Paul talks with Zen Monk and author of ‘The Zen Life’ Alex Mill who has just released a new book ‘A Shift to Love’ Alex explains how Zen practice is compassionate self-mentoring with the process evolving and leading to an awareness that can shift everything. He discusses how our ability to experience ourselves as separate from the voices of egocentricity is the greatest opportunity both personally and for the survival of everything on the planet. It’s about the life we are choosing to be responsible for and the changes we want to make and this is a fascinating insight into the practice that can help you to put everything together and see more clearly. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a way to create your life differently in a calm and compassionate way. Approach the process with kindness and love It’s an ever-evolving process and practice that is very powerful Zen is all about the awareness because it’s this that can shift everything around The process of practice is putting it all together and seeing how it works and when you become masterful you are able to see everything The ability we have at the crossroads is being able to prioritise the steps We are responsible for our experience of life and our experience is neutral it’s the story we put around it that can be negative and debilitating The responsibility lies in doing something proactive to change things, it’s shifting from being debilitated to being empowered The conditioned mind operates in something wrong, not enough and often we are completely unaware of how we contribute to the world Our ability to experience ourselves as separate from the voices of egocentricity is the greatest opportunity both personally and for the survival of everything on the planet It’s not just the individual but the ripple effect with those around them There is a way to have it all, when you take action for yourself you become a role model for others Zen is a process of cleaning up karma both personally and universally, taking responsibility to leave something good for others BEST MOMENTS ‘Having all those opinions doesn’t stop a war or feed a child’ ‘You suffering over the suffering in the world helps nobody it just adds one more suffering person to the pile’ ‘We need to shift out of where we have been to what is the possibility of becoming’ ‘It is a parallel track for you and those around you’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Living the Zen Life A shift to Love - Alex Mill VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Coaching and Therapy The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube NUMIND WELLNESS OFFER - 20% DISCOUNT AVAILABLE WITH THIS CODE https://numindwellness.com/ use Code: PAUL20 ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard Paul is well known for his holistic therapy and coaching approach when working with anxiety, stress, confidence, and motivation, understanding, and treating the root causes and surrounding issues He has a passion for understanding how the mind works and has been trained in many therapies.

I got stuck in this victim mindset last year and didn't even know! During some coaching and psychoanalysis work Paul discovered that he was caught up in a hidden negative mindset trap of which he was previously unaware. In this episode he shares this with you so you can see if you recognise it within yourself and thus benefit from its circumvention. This is the Victim Mindset and he will show you how to become aware of it, the consequences of keeping it and what you can do to get yourself out of it. Welcome to one of the most powerful mindset shifting episodes Paul has ever presented. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Victim Mindset can be displayed very obviously but also act in stealth mode, hidden from clear view or even presented as positive and justified. The language you use can often be a pointer to this mindset. Cynical, negative, pessimistic, and self deprecating humour use is a big clue. This mindset draws you to conflict situations in which you can adopt the role of victim. You compare yourself to others unfavourably and from that conclusion become risk averse and brutally self critical. Consider where you have fixed mindsets. Which areas of your life do you limit yourself? You’re someone who keeps ignoring your emotional needs. If your waiting to be rescued you are in the role of victim. Do you enjoy sharing tragedy with other people? Are you a people pleaser that resents the fact it is not returned to you? Do you believe you are unlucky? Our relationships from childhood often inform the victim mindset but being aware of this and letting go of unnecessary burdens can circumvent this. Resisting the present moment and saying it should be different comes from the victim mindset. Remember, we can all be victims in extreme circumstances and that does require care and compassion. BEST MOMENTS ‘The victim mindset changes the way you view the world and it tends to create a little lens where you look at life from a ‘poor you’ perspective.’ ‘And then they made a decision. “I am not a joke”.’ ‘Remember, awareness is the key. So if you resonate with any of this, time to do something about it.’ ‘A fixed mindset is where you create rigid rules on how your mind works. Very limiting.’ ‘Failure is devastating to the victim mindset, a fixed mindset. It’s not seen as the learning curve that’s essential for growth.’ ‘I found out things about my father that I never knew, and whilst it doesn’t excuse his behaviour he let me into his world and I got to understand more about him than I’d ever done in the fifty years I’d spent on this planet.’ ‘Trauma also heals when we learn to change the narrative that can come from the experience that was traumatic.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Coaching and Therapy The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube https://numindwellness.com/ Contact Sam Higgins [email protected] NUMIND WELLNESS OFFER - 20% DISCOUNT AVAILABLE WITH THIS CODE https://numindwellness.com/ use Code: PAUL20 ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard Paul is well known for his holistic therapy and coaching approach when working with anxiety, stress, confidence, and motivation, understanding, and treating the root causes and surrounding issues He has a passion for understanding how the mind works and has been trained in many therapies.
