Acceptance is the key to self improvement…

Imagine you’re going to take a trip to Los Angeles and you’re planning to set off from Houston.

You get your map ready, plan your route and set off, but it turns out that you were actually in New York the whole time.

How quickly do you think you’re going to get confused and lost?

Your self improvement journey is exactly the same!

If you don’t accept where you are now, then you are never going to be able to properly and accurately plan your road to self improvement and recovery. By not accepting how much help you need, you will most likely end up trying to rush your progress and get completely derailed.

So today, I want to look at the journey to self improvement and why it’s so key to fully and completely accept your current situation and restrictions, so that you can have a fruitful and properly planned road to your mental recovery.

You can choose to be happy? SCREW YOU!

WHY DON’T YOU CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY?

This is probably a phrase that you have heard time and time again.

I’ve been through bouts of depression and serious anxiety, but whenever I tried to talk about it with anyone, people would often ask why am I living like that. Why aren’t I choosing to be happy?

The question is insulting. If we could choose to be happy, then why would anyone live any other way?

Why would we have depression, sadness, a worldwide mental health epidemic, if being happy was as simple as flipping a switch?

And it’s this subject that I want to touch on today and discover how we can work out a way towards happiness, if it isn’t simply a choice to be made.

Head into the storm of your emotions…

It’s natural to want to run from your problems and your fears.

But I’m going to say something that will sound ridiculous. Something very out of the ordinary.

I think that you need to start heading into the storm of your emotions. Next time you have a terrible trauma or response, I don’t want you to avoid it and get through it.

I want you to face it head on and truly engage in the emotions you’re feeling. Because I believe and swear by the Emotional Trigger Method, that this is the only way to begin truly healing from your emotional traumas.

Here’s why positive affirmations and mantras don’t work…

Most of us have tried those special mantras and positive affirmations to help us improve our lives.

While so many self-help teachers and books will tell you that positive affirmations are a great way to improve yourself, I have some bad news.

Behavioural research shows that they rarely ever work and the reason is simple. There are often underlying unconscious feelings and traumas that are holding you back, which no positive messaging is going to change.

But it’s not all negative. Positive affirmations DO WORK for a small percentage of people straight away. Listen to the audio for more details.

It’s wall-to-wall arseholes out there…

One of my favourite writers Stewart Wilde once said: “Thank you lord for sending me wall-to-wall assholes, I’m gonna learn so much about myself”.

This is the basis of today’s episode. I want to discuss the wall-to-wall assholes that you most likely have in your own life, and explore how the things that you hate in others can teach you so much about yourself.

Life is a mirror and it’s time to take a good look…

There’s a very popular concept in psychology called the Mirror. It’s the idea that all our thoughts and feelings about the world are simply a mirror of what we think and feel about ourselves.

In this episode, I want to explore your own personal mirror. The reflection that you are projecting onto the world, that is affecting every thought you have.

And today, we’re especially going to look at how your negative feelings towards others might just be a mirror into the things that you dislike about yourself and how you can go about changing them.

How can I stop taking my baggage into my new relationships?

Trying not to bring emotional baggage from past relationships into new ones is one of the most common issues that we see when doing our EMT sessions.

Whether it’s a new romantic relationship or a friendship, it can be hard to let the past go and truly learn to trust someone again after being hurt by someone.

But assuming that every new relationship will be the same as your old ones and letting the treacheries of the past cloud your judgment today is the quickest way to get in the way of your potential future happiness.

It’s unfair on your new partner and it’s self-destructive, so let’s take a look at how we can save you from a lifetime of pain, based on past hurts.

They upset me! (And other excuses you’re telling yourself)…

Following on from yesterday’s episode, I want to talk about how shifting the blame when you get upset can help you deal with the negative people in your life.

“They Upset Me”. It’s something I hear all the time, especially from my own kids, but it’s a phrase that is so quick to blame the other party and put them at fault.

Now I want you to think of it, not as they upset YOU, but that “YOU were upset by something that they said”. Do you see the difference. One is someone else’s fault, and in the second example, you take responsibility for your own emotional reaction.

And taking responsibility for your own reactions can do wonders in giving you a thicker skin and helping you move past the insults of others, to become truly self improved and independent.

Time to be honest…It is NOT your fault!

It’s Not Your Fault! It Just Isn’t!

We have been constantly told it’s our fault. We live in a blame culture now. You see it at work and at home. Maybe we blame others, or we are always being blamed for things that go wrong.

I know I have done it. Maybe you have too?

In this episode, I want to explain how it’s not your fault, you aren’t to blame for the things you do or say but how you can flick the switch, with a simple mindset shift to start to feel better and begin or continue your journey to a better you.
