Introduction to Thought Transformation : Module one. As usual, we are starting our lesson on mod one, which is titled Introduction to thought transformation. This module, we'll be introducing you to what thought transformation is all about and how you can go about achieving your thought transformation. Let's go in. Key concept, the power of thoughts and how thoughts shape reality. The truth is that what goes on in your mind, what goes on your subconscious mind affects your reality. It has impact, I have impact on your reality, and that is what we want to take a look at right now. How what goes on inside you affects what you produce outside. Our thoughts aren't just passive observations. Your thoughts is just not passive observations. They actively shape our perceptions. Your thoughts actively shape your perceptions. Your thoughts actively shape how you define things, how you define your environment, and how you define yourself as well. Decisions, it also affect and impact the kind of decisions you make and how you make those decisions and the outcome as well. What you get at the end of the decisions is also connected to what goes on in your mind and how it affects your character and your behavior. The way we think determines how we feel. So the way you think, your thinking pattern, your thinking process, affects the way you feel. So the way you feel is directly linked to the way you think. Which then influences how we behave. Behavior, your character is rooted deep in the way you think. You behavior, your character is rooted deeply in your thinking pattern. Your whole body, your whole human definition is rooted and is the product of your thinking pattern. That is the reality. In this model, we laid the foundation by exploring how thought transformation leads to life transformation. Like I've told you that what you see, the product if we tag your life as a product, if we tag you as a product. Now, the quality and value of that product is a function of the quality and the value of your thoughts. In this module, we will lay the foundation by exploring how thoughts transformation leads to life transformation, which means if you want to transform your life, it is important that you change the way you think. You thinking process, your thinking pattern cannot remain the same, why you want your life to change. So a life transformation is a function of thought transformation. Understanding the mind thought behavior connection. So what is the connection? What is the linkage between the mind and thinking? What is the linkage between your subconscious mind and your thought process? What is the linkage between your subconscious mind and your thinking value and your thought value? So let's go right there. Thoughts spark inner insight, which then guide our actions. Your thoughts, spark inner insight. Which then guide our action. Your thoughts spike some insight inside you, which then determine and guide your actions. Which then determine and guide your behavior. I hope you get that point. Your thoughts, your thinking pattern, always spark inner insight. This inner inside, which you are not even aware of, but the truth is that you are responding to those inner insight. You will always respond to those inner insight. That is how human beings are wired. Your thoughts spark inner insight. When those inner insights are sparked, then it guts your actions, I got your reactions, it got your behavior. For example, a thought like, I am not good enough. A thought like, I am not good enough, that thought when it now becomes an hobby for you, that it now becomes part of your life that you think you are not good enough, that you think you cannot achieve sources, that you think you cannot achieve any good thing, that you think you fill this kind of fiiority complex. Then it starts to guide your actions. You start responding to that thinking, you start responding to that thoughts, and when it gets to that level, just that thinking that you are not good enough can lead to the feelings of inadequacy. I can lead to the feeling of inferiority complex, that thought. Now, now imagine if what goes on in your mind, majority and most of the things that your mind produces has to do with this kind of I am not good enough. Just imagine it. Most times that most times the things that your mid produces, the quality of thoughts that your mid produces, the quality and the value of thoughts that your mind produces are something that can be profile in the neighborhood of I am not good enough. And I have told you that you react and you act based on your thought pattern. Imagine what you are talking about. When it gets to this level, you start feeling a feeling of inadequacy and inferiority complex behaviors like procrastination or self supodage I am not good enough can lead to feelings of inadequacy and behaviors like procrastination or self sabotage. You become your own challenge, you become your own issue, you procrastinate, and you sabotage yourself. That is how powerful our thoughts are. That is how strong our thinking patterns are. When you change the root thought, when you change the root thought, the inner energy and behavioral chain reaction also shifts. Why you now change the roots thought of, I am not good enough, of course, that feeling of that result of inadequacy, that final product of inadequacy, that final product of behavior like procrastination, that final product of self sabotage also shifts. Why? Because the root of that thought has been changed. Can you now see how you can use thoughts? Transformation to transform your life as well. So all you need to do is to change the root thought. That thought always have a root. That thought is not just coming up. There is a root. There is something there's something providing energy. There's something providing oxygen. There's something providing life to that thought. So what you need to do is to change that root. Once you change that root, once you block that vein that is bringing the oxygen, once you stop that wire, the code that is supplying the energy, the behavioral change also shifts. That is the power of our thoughts, and that is the power of our thinking pattern. The thinking chamber. The thinking flow gives the thinking chamber the ability to rewire itself through repeated thoughts and experience. The thinking flow gives the thinking chamber. The thinking chamber is also the thinking faculty, the ability to rewire itself, the ability to reprogram itself, the ability to readapt itself, to reset itself. And this is done through repeated thoughts and experiences. Each time you think a thought, you strengthen the thinking faculty pathway. I now depends on the thought you think. If you think positive thinking, that means, you strengthen it positively. If it is negative thinking, that means, you strengthen it negatively. By practicing new empowering thoughts, which means you need to practice it. You need to practice it so that your mind can get used to empowering thoughts. Remember, I said that the thinking flow gives the thinking chamber the ability to rewire itself. So if you want to rewire your thinking chamber, you have to do it with empowering thought. This empowering thought, you have to practice it. By practicing new empowering thoughts, you can literally reshape your thinking and change your default thinking pattern. So you can change your thinking and also change your default thinking patterns just by practicing new and empowering thoughts. You have to practice it. And I am going to give you an exercise soon that will teach you how to practice it. Identifying thought patterns and their influence, how can you identify your thought pattern and the kind of influence they have on you? Our thoughts often run on autopilot. These patterns, shaped by upbringing, culture, and life experiences influence our decisions, habits, and even our identity. So So those pattern of your thoughts, which is shaped, which is modified by your upbringing, by your culture and your life experiences influence your decisions, influence your habits, and influence your identity. It defines your identity and all these things happening orningly to you. All these things happen or noingly to you. All these things occur annoyingly to you. So your thinking patterns, which is shaped by your culture, life experiences, upbringing, have direct influence on the way you make decisions, the kind of decisions you make, your habit, your behavior, your character, and it also defines your identity. Becoming aware of common themes, it is fear, comparison, judgment is the first step to take towards change. So if you want to make a change, you have to become aware of common themes. You must be able to profile Exercise thoughts awareness a thought awareness journal. For the next 24 hours, keep a journal of your thoughts pattern. For the next 24 hours, keep a journal of your thoughts at regular interval. Please, if you don't know how to keep Journal or you don't understand how to keep Jona, the right way, the proper way, I have many courses, several courses on journaling. Go for them, go through them. Make sure you do the exercise that are in them so that you can understand how to do this exercise better. Categorize each thought as positive, neutral, or negative. Each of those thought that you have journal, for the last 24 hours, then categorize them as positive, neutral, or negative. The goal of this exercise is to empower you to be able to aware to become aware of recurring thought themes and also for you to start to identify your thought patterns. When you do this exercise, you'll be able to become aware of your curing thought themes and also identify your thought patterns. Ask yourself, what triggers these negative thoughts, including the positive thoughts, you need to know what triggers them. A certain people, places or times they increase. As Ada certain people there always increase your negative thoughts, your positive thoughts, Ida places that always increase your negative thoughts or your positive thoughts. Idea timeshare certain times, certain period that your negative thoughts used to increase or air time that your positive thoughts used to increase. You are going to the next module, which is Module two, our lesson to recognizing, limiting beliefs. Let's go. 3. Recognizing Limiting Beliefs: Welcome to Lesson two, recognizing, limiting beliefs. The reason why you are not productive, the reason why you are not achieving personal growth and personal development, may be rooted in what you believe. May be rooted in what you believe, the kind of values you believe and this course is going to this particular mode with this particular lesson will expose you to those limiting beliefs, how you can recognize them and how they impact your life. Let's go. Key concept, what limiting beliefs are and how they develop. We want to go and look at what limiting beliefs are and how those limiting beliefs develop over time. Limiting beliefs are internal stories that hold us back. Limiting beliefs are internal stories. They are your inner stories that hold you back. They are often subconscious and fall in childhood based on family, school, society, or experiences. So your limiting beliefs are subconscious in nature. They are subconscious in nature, and they always form in childhood, based on family. They are always formed during your childhood, based on your school. They are always based on your society. They are always based on your experiences. Okay? Have you seen what usually form your limiting beliefs is based on your family, your school, your society, your experiences, your exposure. Examples. I'm about to give you examples right now. I don't deserve success. When you think this way, you can trace it back to your childhood. You can trace it back to your family. You can trace it back to your school, your society, or the experiences you've gathered you've have over time. I am too old to change. People will always leave me. These are limiting beliefs. Common limiting beliefs and their sources. Now, we want to observe common limiting beliefs and where they are getting their energy from, when they are getting their oxygen from, let's go writing. These beliefs often fall into categories like self worth, money, relationship, or ability. These are common limiting beliefs. They will either fall into self worth, fall into money, fall into relationships, fall into ability. They stem from negative feedback, failure, rejection or life experiences. These negative beliefs are rooted in negative feedback. They are rooted in failure. They are rooted in rejection and life experiences over time. Understanding where they came from helps you change helps you challenge their truth. When you understand where these limiting beliefs are coming from, you are able to challenge their truth and you are able to challenge their false. Because most of these limiting belief are false, their definition of falsehood. You are able to challenge their truth or their false. Whether they are true or they are false, you are able to challenge them. But before you are able to challenge them, you need to understand where they are coming from. You need to understand where they are drawing their strength from. You need to understand where they are drawing their oxygen from. Impact on self worth, decision and outcomes. So we want to take a look at the impact of self limiting belief, the impact of limiting belief on self worth, on your decisions and your outcomes. The impact of limiting belief on you on yourself, on your decisions and outcomes. Limiting beliefs influence how we view opportunities on ourselves. You limiting belief have impact on how you define opportunities, how you perceive opportunities and yourself, your perception about yourself, how you perceive it. If you believe you are not good at public speaking, you might avoid career growth opportunity that has to do with public speaking. If you believe if your belief is that you are not good at public speaking and that you cannot be good at public speaking, you might avoid career growth. You might avoid career growth opportunity. You might avoid career growth development that has to do with public speaking. Which reinforcing that belief? Which reinforce that belief that you are not good at public speaking? Are you now seeing how your limiting belief, how your limiting belief affect your life, how your limiting belief affect your self productivity, how your limiting belief affect your personal growth and your personal development. If you believe you are not good at public speaking, when your opportunity comes for you to advance in your career, for you to advance in what you do, and that opportunity we make you to speak publicly, you may start looking for opportunity to dodge that opportunity just because you have made yourself to believe that you are not good at public speaking and you cannot be good at public speaking. This also reinforce your limiting belief. Over time, this shape your identity and limit your potential. That is what we happen over the time. As time goes on as events keep overtaking events, you will just see that it starts limiting your potential and it shapes your identity. That is going to be the outcome because you have already made a decision to dodge that opportunity, and the outcome will be that it shape your identity and it limits your potential. Spotting hidden belief through introspection. There are certain beliefs that are hidden. But as hidden as they are, you are having an impact. They're having impacts that are not hidden. Their impacts are not hidden, but those beliefs are hidden. Let's go and see what they are. Some beliefs are deeply buried and need to be brought to light. Some of your beliefs are deeply buried inside you and you need to bring them to the light. Pay attention to repeated SQCsFerce or insightful or surprising reactions. Pay attention to repeated excuses, fierce or insightful or surprising reactions. Use journaly prompts. Again, we are going back to journalin and I have said this, I have several courses on journaling, go through those courses, go and see how you can do journaling the right way. Use journally prompts like what do I believe about sources? Ask yourself, what do you believe about sources? What is your perception, your understanding about sources? Why do I think I don't deserve this? Whatever you think you do not deserve? Ask yourself why you think you do not deserve it. What would I attempt if I had no fear? Assuming there is no fear in you, what would you attempt? Exercise limiting belief worksheet. Write down three call limiting beliefs, you've uncovered for each one. Write down three limiting beliefs you've uncovered for each one. Discard the belief. Which 1:00 A.M. I talking about? Remember the prompts the journaling prompts I just talked about. This exercise is an extension of those journaling prompts. Describe the three c limiting belief you have uncovered for each one, describe the belief. Identify its origin. Event, is it an event in your life that has produced that belief? Is it somebody that has produced? Is it a memory and experience? Is it a place that has produced? You need to identify that? How has it influenced your life so far? How has it influenced your personal development, your personal growth so far? This self reflection is crucial for preparing the ground for belief change. If you want to change your belief, you need to do this reflection. You need to do this exercise. That is if you want to change your belief. We are going to the next model. What are we going to look at in the next module? Module three, our Lesson three, reframing negative thoughts. Our next model, which is lesson three, we train you, we teach you how to reframe negative thoughts. Let's not waste time. Let's go right there. 4. Reframing Negative Thoughts: Welcome to Module three, reframing negative thought. In this model, we'll be taking a look at how you can identify what negative thoughts are, how you can become conscious of negative thoughts and how you can reframe negative thoughts. Let's go into it. What is the key concept here? Cognitive reframing a two for transformation. We'll be taking a look at cognitive reframing as two for transformation. Cognitive reframing is the process of identifying a negative or distorted thoughts. The process by which you identify a thought that is negative or a thought that is distorted is called cognitive reframing and consciously replacing it with a more realistic or empowering perspective. If you divide all that I have said, you will see that cognitive reframing starts with number one, you identifying you becoming aware of a negative or distorted thought. Then you make a step further, but consciously, you have to be aware of it. It has to be a calculated attempt to replace that's negative or distorted thoughts with a more realistic or empowering perspective. It is only when you are able to identify that the thought is negative or that the thought is distorted, that you can take a conscious step to replace it with a thought that is more empowering. It's not about lying to yourself. It's about shifting perception to better serve your well being. It's about shifting your perception, it's shifting your perception to better serve to better promote and to better project your well being. Introduction to cognitive distortions. What are cognitive distortions? Let's go and check it out. Cognitive distortions are faulty ways of thinking that exaggerate negatively. Cognitive distortions are faulty ways. You faulty ways of thinking that exaggerates negativity are called cognitive distortions. Examples of cognitive distortions. What are the examples of cognitive distortions? We started from where cognitive distortions was introduced to you. I say cognitive reframing is the process of identifying a negative or distorted thoughts and cautiously replacing it with a more realistic or empowering perspective. We are now we've done introduction to cognitive distortions, where I say cognitive distortions are faulty ways of thinking. They are your faulty ways of thinking. What does this faulty way of thinking? What do they do? They exaggerate negativity. They do not exaggerate anything good. They exaggerate negativity. What are the example? Let's check it out. Catastrophing, expecting the worst to come. When you think that the worst is going to happen at any time. When that is your thinking, that is a cognitive distortions. What goes on in your mind is a problem is coming, a disaster is coming, something if is about to happen, something is about to occur. You become apprehensive of nothing. That is a cognitive distortion. Let's check another one. Black and white thinking, seeing things as all good or all bad. So I either they are all good or they are all bad. There is nothing in the middle. That is black and white thinking. It is a form of cognitive distortion. Mind reading. Assuming others are thinking negatively about you. You begin to suspect everybody, they are not your friend, on your part, they are not for you. They are thinking negative about you, they're planning negative about you. That is mind reading, and it is a form of cognitive distortions. Recognizing this help reduce their power. When you recognize all this, you are able to bring down their power. You are able to conquer their power. So knowing all these things and recognizing them is the first step. And it is only when you recognize them that you can now start replacing them consciously with a realistic and empowering perspective. Techniques for challenging and replacing negative thoughts. Now, we've seen what those negative thoughts are, how they build up and the examples. We want to go and check the techniques you can use to challenge them and also to replace them. Ask yourself, is these thought hundred percent true? That thought that is being generated inside you, is it 100% true? What evidence supports or contradicts it? You have to come up with evidence or the evidence that supports that thought or that contradicts it. What will I say to a friend? Who had these thoughts? If you know of a friend or someone that has that kind of thought, what would you say to that person? Use logic, compassion and curiosity to soften rigid thinking. Use logic, compassion and curiosity to soften your rigid thinking. Building a positive narrative. Now, we want to see how you can build a positive narrative. Once you reframe a thought, integrate it into your self talk. Once a thought has been reframed, you will have to integrate it into yourself talk. A thought like I always feel, every setback teaches me something. I am improving every time. A thought like I always feel, could become something like every setback teaches me something, and that is true. Every setback in life teaches us something. If we have a strong perspective and a strong narrative and a positive narrative about it, there will always be a lesson in that setback that will be used in the next phase of our life because that setback is preparing you for the next phase of your life. But if you approach it with a negative narrative, there is no way you will see that positivity. In that setback. Every setback always have positivity. It is that positivity that you need. And when you have the right frame of mind and thought, you'll be able to pick that positivity and move on to the next phase of your life. A thought like I always feel could become every setback teaches me something. I am improving every time. With repetition, this becomes your new narrative and internal truth. With repetition, this becomes your new narrative and internal truth. Exercise, reframing practice. This exercise, we teach you how to go about the reframing process. Choose three negative thoughts from your thoughts Awareness Journal. We have tutored how to do the thought awareness Journal I have many courses on awareness on journaling. Go and check them out how you can do journaling properly. Choose three negative thoughts from your thoughts Awareness journal. For each of those thoughts, writes down the original thoughts. Write down the original thoughts. Number two, identify any distortions. For example, is there any exaggeration? Is there any labeling? Is there any assumption? Then number three, reframe it into a balanced and empowering alternative. Reframe what you have in number one into a balanced, empowering alternative. Example, I'm about to give you an example now. Here is the original thought, I am a failure because I didn't get the job. Instead of labeling yourself a failure, just because you did not get the job, here is a better way to reframe it. This job wasn't the right fit for me, and now I am one step closer to the right opportunity. So in the reframing, you realize that you did not label yourself a failure. This job wasn't the best for me. This opportunity wasn't the best for me, and now I am one step closer to the right opportunity. That is the way you are going to reframe it. I am giving you an example. You use this example as a template. Next, we are going to the next lesson. In the next lesson, we will be considering the role of self talk. The role of self talk. Let's go right in. 5. The Role of Self - Talk: Welcome to Modu four. Our Lesson four is titled The Rule of Self Talk. The Rule of self talk. Key concept. The key concept in this lesson is inner dialogue and its influence on behavior. We will be taking a look at your inner dialogue. The talk you the things you say that you don't say out. I hope you understand the way I put it. The things you say that you don't see out, you say them inside. They are your inner dialogue. Inner dialogue and its influence on your behavior and its impact on your behavior. Your inner dialogue, which is the ongoing stream of thought you direct towards yourself. The ongoing stream of thought you direct towards yourself. That is inner dialogue. It shapes your self image, motivation, and behavior. Even though when you make this inner dialogue, people around you don't hear of it. But as they don't hear of it, it still shape your self image. It shapes yourself esteem. It shapes your motivation. It affects your behavior, even though you don't say it out, even though people around you don't hear about it, it's you alone that hear about it. Is you alone that knows about it. But yet it shapes your self image, it shapes your motivation and behavior. Whether it's a quiet whisper or a loud internal critique even though it's a loud internal critic, people around you can see no hear it because it is internal, it is inner dialogue. Whether it's a quiet whisper or a loud internal critique, this voice sets the tone for how you respond to life challenges and opportunities. You inner dialog sets the tone, set the space for how you respond to life challenges and opportunities. Positive versus negative self talk. Negative self talk includes criticism, self doubt, fear based assumption, assumptions that are rooted that are planted in fear and discouragement. Positive self talk promotes encouragement. Believe in your abilities. Compassion and solution focused thinking. Your negative self talk always include when you criticize yourself, whether it is silent criticism or internal loud criticism. Why you self doubt yourself? Why fear why you make assumptions that are based on fear? Wh you make assumptions that are rooted that are being promoted. From fear and when you discourage yourself. All these are negative self talk. And like I said, this self talk sets the toll for how you respond to life challenges and opportunities. So when you criticize yourself, you can now see how you will respond to life opportunities and challenges. When you s that yourself, can you now imagine how you will respond to life challenges and opportunities? When you promote yourself based on assumptions that are based and rooted in fear, you can see, you can now imagine how you are going to respond to life challenges and opportunities. When you discourage yourself, you can now imagine how you will respond to life opportunities and challenges. Now, when you now move to positive talk, which promotes encouragement, when you encourage yourself, you tackle life challenges properly and you approach life opportunities better. You approach life opportunity which with strength, and optimism. When you believe in your abilities, you can now imagine how you will respond to life challenges and opportunity. Approach you approach opportunities with confidence and boldness. When you approach life challenges and opportunities with solution focused thinking, things become easier. Things flow well. The shift from negative to positive self talk is one of the most powerful mindset changes you can make. So the shift, moving from negative to positive self talk is one of the most powerful mindset changes you can make, and that is what you should do. I've made the examples for you. You need to shift from criticism. You need to shift from self doubt, you need to shift from fear based assumption. You need to shift from discouraging yourself and then move to encouraging yourself, believing in your abilities, compassion, having compassion on yourself, and using solution focused thinking to approach life. Shaping affirmations for self growth. How can you shape your affirmations to achieve self and personal growth? Affirmations are positive presentence. Affirmations are positive presents statement that reinforce empowering beliefs. Affirmations are positive presentense statements that reinforce empowering beliefs. Instead of vague phrases, I am perfect. Instead of vague phrases, I am perfect. Use grounded ones. I handle challenges with confidence and clarity. Instead of you saying I am perfect because even though it looks good yet it's still vague. Even though it sounds well, it's still vague, I am perfect. Use the ones that are more grounded. The ones that are more uplifting. I undo challenges with confidence and clarity. I approach opportunities with boldness and confidence. I approach life opportunities with optimism and boldness. I approach life opportunity with optimism and confidence. You see that this is more grounded and it is uplifting. To be effective, they must feel authentic and be repeated consistently. For this to be effective, you will have to repeat them. Repeatedly and it has to be consistently. You have to repeat them consistently and it has to be authentic. It must feel authentic. It must come from within, and you have to repeat it consistently for it to be effective. Creating a supportive inner voice, how do you create a supportive inner voice? You will have to train your inner voice to act like a compassionate coach instead of a arch critique we have to train your inner voice, which is that your inner dialogue to act like a compassionate coach, to act like a compassionate advisor, to act like a compassionate motivator, to act like a compassionate encourager, instead of a sh critique. This involves being gentle in moment of failure. In moment of failure, you need to be calm. You need to be gentle, so that you can see things clearly, so that you can think clearly and so that you can be objective in your thinking and objective in your scene. Curios in moment of confusion so that you can be objective in what you want to see and what you see is also bring clarity. You see things better. You know things better, you understand better. Curious in moment of confusion, and assertive in moment of fear. Ask, what will a positive mentor say to me right now? What would a positive mentor say to me right now? Exercise. This is an exercise for this lesson. Self talk, makeover. Step one, for one day, notice yourself talk and jot down common phrases or recording in a commentary. Now, step one, this exercise is taking us back to journaling. Like I have said, I have many courses that is dedicated on journaling, go and check them out and understand how you can properly do journaling and how you can do journaling for personal growth and development. For one day, Notice your self talk. You have to notice when you are self talking and jot down common phrases or recording in a commentary. After you are done with step one, then go to step two, identify five recording negative or helpful self talk patterns. Identify five recalling negative or helpful self talk patterns. When you are done, you go to step three, rewrite each one as a daily affirmation that encourage growth and development. Example, this is old one, which you are able to get from one and two. I mess this up all the time. That's why you are able to get from step one and two. I mess this up all the time. Then step three, I learn from every mistake and keep growing stronger and better. I learn from every mistake and keep growing stronger and better. Create a short daily affirmation script, three to five sentences, and read it aloud each morning. So you create a daily affirmation script. Three to five sentences is fine and read it loud each morning to yourself. We are moving to the next lesson. What are we going to consider in the next lesson? Module five, which is visualization and inner a visualization and inner aza. Let's go there. 6. Visualization and Inner Rehearsal: Welcome to Mod five. Our lesson five is visualization and a rehearsal, visualization and inner rehearsal. What is the key concept in this module? The key concept is the imagination reality link. The mind often doesn't distinguish between vividly imagined experiences and real ones. So your mind cannot distinguish which one is vividly imagined experiences and real ones. This is why visualization can powerfully shape your beliefs. Okay? That's the reason why visualization can powerfully shape your beliefs. It can powerfully shape your insights and actions. What you visualize consistently, your mind starts treating as familiar and achievable. What you visualize consistently, your mind start treating it as familiar and achievable. Using visualization to reinforce new beliefs. How can you use visualization to reinforce new beliefs? Your new affirmations and empowering thoughts with vivid imagery. Pair your new affirmations with treated affirmations and empowering thoughts. Now pair both with vivid imagery. For instance, if you are affirming confidence, visualize yourself walking into a room with poise and being respected and heard. If you are affirming confidence, visualize yourself walking into a room with poise and being respected and heard if you are a family Bdness, visualize yourself walking into a room and presenting a proposal, and presenting a proposal and being respected and heard this makes the belief feel more real and attainable when you do this because you are affirming confidence, boldness, and a ping thought. So when you pair it, when you pair it with an imagery, it makes the belief more real and attainable. Creating a vivid future self vision. How can you create a vivid future self vision? Your future self is a version of you who has already achieved your goals. You have set your goals in your present self. Then you transcend into your future self where you have achieved those goals, even though you are seen in your present self. You visualize yourself, achieving those goals. You visualize yourself achieving those sources, you visualize yourself, achieving those greatness. So that is what your future self is. Visualizing this helps and guide your decisions, and also shape your daily habits. Visualizing this self, visualizing yourself, helps guide your decisions, and also shape your daily habits. Picture how you speak, how you think. How you act and solve problems. In that future, you are your presence. Now, picture how you speak when you have achieved that greatness. Picture how it feels, how you think act and solve problems. Then begin embodying that version. Begin embodying that version. Begin seeing yourself in that version. Mindleasa techniques used by high performers. We want to observe midleRasa techniques used by high performers. Atlets speakers and CEOs. Often Mars key moments. That is the truth.

Moduss mindfulness and thought observation. How can you be mindful of your thoughts and how can you be observative of your thoughts? That is what you want to go and take a look right now. Let's go and do that. 7. Mindfulness and Though Observation: Mood Cs are lesson Cs, mindfulness and thought observation. We will be taking a look at mindfulness, how you can become more mindful and also how you can observe your own thoughts. The key concept here is that mindfulness as the gateway to thought control. Becoming mindful is the gateway to your thought control. If you want to control your thought, you have to be mindful of what goes on in your mind. If you want to control your thoughts, you have to be mindful of what goes on in your thinking chamber. Mindfulness is the practice of being present and aware without judgment. Mindfulness is the practice of being present and aware without judgment. It helps you to notice thoughts as they arise, Okay. It helps you to notice your thought as your thought arises, giving you the power to choose which one to engage with. Look at that, giving you the power, giving you the ability, giving you the enablement. You are able to choose which of those thoughts to engage with, which of those thoughts you want to carry on with. But for you to be able to do that, you have to first be aware and be present. You must know that this thought is coming up. You must know that this thought is being generated. It is when you are able to do that, that you own that power. You acquire that power, that ability, that capability to choose which of those thoughts to engage with. And which to release. You want to know which of those thoughts to release, to let go to forget to forgo, and which one to engage with. Observing thoughts without judgment. Many thoughts are random. Of course, many of your thoughts are random, habitual or fear driven. That is how we can profile thoughts and that's how you can profile your thoughts. Many of your thoughts are random. They are harbitual they are harbitual or they are rooted in fear. Instead of reacting to each one, mindfulness teaches you to simply notice. Instead of you reacting to your mode of thinking, which is random, which is habitual, which is fear generated. Your mindfulness, when you become mindful, it teaches you to simply notice there's thought about failure. Oh, that is a thought about failure. So you get to know, you get to identify. So you can identify and profile a thought. You can label a thought, and that is what observing your thought does for you. That is what taught observation thought does for you. That is what mindfulness and thought observation does for you. You are able to profile your thought. Oh, that thought is a thought of fear. Oh, Dutt is a thought of limitation. Oh, Dutt is a thought of self judgment. You are able to label your thoughts. This detachment weakes negative patterns and brings clarity. When you are able to label these thoughts, you are able to detach from them. And when you detach from them, it weakens negative patterns and brings out clarity. Meditation techniques to calm the mind. How can you use meditation techniques to calm your mind? Basic meditation, like focusing on your breath, a sound or body sensation, helps quiet mind chatter. Why you focus on your breathing. You focus on a sound. You pay attention to your body sensations. It helps quiet the mind. Even five to 10 minutes a day improves your ability to stay calm. Why you do five to 10 minutes meditation or per day, it improves your capability to stay calm and respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. Five to 10 minutes per day meditation also help you to respond thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively. Becoming the thinker, not the thoughts. So here you will learn how you are going to separate yourself from your thoughts. How you are going to separate your thoughts from yourself so that you can become because if you do not do the separation, there's no way you can observe and pay attention to your thinking pattern. It is only when you are able to do the separation, that is when you can observe your thinking pattern. You are not your thoughts. Of course, you are not your thoughts because your thoughts is different from you and you are different from your thoughts. You are the observer, the thinker behind the thoughts. You are the observer, you are the thinker behind your thoughts. It is your thinking that is producing the thoughts. Realizing this allows you to this identify from painful from painful or unhelpful thinking and creates space between stimulus and response. So when you realize that there is different between you and your thoughts, that you are just the thinker, you are the thinker and not the thoughts. You are the observer, and it is your thinking that is producing the thoughts. It is the activities in your mind. It is the activities in your subconscious mind, in your subconscious that is producing the thoughts. So when you know that for you to have control over the thoughts, then you are going to exercise control over your subconscious. When you are allowed this and you understand this, you gain power to dis identify from painful and unhelpful thinking and create space between stimulus and response. You are able to create space between stimulus and response. That is when you are able to react impulsively and not rest. You are able to react thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively. You can only do that when you understand that you are the thinker behind your thoughts. When you do this, you create space enough space, enough large space between the stimulus and response. Between the incident, between the event, that happen and which you want to respond on, which you want to react on. You enlarge the space. You have enough time to calm down that space is what you need to calm yourself down to see things clearer, to monitor your thoughts, to monitor your feelings, and make a better, a clearer decision. So that space is what you need for you to enlarge that space so that you have enough power, enough capability to calm down, you need to understand that you are the thinker and your thoughts is different from you. Exercise, mindful thoughts watch. Set timer three times a day, morning, afternoon and evening. When the timer goes off, stop and ask, you can set timer for 4 minutes, 5 minutes. When it goes off, then stop and ask yourself. What am I thinking right now? What are you thinking at that moment? Is that thing you are thinking that your thoughts? Is it hef neutral or negative? What triggered that thought? Where is that out generating its energy from? Where is it generating his motivation from? Where is it rotating? Log the thot and label it. I have taught you different types of thought pattern and how to log it. Label and profile the tots. The goal of this is for you to build awareness of your thought pattern. If you do this correctly and consistently because it cannot be a one off thing, you have to do it again and again for some time. It will allow you to build awareness of your thought pattern and improve your ability to stay present, you stay in the know of your thought pattern. Overtime can you see that? Overtime because it ts to take time, you need to keep doing it. You need to keep practicing it. Overtime, this will help you redirect your inner energy towards constructive and empowering thoughts. We are going to the next lesson, which is modusv insightful, insightful mastery, through thought control. Insightful mastery, through thought control. How can you achieve insightful mastery using thought control? That is exactly what you want to go and take a look at. Let's go. 8. Insightful Mastery Through Thought Control : Module seven, insightful mastery, through thought control, how you can achieve insightful mastery through your thoughts control. Key concept, Insights are messengers, not dictators. Insights carry valuable information. They are signals, not commands. Feeling anger or sadness doesn't mean you must act on them. When you feel anger, when you feel something, that does not mean you must act on it. You must act on it. You understand that it does not necessarily mean you have to act on it when you are able to expand the space between your stimulus and response. In this case, anger is that stimulus. Sadness is that stimulus. So what you are going the way you are going to react and respond to the anger to sadness will depend on how large that space. Between your stimulus and reaction is between your stimulus and your response. It means you should pause and reflect on what needs attention. Of course, if you are angry and you are sad, it means something needs attention. You need to pause, calm down, relax, and reflect on what needs attention. Our thoughts trigger responses. Every insight is preceded by a thought. Whether conscious or unconscious, whether you are conscious of that thought or you are not, whether you are conscious of that insight or you are not. But the reality is that every insight is preceded by a thought. For instance, thinking I am not good enough might trigger shame or unnecessary worry. Can you see that now? Thinking I am not good enough might trigger shame for you or unnecessary worry for you. By tracing inner insight back to their thought origin, you gain control over your reactions. All you need to do is trace your insight, back to the that origin, to the trigger, to where that thought is driving its power from, to where that thought is driving the source from, to where that thot is driving its energy from, to where that thought is driving its full from. What is fueling that thought? When you are able to trace that feeling back to its source, you gain control over your reactions. Hefting insights insight full state through reframing, shifting insightful states through reframing. Changing your interpretation of an event, the thoughts, you can change how you feel, by changing your interpretation of an event, which is your thoughts. The interpretation of your thoughts, the way you perceive your thoughts, you can change how you feel. If you reframe, I failed to I learned something valuable. The statement, the thinking, the judgment of I failed. If you can reframe it to I learnt something valuable, your insightful state shift from despier to growth, just by that shift. Just by changing your perspective and understanding of what failure is, I failed to learn something valuable. You have successfully changed your insightful state from despar to growth. Managing worry, fear and anger through cognitive control. How do you manage your worry, your fear, your anger, through cognitive control. These intense insights often stem from distorted thinking.

Go back to distortions and understand then come back to this place that recognizing and neutralizing what if you are under True cognitive control. Your worry, your fear, anger, too, they are result of distorted thinking. Now, when you now understand what these distorted thinking are, you are able to label them, then it empowers you to neutralize them, which reduce their power and helps regulate your mood. Exercise, insight tracker. Step one, Step one, over the next three days, writes down insightful episodes. EG, moment of under, moment of fear, moment of sadness. Step two, for each episode, ask, what was I feeling? What thoughts triggered this insight? What power the insight? Then the third question you are going to ask, was the thought accurate or distorted? Step three, reframe the original thought into a more empowering one. Reframe the original thought into a more empowering one. Example, original thought, this is original though. They ignore me because I am boring. They ignore me because I am not handsome. They ignore, they ignore me because I am not beautiful. They ignore me because I'm not jewish, they ignore me because I don't have a job. You understand. I'm giving you an example of a distorted thinking, of a distorted thoughts. These are the way you are going to carry out the exercise. Then to reframe it, they may have been distracted. I bring value to every interaction. They may have been not that they ignored me. I want to believe they got distracted. I want to believe there is a mis up. I want to believe they forgot. I want to believe it escaped their mind because I bring value to every interaction.
