3 Toxic Behaviors And Habits That ROB You Of Energy

3 Toxic Behaviors And Habits That ROB You Of Energy

Every person has certain behavior patterns and habits that are, in some way, toxic for the overall quality of life. One of the crucial things (in the context of maximizing life quality), is to recognize those habits and work on them.

Without further ado, allow us to share some of the more common toxic behaviors and habits, which can be found in the majority of the population

#1 Excessive Need For External Validation

Many people do things and make themselves look in certain ways, just to be perceived better by their peers. This is without a doubt one of the most toxic habits on the list, as it deprives you from genuine energy and relationships with people.

When we think about what other people have to say, this mainly results in our focus going more towards the outside, rather than the inside. This in turn leads to us feeling like we always have to meet other people’s expectations, instead of prioritizing our own opinions and needs.

#2 Self-Induced Guilt Tripping

Each and every one of us, at one point goes through unpleasant experiences, which lead to bad emotions. In many instances, those emotions unfold into a flurry of guilt-tripping, where you blame yourself for one or more mistakes you made.

Much like anything else, the feeling of guilt won’t be too toxic for you if it only happens every now and then, but the constant existence in the pool of guilt will, in fact ruin you. When you focus on what you did wrong and what could’ve been if you did a different thing, you basically rob yourself of all your energy that can help you do more in the future.

Without a doubt, this is a toxic habit that has taken over many people’s lives.

#3 Pessimistic mindset

One of the most toxic thought patterns is that of the pessimistic mindset – something that robs many of us of opportunities and action. Now, we are not trying to make you feel guilty for being negative about things… It was not your choice to think that way in the first place!

Such mindsets are developed throughout early childhood so technically, you took that from someone else. Even more so, the brain is generally wired to expect the WORST, so that it can prepare for whatever comes its way…

Nevertheless, this function of the brain is no longer as viable in the modern-day big cities, where opportunities (and not predators) are around every corner. Rewire your brain and look not just into the negatives, but also the possible positives and solutions of the given problem.

Conclusion

Many of us hold a variety of thought/behavior patterns and habits, which manifest into our reality only to make it worse than it was. Without a doubt, many of those are just a chapter of the story you keep telling yourself and it seems as if that is the only truth.

Because it seems that way, you act upon it, without even recognizing it as something toxic. If you want your overall quality of life to improve, work on recognizing those thoughts and habits which rob you of your creative power and work your way through them!

Stay woke.

Wishing Into Existence

Part 2 – The Metaphysical Nature Of The Law Of Attraction

In the first article of this series, we learned that wishing things into existence is not just something magical. Rather, it is very intricately connected with your brain and its functions – In a way, wishing things into existence relates to your beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

This is where you have to start first.

By changing your beliefs, you influence the sequence of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that lead to your desired future on a physical level.

But then again, there are things that happen seemingly outside of you once you internally conform to the desired reality. These things are what we refer to as… You guessed it – “coincidences”!

The question is, do coincidences exist or are we just using that word to make sense of the unknown reality that happens once we start tapping into the potential of the law of attraction?

The Secret

The Law of Attraction has become a popular topic in the past decade and even has a very popular book behind it, named “The Secret.”

Many people have read that and other books about the law and even practiced visualization techniques to attract their desired future into their lives. But there are many misconceptions about the Law, which might be why some people don’t get results when using it.

The Heart & Brain

One of the most common misconceptions about the law of attraction is that visualization is the key to achieving your desired future.

And while it is undoubtedly a part of the process, visualization is not really the entirety of ‘the secret.’ It has been suspected that wishing things into existence is not just a matter of tuning your thoughts, beliefs, and actions into your future, but doing it for your energy field, as well. By “energy field,” we don’t mean a mystical aura with no actual scientific proof of existence.

We imply the energy field used by certain medical practitioners to measure the function of the brain and the heart.

“Wait, what?! The brain and the heart have a FIELD around them…?”

Yes, that’s absolutely right! And it makes sense because the body works with electrical signals, and every electrical signal has an electromagnetic field around it.

The Missing Link

With the above said in mind… Did you know that the heart has a stronger magnetic field than the brain? And did you also know that the heart has its own brain-like cells that function the same way as the ones in the brain? This implies that both the brain and the heart hold their very own memories and emotions. Even more so, it appears that the heart holds the strongest of emotions and may just channel them, to enhance your field … And attract the like!

The missing link, in this case, is the emotion, which you add up with the visualization to create your dream reality.

Do Your Work & Surrender

When you are trying to wish things into existence, you must accept that your human nature that wants an explanation for everything just may not work in your favor.

Instead, what you have to do is tune in your brain and heart, follow up with them, and surrender to the chance that your desired reality will come in the least expected way, but you will be there at just the right time.

Here’s how it works:

Visualize & FEEL your desired future

This first step allows you to see & experience your desired future ahead of time as if it had already happened.

Since emotions are usually generated after an event has already occurred, a pre-generated emotion ahead of time may trick the brain into believing that the future has already happened.

Therefore, the thoughts, feelings, and emotions you’ll have after that fine-tuning will be oriented solely towards achieving your goal.

Surrender!

Once you take care of your part, which is to tune your brain and heart to feel and act as if your desired future has already occurred, it’s time to… Surrender.

Surrender to all the possible ways in which your wish may come into existence.

Don’t try to frame, predict and force it into existence.

Do your part and let the universe do the rest because when you do, that unknown, unfamiliar future that you’d otherwise try to predict and create will surprise you in unexpected ways.

Final Thoughts

The law of attraction is a metaphysical concept that suggests you can attract things into your life by focusing on them.

This idea has been around for centuries, but it’s recently gained popularity in the last few years thanks to its use by celebrities and social media influencers.

However, this belief system is not without skeptics who wonder if it may be just another fad or scam looking to make money off people’s hopes and dreams.

One thing is for sure, though – Manifestation is an intimate connection between you, your brain, your heart, thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and… A tiny bit of help from the universe.

Focus on YOUR part and create the future of your dreams. Here and now.

Wishing Things Into Existence

Part I – Priming The Brain

We all know of the law of attraction – positive and negative thoughts bring correspondingly good and bad experiences. This, in essence, means that whatever you manifest into the world, the same type of thing you’ll end up finding in the world around you. What you probably didn’t know is that you can use your brain’s powerful abilities to make sure this works in your favor. In this series, we explain how and why this works both on a personal and universal level.

So without further ado, let’s get to it already!

First Steps

Alright, alright, before you jump right into becoming a warlock who turns around just to see his 1-second old thought manifested, there are some logical things to do.

Let’s have a look at the baby steps everyone should take when considering to develop the skill of wishing things into existence.

#1 Figure Out What You Want

In order to get anywhere, first, you need a destination. Although this seems self-explanatory, many people aren’t all that sure as to what they really want. This is by no means is a bad state because it allows you to achieve pretty much anything. However, to actually fulfill any sort of journey, you first have to know where you currently are and where you want to go. Try asking yourself what some of the core things that make you happy are – they might be places, activities, people, qualities you have.

The list is endless. Don’t limit yourself either with quantity or size here – daring to dream of something is the only possible path to obtaining it. For example, if NASA had worried about how far the moon actually is, Neil Armstrong would have probably never set off, let alone land. And just look at where we are now! Remember that limits primarily exist in your mind and nowhere else.

#2 Identify Ways To Achieve Your Dreams

Once you’re sure you’ve set a goal (or ten;), you can then move on to the next step.

It’s essential to look at the big things first. If you’re planning a vacation, you tend to first figure out where you’ll sleep and how you’ll get there and then worry about parking spaces and restaurant reservations. The same rules apply for any sort of plan – you make sure you have the basics down, and only then do you start sussing out the details. Personally, I find it really useful to write down my initial core ideas because it helps me visualize them easier and see my strengths and weaknesses.

However, if this doesn’t sound like your type of thing, it is in no way necessary.

#3 Believe That You’re Capable Of Anything

Some of you might find this part tricky, but it’s crucial to progress. The moment you trust you can do something, you can hold yourself accountable and start working towards it.

Think about it – if you need something done, you rely on the people that you believe can actually achieve it, not the ones you doubt could manage.

The same thing applies to you personally – if you trust your own abilities, you know the goal is possible, and therefore you’re responsible for its successful fulfillment.

The important word here, “responsible”, may sound a bit scary at first, but it’s a part of the means which get you to your destination.

As an added bonus, the sense of fulfillment once you’ve done something you held yourself accountable for is much sweeter than pretty much any other feeling in the same ballpark.

How The Magic Happens

Alright, so you have all these things aligned in your brain, but how and when does the magic happen?

Let’s have a look!

The Brain Wants To Prove Itself Right

When you have formulated a statement, your brain’s innate desire is to prove it correct. This means that it will do everything in its power to get you to that specific point. And, this happens both consciously and subconsciously and is a process on which certain evolutionary improvements have occurred.

Strengthening The Connections Between Certain Neurons

The easiest way to explain this is through neurological connections. “Neurons that fire together, wire together” is the simplified explanation of this phenomenon. Picture this as one neuron being responsible for the statement and the other for the action itself.

The stronger their connection, the easier the process – this means that by repeating the statement and supporting it with small activities, which prove it right, more significant positive outcomes will be much more attainable.

Fight Alongside Instead Of Against Yourself

Once your brain is working in the right direction, it is pretty much impossible to experience any form of self-sabotage. Everything is simpler, faster, and more enjoyable when the connection itself between affirmation and action has become a fact. This also means that you will grow to recognize and appreciate any progress, which will build up your self-esteem and allow you to aim higher and achieve bigger goals.

It’s basically a positive feedback loop, which you, yourself, program inside your brain. Priming your brain with the right ideas is essential to getting yourself to where you want to be.

Final Thoughts

However it is one of the two main parts responsible for the success of the process. In the following article, we tackle how the rest of the outside world conforms to that to create your personal vision. The entire universe can work in your favor and how this happens is incredibly curious. With that in mind, we invite you on an adventure far bigger than us as individuals, but one that is still aimed at improving each of us separately and more to the point, one in which we steer the ship.

And so, are you ready to have a look at the more metaphysical aspect of this?

The Two Mindsets_ Competition VS Co-Operation Part 2

The Two Mindsets: Competition VS Co-Operation Part 2

Traits Of Competitive People & Why You Should Rather Rely On Compassion

People are always thinking about competition. Whether it’s at their workplace or in their personal lives, people always want to be the winner.

This competitive mindset is present not just in the world of sports but beyond it, as well.

Though effective in some regards, this mindset has its drawbacks that can lead to suboptimal results both personally and professionally.

Instead of constantly seeking ways to beat others, we should learn how to cooperate with our peers for a greater chance of success than if we were trying alone.

Nevertheless, in some instances, the competitive mindset has its applications and may, in some cases, bring out the best in you!

And so, are you ready to learn more about the mind? Then, let’s jump straight into it!

Traits Of A Winner

As we just mentioned, many people (especially in corporate environments) are highly competitive individuals looking to be the shark in the small tank of fish.

From the moment they wake up to the moment they sleep, they’re constantly thinking about how to beat everyone else that is around them.

Following this train of thought, we can conclude that the main traits of people that have adopted the competitive mindset are:

Egocentrism

As we just mentioned, competitive people are focused mainly on the win, and nothing else matters for them, really!

This implies that such individuals are highly egocentric, meaning that they focus primarily on the self.

Determination

Perhaps one of the most positive things about being highly competitive is the determination to achieve set goals.

Competitive people are not deterred by obstacles and will often go above and beyond to make sure they come out on top.

As mentioned, this determination can be seen as a positive trait, as it can help them achieve great things in a personal aspect.

High levels of energy

High levels of determination imply high energy levels because, well, a winner has to do whatever it takes to come out on top!

This restlessness and borderline hyperactivity are perhaps among the most obvious traits that can tell you a person is more inclined towards the competitive mindset rather than the cooperative one.

Being Competitive – The Side Effects

Okay, as we learned, some people have a naturally competitive nature.

They thrive in the face of competition and love to see their opponents fall.

But they may not realize that this mindset is actually a detriment to success because it can lead them to do less than ethical things to win.

Even more so, this type of person also has trouble understanding why others reject what they want at all times and will often be very dismissive or even aggressive if someone does not agree with them.

In short, competitiveness can create enemies out of friends and discourage friendships from forming in the first place.

It also makes you more likely to become an egotistical bully who tries too hard for validation and does not know when enough is actually enough.

Integrating The Competitive Side

As we mentioned already, the competitive mindset isn’t to be excluded completely.

Instead, one must learn how and when to utilize the competitive mindset and when to properly use the cooperative one.

What this means is that the competitive mindset too can be useful in certain instances.

When competing in a race, for example, a competitive mindset can be beneficial.

It can help you focus on your goal and push yourself to achieve it, with high levels of energy and determination.

This is just one example of a situation where the competitive mindset can be helpful.

However, outside of actual competitions where a winner is announced and you have opponents, well, the competitive mindset isn’t really useful.

Because most of our life depends on inevitable communication with other human beings, it is best to go beyond the ego, wants, and needs and focus on compassion & cooperation.

Compassion & Cooperation

Unlike the competitive one, the cooperative mindset is beneficial in many different regards.

When we approach life with a cooperative mindset, we are able to see the world through a more compassionate lens.

We are also better able to connect with others, forming meaningful and lasting relationships.

Additionally, the cooperative mindset allows us to be more effective and productive employees, team members, and leaders.

We are better able to work together towards common goals, and we are more likely to achieve them.

Following that train of thought, we can conclude that the main traits of cooperative people are:

Compassion
Generosity
Borderline selflessness
Tolerant
Helpful
Empathy

And in most cases, that is better than egoism, intolerance, callousness, unhelpfulness, and vengefulness.

Final Thoughts

All in all, it is not always about winning and achieving your desired, ego-related goals (i.e. coming out on top above everyone else).

The cooperative mindset leads to a more harmonious and peaceful world, while the competitive one is more likely to create boundaries between humans.

For this exact reason, we should remember that life isn’t a death-match, free-for-all game, really.

Think of life as a co-op game, seek out YOUR best team and see what you, together, can do towards a common goal!

Be compassionate. Be cooperative. Spread love and care.

The Two Mindsets – Competition VS Cooperation

The Two Mindsets – Competition VS Cooperation

Which Mindset Can Get You Further In The Game Of Life?

Mindset, mindset… And mindset again! Oh, the wonders it does.

Would you describe yours as a competitive or cooperative mindset?

Well, in case you are anything like me, the answer varies.

For example, in school, I was always very competitive with my grades, and to this day, I still am.

But when it comes to friendships and other types of relationships (hint: especially business ones), I believe that it’s crucial for us all to cooperate so we can be of mutual benefit.

The two mindsets may seem different, and as if you are bound to just one, but truth be told, they both serve a purpose, and the key is knowing which one is needed at certain points in our lives!

Sometimes we need to be more competitive because it brings out our best qualities and pushes us to succeed, whereas other times, we need cooperation because of relationships we have with others who will help us get where we want.

In this article, we’ll discuss both mindsets and their main characteristics, and in the second part of the series, we’ll tap into the more practical question – Which one should you abide by?

And so, are you ready? Let’s read!

Survival Of The Fittest

In 1859, Charles Darwin published “On the Origin of Species,” which was a great advancement to the idea of the “survival of the fittest.”

He was one of the first people to continue developing this theory that had been previously proposed and, in this case, extended by none other but Mr. Darwin himself.

The ways in which Charles Darwin’s views on evolution have contributed to how it is currently understood can be seen in many areas, but there was one main, more important point that his theory made.

The point is that nature is all about competition – It’s either I eat you, or you eat me.

According to the theory of evolution, survival is based on how fit you are for the environment you live in.

If you’re not fit enough, you’ll get consumed by the fitter, stronger species in your environment.

And well, looking at nature, that does make sense in some ways.

Perhaps, this theory is what instilled in people the belief that life nowadays, too, is a game of “survival of the fittest” – This is what gave rise to the so-called competitive mindset.

What Exactly Is The Competitive Mindset?

The competition mindset is all about winning.

It doesn’t matter if you win by stealing, cheating, or just being better than the other person.

The point is that you win, and that’s it!

There are no second-place winners in this game of survival of the fittest.

This type of thinking has been around for a long time because it makes sense for people to want to be on top and stay there.

After all, we’re living in a society where success equals power.

But while striving to be number one may work sometimes, it can also lead people down a dark road which will only end up hurting them in the end.

Hint: If you eat everyone on your way to the top, you’d have no one to celebrate with?

So what should we do, is the question here?

Well, let’s take a look at cooperation…

The Cooperative Mindset

The cooperative mindset is about working together to accomplish a common goal.

This type of thinking has been around for many centuries, and it’s not just limited to humans – Animals also engage in cooperation.

In fact, different types of cooperation can very well be observed, even in nature where it’s considered that everything is competition-based!

But what does this have to do with success, one may ask?

Well, it’s pretty simple – Having a cooperative mindset means that you’re willing to work with other people and put aside your personal goals for a while for the sake of achieving a collective one.

In other words, if you’re looking for success, then don’t forget that it can’t live outside of healthy relationships!

After all, there’s no real meaning behind the word “success” if it’s being used without a single reference to helping other people reach their goals as well.

Yes, many people consider themselves a “one-man army,” but in reality, you are never really alone.

If you feel like you’ve achieved something entirely by yourself, odds are you fail to realize and give credit to the side contributors to your success. (even if they’re passive)
