Bullying Then And Now – A Look Back 40 Years Later
I feel privileged to have an audience and a voice that allows me to reach out and connect with the masses and those who know me are aware that I don’t take that blessing lightly. Today, I would like to take advantage of my virtual reach and share a story in hopes that it will touch you or reach the eyes of someone you know who may need to read it.
It’s a story of hope, perseverance and success as told through the eyes of someone who has “made it,” (as society often terms it) but will never forget where I came from. Today life is grand – a wonderful loving husband, 2 amazing beautiful children and a full-time RVing lifestyle that suits our every desire and more.
40 years ago, however, as a child who was the victim of bullying (a label that didn’t even exist way back then) life wasn’t always so rosy…
Why Setting Goals May Prevent You From Reaching Your Dreams
I read an anonymous quote the other day on Facebook that simply said, “You’ll never achieve your dreams if they don’t become goals.” And while I understand the intent of this statement is to underscore the importance of setting tangible goals and remaining focused on attaining them, I couldn’t disagree more with the quote itself.
In fact, I would put forth that embracing this quote will actually thwart you from successfully achieving your coveted end results.
What Is Spiritual Bypassing
Ouch, it really hurts, wails a child accompanied by traumatized screaming and tears. In an effort to seek help and escape the claws of excruciating pain, humans will do most anything.
Since our earliest and formative years humans have sought every and any venue to avoid pain. It is a survival mechanism and primal dictate in the preservation of the human species. The latest venue on the menu of avoidance is spiritual bypassing.
What Is Self Hypnosis
The word hypnosis conjures up different feelings for many people. Some picture a person moving and squawking like a duck after being hypnotized, others believe it is a sham, while some believe it is mind control.
Self hypnosis is simply working with your subconscious mind to bring about the desired behavior, goals and changes necessary to accomplish whatever you want.
Hypnosis Myths
Occult, religion, magic, supernatural, hypnosis is not. Shaman, medicine man, witch doctor, wizard, prophet, high priest, sorcerer, satanist, enchanter, necromancer, seer, the hypnotist practitioner is not.
There are more false concepts accepted about hypnotism by the multitudes today, than the truth of what the science actually is.
Hypnosis Techniques
Evolution is about adaptation and natural selection. Hypnosis techniques have evolved in adapting to the different personality, character traits , and learning style of individuals.
There was a time that hypnotists believed one modality was suitable for all, just as pedagogues perceived that one learning style was sufficient for the masses. If a student had a problem with the learning process then it was their deficiency, not the educational system.
It used to be accepted theory that some were susceptible to trance like states while others were not. Today this belief is a proven myth.
Do You Control Your Behavior?
You see it all the time, a family member sits in front of the TV and soon is lost to a media induced trance. Eyes glazed, inhibited listening skills, a state of brain mush, or sleep may prevail. It seems they have lost control of their awareness.
Whenever you are deeply relaxed or intensely focused, the brain waves have been lowered into an alpha state quieting the conscious mind. All energy moves to the right brain.
