Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Have you ever wondered why your situation isn't improving?
In this episode, Maurice Harker, Director of Life Changing Services, discusses the importance of the "Discover" and "Plan" steps in the Lost Battle Analysis process. He notes that while many men find it relatively easy to reflect on their misbehaviors and emotional reactions, they often struggle with discovering new ways to handle similar situations and formulating effective plans.
Maurice encourages men not to rush through the process and to spend ample time getting familiar with their Level Zero - the state of mind when they are at their best. Understanding their best selves will help them develop better discernment when they are not in Level Zero, guiding them to make more constructive choices.
He emphasizes that finding new ways to handle situations is a key aspect of personal growth and improving relationships. Men are urged to avoid being impulsive and impatient in their search for solutions. Instead, they should actively brainstorm and consider various possibilities for addressing challenging situations with elegance and skill.
To facilitate the discovery process, Maurice recommends reading books and seeking knowledge from those who may be smarter and wiser. He encourages men to be open to receiving revelation and insights beyond what they already know. Additionally, he highlights the value of seeking guidance from coaches or trained individuals if they encounter difficulties.
Furthermore, Maurice reminds men to have high expectations for themselves, just as Olympic athletes strive for excellence. By maintaining a strong focus on personal growth and handling difficult situations with dignity and grace, men can improve their relationships and become better partners in their marriages.
