When at crossroad, I find it useful to picture sitting in council with my greatest mentors, heros, and future self at 80. The mental conversation can put at ease and clear up doubt, by forming a plan that the heart knows is good.
Hey Mikey, I just wanted to say how grateful I am for your videos. They’ve given me new insights not only about life but also about myself. Your words always resonate deeply with me, and I truly admire how genuine and authentic you are. You have a rare gift for inspiring people and helping them grow. Please keep doing what you’re doing because you have a far greater impact on the world than you may realize. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspective with us!
I’ve been struggling with an extreme kind of social anxiety called selective mutism as a 28 year old adult, this disorder usually only occurs in kids. During my first 2 years of college I was actually putting myself out their and becoming more extroverted, I had always been a shy introvert but those first two years I was actually becoming a people person, a social butterfly, but then I went through a couple of stressful events in my life and at the same time I was trying to go through college and work to pay for college. Also at work I had abusive supervisor who would mistreat me and I would find it hard to go to work, I became very anxious and fearful of going to work. Then I began to have trouble speaking to people at work or at my classes, I began to withdraw from friends and family and the anxiety got worse, so much worse that I couldn’t even talk at all to people other than family or really close friends. When I tried to talk the words wouldn’t come out or I would sound incoherent as I tried to force the words out. I took a break from college, when it started affecting my grades, I was a business major so communication was important in my classes. I then started seeing a therapist who diagnosed me with selective mutism an extreme form of social anxiety and at the same time I pushed through my last two years of college, it has been a year since I graduated and I still haven’t found a job since my difficulty with speech leads me to fail the interview process’ I’m still working with my therapist and about to start speech therapy, it’s been a hard and at times depressing experience but videos like this give me hope that with resilience and hard work I can start my career.
So powerful! How could we take these transformative messages to high school and university students? Actually, this message can serve even kids! It helps all of us! Thanks, Mikey!
I think I do something similar but instead of reframing my perspective in the moment I try to mentally prepare myself by mentally reframing something I'm going to do in the future so I can be more prepared for it.
@mikeyposada thanks for the advice this is Also something I try to do when I attempt to mentally prepare myself the one weaknesses I have with my preparation so far is that can be relatively indecisive on specifically my reaction or perspective should be but I'm sure I'll become more decisive with experience as I do this more on deliberately.
@mikeyposada i have an dream to attain perfect discipline but I also have high cholesterol so I need to find an way to be disciplined and do difficult and stressful things without stressing myself. I think I've done stuff like this before but I don't think I knew what I was doing so thanks to this video I now what I've been doing so now I'm able to do it more consciously. Right now I'm working on my ideal mindset currently it something like this. every time I decide to take another step towards my goal I get closer to achieving it and if I don't achieve it it's good to improve myself so no matter my feelings or how impossible it seems for me to achieve my dream I will push forward wholeheartedly no matter the outcome. And my mindset for when I fail at a specific task is to think that as long as I tried To get closer to my goal even if I failed at that specific tasks it doesn't matter because each choice I make towards my dream is good so it doesn't even really matter if I fail at whatever is specific time I'm doing at the moment. I'm glad you made this video it really helped me make this breakthrough or more accurately helping me realize what I've been doing for a very long time without knowing it which I'm sure will help me greatly.
Is it advisable to practice this with past situations? Just wondering if I could train my mind using past challenges, as I'm not really good at identifying my emotions in the first place.

Negative visualization is also a great exercise!! Picturing the worst case scenario going into a new endeavour and coming to terms with it
