THE MENTAL PRISON.
Jailbreak your mind with these 5 psychological frameworks:
//THREAD
1/ CONTROLLING FOCUS
Your attention is extremely valuable. It determines who you become.
I can’t pinpoint when I began to intentionally practice focusing my attention,
but every since I have my mind has been more peaceful.
If this interest you:
-do a 5M daily meditation
Build up the duration from there.
The more positive things you focus on, the less negative thoughts you will have.
Meditation builds your ability to focus overtime. Don’t expect instant results.
2/ A MANSION TAKES TIME TO BUILD
Great creations are built on a powerful reason.
Without reason, it’s impossible to persevere when you are tested. We need purpose.
Think about loved ones. Teachers, inspirations, mentors, get creative if you are looking for meaning.
Tie meaning into your life with:
-faith in the creator
-fulfilling an act of service
-NOT wasting energy invested into you
-the hunger to learn and evolve continuously
Do you have any others❔
3/ THE KNOW IT ALL IS IGNORANT
We have 2 ears and 1 mouth…
This is not a coincidence, we must use these blessings in that ratio.
This is TOUGH, but we must aim to drop our egos need to always be right.
Sometimes energy conservation is the best strategy.
Ask yourself better questions:
-what important questions am I not asking?
-what areas of my life need more attention?
The quality of your questions determine the quality of your days.
Your mind is a powerful question answering machine, but many humans ask shitty questions.
4/ DIRECT EXPERIENCE >>
Your habits are what make up the majority of your life.
These habits help me so much:
-exercising
-eating clean
-consuming intentionally
-choosing my environment
-waking up early
-daily breathing practice
-educating myself daily
No matter how great you are, negative moments are inevitable.
Each day I recognize my negative state quickly,
and I do my healthy acts to bring me back to a positive state. Not super complicated.
It begins with awareness.
5/ MENTAL VERSATILITY
Context is not to be overlooked.
If you have to kill someone that’s invading your home, you did a good deed.
Although, we know killing people is not a good thing,
In that context it’s the correct decision.
We need to train our mind to have a balance been deep thinking and practical action.
Sway too far to either extreme and you are fucked.
Write deeply. Work with your hands. Generate money. Pray daily. Show compassion. Value discipline. Build a facility. Build your mind.
