MIND MADE UP


                                           


-MIND MADE UP-



My book the Mind Messenger is full of data naturally and scientifically proving that the mind can heal our body and our daily lives. But we can all agree that data can be rather dry, and sometimes what resonates most deeply within our souls are stories. Stories about certain levels that people have achieved or gone through despite setbacks. So, please sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s have story time before you head into the weekend. My stories surround an array of care that helped me without medication. I read a book called (Marbles) by Ellen Forney. Forney was diagnosed with bipolar depression at the age of thirteen. Ellen talks about diagnoses of depression and what treatment with a psychiatrist looked like. She also tells the role of medication, and how things outside of traditional care look like. As I was studying psychology in college, I learned a bit about the cognitive behavioral therapy. I started to use some tools in my sports coaching career. It helped with certain students and myself. I knew essentially as a coach my purpose was to teach, preach and coach clients in new directions of coping with distressing feelings, intrusive thoughts, and challenging situations. Whenever I coach a client I try new skills or help them learn their talent, I link it to a story they're passionate about or something I’ve gone through that can relate. Relaxation training becomes Jedi training, cognitive coping skills like praying, meditation or motivational enhancement therapy.  

I’m going to tell you a few true stories that will demonstrate to you how powerfully the mind affects the art of living or your physiology. Understand that true validation is one of the main reasons why stories can be healing to the heart, mind, and soul. It is by introducing certain characters who are experiencing similar situations or circumstances. These stories can make us feel less alone and more welcome to be around others or easier to talk about what we're thinking or feeling inside. Keeping your mind on the things you want to attain in life is not hard, it just takes the time to condition yourself toward them and then start the momentum. Once you have the possession of your mind. You’ll be able to control it. Keep it on the positive things in life, rather than negative things in life “A picture is worth a thousand words” that's the truth. Especially when it comes to the mind and how it works. 


You, know many of people in life have built empires on the study of the mind. Some people have gone on to write great books that fill my library at home. Profoundly, these books and the struggle have assisted me in finding success. That’s right...thinking like success and feeling like success wasn’t hard, as I said, it just takes conditioning. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” even she knew that we had to truly think and believe. Don't cloud your mind with garbage. We have to keep that mind clean in order to vision the success we want. Of course, I know some people have a different definition of success. However, we all have a desire and that desire is embedded into our hearts as well as our mind. That becomes the driving force toward our success. Hack, your success might just be to overcome depression or some other condition. Whatever your definition of success might be, it is within the mind and heart which drives the force of choice that you attain it. 



Okay...okay, I told you a few things there and I truly hope there not to hard to understand. I’ll add the next tool that assisted me in finding out more of the mind and heart. I am talking about the gift! You're probably thinking...’whats coach talking about’... I’m talking about the gift within, your potential mind. Once you discover how to control it, you’ll find the mind is a gift. It should motivate you to pursue the greatest things within your heart but only for the goodness of yourself and others. I made up my mind to pursue great things in life despite my struggle and it has been my focus day by day. It might seem like unpleasant times but I promise you, that if you stay focused on the chance of demanding more of your mind each day, you’ll see significant change. Please, realize what is done is done. You can’t change the past but you can change the effects of what happens for the future, so, make each of the moment in life a masterpiece.



Best, 




Coach Frank Sagasta
