If you tend to push stuff ahead of you until it grows completely overwhelming and unmanageable, then something else entirely is needed, than saying “just pull yourself together some more“.
If you could CHANGE
the exact BEHAVIOR that is
HOLDING YOU BACK
How much BETTER
would your life BECOME
GOING FORWARD?
What will it COST YOU
if you CARRY ON?
New Thoughts

New Opportunities
As long as we lack energy, we don’t have the proper FORESIGHT to predict where we’ll end up. So even though we are racing ahead at 100 mph, it often ends up being in the wrong direction. Mental Kung Fu helps to remove your tunnel vision and increases your mental bandwidth. It gives you the ability to make better decisions faster, so that you waste as little time as possible on the consequences of poor choices. This process frees you from the ingrained feeling of all the Damoclean burdens that hangs over your head, awaiting to crush you at any given moment.
More mental and physical overhead often translates into more economic overhead as well, since recurring expenses for miscellaneous mental and physical treatments are very expensive. You cannot be the person that you want to be as long as you constantly feel sleepy, depleted or in pain, so improving the main-tenants, vastly decreases the need for maintenance!
The road to sustainable success lies in sustained cause-compensation as opposed to vain symptom-reduction.
Mental Kung Fu helps you ACT
and removes what DISTRACT
Procrastination
=
Exasperation
If you tend to put other people’s needs ahead of your own, or never ask for help not wanting to inconvenience others, it can end poorly in the long run, and hurt the very ones you are trying to protect, much worse than from reaching out!
If you have unrealistically high expectations of yourself, your pursuit of perfection can end up costing you your ability to enjoy life.
Mental Kung Fu is about
PATTING yourself on the SHOULDER
instead of
PUNCHING yourself in the FACE
Good Advice
=
Bad Idea
When we feel depressed, we often look for solutions to help us. We ask friends and family for advice or search online, or the absolute worst: People giving us UNSOLICITED counseling, which can really make your blood boil!
There are so many “great advice” everywhere, that we end up with a diagnosis of “analysis-paralysis”.
But what constitutes “good advice” for one person, can be very bad advice for someone else!
Example: Let’s say you have a Band-Aid on, and would like to find out whether it is best to pull it off slowly, or just rip it off. The answer you receive, happens to be from someone who once skinned their knee, and back then, they had success with just ripping it off, so they well-meaningly tell you “the solution”, without asking about your particular situation. You take their “good advice” and rip off the bandage, that you unfortunately mislabeled in your eagerness to feel better, and inadvertently end up ripping open your surgical scar, with serious consequences to follow!
Your friend just meant you well, and you just wanted the fastest relief possible as you were in agonizing pain, but since there was no elaboration into what “IT” WAS ACTUALLY ABOUT, the quick-fix ended up causing long-term damage!
Mental Kung Fu means
Being SELF-CARING
instead of SELF-CRITICIZING
What Do YOU Need?
Stop Stress
Being busy is a part of life, but being stressed does not have to be!
Get concrete physical and mental techniques that you can use both privately and professionally, so that you retain your energy, regardless og how much chaos that surround you.
Learn to find exactly WHAT WORKS IN YOUR SITUATION!
Conquer Habits
High consumption-levels of sugar, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco/vaping, as well as spending a lot of time on digital devices, is often a symptom of something underlying.
Uncover the ROOT CAUSE of the undesired habits, instead of just focussing on covering up the symptoms.
Say goodbye to bad consciousness and start living your life NOW, instead of postponing it until AFTER reaching some made-up mile-stone.
Joy Of Movement
Using your body is the foundation of health, both mentally as well as physically and it should be something that YOU LOOK FORWARD TO.
Forget about what you think YOU HAVE TO DO, and instead focus on WHAT YOU LIKE DO.
Find the best way FOR YOU to get moving, REDUCE PAIN and INCREASE ENERGY, as well as give you some well-deserved "Me-Time".
Experimentation
=
Self-Realization
Mental Kung Fu does not “sell” fake self-confidence, because what “it” very often takes, is SELF-WORTH, and self-worth is not something that we can convince ourselves that we have.
We need concrete proof!
Deep down inside we can never lie to our-Selves, and as long as our self-confidence and self-worth is out of balance, we will always feel like we are missing “something or “someone”.
This is where Mental Kung Fu enters the picture, because it is in the process of transforming external knowledge into internal experience, that we rediscover our own abilities, which is exactly what helps anchor an honest sense of self-worth.
The more we allow ourselves to be influenced by the EXTERNAL, the more it will control our INTERNAL.
–This, we can learn to take control over OURSELVES!
Whether we for instance bite our nails, snack, smoke, drink, or some other distraction-action, as we seek to subdue our inherent sense of unease/unrest, doesn’t really matter. But what does matter, is BECOMING AWARE of which SITUATIONS and which EMOTIONS that TRIGGER our HABITS, because becoming aware of WHY we do what we do, is the first step on the road til SUSTAINABLE behavioral change.
Life isn’t easy, and we all have very different conditions and things we constantly have to account for, and it would be awesome if we could just get “the answer” to all our problems from some guru, but the fact of the matter is that no one knows more about YOU and YOUR LIFE than YOURSELF, what YOU WANT and WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY ALL THE WAY INTO YOUR BONES.
Everything you need to know is already just WAITING INSIDE OF YOU to be REDISCOVERED, and when found, you can finally start living your life, instead of postponing it until “you reach your goal” or “you deserve it”, in some far away future that likely never comes!
It is the adventurous part of the journey that it is all about, and not the destination, so the more FUN we can make the expedition, the more AWESOME EVERYTHING gets.
-Even if it takes a little while longer than we’d like, then who cares, ’cause we’re having A BLAST!
It is not about living everyday as if it were your last.
It is about living as if it WAS YOUR FIRST!
So:
Are you tired of feeling stuck in the hamster-wheel, and are you bruised all-over, from banging your head against a wall?
Would you like to BECOME FREE from the claws of your negative thought-loops?
Are you tired of marinating and do you want to START THE FINAL JOURNEY towards your procrastinated dreams?
Life waits for no one, so WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
