Clicking from one topic to the next, I have found each one to be very helpful, simply put, thus direct, practical, i.e., I’m putting into practice at the very moment: I’m writing to you, whoever wherever you are, first to say thanks for being out there, thanks for putting pics of different types of people, and through the links you provide, making me discover some musicians that were unknown to me. I have sent the link to this to a few family members already. Great stuff. God bless you.

The closest, fully-explored and exhaustive analysis of self-ESTEEM (not confidence) I’ve come across is the work of Nathaniel Branden, the essence of which I covered in a radio show called The Dynamics of HIGH SELF-ESTEEM

There, I described self-esteem as “your relationship with own process of perception,”: the degree to which you trust and honor what you experience, think and feel, as well as how this rather abstract “relationship” plays out in things like “confidence,” “self-talk,” “self-motivation,” etc. etc.

But I feel you, “self-confidence” is a fairly ambiguous term thrown around thoughtlessly – like what you say when you run out of actual advice because it seems to apply to everything – and I don’t even have a scientific definition myself (and here I am publishing material on this stuff).

The advice here, in other blog posts, the book referenced above, and the mental-conditioning programs I offer through this site is really the extent of what I know.

I’m just not going to lie to you and pull some scientific mumbo-jumbo out my rear end when I simply don’t have one, you know?

Hope this helps…

Also what help me stay focus to task’s at hand is I just recently bought a 2nd desk (which is right next to my main desk). One desk is for admin and critical work the other is for creative work.

:) thx 4 the article!

Keep up the good work!

Lately I’ve been finding myself searching for instrumental music to relax to. I’m striving to eliminate mental clutter and be more focused. I’m definitely going to check out the show for more tips and insight! Peace!

Defining success for self is very important in a world that will have you going broke and being stressed out trying to “look” successful according to “their” standard. Good drop!

His book is one of the few that “teach fishing” if you catch my drift…

Originally, I was also going to have a FOURTH fear, something along the lines of “the fear of missing out/being left behind” but it wasn’t coming together as well as I wanted it to, so I scraped that. Stay tuned for more blogging goodness…

Take care and thanks again,

Also, that photo of the one-eyed practitioner of meditation is hilarious!

the fear of ending up like my father is one of my strongest motivational factors!

Another example would be Dr. Phil Valentine (where did he get his doctorate?). The man is full of pseudo-facts and erroneous logic. He makes some good points, but he also is far off the mark, e.g. quoted from one of his videos, “The lamp of God who takes away the sins of the world.”…uh…Phil, that’s “lamb”; not “lamp”. Moreover, Phil goes into a full five minute explanation of the word “lamp” to suit his chosen conclusion. He has a TON of misnomers and faulty logic. (Has he/have they ever submitted their work for peer review?)

Be careful what you’re endorsing. Because every time you endorse something like that, you’re lowering your credibility and your reading/listening audience will doubt your ability to think critically and to correctly evaluate data.

Keep up the good work, but look before you leap. To endorse pseudo-science and faulty reasoning is the equivalent of stating that dinosaurs became extinct 3,000 and lived along side of homo sapiens or some other rubbish or that Jews and non Aryans have a lesser intelligence than Aryans or that homosexuality is a disease. All of the above aren’t true, but when viewed in an historical context and palpable effects of such unsound principles, one has to shudder at the consequences of misinformation posing as fact and those who lend their name to it.

For instance, I measure how time and energy I spend working on different aspects of the site, and when I saw that blogging was taken up far too much of my time, I realized that I needed to stop doing it everyday.

Once I saw the metrics, I knew I couldn’t keep it up long term, but there was a big dilemma: how do I “blog without blogging??? How do I keep such great content churning without taking away from the executive and marketing responsibilities???

It took me a LOOOONG time to figure out, but with a little bit of inventiveness I finally had the idea to do all my blogging for the week over the week-end instead of daily. Normally I would draft a post at night and finalize it in the early morning (sneaking away during work hours if needed), but now I just bang those babies out in one session…like an assembly line or something.

This also eliminates transition time: I no longer have to shift between blogging and networking, etc. etc., which is a big drag on efficiency, and I owe it all to the metrics

Peace,
+B

Taking notes is a great idea, so stay tuned for more insights tomorrow…

Originally, this was partly inspired by something I saw on public television about aging. I completely forgot the name of it or the author who put it together, but they were making those same arguments about always learning and always using your brain as the key to fighting Alzheimer’s and other aging-related challenges.

Thanks bro

Much thanks to the Queen for looking out like this. She saved me a lot of time and energy.

I read this article deep into the day it was posted. Didn’t eat anything that. Towards the end of the night, while I headed to work, I figured I’d put that fruit fast into action and had two mangoes and a gallon (maybe 3/4s a gallon) of water. Today, for breakfast I had three apples and tonight I’ll have two more. It is hard, but at the same time, it helps that I’m broke lol. Yesterday my mood was certainly lifted though. Thanks for sharing

Here’s another quick health tip I put over the email listserve earlier this week:

QUICK HEALTH TIP:

Studies show that when we go to the kitchen for
a quick snack, our subconscious makes us
automatically reach for what’s most easily
accessible…

SO…get leverage on yourself by re-organizing
your kitchen to trick your subconscious: put your
sweets waaay high up in the cabinet (where they
can’t be seen) & leave fruit, nuts etc. right
there out in the open.

Now you’re more likely to eat healthy without
even thinking about it…

Peace,
+B

Dr. Afrika helped to open my eyes too. Great article. Anyone with an open-mind can see where you’re coming from. I can certainly attest to everything you stated and one will also when their thought becomes action. Continue to help those that want to help themselves.

Quoting Disqus :

Television reduces the content it portrays into a digestable image…the true depth, complexity and significance of an issue, person or situation can NEVER be explored, but the viewer leaves with the impression that he has explored it (that’s where the danger lies)

>> You can’t KNOW a forest by watching National Geographic
>> You can’t KNOW about the Wild Wild West by watching “The Law vs. Billy the Kid”, and
>> You damn sure can’t know about relationships by watching…what’s this new joint coming out? “Friends w/ Benefits” or something (w/ Ashton Kutcher???)

(Note that even documentaries have to be reduced: there’s only so much that can be learned through the medium…compare watching “Supersize Me” to reading “Fast Food Nation” or actually visiting a flavoring company or meat factory)

It’s what you can call a “pseudo-experience”: you don’t REALLY know something, you just get a pre-assembled series of images and audios to tell you about it, and this so-called “knowledge” ALTERS the way you think and the way you interact with the world.

Remember that television is the main source of education for most people: it gives us all kinds of assumptions and subconscious beliefs, and the theatri

The subjects of television even reduce themselves: people simplify who they are or what their message is in order to fit 30-minute (or even 30-second) clips.

The film Network GOES IN: it covers
>> Corporate takeovers
>> Inter-generational (romantic) relationships
>> the conscious community (what were the Black Panthers at that time)
>> World Banks/Economics

…and A LOT more. To keep it real with you, I feel like this movie was deeper then the Matrix (especially because it wasn’t as obvious, or science-fiction).

Watch a clip here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jmuhZY2mgs&feature=related

What I’ve found is that you have to be a little bit of what other people would call “OCD,” and remember that if your “compulsive” about having an orderly environment, most people are “compulsive” about living in clutter and filth.

It’s really something that separates you when you can become more minimalistic in life.

Stay tuned for the new blog layout too.

Great points Tee…

There is another thing about food too, its a drug. It has turned into a drug for some. I notice time and time again people start associating happiness with food. Whenever there is a celebration people want to bring food. Food has become such an easy accessible thing to get to and you can get it cheap. Your serotonin levels rise and your body gets use to feeling that kind of happiness and now you are a food addict. I feel like lately people don’t understand that you can’t be happy all the time. And in my opinion, I feel like that is how a person can become an addict. You train your body that you don’t want to feel sad and you know what will make you happy and your body pushes you to use food as a drug.

When people learn how to eat better and exercise they need to also get to the issue of why they got in the position of being a food addict. When a person doesn’t do that, what seems to happen is that they replace that habit with another habit, and its usually a bad one.

(This, along with the “healthy selfishness” concept, seem to be the most impactful, by the way. I’ll be going in depth with this stuff more too later on)

Here’s how I see it: “Physical learning is the most impactful, but mental learning has the most depth…”

What I mean is that, while reading has the poorest retention rate, it’s also the most accessible (physical learning requires resources like time, money and energy, while mental learning, typically, only requires reading and thinking).

So, the mental learning is where you make choices about WHAT you’d like to learn, and the physical learning is where you INVEST your time, money, and energy to actually, really LEARN IT, if that makes sense.

So both are necessary, we just have to be clear about what type of learning (or familiarizing) we’re doing, and when it’s time to take it to the next level and committ to learning a specific thing.

Hope that’s clear, but basically, ALL TYPES OF LEARNING ARE IMPORTANT, and they come together holistically.

After being told I had social anxiety disorder, I purchased the book “Living Fully with Shyness and Social Anxiety: A Comprehensive Guide to Gaining Social Confidence” – I did not get through the first chapter. What worked for me was getting into uncomfortable situations on purpose.

I don’t think the industry is a sham, but I do think that like the weight-loss industry, there is a lot more “crap-ola” to sift through to get to the authentic product and it’s messenger.

A lot of issues aren’t our fault per se (psychological issues we picked up from family, socioeconomic structures, etc.), but they are our RESPONSIBILITY to resolve. (doing intense inner-work, activism, etc.)

Thanks for the comment…

These early successes got me hooked on self-help books, both for inspiration and through desire to see what more could be possible for me. Unfortunately most self-help books have a lot more to do with the issues you described here: the fulfillment of materialistic desires (especially fame, power, sex, and money). Self-help also serves a purpose culturally to reinforce the conservative notion that if you are suffering (economically, psychologically, or otherwise), it’s your own damn fault. This helps to justify unjust political and economic structures, like for instance tax breaks on the upper 1%.

Yes and No…. Power is knowledge and does influence others but lets stop right there and ask ourselves where is the intent of the influencer.
We must know the origin of the new found power.
If its from the heart then spiritually your conscience influencing is sound. Many times people lead with there thoughts and this influencing can get them into trouble, because things percieved by the mind are illusions. These illusions construct partitions in our mind, points of view that can consist of your past or lack of experience with whom your intending to influence. This can alter your intent and be shunned upon as evil.
Hand and heart must be in sync and the mind follows.

Should someone use persuasion to get someone ELSE to take a positive action? How can someone with that skill judge the ethical extent to which he’ll use it???

We all who consider ouselves scholars know that you become a seeker first and formost. If you do not seek out this knowledge you will not attain it. There are those who do not innerstand this at all, and want to be knowledgable, be a leader in there family but will not do the work. I speak of this cause I coach others randomly and they will come to me, now I feel it is my duty to spirit of both of us that I direct the person.
Do I influence, why sure we already stated this power if used properly but I’m not going to persuade anyone,must be very careful not to coherse. Ethically its about what you can live with, if your being pushy you may want to be aware of it(again let your heart be your guide). But ultimately the party should want your insight and not your influence, then determine if warranted, do they accept your guidance.

Z

Really, what I want to do is create a conceptual framework for literally EVERYTHING that I share…I want to fine tune all the powerful (albeit random) techniques and insights I’ve come across into a complete framework for a specific (but extremely important) result.

It’s like the next level of the life-purpose/values/talents and strengths exercises. It’s really bringing everything together in a sort of “magnum opus”

Peace, and appreciate it…

+B

Also, I’ve been using the Dual-Self Journaling exercise and it’s helped me to come up with some great ideas. As I implement more of the knowledge, I’ll share my wisdom with you. Word!

I.| Do power and influence naturally corrupt the person who acquires them? Is “evil” inherent in the process of gaining power, or is it a type of consciousness independent of power itself???

I don’t believe in evil. I see the nature of people being self preservation regardless to whom or what. A small percentage of people elevate above the basic survival mentality and are able to influence others path of self preservation. You are the sole controller of your being, if you gain power and influence in your path it is your very nature that will shine through from start to finish. In other words if you are seek to exploit people with the power and influence you gain, you shall but in the same instance you will only be balancing a character trait within that person and conversely if you seek to assist people with the power and influence you gain then you shall and in the same instance you will be balancing a character trait within that person. In the first instance the exploitation is seen and culturally unethical, but truly you would be teaching that person a painful lesson. In the second instance your assistance is seen as culturally acceptable, but truly you would be teaching that person to rely on others instead of themselves and while that is less painful, it can be just as hurtful in the long run. To me the answer is, be yourself the best way you can and that’s all you can do. Just do it naturally.

?II.| Is persuasion ethical? Can you justify using persuasion (i.e. psychological control of another person) if it results in positive behavior???

Persuasion is only possible because people need catalyst in the growing process. If they allow themselves to be persuaded and it causes a positive change then good for them, if they allow themselves to be persuaded and it turns out to be a waste of time, then good for them too. They learned a lesson. You have to just offer what you can and if you only help one person it’s still worth it.

?III.| Is the use of video destroying our intelligence? I know this is a little out there, but what I’ve realized is that the style of a learning-video (the teacher’s character) DETRACTS from (and supercedes) the substance of it (the actual ideas themselves), so what I’ve been thinking is that trend towards online video (including educational sector of it) is leading to the EXTINCTION of critical thought (while on surface, seeming to progress it).

If the topic presented is quality work and intriguing then I don’t see a thing wrong with video learning. I walk away at least once a week from the TV either after watching NGC, or Science channel and I’m left with plenty of inspiration and thought provoking ideas. If the content is high quality then it is what it is. We can’t DEPEND on TV, but we are living in the tech age and using these mediums for education is not done often enough.

My simple 2 bits.

Stay uplifting +B!

I do NOT think that power and influence corrupt a person naturally, but rather our relationships with anything external, and how we respond (not react) to the same, is what creates the new avenues for the next event and experience.

A guy can have power over his woman in a relationship in most if not all areas, but it’s his intention that we have to question (Is he a power vampire? Is he empowered by empowering her?). To me, evil IS a form of power, the shadow side of us, that can be unleashed if we do not keep ourselves elevated and in unison with the present.

2) Yes, it is ethical. This ties into the first question where the intention is what we have to bring into question. Also, how solid is the person in their beliefs who is being persuaded that they can be persuaded? How do you get around the roadblocks and find out which key terms to use to make the persuasive message penetrate?

The example about the woman given two choices about losing weight or losing her husband is RIGHT ON POINT. Had the adviser replaced ‘husband’ with ‘life’, she probably would not be as ready to hear more information or open up her pocketbook.

3) Yes, the SOLE use of video for learning purposes is destroying our intelligence! Not just how we learn and comprehend, but also the digital age of communicating is having a detrimental effect on penmanship. Are notebooks still used after 12th grade? 8th grade? We’re sending text messages, tweeting, and sharing information in front of a video camera with “personality” to boot. A “boring” presentation has a detriment on the message shared, which may very well be pertinent.

The sensational-ization of Holly-weird films, and irrelevant Facebook statuses are examples of the quickened climate we’ve adopted. I said in FB status back in the summer that I find it weird that people are bored with the proliferation of things to engage oneself in. Video is great, but it’s should not be the main medium for sharing data.

P.S. I tried to keep it short – lol

Mental programming is pretty much a factor in EVERYTHING these days.

To be clear, everything above is just an excerpt from another article I read (something I linked to towards the end). I can’t take credit for the breakdown itself.

Peace,
+B

…appreciate that. These questions have actually been on my mind for the most of last week, but I wanted to put them out there in the atmosphere to see what kind of response they get.

I really just find myself going back more into my philosophical mode then I used to, because it matters so much to me now.

Thanks again,
+B

2) I think persuasion is ethical, or that it can be. Even more, perhaps it’s just natural. To be persuaded, you’d have to be persuadable, no? If you’re persuadable, then you’re not firm in your standing-in my mind anyways.

It’s sort of similar to asking if controlling someone is ethical. If self-control is lost and/or not developed then a person is being controlled by external forces by default, no?

Where do we draw the line? Well, it’s another form of control to me. I’d say that it remains ethical until you persuade a person to do something unethical. We’re constantly influencing others. I see persuasion as the art of conscious influence. If a person never gets K.O.S., gets their values and priorities straight, then they’re open to being persuaded because they don’t have a solid foundation.

3) Gotta let my thoughts sit on this one.

Peace

And there is a lot of good stuff here…

But, man… I do not recognize the woman you’re talking about.

First of all, indifference and detachment would send me out the door in 2 minutes. What’s the point of investing time with someone who acts like he’s not that into you?

I want love. I want passion. I want someone who feels me to his core, and acts accordingly from the get-go. That guy will get the same response from me.

And if you’re just practicing your “game” with no concern for the outcome, you reduce what should be a phenomenal human interaction to a field test. That’s not what you want to do.

Finally, I don’t know what that “testing” thing is about. “Women,” as a generalized group, do not do this. A subset of women might. But for many/most of us, there’s too much going in in real life to be coming up with fake tests.

(And my sense is that most black women aren’t doing this anyway, because we’re NOT trying to rush the disillusionment that many of us fear will be inevitable at some point in our relationships with black men. The disillusionment that so many of us will overlook anyway, even when our men do fail us somehow. That’s a historical truth. We are not trying to hasten the situation that will render us partnerless.)

But I suspect someone will follow this with all the reasons why I’m not getting your point or how out of touch I am with the way things are.

But this is the view from inside my chest.

I remember this blog post everytime I think of logging on to social networks and how I’ll spend my time on there.

I really like that you wrote this because t shines light on the fact that nothing is new under the sun. I’m striving come out of this stage myself.

It’s like the accumalation of these facts and knowledge, personally, I’de use it to build confidence, to make it seem like I was being productive with my time and to somewhat respect myself. But at the back of my mind, I knew there were things I needed to face. Decisions to make, action to take.

Makes me question the purpose of others in the same position. I mean, I had a purpose when I originally set up some profiles, but then it got lost when I sought out other like-minded individuals online, to build with in my local environment offline. I lost focus and began wasting a lot of time online doing much of nothing.

Great that you brought this to the forefront. It helps to realize once you’re doing it, and it becomes easier to stop the cycle.

His point was that human beings have an innate sense of freedom and self-direction, so whenever we’re forced to do something by somebody else, we tend to resent that and NOT do it (or do it poorly) as a way of exerting our independence.

When we can’t say “no” directly (like children can’t) we find ways to say “no” indirectly – we procrastinate as if to say “you can’t make me do this, I’m doing it on my own terms.”

I was recently a child myself, so I can relate …I also have a little-brother in high school who does this exactly and a sister-in-law who teaches kindergarden who’s explained the same thing.

Did you watch the video in full? He also makes examples with:
- husbands who don’t do housework,
- employees that don’t comply and
- young adults who don’t pay their bills on time.

Remember, it’s not really about children, it’s about human nature: nobody likes to be dominated or bossed around, so when they are (but they can’t simply say “no” and decline) they procrastinate to express their independence (it’s a form of passive-aggresive behavior).

2 FOLKS WHO ARE REGULAR LIARS & WHO LIE WHETHER OR NOT YOU ASK THEM A QUESTION OR SEEK INFORMATION. THE WORST OF THESE MAKE UP STORIES ABOUT THEMSELVES & THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, EDUCATION, JOB, ETC.

3. FOLKS WHO REGULARLY ASK FOR MONEY OR OTHER FAVORS BUT WHO RARELY, IF EVER, HAVE ANYTHING TO OFFER OTHERS.

4. FOLKS WHO TALK NON-STOP AND FAIL TO HOLD A CONVERSATION. EVERYTHING IS ONE LONG & CONTINUING MONOLOGUE FROM THEM. I MYSELF AM QUITE VERBOSE BUT I DO KNOW HOW TO BE A GOOD LISTENER, AS WELL (DIALOGUE)!

5. FOLKS WHO USE PROFANITY, SOME EVEN MOST OF THE TIME. THE LANGUAGES HAVESO MANY BEAUTIFUL WORDS WE CAN USE, WHY NOT TRY SOME OF THOSE INSTEAD OF A STEADY STREAM OF *&^%$#@!!!

I HAVE OTHER PET PEEVES BUT I THINK THESE I HAVE LISTED ARE AT THE TOP OF MY LIST. BUT IF WE WERE TO GO ON TO MY #6 PEEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THOSE WHO DO NOT SPEAK OR WRITE WELL BUT ARE ALWAYS TALKING OR WRITING COMMENTS ON FB. BUT MAYBE I’M GETTING TOO PETTY…. WHICH IS ANOTHER PET PEEVE: PETTY FOLKS…. (SMILEZ)… OK, I’M OUT!

Yet another engaging post. One of my biggest pet-peeves is when people are late. I strive to be on time–and even arrive early to make sure I’m not late, but so many other people do not respect other people’s time and they just show up whenever.

I personally wouldn’t stay in any relationship where I didn’t feel free AND comfortable. One of my new rules is “I have to CHOOSE to kick it with this person, EVERYTIME.” So, I’d recommend the same to everyone else (male and female).

It’s interesting though, because when I first came up with the idea to write this, it was only supposed to be like a sentence or two for each step…I guess the ideas started flowing and I went off ;)

Glad you liked it Queen. Hopefully we can get a lot of men checking it out too…

@Pat: I’M HAPPY FOR YOU, and that’s what I love to see…two people making it work. (My mother’s name is Patricia too by the way.)

@Erin: Word up. You already know it’s mind detect mind. Thanks for reposting, because like you I said earlier I hope brothers are reading this too.

@Jean: I agree with you Sis: WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR THE SAME THING, so I’m not suggesting here that men and women should be competing in anyway.

These are just my ideas on what men can do to improve that area of their life we could refer to as “women and dating.”

I haven’t come across any good readings on that subject specifically, but I’ll keep you in mind in case I do (try an Amazon search for “fertility” or something)

To be clear, I am not a doctor or medical specialist of any sort, so for your particular case, I suggest you find a holistic health practitioner that you trust and let him or her know your concerns…

You raised a few points A LOT of people have been asking me, so I’m going to address them shortly here:

Don’t be surprised…I know my readers pretty well, and one thing I’ve learned over the last 3 years of doing this website thing is that only a certain type of person actually reads an entire post like this all the way through…

(Usually, people just see all the text and their mind goes “Oh God…work,” so they don’t really check it out…that’s why I put that at the end)

Concerning the politics: I didn’t mean to suggest an argument for any particular case, I just used 9-11 & Moorish Sovereignty context as analogies to emphasize the overall point – that many of us are wasting our time trying to get other people on board for our own personally truths.

That seems to be something you already know though ;)

I truly believe that it’s a special type of person that’s interested in the stuff we talk about here on the blog, and I just wanted to remind them that the other people they’re around probably don’t have the frame of mind they do to understand where their viewpoints, they’re objectives or they themselves.

Peace,

Peace B.

Great post though, we can share but we shouldn’t drag people along with us. It’s not really selfish, it’s just understanding that it’s not the right time for them yet. Plus they will (usually) go their own way and find out how they should live their lives :)

lol… I’m one of those “conscious” people but cannot handle the socio-political information, if that’s what you mean by “cats”. It’s not like I don’t see the stuff, it’s just that I am not mentally strong and healthy enough to handle the information. I would just crumble and go like “GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!” Yeah. But glad you shared.

Glad you enjoyed the read though Elder…

While I hadn’t thought of asking my Higher Self the question posed in regards to time management and productivity, I have found myself getting answers almost immediately when stopping to ask about other things.
