Waiting For A Hard Time To Pass Leaves The Rock-Bottom Mindset In Charge

When Getting Through The Day Is All There’s Room For

Hard times rarely arrive politely. It might be money, a relationship that ends, a job that goes, a health scare or the loss of someone close, and very often two of them land at once.

Most people do the sensible thing and hold it together. They keep going to work and keep answering “I’m fine”, telling themselves this will pass if they can just hang on. Friends say the same thing kindly: give it time.

Weeks go by, and the news gets a little better or stays the same, but the heaviness doesn’t lift with it. The future still feels flat, and the person starts to wonder why they can’t bounce back the way they used to.

(If your hard time has already passed on paper, the same pattern can sit behind a hope that hasn’t come back, or habits that set in while things were bad and never left.)

“Not surprisingly, I felt hopeless about the state of my life. As far as I was concerned, it was next to impossible to get out of the rut I was in.”

Steve felt that way while he was $80,000 in debt and had been evicted from his apartment. What turned it around is further down this page, and it began while his circumstances were still at their worst.

Waiting on its own rarely lifts it, and the reason has to do with what runs underneath. In a lot of ways, your mindset works like an operating system inside a computer. It quietly runs a lot of mental processes in the background, even though you’re not consciously aware of them, and it heavily influences the direction of your life.

A hard time writes its own programs into that operating system, such as expecting the worst or sensing that nothing good is coming. Holding it together is a conscious effort, and it gets you through each day while those background programs keep running. When the circumstances finally ease, the programs are still there, which is why the mood so often lags behind the news.

That’s what makes waiting so convincing. It feels patient and mature, and everyone around you recommends it, so it’s hard to see that the mind is setting the direction the whole time you wait.

So feeling stuck after a blow says nothing about anyone’s strength. The rock-bottom mindset is an old program still running in the background, and installing new and healthier thought patterns in its place is the job this track was designed for.

From $80,000 In Debt And Living Out Of His Office To Self-Made Multimillionaire

Steve lost his mother at an early age and grew up with his father, who battled alcohol abuse.

Later in life he went through a lot of career detours and failed business ventures, and he soon found himself $80,000 in credit card debt. Financial institutions and collection agencies were beating down on his door. He held on as long as he could, until he was evicted from his own place and had to live out of his office, which he was about to lose as well.

Think about what getting up for work looks like when the office is also where you live, and you know it’s about to go too. That was where things turned for Steve. He discovered a way to reprogram his mind to attract everything he needed, and to put systems in place that got his life back on track.

He used a combination of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques and a specific framework for happiness and success, and from it he developed the Dream Life Mastery program for getting the results he wanted.

Today he’s a licensed Clinical Hypnotherapist and a self-made multimillionaire who manages 22 training certification programs in hypnosis and NLP.

Steve’s life turned around after he reprogrammed his mind, at a time when the eviction and the debt were still very real. Rise Above is built on that same order of things.

Kind Advice Reaches The Conscious Mind, And The Background Programs Keep Running

People going through a hard time usually hear plenty of good advice about looking after themselves and being patient. All of it is well meant, and much of it helps.

Advice is taken in by the conscious mind, which agrees with it and tries to act on it. The operating system underneath carries on running the patterns the hard time installed, so the advice has to work against them every single day.

Rise Above goes to the background programs directly, so the good advice you already have lands in a mind that’s ready to use it.

How Many Evenings A Year Does A Hard Time Borrow?

This only counts the time that goes on dwelling, replaying and just getting through, so leave everything else about your week as it is.

Time is only part of it. While the rock-bottom mindset is running, it’s tough to feel excited about the future, and that colors the hours that are left as well.

Change the numbers until they match your week. The tally keeps growing for as long as the old programs keep running.
