Increase Your Confidence Using Mindfulness

Being confident takes more than just practice.  The real key is developing a sense of your own self-worth and self-esteem which may have been undermined during early childhood. This can happen from internalizing criticisms and rejections directed at you from a parent or adult.   While overcoming this is not easy, your brain can begin to replace negative thinking with positive thinking once you start to practice self-compassion. 

In this self-improvement video we will practice a powerful mindfulness technique to get you build self-confidence and self-compassion.

Resistance to Taking in the Good

Eddie Grassi, Point Lobos CA August July 29, 2018 Do you remember the last time you refused something really good? While it may sound counterintuitive, people do it all the time. We resist the opportunity to take in the good. Even though it is all around us, like low hanging fruit, we may have our reasons not to accept it. The invitation to let in the good isn't always a given. For instance, you feel you do not deserve to be happy or that you are not worthy to receive its benefits. Or maybe you have doubts about happiness because of past experiences in which the idea of being happy did not work out so well. Another idea you may hold is that this stuff about happiness just doesn't work; it's a sham. You may think to yourself, "no way, not trying this junk. It's a waste of time." There's also the thought that you already are happy so there's no need for more. All of these possibilities can make you feel resistant. And guess w

The Key to Sustaining Positive Change

You want to feel more gratitude in life? What about motivation? What about calmness? Then try this: have an experience where you feel gratitude. Just have one. Here are some examples: to stimulate a feeling of gratitude in response: notice you are alive and breathing. Listen to your breath. See what's in front of you. Be grateful for being alive. Notice when you can move. Be grateful you can move. Notice when somebody smiles at you. Be grateful somebody smiled at you. The list goes on.

That's not you? Well, for many of us, including myself, those two feelings have had lots o

An Into to Hardwiring Yourself for Happiness

Magicians rarely like to explain their tricks. Since I'm not a professional magician though, I can let you in on a little magic trick for growing a strong and healthy brain. Actually, it's a big one. It's so big in fact that to properly explain it, I need to break down into a series of posts. In a nutshell, it's about going from a red brain of reactivity to stress to a green brain of calm and contentment in defiance of the stress all around us. First, however, I must give full credit to Rick Hanson, the source of my inspiration and newfound knowledge on building happiness into my life and yours. He is a prominent neuropsychologist at UC Berkeley and has written an international bestselling book, Hardwiring Happiness: the new science of contentment, calm and confidence , which I hope you will read too. All of what I'm about to say comes from the magic of the discoveries found within the pages of his book and how it's improving quality of life.
