The Rocco Effect (Extra) - My thoughts on Bullying

If someone is doing something a lot we call it a habit. If bully's, bully almost daily, they have a bad habit.

Habits continue because we feel a boost in happiness afterward. Chances are they feel a small boost from the victims reaction.

In order to stop the bullying, stop that boost. A punch to the face produces the opposite boost from what they where after. Making them look foolish gives the opposite effect.

But treating them with kindness. That's neutral or positive. As a result they're much more likely to continue.

Stop the habit by giving them bad outcomes.

Do you agree?

Are there other ways you would deal with bullying?

To see this for yourself watch the 'selective attention test' on Youtube. Since focus is directly linked to our reality, does it make any sense to focus on the negative? Of course not. It makes sense to focus on solutions you can take to make things better, but that's a positive, don't confuse the two. Should a negative thought creep into your head tell it with as much passion an emotion as you can to 'F**k Off!' and replace it with the exact opposite or a solution. e.g 'I suck, no one will ever love me' changes to 'I'm awesome. Everyone loves me' (both are untrue, but one leads to a much better outcome.), What we focus on will become our reality, stop focusing on being a loser and start focusing on being the hero you where born to be Comic Video Reading Task For the next ...

The Rocco Effect - Values

It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are. ― Roy Disney Values are the reason why somethings make us happy and others make us sad. If you value the truth, even a white lie, in the hopes to make you feel better, would hurt you. If you value family, only for them to pick friends over you, that would hurt. Often we feel this way, without knowing why and this leads to a lot of stress and questioning ourselves. Once you know your values, knowing what choice to make is a lot easier. You choose whatever choice is closest to your highest values. Even in failure, you can rest happy, knowing that you made the right choice. Comic Video Reading Task 1.
