 me again I hope you are enjoying us thus far we still have a lot to give you but we are gonna start open this we got the key to the seiri and the key is for the particular segment which is health and today's health segment has a very impressive guest like he's impressed the socks in fact the village was diverse socks but he's impressed the socks of a me a meanwhile I am Valentine or at calamiva and if you have any questions regarding the topic today which is the difference between a psychological strength and mental health that is a difference between psychological strength and mental health you can just hit us up what five on Facebook why two five four channel on Twitter hashtag is white in the morning they'll be somewhere below on your screen in other news come here and say hello to my guest hi hi how are you I'm fine thank you yeah I'm glad to be here today I'm glad to have you I really have yeah what is your good name sir my name is Daniel Songa yes well so now we were we were trying to break this down psychological strength versus mental health yes so actually let me just low-key tell your secret there have been several incidents that have occurred in the past year yeah and with it maybe perhaps I start with homicides we have them asides there was even a case of some young gentleman going into state house I don't know with a knife I don't know what he was trying to achieve and all of them we were claimed go resenting but you know like all of them were just blaming it on mental health yes there's a problem there maybe he's depressed or maybe and there's skeptics he's just being naughty and he's using this whole mental thing mental illness umbrella to save him yeah what do you think what what's going on here there's a there's a slight difference between mental health and psychology psychology is mostly the mind and behavior and mental health will touch the biological aspect of the brain and mental health it can be something that affect the brain beat from bath or something like that but psychological effect is by the thought processing and the philosophies that you carry in life and you see somebody you see in life we are demarcated in various schools of thoughts until the thought processing you can see somebody's psychocondition to be even a particular way and the ideology that they take in you see people have been radicalized to do some things because that is and the thing that may appear see if it's a mental issue but it's mostly the thought processing of the philosophies they are running in life so basically that's the difference he apocoretically is I have a question but there's this one story I once heard that there was a guy he was working in I want to say like a big factory kind of setting yes so they were locking up and he just happened to be the last one to leave yes so by mistake I did you think we're freeza freeza cool boy and then there was no one else to open it for him and then he sat in a corner and he first of all he couldn't believe what had happened maybe this is the first time this ever happened in the history of ever working there but he started slowly feeling cold because you know he's in a freezer and then he's feeling cold he's feeling cold so by the time the morning came they found him he had passed on yeah he was in a corner frozen yeah but the thing is the freezer wasn't on the freezer was not on like it was not on it was not cold it wasn't cold for yeah what was going on so what's that the power of the mind yeah what what what what there are some kinds of experiments that have been like for example in hypnosis is is something that is there to the mind and in hypnosis you can be hypnotized to think that this finger is hot and when you are touched actually it produces a band on your legit like your literal band because the mind the mind is so powerful in terms of like in your produce whatever you think and then that's our mind functions so that aspect of the conviction like for example the people of faith is the faith also is a purely psychological concept because if you if you can be able to merge the concert that are being taught in faith and then how it affects the scientific because God is the one who designed as even the scientific aspect of our being so you see what we are doing is like we're using thought processes to affect chemical processing you know in our physical bodies yeah so the thoughts that we entertain begins to affect the chemical reaction for example anger you see it's talked about psychological strength psychological strength is something that somebody there's some kind of people who can be able to be cool in a tough situation just observe that people are almost like eruptive and you see it's like within them they don't have something that is able to hold them together because they are crumbling from the end so that they be able to be eruptive that is psychological strength isn't it but it's because of the thought you see now anger in itself is not just because of a thought but there's a chem this chemicals also that are involved in our physical bodies and our causes to to erupt yeah so apocrypticalization let's get back to that yeah and this this is something that's quite fascinating yeah I would not understand how someone can be raised let's say in a middle income home you know they don't have that much but they don't lack they don't they don't lack at all they want for not they're the good school they are fed let's say maybe they they have the average love situation that the parents can give because again we're Africans and Africans are not actually known to I love you oh yeah such a good boy good girl no but we need to learn back we should yes but this is how we have been for generations yeah and then in comes someone who decides to recruit these people and tell them you know what we're in this organization this is Alshabab yeah or this is some extremists activists kind of situation and your life would be better if you come with me in fact when you kill yourself you will go to a better place yeah I will give you this amount of money maybe to help whoever you need to help yes and then you boof a whole entire establishment full of people sort of innocence you know and somehow this translates into you being righteous yeah how does that even work you everybody is a product of the environment of the knowledge they possess you're a product of the environment of the knowledge you possess so in such kind of an environment somebody is like this I can say like mostly this natural world is more like an illusion in the aspect of the mind and the philosophies that run the mind is the reality of that individual you may be living the same world but actually in a totally we're in totally different worlds mentally have you seen like the society's profile according to the nature of the philosophies that we carry and you may be seated in a next to somebody but in totally different worlds how you process your thoughts your belief systems your convictions and think that are reality to you everyone each one is looking at each other selling I wish you will understand and be free and you see so some would do is in that kind of a system feels like they are the person ought to die because they are not part of there and they're convinced they're totally convinced and like there's nothing that can set you try to even cancel that person out of that situation that kind of a thinking and they won't buy into it they feel like you also need you need to listen to their to their part of the story and join their way of thinking and that's what profiles the society now because every every person has their teachers is somebody you're looking up to because you're being mentored in any kind of an area every kind of an area and some some kinds of people especially the aspect of radicalization that there's some kinds of people that have just been born in that kind of environment they happen to be that environment so they keep listening this headshed towards humanity as such and it changes because how you process thoughts begins to become filters it filters how you see see as much as we have eyes we don't see with our eyes you see through our eyes but the inner person that is in the the kind of the mindset that you have begins to filter you can see you can see same same scenario to people and we will deduce information differently according to the philosophy that we carry you see so you can see something somebody somebody can see something the the next thing is flight a person sees something and they are drawn to that isn't it like like like in African society there's no you can find some when somebody you see somebody having a snack as a pet the first thing you'll be like okay we are black we don't do such things this is witchcraft but to somebody somewhere else they have related to a snack you see and they were like wow it's so pretty it's so pretty and before you look at that and your blood is so you see the mind the mind is able to to adapt to any situation this kind of thing that people have thought about magic and such kind of thing some kinds of magicians and time they're trying to do some kind of things like maybe passing through fire and sometimes they want to suddenly be beyond just the ability of just training the mind to accept to relate to the environment wow it's so funny that the mind can be able to relate to the environment to the extent that now you've been an environment that is hostile but because of that you might the same way that guy throws in a freezer that was not on it wasn't on it is the same is the same way a person can be in fire and not get burnt because the mind is so powerful it it puts the when the moment that that philosophies established there's a place there's a gap between just having an ideology and being able to be established in that ideology when you're set of that particular ideology even yourselves now respond to the established that's marvelous I can tell myself what to do yeah I can't tell you me become a violinist okay now today we're going to have a great day and that's it sure and you see like example entrepreneurs if you can see the mindset of people who are achievers it's like in the midst of every kind of thing you see that the even problem they are way of interpreting problems different a problem does not put them down they look at a problem they see this is an opportunity and you see when you look at a problem see this is an opportunity that's the word with your mark of distinction there's no but there's a millionaire that's not that's not a millionaire somebody was milled lions isn't it it means that the butterflies or the belly is able to to mill those butterflies and is able to conquer that they have it's a it's a mindset in them and you see most of them have a story especially if they are self-made they say a particular place I was living in a in a in a single room somewhere in a in a shack somewhere in the streets they have a particular kind of a story then the first thing they will tell you is that they began changing first of all their mind the other thing they thought the process thoughts they began to tease themselves as achievers and because they're able to program them themselves that way the environment had to respond that's beautiful yeah you have the mind as part to exact pressure on the environment and the environment will respond where does low self-esteem and high self-esteem comes from because in my research I found that apparently those who with low self-esteem are more likely to abuse more than people with high self-esteem not that you know that they don't you know partake but they just have a more affliction I don't really know how to put it because now in their state let's say you're under the influence and you have low self-esteem the next thing is oh my gosh I'm useless oh my gosh I'm not worth anything oh my gosh my my life oh and then maybe you come and start blaming your parents all my patterns did to this to me oh my gosh my sibling had a better life oh why didn't my parents treat me like the way that my neighbor's parents no off no off no off it's always either self-destructive or sublime to someone else so what is this is mental health is a psychological is going on here it's it's mostly psychological yeah because everybody faces almost the same problems is there is a possession of our disposition that determines now somebody for left low self-esteem they want the environment to favor them fast somebody with a high self-esteem that it doesn't matter the environment the environment has to change to their team you see so it's an art is a is a is a disposition so the person in the high self-esteem probably may face the same kind of situation or even there are some kinds of people that have been those kinds of environment they had self loss of esteem then eventually they go to a place of high self-esteem it's because of the thought process there they're taking places that they had I can be in an environment that I've been oppressed or something then I sit down on a chair like this I can I can come and sit on this chair from a place of loss of esteem and I can leave this chair from a place of high self-esteem without anything else being so you see loss of esteem I can I can sit down here and say okay everybody doesn't like me everybody you see fights me my parents don't like me I don't have friends a second things and the moment I'm doing that I'm building blocks you see you see somebody loss of esteem even if even if in the religious aspect when so when you're praying and you're telling you saying I'm unworthy and second things you see your body's listening so you walk at other place and the evidence of unworthiness will be upon you like you feel unworthy you automatically feel because that sense of the mind that you have that you're unworthy is reverberating an entire being if your bones are feeling unworthy but somebody else sits down there and say I'm an achiever doesn't matter because everybody even if you're an achiever you find opposition there's no in one of that as much as people may have places that they have extreme kind of situations but we have we can have testimonies so people have been in extreme operations and they're still able to overcome they have high self-esteem and there's some kinds of people even somebody of loss of esteem doesn't matter whether you love them they won't see it in fact they'll be why do you love me I'm not even ready to resist them yeah you see somebody you can you can find that you have you can say I have so much love I have enough love to supply to somebody who doesn't have even a laugh of themselves but it's a problem loving somebody who does not love themselves because they don't have that vow to be able to receive it you see so it's an issue that somebody can sit down on a channel we need to say now I need to change my life because people when they're coming into drug abuse first of all they're trying to find an attachment it's like you're waiting for the environment to validate you first before you come up and sometimes yes sometimes it can be good for us to think okay let us supply an environment for all this kind of but for how long will somebody be in that place because it doesn't matter whether it's applied if you've not come to a place of attainment you will not be able to turn the game around so eventually it comes to a point where that is self I whether somebody tells you or whether you come to that conclusion as a person you have everybody has to come to a place and say that I need to change the game I need to be Lord over the environment not the environment loading over me yeah I like that I have a personal experience there's a time in my life I was grief-stricken and at this point previously I was okay you know but then grief happened and suddenly there was a void in my life it's a very big point and I did not know did not know how to fill it and I kept running away from myself yeah I would never allow myself to be alone either for this person or I've gone out here or I'm busy you know by taking somewhere else but until you know I met myself I met myself in the grief now I actually just had to feel it and I felt and it felt like all my bones were breaking all at once yeah when I came out of that I noticed a very big difference so if I was to walk in maybe a day that I'm not on set I'm not the host of the day or whatever I would find people being intimidated by me and what is the problem like I can't just come and watch you adjust the behind the scenes yeah I know are you coming like are you planning to I'm not planning to do the interview I'm not planning to do anything I'm not even planning to be on TV today I just came to see how you do your thing you know appreciate you from behind the scenes so I guess I I really understand that manifestation from from being you know all like this to a suddenly I'm so much people are starting to notice and they go oh okay okay clearly it's all in the mind so I understand again that people who are I want to say athletes but let's just put them sports sports yeah sports people and particular sports yeah like I saw boxing boxing is is a very extreme sport and it just needs you yeah you can't you don't have teammates attitude taps you rely on so you need to be very psychological strong but very very in the game you need to be very aware of of yourself because you you reach a point where there's a lot of fatigue and then you're taking a lot of punishment so once you start telling yourself hey by the way me jog oh my gosh that's a wrap you've lost the game yeah even if your hand was you know if you had the upper hand rather so help me again this is psychological strength yeah ha is he says he's tricky yeah but what is mental health then what's this whole mental health awareness that we're bringing out into the country what is this we're talking about mental awareness okay there's some kinds mental awareness or mental health mostly is you will factor that mostly in terms of disease best things like schizophrenia those kind of things and it's more like the biological functioning of the brain and all the kinds of disease and sometimes for mental health you treat mental health in a hospital put under medication and such how can you tell the difference yeah how can you tell the difference between psychological strength and mental health the difference between someone being bipolar and someone being depressed the difference between someone having an actual biological situation going on with them and they just don't believe in themselves how can I know just by standing and looking at them from from basic situation like somebody mental has somebody on the streets and is talking to himself outside perhaps it has got into a place of mental illness okay yeah there's some there's some kind of psychological thing that can bring into mental illness because when somebody goes beyond depression somebody can go mad isn't it it begins to become mental because see as we said thought processing sometimes effective in the the brain structure yeah so by looking at somebody you can tell from this sense there's some situations that you can say this one this person I just need to change their philosophy and they'll be okay you see and there's a kind of a person you feel like somebody who has loss of esteem you can tell that it is a psychological issue you just need to tell to change their philosophy because you cannot treat mental health by telling somebody you are are you okay you're beautiful you see you're an achiever you can do this it can't it can't work it needs to be maybe under medication and such but there's some kinds of people can tell this person I think they're in a while they feel lonely just need to give them support to change their philosophy and to bring in the who they are from within and they kick in then they'll be able to change the situation so there are people that have met there's a story let me start story so there's a story of a girl walking she's just walking somewhere going along her ways and then a snake comes and that's really hot and the snake is tired so the snake tells a girl please carry me I'm tired then the girls like no if I carry you going to bite me and I don't want that story is tacky so no then the snake says no I won't bite you I promise just carry me because I'm really tired and tell me where you can maybe and then I'll go on my way so the girl says okay fine I'll carry you so carry a snake a few meters later but and the girl has a snake wait she already had this conversation why have you bit at me and the snake said you knew what I was when you carried me so who told you now I got to my here's Santiago Ponda my take it so you have I have encountered people and they're okay I don't know if they're I want to say that they're all female but the ones that I have encountered are female and that they look very you know soft and oh my gosh they need help so I said okay fine I have enough stamina in myself and psychological strength to you know some buzzer and then you come later and find out these people will bite you in some way or the other or you find that they're secretly competing with you now I talk like you just trying to mind your own business trying to live your best life trying to do things before you reach the finish line what is that is that a psychological problem because I don't get it how would you bite someone who's trying to help you the issues that's majorly psychological because it's an issue of thought-processing and aspect of competition is like avoid somebody's not has not freed themselves with the respect to another person I've ever seen this person who is jealous about your achievement and secretly they are wishing for a downfall not so secretly apparently sometimes you can even tell like even physical somebody just looking at you like I wish you you see because of that voidness and they're not confronting themselves to deal with the thing that they're lacking in their lives and you see most of times when somebody has as and some some people even have they have achievements in life and they still have that kind of a thing once the issue normally in life is when somebody has grown under oppression even if they attain they automatically achieve the status of wanting to oppress others oh wow it's like it's something that happens psychologically subtle is underlying issue but you see until we begin to confront ourselves we we cannot free ourselves from from these other things like attaching ourselves that even if I achieve it has to be attacked to somebody or somebody trying you see people trying to compete means they avoid they're emptying some in some kind because you're not competing with other person you're not competing to prove a point it's like because for the purpose of achievement it's not for the just for the sake of achievement they're trying to prove a point and trying to prove a point it means there's some philosophy this person is running on that is robbing them of the joy that's such a sad life to live imagine where you can just be happy with under your skin just be happy with yourself and your circumstances just be content be joyful just be joyful you are there just being all the time angry all the time sad all the time compete hey my gosh so that's psychological so that's the mindset that's that's something you cannot force unto them they must decide with them they must decide and every person may take different because according to their personality some somebody can change in a moment and some may somebody may be still dealing with something to do with 1987 some people are still stuck at 1987 it's a simple thing I see some of the things and you ask them they'll say somebody grieve me in this particular way and even the person that's talking about maybe may have died but they're still living in the grief they cannot get over it and you see they are vengeance like they're pegged that they have vengeance against this issue and what they're they're experiencing in life is like taking poison expecting your enemy to die yes so sometimes how to conquer these things sometimes you can begin to to prop up pillars that was thought processes that will help you support you get over it you can begin to say okay second things are common to happen in this world it's common to happen in this world you can begin to say things like the problems are coming my way and not for my destruction they may be they're coming to reveal a better part of me that when the moment you see so you see now when you begin to put those thoughts in mind they begin to shift your disposition in terms of how you observing that issue so begin to observe that issue and now it's not the issue controlling how you be but you begin now to begin take charge of other issue and you see you come out a better person I got you're saying after explain that grief until you came to a place of confronting yourself and you realize you can tell you came out a stronger person so that second of situations whenever it is that in your environment you somebody who rules over that you're able to speak authoritatively with somebody who experiences some situation and can begin actually to become a pillar to support them out of that situation because first of all to you is not something that is rare in this world is something that is common so you're not in the place of why why me why that is it you just say okay in this world such kind of a thing it has a it has a possibility of happening and now is upon me to take responsibility to rule over the situation out of the station to rule over me I like that I really do yeah so class what have we learned so far we have learned that psychological strength and mental health are two different things psychological strength is something from within something that you keep telling yourself and once you tell yourself something the universe has no option but to comply to you mental health on the other hand is biological so you have conditions such as schizophrenia you have bipolar etc etc and these most often more often than not rather require medical attention okay so as we wrap this up I want you to give me please an exercise for the audience something because I understand when you wake up the first couple of minutes during the day are very important that's how you set the pace for the rest of the day there's some things I like to do in the morning and I feel like they work very well for me and if I don't I'll feel the effect if I don't do it I feel the effect but I will calibrate during the course of the day but I want the viewers at home to at least know there's a pattern that you can follow in the morning to make you feel stronger to make you feel you know coming in one or just give anyone say yeah if you feel your queens it on the baddest without necessarily harming anyone else without necessarily bringing anyone else down and that's you know life in general a garden is full of different types of flowers there's not one flower that's telling the other and prettier than you they are just coexisting and it's a beautiful place so what would you recommend sir yeah the same way we're talking about the mind is the mind is that like a garden where you you weed you kill snacks and plant roses is it so the same thing is we have to be very intentional with our mind in terms of like the way you think is who you are man he's as he thinks so in the morning somebody can just work up I see most of times people work up and they're like wow it's another day you see that alone begin to set on course the forces that will you see it will be that your life will be that we'll have to go ah see but work up in the morning I was like wow you can have an access like this wake up in the morning taking a deep breath life is good let's do this yeah it's another opportunity you see like the moment you do that everything will begin to come on course to favor you because you are your energetic you first life and you realize you there's some people don't get easily fatigued the people after sleeping sleep is equally fatigued they wake up tired it's mostly because of how they think they're not looking forward to another day but somebody who's an achiever they wake up in the morning I like wow it's another opportunity to progress and if we do that daily eventually we kick in and to be able to overcome life issues that we face daily and then okay now that you've woken up you've taken your deep breath guys take a deep breath I say life is good and then shortly after you walk out of bed and then your small toe it's like it has a GPS for the corner of furniture you spend a couple of second seconds just writhing in pain and then maybe toothpaste in Asia so now you you feel like now the problems are piling up okay so what do you tell yourself then after that because if you you started from life is good it ought to be the bedrock of everything yeah so you feel everything through life is good so when you hit the bed it means now you need to you need to think about what you've a better bed and such when it's about toothpaste if thinking now I need a tooth but dispense out several things somebody was thinking achievement every problem they look at they look for solutions how can I make better see somebody was living in a posh place it's because they are trying to make life better and it started by a thought they're trying to alleviate some kind of problem they face a particular kind of problem and like so somebody was hit the bed and maybe they told him like ouch no get back in place we got to do this so he's limping you see every single people are energetic they don't see any problem we are going to do this whether you like it or not whether you like it or not and you'll overcome life because if you want to be to to to drift back into oh wow now the problems are piling problems are there but you have to the attitude that the problem determines how your life will be hmm so it's just shifting the attitude every moment your heat you put that in the moment you say no you're not gonna roll over me I'm above this someone steps on you in the matter to you say no it's okay it's okay maybe you just want to tell me hi hi yeah yeah sure you see there's an attitude disposition somebody stepping in you and you like maybe just tell me hi or you say these things happen somebody can can step on you on a matter against a conversation how what do you do see is a disposition but somebody has been stepped on and the entire day will be ruined yeah yeah all right so maybe in conclusion give me one sentence to wrap this up right this one one sentence to wrap this up in a nutshell yeah yeah first one thing that you can say is like life is good life is good and it's worth enjoying and making the better out of it in every moment that you experience every situation that comes your way look at it as an opportunity to mine out something that will make you to be a person of a difference something that will give you a distinction how it processes our thoughts in every challenge that we face gives us a mark of distinction that we may step ahead and step out of the crowd step out of the crowd is because of the challenges or the problem they're solved so in every kind of a problem that you face as an individual your attitude disposition begins to give you a mark of distinction and you may prosper through the process the thought process that you take through the challenge that you face there's no challenge that is here to destroy every challenge that is coming your ways to bring out the best in you because the power is in you there's able to overcome every challenges in the world there's no challenge in the world that is beyond your ability to bring under your control supposed to rule over it there's nothing new under the Sun that means there's no problem you're going to face that no one has ever faced before there's no problem that is going to overwhelm you that someone has not come out of yeah so it's gonna be all right so take that deep breath it's gonna be a great day I hope to meet with the balloons is a Monday please have an amazing week yeah but don't go away we still have politics coming up next and man crush Monday whoo what if I found Facebook at white if I fortune on Twitter hashtag is one in the morning you don't want to miss out you really don't
