I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men

Forgive me my nonesense, as also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

Thanks for the nonsense.. I got the ideas!

Nonsense quotes 

Our childhood memories and experiences whether good or bad, flow through us constantly leaving an imprint on our subconscious minds.

Inner Child Wounds

Many are unaware of how much of an important role our childhood has in our development.Especially during our younger years when we are the most susceptible to falling prey to societal norms and others presumptions of who we are supposed to be.During our younger days, we may have been oblivious to the traumas and stressors we endured.

What Is The Inner Child

If your inner child is not healed, you will look for love in the wrong places.

To us it may have appeared normal when in all reality we have experienced some toxic or restrictive circumstances.The inner child never dies but simply transforms as part of our guide system.We are conditioned by the thoughts , emotions and actions or lack there of from our childhood .Sometimes when we are triggered, we allow those feelings or preconceived notions to take the wheel.While we think we are in control, 4-year-old us is taking us through a crash course on repressed emotions and their impact on our psyche.

Unaware Of The Wounds ?

The pains from our past spill over into the present but you don’t have to allow them to reach your future.

Our Inner Child Is Constantly With Us

Abandonment & neglect in any form. Whether it be physical, emotional, or mental abandonment. Anytime you’ve felt left without or come up short when it comes to love, understanding, and support.Abuse: Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse can place permanent scars on your psyche. Leaving one to feel embarrassed or disgusted with others and themselves.Traumatic and dysfunctional family patterns or cycles: when there is a constant conflict whatever the reason can be a rather unsafe environment for an adolescent.

Common causes of inner child wounds:

<ul><li>People-pleasing which is one I struggled with often. It not only shows ignorance of our self-worth but that we are not fully respecting ourselves.</li><li>Having a hard time setting boundaries. Mainly with those you love. Having a fear of telling the people you’re close to no or allowing others to show little to no respect for you and your limits.</li><li>Struggling with your self esteem and feeling like you don’t deserve the good things in life . Have a perspective that you will always get the short end of the stick.</li></ul>

Here are some common signs that your inner child is wounded:

<ul><li>Issues with detachment. When you’re too attached it makes room for suffering. We hold to what we don’t want to lose and it makes it more difficult to form a healthy, trusting relationship with others.</li><li>Self-sabotaging tendencies. At times we can unconsciously create situations and mental scenarios that back up our negative beliefs about ourselves</li></ul>

More Signs

The good news is that even though these wounds run deep, they can be healed with work, time and patience.I struggled for a long time finding the root of my wounds. When I looked at my childhood objectively rather than with adoration and rose-colored glasses, I noticed that a lot of my wounds came from things I perceived in my childhood during my most impressionable years.Not only personal obstacles and afflictions but things perceived in the environment. Toxicity and trauma being passed down can be from outside sources and embedded in our memories unbeknownst to us.

Healing Inner Child Wounds

These are a few ways I learned to work with and cope with my inner child wounds : <ol><li>Acknowledge the wounds: It’s important to figure out my first step is recognizing the pain and its potential source.</li><li>Reparenting yourself and learning to show yourself more compassion: Treat your inner child in the way you needed during your childhood. Provide him or her with what you lack.</li><li>Inner child work healing work: There are many ways including visualization, journaling, and meditation that can help you gain a connection with your inner child and understand the needs that need to be met.</li></ol>

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel 🕯️

4. Therapy or counseling: A therapist or other licensed professional can help by providing you with guidance and offering support in your time of need. They help with unpacking the pains from your past and helping you develop healthy coping mechanisms for your wounds.

More Tips

Healing your inner child’s wounds is not only beneficial to you in the present but also to the future versions of yourself. By becoming aware of these past wounds, we can grow a stronger sense of self-awareness.

How your childhood shaped you and is creeping up in your present.

Understand yourself and those around you.

Inner Child Wounds 

Are you happy? At this exact moment, do you feel satisfied with your life?Most people won’t know how to answer this question. And I don’t blame them.We focus so much on reaching happiness we forget to think about what happiness means. So, how could you know when you’re being happy?

Are you happy?

Listen, I’m not a philosopher. I don’t have any answer to the great questions of humanity. If I did, I would be a billionaire living my best life on a private boat in the middle of the ocean. (Yes, that’s my billionaire imagery.) But I’m here. I’m writing for you, hoping to improve someone’s life. So I will tell you what happiness is for me. And I hope you can resonate or find your meaning. For me, being happy is all about the mindset. If you’re happy, you don’t have any worries but your mindset.You want to do things. You are full of energy. And there’s nothing that can stop you.

The Challenge

Laughing is often linked to happiness – and for a good reason. When you laugh, your brain releases painkillers and stress relievers in your blood. So you feel happier.But how do you laugh more?You talk and banter with people more. Going to work has been easy since I can talk and laugh with my colleagues. But I had to <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/the-art-of-confidence">become more confident </a>and <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/3-simple-rules-to-boost-your-storytelling">learn storytelling </a>to do that.

1 – The Chit-Chat Necessity

<a href="https://www.cosmopolitanmindset.com/how-to-exit-the-comfort-zone/">Leaving your comfort zone </a>is exciting. And when people never do it, it becomes a problem.If you don’t do it, you will never grow. You will never become a better version of yourself. So, what’s even the point?Yet, even if it has many advantages, leaving the comfort zone is scary.You will be happy when you reach your goals because of it. But in the meantime, it’s scary. And it would help if you had the safety of your comfort zone.

2 – The Comfort Zone Crib (1)

To live a happier life, I always take some time to stay in my comfort zone in the evening.I get back home. I prepare something to eat with my girlfriend. And we watch something together on TV.So find something like that. Find a simple place where you can turn back after a long day of grinding. And you’ll be happy.

2 – The Comfort Zone Crib (2)

All my life, I struggled to focus on one thing at a time.I used to switch from one activity to the other. And with my first job, that tendency multiplied.But there’s one thing my developer job taught me – preparation is everything. So now, I always have a five-minute breakdown before each task to prepare for it.

3 – The 5-Minutes Breakdown (1)

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">I think about what I have to do and what I need to do. And if something is missing, I get it.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">I make a fast visualization exercise in which I look at myself doing the work.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">And then, I take a deep breath and get to work. </li></ul>Do the same, and you will experience a lot less stress. You will finish your task faster. And you will be happier.

3 – The 5-Minutes Breakdown (2)

Living life as a daily challenge is fundamental to being happy.Imagine waking up in the morning and feeling thrilled for the day already. You feel the freshness of the air. And you take your hot coffee, thinking about what you will do in the next 16 hours.How can you get the best out of them?How can you stick to your schedule without procrastinating?

4 – The (Daily) Challenge Mindset (1)

Everything will be a challenge today. But you’re happy because boring isn’t interesting. And you can’t wait to see what’s going to happen.With this mindset, nobody can turn off your vibe. So live your life like a daily challenge, and nobody will stop you.

4 – The (Daily) Challenge Mindset (2)

Negative emotions are addictive.Once you get in the negative vortex, there’s no way you’ll get out of it. So be careful how you deal with negativity because it could ruin your day and life.When I was younger, I had trouble dealing with it. Every time something bad happened, my whole world collapsed. And every misstep was enough to throw me back into the vortex of negative emotions.But I <a href="https://www.cosmopolitanmindset.com/the-pitfalls-of-overachieving-3-ways-to-reclaim-your-progress/">practiced mindfulness </a>for a while. And it helped me understand the fragility of our emotions.

5 – The Frail Negativity

“Be happy” would be a hell of a challenge. I know. But I can’t give you something that generic. It wouldn’t be a real challenge.So, this week, I challenge you to focus on one of these five simple mindset hacks and see if they improve your happiness.<ol><li class="ql-align-center">Talk more with people if you don’t do it enough.</li><li class="ql-align-center">Find your comfort zone where to turn when everything’s collapsing.</li><li class="ql-align-center">You can use the 5-minute breakdown trick to finish your task faster.</li><li class="ql-align-center">Challenge yourself daily to do your best.</li><li class="ql-align-center">And learn to avoid negativity or let it go as soon as it reaches you.</li></ol>[<a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/5-underrated-mindset-hacks">DOWNLOAD THE FREE TRACKING INFOGRAPHIC</a>]

His younger twin brother, Seishi Kishimoto, is also a manga artist and creator of the manga series O-Parts Hunter (666 Satan) and Blazer Drive. Two of his former assistants, Osamu Kajisa (Tattoo Hearts) and Yuuichi Itakura (Hand's), have also gone on to moderate success following their work on Naruto.Kishimoto's first work as a manga artist was Karakuri (カラクリ?), which he submitted to Shueisha in 1995. This earned him the Weekly Shōnen Jump's monthly "Hop Step Award" in 1996, granted to promising new manga artists. This was followed in 1997 by a pilot version of Naruto (NARUTO－ナルト－), published in Akamaru Jump Summer.

Du bist wen du kennst. (You are who you know.)

The book’s german title seems to me to better illustrate how this cuts both ways. Network with intention; network with attention; network for worth.

An internationally known public speaker, entrepreneur, and marketing executive shares practical, up-to-date tips for mastering the skills of networking. Networking doesn’t have to be that frenzied old-school game of calendars packed with stuffy power lunches and sterile evenings at community business gatherings. We’ve entered a new era, one in which shifting cultural values and the explosion of digital technology enable us to network in vastly more efficient, more focused, and more enjoyable ways. A fresh take on How to Win Friends and Influence People, Your Network Is Your Net Worth is an entertaining, straightforward guide filled with revealing case studies, hands-on advice, and innovative strategies for building your network. Written by sought-after speaker, entrepreneur, and marketing executive Porter Gale, with a foreword by Apple evangelist and bestselling author Guy Kawasaki, this book shows you how to establish, expand, and nurture your connections both online and off. New ways to network are popping up every day—and Gale tells you how to make the most of them—but even traditional networking opportunities are not the same animals that they once were, and we need to shift our attitudes and approaches accordingly. Networking has evolved from a transactional game to a transformational process. Whereas once it was about power plays, now it’s about charting your own course, following your passions, and making meaningful connections, which in turn increase your happiness and productivity. In addition to chronicling her own rise from an ad agency intern to an in-demand consultant, Gale also shares the inspiring stories of so many others who live by this networking model: a military wife who connects with social media communities while her husband is deployed overseas, a young woman blog-ger battling leukemia, a dyslexic politician who wins elections by telling stories, and the CEO of a Major League Baseball team who once made a phone call that changed the course of his life. When you focus on your passions and reorganize your networking around your values and beliefs, you will discover the kind of lasting relationships, personal transformation, and, ultimately, tangible wealth that are the foundation for happiness and success. With a message both timely and important, Your Network Is Your Net Worth is the definitive handbook to Networking 2.0.
