“How is whatever I am perceiving to be happening to me today helping me fulfil what's most important to me?” If you ask that question and be accountable to answer it, you'll tend to see how your life is ‘on the way’ and how everything is happening FOR you, not TO you. As a result, you are more likely to be in the flow, in tune, on time, and on target with what's meaningful to you. You will also tend to experience less distress and ageing, and more vitality and inspiration as a result. #humanbehavior #inspireddaily #loveandwisdom

Authenticity is a path of mastery because the magnificence of who you truly are is far greater than all the fantasies you’ll ever impose on yourself. When you’re not living by the highest priority, you are likely to feel unfulfilled. You direct your blood, glucose, and oxygen to go into your amygdala, the subcortical part of your brain, which tries to avoid predator and seek prey, avoid pain and seek pleasure, and look for immediate gratification and compulsive behaviors. This is not life mastery. When you live according to your highest values or top priorities, your blood, glucose and oxygen go into your forebrain, or prefrontal cortex, which is the executive center of your brain. So, any time you fill your day with the highest priority actions and do what is most important, meaningful and inspiring in your life, you wake up the part of your brain involved in inspired vision, strategic planning, objectivity, execution of plans, and self-governance. In other words, when you live by your highest priority and feel fulfilled doing what you really love to do, you move along the path of self-actualization. #humanbehavior #inspireddaily #meditationpractice

Every habit, no matter how detrimental you perceive it to be on the surface, serves a conscious or unconscious purpose. That habit that you may find challenging to break most likely meets a need or fulfills a desire, often linked to your deepest fears, insecurities, or unmet needs. Acknowledging this doesn't mean condoning the behavior but rather bringing it to the surface and understanding it. Consciously or unconsciously, you are perceiving that there's more advantage than disadvantage in doing that behavior, or you wouldn't be doing it. This can be challenging for people who have bought into the story that they are powerless in the face of temptation, weak, undisciplined, procrastinative and unmotivated. Hearing that they likely are continuing with that habit because that habit is serving them in some ways, can be a lot to wrap their brains around but liberating when they do. So, instead of viewing them solely as behaviors to be eradicated, it is wise to see them as indicators of deeper needs and drives. This involves taking a deep dive into your hierarchy of values, getting clear on what intrinsically drives you, and any conscious or unconscious benefits you’re getting from the habit you’re trying to shift. #humanbehavior #habits #successhabits

I'm certain that you can do something extraordinary and solve massive problems in the world. You just may not yet have given yourself permission to do it. Perhaps now is the perfect time to begin! Ask yourself: what is the highest priority action you can do today that will serve the greatest number of people with the resources you have today, in the most effective and efficient manner? Do that daily and stick to the highest priorities of the highest priorities of the highest priorities so you can initiate or awaken your unborrowed vision. An unborrowed visionary has COURAGE. Courage means “from the heart”. When you're living authentically, you're living in your heart and doing what you love. You're inspired by it and you’re likely to WANT to solve the problems you believe will help you progress towards your inspired goals. #humanbehavior #inspireddaily #loveandwisdom

The ultimate lesson of family life is not about seeking happiness, but rather about becoming authentic, embracing both sides of life, learning to be conscious of the fullness and abundance, and recognizing that nothing is missing. Aiming for a reality that only embraces one side and not both is a recipe for feeling incomplete and discontented. This can also lead to attempts at changing others to fit your ideal, overlooking the fact that everyone operates according to their own set of values. Instead, one of the keys to harmonious living is recognizing and respecting the differing values within your family by finding ways to communicate YOUR highest values in a manner that aligns with THEIR highest values. This approach facilitates a sustainable, fair exchange. Every challenge within the family dynamic serves as a lesson in achieving this balance, encouraging you to explore how the dedication of family members to their own paths supports your own pursuits, and vice versa. By adopting this mindset, you’ll likely discover that there is no need to “fix” anyone; instead, you can learn the art of communicating in a way where they perceive they’re winning and you perceive you’re winning equally. That is what life is about, and your family dynamics can help teach you that. #humanbehavior #appreciateothers #mindfulliving

Rapid-Fire Question and Answer with Dr Demartini: Your Question: “I’m feeling unfulfilled by the work I’m doing with my clients. It’s the same story week after week. What do you suggest I do?” #humanbehavior #empoweringyourlife #beempowered

The many disappointing outcomes occurring when setting and achieving goals can stem from unrealistic expectations. Whenever you aren't living by priority or congruently with your highest values, and you end up trying to live by lower values, your blood, glucose and oxygen go into your amygdala, where you are likely to end up being distracted by trying to avoid pain and seek pleasure. As such, you will likely subjectively bias your interpretation, distort your reality, and set goal deadlines that are too fast or too slow. One of the wisest things to do is to make sure that your goal is really, really important to you. It is wise not to waste your time on goals that aren't truly highest in priority and meaningful to you because if you do, you'll tend to have volatilities, outer distractions, self-depreciation and end up less likely to achieve them. #humanbehavior #goalsetter #goalsettingtips

Life has both sides, ‘positive’ and ‘negative’, and they exist simultaneously. When you embrace both sides of life you maximize your appreciation for yourself and other people. ALL events have two sides and are ultimately balanced and serve. Imbalances don’t truly exist except in the minds of those unwilling to see both sides of life. Most people will go through their entire lives in a futile attempt to get one side without the other. When you know that so called ‘bad’ things aren’t so terrible and the so called ‘good’ things aren’t so terrific, you can be quietly grateful for whatever occurs. Balance is neither pessimism nor optimism. Balance is being aware of both sides and how they ultimately serve. #humanbehavior #balanceiskey #loveandwisdom
