I should’ve been a boy. I’m not as smart as my sister.’ Many times we don’t even know where this belief comes from. Yet, they guide us in our daily behaviors and actions. They sit in our subconscious. But if we could dispel of these beliefs from our very root, then we could behave and act differently. We could be free of these beliefs. This session helps explains how we form our beliefs and what we can do to dispel the ones that don’t empower us.--Session 2: \tRules of the Mind 1\t-Our Mind is like a separate entity. It functions on its own. It keeps on saying things to itself. Unfortunately, most of the time, it may choose to say things that don’t help us. Interestingly, that’s the one thing that we can control and stop. We can stop the things we don’t want to say, and purposely guide ourselves to the things we want to say. By understanding The Rules of the Mind, we can take purposeful responsibility in changing our thoughts.--Session 3: \tRules of the Mind 2\t-As we change our thoughts, we can change our feelings, our behavior and our actions. As we understand how these are intertwined, we can make decisions and guide ourselves to the thoughts that work for us. And the thoughts that keep on disturbing us, we can try to understand what is the belief we’ve formed behind these thoughts.--Session 4: \tOur Emotions: What to do with them?\t-We’ve been told, don’t get emotional. But what to do with them? We do have emotions. They’re very real and they’re trying to tell us something. Instead of pushing them away, we can understand what they are trying to tell us, how to feel them and how to manage them.--Session 5: \tProcrastination: What does it really mean?\t-Procrastination isn’t laziness. We want to do something, and when we’re just about to start, we start doing something else. We avoid the project we’re trying to do. Why? Understanding what our procrastination is really trying to tell us, we can deal with it and use it to help us move forward.--Session 6: \tRelationships: The Mental Dance we do\t-Any close relationship - parent-child, spouse-spouse, brother-sister, friend-friend, eventually gets stuck on a few issues. Each person eventually figures out what triggers the other. We say the same things again and again, and never resolve the issue. We do a dance with the same mental moves. How do we break this dance and resolve this mental act-react cycle?--Note:\tThe idea of this series is not just to learn but to experience. Each class is set with an introduction of the concepts, then applying them with exercises with a fellow student partner. The learning becomes experiential. Everyone’s lives are busy. The idea is to have the initial experience during class and then understand how to look at our own Mind. \t</div></dd>-<dt name=\"checkbox-group-1756922140917-0\">Which groups does your idea focus on?
