Speaker 10: persevere making it through life's challenges and hurdles. We each
- 7:00Speaker 10: have the need to activate our own mental strength. It's
- 7:05Speaker 10: an internal force which triggers your body to perform beyond
- 7:10Speaker 10: normal expectations. It's your inner voice that says you are
- 7:14Speaker 10: capable and you can successfully confront the opposition, whether it's
- 7:18Speaker 10: physical or emotional. Mental strength is your body's response to
- 7:23Speaker 10: a condition or circumstance, causing your body to reply as needed.
- 7:28Speaker 10: Your mental strength can create a new level of physical
- 7:32Speaker 10: and emotional endurance based on the situation. It also helps
- 7:37Speaker 10: you to develop individually, calling on your own mental strength
- 7:42Speaker 10: to support you through physical encounters and emotional hardships that
- 7:47Speaker 10: you may have to face throughout your lives. Mental strength
- 7:53Speaker 10: is essential to building your own personal character based on
- 7:57Speaker 10: your own unique experiences. As you go through each day,
- 8:01Speaker 10: you depend on a certain amount of physical and emotional strength.
- 8:06Speaker 10: It's this ability to activate and call on our mental
- 8:10Speaker 10: strength that ensures we start and finish each day, no
- 8:13Speaker 10: matter how difficult. It's what brings us back to the
- 8:16Speaker 10: starting point to begin another day and face the ordeals
- 8:20Speaker 10: that are imposed by the world and ourself. It's the
- 8:23Speaker 10: same voice that listens when you have fallen and allows
- 8:26Speaker 10: us to sulk rather than agonize over what you've failed
- 8:30Speaker 10: to accomplish. Our mental strength allows you to accept your
- 8:34Speaker 10: weaknesses and focus on turning them into strengths. It gives
- 8:40Speaker 10: you the ability to make a decision to move forward
- 8:43Speaker 10: with the aptitude to make noticeable differences within your environment
- 8:46Speaker 10: and yourself. Mental strength builds your self reliance in making
- 8:52Speaker 10: decisions based on your inner awareness, while at the same
- 8:56Speaker 10: time increasing your physical and emotional health. When you feeling lean, healthy,
- 9:00Speaker 10: and confident, you actually improve your own mental strength, building
- 9:05Speaker 10: your level of competence and strengthening your body's ability to
- 9:09Speaker 10: confront and deal with life's next adventure or challenge. This
- 9:13Speaker 10: process becomes an asset and we learn to use it
- 9:16Speaker 10: as a valuable resource, taking advantage of our own ability
- 9:20Speaker 10: when we are in need of inspiration. Our own motivation
- 9:25Speaker 10: and resourcefulness encourage us to believe and gather the courage
- 9:30Speaker 10: and strength to accomplish our goals and maintain this newfound
- 9:34Speaker 10: practice of reliance and certainty. As we continue to develop
- 9:39Speaker 10: our mental strength, we begin to understand how capable we
- 9:43Speaker 10: are of achieving and completing our goals or tasks, whether
- 9:47Speaker 10: it's simply getting through each day or attaining new levels
- 9:50Speaker 10: of success. Mental strength gives you the ability to deal
- 9:55Speaker 10: with demanding situations, empowering yourself with the trust, rust, and
- 10:00Speaker 10: belief that you can confront your risks and deal resourcefully.
- 10:05Speaker 10: It creates your willpower to finish the race, the self
- 10:08Speaker 10: discipline to maintain a diet and exercise routine for your
- 10:11Speaker 10: own well being. It acknowledges that you are not perfect,
- 10:15Speaker 10: but you can become stronger and face the endeavors, no
- 10:18Speaker 10: matter how tough they appear in the beginning. Mental strength
- 10:22Speaker 10: confirms your need to know your own limits and how
- 10:26Speaker 10: far you can push past those boundaries to create new ones.
- 10:30Speaker 10: It's what gives you the ability to dream and focus
- 10:34Speaker 10: on what needs to be done, generating the energy both
- 10:38Speaker 10: physically and emotionally to sustain it produces the inner strength
- 10:44Speaker 10: to move past adversity and disadvantages that have held you
- 10:48Speaker 10: back before. You can improve and reinforce your mental strength
- 10:52Speaker 10: each day, ensuring that each time you call for help,
- 10:56Speaker 10: your brain instantly activates your body's respons bonds. You need
- 11:01Speaker 10: to challenge yourself slowly over time, so that your body
- 11:04Speaker 10: automatically enables your brain to consider the existing response or
- 11:09Speaker 10: execute a newly planned reaction to realize a successful solution.
- 11:14Speaker 10: Once you become conscious of your mental strength, you'll begin
- 11:17Speaker 10: to develop a habit that consistently improves the results and
- 11:20Speaker 10: the outcome. At some point, your mental strength becomes stronger
- 11:24Speaker 10: and faster through practice, exercise, and repeat functions. Your concentration improves,
- 11:30Speaker 10: as does your memory from past experiences, taking the good
- 11:35Speaker 10: conclusions and building endurance for the future, while remembering the
- 11:39Speaker 10: less successful results and replacing them with proven achievements. How
- 11:45Speaker 10: do you make the most of your mental strength? Challenge
- 11:50Speaker 10: yourself each day, Promise to consider an alternative to old
- 11:55Speaker 10: habits that didn't work, and implement new ones that do work.
- 12:00Speaker 10: You need to listen carefully to your brain and believe
- 12:03Speaker 10: that your body will respond because it's already been proven
- 12:07Speaker 10: that you can endure to face the challenges within your life.
- 12:11Speaker 10: Take your disappointments as a new challenge. Keep your brain
- 12:15Speaker 10: active by focusing on one thing at a time before
- 12:20Speaker 10: you move on to the next challenge to ensure the
- 12:24Speaker 10: desired results. Maintain a healthy balance of thought no matter
- 12:29Speaker 10: what you encounter by simply engaging your mental strength every
- 12:33Speaker 10: day of your life. A big part of life is
- 12:36Speaker 10: not so much what happens to us, but how we
- 12:39Speaker 10: respond to it. Having negative attitudes and behavior will lead
- 12:43Speaker 10: us to having a negative life. Having ups and downs
- 12:47Speaker 10: is a regular part of life, and wild depression is
- 12:50Speaker 10: a very real condition. You do not always have to
- 12:53Speaker 10: act depressed. Having a positive attitude about life and events
- 12:58Speaker 10: can make living more enjoyable yourself and the people around you.
- 13:02Speaker 10: If you want to easily improve your life, having a
- 13:04Speaker 10: positive mindset makes that possible. Being positive is more than
- 13:09Speaker 10: just an idea, It is a way of life that
- 13:11Speaker 10: should be practiced multiple times every day. Laugh whoever said
- 13:16Speaker 10: that laughter is the best medicine had the right idea.
- 13:20Speaker 10: Laughing even when a situation is not particularly funny, is
- 13:26Speaker 10: a great way to improve your outlook on a situation.
- 13:30Speaker 10: Laughing will also improve your mood and possibly the mood
- 13:33Speaker 10: of those around you. If you are faced with an
- 13:36Speaker 10: unfortunate situation that makes you want to cry, try laughing instead.
- 13:40Speaker 10: You may look crazy, but you will also feel better. Smile.
- 13:45Speaker 10: Along the same lines of laughter, Smiling is also a
- 13:49Speaker 10: positive way to express oneself. Smiling makes you look more
- 13:52Speaker 10: attractive and more approachable. In uncomfortable situations where you do
- 13:56Speaker 10: not know anyone. Most of the time, a smile will
- 13:58Speaker 10: be all that is needed to break the ice. When
- 14:01Speaker 10: you appear to be in a positive mood, positive people
- 14:05Speaker 10: will be drawn to you. A smile is a great
- 14:07Speaker 10: way to convey the message that you are feeling positive
- 14:10Speaker 10: and happy about life, even if you do not feel
- 14:13Speaker 10: that way. Smiling often enough will help to change your
- 14:16Speaker 10: mindset in a gradual way. Think positive thoughts. Thinking positive
- 14:21Speaker 10: thoughts is the surest way to become a more positive person.
- 14:27Speaker 10: If you are judgmental of yourself or others, it can
- 14:30Speaker 10: bring you down in a negative way. You owe it
- 14:33Speaker 10: to yourself to be a kind voice inside of your head.
- 14:35Speaker 10: Positive thoughts will also become positive words. This also works
- 14:39Speaker 10: the other way around. For example, if you're always thinking
- 14:42Speaker 10: negative thoughts, then it is likely that you will be
- 14:45Speaker 10: negative in conversations with other people. However, if you are
- 14:49Speaker 10: always thinking positive, then you will be bringing positive vibes
- 14:52Speaker 10: into conversations. Hang out with positive people. If you keep
- 14:58Speaker 10: constant company with people who are always negative, then it
- 15:01Speaker 10: is likely that you will become negative yourself. The best
- 15:04Speaker 10: way to avoid this is to hang around people who
- 15:07Speaker 10: you respect and who you would not mind picking up
- 15:10Speaker 10: habits from. Positive people usually hang out with others who
- 15:14Speaker 10: are positive, so if you would like to hang out
- 15:17Speaker 10: with other positive people, then you should also have that
- 15:20Speaker 10: same attitude. Take care of yourself. Eating a healthy diet,
- 15:26Speaker 10: not smoking, and not drinking heavily can have positive effects
- 15:30Speaker 10: on your mood and mindset. When you take time to
- 15:33Speaker 10: do what at best for your body, you will start
- 15:36Speaker 10: to feel better about yourself. Feeling better about yourself will
- 15:40Speaker 10: make you a more confident and positive person. Encouraging others
- 15:44Speaker 10: to do the same is a great way to build
- 15:45Speaker 10: a positive community with like minded individuals. Relax Taking time
- 15:51Speaker 10: to focus on yourself and relax is a great way
- 15:54Speaker 10: to get centered and refocus on your purpose in life.
- 15:57Speaker 10: We all have tough days. However, if you take a
- 16:00Speaker 10: few moments to meditate, the positive things in your life
- 16:03Speaker 10: will begin to come into focus. Life is stressful and
- 16:06Speaker 10: it is important to find some moments every day or
- 16:09Speaker 10: evening to let go of the stress. Doing yoga, listening
- 16:13Speaker 10: to relaxing music, or practicing another hobby is also a
- 16:17Speaker 10: great way to bring some positive thoughts into your mind
- 16:19Speaker 10: in a productive way. Love your family. Your family is
- 16:23Speaker 10: with you no matter what. Taking some time to appreciate
- 16:26Speaker 10: them and show your love to them is one of
- 16:28Speaker 10: the most positive things that you can do for them
- 16:30Speaker 10: and yourself.
