"Your mindset is your greatest superpower" Nick Santonastasso
I was listening to one of my favorite You Tube channels, Impact Theory, when I heard this quote, it struck a chord, I resonated with it. I love quotes and I love quotes about the power of our minds. I had never heard of Nick Santonastasso and it was an interesting and inspiring interview. I have listened at this point, probably to hundreds of interviews by Tom Bilyeu and most of his guests speak about the power of mind. Ultimately, I do believe our mindset is in fact our greatest superpower.
Lately however, I have been contemplating a lot just how difficult it is for most people to tap into our greatest superpower, myself included. I have been somewhat disillusioned with the lack of long-term, positive changes in people's lives despite years of counseling, therapy or coaching. Sure some people benefit and can make significant changes to their lives but it is usually a very small percentage. With all the counselors, therapists (MFTs, LCSWs, Clinical Psychologists, etc..) that exist and all the people who come to see us, you would think that our lives would improve significantly...but they don't. Why is that? There are probably hundreds of different answers one can give to that question and I am not in anyway blaming counselors or therapists, we are often placed in a position to do the impossible. A doctor or school will refer a young person to us as a last resort and expect us to somehow fix years of negative habitual thinking, dysfunctional family environments and years of stress and trauma and we are to do it all in 6 months or less. That would be like us expecting doctors to eradicate their patient's diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity (among other medical conditions) and to do it also within 6 months to a year (please).
I do believe there are ways to truly tap into our greatest superpower but it takes a lot of time, money and knowledge. Usually luxuries most people don't have access to. As I write this, I myself am struggling with dedicating just 45 minutes in the morning to my meditation practice and exercise...quite honestly at this point in time, it is non-existent. Most of us living now, will die without ever changing our mindset to allow us to fully yield our superpowers. Lately this thought has been on my mind, perhaps because I just turned 47 and for some reason, it seems the years just keep flying by. At times the thought can be a little distressing because I do not feel I have even come close to expressing my full potential. And before I get too caught up in my distress, I remind myself of the power of my mindset and I also remind myself of my commitment.
My commitment to help bring and make accessible the healing modalities that exist to mainstream culture and lay communities to help us heal the stress and trauma that lies buried in the cells of our bodies, in essence the emotional imprinting that took place in our early years and which continually impacts our lives and which I believe, prevents us from accessing our superpowers.
