Aaron Civitarese, Influencing People Through Podcast
The consumer society brought people a lot of benefits and progress in general, but also accelerated certain forms of dissatisfaction. We are used to looking for happiness in the possession of things; but the more we strive for it, the more it avoids us.
The result of the activity of our mind is not only endless chatter in the head, but also the ego it has created, a protective shield of critical judgments, definitions and labels. It forms a false image of our ego and hinders us from building a true relationship with our true self. Fortunately, the mind is not omnipotent and this painful cycle can be eliminated for good.
"Everything outside of you can only bring temporary and superficial satisfaction," says Aaron. "But before you realize this truth, you will have to go through a lot of disappointments."
Aaron
Civitarese
lived
through
a
few
tough
years
after
his
world
crumbled
in
South
East
Asia.
"Yeah
they
closed
the
island,
we
had
60
days
to
figure
out
a
plan,
instead
we
all
just
got
depressed."
He
said.
But
all
this
did
not
discourage
him
from
moving
forward.
Quite
on
the
contrary,
he
worked
his
way
towards
success,
staying
grateful
all
the
way
along.
What
followed
was
a
massive
shift
in
his
self-awareness-a
shift
in
his
mindset!
He
realized
that
the
problems
were
not
really
in
the
obstacles
he
had
to
face,
but
in
his
own
mind-
in
the
way
he
suppressed
his
potential
by
allowing
his
mind
to
concentrate
on
negative
aspects.
Following the realization, Aaron found himself in an extraordinary state of inner tranquility. He was amazed at how everything around seemed balanced and beautiful. He began to live in the present moment. He realized that there is harmony in any situation, and happiness, when the soul is easy, warm and joyful, does not depend on external circumstances.
Today, Asron Civitarese is head of sales at BJKU an 8-figure ecommerce consulting business and podcast host. You can only succeed in so many different spheres only if you can lead by example. So Aaron is here with us to share his best insights.
Be Here And Now
"We are usually unable to work towards a target or push past our limits because we worry about the past or future, which brings forth many fears and painful memories that upset us and somehow limit our potential. If you shift your focus from the past or future to the present and work on your To-do list mindfully, you will be able to put in your best effort, which will undoubtedly help you achieve your targets. Be grateful for the past, satisfied with the present and excited about the future, this is the secret.", says Aaron.
Introspection is Key
Observation,
analysis,
experimentation,
and
control
are
purposeful
traits
that
never
fail
to
yield
results.
"To
develop
positive
self-talk,
first,
you
need
to
become
aware
of
the
thoughts
you
have
as
well
as
how
you
talk
to
yourself.
One
of
my
first
Mindset
Mentors
Darren
Little
calls
this
becoming
"The
Observer
''.
When
you
are
conscious
of
how
you
speak
to
yourself,
only
then
can
you
embark
on
the
process
of
consciously
replacing
those
thoughts
and
suggestions
with
better
ones.",
says
Aaron.
Stay
Positive
No
Matter
What
"The different negative thoughts pop up in your mind because of your inner critic, a demeaning inner voice you nurture when you always feed your conscious and subconscious mind negative ideas. Once you become more aware of your self-talk, acknowledge you have an inner critic that requires validation", says Aaron.
Positive thinking brings many benefits: it increases life expectancy, reduces stress, improves physical health, and improves the ability to cope with difficult situations.
