Episode Synopsis

mental discipline is something that our culture doesn't talk about very often because it's very difficult mental discipline would be to delay gratification internally. Or to tell yourself No. Let me give you an example. No, I'm not going to think those thoughts right now. No, I'm not going to be angry about that right now. No, I don't need to be unkind, I need to be more kind. They need to be more gentle, more forgiving, more allowing of things to happen the way that they are. Often we feel like that when we have an emotion, we need to share that what we dislike, well, there's nothing wrong with that. But delaying the emotion of negative or dislike, or anger or hurt or upset, actually can really help you become the kind of person that you want to be. Because what you're doing is you're learning to walk in a higher vibration of what's happening around you. You don't have to always express what's true, because yes, I might feel hurt. But it's how long I hold on to that hurt and how much I value that relationship that I'm in whether I'm going to express it or not. Because sometimes it doesn't really matter. You know, someone cuts me off in the, on the road, or if someone cuts in front of me in the grocery store line, it doesn't matter how hurt I am or how bad they are, what matters is how kind I am. And if I learn how to have a higher level of thinking, and being more gentle and kind first of all with myself and then with others, it's life changing. So practicing telling yourself No, you don't need to feel that right now that you can let go of it and move on is the most valuable gift you can give yourself because that way you're truly disciplining your mind and being the kind of person that you really can be, which is more gentle, more kind, less judgmental, more forgiving. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.
