Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First

Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 244

Title:          Which Would You Rather Be - A Prisoner Or A Pioneer?

"How can I respond from a place of clarity and strength, rather than continuing to react in anger and frustration to the painful experience I was forced to live through?"

That's a question I was asked a few weeks ago by one of my Coaching Students. And I think it's such an important question that I want to briefly answer it again today, publicly. Because, this is something we all need to practice...

There are two parts to that question - respond and react

When you RESPOND from a place of clarity and strength - you are a proactive person and that makes you a PIONEER but when you REACT in anger and frustration - you are a REACTIVE person and that makes you a PRISONER

Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, pause, and consciously decide if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the present moment.

To continue to be a prisoner of the past pays no great dividends because you would always be filled with regrets, with bitterness, with anxiety over what you were unable to do then or achieve, over lost opportunities or broken relationships, you would be angry when you remember how you were treated like the scum of the earth, you would always be unhappy when you remember how you were betrayed by those you trusted fully

However, if you consciously choose to be a pioneer of the present moment and time, it means then that you would be presently minded, that you would have to change the structure and substance of your mind so that you can view things clearly and be in a position to make a better judgement or decision

In order to gain conscious control of what's really going on in your mind, you need to develop a keen awareness for this process.

What helps is to hold still for a moment, take a ten deep breaths, focus exclusively on these breaths, and free your mind of the senseless chatter that’s going on inside your head.

This makes room for a change of state, for something new to enter.

Detached from the weight of stressful thoughts and reactions you grow capable of consciously redirecting your focus.

It’s time to take it willingly away from something unchangeable that drags you down, and zero it in on something actionable that inspires you.

Focus on the next logical, meaningful step.

Remind yourself that there are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them.

In almost every case, nothing is stopping you right now—nothing is holding you back but your own thoughts about yourself and “how life is.”

You may not be responsible for everything that happened to you in the past, or everything that's happening to you right now, but you need to be responsible for undoing the thinking patterns these circumstance create.

And until you willingly and consciously accept that responsibility, you would continue to beat the band backwards.

It’s about thinking better so you can ultimately live better.

The key is to understand that no matter what happens, you can choose your response, which dictates pretty much everything that happens next.

Truly, the greatest weapon you have against anxiety, negativity and stress is your ability to choose one present thought over another—to train your mind to make the best of what you’ve got in front of you, even when it’s far less than you expected.

Yes, YOU CAN change the way you think!  And once you do, you can master a new way to be.
