How To Stop Overthinking Everything And Find Peace Of Mind

By M-Power

You will either run your mind or your mind will run you. If you have to choose between those two, which one do you want? To run your own mind, you have to know a little bit about how it operates. Metacognition is a made-up word, in psychology all it means is thinking about thinking. I want you to notice that you can do this. Because as you think about your own thinking, we create a little space, and in that space is where choice exists. This will be really important in our strategy to stop overthinking everything and experience some peace. Metacognition, thinking about thinking, turn that on for a moment and I’m going to walk you through a little exercise. I got this idea from a book that I’ve been reading called, “The Power Of Now,” by Eckhart Tolle. It’s an amazing, profound book that helps us to…

How To Stop Hating Yourself

By M-Power

It’s kind of sad actually that there are enough people looking for this that we need to address it. My job here is to illuminate some things. I want you to notice some things. I am NOT here to tell you how to think. But I do want you to notice that you are thinking and this is going to change some things for you. Let’s dig into the psychology behind that and see what we might be able to discover. This was first brought to my attention through Eckhart Tolle. He’s a philosopher and an author and he wrote a book called The Power Of Now, which I really enjoyed. In that book, he shared a time that he was going through in his own life where he was dealing with some self-hatred, which is kind of weird when you think about it. He pointed this out. He got…

Understanding And Fixing Low Self-Esteem

By M-Power

Let’s take on the understanding of low self-esteem first. One of my college professors was a leading researcher in this field. Dr. Richard Bednar and his colleagues did a landmark study back in the 80’s that was published by the American Psychological Association that shook up what we knew about self-esteem. We used to think that it was based on achievement or having people treat us in a way that built us up. That’s not what they found. These researchers found that self-esteem is based primarily on one factor, seeing yourself taking on hard things. Think about that for a minute. It’s not even whether you succeed in taking on those hard things. It’s simply seeing yourself take on hard things. Conversely, low self-esteem was correlated with seeing yourself running away from hard things, or an avoidant pattern. That takes a toll on self-esteem. There are a lot of paradoxes…

How To Control Your Thoughts

By M-Power

Honestly, I don’t know if you can control your thoughts. Let’s do a little test. Let’s just try this out. Think about bananas. Think about the color, texture, and taste of bananas. Imagine what they look like, what they feel like. You got it? Okay, step 2. Do not think about grapefruit. You know the round ones that are sour and they kind of squirt you in the eye when you stick a spoon in them? Do not think about grapefruit. How are you doing? Oh! You’re thinking about grapefruit, aren’t you? I told you not to. What’s wrong? Well, can you control your thoughts? Notice it’s not too hard to intentionally think about something on purpose. It’s really hard to intentionally not think about something on purpose. There are so many triggers in our environment. I can be driving down the freeway in my car and suddenly I’m thinking…
