💥YOU DON'T WANT THE THING... YOU WANT THE FEELING YOU THINK THE THING WILL GIVE YOU💥 You don't want thousands of dollars in the bank..... you want the security and freedom you think it will bring you..... You don't want that important job/position.... you want the approval... validation.... vindication you think will come along with it... You don't want that perfect partner.... you want the love... acceptance.... you think you'll finally have if you can just find someone to love you.... YOU WILL SPEND YOUR LIFETIME UNSUCCESSFULLY CHASING THINGS IF YOU DON'T STOP TO IDENTIFY WHAT IT IS YOU ARE TRULY SEEKING: THE FEELING BEHIND THE THING... YOU'RE CHASING THE SYMPTOM.... BUT MISSING THE CAUSE.... 💥IDENTIFY THE FEELING (cause) BEHIND THE THING (symptom) YOU ARE CHASING... AND THEN NAME IT SO YOU CAN FINALLLLLLY GET CLEAR ON WHAT YOU ARE REALLY FUCKING AFTER💥 🤫🤫🤫Psssssssst.... but remember.......... the glasses are on ✨️YOUR✨️ face 🤓💙

I came up with these questions yesterday with regards to distilling down the feelings behind "the thing".... it's a framework to help clarify.... I am working through it personally.... and I discussed with Jas this mernin... it has been INCREDIBLY clarifying for both of us!!! 😳 Use the questions below as a jump off point.... pick a topic and then answer the questions with regards to that topic... add in your own questions if any pop into your awareness while answering these .... repeat with other topics .... *I will paste my actual answers so far as an example.... TOPIC: What [feeling] am I chasing? What feeling am I looking for outside of me? What does that feeling distill down into? What is my humanness around this? What does that feeling distill down into? How can I give that feeling (that I'm chasing) to myself first? Now that it's in my awareness, how can I consciously engage with others with regards to what (feeling) "I'm chasing"? What part of acting (or not acting) on this am I making dependant upon financial impact, family/friends approval, beliefs (cultural, religious, trauma, etc), etc...? Here are my personal answers so far with regards to career..... ✨️FRAMEWORK FOR THING VS. FEELING✨️ TOPIC: CAREER What [feeling] am I chasing? Meaningful interactions, connection, purpose, relevance... I want to know that I impacted someone in a positive way that helped them understand or affect change in their body or life... What feeling am I looking for outside of me?: I crave to be validated and acknowledged for knowing what I know... What belief does that feeling distill down into?: being good enough, being loved, being worthy What is my humanness around this?: I take it personal when someone doesn't believe me, but listens to/acts on the same information from someone else What does that feeling distill down into?: rejection, abandonment, being irrelevant How can I give that feeling (that I'm chasing) to myself first?: Sit with myself in breath/meditation (i.e. meaningful interaction) .... take time to be in nature (connection).... Continue learning things that interest me (purpose/relevance).... Continue making decisions based on health/longevity (positive change in my life)...

Most of you know I set out a couple years ago to reverse my High Blood Pressure and Diabetes.... with the ultimate goal of getting off my BP meds... From the 3 BP meds that I was on.... I am down to only 5mg of 1 (I was off everything, but our move out here raised my BP back up.... but it is coming back down to a level that I can look at coming off this med again.)... The biggest change I've seen is a reversal of diabetes to barely being insulin resistant... I lowered my A1C from 6.7 (diabetic) to 5.9 (juuuuust inside the level of insulin resistant).... and my goal is to lower it to at most 5.5... I have made significant dietary/lifestyle changes... and once out here, added a pretty good gym regimen that includes sauna and hot tub heat therapies (these both help with BP and insulin processing among many other things)... But one of my biggest success stories has been my longevity protocol through Healthspan and the use of their SGLT2 inhibitor.... THIS IS NOTTTTTT A FUCKING GLP1! It has NOTHING to do with weight loss..... it affects how your body processes glucose... which my body needs help with.... But it has also showed a lowering of all cause mortality, cleared senescent cells, protected kidneys, and (in one trial) lengthened telomeres within six months. 🤯🤯🤯 This podcast is from Healthspan and Rich is actually one of my treatment team at Healthspan... so I work directly with him and a couple others.... I could rannnnnnt for dayyyyys about how important getting your insulin resistance under control is!!!!!!!! It is the driver for high blood pressure, stroke, hearth attack, dementia, Alzheimer's and many other health issues.... INSULIN RESISTANCE IS THE DRIVER FOR ALL THOSE THINGS!!! ☆☆If you have only one health goal it should be to stay farrrrr away from becoming Insulin resistant... and reverse it immediately if you are already there or are diabetic!!!!!!☆☆ I hope this podcast can help anyone who is focused on remaining healthy for mannnnnny years!!!

SCIENCE BITCH!!!!! 🤘😝🤘 The RETICULAR ACTIVATING SYSTEM (RAS) processes and filters through roughly 11 million bits of sensory information EVERY SECOND. 🤯 Rather than processing all of it consciously, the RAS acts as a gatekeeper: • Total input: Receives about 11 million bits per second from your environment and senses. • Conscious output: Filters out the noise and lets only about 40 to 50 bits per second pass through to your conscious awareness. [SO THERE ARE TEN MILLION NINE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED FIFTY BITS OF INFORMATION YOUR ARE NOT GETTING EVERY FUCKING SECOND!!!] Because your brain cannot handle 11 million bits of raw data at once, the RAS relies on programmed rules to decide what gets through. By default, it prioritizes survival, your name, and physical threats. However, you can deliberately reprogram its secondary filters to look for specific goals. 1. FORMULATE HYPER-SPECIFIC GOALS Vague commands fail because the RAS needs precise search parameters. • Instead of: "I want a better career." • Try: "I am looking for a project management role in healthcare." • Why it works: This gives your neural filter specific keywords to flag when scanning job boards, articles, or conversations. 2. UTILIZE MENTAL REHEARSAL (VISUALIZATION) The brain cannot differentiate between a vividly imagined memory and a real experience. • Action: Spend two minutes daily visualizing a successful outcome (e.g., getting that job, etc). • Why it works: Visualizing primes the RAS to treat the tools, people, and resources required for that success as "highly relevant," making you notice them in real life. 3. WRITE AND REVIEW INTENTIONS DAILY Physical writing engages your motor cortex and reinforces neural pathways. • Action: Write down your top three priorities every morning. • Why it works: This acts as a morning "software update" for your RAS, keeping those specific targets at the top of your subconscious filter for the next 12 to 15 hours. 4. AUDIT YOUR MENTAL INPUTS
