    Human interaction can be overloading and overwhelming! Sometimes, that overloading comes in the form of texting. If I am being inundated with texts, and I don't feel like responding, what should I do? Is it wrong to use social media but not respond to text messages? What if the person sees me post on social media but knows I haven't answered their text yet?

    Good morning, Friends. Today on this Thursday, I'm challenging each and every one of you to STOP blaming your past. We ALL have baggage. If you use that as a justification for how you treat others, or how you handle tough situations, and it's damaging to someone else, STOP! You are turning yourself into a victim, when in reality, you might unintentionally hurt someone else. Your past doesn't have to be an excuse for poor choices. Everyone has a past, but only YOU can make the conscious decision to NOT let that past control you, and define you. YOU are always in control of your own perspective.

We're entering a dark phase in which these amazing, self-sacrificing people are at risk for more than just getting physically sick, but mentally fatigued, exhausted, burnt out, depressed, and in some cases, suicidal. I cannot stress enough the importance of taking care of those who take care of us. Those who work so we can stay home.

For many people, fearing the unknown is the worst kind of fear. Whether it's a viral outbreak, a college student worrying about their future, soon-to-be parents uneasy about the future throughout their first pregnancy, etc. People fear the unknown, and in this episode, I'm discussing how to address and overcome this within yourself.

    When you bottle things up inside, you will inevitably explode eventually. How big of an explosion, and how catastrophic and damaging, is all up for debate. It all depends on a variety of factors. I call this the "built-up syndrome." You bottle things up, eventually little things start to irritate you, and you bottle them up, and you start heading for that inevitable explosion. This series of episodes will discuss that idea of the "built-up syndrome" and how you can manage it. In Part 1, I'm sharing a story of what went wrong in my own relationship during 2019, how it led to Built-Up Syndrome, and eventually, an explosion, the demise of that relationship. I also ask for your opinion on several important topics: "Can you be friends with someone after a break-up?" is one of several questions discussed and explored in this release.

In the first episode of the year, we'll be talking about New Year's Resolutions, some strategies and planning techniques to help make your Resolution a success - I want you to meet your goal and close out 2020 with a bang in December, not with a whimper in February when you abandon an unrealistic or poorly planned goal. I also want to talk about the importance of self reflection, especially around the season of New Year's. My friends, it's not just about counting your blessings. You really have to be able to take an honest look at where you've been, if you want to develop a plan for where you want to go from here. 2019 might have sucked, but it brought you to where you are now. And what a great place to start in your journey of self improvement. What's your NY Resolution? I challenge you to start from a position of reflection, looking at yourself and your world, where you stand right now, where you've been over the last year, or 5 years, or 10 years. Use that as your starting point for the direction you want to take you life next, because I truly believe that's the only way you can create a true NY Resolution, one that will last, and take you where you want to go.

    Everyone goes through times in life where someone else hurts them. Everyone gets betrayed, screwed over, mistreated. It happens to the best of us, and it happens all the time. It's simply a part of life, and life is never easy. How we handle these situations is key to our happiness. If we walk around constantly blaming others for what they did to us (even when it is truly THEIR fault), we get stuck in "victim mode," and victim mode is nothing but suffering. We have to be willing to accept responsibility, not for whatever it is that hurt us, but for our own happiness and our own heart. It's my life, my happiness, my heart, and I'm the only one who has the power to make myself happy. Own it, be accountable for your emotions, and seize the power you already have to make yourself happy, and give yourself the life you want to have. Yes, someone else might have wronged you. But what's done is done. You can't walk around in constant victim mode, or you'll never be happy.

Regardless of what kind of pain your past may be filled with, love yourself. Good, bad, or indifferent. All those collective experiences through the years are what make YOU. It’s what makes you unique. It’s what makes you someone special to someone else, even if (like in my case), you don’t have that special someone yet.

    All of us have insecurities, usually from our past experiences. If you've been cheated on before, you have a harder time trusting someone new, and might think they're cheating on you, even when they're not. That insecurity has the power to destroy, if you let it. We have to find a way to recognize it, and keep it in check, or you'll never be happy. In order to be happy, you have to be willing to set that insecurity aside, and put yourself out there, make yourself vulnerable. Take risks. Those who never risk anything, will never win anything.

But don't rely on these people, because they are really only short-term solutions.

    Distractions have the power to compromise our identity... but only if we let them. They compromise who we are, because we allow them to take over our mind. This week I talk about some distractions in my life, most notably social media. This is a big one for a lot of people. Rather than sit here and preach about removing social media and Facebook from your life entirely, I'd rather have you just focus on it during a set time each day. Don't let it grip your attention at random points throughout your day, but set aside time somewhere that it can be used, and stick to that schedule. Things like social media take away from your personal identity, because it's a "fake" way to interact with other people and what's going on in the world, rather than focusing on the YOU. I want you to find some other things that allow you to develop and discover who YOU are, like writing. Self expression through writing has been a recurring theme on Third Degree Mind, as it's something that's important to me and I've found great benefits through it in my own personal life, especially since my own diagnosis and acceptance of a personality disorder. Last but not least... I need some help developing the Third Degree Mind studio, where the magic happens. This Podcast is recorded in my home, in a messy storage room, one that I'm going to convert into more of a "studio" feel for producing this Podcast. Help me out with suggestions... It's not just my studio where I sit alone and record, it's the place where this Podcast is produced, with all of you in mind and trying to produce relevant content. Send me some suggestions on what to put on the walls, what to put on the desk, paintings, anything that has anything to do with any of the topics we have or could discuss on the program.

    Being single is tough. It's hard to be content with life when you're alone. We are relational beings, which means humans like relationships. We thrive on them. To be alone is contradictory to nature. And yet, so many people are dissatisfied with their current relationship status. Either they're alone and wish they had someone, or they do have someone, but they aren't fully satisfied with that relationship. Maybe they are just miserable, or they're afraid to leave because they think it's better to be with SOMEONE (even the wrong someone) than to be alone. This is not an uncommon fear. What are the "rules" to being single, and why is it important to spend time getting to know yourself, before trying to dive into a relationship or commitment?

The loss of a loved one leaves us feeling helpless and alone, like a gaping hole in our chest, gripping your soul, threatening to consume you from the inside out. It's one of the most painful emotions we as humans experience. This topic is an important one because it addresses something that we all experience multiple times throughout our lives, and everyone copes with it differently. It's important to understand what someone goes through when they lose someone, and it's important to think about strategies for moving past it. We might never get over loss, and we'll experience grief over and over again, but we do have to find a way to move on in our own lives. Isn't that what your loved one would want you to do?

    Everyone's personality is dependent on a number of things. Who you become in adulthood is greatly influenced by who you were as a child and teen. Your upbringing plays an important role on all of this. In order to "become who you were meant to be," you have to take an honest look at your past and examine what different things impacted who you became. Every personality trait comes from somewhere. I think one of the most important influential factors on your personality is your family dynamics: how you were treated by your family, how you treated your family, how you interact with them, how you fit into the bigger picture of your family unit, etc. All of these things impact who you became, and you are today. If you don't like who you are today, one thing you have to do at a certain point is come to terms with WHY you are that way. Our family upbringing gave us some good traits, and some bad traits. Recognizing the root of those personality traits can be hugely beneficial to understanding yourself, and being who you want to be.

    Preview of this upcoming week... we'll be discussing a few different topics. One thing we'll be exploring this upcoming week is family dynamics, and how it influences your ability to relate with people. How you treat family members, how they treat you, how you interact with them, what you think of them... all these factors from your childhood all the way into adulthood will affect the person you grow up to become. Also a reminder to listen to last week's episode and do that writing prompt! Pick a song that speaks to you, and write about it, without actually listening to it. Imagine the song, and then write about it. I'm going to talk more about that this upcoming week. Until then... have a great rest of your week!
