Don't be petty

Are your technical skills impeccable? Great! The management of the company you work for is certainly aware of your professionalism. However, technical skills alone will not take you far.

Neglecting business communication can stall your career. Pay attention to the nuances of your work communication:

• How polite are you with your colleagues? A condescending or too cold communication style can make people keep their distance from you.

• Are there many errors and typos in your written speech? People prefer to communicate with a well-spoken person.

• Do you demand special treatment for yourself? In vain. Modesty will give you more shine than you think.

Being a cool specialist is good, but your career is driven by people with whom you need to be able to communicate.

How to make someone like you

I won't beat around the bush, to make someone like you, you need to make them feel special⚡️

And for this you need a good pumping of your memory!

✅You have to memorize the name right away when you first meet him.

👉🏻This technique gives the person confidence that you singled him out and subconsciously gets more relaxed with you. Especially works on girls!

@elevateyourmind

Care to be reassured?

Back in my college days, I came across an interesting article that helped me get rid of my fear of being ridiculed.

👉🏻And it was a review of a speech by coach Jack Canfield, where he demonstrated with one example that criticism is not so frightening:

In one of his classes, he approached his student and said:

- I give many lectures and seminars, but I haven't yet met anyone as stupid as you

Sure, the girl got upset, but Jack reassured her and said it was just an exercise and went on.

- I give many lectures and seminars, but I have never met a man with such horrible green hair.

The girl laughed.
- Why are you laughing? - Jack asked.
- Because my hair is not green.
- Then why did you get angry with me the first time? You are not stupid, are you?
- ...

❗️The conclusion is that we tend to be hurt by what we allow to be true.

Learning not to respond to toxic criticism is a skill that will keep you healthy and give you plenty of opportunity🏆

Is it worth solving her problems?

I first wondered about this when my girlfriend at the time, after I gave away the solution to her next problem, said that I didn't care about her🤯

What absurd bullshit, I thought, and decided to investigate the question.

What do they want? Just to pour out their soul and see your sympathy!

And next time (depending on the situation) it's enough to kiss her on the forehead and tell her that she’s the best, you really appreciate her and that everything will go away!

And you will live happily ever after✨

The Three Yeses Principle

Nah, I'm not mastering you how to manipulate people, I'm teaching you how to make them agree with you👌🏻

A fairly harmless trick that will quietly give you everything you desire:

Ask 3 questions in a row, the first 2 of which your interlocutor should definitely answer in the affirmative, and the third ask the question you want.

Such as:

You work here, right? Are you a manager? Could you help me?

@elevateyourmind

Winning in any situation

Yup, I'm a particular fan of catchphrases, but they do give you confidence🏆

In any stressful situation, it's crucial to turn off your emotions. It's a kind of gray morality - any situation is just there, generally people tend to give them coloring, which they do a good job of shattering their nerves.

Run from corner to corner with tears in his eyes - leave it to your enemies or stooges. You, on the other hand, act with beauty.

Focus on the facts and turn off the emotional coloring, it will not only save you time, but also give you a quick solution in ANY situation.

@elevateyourmind

Watch what you say, so you don't hurt your interlocutor

The phrase "As I said before" seems harmless, but it has a subtext: already spoke, and you were not heard, and have to repeat it.
It's better to do without this phrase and just repeat what you said before.

"Knew it would happen."
That’s how we signify that we are more discerning than the other. And that's not unambiguous at all.

"With all due respect."
This phrase, by definition, can't be benevolent: after it, people often say things that the other person would hate to hear.

"Just a reminder."
Sounds like a kick, even if you didn't mean anything by it. Omit the beginning and say right away what you meant.

@elevateyourmind

Keep going

Immediately after voicing something important or the information to convey to the interlocutor, move on to another topic.

You do this to prevent him from comprehending and confronting the received information.

➡️Oftentimes I use a phrase like: "let's not stop" and move on to another topic.

9 Psychology Hacks to Overcome Depression

1. Identify Your Triggers: Zero in on what's dragging you down. Diagnose the root causes to guide your next steps. What changed the game for me was adopting different viewpoints by considering other people's perspectives.

2. Stay Occupied: An idle mind is a breeding ground for negative thoughts. Engage in challenging tasks to keep your mind active. What I found helpful was shaking up my daily routine.

3. Exercise & Sleep: A healthy body cultivates a healthy mind. Prioritize quality sleep to build mental strength. I noticed substantial improvements after establishing a solid exercise regimen.

4. Find Happy Distractions: Identify what genuinely brings you joy—be it pets, music, or reading. I found solace by immersing myself in these activities and noted a marked mood uplift over time.

5. Big-Picture Perspective: Think about past worries that now seem inconsequential. Assess how your current troubles will hold up in the long term. For me, recognizing the fleeting nature of my concerns was a game-changer.

6. Lean on Your Support System: Seek out real-life connections. I benefited greatly from confiding in trusted friends and family members, who often offered invaluable guidance.

7. Connect with Nature: Don't underestimate the therapeutic power of nature and music. Taking time to disconnect and immerate in natural surroundings made a world of difference for me.

8. Smart Shopping: Treat yourself, but avoid shopping as a coping mechanism that can lead to debt. For me, planned indulgences were key to maintaining a balanced outlook.

9. Inject Positivity: Incorporate gratitude and acts of kindness into your daily routine. I found that volunteering not only helped others but also boosted my own morale. And never underestimate the ripple effect of a simple smile.

June 26, 1998:

A 21-year-old Martin, in braces, declares the whole world will know Coldplay in 4 years.

They hadn't even settled on a band name at the time.

Fast forward 4 years and 3 days:

Coldplay takes the stage at Glastonbury, captivating 140,000 fans.

An example on the power of the mind. He believed, he committed, he conquered. Legendary stuff.

Happy New Year to all you amazing elevated minds out there! I am wishing you a year ahead filled with breakthroughs, and yes, a bit of discomfort too 😁

Now you might be wondering, "Why discomfort?" Let me explain.

We often misunderstand the concept of 'comfort' with 'peace, when in reality it's a breeding ground for stagnation.

The familiarity that comes with the comfort zone is NOT comforting. It's a trap holding you back, keeping you stuck in fear, in familiarity with <the avoidance of> pain and disappointment.

If you want to grow in life, it will be uncomfortable. This means you have to step outside the confines of what you know (and what you think you know). We have to confort our limiting beliefs that is caging our potential.

So how do we initiate this change? Start by tuning into your thoughts and beliefs. Where do you feel tension and discomfort? Examine this critically and explore how you can adopt new empowering ways of thinking and acting. When you realize your beliefs may not be true, this is the key to unlocking what I call "The Breakthrough".

Breakthroughs are a paradigm shift - you change the way you think, act, and interact with the world. You will see and understand things differently, and when you understand things differently, you start to act different too. Your life becomes fuelled by possibility instead of predictability.

And it can all happen in a short period of time.

Finally, I want to extent my heartfelt thanks for your unwavering support. I sense that 2024 is going to be an exciting year for us in our personal growth and journeys 🚀 Take care and keep pushing forward ❤️

PS A quick update from my end: I've been a bit quiet here as I've been conjured back to the world of crypto, where I've been a full time investor/trader. It's been a rewarding journey, pushing my own boundaries, making me self examine and it's also changed my life.

Whatever your 'crypto' is, pursue it. Step out of our comfort zone. It might be life changing.

(for those curious or active in crypto, let's connect. Drop a👩‍🚀🔥 emoji)

I would remove the word 'Always' - but good quote anyways 😁

ON THE GREAT WORK OF SELF DISCOVERY:

"Much of magic as I understand it in the Western occult tradition is the search for the Self, with a capital S. This is understood as being the Great Work, as being the gold the alchemists sought, as being the Will, the Soul, the thing we have inside us that is behind the intellect, the body, the dreams. The inner dynamo of us, if you like. Now this is the single most important thing that we can ever attain, the knowledge of our own Self. And yet there are a frightening amount of people who seem to have the urge not just to ignore the Self, but actually seem to have the urge to obliterate themselves. This is horrific, but you can almost understand the desire to simply wipe out that awareness, because it’s too much of a responsibility to actually posses such a thing as a soul, such a precious thing. What if you break it? What if you lose it? Mightn’t it be best to anesthetize it, to deaden it, to destroy it, to not have to live with the pain of struggling towards it and trying to keep it pure? I think that the way that people immerse themselves in alcohol, in drugs, in television, in any of the addictions that our culture throws up, can be seen as a deliberate attempt to destroy any connection between themselves and the responsibility of accepting and owning a higher Self and then having to maintain it." ~ Alan Moore
