 Learned Hopelessness

By Dr. Ben Lerner

In my first two years in undergrad, as I was headed towards a medical degree, I took a whole lot of psychology classes. I assumed most problems with getting people well would revolve around mindsets and emotions.  (It turned out that I was right.)

In many of my classes, we had to review some horrible animal studies - studies that would surely be shut down if PETA found out about them. Several of these studies involved putting food and/or freedom in front of an animal. When the animal would move toward the food or toward freedom, it would receive a nasty jolt of electricity. With enough shocks and time, that animal no longer attempted to either meet its needs or pursue freedom. It gave up; overwhelmed, over-stressed, and permanently deterred by pain of the shock.

 If you have any goals at all, especially big ones, you're going to run into challenges, conflict, opposition, resistance, failure, rejection, and struggle... Stress.  In other words, you'll likely get "shocked" any time you go for anything worth having. Suffer enough shocks, enough "stress", and unfortunately, eventually you'll believe you can't or that it's not worth it.  Over time, you learn hopelessness.

Stress creates a measurable effect on your ability to remember, learn, function, and hope. The more intense the stress, the greater the damage.  In war time, battlefront situations can create enough stress in short period of time to brainwash someone into hopelessness. That is an obvious example where anyone would expect that result. It's more insidious than that for the typical person in that it happens more gradually and almost unconsciously. Daily stresses, over time, can brainwash anyone into hopelessness and despair; brainwash them into being a limited person. 

The saddest story ever told is what "Might've been;" the life we could have lived if we hadn't let the "shocks" or the stress deter us. When we are brainwashed, we believe the lie of hopelessness that our problems, our "shocks," are quitting points that can't be overcome. In reality, the problems we face are not stop signs, but guide posts on the path of life, learning, and success.

How this looks today, from a health care perspective, is that people succumb to hopelessness and give up when it comes to their mental and physical wellness, not believing that they can not only heal, but experience greatness.  This quitting looks like only 13% of Americans exercising, 60% of Americans overweight, 30% morbidly obese, and medicating our hopelessness with anti-depressants to the tune of 1 in 3 Americans.  In fact, an article in the British Medical Journal documented this.  They reported that the more medical/’healthcare’ there was in a given society, the more that society CONSIDERED itself to be sick.  Not WAS sick, they just CONSIDERED themselves to be - Learned hopelessness.  A crime against humanity.  Outside of health care, learned hopelessness is at the core and very much responsible for the job and economic crisis.

Learned hopelessness makes it so most people don't believe in their dreams, and worse, don't know that they don't believe in their dreams anymore. They wouldn't recognize their dreams, by this point, if they came and kissed them in the face.  Which is, in fact, what their dreams are doing.

Let us help you turn what "might've been" into what will be and we will change this world, for you and for everyone else.

Continue to spread the word, bring others to events and talks.  Tell the truth, unfiltered.  If we don’t, who will?

Cardiovascular exercise is a vital component to healthy living.  In fact, many health practitioners believe that cardiovascular exercise is the most important component to any healthy living regimen.  Although it is undoubtedly extremely important, too many people neglect to incorporate it into their way of life.  One of the most common reasons for avoiding cardiovascular exercise is that people simply do not enjoy it.  Maximized Living Doctor Paul Price provides a couple of suggestions which might make cardiovascular exercise more enjoyable for you.

It seems that the most common way for people to get cardiovascular exercise is from running on a treadmill.  The fact that you could run on a treadmill for hours and never have a change of scenery provides a pretty good explanation for why people tend not to enjoy this type of a workout.  As such, if you are determined to run on a treadmill, the first thing you can try to liven things up is provide another source of stimulation to motivate you.  This can come in from a variety of sources:  a music player, television or a good book can all help to pass the time.

Perhaps even better than trying to make the treadmill more exciting is switching to something that is naturally more appealing to your specific tastes.  You can try switching to another stationary machine such as an elliptical trainer or bike, but these have the same problem in that they tend to get dull.  For more natural stimulation try something outdoors.  There is no shortage of things to do for outdoor exercise.  Running is perhaps the most obvious, but if running is not your thing try hiking, swimming, biking or even something as simple as yard work.

Maximized Living Doctor Paul Price stresses that cardiovascular exercise is critical to healthy living.  Find a way to incorporate it into your life.
