Mind , your Mind . Have you ever wondered
0:12
how well you maximize the opportunities that
0:14
you are presented
0:20
with ? Do you have your eyes open and , above all , your mind open
0:22
to seize good opportunities ? What kind
0:24
of opportunities ? For
0:31
example , the opportunity to take care of your health
0:34
, to develop your skills , or the opportunity to
0:36
solve a situation that concerns you ? There
0:40
are often opportunities
0:42
to put your limits on a relationship , personal
0:44
or professional , but do you do it ? Do
0:49
you do something or let the moment pass ? Opportunities
0:52
don't always come with very big announcements
0:54
and bright colors signs . Many
0:58
times , it's the small everyday moments
1:00
that can make the big difference in our lives . It's
1:03
certain that at this moment , there are
1:05
available opportunities for improvement in the issues that
1:07
interest us . Opportunity
1:10
is the good time to
1:13
do something that will serve your needs and goals . That's
1:15
what we call opportunity . Our
1:19
life gives us such moments , such opportunities , and
1:21
it is a very valuable gift . The question
1:23
is what
1:34
do you see ? Are you there
1:36
to accept it more than anything else ? Thank you . And
1:39
opportunities are presented in ways
1:41
that we don't expect or don't recognize immediately
1:44
. It is important to have an open mind and
1:46
a heart , I could say , to
1:49
see beyond the obvious . This
1:52
episode that you hear will
1:54
help you to open your eyes to
1:58
opportunities that you may not notice , that exist , and
2:00
I will share ways to also open your mind so
2:05
that you can overcome your resistance and say yes
2:07
at any opportunity to
2:11
take a step closer to
2:13
achieving your goals . Whoever he is , stay with me
2:16
. Bring
2:21
something to your mind that you want to achieve , to
2:23
change , to create , which you have not yet achieved
2:25
, maybe because you put it back , waiting for
2:27
some other moment . The
2:31
other moment is now , so
2:35
don't let the flexibility determine your course . Keep
2:38
in mind this issue as you listen to
2:41
the episode . It
2:50
will help you a lot to focus on what you will share
2:52
in relation to this thing that interests
2:54
you personally . Thank you for watching
2:56
. The first reason is that you have created in your mind a very specific
2:58
image of how the opportunity
3:00
looks like . Is this true ? You
3:08
may have imagined it in certain conditions , parameters
3:11
. If you expect to see
3:14
something exactly as you imagined it , then
3:16
it is possible , when opportunities appear that have other forms
3:18
, that you do not recognize them . I will give you
3:20
an example . A
3:22
few months ago , in the context of a group of conferences , a
3:25
girl , ioanna , mentioned something
3:27
that she was deeply displeased with . The
3:30
problem is that , due to many obligations , she
3:32
did not have the opportunity to deal with her hobby , which was
3:34
photography . To
3:37
her own credit , however , photography is an activity
3:39
that makes her feel good , that
3:42
helps her find herself , and she misses it a lot in
3:44
her life helps herself to find herself , and
3:46
she misses her life a lot . As I was examining ways to dance and
3:48
again photographs of her life , I suggested to her how to create
3:50
time signed to the activity
3:52
, to her beloved activity , and
3:54
then the contradictions appeared . You
3:57
know , I used to go for a photo another
3:59
time and not the one you suggest , or
4:07
just 45 minutes I had in . Thank
4:10
you that she has the opportunity , from the next
4:12
day and all , to catch her favorite camera , which
4:26
she had left for about two and a half years . The
4:29
next day , ioanna shared with me her
4:32
first photos after so long , and
4:35
her joy was unrivaled . This
4:38
example shows how important it is to
4:41
be open to opportunities , even
4:43
if they do not come in the form we expect them to
4:45
. She had the opportunity
4:47
to photograph , but not with the data she
4:49
already had in her mind , so
4:51
it wasn't logical for her to miss something
4:54
that was so important for her mental balance due
4:58
to these ideas and limitations she had set . I
5:00
see this motive appearing very often in
5:02
my meetings and in my conversations with
5:04
people . Sometimes
5:08
it may have to do with the fact that I don't have the opportunity
5:10
to ask for the promotion I want , or
5:12
I don't get the opportunity to show what I deserve . Are you
5:15
sure , or are you waiting
5:17
for a very specific scenario to appear ? Food
5:19
for thought Life
5:22
is full of expected opportunities . Food for thought Life is full of expected opportunities
5:24
. The key is to be ready to see them and to
5:27
absorb them when they appear
5:29
. Opportunities
5:35
are not always obvious , but if we have
5:37
an open mind and heart , we can recognize
5:39
the ability in every situation and use it in the best way
5:41
. Remember the opportunity
5:44
is there . You
5:50
are available . The second very common
5:52
way with which you might close the door to opportunities is
5:54
by maintaining behaviors that
5:56
do not coincide with your goals , with your
5:58
desires . For whatever
6:00
we want to achieve , there are some prerequisites . If
6:03
we want to lose weight , for example , we have
6:05
to change our dietary habits . You
6:07
can't continue with the same habits and place the responsibilities
6:10
on the lack of opportunities . Do you agree
6:12
? I
6:17
remember , a few years ago , a good friend of mine complained
6:19
that he hasn't slept well in a long time Because
6:22
of his bad sleep . He felt constantly tired and exhausted . It's natural Because of his bad sleep . He
6:24
felt constantly tired and exhausted . It's natural Because
6:27
this situation affects health . In
6:29
this particular case , this person was affected by his
6:31
health , his performance at work , but
6:33
also his relationships . So
6:36
he expressed his desire to help him
6:38
improve his sleep program . During
6:40
the conversation he pointed out how important it
6:43
was for him to achieve his goal . He
6:45
said I will do what I need to do . His
6:47
problem was that he would stay up either in front of
6:50
the TV or on the computer to relax and
6:52
work well , to
6:57
help him , I designed and gave him a night routine
6:59
program with practices that prepare the body for good sleep
7:01
, for quiet sleep . Seeing
7:09
the program , my friend was excited and was waiting to
7:11
do it and obviously to see the results , wanting
7:13
to know how he would do with the application of the program I gave
7:15
him . I took his
7:18
phone after a week and he was
7:20
repeating on the phone that he was waiting for his sleep
7:22
to improve . But at the same time
7:24
he informed me that unfortunately he had not been
7:26
able to apply the program for any of the
7:28
seven days . He had it in his hands . So I
7:30
asked him to explain to me what
7:33
was it that stopped him , what had occurred
7:36
every day for the seven days , and he didn't
7:38
do it . Some of the reasons he
7:40
mentioned were that he wanted to see my team on
7:44
TV . It was an important game and
7:46
he played a lot at night . On the other hand
7:48
, I had a conversation with
7:53
my wife and the time time
7:55
to go without understanding
7:57
it , and she finally told me the following
7:59
Because I didn't keep it for the first three days
8:01
what we agreed on , I left it and
8:04
decided to start again the next
8:06
week on Monday . This Monday has been a relaxing
8:08
factor for success in many cases , for many people
8:10
. My friend had every day the opportunity
8:13
to improve his sleep . Even
8:18
if one day he couldn't do it , he always had the opportunity to
8:20
try again the next day , but
8:23
his behavior and attitude , the way he thought
8:26
, hindered him . Different situations happen
8:28
to all of us for different things . They
8:37
may not happen to us for seven days
8:39
, but for months , for years . Thank you very much . Our lives better
8:41
the next day , not the ideal day , so
8:54
it is worth examining through the story I shared
8:56
with my friend in what
8:58
your behavior needs to be acknowledged
9:00
. Is
9:03
there something that you feel that you really want to
9:05
achieve and your behavior is not
9:07
aligned with this purpose , with your purpose
9:09
? If so , I remind
9:11
you that there are ways , tools and
9:14
methods to build up
9:16
the habits and mentalities that
9:18
sabotage you . You can
9:20
always decide to build up new habits
9:22
and mentalities that will lead you
9:24
forward in your life . Sometimes
9:27
, in order to achieve this , you need training , and
9:29
I offer such training , and
9:31
you can find them on my website , wwwkostantinosicom
9:34
. This will help you
9:36
to do as I said training in
9:40
order to improve your vision and manage your
9:42
emotions and behavior more effectively . Go
9:47
to my website and check it out . We
9:49
are made to change and evolve . It
9:53
is our responsibility to change ourselves , giving
9:56
it that form that makes us feel deeply
10:01
satisfied and inner peace In
10:04
life . We reach where our behavior and
10:08
our stance towards things in situations go
10:11
To conclude the story . I Keep that
10:13
in mind . To conclude the story I was told in relation
10:15
to my friend , I have to say that we finally worked
10:17
on the recognition of self-sabotage
10:19
and through this , we achieved not just improvement
10:22
of sleep , but overall improvement
10:24
in many different aspects of his life . This change
10:27
gave him energy and will
10:30
to be able to pursue , obviously , other goals
10:32
which he had left behind . Remember
10:36
, every day is a new opportunity . Don't
10:38
let it pass unimpeded . Act
10:41
now and watch the changes happen in your life
10:43
in a beautiful , wonderful way
10:45
. The
10:50
third factor that might cut your access to the opportunities
10:52
that exist out there is
10:56
the fear of failure . The
10:58
main difference between the previous two factors
11:00
is that in this case , you recognize the
11:02
opportunity you have in front of you , but
11:05
because of the fear maybe something
11:07
goes wrong , you start to build up the
11:09
opportunity . You can say things like maybe
11:11
now is not the right time , I'll
11:13
wait , I'll do it , but not now . You
11:17
start to understand yourself when you say such things or similar
11:19
things , literally
11:22
catch him in the green by asking
11:24
the question what is it that you are afraid
11:27
of ? It
11:44
is possible for him to answer . I am not afraid
11:46
of to let this opportunity be taken advantage
11:49
of to pass . Such internal dialogues
11:51
bring
11:53
to light important truths , truths that are necessary
11:56
to understand in order to leave behind situations
11:58
that displease you , in order
12:01
to transform your life for the better
12:03
. The key is to demystify the
12:06
fear that prevents you from taking steps forward
12:08
. Such fears
12:12
look like monsters of our childhood . They
12:15
seem like something it is really so scary to take action and
12:17
to fail . Will your health be affected ? Your safety , what will
12:19
happen ? Will
12:33
the future be destroyed if you fail ? If
12:36
nothing happens , then you will certainly grow in fear . Recognize
12:38
it . Recognize
12:42
the conditions you create in
12:44
yourself . You create them . The
12:48
question is to create favorable conditions . The
12:50
fact that you have chosen to listen to me at this moment
12:52
is an opportunity to start
12:54
operating differently from here to the next . The
12:57
fear of failure often keeps us bound in a comfort
12:59
zone that
13:03
is not only comfort . It does not
13:05
allow us to develop . Instead
13:08
of seeing failure as something negative , enter
13:25
it as a very good learning experience
13:27
. Thank you , an exercise that will help you
13:29
overcome the fear of failure . So go to
13:31
YouTube , put my name , konstantinos Haradiniotis
13:34
, and you will find my channel , if you haven't followed it yet and
13:36
find the video titled Learn
13:39
how to handle failure . I believe
13:41
it will help you a lot . Life
13:45
is a continuous process of learning and evolution . The
13:48
fear of failure is just a barrier that
13:58
can be overcome with the right mindset and
14:00
the right energy . Thank you , and the recognition of
14:03
failures as opportunities , and today I begin the journey towards
14:06
the achievement of your dreams and
14:13
the fulfillment of your desires . At
14:20
the beginning of the episode , I encouraged you to bring to
14:22
your mind something you want
14:24
to achieve , to change , to create which
14:27
you have not yet achieved . If you brought something
14:29
to your mind , then , listening to me
14:32
up to this point , you have definitely
14:34
found out what you need to work on in order
14:36
to move forward with your quest . I
14:40
will now share with you an exercise that
14:42
can help you move towards your goal better . You
14:45
can do it now , right now , or , if it's not the right
14:47
time , return to this episode to do it later . The
14:51
exercise is to aim and answer directly . This is important
14:53
to
14:57
the six questions . First question what
15:00
motivates your behavior ? To recognize how
15:02
it prevents me at this moment from
15:04
becoming available to opportunities
15:07
and to move forward with my demand
15:09
. Second question
15:11
what do I really have the opportunity to do ? Ευκαιρίες και να προχωρήσω
15:13
με το ζητούμενό μου ? Δεύτερη ερώτηση Τι έχω πραγματικά την ευκαιρία να κάνω άμεσα σε
15:15
σχέση με το ζητούμενό μου ? Τρίτη
15:17
ερώτηση Τι θα λέω στον εαυτό
15:20
μου για να τον ενεργοποιώ
15:22
, να αναλάβει δράση ? A motto
15:24
that has the power , like a torch , to bring
15:27
your mind back to the right course
15:29
. This
15:33
phrase must indicate what you want to become
15:35
, not what you don't want . It
15:39
is an important component of having positive attitude
15:41
to the language . For example
15:43
, instead of saying I want to not stick
15:46
, say I want to move on . Dedicate
15:50
thought to how you will construct this phrase and write it everywhere
15:52
. Stick it to your office , to
15:54
your fridge , to your mirror . Repeat
15:57
it to yourself every day , because in this way , your
15:59
mind will start to receive a positive and
16:01
beneficial response and
16:03
through this , you will obviously be led to positive
16:06
changes . Think about
16:08
how many things you say to yourself , and because
16:10
you say them continuously , your
16:12
life becomes your reality . You
16:15
can create a better reality by saying the right things . My
16:20
book also , non-tropeia , has
16:23
this logic . It is made for
16:25
this exact reason to help you to synthesize
16:27
a positive word , a
16:29
positive definition for some things that are worth
16:32
, so that they become your
16:34
life . This exercise has been designed
16:36
to help you to gain clarity and to
16:38
create a strong motivation for action , recognize
16:41
the motives of behavior that keep you back , decide
16:45
the immediate actions you can do and set a
16:47
positive message
16:49
that will guide you . Remember
16:52
change starts will guide you . Remember change starts
16:55
from within and the words
16:57
you use have great power . Work
17:00
with this exercise and watch how these
17:02
small changes can
17:04
lead to great results . Daily reminding
17:08
your goals through statements or
17:10
to themselves , as I say , can
17:17
reform the way you think and lead you to a course of continuous
17:19
improvement and success . Don't
17:21
put up with anything else . Every
17:24
moment is a new opportunity
17:27
to become a better version of yourself , so start
17:29
. Today
17:48
is the perfect day to start . Thank you . The
17:50
best time to listen
17:52
to me is when you want inspiration and peace
17:54
. Follow me to get notified for the
17:56
next episode . Until
17:58
the next episode , be careful how you
18:01
think your mind . It
18:03
can go wherever you ask it
18:08
