How to avoid being manipulated

We're just going to dive right in.

What is manipulation?

Controlling someone or something to your own advantage, often unfair or dishonestly.

Every single day we are surrounded by manipulations, from what you see on TV, what music you hear or what you listen to the radio, and the worst by people around you.

When you wake up in the morning your brain is still in sleeping mode, has not engaged with your activities because in the morning you don't have to think "I need to do a coffee'' is a habit, so you're doing anyway.

In the morning, most of the people put their TV on news. Without realizing it, they are brainwashed by the news. When your brain is not fully active, your subconscious mind is open to influences. And like this, bit by bit day by day, your subconscious mind is receiving information.

Most of the news on TV are full of violence, hate, and crimes. And without realizing you react “OMG this is awful'' your subconscious mind receive fear and terror. Why? Because of that feeling that you felt at that moment goes straight to your subconscious.

Your subconscious mind is like the hard wear of a computer. It is where all the "programs'' you have learned during your life, from walking, being safe etc.

The processor of a computer(CPU) is your brain, that helps you think, but the subconscious mind is the one who makes everything possible and rule your life.

So what happens when your subconscious mind is fed fear, and negativity, you become afraid of everything without realizing it.

The same with the radio, you go in the car, put the radio on, and drive. Driving at this point is a habit, your brain is not engaging, so your subconscious mind is fed again information, negative information, and I'm going to tell you why.

Most of the songs that you hear on the radio have subliminal messages.

What is a subliminal message?

A message is not only the words that you hear, sometimes is the words that you hear meant to go straight to your subconscious mind, but for the people to be in the dark is in the music and the frequency of the music to match your brain waves or to lower your brain waves to that frequency for the message to be received.

What's the message about? Can be anything from fear, to buy products, but at the end is all negative. We don't need our subconscious mind to fill with that.

And we are getting to when you go shopping. Most of the superstores and stores usually they have that horrible music that is too loud and in on repeat all the time.

Why? Because they have the same as the radio subliminal messages that goes straight to your subconscious mind ....to buy products, to come back to the same store, for them to have customers etc. you got the idea.

The key for a subliminal message to be successful is repetition.

Every day you hear the same news, the same songs at exactly the same time, everything that's on repeat is with a purpose, to fill your subconscious mind with negativity without you realizing.

This is the world we are living in today.

With people are a bit easy to realize if they are manipulating you.

Most of them are good with words, they will tell you exactly what you want to hear until they want something from you. And probably you will help them because you're a good friend.

Some of them they will use their tragic life to manipulated you because again they need something from you.

And you don't realize your being manipulated at this point until you're going to need their help and guess what? They can't help you.

How they can manipulate you?

Through feelings.

When someone is sharing his life and is sad, and you go like “I'm so sorry this happened to you '' that feeling right there is what get you hooked.

Or when you hear exactly what you want to hear from someone and are boosting your ego, that feeling right there works against you.

This is how most people get manipulated every day, repetition, and feelings.

And I will give you two examples of manipulation.

1. I know people that since they were children they heard "you're stupid'' "you can't do anything right'' etc. and the sad part is when you grow up like this at some point you actually start to think you're stupid, and you can't do anything right, and you will attract in your life situations that will make you look stupid or everything you do is not good enough.

Why? First, at some point, you actually believed that you're stupid and that feeling, that information when straight to your subconscious mind. How to get out of this situation? You have to realize you're not stupid, and you are good at doing what you do, whatever it may be. This positive feeling will cancel the negative one, that information that is in your subconscious mind, and you will attract a good situation for you.

2. You're at work, and you hear all the time “you're doing a good job'' etc. And is OK to be good at your job but when is on repeat, or you keep listening to this is boosting up your ego and what happens when your ego is too much, you think you're superior to everyone and nobody is like you, you're the best at everything. Well, that right there doesn't work in your favour because you're going to hurt people without realizing in a way or another, and that right there is karma. How to get out of this one? Stop listening too, just know you're good at it and let it be.

And you have to pay for your karma in this life or another. And trust me, it is hard.

How to avoid being manipulated. Pay attention to everything. Turn your TV off, especially in the morning when your brain is still sleeping. When you go to the store, buy fast what you need and get out. Turn your radio off or listen to your song that you know they are positive.

And with people. Do you really require people to use you and abuse you?

Think about it? And use your brain for thinking, listening to the information, doing your research, finding the meaning of the words? Are they good for you? Do they help you in some way? If not, walk away.
