I'm sure very few people would categorize the movie Nightmare on Elm Street as inspiring or mind expanding. But there is a concept that I learned in that movie that helps me to "wake up" to my power when I need a reminder.
If you've seen it, maybe you'll remember this about the movie. Nancy is constantly trying to stay awake so she could avoid Freddy Krueger. She did everything she could but ultimately, she eventually dozed off to sleep against her will. She was powerless.
Nancy finally owns her power when in the midst of dreaming, she stops running away from Freddy and instead turns around sharply on her heels and reminds him "I created you. You are nothing without me." Freddy then begins to disintegrate right before her eyes. He falls into tiny monochrome bits at her feet and disappears.
The truth is, you can find inspiration everywhere, depending on your perception and your fears can disappear in the wink of an eye when you're ready to stand in your power and let them go. Posts Tagged ‘mind power’
Nightmare on Elm Street Reminds Me, “Fear is an Illusion”

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011
I'll be honest with you. I've never been big on trying to influence others. I used to think of it as being "manipulative". But I've also realized that it's very important to understand how influence works so I can be aware of the power of it and use it constructively. At the same time, understanding how influence works makes it easier for me to handle people who might be trying to influence me. Understanding how influence works gives me power to be galvanized.
Listen in as these guys talk about the techniques they use to influence people. It's kinda sneaky, but at the same time it just goes to show how gullible we can be sometimes. It's important to be aware of the power of our own minds.
Only to be used for good.

Don't stop for a second to think these guys are the only ones who know this stuff. Use this information to your advantage.

What It Feels Like For a Girl by Madonna
Thursday, May 27th, 2010
Madonna's spunk and tenacity are inspiring to me. This song is "to every girl who did it." If you're not following your passion, it's not too late. If you need support, get the free Create the Life You Want MP3 at icreatehabits.com.
Lyrics to What It Feels Like for a Girl by Madonna
Silky smooth
Lips as sweet as candy, baby
Tight blue jeans
Skin that shows in patches
Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak
Chorus
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl
Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently, baby
Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting
Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you're trying hard to be your best
Could you be a little less
Chorus x2
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl

An Open Letter to Stress Management Students
Friday, February 20th, 2009
An open letter to my students of HS45 - Stress Management for Case Managers,
How are you today?
Last night in Stress Management class we briefly talked about Locus of Control as it applies to being in prison. We didn't have much time to really get into it but if you're interested in exploring that more, I would recommend a book titled Man's Search for Meaning by Vicktor Frankl.
This book is the detailed account of a Holocaust survivor who chose to use his mind creatively while he was in the Nazi death camps. He was starving and freezing. The was beaten and humiliated. His food, shelter and bedding was worse than what you would give to a dog.
He witnessed his friends and family being murdered right before his very eyes and he knew that if he had a breakdown, he'd be the next to go. This book is an incredible testimony of how you can jail the body but not the mind. Below is a video that gives an overview of Victor Frankl's theory of counseling called Logotherapy.
Another book I would recommend is A Child Called 'It' by Dave Pelzer. Pelzer was severely tortured and abused by his demented alcoholic mother nearly everyday of his childhood. No one came to his rescue until he was 12. He had wounds on his body. He was starving. His life was literally in danger. Some how, he turned things around in his mind and decided he was going to use his tormented upbringing as a testimony of how powerful attitude is when it comes to success and happiness.
Below is a video that summarizes the book and Dave Pelzer's story. It will be upsetting to some. After all, it is about child abuse.
Maybe we can talk about this more in a future class.
Have a great week and don't forget to take a big, deep breath everytime you start stressing out about the test.
Ms. Z
