Shareable: There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so ~ William Shakespeare<\/strong><\/p>\n

We live in a world of contrast and in that experience our minds create meaning and form judgements: good-bad, right-wrong.<\/p>\n

If 80% of the time the brain focuses on what\u2019s going wrong (spiking cortisol) and 95% of the time we are subconsciously relying on programming that is 70% faulty, then feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and even burnt out is inevitable.<\/p>\n

Both Jonas Salk and Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis had their breakthroughs after they distanced themselves; spent time away from the stress of their problems. Often when we distance ourselves physically, we relax mentally. Cortisol levels drop and the success hormones become more activated. During these interesting times, we quite fortunately can practice mental distancing from the convenience and comfort of our own homes.<\/p>\n

Consider this two step power activation process for strengthening your \u2018executive\u2019 brain. Get intentional with it and make it your new habit. When you do, you’ll experience some of the powerful benefits listed below in your business and your life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And remember, just like any work out, it takes time to build muscle. Be patient. We\u2019ve lived with these programs for most of our lives.<\/p>\n

1. Recognize how often you go into self judgement or criticism. If you\u2019re too busy or distracted to recognize this within yourself at first, simply notice how often you\u2019re judging or criticizing another and it best not be this correspondence! The level to which we judge others, is the level to which we also judge ourselves. You can also take it a step further as Marcus suggests below: \u201c Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?\u201d \u2015 Marcus Aurelius<\/p>\n

2. Experience deliberate and supportive contrast:
\nInstead, of continuing to experience life from this place of uncomfortable contrast, consider getting in touch with a kinder, more benevolent part of yourself. You know, the one that does such a great job lifting others up, helping and doing for them, sometimes to the detriment of your own happiness. When you do, you\u2019ll not only feel more whole, you\u2019ll find less of a need to judge others and others will judge you less. That\u2019s called a power play under the Courageous Leadership platform.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In a recent survey I conducted, 0% percent of participants practiced saying, \u201cI love you\u201d to themselves.<\/p>\n

Powerful benefits you create when practicing mental distancing:<\/p>\n

\u2022 You strengthen the biochemistry of our success hormones thereby extending the amount of time you feel good and activating the executive brain.<\/p>\n

\u2022 You reduce that 80% focus on what\u2019s wrong and increase focus on what\u2019s working. In turn, you experience greater ease and flow in your business and in life.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The quality of your experience improves naturally.<\/p>\n

\u2022 You feel more satiated, content, even energized.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Balance and well being becomes your way of life.<\/p>\n

\u2022 You become a stronger leader, one that others want to emulate.<\/p>\n

Now you consider just what else might be possible?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
