Often, people feel trapped or held back by the stories they tell themselves. They may not realize that these false narratives undermine their paths to future success.

In fact, we all hang onto false narratives at some point in our lives.

I was bullied by classmates every day in the fifth and sixth grades. The bullying affected my sense of self-worth. Fifteen years later, this false narrative still played out in my adult life. I struggled with relationships, failing to share openly with others, creating rifts that grew over time until the relationships ended.

Then, I realized that the false narrative grew out of an inner feeling of weakness and an overwhelming sense of life’s unfairness. I chose to hide my vulnerable side, and the resulting breakups confirmed that life was, indeed, not fair. Although I recognized my behaviour as a reoccurring pattern, I lacked the tools required to make positive changes in my day-to-day existence.

Then I discovered the Neuro-Activ methodology. It helped me to learn to approach life with a positive mindset – one that nurtures my emotional intelligence. With time and effort, I was able to achieve a new feeling of balance and happiness that I now enjoy every single day.

However, it does require significant effort to succeed. Over eons, human beings have let fear and uncertainty corrupt their mindfulness, resulting in an overabundance of self-loathing and self-sabotage that’s difficult, but not impossible, to mend. In fact, most people struggle with maintaining a healthy, balanced perspective that enables them to achieve their goals, including a sense of happiness and satisfaction. Their inner saboteurs destabilize their emotional states, throwing their mental balance out of whack.
