Hi! Welcome to day 4 of the 7-day Mental Diet Challenge. I'm your K. Guru Michael Brewer here on the South Shore of the beautiful island of Kauai in Hawaii. How you doing? I'm doing just fine. Hope you're doing well too. Here on Kauai, of course it's kind of easy to stay positive. But even here I'm feeling challenged, especially today. So I want to go into that challenge with you a little bit. And that is what do you do when you're feeling positive, but you're affected by the people around you, especially your partner or your wife or your husband or your family or your co-workers or your friends. If you're the only one that's on the mental diet or even in my case, I'm lucky my partner, Rainbow, is doing it with me. But still, you know, everyone's got their boots and everyone, you know, you can identify so closely with people. And then you notice that their boot isn't quite the same as yours or you tend to go along and say a negative thing. Like yesterday, we sat at a restaurant. Here we are beautiful Kauai. A nice, old lady, mate waitress came and said, oh, it's beautiful. She said, oh, no, it's terrible. She went on to tell us all these horrible stories about Hawaii and Kauai, the big hurricane and how the island has just gone downhill and it's not the same. Boy, if we'd gone along, if we'd let ourselves go along with that negativity, we would've ruined our own holiday. And so if a school is greater, can have that effect on our food and our vibration, just imagine the power and tug that your partner has or your wife or your best friend or someone you really like. I don't think we even notice it up here with someone and they suddenly say something negative about what you're doing or what's happening. You almost automatically go along with it because you want to be friends and you want to be close to them. So that's a bit of a challenge here, especially if you do it on the 7th day mental diet. You know, you've even noticed it today with my partner, Rainbow, one of us got a little bit maybe irritated or something for a few seconds. And the other one kind of reacted to it. So how do you protect yourself with an invisible veil from the vibrations and the energy of those around you? You really almost have to do that. You have to say, look, I'm responsible for my own vibration, my own positivity or negativity and no matter who, not if it's my wife or my husband or my boyfriend or my girlfriend or my lover or anyone, they cannot affect your vibration. You have to decide that to do that for yourself. Decide to stay positive, no matter what. And it's not easy, believe me, I noticed it today. You really can set each other's own, especially if you love to watch it because they know all the buttons to push. You know, exactly what they're up to. And I think sometimes when people maybe aren't doing this after the event of diet or aren't aware of these things, see you trying to be positive, unconsciously or even consciously, they try to push those buttons even more. So you have to be vigilant, really vigilant. So that was the lesson for today is how to deal with the vibrations of those around you, not the serious strangers, but them too, and especially those who you're close to. And for a little inspiration, let me read a little bit more from Evan Foxx, what he has to say, you must trait yourself to choose the subject that you're thinking of. And you can find it also to choose the emotional tone of what we call the mood that colors it. Yes, you can choose your moods. Indeed, if you could not, you would have no real control over your life at all. Moves, eventually entertained, reduced the characteristic disposition of the person concerned. And it is his disposition that finally makes or bars a person's happiness. Well, that was kind of 1935 talk. In today's language, it would say that it starts with control of your moods. We all, I mean, how many times have we all said, oh, I can't help it on just in a bad mood or on just in that unhappy mood or on just in a mood? Well, is it a mood, just a thought, you choose to think and to rethink and to keep thinking? Don't be happy to hold on more moods. Are we really helpless to the moods we have or can we decide to change the mood we have? Can we decide to just start thinking other thoughts or to distract ourselves or to do something, anything to get out of that mood? Well, according to Evan Foxx and Tony Roberts and others who have done this before, yes, we can change our mood and there are tools to do that, mold pivoting or using your body, do something to get yourself out of anything, distract yourself. And it's important you do so because of mood if you keep staying in it, will determine your disposition to become individual. This position will eventually attract you things unwanted. If you're a professional in a bad mood, well, it just follows you like a dorm storm cloud and you attract more things to you to attract even more stuff to prove that you should be in a bad mood. So it's kind of a never ending chain of pain, a circle of never ending sorrow and despair. So it's really, really important that we truly control our mood and not let the people around us control the for us. You cannot be healthy, you cannot be happy, you cannot be prosperous if you have a bad disposition. If you are salty or surly or cynical or depressed or superior or front half out of your wit, your life cannot be possibly worth living. Well, that's pretty strong, but I guess it's going to make a point. Unless you are determined to cultivate a good disposition, you may as well give up all hope of getting anything worthwhile out of life. And it is kinder to tell you very plainly that this is the case. I know that's really strong, but he means well. If you are not determined to start it now, and carefully select all day, the kind of thoughts you are going to think, you might as well give up all hope of shaping your life into the kind of thing you want it to be. This is the only way. So it starts one thought at a time. It starts one pivot at a time. As soon as you have to feel that negative thought, you've got to decide to think something else and not stick with it. This is not to say you can't have negative thoughts because you can't avoid it in this world. This day and age, you're going to come along and reach it with great interest. The point is not to let them stay. The point is not to move on to the more than 30 seconds. It only takes about 30 seconds to hold on to the thought before it starts manifesting in your life. So that's our powerful, powerful things. So, I guess that's about enough for today. I hope you're doing well, and I hope you'll write to me or send me videos and let me know how you're doing. And if you haven't started to invent it on 17th-century childhood, watch the videos here on YouTube that I've placed and start over. And let me know what your experiences are. Make your own videos. This is, I'm not going to be all in one of those. This process, this is sending anybody can do this. And everybody should do this. So, signing off from the beautiful island Kwa'i. Hello, Ha!
