In this episode, I speak with Mark England of the “Enlifted Method”—a coaching system that will help you shed any victim stories you have through the very careful and thoughtful process that Mark has been teaching to people for many years (you can learn more about it on his website, enlifted.me).
The show starts with Mark sharing his own story as he explains how important words, story, and breath are to helping us disengage and do some more productive thinking about the way we think. This is such an interesting premise that we’ve discussed on the show before—how much our past programming and traumas (both large and small) can affect and compromise our ability to enjoy and be productive in everyday life.
You will love Mark’s engaging and casual storytelling style, and the conversation gets pretty deep as we talk about the things that keep us stuck in life—after listening to this episode, you will never again be cavalier about the words you use to describe your own life and the things that have happened to you.  As you will hear, it’s not about what happened to you—it’s about what you think has happened to you that makes the biggest difference. 
 
TIMESTAMPS:
It is not what happened to you, it’s what you think about what happened to you. [00:43]
Sometimes when you repeat the story of your experience several times, it begins to change course. [06:42]
The organization teaches people the power of their words. People who come to them are most interested in learning about the victim mentality and goal setting. [13:01]
The definition of the victim mentality is an acquired personality trait where a person tends to regard himself or herself as the victim of the negative actions of others. Even in the absence of clear evidence. [15:29]
It’s easy to see the worst in people and take things personally when your breath is trapped in your chest. [16:40]
Why is breath so integral to your process? [23:29]
Until you get into the story, it is really hard to get out. [28:51]
Most of us have a recurring theme from unprocessed childhood trauma that plays out for the rest of our lives. [34:52]
Does this method run afoul of traditional psychotherapy and counseling? [41:55]
Self-deprecating internal dialog can be examined by writing it down, and read aloud several times. [44:09]
The more emotional one is about their story, the more attached they are to how the words are put together.  [47:29]
Breathing is an important part of this training. [48:55]
What people take this Enlifted Method Workshop that Mark teaches? [54:20]
After listening to this show, what can a listener do to understand this process? [58:58]
