#10 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes Wisdom On The Web The science of psychological manipulation has been weaponized. Unless you’re aware of how it works, you’re not just a target, you’re an easy target. The moment you let your guard down, the moment you run your mind on “autopilot”, you’re vulnerable. Here’s the good news. Once you learn the blueprint of how these tactics work, they lose their power over you. It’s like installing a mental firewall. Instead of reacting blindly, you start spotting the trick the second it shows up. You become impossible to gaslight. You stop folding under pressure. You finally see the game for what it is.

Life Power Tip Action conquers fear. Take even the smallest of actions toward a goal that makes you slightly afraid. Replace the term “fear” with the word “excitement”. You will find that once you are taking action toward accomplishing your desired outcome, you will naturally move into the realm of excitement. Action Be extra sensitive to everyone else’s needs for today. Challenge Always have the end in mind, and develop a personal mission statement, philosophy, or creed. Quote A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time. -Anne Dillard Clearing Does your calendar work, or do you use it because it is what you know?

GN Nostriches My bank did some anti fraud "thing" when I went to buy some more satoshis while it's at $76k. Sent them email because can't call them at night. Said their reply might be 5 days. Won't have time to call them till tomorrow afternoon. Grrrr! 🤬 Maybe BTC will fall further. 😂

#8 Of 365 Forward Steps Notes Wisdom On The Web Have you ever looked back on a conversation and thought, “Why did I agree to that?” It happens more often than we like to admit. Sometimes it’s subtle, you feel a little guilty, a little pressured and suddenly you’re doing something you never planned on. The truth is, influence rarely feels like influence in the moment. It feels like your own idea. That’s why it works so well. Once you see the patterns, everything changes. You start spotting the moment when someone is steering you. The pause they hold a little too long, the “compliment sandwich” before a difficult ask and the way they frame a choice to make one option look obvious. This isn’t about becoming suspicious of everyone. It’s about staying in control of your own decisions, even when the pressure is on. (Link is below)

Think about who you are, in relationship to your goals, and what you need to do next, to achieve that next big ideal for your life. Action Be a part of your community by offering yourself as a volunteer. Challenge All day today, love the task that is in front of you, at the time that it is there to do it. Quote A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. -Max Planck Clearing Are all your music or any audio collections in one place and labelled? Question Are you aware of when you are choosing and when you are running on automatic? Affirmation I choose to feel that people conspire for my success.
