How are you really doing right now? If you were to be true to yourself, are you living your life from a place of Fear, Excessive Worry, and Anxiety?

Does it feel like you can't control it? Is this how you want to show up? These are essential questions to post to yourself because there is no doubt that you are somewhere on the Fear Scale.

Fear is something that is advantageous to our survival as a species, because it serves the purpose of protection. However, how much fear is detrimental? When you stay in fear, what happens to the quality of your life experiences?

People are either surviving this period in 100% protective mode or they have found peace with the circumstances around and have found a way to thrive in uncertain times.

This video will go into showing you where your focus is and how that will continue to play into the person you are showing up as. Ask yourself this question. Is Fear Winning In My Life?

Have you ever saw someone on tv hooked up to all those wires connected to their heads? Have you ever wondered what was going on? Or what that machine was measuring?

I remember thinking to myself, that only someone who is crazy would need that. 

Well fast forward to now, that little machine is called an electroencephalogram or (EEG) for short. Well that little machine measures the electrical activity of your brain.

If you didn't know that you have electricity in your brain, NOW you do. So what does that have to do with my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Come to find out, it can tell us a lot about how we are being in our life. There is a concept called Bio-Feedback which is popular term to describe how different devices and technology can gives us feedback about our body. 

Of course you know this as everything in the hospital or medical center. Well I have never been put on an EEG machine, but I did learn about the different Brain Activity states that we cycle...

Maybe you to tend to lean on the side of fear, safety and comfort. This would be okay, because like all of us... our million old brains have evolved to help you survive, so we must intentionally use our ability to think and move beyond those emotions of fear, safety, and comfort.

At the end of the day, have you asked yourself, "What does all this get me or do for me?" 

Quite possibly more situations of FEAR, WORRY, then ultimately REGRET. 

Have you looked around and noticed that there are too many people living their lives in this state. I don't know about you, but these people don't appear to be happy consistently. It's more like the moments of happiness come as quick as they go. 

However, I know you are reading this because you want to discover another part about yourself.

What if there was a state you could began practicing a little...

Have you ever wondered why your child gets stuck or maybe stops trying when something gets difficult? It can be frustrating and almost personal when you know your child has so much more potential then they are showing. You may begin to look to blame your child’s school, teacher, or even yourself.

If you have, you are not alone. Studies show that they way you praise your child makes a difference. Think about how much your child craves praise and attention throughout their development. From when they are toddlers, they are already creating a formula in their minds for what people in their life will praise them for.

Most children receive praise that is focused on praising their accomplishments and achievements. Think honor roll, student of the month, gifted and talented, etc. To most this does not look like anything harmful. Isn’t this better than negative criticism?

Of course it is, however when researchers Carol Dweck and team studied kids who only received praise on...

Have you ever thought about your mindset and how it affects what you think, feel and do? IF you haven't, let me remind you that MINDSET is everything. Your mindset is your current mental attitude, inclination or frame of thought, which affects what you think, how you feel and what you do.

Mindset is the conscious part of your thinking, however we know that there is a subconscious process running in the background too. Therefore, Mindset represents the tip of the iceberg.

Prominent researcher Carol Dweck studied Mindset in depth asking the question, "How can kids change their results in school?" She found that low performance was a result of their thinking, their mindset. Low performing students looked at their abilities as a fixed quality, that they were either good at something or not good, and that these abilities couldn't be changed.

On the other end, Growth Mindset (Warrior Mindset) students held the belief that their abilities could be developed through effort and hard work....
