We’ve all been there.In this age of high-tech information, we grow up under society’s influence about what kinds of clothes we should wear, how we should act, how to communicate and how to get ahead. We are even told what we should want, as well as the best ways to actually get what we want.But what if everything you thought you knew about yourself would come crashing down in an instant? And in the flash of that instant, you’d be forced to examine your life and give an upfront answer to what you REALLY wanted?

Jan and Monika Zands open today’s session of Mindset Academy following the theme of this month, which is exploring the agreements set by Don Miguel Ruiz in his book The Four Agreements. Today, the third agreement will be discussed which is “Don’t make assumptions.” But let’s start from the beginning: “What even is an assumption?” It is information we use to fill a gap. We are trained to do this and we often believe that the assumptions we made on the missing information are the reality. When we receive feedback from others, we can also assume it is our reality, but what others see really belongs to their own belief system and experiences. We have to question our perspectives and realities in order to recognize the assumptions that we are making. There is a set of action steps: 1. Become aware, 2. learn how to make fewer assumptions, and 3. realize where are those assumptions are coming from. Assumptions can get us into trouble, but we can make agreements with others, explaining what we mean, clarifying our intentions, and listening to other´s intentions as well. We often make assumptions: - That people understand what we want and how we feel, - About what we believe is possible, - About what we can and can’t do. On one side there is what really happened, and then an interpretation of what happened. The way to resolve is to ask questions and to clarify. Forgive yourself for judging yourself, and move forward trying to become aware of the assumptions you have made about yourself and others. There will be times where we never know the truth, and we can fill those gaps with the information we choose, make an assumption where you are winning; you get to create your reality from a positive and loving perspective. See your greatness, be your greatness, and pay it forward!   In This Episode You Will Learn: Consider/Ask Yourself: - Become aware of assumptions and the cost they have in your life. - Realize when you and others make assumptions. - Where are the assumptions coming from? - How have assumptions been running your life?   Resources: The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book), by Don Miguel Ruiz

Monika and Jan Zands lead Mindset Academy, a weekly meeting where you can raise your awareness, experience more joy, and spread more love on the planet. This episode was recorded on Mother’s Day; Monika talks about how every holiday is an opportunity to celebrate a spiritual cycle, the energy level in these special days allows to give back the love and share this energy with the ones you can reach. To express to people around us who they are, under our perspective, is a great gift that can change a life. It costs nothing and gives the greatest feeling of appreciation and acknowledgement. We often don’t know how other people see us, and hearing this is a transforming experience. Practice: Tell someone today how you see them; take this as a task to spread love. There is also a powerful way to do this to yourself; using affirmations and self-acknowledgement is a way to achieve this, celebrating where you are right now! Affirmations can be called different ways; the goal is to reach what you say to yourself on a daily basis, that calls you forward into being. We are all connected, we relate to others with what we bring with us… can we leave our “backpacks of bricks,” to connect with others and with our reality now? There is a lot of self-judgment and admission of guilt, this is something we pass along to others around us. To be here now is a series of un-doings, letting go of things, opening to receive things, and being willing to be aware. There is a difference between what you are and what you see you are; what you are is changing all the time, you experiencing the lesson, is what you are now. What we are is how we defined ourselves; we are not our past, our frustrations, or anything we are carrying around in our backpack. Design your own affirmation, the one that represents you and helps you transit difficult moments to go back to your true essence. Start by asking yourself, “How do I serve people the best?” From that place, design your affirmation, first, by serving you, and then bringing that out into others. Practice: Make a list of 25 “I am...” statements, after this statement is where you start to create. Choose three of each every day, and start to see which you resonate more with. Once you realize which represent you the most, write your affirmation, taking those under consideration. Love yourself, love the opportunity to learn, and know that you are doing the best that you can.   In This Episode You Will Learn: Consider/Ask Yourself: -        How many times have you taken others’ “Luggage of problems,” and made them your own? -        Have you ever wondered how to let go of your own “backpack of bricks”? -        What is your “backpack” made of? -        How do you develop willingness?   Key Insights and Ahas: -        Distinguishing between what I am and what I see I am.   Action Steps: Who am I? Who am I witnessing myself to be? The “I” that I define myself as, what lesson is it learning? What am I doing with the lesson? Create your own affirmation, “I am…” and create your reality, based in how you perceive yourself. This is the powerful way to be here now.   Resources: Check iTunes for Mindset Academy or Monika Zands to hear podcasts or try meditations.

Lesson of the episode: Choose your present!   Jan and Monika Zands introduce this month’s topic, which is: You are here now! That  brings the question of Who are you? Which “You” is the one here today? We usually get comfortable being whoever we have been being, and as everybody knows us, but we can get to create whoever we want to be every single time. What if everytime you start and do something you have the choice to decide who you want to be?             The main source of human suffering is wishing things were different than what they actually are. Right now there is nothing you can do to change it, you can either chose it or suffer.  But how can you chose it? Often the reality we get is not what we are expecting, the upset comes when we suppose our reality should be different.             Practice with Jan and Monika: Write down 10 things that you wish were different in your life. Pick the one that impacts you the most. Close your eyes and look at your life. Imagine the movie theater of your life. You are in the movie, your feelings, your circumstances. Now roll the movie back, and go to a time before you felt that way. How was your life then? Now imagine yourself before this upset existed, how do you feel? Now give yourself a little care to prepare yourself for what was going to happen, and play it forward and get back, but tapping into the love you have given to yourself. Create a new ending, chose a different end for the future, free yourself and perceive how do you feel when things turn out the exact way you wanted. Ask yourself: How did this transform you?   Be present, be first, and then invite the world to who you are. The expectations have been made up by us, but things are already the way they should be. Own your present! Choose it! This way we remove suffering and add love!   Key Insights and Ahas: Ask the Universe what you are looking for, so it can be provided to you. The biggest source of human suffering is wishing that something was different than the way that it is. Most of the time upsets are the results of misunderstandings.   Resources: MonikaZands.com

Monika and Jan Zands bring the topic of this month which is “You Are Great!” Connect with your own unique greatness! Sometimes you can think and perceive yourself as not that likable, motivated, or you are just not loving yourself that much. How can you connect back to your greatness? Explore in this session the meaning of greatness itself. The system we live in, tends to pay attention to weakness instead of greatness, and here in Mindset Academy the highlight is on GREATNESS. Practice with Monika and Jan: Let’s follow a process to learn how to connect with your greatness: 1. What do people say is great about you? 2. Come up with a recent example. 3. Find that example throughout your life. Find AWARENESS of what it is you are GREAT at. If you create the intention of connecting with your greatness and connecting with people, the rest of your day will be purpose-filled! Comparing yourself with someone else won’t help you find your greatness, it will make you busy finding what you don’t have, instead of seeing what you really are! Connect with your greatness everyday! In This Episode You Will Learn: Consider/Ask Yourself: How can you connect with your greatness? Become aware of your greatness throughout your life. How are you bringing your greatness to the world, to others? Key Insights and Ahas: We live in a system that pays more attention to people’s weakness than to their strengths, trying to fix failures, and to make everyone reach the minimum acceptable common denominator — A system that doesn’t pay attention to your greatness.

Jan and Monika Zands talk this month in Mindset Academy about the topic “You are not alone.” Often in life we feel that we have all the weight on our shoulders and everything depends on us; but it is not true — you are not alone! Walk outside your door; you are surrounded by people, and our context is there with us all the time. We often get into ourselves, we don’t communicate, we don’t connect because there is so much in our minds, that we cannot see the others existing. We need to redefine the word “alone” like equal to abandoned, away, separated… that is not the truth! Are you doing anything not to do everything by yourself? ARE YOU ASKING FOR HELP? We usually have prejudgements about asking for help, we think we should know, as if being adult means not to need anybody to assist us. Jan and Monika are sharing their current purpose: How do Mindset Academy get their content in the world? How do they spread their word in the planet? Look into your own purpose and follow these steps: 1. Write down what is your primary request: I need help! 2. The secondary request is: What do you really want? Show the universe you are ready to receive! Be as specific as you can asking for what you need. Action must be taken! 3. Then decide Who or What can help you. Make a list of people or organizations. 4. Usually we talk down to ourselves, thinking that we would be ashamed, or not good enough to reach out to these people. Whatever it is that is stopping you, is what is in the way of your getting what you need. “No,” could be an answer, but what is next, what other doors can open? In This Episode You Will Learn: Consider/Ask Yourself: Are we being our greater selves? How do we let go of what is holding us back? Are you doing anything not to do everything by yourself? “I need help!” opens the door to receive.   Key Insights and Ahas: Are you ready to be vulnerable? Are you ready to receive the help you need?

Jan and Monika Zands discuss this topic today: “Your way is not the only way.” They give us foundational tools for you to start living the life that you want. When we were children, we experienced life one way: through our senses, and that way we processed reality was “the only way.” When we get older, we become aware that our way is not the only way. What if you could experience your life by looking at it through different lenses? How would that help you to love yourself and others more? Questioning  your perception, and how others are perceiving you, is one of the first steps. What am I doing? How do I like to serve the world? Are you checking in? When you are... how can you use the information that comes as feedback? There is a complex situation, since everyone sees the world from their own experiences. What you think about yourself is first! Then you start to ask people, according to how close they are to you. Then evaluate how you resonate to their feedback. How do we choose, and decide how to do things differently? Free yourself from self-judgment; you need to get out of your way in order to be able to deliver. Love yourself, others, the moment, and your journey! Humans are designed to be seen and be touched, in order to survive; that is how we experience we are worthy. Monika uses the example of the mother’s and baby’s first encounters, how the mother loves and caresses her newborn, and the major impact this has. Monika and Jan go deeper into two tools: - Reflecting is a beautiful tool that is used to see how the other is feeling, and the feelings that the world is having for you. We are usually so conditioned to just say what we want to say, so we are not really listening to others, creating this feeling of “separation.” - Perception checking is another tool to get closer; asking the right questions: “What did you hear me saying?” and, “This is what I heard you saying.” Learn how to replace “No,” with a “Yes, and…” Listen to practical explanations. Practice, exercise, and become more aware, along with the guidance of Monika and Jan. Become more aware of how you are interpreting everything, and learn new ways to look at it. See your greatness, be your greatness, and pay it forward!

Jan and Monika Zands welcome you to Mindset Academy, a place where you can start living a life of purpose and gratitude, with less suffering. Today´s episode is about how you chose to experience what is happening in your life. Your interpretation of what happens depends on your own perspective. Jan’s and Monika’s purpose is bringing awareness to the various possible perspectives, and to provide the tools to get more joy and less suffering. Are you learning the lessons you need to learn? How do you get unstuck, and learn the lessons life tries to teach you? How could you live the life you love? Being present is the answer. We never actually live in the past or the future, we live in an infinite number of presents. Suffering is in the now, and fed by the past and fear of the future; the upset comes from the feeling that something should be different from the way that it really is. We say to ourselves, It “should” be different! In reality things should never be different than the way than they are. If you go into your “should,” you will always find a judgment hidden. Last week, Jan and Monika explored the options to choose and give yourself permission to shift, and start seeing things differently than how you have always perceived them; this connects to today's show and how you can also stop judgments and shoulds that are conditioning your suffering. We are energetic beings, we keep awareness on the physical aspect and the food we eat that gives us energy to function, but what happens with our mental. emotional, and spiritual levels? Entering the experience of love, is realizing that love equals healing. When you feel love, the experience of loving serves for healing. There is more to be grateful for, than for anything else. Things are constantly happening to us; how we decide to look at them will determine the experience. The orientation shifts if you feel a victim of the situation, or rather, see it as a chance for learning a lesson. Learn how to ask yourself currently, “How does this serve me?” Trust that if life loves you, things will work out; have faith! The universe is always serving us. It is a matter of choosing whether you want to believe the world benefits, or not. There is no scientific explanation that supports this, but still it is your choice to decide what to believe, and how that models your perspective of what is going on in your life. Practice with Jan, Monika and several other people that share their life’s situations during this show; feel the experience resonating with your own life situation. Open up, learn, grow, and become more aware and present!
