Immunity part 6 mental immunity listening to the daily news is an attack on your mental immune system news is generally very negative and heavy to the soul especially when you care and have a warm heart for society and the world really it gets to you negativism is like an infection of the body and it starts with the vulnerability of your mind like with an open wound of all the information it's like a patagon like an infection that is entering the mind and it infects you like a virus most news or observations or information enters the subconscious mind first and slowly affects the conscious mind and thoughts it's a slow process most people have a period in their life that things are not going well physically and mentally our physical part is taken care of by our natural physical immunity and is not in our conscious control we talked about that before in the former podcast we can only influence it in the ways i explained to you already in those podcasts as a matter of prevention for our physical diseases we start at a young age with vaccinations these are effective powers against different diseases that can threaten our lives but there are no such things for mental problems our mental vaccinations are built by the growing up the support of our family and our friends when we grow up in a loving family with enough stability and tension it is possible to grow up as a mental stable personality it all depends on your basic genetics mental immunity is growing by experience we have to live through series of events to learn how to respond a childhood we are confronted with different other children who all have their own personal way of behavior toward us these little personalities are in the making and show a thrill pattern with a minute to minute changing behavior when the child is confronted during playing with this behavior the reaction comes from the temperament the elements of the temperament are the building blocks of our character and conceived during labor and developed after birth unlike the character as a total framework these temperaments are not possible to adjust or change knowing your temperament is very important when we wish to control our behavior and abilities to adapt to situations when we are building our physical immunity we have to find the abilities of our body to improve them building a stronger immunity of the mind is learning the weaknesses of the mind and build defenses around them our main weakness and that accounts for every living person is our fear fear is an obstruction and an important tool in life we cannot live without fear otherwise we will be defenseless fear is not only an emotional part of our life but a strong protection mechanism that nature did build in ourselves as a survival tool it is not the bravest person who did survive and made us the human race the people who used fear in the benefit of survival were those who decided to act upon their fears this made fear a tool for us fear comes in many ways let me give some examples so you understand it more dislike is also a kind of form of fear i choose this because it is not very clear for many people that it is a kind of fear you do not like a person thing or situation as you fear it will harm you dislike can be considered a form of defense which is needed to act upon we dislike a person because we fear the harm that that person can bring to us our nature tell us to avoid that person in many societies we speak of poisonous persons people who infect you with thoughts behavior and actions but some people are attracted to these kind of personalities and get manipulated harmed or even killed by them these victims have a low mental immunity for these infectious people our mental immunity is built on several pillars these pillars are temperament and the events during our lifetime starting already at birth or just before and the environment such as parents family and friends or so the opportunities in life brought by birth changes of improvement then your mental power and at the last point your mental flexibility unlike our physical body our mind does not have a special protective built-in defense mechanism against infectious or poisonous intruders this part of the immune system we should create ourselves our fears are the first part to look at we should improve some fears while others must be solved or suppressed the first and most important fear are those involving our social interactions we start questioning why and how we like or dislike people at first glance and how important it was in the past did this system cause you trouble or was it useful in a social engaged profession you meet a lot of people and if you have a constant light dislike judgment this will be complicating your work a lot at such professions you should professionally postpone the judgment of the like dislike until after meeting somebody different times meaning your first impression is not allowed to be your final judgment but our first impression is the immediate response of your mental immune system and always should be taken in consideration when we compare this to our physical immune system every intruder or strange object will directly lead to a response by isolation of the object until proven harmless or subsequently extermination of the object let me look at what can be dangerous to our mental immunity the first one is people we meet second events we encounter the third experience that overcome us in current society all these three elements are encountered on a daily basis and sometimes even every hour the mind must be extremely fast acting if we let all these elements have an influence on our mind this must be avoided here i use a strong must instead of more sympathetic we could avoid it the reason is that we need to protect our mind by restricting impressions experiences and even persons to our life we have to build distance or so-called no man's land between your observation the impression the interpretation the decision making and the following action even a second or a minute enable us to a fortune in time as our brains works in a huge speed one of the strongest weapon in this case is the smile of silence that mysterious kind of smile on your face while the brain is working in overdrive but you don't say anything you look lovely in silence but that brain is working working working working your immunity is based on the time and effective decision making in nearly every situation and most people use emotions feelings and engagement every time they judge decide and act which is exhausting to our immune defense system finally the system will give up and you get infected with poisonous thoughts which creates a negative effect in your mind the problem of negative thoughts is that they affect your hormone system your sleep your mood and finally your health if the mental immunity is corrupted it is really not easy to get it back but it is possible to build it and even make it stronger than ever before remember all the supportive systems mentioned in my other podcast when you start building and improving each of them all have a direct effect on your mental immunity each system support each other and like chain the stronger you make each of the switches the whole chain becomes unbreakable mental immunity is based on all five supporting agents which you can influence and reinforce building a good life is in your hands when you use the hand keys of improvement and happiness if you have any questions comments remarks or
