Non-attachment & cognitive behavioral therapy practices for your life.
What you believe is happening in your life is only your perception. It may be interpreted in a totally different way by someone else.
Non-attachment, a Buddhist practice makes you leave your perception in order to see an event as it is or a person as he or she is without judgment. You feel the good or bad feelings caused by the event or person; however, you don’t become attached to them, so you don’t react irrationally through your emotions.
Instead you see the event or person at a higher level of consciousness. By practicing this, you can see through the clouds of your emotions to see all angles of your situation to act in the best way possible.
Combine this practice with cognitive behavioral therapy to see past your cognitive distortions as shown by the book Feeling Good by Dr. David Burns. ❤
I do my best to implement these practices in my life. It’s challenging but totally beneficial. Have a great day my friends! 😃
In this picture, I completed my 97th exercise for 2021 by running 3.51 miles in my neighborhood on 9/1/2021. Then I did my 49the strength training at home with 200 crunches and 200 push-ups. 🏃♂️
So much of our anxiety comes from what we can’t control.
For artists and entrepreneurs, we worry if others will choose our projects.
For attorneys, we worry if opposing counsel and their client will meet us at a reasonable middle ground or if the trier of fact will rule in our favor.
For athletes, we worry if the coach will pick us for the team.
And on and on . . .
However, we do have control on our effort to develop our knowledge, skills, experience, and relationships day in and day out.
There are also ways we can use technology to share our work and bypass the gatekeepers.
Like my soccer coach Ron Mata at Pearl City High School told us in the locker room. Play with tenacity like how a bulldog bites and never lets go.
Keep doing the best you can for your mind, body, and soul. ❤
Keep spreading kindness, empathy, and compassion.
When you do this you are already a winner regardless if the powers that be choose you because as one of my favorite entrepreneurs and writers James Altucher @altucher says, you already chose yourself.
And as I like to say when we work on our passion projects, “Let’s rock!”
In this picture, I completed my 89th exercise for 2021 with 200 crunches and 200 push-ups (44th strength training for 2021). I also ran 3.51 miles in my neighborhood (Ran 267.69 miles total for 2021).
Have a routine to launch your day with a good mood!
To manage my monkey mind (worries, racing thoughts, fear) as shown on the Monkey Mind Unisex T-Shirt I’m wearing (available for purchase at Positive Masters e-commerce store at https://positivemasters.com), I start my day by journaling my wins from the previous day, sleep, any dreams, action plan for the day, and ideas for my most important project or two for the day. I love to do this while listening to electronic dance music, my happy music! I also express my thanks to my tech toys for being a huge part of my life! 🤪
Have a routine to launch your day with a good mood, so you’re ready to rock your work on your hustle day or spend quality time with people your love on your rest day. 😃🌄

Now is the most important time, not the past, not the future, but right now. We think we’ll be happier if something better should happen to us in the future. However, the grass is not always greener when we get there. So, let’s do our best to enjoy and make the most of what’s before us now. If we do this, we’ll have times of joy no matter what happens in our future.

In a world that can be cruel at any moment, you can make it crueler or better.
You can choose to create life. That’s easy. But what’s your intent? Not so easy. Unlike suffering, which can be be intentional or unintentional, kindness can only be felt when it’s intentional. Compassion and patience take effort. Whereas, anger and impatience are effortless. In a world that can be cruel at any moment, you can make it crueler or better.
– Positive Masters, Jon Riki Karamatsu, 9/14/2020 –
As I dive deeper into my studies of psychology, philosophy, sociology, mental health, neuroscience, history, and other fields about humans, I came up with this poem. Some humans can be so destructive, yet others can be so loving. On the bright side, throughout history, many people have done amazing things, even finding purpose and happiness under the cruelest and most heartbreaking situations. Be the light for those who are suffering in darkness.

When things go wrong, be patient with yourself. Celebrating or at least acknowledging your little wins are extremely important for your progress. It’s also very important for your mental health because you release dopamine that elevates your mood. Your slow progress could potentially lead you to a major breakthrough.

4: Positive Masters Show – Matching Your Passions With Your Projects
Episode 4 of the Positive Masters Show has the following practices to help you to match your passions with your projects and to excel at them:
1. Define what passion means to you. Having passion in your project, if defined right, will motivate you to work hard on your project with grit and patience.
2. Practicing “delayed gratification” can help you to succeed on your passion projects and life.
3. Creating many future simulations in your head based on your past success and failure can play a role on your progress for your passion projects. The more you try things, the more you learn from your success and failure, and through this knowledge, you iterate your future simulations to improve.
4. When you no longer have passion for your project, you can apply your knowledge, skills, and relationships that you gained from it to another passion project of yours.

In this clip of Episode 1 of the Positive Masters Show podcast, I mention how you can bring people together through your art. Art forms such as novels, poetry, theatre, movies, music, designs, and drawings, can bring out the emotions of your audience and make them connect with your story that may have a deep message on issues like war, discrimination, racism, physical violence, verbal abuse, bullying, suicide, and mental health. If you can make someone care about your character when they normally wouldn’t but for your art, that’s huge! Now they have empathy and compassion for that character and all the people that fits into that category of your character. Through your art, you can spread love and peace!
