Has it been pointed out to you that you apologize too much? Do you feel that asking for what you need or want is an imposition on others? Do you feel that you need to justify your existence?

It’s possible for some people to get to the point where they feel they need to apologize just for being alive. And that’s a sad state of affairs. In this powerful episode, Ted discusses how to cultivate the most powerful belief: I Belong Here. It’s good that I’m alive. It’s ok that I’m not perfect. It’s ok that I make mistakes.

There is mass hypnosis happening now due to the widespread consumption of social media, the prevalence of social media addiction, and the blurring of lines between social media and news information. The concept of social media hypnosis refers to the trance-like state induced by social media platforms. Just like traditional print and television advertising, this state can be used to bypass conscious thought for marketing, influence and for manipulation. This can often lead to negative outcomes like addiction, anxiety, and depression by engaging the subconscious mind and its negative patterns of worry, fear, anger and even rage. In this episode, Ted discusses how social media and the inclination of the majority of people in the US to get news from social media is creating mass hypnosis resulting in further division and mental health risks on a nationwide scale. This is an episode you do not want to miss. TedinYourHead.com
