It's 'crazy' how the mind can continue to do all the things we do not want like, intrusive thoughts, fear, resentment, worry, anxiety, etc. Why does this happen? For some of us, we have become prisoners in our own minds, helplessly tied to uncomfortable memories, obsolete beliefs, and limiting thinking styles. Yet, the world of work and life the way we know it has changed. We need to 'reskill' and 'upskill' our mental competencies to thrive in the new normal.Skills like:ResilienceSelf-efficacySelf-regulationSelf-awarenessRelational agilitySelf-motivationTrustSelf esteemEfficiency at learningBeliefsFlexibilityOptimism/hopeMemoryEmpathyAssertivenessThese are all forms of 'capital' we all need to have for us to thrive in the new normal. This also has implications for the workplace, for families, for states and for nations. Mental Capital affects family life, state branding, workplace profitability, the development of tourism in states and countries, innovation and economic development for third world countries.On TRUTH SERUM, we look at the different ways the mind can work for us, with us or against us. We also get insights from guests on how Mental resources can be exploited to create wealth and achieve societal progress.Join me every Monday at 10 am in the sunny city of Lagos, Nigeria.
