In this solo coaching video, Dr. Shiny Unsal (presented as DR SHINY UNSAL AI) introduces four practical strategies to recognize and overcome the habitual excuses that block personal growth. She begins with a Neuroshine Technology formula—change equals awareness multiplied by willingness—emphasizing that without awareness, willingness alone cannot produce change. The first strategy is to become aware of recurring excuse patterns by tracking the language (“I don’t have time/money”) and reminding oneself that resources can be mobilized when something truly matters. The second strategy focuses on the energy behind words, urging viewers to sense the emotional charge of an excuse to determine whether it is a genuine limitation or an unconscious belief. The third strategy teaches “assumption‑busting” skills: identifying hidden assumptions and formulating powerful questions to dismantle them. The final strategy is to set challenges and use accountability partners, turning identified excuses into actionable goals and new habits. The video closes with typical YouTube calls to like, share, and subscribe, framing the content as part of a broader mission to create a more loving, “shiny” world.

How not to get caught up with the common excuses. Combines the power of the mind with the wisdom of your heart, and it just helps you to unlock your potential. Hey everyone, welcome to my Shiny Minds Show. Hello everyone, my name is Shiny Unsal. I am the proud creator of Neuroshine Technology, the Shiny Minds Show, and your Neuroshine coach. Today I would love to talk to you about The common excuses and how you can prevent them to get into you. You know how you hear people talking about excuses and how they complain and how they can put the blame on someone, something, or they cannot find a way to go through them, like bust through them, and you sometimes are affected by them. And sometimes that is you who is complaining and who is coming up with these excuses. And sometimes you are the one affecting yourself. So for that reason, I wanted to talk to you about some great ideas so that you know how to catch those excuses and how you can navigate with them. Ready? Let's go. So I have 4 ideas and this is the first one. First, you need to become aware of those common excuses. You need to look for patterns. If it is you or if it is someone else, you need to become aware. That's the first step. You know, I have this formula with my Neuroshine technology: change equals awareness multiplied by willingness. And if you're not aware of what is going on to begin with, then you won't be able to do anything, even if you're so willing to create the change, right? So first, look at the patterns. What are the common excuses that keep coming up, that keep showing up again and again, over and over again, that block you from creating the change you want? When you have an excuse, I don't have the time, I don't have the money, because those are the two most common excuses, you will need to remember and remind yourself that you do have the time and money when something becomes really important, right? If it is very important, like life or death situation, would you be able to have the resources to create the time and money? Yes, you would indeed. So then become aware and catch yourself when you talk about those excuses. That's number 1. Number 2, focus on the energy behind the words. You know, sometimes words say a lot and they create the meaning of our life and they dictate the reality, and still yet they're not everything. As a matter of fact, if you really focus on the energy behind the words, you're going to understand what is really happening, because everybody processes information differently and everybody gets the word and processes it and saves it in their mental world in such a totally different way. And when you look at how people own their energy, how they own the excuse, the energy behind the excuse, then you will understand that maybe, maybe it has become an unconscious pattern for them. And maybe it's not an excuse. It is really their truth. You know, sometimes it happens, you know, life, you know, throws lemons at you and sometimes you really understand and accept the reality. Arguing with reality is not the best strategy. And that's why if you want to understand if it is a real excuse or not, even for yourself, focus on your energy. How do I feel right now? Why do I feel this way? And start from there. Number 3, you gotta develop your assumption busting skills. What are they? Your assumption busting skills are your questioning skills. You know, in my Neuroshine Technology coaching, I created this model of assumption busting. When you're able to see the assumptions, the excuses, and when you're able to formulate powerful questions around them, You can bust through those excuses, bust through those assumptions, and they cannot get you anymore. So you won't be caught up by them and you won't be really like taken away or definitely like thrown away by these excuses. You are going to be on top of them. And last but not least, the fourth idea is challenge. Challenge yourself or the other person wherever the excuse is coming from. If the excuse is coming from you, set yourself a challenge. All right, now that I have this excuse, now that I'm aware of this pattern, and now that I have this awareness and willingness, what I am going to do is I am going to challenge myself to bust it and to create a new habit. When you have that challenge, when you accept that, make sure you do have an accountability partner who is going to hold you accountable to really go after that challenge and make that happen. If you are challenging someone else, you are going to be the accountability partner. And that way together, you're going to get rid of all these excuses and create more effective and empowering beliefs. So I hope this video served you. I hope you liked it.
