I often refer to depression as the emotional flu and thus I'd do what I'd do if I got the flu. I would make sure that I'm taking care of myself by getting enough sleep, Vitamin C, exercise, socialization, and good nutrition. I would do those things and beyond that, I would just let the depression take its course until it goes away. I don't turn my depression into deep, existential questioning." - Eric Zimmer     Curiosity Is A Key Human Trait “Curiosity is one of the key traits that unlocks so many of the things that most of us would say is worth having in life. Whether that be awakening, awe, fascination, or wonder. It is also a remarkably good tool to lessen or emotional pain. The more curious we can become about emotional pain, the better able we are to take a step away from it and look at it in broader and new ways.” - Eric Zimmer   Suffering Equals Pain Times Resistance "Resistance isn't helpful. I often quote this on my podcast, 'Suffering equals pain times resistance.' So, if I know that depression is my pain, the more I resist it and tell myself that it shouldn't be this way, the more I suffer. When I can sort of let it just be what it is, it's not that the pain isn't there, it's just that I don't make it worse. Sometimes the best thing we can do in certain situations is to not make it worse by waiting until the moment passes and engaging with it at a different time."  - Eric Zimmer       Links From Today's Show Cured Nutrition Leave Wellness Force a review WFR 300 Special Edition: Top Lessons Learned From 300+ Shows 086 Mark Divine Dr. Gabor Mate BJ Fogg Nir Eyal Charles Duhigg 206 Dan Pardi Hal Elrod 275 Paul Chek  James Clear 285 Luke Storey  Carl Jung Lao Tzu Adyashanti 319 Dr. Jud Brewer David Christian Eric Tivers 317 Lauren Zander M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community The One You Feed Podcast Eric Zimmer Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn   About Eric Zimmer A behavior coach, podcast host, and author, Eric Zimmer is endlessly inspired by the quest for a greater understanding of how our minds work and how to intentionally create the lives we want to live.

Curiosity May Be Key to Concentrating Eat Right Now app To Quit app for quitting smoking 288 Greg Woodhill 137 Dr. Tim Brown 201 Micheal Gervais Beginning steps for greater mindfulness that we can follow today. The Wellness Force M21 Guide Power Quotes From The Show Our Relationship With Food In 3 Basic Elements "We can narrow down our relationship with food to three basic elements: a trigger, a behavior, and a reward. The process of those three combined elements is set up to help us survive from a nutrients standpoint. What we have to stand from a modern standpoint, is why our brains are still set on survival mode when we have a fridge full of food." - Dr. Jud Brewer The Power Of Mindful Eating "Our Eat Right Now app program really teaches people step by step how to be more mindful with food. The first step is to just go ahead and eat but that really freaks out a lot of people because they've had these "food rules" forever and they feel like they're going to go to "food jail" if they don't follow them. So, we tell them to just trust themselves and follow the natural law rather than their own rules. At first, they're worried that they'll just keep eating without any self-control but when they pay attention to what they eat, discover what the reward from eating feels like, and think about why they're eating, it helps them work through their old habits and cravings." - Dr. Jud Brewer   Dialing In For Greater Emotional and Physical Intelligence   "Intelligence has a lot to do with dialing in and sensing these little feelings of contractions vs. expansions that emotions such as fear, joy, and curiosity create. If we can be intelligent around those pieces of subtle sensations that we experience, it's going to help us change bad habits, support the habits that are helpful, and foster greater kindness, connection, compassion, and mindfulness. This can all happen simply by bringing awareness to how painful the contracted emotions feel compared to how the non-painful, rewarding, pleasant ones feel. Knowing our psychophysical being, seeing these elements, and being able to link them up both with mental and physical behaviors will make us tremendously intelligent." - Dr. Jud Brewer Links From Today's Show Mindfulness Center at Brown University The Craving Mind by Dr. Jud Brewer  Judson Brewer: A simple way to break a bad habit | TED Talk Dr. Jud and MindSciences' App-based Behavior Change Programs Wellness Force Media's new mission for 2020 Gabor Mate Vipassana Meditation – A Spartan Race For The Mind Eat Right Now app LIFEAID CBD Unwinding Your Anxiety app Why Is It So Hard to Pay Attention?

What has changed in Lauren's world since Josh interviewed her in October 2018 for episode 248. 248 Lauren Handel Zander Maybe It's You by Lauren Handel Zander The exercises she leads people through to help them purge everything they've been subjected to in their lives. Lauren's group activity with friends to help them stay accountable for the promises and goals they have set for themselves throughout the year. (8:40)   10:20 Loving Our Lives By Facing The Fear The importance of working with people who you can put your whole trust in each gathering. How our realities are created by everything we say and everything we think. (12:00) Common narratives that we create around money and how we can end them. The importance of looking at our parents, siblings, and grandparents' own stories to learn more about how we feel about money. 311 Mark Wolynn Why so many of our thoughts and beliefs aren't even our own but those that were passed onto us from previous generations. The negative side of white-knuckling because of fear instead of relaxing and allowing the change to flow. (17:50) How to change how you talk to yourself and making that a positive practice every day.   22:00 What Your Shame Spirals Are Teaching You How the human mind is wired to feel guilty and justify every broken promise we have made to ourselves like not getting up to go work out just so we feel better about ourselves. Why creating the stories, drama, and feeling guilty about yourself isn't going to create any good change for your life. How our constant shame spirals are "proving" what is wrong with us and what we can learn from them. Byron Katie How adding the consequence of "pay the bill and do the deed" to your personal development strategy can help push you that much more to stay loyal to your goals. (27:30) The four questions you should ask yourself when you're faced up against a fake story about yourself including, "Is it true?" Why we get caught up in surges of looped drama because we're wired to become addicted to how it makes us, in a sense, feel alive. (29:00) The fact that over 80% of our thoughts are negative and actually looping from the day before. Organifi Red   32:00 How To Rewire Your Self-Talk & Effective Couple Communication Skills The importance of rewiring how and what you say to yourself on a daily basis. How she teaches people to develop a new language for their dreams and a new self-dialogue. Why keeping secrets to ourselves instead of airing them out is literally the act of keeping them alive. The fact that just hearing someone out and saying that you "understand" them actually means nothing for the relationship. Why you have to understand that sharing your truth won't actually make another person do anything. (39:45) Her work with couples to help them understand that in an argument, no one is right, no one is wrong, and you don't even have to agree; you just have to understand where they're coming from. How to know that it's time to call it quits and end your relationship. (42:30) Dr. Mark Hyman   47:30 Making Decisions Based On Love Or Fear; No Story Attached The difference between coming from a higher place of love and a lower place of fear. Our three different integrities explained: spiritual, emotional, and physical. What personal integrity means and how it can only be obtained when we are in alignment with ourselves. (51:00) The 12 areas of personal integrity that we have to focus on and not just one like the career area. Why it's so important to create 12 new dreams every year for each area of your life. How to let our dark side be free and expressed rather than shamed. Who Inner.U is for and how you can benefit from it by working with Lauren and her team. What wellness means to her now in 2019 compared to last year in episode 248. M21 Guide   Power Quotes From The Show   Feelings Have A Magnetic Force "You are thinking, doing, and feeling all at the same time but the feeling is the result of the other two. It's the one that comes from your thoughts or your actions. So, you change your action, you will think and feel differently. You change your thought, you will act and feel differently. The feeling is the main magnetic force." - Lauren Handel Zander     The Definition Of Personal Integrity "When your dreams, your vision for yourself, your actions, and how you feel are all aligned, that is personal integrity." - Lauren Handel Zander     Changing Your Inner Dialogue By Taking Action "Whatever you want has the actions that correlate to it. If you want to learn French, you have to study it and then probably go practice it. There's nothing under the sun that many of us can't figure out how to get to an A at and there's no shaming required to admit that you want to get an A at something. However, there is really getting over yourself and believing in yourself and all of that comes from how you talk to yourself." - Lauren Handel Zander   Links From Today's Show Inner.U Coach The Handel Group Current Reality Quiz 248 Lauren Handel Zander Maybe It's You by Lauren Handel Zander 311 Mark Wolynn Byron Katie Organifi Red Dr. Mark Hyman M21 Guide A Little Magic Goes a Long Way Lauren Handel Zander Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Handel Group Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn   About Lauren Handel Zander Lauren, the Co-Founder and Chairwoman of Handel Group®, has spent over 20 years coaching thousands of private clients: entrepreneurs, couples, families, professors, politicians, Emmy, Peabody and Academy Award-winning artists, Grammy-winning musicians, and Fortune 500 CEOs.

So, often when I'm telling people what their design is, it's not something that they don't know already but they've never had a language before to actually express it. Human Design gives people a framework and a structure of how they operate and to communicate about it. You can imagine how helpful that is in teams and partnerships when you know exactly when that's happening. When there are friction and conflict, you now have something to reference back to and understand what is happening." - Erin Claire Jones   Getting Out Of Our Heads & Into Our Bodies   "So much of Human Design is basically getting ourselves out of our heads and into our bodies because our minds are so powerful but often not reliable in terms of making decisions.

(1:07:00) His idea that our lives are playing out here now but also on many different channels in other dimensions. Our roles as masters and students in our own reality. (1:08:30) Why our life lessons and various experiences, good or bad, are teaching us every day to become the next best version of ourselves. (1:10:30) 1:12:00 Narcissism & Spiritual Bypassing Explanation of the Jesus Complex when people tap into this truth that they are the one due to spiritual bypassing and they're forgetting that so is everyone else. How narcissism blocks us from observing and loving the imperfections because we're so focused on perfectionism. Social media's constant feed to the narcissism collective and the awareness we get to have of its darkness. The deep wounds and incredible experiences that are being created at the same time and our quest for why they happen. (1:11:30) 1:19:40 Life Is Happening For You, Not To You Why everything that happens to us is happening for love and that everything is going to be okay. How society has been built up to glorify war and all of this loss that people are willing to or have to suffer. The loss we all go through and that feeling of sadness that allows us to connect with other people. (1:17:00) Inside Out trailer Why the sense of community is now more powerful than ever with abject poverty, war, and climate change. What incredible change can happen when we all commit to mindfulness and supporting each other. Why the more you know, the more you realize you don't actually know. (1:19:00) Dr. Erica Middlemiss Dr. Joe Dispenza The M21 Wellness Guide Positive Head Podcast #271: Cory Allen Power Quotes From The Show Observing Thoughts & Emotions In A Healthy Manner "Understand that there will be peaks and valleys throughout your lifetime; you just can't have one without the other. When you know that you're in a valley, then you can navigate it in a way that's the most effective as opposed to getting lost in the darkness. Give your thoughts and emotions their space, observe them, allow them to pass by, and do whatever you can to just gently find your way out of it but never by forcing, masking, or holding them down." - Brandon Beachum The Positive Side Of Relationships Ending "All relationships have the purpose of growth and the idea that one has to last forever in order to be successful is a big misconception that permeates our collective consciousness. You are going to come together with different energies for all of eternity and thank goodness there is some shelf-life to all of them. Whether you spend a whole lifetime together or 5 weeks or 5 days, that separation gives us the opportunity to miss the relationship and have gratitude for it. You never truly lose anyone or anything. Honor that relationship, know that you are infinitely abundant and the universe will send whatever else you need." - Brandon Beachum Experiencing Life Fully Through Love, Wonder, And Pain "God is using all of these 'painful experiences' for love in the end. Wholeheartedly, we will or already have experienced every type of love, wonder, or pain in our lifetimes. That's the game, I believe, that our soul signed up for; it signed up to go down the deep rabbit hole of contrast so that it could fully appreciate who and what we are in this life. Understanding that helps us realize that it's all going to be okay in the end. We are not victims because everything that we experience is not happening to us but for us. Life is not happening to you, it is always, always, and always happening for you."- Brandon Beachum Links From Today's Show LIFEAID CBD 303 Aaron Hinde The Celestine Prophecy: An Adventure by James Redfield Buckminster Fuller 096 Daniel Schmachtenberger Alan Watts 032 Gay and Katie Hendricks  Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife by Dr. Eben Alexander III Whatever Arises, Love That: A Love Revolution That Begins with You by Matt Kahn Michael Beckwith Life is NOT a Journey - Alan Watts Interstellar trailer Inside Out trailer Dr. Erica Middlemiss Dr. Joe Dispenza The M21 Wellness Guide Positive Head Podcast #271: Cory Allen Mystic Manor Optimystic Instagram Positive Head podcast Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Brandon Beachum Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn About Brandon Beachum Brandon Beachum is a podcaster, entrepreneur, writer, musician, philosopher, and truth-seeker. He originally made his way to California from the east coast when his former band received a development deal with Elektra Records back in 2001. Brandon has been a serial entrepreneur since childhood and in 2010, while living on a friend’s couch, he founded what is now his first recognizably successful company, ResortShare. In August of 2015, ResortShare was named the 569th fastest-growing private company in America in the annual Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list. In October 2015 ResortShare received an offer to be bought out for $30 million dollars by a publicly-traded company, but within 12 hours of receiving the offer, they lost 90% of their revenue stream due to an exclusive arrangement a major partner (Booking.com) signed with a much larger competitor. Brandon learned some great life lessons through this hardship and throughout his experience at ResortShare and is now focusing on various other projects. (Positive Head, HelloVacay.com, Sesh.io) The Ultimate Nature Of Reality Since discussing and continually exploring what he refers to as “The Ultimate Nature of Reality” is something he feels called very strongly to do, he decided that launching a podcast would be the best avenue to pursue his calling and to help bring that increasingly popular topic of conversation to a broader audience. So in May 2015, he launched PositiveHead.com and The Positive Head Podcast. The show’s aim is to help listeners consistently maintain elevated vibration. In an effort to help the listeners achieve that aim, every Wednesday he interviews a different author, director, artist, blogger, scientist, entrepreneur or other notable personality who is out there making a positive impact on the world. He has been extremely fortunate to have the privilege to interview some amazing and highly-respected guests in the very first year of his show (i.e. Dr. Eben Alexander, Marian Goodell, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Nassim Haramein). Brandon's Dedication To Better Wellness On the other weekdays, Brandon and his co-host Dalien give interpretations of their favorite quotes, share a bit of mind-expanding or mysterious news, take questions from the audience, and dig into any other mind-expansive topics that they feel will help keep the listeners’ souls fed on a regular basis. The Positive Head Podcast has continued to experience exponential growth and was featured in the “New & Noteworthy” section on iTunes within weeks of being launched, and is currently listed in the “What’s Hot” section on iTunes in multiple categories. Brandon is also currently in the process of writing his first two books, The Fountain of You: How the marriage of science and spirituality is birthing us into the age of timelessness and The Talk: A wakeup call for those ready to re-member.

M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show What Fuels Troy's Soul "I stopped caring about what other people think and started focusing on what feeds my soul. What feeds my soul is being as naked as possible in the sun, being as barefoot and grounded with the earth as much as possible, and moving my body most of the day. My fuel is organic food, good water, and damn good sleep. I need to get my mind right if I'm using Wi-Fi and electricity is all around me. I need to be balanced in this world and so I put all of those elements first otherwise the worst part of me comes out. This is not only about balance, but self-medication through our natural environment." - Troy Casey Letting Our Primal Selves Shine "Every single person has that wild animal inside of them and they want to let it out whether that's through intimacy or letting themselves grow a beard. Everyone just wants to let themselves be free, hang out, and be themselves." - Troy Casey   The Power Of Forgiveness "All is forgiven. Period. Forever. If I forget that, remind me. I used to be an angry guy so if someone shows that side of themselves to me, I remember that and forgive them. Even if things don't work out in business or relationships, things are still forgiven." - Troy Casey   Links From Today's Show Cured Nutrition C.H.E.K Institute Bulletproof Conference Leave Wellness Force a review  Scott Peterson of Refugio Altiplano City Slickers trailer Leonard Orr rebirthing practices 311 Mark Wolynn 275 Paul Chek David Deida Tony Robbins Rev Michael Beckwith  Kim Stanwood Terranova Breath As Prayer | Gwen Payne Erin Claire Jones M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Troy Casey Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Certified Health Nut Facebook YouTube About Troy Casey Leading Longevity Authority, Troy Casey, Certified Health Nut, has successfully restored physical, mental and emotional balance to clients who have failed with all other systems.

Because really what you what don't know about is fear, doubt, worry, or programming. In comparison, the abundant thinker will say, 'Well, I don't know what I don't know but I know enough and it feels right and I'm just going to do it. If it doesn't work out, that's okay.' Trusting that is really the key to purpose; it's about letting go of thinking that you have it all figured out and that it has to be perfect or it has to be right. That's the programming." - Brett Kaufman   Reframing The Mind For Love   "If I just knew then what I know now about being a parent, a husband, and an entrepreneur, I wish I would have really just focused on love as the most elevated, most important key ingredient in life. That means you love your kids, your wife, yourself, and just all of it with no exception. When you make love the most important factor in your life, it shifts you into this profound, embodiment way of being. When you focus on love, you can enter into a deep mindset so that when you're in a difficult situation, you can reframe what is happening." - Brett Kaufman       A Life Of Fulfillment Through Service To Others   "When it comes to finding your purpose, what you're really after is this life of fulfillment. Service to other people and this world is actually a really important part of that self-fulfillment factor. Giving and serving others is what the world needs. We need more people, organizations, and companies both for-profit and not that are aiming at trying to make a difference in the world." - Brett Kaufman   Links From Today's Show M21 Guide Crate Media 275 Paul Chek 289 Mike Koenigs 129 Gretchen Rubin 183 Dr. Kyra Bobinet Organifi Leave Wellness Force a review Christopher Celeste This New Wellness Community Was Built With Mental Health In Mind Landmark Forum 250 Dave Asprey Upgrade Labs Cured Nutrition Oura ring 110 Bedros Keuilian Lessons from the Successes of Steve Jobs: Focus, Focus Focus Dan Sullivan Strategic Coach 137 Dr. Tim Brown Can Our Environment Dictate Our Mental Health?

The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly Click here to get your copy of The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly A New York Times Bestseller from one of our leading technology thinkers and writers, a guide through the twelve technological imperatives that will shape the next thirty years and transform our lives. Much of what will happen in the next thirty years is inevitable, driven by technological trends that are already in motion. In this fascinating, provocative new book, Kevin Kelly provides an optimistic road map for the future, showing how the coming changes in our lives—from virtual reality in the home to an on-demand economy to artificial intelligence embedded in everything we manufacture—can be understood as the result of a few long-term, accelerating forces. Kelly both describes these deep trends—interacting, cognifying, flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing, tracking, and questioning—and demonstrates how they overlap and are codependent on one another. The 12 Technological Forces These larger forces will completely revolutionize the way we buy, work, learn, and communicate with each other. By understanding and embracing them, says Kelly, it will be easier for us to remain on top of the coming wave of changes and to arrange our day-to-day relationships with technology in ways that bring forth maximum benefits. Kelly’s bright, hopeful book will be indispensable to anyone who seeks guidance on where their business, industry, or life is heading—what to invent, where to work, in what to invest, how to better reach customers, and what to begin to put into place—as this new world emerges.   Listen To Episode 312 As Kevin Kelly Uncovers: 1:30 The Future Of Humanity And AI WIRED magazine Cool Tools podcast The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly Cool Tools website Kevin Kelly The Technium M21 Organifi Kevin's background before he launched WIRED and what inspires his work today.

Why inventors like Thomas Edison didn't even know what use their inventions would be for us and their impact on society. The fact that it can take as long as up to a generation for us to fully decide what use a piece of technology is to the world.

Why we should aim to improve and revamp technology as soon as we find a problem instead of completely dismissing it and seeing it as something bad. His belief that we cannot make a world in the future until we visualize it and all its technological improvements first now in the present. The power of solving old problems with new technology in order to move forward. (48:00) Power Quotes From The Show Our Small Contribution To The Universe   "The difference between living systems and artificial systems are very small. When we're inventing new technology, even if they're consumables that will be thrown away, we are participating in a very long arc through the universe of these increasing choices and possibilities; the same thing that evolution and life are doing. So, we're part of something bigger when we make and invent things. Technology is a big thing; it has a spiritual dimension."  - Kevin Kelly   When To Embrace Or Let Go Of Technology "The only way to understand how technology is used for the greater good and find out what its bad parts are is through the use of it. That's why I preach this embrace of technology but we should also be quick to let it go or change it as we see fit. This stance of initial embracing technology and then reworking, adjusting, and revamping it is the pattern we're going to have forever. Instead of immediately rejecting technology, let's bring it on and see what it's actually good for in the world."  - Kevin Kelly   We Are The Creators & The Created "There is a fundamental contradiction and tension between the fact that we individual humans are both The Masters of what we create and The Created at the same time. So, as we make the tools, the tools make us. We are both the parent and the child of technology. Even in a thousand years, we will still be struggling with the fact that we are two-faced; we are both the master and slave to technology."  - Kevin Kelly   Links From Today's Show The Technium M21 Organifi 275 Paul Chek Wired Interviews Bill Gates 1996 The Origins of Cool Tools: Kevin Kelly in Conversation with Stewart Brand The Technium And The 7Th Kingdom Of Life 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape The Future Cool Tools podcast  WIRED magazine Cool Tools website The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly Kevin Kelly Facebook Twitter YouTube   About Kevin Kelly Kevin Kelly is Senior Maverick at Wired magazine.
