Self-Creation + Self-Esteem + Self-Actualization = Self-Liberation!
In order to LIBERATE your positive thoughts about your SELF, you need to rate your basic goodness --- your worth or value --- very high. The way you measure your basic goodness is with your SELF-ESTEEM. Positive thoughts about yourself result in "high self-esteem" and negative thoughts about yourself result in "low self-esteem." Evaluating your own "self-esteem quotient" or measure of your perception of your intrinsic worth a learned skill which you can improve anytime you devote time and energy to the Self-Liberation Process. What you are liberating is yourself from your self-imposed negative feelings, which were saved in your brain's long-term memory resources and accumulated due to various traumas or abusive experiences you had in your past. If you have a low-rating of your basic goodness --- your perceived worth or value, then you will experience low self-esteem as a consequence of a predominantly negative thought process. The fundamental purpose of this website is to help you understand your genuine SELF and how to deal with CHANGE in your life as you grow in wisdom. To accomplish this objective, you will need to comprehend how your VALUES impact your SELF-ESTEEM and your approach to the inevitable CHANGES in your life. By taking the risk to learn new things about your SELF you will have the opportunity to feel sustained HAPPINESS in the controlled web environment of this specially constructed virtual learning experience! You can become more consciously engaged with expert ideas about Self-Leadership Concepts to the point of being able to choose your Mind-Maps to be your roadmap into the future! The Mind-Mapping process starts with your new understanding of how the key words in bold letters in the above paragraphs are vital parts of your personal approach to your "self-liberation quest." You can re-program your conscious awareness of your SELF by removing any self-imposed limitations which may cripple your imagination. These self-doubts are based on the negative thoughts, that were saved as negative feelings in your brain's long-term memory resources. You may have learned some of the negative thoughts from other people or you may have made judgments about your own worth or value in the past because of traumatic experiences that shaped your life up to this moment in time! Nevertheless, when you become aware that your self-consciousness can be changed by your self-awareness of scientific facts about how your brain works, you can begin the adventure of SELF-CREATION, which can make you more SELF-RELIANT, which in turn can make you more SELF-ACTUALIZED. This series of related ideas and self-conscious experiences are interactive in the sense that they reinforce each other when understood in their dynamic completeness --- and when they get stored in your long-term memory resources in a sensible coherent pattern. The Mind-Mapping Process is not psychobable since it relies on broadly accepted meanings of words in the English language and practical scientific methods of counseling, which is the most objective approach to understanding and accepting the true facts of your own life. If you will accept the Mind-Mapping Strategy of becoming engaged in a scientific process of self-discovery, you can choose to build many Mind-Maps to document your conscious thinking process about your worth or value as a significant person in a global social and economic network marked by diversity and complexity. Separating your wants from your wishes in order to satisfy your basic human needs is the shorthand way of looking at your existential decision to achieve meaning in your life. Finding out "what really matters" in your life is done by analyzing and appreciating your short-term goals and long-term objectives. Creating "Mind-Maps" to measure your progress is an effective and efficient way to use time, which is your most precious resource in addition to your healthy brain! As you learn to consciously choose the correct words to describe your thoughts and feelings about your "self" and your new awareness of the interactive process of SELF-CREATION, you will begin to understand how many of your feelings about your SELF have trapped you into being a follower of other people's "rules and regulations." Yor may have become a "slave" to other people's thoughts and feelings --- instead of your own! The purpose of the Mind-Mapping Process is help you "picture" or "measure" the pattern of your ideas in order to clarify them --- as one thought leads to another. Making a Mind-Map is creating an objective graphic portrait of your SELF. As you write down the key words or phrases that describe your SELF, your brain will be focused or engaged and this experience establishes a stronger connection in your long-term memory resources. Now CIRCLE the idea or TRACE an ellipse around it to establish that it is the main thought that you want to think about at the moment. The circled word is the primary subject of your Mind-Map. As you think new thoughts about your main idea or subject, you can create branches of related words that radiate out from this central point around the circumference of the circle or ellipse. Each new idea can become a branch on a straight line radiating away from your main idea. You can create side-issue "branches" of ideas by connecting sideway lines from the main branches to depict the side-issues you are aware of at the time. The different branches, which radiate out from your main idea, connect the main idea with all related ideas that are in your stream of consciousness or pattern of thoughts. At this point, you can begin to prioritize --- or evaluate whether your related ideas are genuine "wants," which you are willing to commit to accomplishing, or merely "wishes," that you are simply content to imagine but which are too weak at the moment to keep thinking about. You can label the Mind-Map diagram so it will help you achieve your short-term or long-term goals. If a thought comes into your consciousness that takes your attention away from the main idea or subject you have put in the middle of the paper, then you either write the new idea on a new blank piece of paper or you can cross out the old word or phrase in the circle or ellipse and write the new word or phrase that symbolizes your new stronger idea. You can use straight or curved "vector arrows" to connect your related ideas and side-issue ideas in different ways to show the important relationships among the words (ideas) you are aware of at the moment. Also, you can use colors to underline strong related-ideas or connections between the related ideas and colored drawings or pictures to illustrate the major points and relationships that you want to remember. This action will make certain that your Mind-Map represents what has really happened in your thinking process about your major idea. And it also makes your main idea easier to recall later --- when you need the information that you have just created. By selecting a powerful main idea and writing down your strongest related ideas and underlining them on lines radiating outward from your main idea, you are "drawing" your idea and its consequences. This creative process permits both sides of your brain --- the "left side," which is the analytical part, and "right side," which is the conceptual part, to work together to accomplish your goals most effectively and efficiently. MIND-MAPPING SKILLS --- Re-programming your brain to use your TIME better! 1. You can create your own "Mind-Maps" about any idea or subject you choose. 2. Simply put the idea (subject or theme) of your thinking in the center of a blank piece of paper and draw a circle or ellipse around it. 3. As ideas come into your mind, write words on "branches" (lines) that radiate outward away from your main idea. 4. Vary the size of the words or use colors to underline related ideas or create drawings to illustrate them and reinforce the strongest connections. This will help your brain's memory resources move the ideas from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. 5. You can link related side-issue ideas with vector arrows, which can be straight or curved, and then edit or correct this documented thinking process as you actually "look" with your eyes at the big complete picture or total graphic representation of the pattern of your thinking about the main idea that has been at the center of your attention. This idea and all of its connected related ideas are now documented in your Mind-Map or objectified which reinforces the idea in the memory resources in several parts of your brain. 6. Thus Mind-Mapping is a miraculous thinking process that gives you the ability or power to make better choices --- thereby increasing your self-esteem and self-empowerment. This thinking process creates your values or "identity" and ultimately your personality or "lifestyle" which helps you understand your SELF better!
