7 POWERFUL MIND HACKS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE




For the past two decades, I've been devoting a good amount of time understanding how much people beliefs trap them into faulty thinking about themselves and the world around them. 

In some way, we all anchor in our life our deepest beliefs and what we assume to be the truth. It makes our existence easier, more predictable. Safer. 

But the world is not a predictable place. While facing adversity, we might be more prepared if we challenge some of our deepest dysfunctional or limiting beliefs and exercise our brains by generating alternatives, specially those that do not come natural to us.

If you are comfortable with your settled brain, you do not need to read my posts anymore. Thank you for baring with me until this point. But if you want to be challenged to perceive yourself and the world differently, then come with me on this journey. Because if you do not hack your brain, someone else will!

For the next seven weeks, I will publish each week a detailed description of the mind hacks titled above. Hope you enjoy this ride as much as I did preparing it for you!

1. GRAVITY PROBLEMS. Problems that are not problems but a circumstance of your live

  We all know what will happen if I decide to jump off a cliff. Gravity will take care of the rest. Unfortunately I will not fly. Even though human beings came up with brilliant solutions for flying, we did not grow wings in our bodies. I did a reality check with sky diving. It was not flying but the most spectacular, fastest and safer fall ever! Having a body that does not allow me to fly it is not a problem. But a circumstance of my life. We all know people that find themselves miserable about complaints related with a colleague, the spouse, the boss, being over weight, smoking addiction, choices overload, no choices or chronic diseases. Not to mention things that have happened to them in the past. It feels like there is always a complaint about something. Often times, they have done nothing to change it.  The fact is that we cannot solve a problem we are not willing to have. If it is not in our power to change it - like gravity - or if we are not willing to do anything abou...

7. WHY ME? PLAYING THE VICTIM

  Were you taught as growing up that bad things happen to bad people? If you do something wrong or misbehave, something bad will happen to you. You will be punished. If this was part of your education, you might believe that if something bad happens, you might have done something to deserve it. On the other hand, if you feel like you are well behaved and did nothing wrong, you might believe that you do not deserve whatever bad thing is happening to you. Why me? This is the daily life of a victim. And we have all been there.  Playing the victim rarely gets anyone what they want and ultimately, friends, family or coworkers will be pushed away. The victim will complain about complaining and then complain that they can't stop complaining. The place of a victim is an easy one to get into and a hard one to get out of. The "why me" victim style comes with this feeling that what you are going through is unique and it only happens to you. The truth is that everyone at any given ti...

2. THE STORIES YOU TELL YOURSELF. The stories you choose to hold on shape your life.

  I am an orienteering athlete and a trail runner. I have started running occasionally by the age of 12 and kept going until today. I am 48 now. Ever since, I have been running at the same pace. I evolved by taking longer and more challenging distances and courses - like adventure races and ultra trails - and working harder. What I thought hard work was, considering the mindset I've had at the time.  The thing is I did not evolve at all about my running pace. Because I was convinced that I am a slow runner. I have also convinced myself that my strength came from enduring for several hours, day or night or in extreme weather conditions. These are some of the stories I have told myself for over 3 decades. Four years ago, I have learned to monitor my heart rate to improve my running. I have realized for the first time that I was running up to 130 bpm (beats per minute). I was totally on my comfort zone! So I have scaled it to 140 bpm or more and in less than a month I was able to...
