Hey! Today we're talking about the concept of internal and external locus of control and its profound implications for parenting and personal well-being. Together, we'll explore how reframing parenting responsibilities from "I have to" to "I get to" can bring a sense of gratitude and joy to our daily tasks, deepening our connection with the role of being a parent. We'll discuss the empowering nature of an internal locus and its impact on self-efficacy and motivation, and I'll share personal reflections on maintaining a flexible work schedule for greater happiness and control over my life. We'll also delve into the pitfalls of helicopter and snow plow parenting, emphasizing the importance of allowing our children to face challenges independently to nurture resilience and self-reliance. Discover how integrating children into household chores can instill a sense of responsibility and connection within the family unit, shaping them into responsible individuals with a strong work ethic.

Hello friends! In this episode I discuss negative mindset, complaining about stupid shit, and explain why and how a negative outlook and interpretive lens is ultimately linked to an external locus of control. If your locus of control stays external, you'll likely suffer unnecessarily until you are able to heal and reorient. In this episode I give examples about all this, and how I recommend we orient and heal instead.

Self-limiting beliefs have the potential to negatively impact our lives. They can hold us back and prompt us to make fear-based decisions, which can at times, lead to the very same painful experiences they have been created to help us avoid. If we do not take action and challenge these beliefs, we can stay stuck in the damaging cycle. It is important to create empowering beliefs which help us to move forward and accomplish everything we set our mind to achieve.This podcast episode takes a deep dive into self-limiting beliefs, looking at where they come from, why they stick around, the neuroscientific perspective, and a number of strategies to help stop these beliefs from controlling your life. We also discuss how we can turn these self-limiting beliefs into liberating beliefs (thank you Matthew Benjamin AKA Bushwacka for the concept to research).In this episode, Amanda is being interviewed by Angela MalikThe Chief Psychology Officer website is now available https://www.thecpo.co.uk/To contact Amanda via LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/amandapotterzirconTo contact Amanda via email: TheCPO@zircon-mc.co.uk TimestampsSelf-Limiting Beliefs·       00:00 – Introduction to Self-Limiting Beliefs·       00:56 – What are Self-Limiting Beliefs?·       01:31 – I'm limited to what I can write here…·       02:18 – Reality is what you make of it·       02:57 – I no longer smoke!·       04:05 – Healthy Habits·       04:53 – Environmental factorsChildhood days of yore·       05:37 – Think back to your childhood…·       06:56 – Adults can be childish too·       08:00 – Bias Revisited·       09:24 – I'm bad at parties, and I want everyone else to see it!·       10:41 – It runs skin deep·       11:14 – External Locus of Control·       12:19 – When you look in the mirror…·       13:23 – Metrics of SuccessNow I'm at work…·       14:31 – Sounds a bit like Imposter Syndrome·       15:35 – Impact & React·       16:04 – Neuroscience!·       17:06 – Impaired judgement·       18:03 – I remember…·       19:19 – The Three MusketeersTaking steps·       20:06 – Stop!·       22:14 – What is real?·       23:10 – I'm open to second opinions·       24:29 – Take back control!·       25:05 – What a Self-Limiting Belief sounds like·       26:24 – I'm not an influencer, but I do contribute·       27:34 – Summary·       28:49 – You're my best friend·       29:57 – A future exercise·       30:41 – The end.

Not quite an incel, not yet a Chad. The gymcel is a little-known, but hugely polarizing figure. Rather than swallowing the black pill and turning away from society (one where evil feminists govern man's ability to get laid), the gymcel takes matters into his own hands and get gains in pursuit of the ultimate Chad-bod. After all, everyone struggles with body image from time to time. So why do women hate him? Or, better yet, why do incels hate him? Hannah and Maia discuss the gymcel and his peculiar role in the ever-expanding Manosphere, giving you a thorough breakdown of all the incel terminology we're sure you've been dying to learn ("looksmaxxing"... "manlets"... "fapstinence"...). Is a figure associated with the worst subsects of the internet worthy of our sympathy? Could the gymcel be more benign than he seems?

Imposter Syndrome is something most of us have experienced, or at least been aware of, at some point in our careers, but how can we overcome it? In this episode, the Chief Psychology Officer explores what Imposter Syndrome is, the different biases that contribute to feelings of imposter syndrome, and the underlying causes. Amanda will also discuss Zircon's own research into the link between Imposter Syndrome and resilience, as well as a number of useful changes both individuals and organisations can make to help people overcome the biases that underlie this self-limiting belief.In this episode, Amanda is being interviewed by Angela Malik.The Chief Psychology Officer episodes are available here https://www.thecpo.co.uk/To follow Zircon on LinkedIn and to be first to hear about podcasts, publications and news, please like and follow us: https://www.linkedin.com/company/zircon-consulting-ltd/To access the research white papers mentioned in this and other podcasts, please go to: https://zircon-mc.co.uk/zircon-white-papers.phpFor more information about the BeTalent Resilience or if you would like to complete the Impostor Syndrome/Self-Belief pilot questionnaire mentioned in this podcast and receive a short summary report please email Hello@betalent.com.TimestampsImposter Syndrome·       00:00 – Introduction to Imposter Syndrome·       00:54 – What is Imposter Syndrome?·       01:22 – Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low·       02:46 – It's for girls?·       03:25 – How do you get Imposter Syndrome?·       04:41 – Out of the ashes of the COVID-19 pandemic·       05:10 – The Demographics·       06:07 – ¾ of people experience it!·       07:46 – I don't want to talk about it…·       08:51 – The Young OnesI want to tell you a story…·       10:02 – Performance Anxiety·       12:04 – How do I know if I have it?·       13:04 – What I felt…·       15:42 – A real success storyHow are you feeling?·       16:30 – What are the triggers?·       17:31 – Bias·       18:19 – I don't have enough time!·       19:03 – Life's a b****·       19:35 – Let's go inside no.9·       20:17 – Perfectionism·       20:46 – External Locus of Control·       21:35 – Whose more susceptible?Listen·       22:14 – Neuroscience!·       23:22 – Resilience·       25:19 – Strengths·       26:10 – It's not always seen on the outside…·       27:28 – Dialogue·       28:07 – How can I help?·       29:49 – You never think about yourself!·       31:03 – How can the business help?A culmination of our research·       32:20 – The Questionnaire·       34:55 – It's for everyone!·       35:36 – The end.

How much trust did you have that the sun would rise this morning? And even if it was hidden by clouds, did you still trust that it was there?Unless you live near one of the polar caps, where you can go for months without seeing the sun, no doubt you had enough certainty that you didn't need to apply any trust at all. You were certain it was going to rise and can be certain it will rise again tomorrow.Much of the stress in our lives is caused by uncertainty, which we smooth over by applying trust or faith to a situation or to a person, but that's an approach that leaves us exposed to outside influences.In this episode, Thom shares a sure-fire approach to dial up the certainty in our lives and to make us resilient to the uncertainty that we need to keep life interesting.We are certain you'll enjoy this episode :-). Episode Highlights[01:02] Object-referral Way of Looking at the World[03:31] Problem Means Problem Consciousness[05:10] No More Problem[06:01] Self-referral Consciousness Commences with Vedic Meditation[07:53] Consciousness Field is the Knower, Knowing and Known[09:55] We Start Taking More Responsibility for What we Are Experiencing[11:40] Percentage of Self-referral Awareness[13:47] Internal Locus of Control[15:18] External Locus of Control[17:16] Faith and Trust - Suspension of Disbelief[19:41] Certainty is Better than Trust[21:18] Absolute Supreme Knowledge[23:02] Vedic Rishis Don't Operate on the Level of Trust[25:06] Knowledge Has Organizing Power[27:21] Knowledge of the Knower has Infinite Organising Power[29:26] Capture the Fort - Then the Entire Territory Belongs to You[31:24] Water the Roots of the Tree - the Underlying Transcendental Field of the Tree[33:44] Someone Who Meditates Becomes an Agent of the Evolutionary ProcessUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Do you find yourself feeling like life is out of your control?  In this episode, Carrie is going to talk to you about something called the “Locus of Control” and how your MINDSET can impact how much control you feel that you have in your life.  The truth is… you CANNOT control all of your circumstances.  There is ALWAYS something chaotic just around the corner.  But if we place blame on those chaotic situations around us, if we keep WAITING for life to stop being chaotic before we begin making progress… we will never reach our goals.The Locus of Control is about a shift from external to internal control.  You can't control your circumstances, but how much you believe you can control your response to chaos will greatly impact your sense of control.  Your circumstances do not have to dictate your response!  In this episode, Carrie will talk all about HOW you can keep directing yourself back onto the right path and make progress toward your goals EVEN in the face of chaos.  She will discuss…Signs of an External Locus of ControlSigns of an Internal Locus of ControlTransition to an Internal Locus of ControlAre you ready to switch from an external to internal control mindset?  Are you ready to create YOUR plan of action!?Book yourself a FREE call with one of our coaches: https://training.disruptivenutrition.com/booknow?el=msg    OR learn more by checking out our FREE seminar:www.disruptivenutrition.com/seminar Learn more about making good nutrition a sustainable lifestyle by heading over to Facebook to interact with Carrie and her team!  We answer questions, share timely and relevant information, and even share our grocery store finds!  You can find us by going to www.facebook.com/groups/dietdisruptors!  Be sure to subscribe to this podcast to learn more as Carrie and her coaches continue to disrupt everything you THOUGHT you knew about nutrition! Sponsor: Disruptive Nutrition's FREE 5 Day Seminar  www.disruptivenutrition.com/seminar

Hypnosis is often seen as having therapeutic value, a way of overcoming problems caused by an ‘incorrect psyche.' Because of the layer of silence achieved inside a Vedic Meditation sitting, Vedic Meditation, we're frequently asked if it is actually a form of hypnosis.The short answer is no. Vedic Meditation is not hypnosis, but to understand the answer fully requires a closer look at what hypnosis is. Though hypnosis may be done with good intent, and may apparently have some ‘good' effects, and may appear to be beneficial, essentially it's a form of manipulation. So in that sense, hypnosis is in fact the opposite of Vedic Meditation. Vedic Meditation provides an opportunity to transcend the mind, to go beyond the small s self, the field where hypnosis has an impact, to the big “S” Self, where hypnosis has no impact whatsoever, and where the psyche can obtain benefits far beyond anything that hypnosis can deliver, and in perfect alignment with Nature.Listen to Thom explain this more fully, looking at the subject both from an individual perspective and also from the group perspective, explaining the impact of suggestibility and the role of Vedic Meditation in combating its effects. Episode Highlights:[00:00] - Is Vedic Meditation a Form of Hypnosis?[01:59] - Locus of Control[03:28] - A Construct of Exterior Influences[04:52] - The External Locus of Control at Play[04:58] - Field Dependency and a Narcissistic Approach to Life[07:49] - Internalized Locus of Control[08:58] - Who is a Control Freak?[10:41] - The Loving Controller[12:06] - The Element Of Suggestibility[13:45] - The Field-Independent Person[14:47] - Suggestibility and Influences of the Outside World[16:44] - Mass Suggestibility[18:32] - Being: The Fountainhead Of Creative Intelligence[20:28] - The Cause of the Evolutionary Process[22:11] - Hypnotizability and Suggestion[23:42] - Self-Hypnosis[24:56] - Changing Psyche On The Basis Of Suggestibility[26:24] - Suggestibility and Terrible Behaviors[28:07] - Hypnosis for Addiction[29:31] - The Inexperienced Gardener[30:41] - Fixing the Symptoms[31:42] - The Role of Vedic Meditation[32:42] - Experiencing The Inner Potentiality[34:43] - Becoming More Ideal Citizens[36:21] - Creating Social Change[38:18] - Buckminster Fuller and the Analogy of the Trim Tab[40:51] - The Consciousness-Spreader EffectUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoles/https://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoles https://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

This episode we look into Tara Brach's concept of Radical Acceptance, which explores ways of opening up to uncomfortable feelings with a compassionate attitude and willing acceptance. We look at the importance of the sacred pause, compassion in relationship, striving vs acceptance and not using mindfulness as a control strategy. Hope you enjoy.

People with an “external locus of control” generally believe that their successes or failures result from external factors beyond their control, such as luck, fate, circumstance, injustice, bias, or people who are unfair, prejudiced, or unskilled. One key to mental health is understanding that you have more control over the outcomes of events in your life. That control is there for the taking, and Dr. Kim Lannon tells us that becoming aware that you are probably avoiding it is an important first step.

Sasha and Stella continue their series which peers behind the curtain of depth work with gender-questioning clients. Today, they weave in philosophy and psychology to discuss the importance of authenticity, happiness, and connectedness. They also explore the value of art in the slow evolving process of an emergent Self.

What does it mean to be authentic? So many teens feel different from others and they feel like no one else understands the feelings they're going through. A lot of gender-questioning teens are asking very common existential questions. It often shows up everywhere, really. Sasha often likes to ask what are some of the common triggers to her client's gender dysphoria. The answers are very interesting and insightful. Going from a child body to an adult body is very jarring. If a child is experiencing same-sex attraction, therapists really need to slow down in this process and explore. Everybody says they're pro-LGBTQ, but they just don't want it for themselves. There is a lot of bullying going on in schools when someone is gay or a lesbian — a lot of bullying. It's one thing to say you're okay with it, but it's quite another to be experiencing same-sex attraction physically. Sasha works a lot with helping her clients find their own voice that's not a reaction towards their parent's wishes. When parents are so adamant about what the “right thing” is for their children, the children end up doubling down even further. Sasha loves to do these “gender timelines” to help the child see how their views change over time. Stella really likes to go “behind the label.” Yes, they're calling themselves certain things, but let's dig deeper as to why. Some children also have a hard time accepting their very “ordinary” selves. Let's explore internal vs. external locus of control. Young people have been sold this idea that they can control how other people perceive them. Stella likes to encourage her clients to develop their own sense of style. Not develop a style based on “what they think it means to be trans.” What her clients come up with is often very freeing. Stella is also curious to understand whether medications are suppressing libidos and this means young teens feel like they have to question their gender more because they feel stuck and they're not progressing like their peers are.

We discuss the importance of teaching students to take responsibility for themselves, how their locus of control affects their actions and even future, and what we can do about it.

Most people, most of the time, allow life to happen to them. “Life is difficult” begins M. Scott Peck in the ‘70s classic “The Road Less Travelled”. What remains most surprising, is that, for many people, this is a revelation! If you are alive, and get out of bed today, there will be a challenge for you to face. Something will happen that you will either: Choose to do something about and take action, or Find that you have to do something about and react. And your choice at this point matters a great deal. Purpose In this guide we’ll consider how critical it is to make a good choice in response to the many varied challenges we face every day. How easily we can get trapped by “Effect” and the two enemies of our mind into a spiral of anxiety and fear or be at “Cause” for ourselves and our life. Process I’ll introduce you to the two cycles of Being at Cause, and Being at Effect. We’ll examine the two enemies of our mind and debunk some brain myths about emotion that will put you, and your brain, back in a sense of control. Then we’ll consider a couple of powerful Neuroscience hacks that you can employ immediately to choose to be at Cause. Payoff At your next challenge or obstacle you face today, use one or both hacks and begin to feel that locus or sense of control. This will immediately give you an extra flush of dopamine and serotonin which will make you feel great. More importantly, you'll know that you are not at the mercy of your emotions and on the road to victorious living. Your choice in the face of every challenge matters: In the first - you choose to take action knowing that there is (or will soon be) an obstacle or challenge that you will need to overcome. You may need to experiment and keep on approaching the obstacle until you get your desired result and celebrate your victory. All the while, you are learning how to better tackle future challenges. You have chosen to be at CAUSE for your life (this part of it, anyway) and your have adopted a growth mindset. In the second - you will confront the two enemies of the mind: “What if”, and/or “If only“ “What if” is your fear of the future. What if I’m wrong? What if I make a bad decision? What if I fail? “If only” is your regret of your past. If only you had paid attention the last time/at school/to your coach. If only you had more skills/money/connections/friends/lovers. Fear of the future means that you like to avoid obstacles just in case you fail (again). Regret of the past means that you adapt to go around the obstacle because you (believe that) you lack the resources necessary to succeed. Either way - your results will be less than you desire - so you’ll probably blame yourself or someone else, be disappointed and adopt a survival vision of life because life is indeed difficult and you are at EFFECT in your life. When we are at EFFECT, it’s easy to excuse our own choices. After all, history proves our point and we are at the mercy of our feelings, and everyone knows that our primal emotions are easily triggered. Only they’re not! Time to debunk some flawed theories about emotions Since Darwin in the 1860s theorised that our human brain evolved from lizards and MacLean’s triune brain in the 1960s - the popular theory is that our emotions are triggered in the “lizard” brain (from the outside world) and this determines our actions and choice. It may be popular and compelling, but it’s wrong, and neuroscientists have known this for decades. Our emotions aren’t “triggered” in our “Lizard" brain (nor the Limbic system!) Actually, our brains make predictions (constantly and continuously) about what is going to happen based upon our personal experience in and through life. These predictions, based on concepts constructed on the fly from internal sensing networks (our interoceptive network) and from our perceptions of what is happening outside (proprioception). The groundbreaking book “How Emotions are Made” by Lisa Feldman Barret, tells the detail of Constructed Emotions and is a must read for a complete understanding of this (it's also available on my favourite book site: Scribd.) In it, you'll also have the notion that there is a universal recognition of facial expressions with specific emotions blown away. This construction of our emotions does happen extremely quickly and we are most often unaware that we are in fact constructing emotions because it is beneath our conscious perception - but we can attune ourselves to better notice and thus interrupt any rapid response with deliberate thought and choice. Having turned the conception that emotions are triggered and not under your control on its head, let’s just turn you inside out whilst we’re here :-) Barret’s book provides the detailed neuroscience behind this but it’s best summarised in Malcolm Gladwell’s truly excellent: “Talking to Strangers” (if you haven’t had a chance yet, do get the audiobook - it sets a new standard for audio books.) as the “Friends Fallacy”. If you watch an episode of Friends with the sound off, you can easily deduce what's going on and how each character feels in the scene. The actors blatantly and with exageration display the “universal” emotions on their faces and bodies. Only there are no “universal” signs and many people deliberately hide their emotions (in real life). That is Darwin's theory and more importantly for anyone arrested by the police or FBI in the USA, Paul Ekman’s theory of universal expressions of emotion, are wrong. The next time you see someone frowning or curling their lip, don’t be too hasty to jump to conclusions about their feelings. What this means is that you (and I) need to choose how to respond to situations and other people. Heck we need to choose our reactions to what happens inside of ourself. We need some control. ### A Christian thought sidebar As a born again Christian and behavioural neuroscientist these new findings fascinated me. Interestingly, Lisa Feldman Barret is culturally Jewish but a self-proclaimed atheist and in parts of her book disdains the idea that we are created in God’s image with a spirit or soul, claiming that Darwin put paid to that idea with “the evolution of man”. Meantime, the research points out that our brains have not evolved from a primate or lizard as Darwin suggests. Fabulously though, the idea that emotions are constructed and that all our thinking can be brought under control (captive to the obedience of Christ 2 Co 10:5) implies that we do have free will. Whereas the disproven theories that our brain makes a decision based on emotional triggers BEFORE we are conscious of it seriously undermined the realisation of free will. The Book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom that shows us how to make better choices in life. As does Ecclesiastes and the oldest book in the Bible, Job. And Christian’s know that we can cast all our cares and anxiety on Him (1 Pet 5:7). It seems that neuroscience is slowly catching up with the truth of the Bible :-) How can I choose if I’m not in control of the situation! There are many things in life that you are unable to control. Everything outside of you! Everything inside of you is within your control. Sure there are some things that happen inside that at this moment you cannot control - for example, I had a massive heart attack on July 4th 2014 at 11:33 in the morning. I wasn’t able to control it at the time, that is true. “If only” I had taken action earlier to prevent it: never smoked that first cigarette, eaten healthy, kept fit, maintained weight, not eat fatty foods, avoided undue stress. Choices have consequences and bad choices tend to have bad consequences. Now I make better choices. You’re not in control of your boss’s mood when you need to spend more on a project, or delay an order, or miss the monthly target. But you can choose a different approach toward them that might work. You cannot control the storm clouds spoiling your wedding day but you can choose to have a tent on standby just in case. You may think that you cannot control your stress or anger in the moment, but you can. It may take practice and it may take a moment or two, but you can. What we need is a sense of control Psychologists refer to this as a problem of your Locus of Control. This is the belief that you, as opposed to external forces (beyond your influence) have control over events in your life. Being at Cause is having an Internal Locus of Control, whilst Being at Effect, is having an External Locus of Control. Become aware of how you tend to view situations and ask people who know you well. Two quick questions for you: Do you tend to blame everyone and everything else for every misfortune or do you tend to blame yourself? Do you think that everything good is because you are brilliant (and in control) or do you attribute success to others? Be especially aware if you think everything successful is because of you and every failure is someone else’s fault. Going Beyond Resilience and Well-Being Organisations and HR teams talk a lot about improving resilience and well-being these days. The enforced virtualisation of work in 2020 and the slow emergence of the hybrid workplace is costing a lot of mental stress. Resilience gives you the capacity to deal with ongoing stress, adapt efficiently to changing situations, cope with work and ‘bounce back’ from setbacks. When you are in a state of wellbeing at work, you’re able to develop your potential, be productive and creative, build positive relationships with others, and make meaningful contributions. Choosing to be at Cause is the inflection point of these critical abilities. When you choose to be at Cause, you are choosing to use your creativity to experiment with possible solutions to overcome obstacles or challenges, improving your personal wellbeing by learning each time from success and failure and, resiliently, trying an alternative solution until you achieve the desired results. To reinforce your choice, celebrate! Even a quick fist pump, and secret nod to yourself will give you an extra dopamine spike and that will help you consolidate your learning and memory of what works well and what doesn’t work so well - further enhancing your wellbeing and resilience. Choosing to be at Effect (and it is your choice!) is the moment you have decided that either your fear of the future or some regret you have in your past has already decided your future failure. Thus you avoid obstacles or adapt until you somehow get beyond them and achieve less than desired results. Repeat this enough and your resilience melts away and your wellbeing turns into sickness and chronic disorders. As I say - it’s your choice. And the choice you make matters a great deal. OK, so how do I do it? I’m going to share two super neuroscience based brain hacks that will give you the power to choose to be at Cause - if not every time, then most of the time. They are AdvantEdge Hack #2 - The Secret Power of the Pause, and AdvantEdge Hack #3 - Who’s Your Caddy? There are five steps and, with practice, the first 2 will take you about 4-5 seconds. Steps 3-5 perhaps 3 to 5 minutes. Step 1 is to become aware that you are facing a challenge or obstacle and reacting to it. You may say, John that’s obvious… well sometimes it isn’t. You’ve seen something, heard something, felt something, tasted something or smelt it. To do Step 2 you need Hack #2 - The Secret Power of the Pause. You’ll find the details of the hack in the link (and the neuroscience behind it. So pop over there and come back when you’re ready.) Step 2: Take ONE deep breath. As deep and long as time allows. Yes, your brain may well be ahead of you already. After all, it’s busy predicting what’s going to happen next and you are already adjusting your body budget for the predicted future - adrenaline to run or fight, a dose of cortisol, some cytokines to fight pathogens, increased heart rate. That’s all OK, because all of this activity needs energy and it needs more oxygen. Simultaneously, you are exerting a little more control of your brain’s choices and thinking about them. Step 3. Choose to be at Cause for your response (even if you choose to react and avoid the obstacle, you are choosing, though please do reflect on your choice and consider if maybe, perhaps, there might have been a better way. Which leads me to Hack #3 - Who's Your Caddy? Step 4. Follow that link and learn about this tremendous tool to improve your decision making. For now. Whether you chose to take action and overcome the challenge, or you chose to react and avoid or adapt, now is the time to branch back to Cause.Reflect on the situation, reflect on your choice, consider what happened from: Your own Point of View The POV of the other party (most challenges do involve another human.) A third party who is connected to the challenge, and A fourth - external, person you consider as your mentor, wise coach or just someone you respect and admire. Learn what they advise you to do (all in your own perceptual mind this!) Step 5. Rinse and repeat Pausing alone will change your life, by the way. And yes, this is a process that others call ‘mindfulness’. Do it often. Before long you will steadily shift to being more at Cause for your life and choices and other people will begin to take notice. They may even ask you what happened to you. Teach them this and one day the world will be filled with people who take responsibility and accountability for their lives and the lives of those around them and the world will be a much better place to be living that life. You’re on your way to #JOYATWORK

In this episode we look at the perception of control in our lives and how this relates to the way we see the world. We explore two ways to view our world; an Internal Locus of Control versus an External Locus of Control. The way we perceive events that happen to us can be applied to the way we cope to challenges in our lives. When a person feels that they have some control over what happens in their life this shows an Internal Locus of Control. With an internal locus of control, the person can feel a sense of self determination and self efficacy. On the other hand, if a person believes that they have no control over their lives and blames external variables, this shows an External Locus of Control. Someone with an external locus of control feels that things "happen to them". This kind of world view can lead to feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. How do you view your world?

A discussion of the two Personality Traits that individuals use to process and understand how they deal with life events and situations.

I did an episode last year talking about the Internal Locus of Control. I had never heard of this concept before. I had never heard of that term “Internal Locus of Control” until I read about it in a book by Charles Duhigg, called Smarter, Faster, Better. The opposite of that is an “External Locus of Control”….these are people that have a weak Internal Locus of Control…they blame the surroundings around them, they blame the things that they have no control over. They give credit to the things that “happen” to them to everything and everyone else, around them. Get the FREE E-BOOK >>> 4XFORMULA.COM

This week is all about where we place the control in our lives. The location of this control is called Locus of Control, and we all fall somewhere between an Internal Locus of Control and an External Locus of Control. People with an Internal Locus of Control feel that they are in control of their own destiny and people with an External Locus of Control feel they aren't.Neither one of these are right or wrong, they're just personality traits that are really good to be aware of. They both have pros and cons to them so once you know what they are, you can pick and choose how you want to live your life. Pros for people with an Internal Locus of Control:-        They take responsibility for the things that happen in their lives-        They are hardworking because they know that THEY have the power to influence the result-        They know that they can take action to improve their situation-        They learn from their mistakes because they take responsibility for them-        They are more successful Cons for people with an Internal Locus of Control:-        They are straight to the point and sometimes very hard to work with-        They have a strong mindset, either consciously or subconsciously, that it's their way or the highway-        They find it hard to delegate because they generally want control of whatever it is that needs to be done Pros for people with an External Locus of Control:-        They are great team players and at praising everyone in the team for doing such a great job-        They are great at letting go of things that don't work out for themCons for people with an External Locus of Control:-        They tend to blame external factors for things that happen to them-        They don't like to take responsibility for things that go right or wrong-        They often feel powerless and helpless to change the outcome-        They play down their successes and put it all down too luck rather than their hard work-        They give up earlier because as soon as something goes wrong, they feel it's out of their control to change the outcome and fix it-        They feel like they are the victim because everything is happening TO them not FOR them As I said, there is no right or wrong way to this personality trait and it is something that you can adapt into your life however you see fit. To change this trait though can take a lot of work and you really need to be consciously aware of how you use your self-talk. This trait has most likely been with you from a very young age. Let's connectFacebook - @TheInjuredBrainInstagram - @TheInjuredBrainTwitter - @TheInjuedBrainLinkedIn - @TheInjuredBrainEmail – scott@scottbharris.com.au

On today's episode of KBRS, I go further into these statistics... They really paint a large divide in CHOSEN behavior between the rich and the poor. The disappointing part is that poor statistically don't agree with the chosen part. Education is the real divide between the rich and poor and you will see why in this fascinating marathon episode of data and commentary.  This episode has a lot to do with INTERNAL vs EXTERNAL Locus of Control. If you don't know what that is, I will suggest you check that out. The raw data discussed today was directly off of THIS page: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/author-spent-5-years-interviewing-177-selfmade-millionaires-to-find-their-secrets-findings-inside.83705/ I also, after being fascinated by these statistics, I looked up the author of the stats. The data was collected by a Dr. Randall Bell and he has several books on the matter. I did actually go buy two of them IMMEDIATELY after I recorded this show.

People with an internal locus of control believe that they change their environment. People with an external locus of control believes their environment changes them. When someone with an external locus of control marries someone with an internal locus of control, we have one person believing that all of their emotions and marital issues are because of the other person. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/marriagefamilypeace/message

Does “The Universe” control your destiny...or do you? That is a question pondering the minds of many people from all walks of life. I don't know about you, but if I sat on my laurels and chose to let "The Universe" take the reigns over my life and business - nothing would happen. However, If I took complete and total responsibility and accountability over my destiny - I also know that leaves me fully accountable for all of my failures. It means I would probably beat myself up over things that I truly had no control over. So how do you walk the fine line between gaining control of your life and letting things be? How do you balance controlling your destiny and letting “The Universe" do the heavy lifting? In today's episode, I discuss how you can control your own destiny while still trusting that “The Universe” will provide. I discuss the impact of leaning too heavily on "The Universe" to fulfill your destiny and explain the Locus of Control concept in psychology. I discuss how taking too much control and accountability over your life can lead to negative effects, like stress and anxiety. I also share strategies to help you strike a balance between trusting in "The Universe" to provide what you need to succeed while also taking control of your destiny. “The Universe IS the wave. We don't know where The Universe is going - but we DO have control of how we surf it.” - Erin Baker This week on Life in the AND: The Locus of Control concept and the impact of having a high internal Locus of Control The difference between people with high Internal Locus of Control versus high External Locus of Control The pros and cons of Internal and External Locus' of Control Finding a balance between letting "The Universe" control your destiny while taking control of your life and business trajectory Balancing high intentions with low attachments to the final outcomes Getting clear on what you're truly responsible for Why frequently trying to prepare for the worst is a mistake many high-performing leaders make Resources Mentioned: The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life's Perfection by Michael A.

On this episode of The Alliance Activity podcast, Mike Lewantowicz fills in for Andy Albright, who is traveling on business this week, to talk about what it means to take ownership. This is How I See the Definition of Ownership: Whatever you're doing, you take full and complete responsibility for making sure that whatever is supposed to happen does happen. It doesn't matter if your upline is an idiot or the carriers have a bad attitude. The only thing that matters is that YOU give it your all and that YOU make sure that you've done everything in your power to generate that outcome. If you are living the definition of ownership, you should easily be able to answer yes to the following questions: Do you live how you want to live? Do you go to bed at night completely satisfied with your day's effort? Do you show up exactly how you want others to show up for you? 4 Reasons Why People Don't Take Ownership: They're not interested in taking ownership 2. They don't want to take ownership 3. They don't know they're not taking ownership They don't have the skills to take ownership They’re not interested in taking ownership: Many roles don't require people to exceed expectations, just deliver what's needed. So this shifting focus of our problems onto other people and things allow us to perpetuate the myth that we are fated to live our inevitable lives with no control over the outcome. "They're going to do what they want to anyway." Note:The "They" represents the people in charge. They don't want to take ownership: It's a simple trap to fall into. It feels easier to blame others for our circumstances than to shoulder the blame. But by blaming other people or things, we give away our power. Ultimately, this way of thinking, left unchecked, becomes quite intentional. It might even become Machiavellian, employing devious and ingenious methods to avoid doing what is needed to be done. "It's not my fault that the company doesn't have its' act together." They don't know they're not taking ownership: Do people know what taking ownership is actually like? Maybe they think they're performing well. Maybe they don't realize they're actually not doing what is expected of them. This condition is called "unconscious incompetence" and it stems from a lack of feedback. Be clear about what "good" looks like in their role. "I am doing the best I know how to do." They don't have the skills to take ownership: People might actually be unaware of their lack of skill and just quietly struggle on, unable to identify why they can't seem to get it. Therefore, taking ownership requires getting others to know what they're taking ownership of. Also, this means motivating them to do more than just what they're told. "I am just doing what I have been told." The Role of "Locus of Control" in Taking Ownership: How we think and act is determined by many factors including our belief system, personality, upbringing, and behavioral tendencies. But our ability to influence our own circumstances is governed by our locus of control. This locus of control is either: Internal or External? Internal Locus of Control: This type determines your level of personal responsibility. You're more likely to hold yourself accountable and work hard for the things you want. Realization from Internal Locus: "No one was put on this earth to make me happy." External Locus of Control: Within this type, you tend to blame external factors for your circumstances. You see other people or things as reasons for not achieving your own goals. Realization from External Locus: "I am not happy, so somebody owes me some happiness." If you're ready to make a change, here's how: Notice Your Blaming Tendencies by saying, "What is my role in this?" Focus on Solutions by saying, "How can I?" vs. "I can't." Practice Your Power of Choice by saying, "I choose not to be a victim anymore." Become Accountable by saying, "Nobody owes me anything." Try Discomfort by saying, "Change never happens in my comfort zone." www.NAALeads.com @NationalAgentsAlliance @NAALeadsTheWay www.AndyAlbright.com @AndySAlbright #TheAlliance #DoTheDo #N247RU

This episode dives deeply into exploring what your focus is on with regards to your perceived control and the problem vs. solution focused approach to your goals. Jen explains the difference between Internal and External Locus of Control and shares which one breeds resilience and leads to greater success in your life and habits. When you’re focused on the problems, issues, people to blame or other negatives in your life, you will see more of those appear, whereas when you are solution focused you will inevitably see not only more success but more positive affirmation that the path IS in fact open to you. Jen describes learned helplessness and where it stems from and how it leads to more anxiety, depression and lack of motivation. Practicing gratitude and appreciation for what is, allows you to start to see more of the things to be grateful for actually appear in your life. What you appreciate appreciates, and your whole life will feel more vibrant and filled with joy when you see that even waking up each morning is simply the greatest gift. Through her two step process she shares around Awareness and Action, Jen leads you to feeling better and more in loving control regarding your approach to your body, life and goals.
