Ben Amos' story will motivate you to break free from negative thinking, depression, and anxiety. When Ben was two years old, he was run over by a drunk driver. Among many injuries, he suffered a popped lung, broken bones, ruptured spleen and multiple surgeries.
This is the second time
I have interviewed Ben Amos. The first interview, you can
also listen to below, was Ben's story from his
memoir How
To Break Free From Depression, Fear and Anxiety in 30 days - Using
Ancient Secrets.
After
Ben's accident, he suffered from seizures, brain damage and
bullying by kids for fun. Depression and suicidal
attempts were part of Ben's life until he was able to break
free and learn to reprogram his brain.
Ben is
now a
successful businessman who is involved
in the arts; dance, music and theater. He has also served in
various ministerial capacities.
In his
second interview, Ben shares how "the
mind was designed to be programmed - every day, all day. The
problem is that few of us realize it. Bob Proctor says habits are
not broken; they are replaced. Traditional thinking has been that
we break a habit by not doing it over a certain period of time,
normally 21 to 30 days, which is the same amount of time it takes
to develop a habit. That is only half the truth. If a habit
is not to replace with a higher habit the likelihood of falling
back into that destructive or non-productive behavior is almost
guaranteed. To truly overcome a habit we must invoke what’s known
as the Law of Displacement."
