Empower Your Pattern

Hello all      Recently I listened to a powerful Podcast where the host was talking about 3 essential things that govern how we think and live and live and these are feelings thoughts and behaviors.  This goes to the heart of what I preach and my CAP  Method..      It is clear that negative feelings lead to negative thoughts and then the behaviors but if we reverse it and channel our thoughts.    This is how it goes. C Choose;   We can turn negative thoughts into potentially positive choices each day as we work to calendar and move forward.   Yesterday I had received some upsetting news of a personal nature I will not go into the pickup but at 1st I had some negative thoughts which could have led to some negative action.      But then I realized it as a content creator I have to practice what i  preach.       So I took some medication talk to a friend a little bit and then decided to...

 Ladies and gentlemen,      I am excited grateful and delighted to launch an arm of my business called Pattern Portal Coaching.  Target audiences would be college students and those in career transitions who need coaching on success and confidence.  In this coaching method I show the patterns of success, along with a self-coaching method to handle negative thoughts that come your way.  This method also helps with finding the correct patterns of success in your life.      This coaching will not be therapy, though I will be empathetic.  This is more career and success oriented with some help in dealing with negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that can keep you from being a success.      I got the idea from my friends Dave and EMily, and yesdterday November 12th I launched it through my podcast Empower Your Pattern 2.0 as well as the Empower Your Pattern 2.0 YouTube channel.  The first coaching session will be co...

          Recently I have become acutely aware of how loud and demanding our reactive culture is being.  That's why I want to launch my brand of coaching called Pattern Portal Coaching, an arm of my business James Hendrick Empowerment.      I am not a therapist, but I can be a sympathetic advisor for the lonely visionaries in this world.  I believe I can help people cross the deep waters they are called to go, so that they can succeed.       We cannot escape this reactive culture, but the one thing we can do is respond in a way based on our choices, actions, and how we pursue happiness.     The theologian Jeffrey R Holland says "Happiness is like a butterfly.  IF you chase it, it will elude you.  But if you remain, it will come and rest on your shoulders."  Our reactive culture screams, "Chase it!  Get it!  Hate it!"  That's not happiness!  That's not a healthy pursuit of h...

Hello ladies in gentlemen.       Is introducing a blog post about what I see is a sensitive but important subject.   I have been asking myself this question for over a year now since the pandemic  began.        This morning I was reading my church's devotional when the discussion turned to taking care of your family.   And over I see it as a topic of noble interest,  Each person's situation is unique in a reactive culture that tries to pigeon hole and label people.  " I'm single.   For the time being I live alone.   If there is a spiritual injunction in Christ to take care of your family,  My family is spread out all over the state.   Who is my family?"       I have to be brilliantly honest with you and say and say that this very question and this very concern perplexed me such to the point that I made an appeal to the scriptures to find out what family in my instance ...

It was September 1983 in my maternal grandfather started a front end and alarmed business   Is in a small gas station in Midland Texas.   He had just been laid off from a tar company that he had been working for for at least 6 years.  Now for the last 5 of the 6 years left in his life he grabbed his business repairing cars and is Carson making his customer smile.         One day when I was 13 or 14 he came to me and my Uncle Andy said he wanted Andy to someday eventually take over the business.   Andy who was the same age as I am told granddad that he would not take the business       I felt saddened and I told my granddad that if I could see I would take up upon me the slaughter family name and take over his business when he was one to retire.       The business went from a small 2 garage gas station to a large garage with an office and back.   In October 1988 granddad closed the doors on his...

    Good afternoon, I am so grateful to tell you what I have overcome.     I started feeling depressed one Sunday morning when a dark cloud seemed to cover over me. I tried to pretend for a day or so that it was nothing. But within 2 days thick loneliness gathered around me, and I felt that the only person I could turn to was my best friend across the street..  I had taken a break from podcasting, but even that seemed ridiculous. The next Sunday it happened all over again, the loneliness and lack of connection creeped over me.  There was a talk of a possible change of congregations.  I felt more and more unsure.  Before you know it, two days had past and I sunk into a sea of reacctivity.  Depression and anxiety dogged me so much that I missed last week’s meeting. Then things came to a head, despite the help of friends my bipolar depression got worse and worse.  Finally ast Friday, my aide and close friend came to my rescu...

    "Negative Thoughts suddenly come up when you least expect it." kurt Dunca.     "Sometimes we have to tell the critic inside us to shut up!" Les Brown.      One of the basis of Empower Your Pattern to build your signifficance and success is challenging negative thoughts.  And one of the elementary principles I use to challenge negative thoughts is what I call The CAP Method.  I will explain this thuroughly. 1.  Choices:  We cannot choose how adversity and negative thoughts come, but we do have control on how we preactively and proactively choose.  One of the things I do when I write down and chalenge my negative thoughts with logical reasoning, I also look at choices I can make to get those thoughts back to the positive.  The belief and freewill of choice is a key principle to challenging negative thoughts. ACT:  One of the best ways to challenge negative thoughts is to design proactive action.    Preside...
