Self Control
Self Control |
So interest in this study was revived and researchers said let's find out how are the children doing now and they discovered that those children subsequently they continued following them for the next 15 20 years they discovered one very revealing and interesting fact it was found that the children with the maximum self-control were excelling in all realms of human activity they were doing well in studies because they had self-control when the mind said this no they had better control over their tongue they were eating the proper things their health was better they were not lazy they were exercising they had far better physique they did not have chemical addictions when they worked they were sincere they were getting promoted rapidly because they could control their words they had more interpersonal harmony and those children with the least self-control they were the ones getting into all kinds of problems their bodies were out of shape because there was no control over the tongue they repeatedly had interpersonal relational conflicts because they had these fits of anger they were insincere in their studies their sat scores were far below they were repeatedly dismissed from their jobs they had chemical addictions and 12 percent of them had been to jail and come back that is when these researchers concluded that if there is one personality trait that correlates with success in every sphere of human activity it is that self-control that self-discipline that will power so we are discussing the secret to awaken your best self which is focus that isbuilt on your ability to shut off distractions with the help of self-discipline now that we know it is so important how can we develop it within ourselves there's one scientist called roger ferber he presented the technique called ferberization ferberization of babies to help them develop their self-control what is ferberization you must have heard of galvanization of steel.
You probably have heard of vulcanization of rubber tubes as well so now hear about ferberization of babies what is this fervorization it is the sleep training between the age of six months to two years what happens is when the baby cries the parents immediate responses no no no no no you should not face any problems come come come mama is here to the rescue it's all right don't cry so the baby doesn't learn to handle that stress that pain that difficulty because the parents have over insulated it so roger ferber said no resist let the baby cry for this much time on the first day and then you go and just touch it don't immediately lift the baby let the baby know you are there and then after so many minutes you lift the baby and the second day you change the timing like this so he's created a whole schedule once i was in somebody's house and nowadays as parents do they've got the video cam on their child while they are working in the other room so i said your baby is woken up and is crying so they said swamiji doesn't matter doesn't matter doesn't matter so we saw on the video cam the baby was crying and then after some time the baby stopped crying and started speaking to herself she had learned to handle the situation the self-discipline had developed it's like the muscles you exercise and they grow stronger so she faced a situation learned to cope with it from childhood, some people can develop this muscle of self-discipline.
However, most of us were not ferberized as babies what to do at this age now is it possible to develop willpower at this age as well definitely, unfortunately, let's go into the physiology of willpower see this will power comes from a portion of our brain the human brain is special amongst all the creatures in that, it is one-fiftieth of the bodyweight highest in proportion to the body weight but it's also special because it's got one feature called the prefrontal cortex that is the prefrontal lobe of the neocortex and that gives you the ability to trump means the mind says this is pleasurable the prefrontal cortex says no don't do it the mind says this is painful the prefrontal cortex test says nevertheless to do it that prefrontal cortex is very little developed in small children so they don't have that control but as you come into adolescence it starts growing bigger and bigger and bigger now this prefrontal cortex gives you the ability for self-control.
Define Self Esteem
Define Self Esteem |
You owe it to yourself to be the kind of the person you want to be to feel the energy you want to feel to have the body you want to have from doing the work you know you are capable of doing you owe it to yourself to feel the pride of knowing you've made your life you didn't get lucky you work for it you sacrifice when it was hard you pushed harder you owe it to yourself to feel that Pro bad birthday and say that was the moment that was the moment I decided no more that was the moment I decided that was the moment I said do it for you that much you owe it to yourself to be great you owe it to yourself your biggest strength in life will be the perception that you have over yourself how do you feel about yourself your self-worth what is that see confidence is the greatest asset you could ever have and that is built based on experience based on the living based on what you bring to the table you see a doctor doesn't get paid based on the amount of time that he spends on you you see a lot of people say oh you only saw me for five minutes how did this cost so much money no no you're not paying for the five minutes you're paying for everything that he brings to the table within those five minutes you're paying for the experience you're paying for all the time that he spent in school to be able to quickly diagnose what's going on with you and be able to give you the proper direction of how to get better see that's what you're paying for and so the doctor has an established worth of who he is and that is based on the amount of schooling that he went through the amount of experience that he went through the amount of preparation and everything and being able to see things through experience and so he hasn't established Worth based on his time what is your work on your time just to give you perspective a million dollars means that you are practically worth $500 an hour based on 40 hours per week So where do you see yourself because you will never be a millionaire unless you really value your time that way unless you say my time is worth $500 an hour and you have to understand that things that are eating up your time hours in the day is this activity worth $500 it's spending time with this person worth $500 see and if you want to be a deck of million you want to be a hundred you want to own hundreds of millions of dollars billionaire well that goes up exponentially so where do you see yourself that's the greatest thing so confidence is the greatest asset you can ever have and I'm not just talking about a little confidence saying yeah I'm confident okay it's the difference between watching a movie on your smartphone right with awful poor sound or watching a movie in a movie theater with this surround sound where it's rumbling and shaking where you jump right and you you're basically immerse yourself in the character and you're basically living that reality that's what that is and they've done test after test to show that the more confident you are the more yes you believe in yourself in terms of your body language it affects other people in terms of the perception of you in addition to your own self Lee so I'm not talking about little tiny detail like I'm talking a little a little description of being confident like the smartphone that's the equivalent I'm talking about immersing yourself in the tiniest little detail just like a huge movie theater to know every little quirk about yourself to be totally confident about that they've done study after study there was one study where doctors in white coats performed significantly better than doctors without white coats because it's all about the perception of yourself and so my invitation it's you is to raise your standard of who you are raise it to raise the bar get there and you could do this you can get yourself a nice watch get yourself some nice clothes dressed shocked. You will infinitely feel in certain aura about you and that gravitational pull from other people will feel better that way right they will want to do more business with you, they want to hang out with you more you're presenting energy about yourself of who you are your own self-concept you are used to a lower standard of life a lower quality of living if you accept that your subconscious knows that okay we can get by here if you do not accept that if you will not accept that life and you say my bar is here I do not settle for anything under it well guess what you won't you will reach that thought and you can only achieve these great things in the world if you truly believe you're worthy of them.
Consciousness
Consciousness |
These are my experiences those are your experiences but there is no such thing as my consciousness and your consciousness this is a living consciousness we blew our own bubble I'm sure you have that little wonderful boy who came on the screen I'm sure he's blowing soap bubbles at you sometimes so if you blow a soap bubble this is my bubble that's your bubble pop it went then there is no such thing as my bubble and your bubble there is no such thing as my hair and your air consciousness is just like this right now you have blown your bubble I have blown my bubble this is me that is you but when this goes poof there is no such thing as my consciousness and your consciousness it is just that we are holding a certain amount of if you want to call it as consciousness I would prefer to call it as life because the word consciousness as you're speaking I am saying that even last time and we spoke to all balls friends what I see wakefulness and consciousness there is no clear distinction in medical terminology see everything that you do with your anesthesia has nothing to do with consciousness it has something to do with body and various functions of the body your shutting down certain aspects of the bodily functions, one of them is transmission of pain which is the main interest when somebody is going to surgery you don't want to stop their heart you don't want to stop their brain.
You would like to see the transmission of pain stops whatever is being cut whatever damage or fixing is that is happening is happening whatever parts of the body may be being removed what is not vital maybe being pulled out all that is happening the only transmission of pain is not happening this has got nothing to do with losing consciousness and gaining consciousness there's no such thing so we're using the word wakefulness and consciousness in a little different way and not only that especially not just in medical terminology generally in the English language there is no distinction between somebody's unconscious and he became conscious and consciousness as a larger possibility so my body your body my intelligence periences your X means are all different but there is no such thing as my consciousness and your consciousness it is just that it is only the human creature on this planet who has the neurological capability and sophistication of mechanism that if they are loved it they can access this dimension of consciousness no other creature is really capable of accessing it this doesn't mean there is no consciousness in them without that the life processwouldn't happen there is there is consciousness even where there is no body all right only thing is you need a certain sophisticated instrument to access that which is the human mechanism this is why we consider being human is a great privilege because you have access to dimensions beyond your physical boundaries that is the fundamental significance of being human so let us not misunderstand the instrument and what we see if you take a telescope and see you saw another galaxy but the galaxy is not produced by the telescope the galaxy is there the telescope only gave you an excess similarly your body your brain whatever I don't want to identify different things from your hair to your toes.
Everything is the body as far as I am concerned including your brain it is just another dimension of the body so this body if we keep it in a certain way if we do not contaminate it with too many ideas philosophies identities if you keep it in a certain level of openness this will become an access point to what we are referring to as consciousness or the basis of the life that we are in a way so somebody can call it consciousness somebody can call it a being somebody says this is God well we can use as much of capillary as you want essentially we are trying to put a meaning on something which cannot be defined which has no meaning meaning is a consequence of human psychological process psychological process is a consequence of accumulated memory so you cannot slap one meaning from your mind upon a limitless possibility which is the very basis of our existence so this is what is the fundamental mistake that we are trying to take a piece of our psychological process and trying to understand what is consciousness consciousness is not something that you can understand means there must be a meaning there is no meaning to it there is no meaning to the existence it's just a tremendous phenomenon but you can experience it you have the necessary instruments to experience it not the instruments in your lab you as a person you have the necessary instrument to experience this will you allow it or not is the only question as I said in the beginning it all depends on how you are identified if your identifications are limited you have lost the ability to experience it if your identity is you know not identified with anything you kept yourself loose like that then there is a possibility of experiencing it a whole lot of people under drug-induced conditions they are claiming they experienced many things I am NOT questioning that at all it's very much possible because one thing that I have seen happening to people under the influence of alcohol or drug is they've lost their sense of identity what they think they are usually is not there in them they have become little boundary-less because of that they might have accessed a certain dimension but will that make them competent to access it whenever they want no 100% not in fact they may lose their faculties because they forced it upon chemically forced something to happen so that may not that may damage the instrument for good and you may not be able to experience anything beyond a certain point.

Internal VS External Conflicts
Internal Conflicts
Internal Conflicts |
3-Religious conflict this type of conflict can be considered as common because it has to do with beliefs by the way these are very mind oriented and this makes them very fragile topics when presented with scientific facts a person who values both their religious belief and the truth can begin to have a religious conflict, for instance, you can believe that God is a very loving God but can't bring yourself to accept that the loving God sends people to hell for eternity someone can be faithful religiously but still indulge occasionally in the use of marijuana which is recognized as a drug. 4-Political conflict political conflict is birthed when an individual is torn between the beliefs of their political party and their own personal beliefs for instance someone who believes in America may not believe in the payment of taxes you can be comfortable with a political party but frowned deeply at their approach towards the health care system you can believe in the philosophy of a political party but dislike the party propagating it.
5-Love conflict when we love someone and still want to do something that will cause them pain love conflict occurs a good example is when we have to smack our children in correction even though we love them with all of our hearts another is loving every bit of your partner but finding some of their attitudes annoying it can also be being in love with someone so much that you wish to keep them but sadly you have to let them go.
6-Self-image conflict simply put self-image is the mental idea that one has about oneself so internal conflict can arise when we're met with proof that contradicts the very things we believe about ourselves someone who views himself as honest might have to tell a lie on the resume to land their dream job a person who's very passionate about healthy eating may be neck-deep in smoking it may not want to give it up or a person who sees themself as an empath can see themselves constantly feeling resentful towards someone else.
7-Interpersonal conflict interpersonal conflict is intertwined with both love conflict and self-image conflict it's a type of conflict that arises when you're trying to program yourself to act in a certain way but you end up seeing yourself act oppositely it occurs mostly in social situations a person can hate talk about sports but will find themselves faking interest in it just to have a sense of belonging an introvert can be showing off a fake high level of energy but in the actual sense they don't have that much energy.
8-The Existential conflict this type of conflict comes about when two contrasting desires or beliefs arise when it concerns life it's normally associated with feelings of confusion and discomfort instances of this type of conflict include having desires to live life to the fullest but being unwilling to make a move or get out of your comfort zone you may hate life but find yourself loving it at the same time existential conflict can also revolve around the world, for instance, you may want so much to save the world but also believe that it's headed for doom so how to find peace of mind here are some tips that will help.
