  Speaker 3: talking to you in? What country are you're in right now,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Miss Carson.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: I'm in Paris friends tonight, and.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: So it's midnight right there, right midnight in Paris. Well,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: thank you for staying up late to get this interview in.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Uh again, it's important for me to talk to that.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I know we missed on several occasions trying to talk
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: about rewiring. You know, I always talk about in this show,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: mon Making Conversations, Master Class, Miss Cars, and about fear.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: A lot of people allow fear to stop their decision making.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: And I always tell people fear can stop you a
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: lot with stopping a relationship, can stop you in the job, opportunity,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: can stop you from just stepping out of the house,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: can stop how you deal with your kids. Let's talk
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: about that before we start talking about happiness, Let's talk
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: about fear.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I'm so I'm glad you brought this up, because you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: I mean, it really is the missing piece. I think
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: people talk about mindset, and people talk about moving beyond,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: but there's a piece of so many people don't understand
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: and that we are five percent conscious mind ninety five
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: percent subconscious. And what that means is our subconscious as
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: main directive is to keep us safe in its survival base.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: So we are actually wired for survival. And sometimes that
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: wiring can interfere with our goals towards happiness and success.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: And so we think we're trying to work through fear,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: but we don't really know where it's coming from. It's
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: good in this book and in this methodology, which is
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: a rewire mindset system to teach people the tool to
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: move beyond fear is to actually figure out where the
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: source of stress and anxiety and fear is coming from
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: and to be able to recognize which particular subconscious patterns
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: are operating within them. Because the thing about a pattern
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: is once you you can't unseee it. And that's the beauty.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: And so so you say, once you fear, you cannot unfeared.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: That's what you just say it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Sorry, my apologies. Once you see your patterns, once you
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: can actually name and notice what your patterns are, right,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: you can't unknow them. You've seen them show up and
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: you can recognize them and say, oh my god, I'm
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: doing that thing again that I do in my relationships.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I'm pushing people away because why because it's survival based.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: So what we do is we have five main limiting
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: beliefs that live in your unconscious, subconscious wiring, and they
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: are common to all human beings. I have worked with teenagers,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: I have worked all the way up to sea level
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: executives and global entrepreneurs, and I can promise you even
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: those global entrepreneurs that are running multimillion dollar companies, they
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: all have a couple of these same five fears. And
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: we all have them, and we all know the top one,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: the most common one is that I'm not good enough,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: or I'm not as smart enough, or I'm not educated enough.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: It takes many many.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Basically I'm not good. Just basically I'm not good.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I'm not good, or I'm not enough right, those are
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the main permutations of that. Then there's I'm not deserving
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: of love. Until we believe that we are subconsciously. It's
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: not something we consciously think. There's something running in our
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: background that says I'm never going to find the love
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: I deserve, maybe because I don't look the way I'm
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: supposed to look, or I'm not as successful as I
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: want to be, but we make up some sort of
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: story to explain why it's running in our background without
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: realizing it's run now.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: So basically they're destroying their opportunities based on their internal
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I guess self conscious would would you say that they
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: are self conscious about their their potential flaws that they
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: only are recognize What is that?
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's not self conscious. I would say self conscious
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: is when you have an awareness when you're operating in
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: that five percent of the conscious mind. The self conscious
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: requires for you to be conscious or aware of it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Unconscious is everything else, all learning, behavior and change that
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: you really want to access, operates in the ninety five
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: percent that you are not even aware of and therefore
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: not conscious of. So that's why we use the term
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: subconscious unconscious. It sort of happens as automatically as blinking
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: or walking. When we're walking down the street, we don't
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: think about which foot we're putting in front of the other.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: We don't think about how to transfer our weight into
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: that leg. As we take a step, it just happens.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: We just think I'm moving forward, or our moving sideways,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: or now I'm going to turn, and it happens. So
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: that's kind of how it operates. So I'll give you
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: an example. You wake up first thing in the morning.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Most people don't wake up rested and full of joy
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: and fully excited. Most people, even me, we wake up exhausted, right,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: get a fleet. So the pattern starts right from the
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: second we wake up. Then you start thinking about your day.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: So whatever your morning routine is, you go for that coffee,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: you hit the shower, You're getting ready for your work day,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, you start thinking those same
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: sets of thoughts and the same feelings start to go
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: with it. Oh my gosh, what do I have on
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: the table today? What's on my schedule today? Do I
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: have to get the kids? Said? I'm ready for school?
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: You know what meetings do I have? How am I
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: going to get to everything? And you start to wonder
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: do I have all the energy? Do I have all
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: of the resources to get everything done? And then all
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: of the feelings go with it. Oh my god, you
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: start feeling the stress and the anxiety and the nervousness,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: and you already start feeling irritated and worried, and so
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: those over time, those thoughts and feelings get bundled together.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Think of like think of your brain like a series of.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: When you're talking like this, it's also it can be
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: tied to the environment you walk into, like if you
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: walk in if you know, if you're being bullied at
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: school okay teenagers, or at a job that you don't
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: like your coworkers, your co workers don't make you feel comfortable.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: So so you know, because I'm a big person that
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: always talk about because I get up at four thirty
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Monday through Friday, get up in the morning, and I
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: always tell people I don't I'm not happy to get up,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: but my goal is to get up, you know. Like
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: that's why I laugh when you say that's true. When
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: you get up, You're not exactly whoo I'm up? Man,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do? You get up because that's part
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: of the process. You have to get up to accomplish
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: your task. And so when I'm hearing you talk like
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I always know that. I tell people when I get
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: up at four thirty, I get up because there's a
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: window where it's Rushaun McDonald's time where I can do
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: whatever I want. I don't have to worry about anybody
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: because at that time, at the time of the day
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: that I'm up, the morning, I'm up, nobody else is up.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: So if I want to watch TV, I want to
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: watch ESPO Layer. If I want to go back to
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: bed and nap another fifteen minutes, I have that option,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: but most people do. I've found, and as you want
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: your thoughts on this, is that they get up and
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: they'll pinned against their time, the clock. If they get
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: up at six, they got to be somewhere at eight,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I'll be somewhere at seven. So there are their mindset
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: is never relaxed. They wake up to me, yeah, at
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: at a hyper speed. And I think that's a problem.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Correct that it's exactly right. You're describing it in a
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: slightly different way what I was describing as the pattern
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: when somebody is in their routine, their automatic, automatic way
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: of being. They wake up and they're already in their
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: routine and I, oh, I gotta get up. I gotta
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: do these right, so I got to get to my job.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: And it's an uninspired way of living. You have chosen
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: a different mindset where you wake up and you say
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: you're being intentional with how you spend your time, and
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: you're saying, I'm going to make this a productive day.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: I'm going to create and achieve whatever goal of that
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: I set out to achieve. And it's a very different mindset,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: and it's the mindset of entrepreneurs. They wake up and
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: they have a very clear, intentional morning routine. I've met
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: some entrepreneurs that wake up and meditate. I've met others
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: that meet other entrepreneurs and go for long walks and
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: have interesting discussions on what's going on in the global economy,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: what's going on in their businesses, what amazing books have
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: they read. So they're inspiring and learning from each other.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: And it's an incredible way to start the day, because
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: when you start your day off on the foot of greatness,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: the rest of your day can't fly down so fast
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: from there.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Well, I can't start my day off you know a
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Dion Sanders was doing in the football game. You know,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I got it. I gotta. I got to get in
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: a metaphysical conversation to really get my mind right, that's
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: what you're telling me.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Well, I think all it starts with is if you
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: just take ten minutes to start your day right and
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: just ask yourself this one simple question, how do I
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: want to feel today? And most people wouldn't choose to
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: feel stressed and tired and worried about money or time
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: or energy. Most people would say, I would love to
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: feel certain and capable or peaceful and calm and happy
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: and knowing that everything is just going to go incredibly
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: well today. And then you take that set of feelings
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: and you start to visualize your day, which is what
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Olympic athletes do, It's what top entrepreneurs do. They see
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: the end game, see what their goals look like once
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: they've already achieved them. And once you get into that mindset,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: it starts to rewire your brain because the same set
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: of thoughts and feelings I described earlier, when you're in
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: your automatic, usual way of being, your old routine, is
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: that's a very deflating and uninspired way to live because
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: you just keep It's like Groundhog Day. You wake up
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: and you're just going to keep running the same day
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: over and over. It's exhausting. If you want to wake
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: up and have a life you really love, you have
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: to be intentional. So even taking an extra ten minutes. Listen,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to wake up before thirty in the
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: morning like you do.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Come on, come on, come on, join me.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: No, I will not do it. I will wake up
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: at seven, right if I need you, I'll wake up really,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: But if I will wake up at seven, and I
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: will take that ten to twenty minutes per day to
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: start my day on the right place.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: And I think that's the key right there, what you're saying,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: you are taking time for you, whether it's at four
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: point thirty or seven o'clock. Don't just wake up and
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: just go. And that's what so many people. They wake
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: up and go, they hit this news button, suddenly they
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: up against the clock and things like that. So that's
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the part that I think that from a standpoint of
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: why I'm so excited about talking FIRSTU, for you have
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: a fantastic relaxing voice. I feel like I need to
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: be on some couches. You know, tell me more, doc,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: tell me more. What am I doing wrong? And when
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: you look at your background, I'm talking to Zara Carson.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Our backgrounds degree in psychology, a degree in Applied Positive
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Psychology neuroscience, certified as a Master in LP practitioner. If
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: you don't know what that is, Sharpened main senses and
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: develop your intuition, which she does or she talks to
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: you now and life coach and Master hypnotherapists. Yes, you
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: got it all covered, because you know. The thing about
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: it is that I don't know if I live in
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: an intense life, but I do know multitasking enables me
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: to do a lot, and I don't know if that's
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: a good thing a bad thing, because it's just another
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: layer of pressure. And when I when I when I
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: read your book and about in six weeks, I love
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: things that put me in a timeline six weeks to happy,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: the ultimate road map to retrain your brain for better health,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: greater abundance and long lasting peace and happiness. Let's start
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: with better health.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Why is it?
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: How does in your book do you get to better health?
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: And then we let's ask that part when we come
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: back from break then we get to other breakdown areas
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: of the book, because I think it's important that people
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: don't under stress can determine how you live your life
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: from a healthy perspective.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Correct, Oh my gosh, it's everything. If you know stress.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Our bodies are like think of a wear and tear
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: on your car. So over time you need to get
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: an oil change, you need to get a service for
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: it to run well. Well. What we don't realize going
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: through the same day in day out routine is we're
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: putting so much stress on our bodies because we're not
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: handling ourselves well mentally and emotionally in terms of our
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: mental emotional health. And so your physical body is not
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: just in terms of what you need in terms of nutrition, exercise,
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: and sleep. Your physical body then starts acting like an
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: alarm belt for when things are not being handled in
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: other aspects of your life. And so when you can
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: get in control, like being you know, like starting your
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: day with intentions, by choosing how you want to think
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: and feel, choosing to be calm, choosing to feel peaceful,
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: versus just waking up and automatically stepping into your stress mode.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: What it does is it allows you to reprogram your brain,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: your central nervous system, back to its other state of
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: calm might say, other state. It's because we are always
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: in a stressful state. We are always in that fighter
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: plight mode. We're always on the go in today's busy
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: day and age, and so we've forgotten that we actually
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: have a natural ability to be calm. And so part
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: of what I teach in this book is to teach
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: people what stress does to the body and how to
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: retrain your brain and your central nervous system back to calm.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: And the amazing thing is when you start looking after
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: your mental and emotional health, when you can quiet the
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: mind and you have the tools to be mindful, to
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: be able to stop and pause and just slow the
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: roll and calm yourself down, get yourself back to retraining
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: your brain back to calm. Your physical health also improves
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden. Chronic fatigue disappears, chronic inflammation disappears,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: health issues, high blood pressure, heart risk, autoimmune disorders. They're
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: all stress related. So if you get in control of
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: your mental and emotional health by understanding how stress impacts
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: you and how to choose healthier ways of living mentally
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: and emotionally, all of a sudden, your physical health is
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: also going to improve. It's profound. I promise you we
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: have seen unbelievable shifts in health when people just start
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: looking after their stress levels and make smarter choice.

• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Hi, you doing this is Rashawn McDonald. I'm interviewing Zara Carson.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: She owns a degree in psychology Applied positive Psychology. Neuroscience
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: and it is certified as a Master NLP practitioner, which means
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: he sharpens in your main senses and develop your intuition
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: and life coach as well as a master hypnotherapist. Welcome
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: back to the show, Zara. When you talk about we
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: talked about fear, would like I said, it's important to
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: leave with fear because a lot of people ignore that
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: it can stop them from getting to happiness. What does
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: happiness mean to you?
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: It's an interesting definition because it really is a unique formula.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: I think if you want to incorporate everything in happiness,
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: it needs to include optimal physical wellbeing, because if you
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: don't have your health, you have nothing. And it include
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: being really intentional with your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, so
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: really being in a state of flow where you are
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: in control of your life, in control of your choices,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: able to choose how to navigate your emotions, and being
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: an optimal energized house so you can live an exciting
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: and vital life. So, you know, it's a long way
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: to describe it, but I think it needs all of
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: those things. I think you can be successful and not
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: you know, I think you can be happy and you
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: can be successful, but I don't think real success comes
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: unless you are healthy and happy at the same time.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Because you know, it's really interesting because so many people
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: try to achieve happiness with different ways. A lot of
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: people use alcohols, some people use drugs. Some people feel
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: they have to be in a relationship to be happy.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: You know, a lot of people fear loneliness, which stops
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: them from being happy because they never get to understand themselves.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: So when you look at those different and listening and
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: that reason I list your degrees because that means that
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: you're a learned person, So it means you encountered a
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: lot of not only real life situations, but book information
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: allows people to understand what the true measure of happiness is.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Does it start at a certain age that you should
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: really look in the mirror and say it's all about
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: you and defining your happiness?
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: You know, I think I was in search for that answer.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: So it's a great question. And it took me thirty
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: years of self analysis, study and so many different fields
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: just to kind of understand what is the signs of happiness,
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Like if we could give people a formula, what does
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: that look like? And it was so interesting because I
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: was coaching so many people from so many different walks
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: of life, and as a coach, you learn how to
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: help people achieve their goals. And this is what we
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: think happiness is. Right, we come into this life with
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: very few instructions. You're told to do well in school,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: then pick a career, pick a job, and decide to
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: do that. Then get the house, get the kid, get
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: the car, get the you know, and all of a sudden,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: happiness will show up. But that's not how it works,
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: and so we don't really we're never asked what makes
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: you happy? What are the things that really bring you joy?
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: What makes you feel alive, what makes you feel peaceful?
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: And so what I came to understand and working with
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: all of my clients is I was trying to help
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: visualize their goals is very few people could actually tell
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: me that they would be any happier once they achieved them.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: So I said, oh, my goodness, what is missing here?
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: This is profound. This is a major gap in what
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: I thought we were all doing. We were all doing
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: life wrong in a way, right, And I said, what
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: is this missing piece? And I said, Oh, my gosh,
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: we don't even know ourselves well enough to know what
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: is that magic formula for us? Because it's unique. Your diet,
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: Rashaan and your morning routine is going to be different
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: than your partner, your kids, your business partner, your friends,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: the way I eat, even the meals we choose, it's
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: going to be completely different. So it is unique to
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: you as it is unique to me and everyone else.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: So it really is a magic formula just for you.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: And so what I came to do is I broke
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: down all of the areas of your life financial, emotional.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: What do you need in terms of love, affections and sex?
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: What do you need in terms of financial stability slash freedom.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: I like to use freedom because everyone wants financial stability,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: but I want freedom. I want to be excited about
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: my life. You know, what are the things you need
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: in terms of intellectual mental stimulation, What are the things
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: you need in terms of physical stimulation in your physical environment?
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: What do you need socially? So I've given people a
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: free tool that they can download from our website called
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: the Happiness Planner, and they can figure out what is
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: it that really makes them feel so alive and so
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: optimized in terms of their mental health, emotional health, and
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: really gives them energy like what would be a life
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: that really excites them? And what that does is it
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: gives them a really clear guide for who they are
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: now and how they're living their life and what they
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: actually would like if they could choose everything they wanted,
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: and they can then see the gaps and from there
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: we have somewhere to work with. And so the other
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: thing I did was I also created something to help
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: people understand. You talked about fear at the start of
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: this some thing to help people understand a quick and
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: playful way for them to understand what their fear patterns are.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: And it's called the Life Block Quiz, And they can
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: take this quiz for free in seven to ten minutes,
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: and they can figure out what's their major life block
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: in terms of love, in terms of creating wealth, in
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: terms of feeling safe, in terms of feeling loved and supported,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: in terms of being able to create a life that
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: they really and truly are excited by. And so we
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: have a couple of tools that are available for your audience,
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: so they can just go and at.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Least start should they go, Do you have a website
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: they they can you can mention on the air right
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: now to tell them.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: To go absolutely absolutely, they can go to six weeks
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: to happy dot com.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Is that the number six or just to spell it out.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: It's both. Okay, we have both, so just go to
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: six weeks to happy dot com and just click the
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: link take the quiz. That's the very first step to
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: figure out what are your fear patterns and what it
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: shows you is of the five limiting beliefs, there are
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: ten animal archetypes, so you actually get to see your
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: personality mapped out in terms of different values. What are
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: the things that are important to you? What are your
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: behavioral patterns in terms of money, wealth and success. What
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: are your behavioral patterns in terms of how you interact
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: with others when you're in relationship. What happens to you
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: when this fear pattern gets triggered. What do you do
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: to push people away? What do you do to interact
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: with that survival mechanism that's operating within you, and how
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: to know when it's not serving you, when it's preventing
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: you from achieving your life goals. And that's the first step.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: So it's really a fun and playful way for people
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: to get to know themselves better and really get to
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: see what is stopping them in their lives.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: We know because we don't know. We really don't know.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: We talk to people that don't mean that we know
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: that person knows you. You can be married to somebody
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: for a long time doesn't mean that person knows you.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Because we all hide stuff from each other, we hide
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: it out of fear. We hide because it makes us
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: feel weak. It might make us feel that we don't know,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: we're ignorant, or we are a lot a lot of
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: We open a lot of doors that but failed to
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: close them because as long as they say open, you know,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: bad information keep coming in. Sometimes we need to close
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: these doors off. And it's really important that when I
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: brought I'll be honest with you. You are in our guests.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I've done this show a lot in five years, and
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: a half hour is disserviced to you. I need to
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: just really let you know that. Unfortunately I have to
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: wrap this up and like in a minute, and you are.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: What you're saying to me allows me to have an
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: honest conversation. I think that that's important and I hope
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: my listeners who are listening to this realize this is
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: an interview by the honesty, Honesty about yourself and what
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: you're trying to accomplish and stop denying your truths. And
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: it's tied to fears, it's tied to relationship, is tied
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: to wait, it's tied to jobs. It is so many
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: different things that can stop you to happiness. And I
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: can assure you the path, the path to happiness is
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: not tied to drugs, is not tied to alcohol. It's
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: not tied to anything that you have to inject in
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: your system to get you motivated to feel good, you
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: have to dig deep. And that is what your book
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: is all about.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Correct, Yes, correct. I think the piece that's missing in
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: it though, over sean is I want to say, you know,
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: most people don't. It's not that they're choosing not to
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: face their fears, it's that they really don't know. We're
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: not aware of them. And the reason is is because
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: we think we're the only ones getting it wrong. We're
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: the only ones that's this feeling of I'm not enough,
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: I'm not smart enough, I'm not deserving or capable of
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: wealth and success, and we look around us and we
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: think everybody else seems to know the secret to life
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: but us. And so this lifeblock quiz actually helps you
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: tap in, and I promise you it is related to
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent of human beings. If you are a
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: human being, you have at least two of these patterns
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: operating within you. Nobody gets to escape this. It's part
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: of the human journey, and it's part of your soul's
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: journey to go through all of these changes to be
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: able to learn how to become the best version of yourself.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: So it's a lot of what you said, but there's
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: a piece of it that was missing. And I just
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: want to impose on people that it's something that we're
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: not aware of. And it's my job or my choice
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: to want to help people to bring this to the
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: surface so we can all heal, so we can all
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: move past fear and come to a place of love, health,
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: wealth and success because we are all deserving in it. Wow.
