Do you consider yourself an intelligent person? What about an emotionally intelligent person? Your answer to the first question better be, "Yes!" (you're reading this empowering information aren't you... sheesh). Your answer to the second question better be a stronger, "Yes!" or at least, "I'm definitely working on it." What is emotional intelligence, and why is it important? Emotional intelligence encompasses so much that it's impossible to drill it down into a simple meaning. Rather, I'll share with you two of the most profound components of it. Emotional intelligence is being able to feel how you want, when you want, and to guide your own behavior accordingly (that's part one). Emotional intelligence is being able to monitor other people's emotions, and to utilize that emotional data to influence and navigate relationships (that's part two, and it's definitely in the secret sauce). We are often indoctrinated with the belief that the environment will dictate how we feel. We live in constant reaction mode because no one has ever sat us down to train us on developing our emotional software. Our guest today says that, "Your beliefs influence your actions which influence your results." It's your beliefs that are at the core of this thing, and it's up to you to learn how to change them. Our guest today is Jordan Harbinger from The Art Of Charm. He's one of the leaders in the field of emotional intelligence, and even more so he's a leader in teaching its practical application. Today you're going to learn how to start to wire yourself for greater confidence, more happiness, and greater success by upgrading your emotional software. In this episode you'll discover: What really determines your "outer world" actions. Why we need to develop emotional intelligence in our relationships and in our work. Why most people think that attractive personality traits are natural (when they're actually learned). How being good with people can fast track you in your health, relationships, and career. Why boosting your attraction is more of a subtractive process than an additive process. How going through the situation you're afraid of (in practice) can help you overcome it. The truth about your "inner dialogue". Why your first impression isn't always made when you want to make it (this is crucial!) A powerful drill you can do to habitually boost your confidence. How to improve your eye contact to establish better rapport (this is deeper than you think!) What the most influential factor in your health, well-being, and success in life really is. What emotional intelligence is and how it can play out in your life. Why habits are far more important than results. How mirror neurons in our brain influence our emotional intelligence. Why consciously using acknowledgement can help anchor in desired habits. A game-changing practice you can apply today to be more of an emotionally intelligent person.

Everyday the vast majority of your body's energy is used to digest, assimilate, and eliminate the resources you consume. The resources I'm speaking of are the foods you eat, the liquids you drink, and the air that you breathe. Today, we only experience a fraction of our body's true potential energy. So much of our energy is being tied up in digesting food that our bodies are unable to do the deeper house cleaning that we truly need. Your body's first priority is to handle the food that's coming into it because that's your cellular frontline. What comes in your mouth can take you out of this life fast, so your immune system and other support must be present in your gut and on guard at all times. Add to that the fact that today we have endless meals being thrown in there and we've got a serious energy siphoning happening. Most of us don't know the art and science of eating lightly or fasting for even a short time period. For many of us, breakfast is being pushed through by lunch, is pushed through by dinner, is pushed through by dessert, is pushed through by breakfast... and on and on and on. Our bodies never get a break. Our internal organs are constantly processing food and the resulting metabolic waste products. Can your body handle this burden? Well, yes (in the short-term.) Was it designed to deal with the toxicity of our modern world? In the immortal words on the philosopher Bart Simpson, "No way man!" Being exposed to abnormal amounts of dangerous compounds is now common in our world today. Even if you're eating organic, radioactive fallout has been seen in our water, air, and soil, so truly, no food chain is free of contamination. For example, only days after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, higher levels of radioactive cesium-137 was found in tuna caught off the California coast. Even dairy products on the west coast were showing traces of radiation from the event. The reality is, our world is very different from the one we have evolved to live in. More pollution, more radiation, and poorer food, water, and air quality means we have a serious issue at hand. Should we throw up our arms and run away? Unless you've got a spaceship or know Richard Branson (who does have a spaceship) where the heck are you going to go? Knowing what you are dealing with, and knowing that you've got to adapt, the better question to ask is: What are you going to do about this? I'm a big advocate of knowing how to assist your body in the natural processes of detoxification. Today I've got an incredible resource in this mission for you that will bring you lots of value for many years to come. My guest is Sheleana Jennings from YoungAndRaw.com and they have some of the best cleansing and rejuvenation programs out there. The hundreds of thousands of people following their work should be an indicator, but I'll let you hear it for yourself. :) In this episode you'll discover: How a young person can develop painful kidney stones. How to "hear" the communication your body is giving you about what you need. What detoxification actually is. Why detoxing doesn't necessarily mean fasting. Why learning the skill of detoxification is important in our world today. How waste products and toxins can build up in our tissues. Why your liver and kidneys are so vital in detoxification. How to cleanse your kidneys and how to eliminate kidney stones (pain-free). What things you should juice to detoxify and heal your kidneys. What pain, discomfort, and low energy are indicating in your body. What your 4 major detoxification channels are. What you need to do first before considering hormone therapy. 3 simple detox tips that you can use daily to stay vibrant and healthy. How sleep relates to detoxification.

Can losing weight really be that difficult? Isn't it as simple as eat less, burn more, and you'll see that scale move, or did we all just miss the memo? Millions of people worldwide struggle with conventional weight loss methods each year, and less than 10 percent of them keep the weight off long-term. Logically speaking, there is a glaring hole in the way that standard diet and weight loss information is being disseminated. The system is broken. Badly broken. And in order to take back control of our health, we have to shift our attention to things that truly matter. Our misguided focus on controlling calories as the means for weight loss has resulted in rates of obesity and diabetes skyrocketing in the last few decades. Today it's time to make a change, and expose The Calorie Myth for good! Our guest, New York Times Bestselling Author Jonathan Bailor, is here to share game-changing insights about weight loss, exercise, food cravings, and a whole lot more. In this episode you'll discover: Why cutting or adding calories to change your weight won't necessarily work. How we become judgmental about ourselves and others when conventional weight loss methods fail. Why most dieters are focused on calories (this is an ah-ha! moment for sure). What we need to have as a focal point instead of calories to achieve a healthy weight. How focusing on calories can actually be deadly. The shocking truth about diabetes (the health AND financial epidemic). What your "set-point" is and how to change it. Why two people can eat the same thing and only one of them gains weight. Why your performance goal should determine your diet. Which fruits you need to be cautious of (this might surprise you!) Why fruits and vegetables are NOT interchangeable. How to improve the taste of green smoothies without spiking insulin. Why we tend to desire sugar and sweetness more than any other taste sensation. The truth about where we get our food cravings. Why our exercise misinformation is tied directly to our calorie misinformation. An exercise hack that beats conventional "cardio" to burn fat faster. The #1 marker to know how often you need to exercise.

Have you ever heard the saying, "First impressions last a lifetime"? Whether it's true or not, we make snap judgements about people upon meeting them for the first time. It's built into us as an evolutionary advantage to be critical, recognize patterns, and to observe the health and safety of those around us. Whether consciously or unconsciously, we are judging and being judged with each and every person that we meet. And the very first thing that people see when in close contact with us is the health (or lack thereof) of our skin. Our skin is a symbol of vitality. It is the outermost representation of what's going on with our overall health. On the surface level we want clear, radiant skin to be more attractive to the world around us. On a deeper level our skin can be an indicator of potential (or even chronic) health problems.

Many people feel that their busy schedules can be overwhelming at times. And it's typically during the overwhelm that the not-so-good decisions are made with what we eat, drink, and participate in.

Okay, now you may read on. :) Life isn't going to be slowing down any time soon. There will always be something to do, someplace to be, and someone that needs your time and energy.

Health is much bigger than finding a diet and exercise program that work well for you. Your health is something that's always in flux... it's holistic, multi-dimensional, and far beyond a banana and some sit-ups. One of the biggest pieces of health that's unwisely overlooked is happiness. That's right, your level of happiness has a huge impact on your health for many powerful underlying reasons. For starters, research published by the Harvard University School of Public Health shows that happiness and an overall optimistic attitude cut the risk of heart disease in half for 6,000 study participants who were tracked over a 20 year period. Another study that included more than 3,000 people over the course of 8 years found that happier people maintained better physical health and mobility as they aged. And this is only half the story... This same study also found that the unhappiest participants were 80 percent more likely to develop physical impairments as they aged. Unhappiness caused a sustained activation of the body’s stress response system, leading to a greater likelihood of developing heart disease, systemic inflammation, and even cancer. So if this doesn't get you to sit up and pay attention to your happiness then you must be related to Archie Bunker, Al Bundy, or Squidward from Spongebob Squarepants. The harsh reality is: You may discover the most powerful diet and exercise in the world, but your results won't matter very much in the long run if you're not happy. Of all things that effect people's optimism, there is one that can really make or break you in the happiness department. What you do for a living has an incredible influence on your happiness and overall vitality. For most people, their workplace is where they spend half of their waking hours 5 days a week. People often spend more time at work and with their coworkers during the week than their own family and friends... so hopefully you can see why being happy with work is so important. If you don't love the work you do and want a change OR if you simply want strategies to get the most out of life and love what you do even more, I've got something special for you. I've invited an amazing guest on for you today. He's helping hundreds of thousands of people all over the world get connected to work that they're passionate about. He's providing real expertise and real strategies 7-days a week through his top-rated podcast. And today he's going to share some life-changing information to help you live a life that's truly worthy of you.
