Out of a million pieces of information from the environment, we are able to identify the only one that somehow directly concerns us.
The world is what we pay attention to.
Out of a million pieces of information from the environment, we are able to identify the only one that somehow directly concerns us.
For example, we suddenly realize that someone who passed us on a bike is our friend, we haven’t seen since school or that you have the same jacket in your closet like the woman who is walking in front of you…
We “fish out” these pieces of information from the environment in response to the memory tasks stored in our brain.
What many people don’t realize is that our thoughts about ourselves work the same way. If we say to ourselves in our inner language that we are useless, then when we take up professional or private challenges, we will feel more anxious. It will be an emotion that informs about the internal struggle not only with motivation and fear for results, but it will be information about the predetermined uncertainty as to the skills and predispositions.
The phrase “I’m useless” is also a very strong message by which we touch our identity. At the very beginning, it is extremely important to catch such thoughts and reformulate them into specific areas in which I feel uncertain about my abilities, for example: “I lacked such and such competences in the work of X, I did not achieve. I didn’t achieve the intended results, that’s why I feel this way now. ” This form of internal dialogue makes it possible to take specific actions and change.

I am a cross-cultural psychologist, business trainer, coach at Infinity Power International, a specialist in brand management through vision, mission and values. I graduated from the SWPS University of Humanities in Warsaw and Stanford Graduate School of Business. I built my knowledge and many years of experience in management in cooperation with managers in Poland and abroad, and during research that I carried out in China. I conduct training and managerial coaching for corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as open training in the field of Neurolinguistic Programming at the Infinity Power International Academy.
During training and coaching, I work on the assumptions that we were created to develop, improve and achieve success. In my work with curiosity, professionalism, responsibility and reliability, I accompany all training participants and individual clients on the way to discovering and using their potential. I help them in exploring their unique “matrix of success” the way to achieve the goals. I know that everyone, no matter what he is doing right now, can make art of his life and create streaks of our successes.
