Your thoughts create what you see in the world. Learn how to change your thoughts in order to change your world. You can have a wonderful, fun-filled life. But we all have some limiting beliefs keeping us from enjoying life. This group is meant to uplift and help people feel powerful over their life again.

We adapt mentally to situations, this is both useful & terrifying.
An easy example of adaptation is becoming nose-blind after you bake something. You just get used to the smell and can't smell it hours later when someone new comes in and mentions it.
If you adapt to something that is causing you harm, you become better able to handle the situation, if that is your focus. You won't be constantly thinking about a paper cut while putting out a fire. It's useful to not be reminded of something while you're fighting something else.
But if you don't notice something is "bad" and become used to it, and forget to "fight" it, then you become adapted to that negative thing and it can become worse. You'll notice when it gets worse, but if you don't fight it, you'll get used to it again. And the process repeats.
So when people ask how does the abused woman not understand how bad the relationship was, it's because she got used to it. Like being nose-blind, it painfully obvious to YOU (outsider), but she's become so accustomed to it she can't see how bad it's gotten.

Our society has become numb to many things that would SHOCK an outsider. Think about a person from the 80's in this world. Well, I see the shock, because I didn't allow myself to get AS adapted...
But so many people, many in the democratic party, are just going along with things becoming adapted to crazier and crazier ideas. The pro-lockdown & mandated mask/vax people? The 70s had a pandemic when Woodstock was going on. Think they cared?
The governments around the world are acting like an abusive husband and you're either on the side of the abused wife (oblivious to the abuse because it seems normal to you), or you're in the outsider role wondering why the wife won't leave.
Your experiences of the world are not always a reflection of reality. Your brain has to make decisions of what to focus on, & THAT is what you perceive. Your perception is not always correct because it's not built on all data. So question what you believe. "Is it true ?"

Oftentimes on social media users will make "social comparisons." They see what other people are doing or looking like in their photos and think, "I wish I had that" or "I wish I looked like that." It's the "grass is always greener on the other side" type thinking.
Most people don't post the times when they don't look their best or when they're sick. Married couples don't post all the times they get into fights. It's easy for someone single to look at happy couple pictures on a timeline and think they'd feel better "if only they met someone."
Females may see made-up women or just filters like the ones in the video/article and feel self-conscious about their own looks. Males may see men with hard abs and wish they looked like that too. Check out the link to see how quickly some different poses and lighting can change your abs. https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/influencer-josephine-livin-reveals-truth-face-filters-body-morphing-tricks
We often miswant what others are showing on social media. I ...
If someone is criticizing you, you should ask, “Is it true?”
If it’s true, then there’s something you can do (work on it). But if it’s not true, why spend time worrying about their incorrect beliefs?
Many children internalize the criticisms they receive when younger. Some things may have been true, but they blew them up into larger problems than they were. Some critiques are just plain wrong (from people projecting their own issues onto the child).
It’s our responsibility to check to see if something is true or not. Otherwise, we’ll live a whole life thinking incorrect things about who we are.
Know Thyself.
Some misunderstand getting prayers answered or manifesting things and think it’s too easy so it must be incorrect. And they’ll ignorantly make fun of Christianity or the Law of Attraction belief that you can simply “Ask & Receive.” Of course, that comes from simplifying the belief down so much that it makes it incorrect.
In this article I discuss the caveats to getting what you ask for from both the Christian perspective and Law of Attraction perspective.

We all have limiting beliefs that can distort our view of reality. Because I deal with questioning beliefs, I more easily recognized these limiting beliefs in the "woke." I discuss how having limiting beliefs is like going through life with distorting glasses on in this article:

I also share a few things from James Lindsay (newdiscourses.locals.com) if you'd like to learn more about this from a slightly different perspective than mine.
