Humans have been programmed to think from the mindset of scarcity (example: fighting over things that are in abundance)
Changing the mindset from scarcity to abundance enables the person to realize nothing but the potential they have rather than things that can’t be done
Every single thing that we think is scarce can be created in abundance
You have to have a mindset that says nothing is impossible

Remain defiant: Trusting her version of reality and not allowing it to be altered on demand
Recognize there will never be accountability: Asserting herself was not just useful but it was harmful because the person gaslighting you will not be able to respond to reason or logic
To be original you don’t have to be first, you just have to be different and better
In Adam’s research he discovered there are two kinds of doubt there’s self doubt (that can be paralyzing leading someone to freeze) and idea doubt (that can be energizing and motivating you to test, to experiment and to refine)

Well being sciences study why happy people are happy, why healthy people are healthy and why successful people are successful
We don’t all define happiness the same way
A meta-analysis (like an analysis of many studies) was conducted so we looking at 225 studies on happiness and what was found was that happy people are more productive and work and more creative, make more money and have superior jobs, are better leaders and negotiators, have stronger immune systems, are physically healthier, live longer, show more resilience to stress and trauma

Intuition is knowing something without knowing why it is getting it’s the journey from A to Z without stopping to all the letters on the way it’s coming to a conclusion quickly without necessarily taking the time at that moment to assess why you came to that conclusion and you can think of it as like seeing the image before all the pieces of the puzzle are in place you figure out what it is
like every creature in nature we are designed to protect ourselves from danger and intuition is the primary resource that we use for protecting ourselves from danger and most people don’t make that connection between intuition and safety
The resource that we use most frequently in Western life in Western cultures is logic
The reality is that logic is plotting and unoriginal and far too slow to be useful in an emergency because it’s slow to accept reality and it’s burdened by judgment and logic spends valuable time thinking about the way things ought to be or used to be or could be or might be and in nature an animal doesn’t spend any time doing any of that an animal threatened by another animal does not use logic it uses intuition entirely it responds either by intuition or by instinct, the difference is that instinct is inbred it is inherent in the animal
Gavin indicates In the context of animals you cannot imagine an antelope in Africa that sees the lion or hears the breaking twigs in the brush in the night and turns with fear and then says oh it’s probably nothing but human beings do that every day right we undermine our own intuitive signals and and yet we do know that there is a universal code of violence that we understand meaning we know when someone is likely to be a predator we’ve exchanged a whole series of signals with that person that’s been refined over millions of years messages messages flying back between you and that person that tell you that they’re not dangerous to you right now and those messages when they fly back and forth between you and another person, and say wait a minute this is a problem, in the context you’re in a vulnerable situation and you feel that fear response those messages are absolutely brilliant
Shauna could see and understand in her process was these thoughts that were ravishing her head and her body, these thoughts that were dark and depressive and whispered of no future, these thoughts were coming from this emotional wound or core wound in her body, it wasn’t the other way around it wasn’t that Shauna was having these thoughts and having these feelings
It was the other way around it was that her feelings of the core wound(s) in her body were screaming, shouting and begging for her to have a look and the thoughts and the story and the detail that it was bringing out was only a reflection of what she felt, and what was important to notice that was that Shauna could see that it was coming from her wound (emotional) not the other way around and Shauna could also see that because she tried to change every thought or negative though by putting a new spin on it and hoping it would go away however Shauna experienced it would just come back in a different form
This emotional pain Shauna had in her body had a home, it had a shape, it had a colour
By definition post-traumatic stress is an anxiety disorder that develops in reaction to a physical injury or a severe mental or emotional distress
All you have to do is look on your cell phone open up a paper, turn on the news and there’s millions of different types of ways post-traumatic stress can be evoked but there’s a fairly new one and it’s happening to our young people it’s called cyber bullying and cyber bullying for a young mind puts them into that mental and emotional distress
Post-traumatic stress by a neurological standpoint is not a disorder it’s a reordering of your neural networks and pathways and your sensory pathways so that you can survive in a really dangerous situation
