1. Sensory data heads to thalamus, the switchboard.2. Data sent to amygdala (reactions) and cortex (thinking) for interpretation.3. Amygdala does a threat assessment.4. If threat is interpreted, amygdala initiates an automatic anxiety reaction.5. Amygdala blocks the slow thinking process in the cortex.

our planet, this universe is a friendly place

Growth Mindset: Eliminating Half of Your Problems

All problems come with two obstacles…

1) Your relationship to the problem

2) The actual problem

Fixed Mindset - wastes time, energy, and cognitive

bandwidth on managing the relationship to failure.

Growth Mindset - saves massive time and cognitive

resources via self-compassion because failure does not

exist.

"I can accept failure,

everyone fails at

something...

But I cannot

accept not trying."

~ Michael Jordan

unconditional self acceptanceA feeling of being whole, complete, and perfect

regardless of your perceived “successes” and “failures.”

• Subconscious self compassion leads to:

empathy, rapid problem solving, increased cognitive

capacity, etc.

Growth Mindset <> Self Compassion

There is a difference

: between :

knowing the path

& walking the path

When you no longer identify with your company, you are kinder to yourself during the normal setbacks and

perceived failures.

Big Power Play - shift to “SELFLESS SERVICE” mindset.

“I am here to be of service to humanity and am open to receive whatever it is I am meant to accomplish in this

short life.”

This is when we are most powerful. This is when our consciousness expands, and we’re no

longer chained by the suffering of our own minds.
