Mental Doodle https://mentaldoodle.com Tue, 23 Sep 2014 19:05:49 +0000 de hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 413 Self Defense https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3217&lang=de https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3217&lang=de#respond Tue, 23 Sep 2014 19:05:49 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3217 The person ‚attacking‘ always considers attacking appropriate.

So ignore that person (!)

 

What causes you to decide to defend yourself against an attack?

Wisdom is to first determine when you are not being attacked.

 

A 5 year-old screams at you on the sidewalk as you walk by.

Is this an attack?

OK, now let’s make it a 6 year old. Is this…?

How about a 7 year old? Eight? At what year do you decide to let this situation trigger you.

How about a 17 year old? Ah, I forgot to mention, yes the 17 year old is screaming at you, from his wheelchair. Or not a wheelchair, but her parents just died yesterday, and you remind her of one of them.

 

How about if you….

Is there really some point where things change from their external attempts /stimulus, to your internal choice, desire? Why? How does that serve you?

 

Just slightly lengthen the trigger point a bit. Say to yourself, this time I’ll wait a bit longer before defending myself.

 

Certain philosophies say, “Consider the source.”  That’s useful too.

406 Desperation https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3203&lang=de https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3203&lang=de#respond Tue, 23 Sep 2014 18:32:24 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3203 There are two main conditions under which we learn:

Inspiration and Desperation.

 

Desperation, we try to avoid if possible.

So we ignore a ‚bad‘ or unwanted situation because to see where it leads is to look Desperation in the eye.

Then one day the whole thing deteriorates and you become desperate.

 

And you learn.

 

OK, so?

Why not learn before Desperation sets in. Apply pseudo-Inspiration to that situation.

Pretend to have the solution.

In fact, more than one solution.

Look at those solutions and briefly explore each.

Then set it all aside.

 

The next time this ‚Desperation‘ comes up, you’ll know exactly what to do. (!)

 

Too simple?

403 Two-Day Sets https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3197&lang=de https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3197&lang=de#respond Tue, 23 Sep 2014 18:22:03 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=3197 Tomorrow is not all that far away.

We can easily ’see‘ what tomorrow brings.

Want to call someone but afraid of bad news. Wait until tomorrow.

Need to pay a bill that’s expensive. Wait till tomorrow.

 

OK, So?

Take advantage of the fact you already use tomorrow to push things off.

But emotionally.

Worried about something, anything? Then say to yourself „Today I will Rest and Relax. Then tomorrow I will worry about it.“

Not in two or three days. Tomorrow. I clearly see nothing is going to happen until tomorrow anyways.

And this way I get a day of Rest and Relaxation.

Then, when that subject comes up again, I simply chide myself gently and say „Not today. Tomorrow.“

 

And that’s it.

EVERY time the same thing comes up in your mind, you say „Not today. Tomorrow I’ll deal with this.“ Knowing nothing will happen to make it worse in just one day, today.

Then tomorrow you do actually do what you were going to do today, even if it’s only to worry about something.

 

When you do that you have just cut down your less enjoyable time by half.

 

Of course the next day is now a new „set“ of two days. 

The first of which is Rest and Relax time. 

And the second, the normal one, full of whatever.

 

After several rounds of these Two-Day Sets, extend this concept a bit and go to a Three-Day Unit, the first TWO of which you say Not Today, tomorrow. 

And so on.

Stop Nicotine input quickly and your body now has an excess of … anti-nicotine.

Which causes a yearning for nicotine. And makes it hard-to-quit.

 

OK, so?

It’s your Compensations that force you on, that cause you to continue.

NOT the original (usually external) stimulation.

You think the thing /habit you want to change is ’stronger‘ than you.

Not so. YOU are that very resistance.

 

Now you know what to change. You (!) 

and why it’s so hard to do so.

384 Sometimes https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2877&lang=de https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2877&lang=de#respond Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:41:49 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2877 This is the magic word /concept to cause barriers to become filters.

 

Is killing never good / always bad?

The real life answer is … Sometimes.

Killing is never good:

A terrorist in a crowd, wired with a bomb that can kill many, many people.

He must be killed to prevent that from happening.

Do you save an unwed mother or her baby… or let them both die?

 

Tell-the-truth is always good:

Am I fat? Am I ugly? Are we almost there? Will it Hurt? etc.

 

Ok, so?

You can dramatically speed up your personal growth /progress by actively converting Always – Never into Sometimes.

Start with one – just one – situation and make Never become Almost Never (aka Sometimes)

or make Always become Almost Always (aka: Sometimes)

 

This really sets a tone in your mind that now allows consideration where before this no consideration was even thought relevant.

In this ever rapidly changing world previous Always and Never may simply not apply.

* Very clean

* Silent, noiseless, faster operations

* Frictionless

* More and more personalized

* Low/no cost (ie: E-mail, FaceBook, You Tube, etc.)

* Less or No moving parts (iPhone, etc.)

* Less or non-intrusive (medical)

* Consume less and less energy (Imagine over 1 Billion cars, …all electric!)

* Generate no or little heat

* Less and less Linear in operation /function No more car chases …except in movies!

* Things once available only to Governments or Institutions become hand held & almost free:

Television cameras, Memory stick /cloud storage, GPS …

OR

a smart cell phone with all these features in one teeny, tiny, hand-held, light-weight container… today!

Imagine tomorrow.

 

Ok, so?

Anything that does not automatically include the above is not the future.

Violate more than one without good reason and you are headed towards a dead end.

 

Now is the time to adjust your Future: Advice. Investments. Job. Children’s directions. Etc.

Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:

* That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.

* All sorts of things occur to help that would never otherwise have occurred.

* A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way.

Whatever you can do or dream you can do, begin it.

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Anatomist – Physicist – Historian of Science. 

Scientist – Philosopher – Geologist – Botanist

Painter – Novelist – Humanist – Dramatist – Poet

 

Goethe knew a recorded 50,000 words, twice as many as anyone else.

Each word is a different thought. Imagine the thoughts he could assemble.

Because I remind you nothing happens unless you make it happen.

 

Even Instant coffee – with 99% of the Process pre done – still has to be drunk by you.

Health drinks, too.

The doctor puts the cast on your arm but YOU do the healing.

YOU must make that crucial decision to actually, personally, individually, do it yourself.

No one else.

You.

 

Ok, so?

These Mental Doodles help best in this:

21 Interpretation My best friend and I started many crazy businesses when we were teenagers. more

24 The Wedge A wedge has two ’sides‘. One’s thin, the other, thick. Which side you use determines your results more

Others already know your lessons

and are busy learning theirs.

 

You see theirs as obvious,

but they do not.

 

Ok, so?

 

Life is:

* Meaning-less accidents

* To determine if you go to Heaven or Hell (see # 93)

* A series of Purpose-full learning experiences.

 

Your choice!

339 Three Voices https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2666&lang=de https://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2666&lang=de#respond Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:22:08 +0000 http://mentaldoodle.com/?p=2666 Here is a technique I find very useful for me.

I created three ‚voices‘ in my head:

Voice 1 always tries to agree with me

Voice 2 tries to never agree.

Voice 3 is the contrary one.

 

So if  — at noon — I make a strong statement „It is daytime now.“

Voice 1 says „Yes, of course.“

Voice 2 says „Yes.“

Voice 3 says „In some parts of the world only.“

 

And, if  — at noon — I say „It is night now.“

Voice 1 says „No.“

Voice 2 says „No.“

Voice 3 says „In some parts of the world only.“

 

This works very well when I am not sure of what my decision should be.

I simply make a strong statement and then listen.

Having Three Voices, each with their particular point-of-view, almost always gives me insight and clarifies the situation.

 

Try it!
