In today’s episode, I talk about developing trust – trust in the world, trust in your place in the world, and most importantly, trust in yourself – and how developing trust can affect your business and life outcomes.

Highlights

• People often tell me that they are aware that they have an inner voice but are afraid to follow it and don’t take action.
• The old rules in many sectors no longer apply and the new rules having been settled yet, which causes uncertainty and fear.
• When I’m building something innovative, I have to take chances because I’m not building it on old information. Therefore, sometimes things don’t work out, and that’s okay.
• It’s necessary to develop a communication system with your body-mind-spirit that works for you and tests over time.
• The more you develop your inner awareness, the better your life will work.
• The more you understand your inner operating system, the easier it is to make new decisions.
• Whatever or whomever you don’t trust is not about them, it’s about you not trusting yourself.
• Different people work in different ways. I’ve come to realize that I work best when I’m following my inner guidance. I don’t know how to follow other people’s rules.
• If you let things grow organically, then it’s easier to innovate because you’re not building upon past knowledge.
• I present some ideas as to how you can learn to trust yourself and your intuition.
• Our minds are part of a network of minds that have an energetic connection. If you express yourself freely, it’s easier to be led to the information and people you need because of this connection.

Dr. Philippe Douyon is a Board Certified Neurologist who helps high-performance individuals and business leaders crack the code to hacking the most powerful tool at your disposal: your brain. From years of witnessing first-hand the disastrous effects of neurological disorders,

Dr. Douyon discovered that the solution was simple: take charge of your brain. Many of us don’t realize that you do not have to fall victim to your neurological makeup. Dr. Douyon believes that success in life and business starts in the brain and is on a mission to spread the empowering message that you CAN rewire your brain to create a life you were meant to live, regardless of age, all without prescribing a single pill. His book is Neuroplasticity: Your Brain’s Superpower: Change Your Brain and Change Your Life.

Highlights

• Dr. Philippe Douyon shares his experience as a kidney transplant patient and how it affected his life. To overcome the trauma, he focused on goals rather than his problems.
• We talk about his perception of the medical system and how he deals with it.
• Doctors are too specialized.
• I asked how he maintains his equanimity while working in the system that he finds so flawed. He describes the path he’s been taking as he spreads the word about alternative approaches to medical care.
• We talk about what it is inside of the brain that allows us to have mystical and other spiritual experiences.
• There are senses outside of the usual five senses that are usually discussed. We talk about intuition and other so-called extrasensory perceptions.
• You can think about your brain more as a relay station rather than just who you are, and it’s capable of tuning in to other people and other energies around you.
• Our brains are in charge only when you let them be. When our brains are in charge, that can lead to a lot of chaos.
• You have to do some things every day to keep your brain healthy like exercising, eating right, minimizing stress, constantly learning and evolving, and meditating or sitting silently.
• The lifestyle choices you make every day affect your brain.
• People in the older generation are finding it easier than young people to adapt to change because they’re looking for something different. He explains.
• To deal with uncertainty, understand that the present moment is the only moment you have. Focus on that rather than the past or the future.
• Your brain will always try to prove you right.
• 95% of your thoughts are the same thoughts you had yesterday.
• From the moment we are born, people are trying to take control of our thoughts.
• When people become aware of how powerful they are, they can take control of their thoughts and their lives.
• Which messages are you going to allow in and who are the people you’re surrounding yourself with?
• Neurons are built for communication. Every neurological problem is based on neurons not communicating. So, it’s important for people to learn to communicate better with each other.

With all the dissension the country in the world is experiencing, how does one maintain a state of calm and inner peace? In this episode, I offer some suggestions as well as explaining how brain chemicals affect our inner world and how we can regulate them.

Highlights

• Any time you experience the feeling of love, your brain releases oxytocin, which is known as the love chemical, and it has a healing effect on the body.
• When you feel stress or anything negative, cortisol is released, which has a deleterious effect on the body because it causes inflammation.
• The idea is to minimize cortisol and maximize oxytocin.
• Chronic diseases are affected by cortisol.
• Every time you feel annoyed or angry, you are releasing cortisol.
• Gratitude practices help you develop a oxytocin habit.
• Every time you get angry or upset, that adds inflammation to your system, especially if the feelings are ongoing rather than momentary.
• You have the ability to change your brain chemical releases by changing your emotional habits.
• Everything about your life will get better when you move from the cortisol space to the oxytocin space.
• When you consciously develop an attitude of love and peace, I guarantee that your life will get better.
• If you haven’t dealt with your childhood wounds it is going to affect your life outcomes.
• Because your business and life outcomes are an extension of you, you will do better when you are in a more positive space.
• When dealing with other people, if I’m always looking for our similarities rather than our differences, I am actually missing something.
• Embracing our differences allows for expansion.
• The place to start is for you to learn how to love yourself because when you love yourself, it’s easier for you to love and accept other people.
• I suggest that you work on altering your thought patterns and your emotional habits and accepting who and where you are.
