February is Parental Alienation Awareness Month

Parental Alienation (PA) is a term used to describe a child’s unjustified campaign of denigration against one parent. It is a form of psychological abuse that occurs when one parent manipulates and brainwashes a child into believing the other parent is bad, evil, or worthless. PA can have a devastating impact on both the targeted parent and the child.

PA is not a recognized mental disorder, but it is a recognized form of emotional abuse. It can occur in any type of family, regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientation. However, it is most commonly seen in families who are going through a divorce or separation. In these cases, one parent may use the child as a pawn in the ongoing conflict between the parents, turning the child against the other parent.

Symptoms of PA can vary depending on the child’s age, but some common signs include:

  • Refusing to visit or talk to the targeted parent
  • Making negative or derogatory comments about the targeted parent
  • Expressing fear or anger towards the targeted parent without any justifiable reason
  • Displaying a sudden and drastic change in behavior towards the targeted parent
  • Believing and repeating lies or false accusations about the targeted parent

PA is a complex issue and it is not always easy to identify. The child may not even be aware that they are being manipulated and brainwashed. They may genuinely believe that the targeted parent is a bad person. It is important to remember that the child is not at fault in these situations, they are being used as a tool by the abusive parent.

The impact of PA on the targeted parent can be devastating. They may feel rejected, hurt, and powerless. They may also feel guilty, as if they have done something wrong to cause the child to turn against them. In some cases, the targeted parent may even experience depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues as a result of the abuse.

The impact on the child can also be severe. They may feel confused, guilty, and torn between their parents. They may also experience emotional and behavioral problems, such as anxiety, depression, and acting out. In some cases, the child may even develop trust issues and have difficulty forming healthy relationships in the future.

It is important to understand that PA is not the fault of the targeted parent, and they are not responsible for the child’s behavior. The abusive parent is the one who is responsible for the child’s behavior, and they are the ones who need to be held accountable.

There are several ways to address PA and help the child, the targeted parent, and the family as a whole. One effective way is through therapy. A therapist can work with the child, the targeted parent, and the abusive parent to help them understand and cope with the situation. They can also help the child and the targeted parent to rebuild their relationship.

Another effective way is through the involvement of a neutral third party, such as a mediator or a guardian ad litem. These professionals can help to facilitate communication between the parents and can also help to identify and address any issues of PA.

It is also important to involve the legal system in cases of PA. The abusive parent can be held accountable for their actions and may face legal consequences, such as losing custody or visitation rights. However, it should be noted that legal intervention should not be the first step and should only be done in cases where therapy and other methods have failed.

In conclusion, Parental Alienation is a form of emotional abuse that can have a devastating impact on both the targeted parent and the child. It is important to recognize the signs of PA and to take action to help the child, the targeted parent, and the family as

Parental Alienation is a form of emotional abuse that can have a devastating impact on both the targeted parent and the child. It is important to recognize the signs of PA and to take action to help the child, the targeted parent, and the family as a whole. This can include seeking therapy, involving a neutral third party, and in severe cases, involving the legal system. It is crucial to understand that PA is not the fault of the targeted parent, and they are not responsible for the child’s behavior. The abusive parent is the one who is responsible and should be held accountable for their actions. It is important to remember that PA is a complex issue and that early intervention is key to preventing further harm to the child and the targeted parent.

Using children as pawns in the midst of a divorce is a cruel and inhumane act. It is important for parents to remember that children are not tools for manipulation and deceit. Instead, they should be shown love and support during this difficult time. By prioritizing their children’s well-being and working towards healing, parents can help to mitigate the negative effects of a divorce and ensure that their children grow up to be healthy and well-adjusted adults.

Winners Just do it – They Do it and Do it and Do it until the job gets done by Art Williams and Thoughts by Brian Cimins

Nike made the “Just Do It” slogan very famous with major sponsorships with Michael Jordan and other famous athletes, but the concept was around for many generations before Nike ever existed.

As an entrepreneur, you are a LEADER and self-motivator at times. If you work alone, you don’t have anyone pushing you along, setting your schedule or encouraging you or anyone to bounce ideas off of.

Successful entrepreneurs must master time management, balance their life circles between family, friends and work, and ultimately figure out to keep the flame from your burning desire burning eternally.

We all need a pick-up every once in a while – we all need a pat on the back, but as entrepreneurs, you might not get it.

Art Williams speech gets me going every week and I suggest you watch it and seek out other leaders who positively affect you. What are you watching? What are you reading? What youtube videos inspired you yesterday?

Keep pushing forward and remember to look up every once in a while to enjoy the fruits of your labor of love.

My most important role in my life is being a father, role model and leader to my two amazing children, Logan and Kaylee.

I started watching them for 15 hours a day from 7:45 AM until 10:00 PM every day. Initially it was very challenging, because I was breaking the work-at-home workaholic cycle on top of figuring out what to do to add value to their lives.

I needed to “Dad-up” and realize that I needed to not just be in the same room as the kids, but truly be PRESENT in the moment and become more lovingly interactive with them. I realized that pressing play on NetFlix and letting the kids play video games for hours while you type away on the laptop isn’t truly being present with them and they notice.

I missed so much of their life with Grapplers Quest and I decided that I wanted to become a Super Dad.

I remember seeing Jungle Gym founder, Justin Garcia giving some tips and showing fun projects from his amazing Home Schooling Program due out soon (http://MasterChim.com) and I was inspired to set out to fill my new found time with the kids with activities to engage their hearts, minds, soul and spirit.

We started doing arts and crafts, learning Spanish, comic book drawing, practicing nightly meditation, learning the solar system, playing board and card games, star gazing with telescope on clear nights, “Super Hero Training” which is basic exercises with leadership skills and several other Life Skills development programs and several other FUN activities we do together. I even reward their good behavior with Family Inclusive Video Games like Beatles Rock Band nearly every evening – I’ll write about that another blog…all in all, I’m trying to be the Best Dad I can be. I love recommendations for fun things to do – please reply with any ideas.

NOW TO THE PHOTO…

“It’s not coming off!” I exclaimed.

The Red Stained hands in the main picture belong to my beautiful 3-year-old daughter, Kaylee Paige Cimins who slammed down a “Do-A-Dot” marker, breaking the felt tip and causing Red Ink to flow out of the marker. She had been told several times to not slam them down, so when she broke it, she started crying and proceeded to wipe RED INK all over her face too while trying to wipe away tears. She ran into the bathroom where I was giving my son a bath nearly exactly how the picture shows, except she was screaming and crying.

First, I thought she was bleeding and freaked out….who wouldn’t, she was dripping fresh red ink from her hands and face. Once I realized what occurred and that the Red was just Do-A-Dot Marker stained, I tried to clean the ink off. First I tried to clean off her hands with Trader Joe’s Next to Godliness Hand Soap which didn’t remove any ink at all. Unfortunately, then I tried to clean her hands with Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps Tea Tree Oil which removed only 15-20% of the color stains. AHHHH!!! What will I do???

ENTER MY SOLUTION —- Super Body Care’s Walnut Scrub

My daughter started crying again after Dr. Bronner soap barely did anything – she asked, “Daddy, are my hands going to be red forever?”. I calmed her down and promised her I would get it out.

Finally, I grabbed Cheri Heberling’s Super Body Care Walnut Scrub and within seconds of calmly scrubbing, the color came off…completely. She loves the smell, so she allowed me to gently scrub her face (around her sensitive skin of her eyes) as well, because she had wiped her face while crying her eyes looked like a prize fighter. It easily removed her Do-A-Dot eye makeup too.

Thank you Super Body Care for helping me look like a Super Dad to Kaylee. Check out Super Body Care products at: http://SuperBodyCare.com or purchase the Walnut Scrub directly here: http://superbodycare.com/shop/#!/~/product/category=1870672&id=8057839

Daily Positive Affirmation for Kids and Parents with Brian Cimins – Every Day in Every Way, I’m Getting Better

Please enjoy another “Positive Affirmation for Kids” with Logan John Cimins, 5-year-old son of Life Coach and Grapplers Quest founder, Brian Cimins

“Every Day in Every Way, I’m Getting Better”
– Logan Cimins inspired by American Monk, Burt Goldman

This great positive affirmation is inspired by one of my mentors, Burt Goldman, aka “The American Monk”. It can be used at ANY age, especially for people who’ve been sick or with some type of long term illness.

People who consistently wait for others to ask, “How are you doing?” or “How are you feeling?”, just to launch into a 30 minute conversation about how much pain they are in or how bad something hurts or aches. Complaining and reliving an “old injury” is just magnifying the problem to you and the listening party.

Complaining doesn’t allow you to focus on your progress, however big or small, you are just wallowing in your pain. I broke my back in a martial arts competition on December 2, 2000 and was nearly paralyzed. As a martial arts event promoter, I refused to let my scary story give a black eye to the sport. I set out to completely recreate my mental frame of mind to help others deal with challenging situations, something life always seems to deliver.

Even if you are in pain, please realize EVERYONE “suffers” in their own way. By responding with a more uplifting and inspirational response, even if you are in pain when the person asks, you will quickly accelerate your own healing, even if just in your mind – at least it’s a start. Start healing in your mind first and YOUR body will follow. You must believe in this, if you really want to live pain free.

Give it a try, start today and repeat this Affirmation and Mantra every day for 30 days, “Every Day in Every Way, I’m Getting Better”.

Until next time, BE positive 🙂

With your success and happiness in mind
Your Strategy Coach,
Brian J. Cimins

How to Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind – How to Heal Your Life from the Inside Out by Brian Cimins

Many therapists and psychiatrists agree that our Subconscious mind “runs the show” for your mental and physical reality. Our thoughts, whether conscious or not, manifest themselves in our every day life. Thoughts become things. If we are thinking positively, more positive energy and things are drawn towards us. Can we re-program and remove negative thoughts from our subconscious mind? The answer is YES – I learned to do it in my sleep and through daily guided meditation with Mind Master Hypnosis Program at: http://HowToHealYourLife.com

If you are constantly calling yourself names every time you make a mistake, even just with thoughts, like if you drop something and simply say to yourself, “I’m such an idiot” – your subconscious mind believes that about yourself, which isn’t fair, nice or accurate. If someone else called you an “Idiot” or another bad word, you’d be super mad and NEVER tolerate that right? From this point forward, don’t speak another negative word to yourself about yourself, for the rest of the world will say enough negative things about you, whether they know you or not. You can learn to reprogram your subconscious mind by guided meditation and advanced level hypnosis while you sleep – treat yourself like you are your best friend.

Master Your Mind and You Master Your Life!

You must do the thing you think you cannot do--Eleanor Roosevelt - Thoughts by Brian Cimins

You must do the thing you think you cannot do–Eleanor Roosevelt

Our ultimate challenge or QUEST in life is the challenge and conquer our fears and come to the ultimate realization how powerful we truly are. Living in fear or displaying anger, jealously or resentment or with a guilty conscious (or subsconscious) is not living your life to it’s fullest potential. Living in a horrible relationship for fear of “facing the world with failure of divorce” is much worse than the actual work it takes to fix and face the REAL issues. Many actions, like infidelity or secretive relationships are symptoms of a super unhealthy relationship, to the core. Doing the right thing when no one is looking is one thing everyone should aspire to attain. When you live in freedom from only doing good things and live a “cleaner life” and true to the ones you love, you are “enlightened” simply because nothing is weighing you down or holding you back, especially within the subsconscious mind.

Avoid Scam Artist Life Coaches with SEVEN Important Questions Every Life Coach or Business Consultant Should Confidently Answer by Brian Cimins

 

Times are tough and people’s moral compasses are starting to change for the worse.  Evil is rising as the financial challenges increase and we need to be more aware then ever of people taking advantage of others.  You can protect yourself from scam artist business consultants altogether with SIX important questions for any potential future Life Coach or Business Expert.

1. Have you ever built a successful business yourself from the ground up? 

2. What’s it’s full legal name and is it still around?

3. Have you ever helped build one (or more) of your client’s businesses from the ground up? 

4. Who are some of your other past and current clients? 

5. Can I have some of your client’s phone numbers and contact information for follow-up interview? 

6. Do you have video testimonials?

7. Have you received certification from a Life Coach Association? If so, which one and could I see a copy of your Certificate and get the contact phone number of the Association for a recommendation?

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS: I’ve met a lot of coaches in my life who professed religion or just read “The Secret” for the first time as a mask to hide their true evil identity as fake Business Coaches, people that had never truly made it in the real world on their own.  They preyed on people’s faith in humanity while falsely professing to a prophet or a skill set they were not properly prepared for.  They would falsely build “integrity” while hiding their true inferiority on the entrepreneurial level or be afraid to speak about their past “failures”. Sometimes, I think clients should ask, “Why are you a LIFE COACH?”.

We want to be mentally prepared for those who will “fish for sales and leads” by riding the coat tails of other successful people riding successful trending industries like Mixed Martial Arts and strategically picking off their hopefuls one by one.  Sad stories about business scams and investment fraud nearly ruined the whole Life Coaching and Business Consultant industry, but the Bullshit can stop right here. If YOU Ask a potential LIFE COACH those six questions, it separates the Bullshitters from the people who will really help you or even have the right skill set and visionary ability to help your business grow and help heal your life, if necessary.

Beware of people professing to be experts in everything, they are usually Masters of Nothing. 

I am YOUR Wounded Warrior and I’d never let a client down.  I donate my time to raise money for Autism and help businesses grow, relationships heal and lives improve. Find out more information online at: http://CoachingForAutism.org

“Hey Devil, Come on back if you ever want to try again – I told you once, you son of a bitch, I’m the BEST that’s ever been”.

If a potential Life Coach or Business Consultant can’t easily answer the questions above – tell them to “Go back to Hell”. I’ve seen too many of my friends “BURNED” by evil doers and vowed to make it a mission of mine to help enable more business owners and entrepreneurs to avoid the pitfalls of hiring a Life Coach or Business Consultant.

Artist: Charlie Daniels
Song: Devil Went Down to Georgia 
Album: A Decade of Hits

Charlie Daniels Sheet Music
Charlie Daniels CDs

The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind ‘cos he was way behind and he was willin’ to make a deal.
When he came across this young man sawin’ on a fiddle and playin’ it hot.
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: “Boy let me tell you what:
“I guess you didn’t know it, but I’m a fiddle player too.
“And if you’d care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you.
“Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:
“I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, ‘cos I think I’m better than you.”
The boy said: “My name’s Johnny and it might be a sin,
“But I’ll take your bet, your gonna regret, ‘cos I’m the best that’s ever been.”

Johnny you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
‘Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards.
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.

The devil opened up his case and he said: “I’ll start this show.”
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
When the devil finished, Johnny said: “Well you’re pretty good ol’ son.
“But sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done.”

Fire on the mountain, run boys, run.
The devil’s in the house of the risin’ sun.
Chicken in the bread pan, pickin’ out dough.
“Granny, does your dog bite?”
“No, child, no.”

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he’d been beat.
He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny’s feet.
Johnny said: “Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again.
“cause I told you once, you son of a gun, I’m the best there’s ever been.”

And he played fire on the mountain, run boys, run.
The devil’s in the house of the risin’ sun.
Chicken in the bread pan, now they’re pickin’ out dough.
“Granny, will your dog bite?”
“No, child, no.”
