How Advanced Thinking Helps You Finally Break Old Patterns

 

How Advanced Thinking Can Set You ( And

Others) Free From Old Patterns

When you feel called to more than “just fixing yourself”

Many people get into personal development because they’re tired of repeating the same patterns in their life. You might want more freedom, better relationships, more purpose or a different career, but you keep finding yourself held back by old beliefs and habits.

At some point, something deeper happens: you not only want to change your own life, you start to feel a pull to help other people break free as well. That’s where advanced thinking and life‑optimization coaching can come together in a powerful way.

What real freedom means in your everyday life

When we talk about freedom, most people think of money, time, or being able to work from anywhere. Those are great, but real freedom begins inside – in how you think, how you see yourself, and how you respond to life.

Freedom shows up when you can choose your response instead of reacting on autopilot, when you stop replaying the same negative stories about yourself, and when you feel calm and clear enough to move toward the life you actually want. When you learn to create this inner freedom, you not only change your own life – you also become someone who can guide others toward that same transformation.

Why traditional mindset advice doesn’t create lasting change

You’ve probably heard a lot of familiar phrases: “think positive”, “believe in yourself”, “change your thoughts, change your life”. The problem is that most of this advice never shows you how to change the deeper structure of your thinking.

You feel inspired for a while, then you slip back into old habits. Your results look the same, your confidence goes up and down, and you start wondering what you’re missing. What’s missing is usually a practical, step‑by‑step way to work with beliefs, emotions and behaviour – for yourself and, if you choose, for the people you coach.

What is “advanced thinking” and why it matters for you and the people you help

Advanced thinking is about understanding how your mind creates your experience and deliberately upgrading the way you think, feel and act. Instead of being run by old programming, you learn how to notice your thoughts, question them and choose more empowering interpretations.

When you build these skills, you don’t just become more confident and focused in your own life. You also have a solid foundation to coach others. You can listen deeply, see where someone is stuck, and help them put new perspectives, beliefs and actions in place so they can move forward in the key areas of life: health, money, relationships, career, personal growth and more.

 Key mindset shifts that life‑optimization coaches work with

Here are some of the mindset shifts you learn to make for yourself – and eventually help others make – when you combine advanced thinking with life‑optimization coaching:

• From self‑criticism to self‑awareness
  Instead of beating yourself up for every mistake, you learn to observe thoughts and behaviours with curiosity, which opens the door to real change.

• From unconscious beliefs to conscious choice
  You start to see beliefs like “I always mess things up” or “I’m not that kind of person” for what they are: stories that can be rewritten. As a coach, you can help clients do the same.

• From reacting emotionally to responding intentionally
  You develop tools to pause, breathe and choose your response, even in difficult situations. This is one of the most valuable skills you can pass on to others.

• From drifting through life to designing a clear vision
  Instead of waiting for life to “sort itself out”, you learn how to create a life optimization plan, clarify values and set aligned goals – and support clients to design their own dream lives too.

How this training can fit into your life (for personal change and coaching)

Many people are drawn to this kind of training for two different reasons. First, it can fit into your existing life as a powerful way to change habits that feel stuck on repeat, so you can finally shift the patterns that keep holding you back and start living with more clarity, confidence and freedom. Second, if you’ve ever thought that you’d like to get into coaching, this is a perfect starting point: it gives you a clear pathway into coaching, teaches you proven life‑optimization tools and principles, and you don’t need a degree to begin. Many people use what they learn to help family, friends and clients create real change, while also building a meaningful income doing what they love – helping others grow.

Your call to action: for people who feel 'called' to coach

You might be reading this and thinking, “I don’t just want this for myself – I’d love to help other people create this kind of freedom too.” If you’ve ever imagined yourself as a coach, guide or mentor, life‑optimization coaching is a powerful way to turn your passion for personal growth into meaningful work.

There is a complete Life‑Optimization Coach certification program that teaches you these principles in depth and shows you how to coach others to improve their health, finances, relationships, personal and spiritual development, and more. You can learn more about the Certified Life‑Optimization Coach Program here and see how you could use these tools to change your own life and help others at the same time.

How this kind of work changes your real‑world results(and your income)

When you practise advanced thinking in your own life, you start to notice changes: you feel more confident, more emotionally steady and more purposeful. You become better at communicating, handling challenges and staying focused on what matters most.

As you add coaching skills on top of that, you open up new possibilities: you can work from home, set your own hours, support people all over the world and earn an income by helping others transform their lives. Many people find that coaching becomes some of the most fulfilling work they’ve ever done, because they get to watch their clients grow in confidence, clarity and joy.

Is the life‑optimization coaching path right for you?

Life‑optimization coaching tends to be a great fit if:

• You care deeply about personal development and mindset.

• People naturally come to you for advice, support or a listening ear.

• You’d love to make a difference and also create more freedom in your own lifestyle and income.

It may not be right for you if you want a “magic button” with no effort, or if you’re not willing to do your own inner work. Great coaches lead by example: they live the principles they teach, and they’re committed to their own growth as much as their clients’.

You CAN Control the Outcome in Your Life!

Harmony in the world within. That's the goal. The key. When you have that, you have the ability to control your thoughts and...

... to determine for yourself how any experience is going to affect you.

Think about it!

You are related to the world without by nothing other than the Objective Mind. And your brain is the physical organ of this mind. Likewise, you are related to the world within by the Subconscious Mind. The solar plexus is the organ of this mind. This system of nerves presides over all subjective sensations, such as joy...

... fear...

... love...

... anger...

and imagination.

The Universal Mind is the consciousness pervading the entire universe...

... occupying all space and...

... being the same in kind in every point of existence.

It is all powerful...

... all wisdom...

... and always present.

It is all in all. You might know all of that. And it goes even further. You are connected to Universal Mind through the Subconscious Mind. In this way you are brought into relation with the infinite constructive forces of the Universe.

Read that again.

The.

Infinite.

Constructive.

Forces.

Of.

The.

Universe.

Your consciousness is part of Universal Consciousness like a drop of water is part of the ocean. While it is like in kind, it is not "the ocean." But that's okay because the consciousness that focuses in your brain cells is the same consciousness that focuses in the brain cells of everyone else. And that's huge because each one of us -- you, me, your neighbor down the street, Elon Musk -- is but an individualization of the Universal.

The world within is the cause. The world without is the effect. Thus, to change the effect you must...

... change the cause.

Most people attempt to change effects by working with effects. They keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. And the effects keep producing more of the same effects.

So what are you to do?

Simple. Change the cause! Work on your world within. Attain harmony in your world within. When you understand this, you will have the power to control the effects in your life. You will begin to substitute abundance for poverty...

... health for sickness...

... wisdom for ignorance...

... harmony for discord, and...

... freedom for tyranny.

You will create the outcomes in your life that you want and desire.

Cease being a plaything of destiny!

Declare your own path!

Clear your own way!

Think!

And you will win.

Tips for Thinking Clearly When Facing Difficult Challenges

I'm sure you've had times in your life when you wondered how you were going to get through.

But the fact is, if you are reading this article, you obviously got through whatever challenge was facing you. You may have judgement about how well you handled whatever it was you were stuck on, but you can't deny that you got through!

How did you do it?

How might you have done it better...or at least believe you did it better, so as to generate less judgment within yourself about how you did it?

Understanding how you perceive, process, and respond to crisis, or any challenging situation, is vital to moving forward and being able to handle these types of situations as well as you possibly can.

So, let's take a look.

One thing you may have observed about yourself in crisis is that it's often difficult to think clearly when you're highly challenged by how things are happening around you.

It'd difficult to think clearly when what is happening is different from What you expected or how you wanted things to go.

Perhaps you were busy saying to yourself, "This can't be happening!", or "Oh no, I can't possibly handle this!", or even, "I'm going to die!"

When your brain goes into denial mode, and then moves quickly into survival mode, it's difficult to get a clear picture of what's actually going on in the situation, or what to do about what's happening.

Albert Ellis, noted psychologist, speaker, and author refers to the phenomenon as "awful-izing." It's the Oh-my-god, Oh-my-god, Oh-my-god chatter that goes on in your brain when you're overwhelmed and feeling out of your league in finding a way out of whatever situation you're in.

But this type of thinking mentally gets in your way and interferes with clarity of focus, attention, and problem-solving capability. Once the primal, reptilian brain is activated, the decisions you make are geared toward keeping you safe.

Decisions made out of this mind-set are automatically generated to insure survival and do not involve much conscious thought. They are a knee-jerk reaction to a felt sense that you are in danger. And whether you are actually in danger or not, the behaviors that come from this process are an assumption that there is a real threat to your safety that must be handled...right now!

How can you get around this mechanism?

First, let me be clear that I am not suggesting you ignore truly dangerous situations. The primal reflexes are hard-wired into us for a reason.

There is nothing abnormal or pathological about an initial knee-jerk reaction to something. If there is a real threat to your safety, this mechanism allows you to react without having to think about it first.

That's really important if you might die in the next 5-10 seconds!

And there is no technique in the world that will override that initial survival mechanism. (Try not jerking your leg when the doctor hits the front of your knee with a mallet!)

But, you can refrain from hitting the doctor!

When the first 5-10 seconds have passed and you aren't dead or seriously injured, here are some tips for managing your primal brain and allowing yourself access to the rational, cognitive portion of the brain which is much better suited to assessing (after the immediate gut reaction) whether a challenging situation is truly dangerous to your actual survival and what is ultimately the wisest course of action.

In other words, it will help you assess whether there's a tiger in the room, or whether what you are seeing is merely the shadow of a couch?

First of all, take a deep breath...or two or three...

Breathing is good! It gives you a moment of waiting, as well as providing more oxygen to the brain to help with mental clarity.

Next, take a metaphorical, or actual, step away from the situation. Give yourself some room (and some time) to look at things in a broader scope, to see the whole picture rather than just the part that is scaring the dickens out of you.

Now, count to three, or four, or ten...whatever is required to stop your head from spinning, and to allow you to plant yourself firmly in time and space. Make sure you are sitting in the middle of the present moment in time.

Finally, ask yourself three questions:

1. What will most likely happen if I do nothing?
2. Is it just my feelings that are hurt? Is this perhaps an emotional affront to my sense of who I am and how I believe I deserve to be treated?
3. What other options might there be for handling the situation, rather than fight, flight, or freeze?

Bingo!

That's where using your interpersonal skills of communication, emotional intelligence, collaboration, compromise, working on win/win solutions, etc. come in!

Give it a try!

You'll be amazed how much your relationships will improve and how much closer you can feel to people in you life when you no longer act as if many of them are out to get you, and when your reactions are kept in check sufficiently so that you feel more in charge of how you respond to situations in your life!
