Max Weigand understandiing Will Power is not enough

My guest today argues that willpower isn't enough. Max explains that we each have a certain amount of willpower to last our whole day, and if we are using too much throughout the day, on the wrong things, by the time we get to early evening, we have little to no energy, and we beat ourselves up. Max and I had a discussion of two sets of voices in our minds in conflict in our heads, trying to control and manipulate us. Max suggests not being able to accept us exactly as we are causes depression and anxiety; it's a terrible form of self-sabotage. Max was saying that as soon as we start to compare ourselves with others, depression and despair set in. The introduction of the internet has led to us competing with the world's population, and we can feel terribly less than. Max would live if each of us could stop using labels on ourselves and others. A label doesn't make us better than or less than; what matters is allowing us to be a normal, boring human being. Max expands on his personal work on the suggestion that our bodies keep us focused on the conscious mind, to keep us focused on what is on our mind. Unfortunately, that is part of the problem. If we can find a way to strive to be in the subconscious mind, we will handle life better. One of the benefits of meditation and dream prayer, we can cultivate confidence in our practice through visualization. We can create and cultivate the  psychosomatic state  simply by thinking deeply about it. We are great at focusing on depression, anxiety, and worry; we are experts at this . Wouldn't it make sense to decide that for the next 15 minutes, worry about being successful, wealthy, and in love? #maxweigand https://www.linkedin.com/in/max-weigand/
