Speaker:

I absolutely love structured water.

Speaker:

I love things like the ASEA.

Speaker:

I love my supplements that

Speaker:

can help take some of these nasties

Speaker:

out. So there's loads of sort of bio

Speaker:

hacks that we can do to deal with

Speaker:

the modern stresses.

Speaker:

But also, let's be honest, the

Speaker:

modern temptations of life

Speaker:

and and just really let's try and

Speaker:

educate ourselves.

Speaker:

Let's not forget our beloved

Speaker:

animals.

Speaker:

I am back for

Speaker:

my current book club, which

Speaker:

is Vex King.

Speaker:

Good vibes, good life.

Speaker:

What I am doing is reading through

Speaker:

the whole of this wonderful book.

Speaker:

Reading it through in order

Speaker:

and making some comments of my

Speaker:

thoughts and observations along the

Speaker:

way.

Speaker:

So even though you can listen to

Speaker:

these in whatever order you like

Speaker:

it's probably going to make most

Speaker:

sense if you start at the beginning

Speaker:

and listen from number one, episode

Speaker:

one.

Speaker:

So last time

Speaker:

we got up to

Speaker:

part two Positive Lifestyle

Speaker:

Habits, which is on page 23

Speaker:

now, one of the reasons why I picked

Speaker:

this book by Vex King is firstly

Speaker:

Vex King, I love him.

Speaker:

I find him really inspirational.

Speaker:

He's got a really good Instagram

Speaker:

page as well, and all the links

Speaker:

for how you can connect with Vex are

Speaker:

below.

Speaker:

I love this book because it appeals

Speaker:

to all ages.

Speaker:

I know so many people who've read

Speaker:

this book from teenagers to people

Speaker:

my age and everyone

Speaker:

in between, and it's

Speaker:

got some really, really good

Speaker:

practical advice in here.

Speaker:

It's broken down into really

Speaker:

easy, manageable chunks as well.

Speaker:

And it's just a really easy read so

Speaker:

you can pick it up, put it down,

Speaker:

etc. whenever you want.

Speaker:

So I think this is a really great

Speaker:

inspirational book to share some

Speaker:

good advice, he shares and Vex

Speaker:

shares his life stories as well

Speaker:

in here.

Speaker:

So for me, I really love

Speaker:

it and I hope

Speaker:

you do too.

Speaker:

So let's get going.

Part two:

Positive Lifestyle

Part two:

Habits.

Part two:

Introduction.

Part two:

Higher states of vibration will

Part two:

help you feel good, which means

Part two:

you can manifest more good things in

Part two:

your life.

Part two:

Your aim is to feel better

Part two:

by vibrating higher.

Part two:

There are many lifestyle habits that

Part two:

will help you do this and bring you

Part two:

closer to a more loving and joyful

Part two:

state.

Part two:

You can change your emotional state

Part two:

through all sorts of activities that

Part two:

will raise your vibration, some

Part two:

of which will have a lasting effect,

Part two:

while others may make you feel good

Part two:

only in the moment.

Part two:

For example, if you feel upset

Part two:

because you've fallen out with a

Part two:

friend, you might be able to change

Part two:

your emotional state by doing

Part two:

something fun with other friends

Part two:

instead.

Part two:

Other ways you might raise your

Part two:

vibration include physical touch

Part two:

with a loved one, laughing,

Part two:

listening to uplifting music,

Part two:

spreading kindness, sleeping

Part two:

deeply, moving your body,

Part two:

or engaging in any other activity

Part two:

you enjoy.

Part two:

But afterwards, you might be left to

Part two:

face your misery again.

Part two:

Nothing has improved in your mind.

Part two:

You've just temporarily avoided the

Part two:

problem.

Part two:

Alternatively, the practice of

Part two:

meditation can over time

Part two:

completely change the way your brain

Part two:

functions.

Part two:

Meditation and the

Part two:

introspective act of studying

Part two:

your low vibrational emotions

Part two:

can help you transform these two

Part two:

higher vibration emotions.

Part two:

Thus, meditation may help you view

Part two:

the fallout with your friend in

Part two:

a more positive way.

Part two:

We'll spend more time exploring

Part two:

meditation further on.

Part two:

Since everything is energy, you

Part two:

could say that everything you engage

Part two:

with will affect your vibration

Part two:

somehow.

Part two:

But new actions and changing your

Part two:

mindset in a positive way

Part two:

are also elements of self-love

Part two:

to become the best and happiest

Part two:

person you can be.

Part two:

There are also new actions we can

Part two:

take to make ourselves feel better

Part two:

that may seem to work for only a

Part two:

short while to begin with,

Part two:

but when carried out consistently

Part two:

over long periods of time, become

Part two:

habits that reap lasting results.

Part two:

So we're going to go through some of

Part two:

those habits now and see which ones

Part two:

we resonate with.

Part two:

Surround yourself with positive

Part two:

people.

Part two:

Surround yourself with people who

Part two:

are vibing higher than you.

Part two:

Be around people who are feeling

Part two:

better than you.

Part two:

Energy is contagious.

Part two:

When you are not feeling too good,

Part two:

try being around people who are.

Part two:

They're vibrating higher than you,

Part two:

and there's a good chance that you

Part two:

can absorb some of their energy.

Part two:

Just

Part two:

as the green algae has been found by

Part two:

researchers to draw energy from

Part two:

other plants, my experience

Part two:

suggests that there's great

Part two:

potential for humans to do something

Part two:

very similar.

Part two:

Have you ever met someone for the

Part two:

first time and felt like something

Part two:

isn't quite right about them?

Part two:

You can't quite put your finger on

Part two:

it, but you just get a bad vibe

Part two:

and usually you find out later

Part two:

that there was a good reason for

Part two:

this feeling.

Part two:

Energy doesn't lie.

Part two:

You probably experience the

Part two:

opposite, too.

Part two:

There are certain people who we

Part two:

identify as being full of positive

Part two:

energy.

Part two:

They always seem to infect those

Part two:

around them with their good vibes.

Part two:

I've changed my emotional state many

Part two:

times just by being around cheerful

Part two:

people.

Part two:

Positive people can also provide

Part two:

empowering perspectives on our

Part two:

problems.

Part two:

Being in a positive state, they're

Part two:

more likely to have an optimistic

Part two:

outlook on what we're going through.

Part two:

They'll try to look for the

Part two:

positives in the situation

Part two:

and help us change our focus to

Part two:

something that lifts our vibe.

Part two:

So, make a commitment to build

Part two:

meaningful and lasting relationships

Part two:

with positive people.

Part two:

When you spend more time with people

Part two:

who add value to your life and

Part two:

elevate your mood, you'll begin

Part two:

to adopt an encouraging thinking

Part two:

patterns and reflect their

Part two:

vibrations back at them.

Part two:

The law of vibrations suggests that

Part two:

we attract people who are vibrating

Part two:

on the same frequency as us.

Part two:

So if we can begin to experience

Part two:

more positive emotions on a regular

Part two:

basis, as a result of other

Part two:

people, we'll attract

Part two:

even more positive people into our

Part two:

life, thus reinforcing

Part two:

the good vibes around us.

Part two:

It's really interesting this one

Part two:

isn't it. I did do a talk with

Part two:

Bryce about,

Part two:

and Emmy, actually about toxic

Part two:

positivity.

Part two:

And for me, that's not what he's

Part two:

talking about here at all.

Part two:

He's about recognising when you need

Part two:

to lift me up.

Part two:

I mean, I've got groups of people

Part two:

that can be really good fun but

Part two:

actually tend to go quite quickly

Part two:

into gossip mode and it really,

Part two:

really lowers how you feel.

Part two:

You don't feel good about it if you

Part two:

spend too long in that.

Part two:

Nothing wrong with a quick joke, but

Part two:

if they're constantly concentrating

Part two:

their efforts on talking

Part two:

about other people, etc., it is

Part two:

not a good space to be in.

Part two:

And then I've got other people that

Part two:

I interact with that really

Part two:

are just full of energy

Part two:

and play that energy forward and it

Part two:

makes such a difference.

Part two:

Let me know in the comments below

Part two:

what you think and whether you

Part two:

experience this regularly and how it

Part two:

makes you feel.

Part two:

And also with that awareness,

Part two:

have you changed who you're

Part two:

interacting with based on that

Part two:

awareness? I'd love to know.

Part two:

Change your body language.

Part two:

It's hard to crack a smile when

Part two:

things are going wrong.

Part two:

But 1003 study

Part two:

by Simon Shrapnel and James

Part two:

Laird showed that if you fake

Part two:

a smile, you can actually trick

Part two:

your brain into thinking you're

Part two:

happy.

Part two:

By releasing feelgood hormones

Part two:

called endorphins.

Part two:

This might seem a little wacky at

Part two:

first.

Part two:

If smiling for no reason feels too

Part two:

strange, then find a reason to

Part two:

smile.

Part two:

You could smile at the prospect of

Part two:

your smile itself, making someone

Part two:

feel happier.

Part two:

They might smile back at you, giving

Part two:

you a genuine reason to keep your

Part two:

smile alive.

Part two:

In fact, our entire body and

Part two:

physiology can affect our thoughts

Part two:

and feelings.

Part two:

By changing our outer state, you

Part two:

can change your inner state.

Part two:

I must say I do this quite

Part two:

a lot. I find that

Part two:

it is really contagious of someone

Part two:

who smiles or laughs.

Part two:

We all know how contagious that can

Part two:

be and how it can lift our mood so

Part two:

quickly.

Part two:

It may also surprise you to learn

Part two:

that the vast majority of messages

Part two:

that we give other people are

Part two:

nonverbal, such as facial

Part two:

expressions, gestures,

Part two:

or even the way we hold ourselves

Part two:

what we're talking.

Part two:

For this reason, it's important that

Part two:

we try to think about the messages

Part two:

we're conveying with our body

Part two:

language.

Part two:

If I told you to show me how someone

Part two:

would appear if they're depressed,

Part two:

you probably know exactly how to

Part two:

portray them.

Part two:

You'd slump with your head down,

Part two:

looking grim.

Part two:

If I asked you to show me how

Part two:

someone appears if they were angry,

Part two:

you could do that with ease, too.

Part two:

Now think about how a person who

Part two:

is happy and feels high on life

Part two:

would appear.

Part two:

What would their facial expressions

Part two:

be like?

Part two:

How would they be standing?

Part two:

Is there a particular way they'd be

Part two:

moving?

Part two:

Where might their hands be?

Part two:

Are they likely to be making any

Part two:

gestures?

Part two:

What tone with their voice take?

Part two:

How fast or slow would they be

Part two:

talking?

Part two:

If you can act like someone who

Part two:

feels good, your internal

Part two:

state will change and your vibration

Part two:

will rise.

Part two:

Now, who's faked it till you make

Part two:

it? We've all probably heard that

Part two:

situation.

Part two:

I have, and it 100% works

Part two:

for me. Sometimes, depending

Part two:

on the thing, it can take longer

Part two:

than others.

Part two:

But seriously, this really does

Part two:

work. And there's so much science

Part two:

behind this.

Part two:

So why not give it a go

Part two:

and, you know, let us know whether

Part two:

it works for you.

Part two:

You might be concerned that this is

Part two:

an unhealthy way to raise your

Part two:

vibration, but the idea

Part two:

that you can fake it till you make

Part two:

it has been proven many times.

Part two:

Woops, I jumped ahead a bit there

Part two:

didn't I!

Part two:

For example, Muhammad Ali famously

Part two:

said, "to be a great champion,

Part two:

you must believe you're the best.

Part two:

If not, pretend you are".

Part two:

Take Ali's fight with Sonny Liston.

Part two:

Before the fight, Ali was an

Part two:

underdog, but he chose to act like

Part two:

he was going to whop Liston.

Part two:

Boasting and bragging about it to

Part two:

the fans.

Part two:

And in the fight, he did.

Part two:

Social psychologist Amy Cuddy

Part two:

is renowned for her work on how body

Part two:

language not only affects how others

Part two:

see us, but also how

Part two:

we see ourselves.

Part two:

A report co-authored by Cuddy

Part two:

claims that simply by doing one of

Part two:

these three poses related to power

Part two:

for only 2 minutes a day,

Part two:

you can create a 20% increase

Part two:

in the confidence hormone

Part two:

testosterone and

Part two:

a 25% decrease

Part two:

in the stress hormone cortisol.

Part two:

The so-called power poses a quick

Part two:

and easy way to feel more powerful,

Part two:

says the report.

Part two:

I'm laughing. I want to see what

Part two:

these are.

Part two:

Some people get the wrong end of the

Part two:

stick and pretend to have some

Part two:

particular asset or talent to seek

Part two:

attention from others, so that

Part two:

they can feel better about

Part two:

themselves.

Part two:

But if you simply act a particular

Part two:

way to enhance your confidence

Part two:

and feel better about where you're

Part two:

going, it becomes a useful

Part two:

technique.

Part two:

This imagined confidence will then

Part two:

gradually start to become genuine

Part two:

confidence, and the closer

Part two:

you get to it through matching

Part two:

vibrations, the more genuine

Part two:

it becomes.

Part two:

So again, let me know.

Part two:

Have you tried this?

Part two:

We all know...

Part two:

We read body language a lot in

Part two:

other people and also we

Part two:

can see it in ourselves as well.

Part two:

So this is where, sort of actually

Part two:

taking a good look in front of you

Part two:

in the mirror.

Part two:

You can't escape it when you're

Part two:

recording these videos.

Part two:

Trust me, it can be quite a shock at

Part two:

times if I watch any of them back.

Part two:

But actually it's really a feedback

Part two:

mechanism to me because sometimes

Part two:

what we think we're portraying and

Part two:

what we're not, you know, don't

Part two:

match up and it's really good

Part two:

to be aware of that so we can do

Part two:

something about it.

Part two:

Take some time out.

Part two:

Don't underestimate the importance

Part two:

of taking time to relax.

Part two:

Sometimes we get so caught up

Part two:

in our lives and what's going on

Part two:

around us that we become overwhelmed

Part two:

and tense.

Part two:

The simple solution is to unwind

Part two:

and keep some distance from the

Part two:

things that are stressing you out.

Part two:

Don't be afraid to spend some time

Part two:

alone.

Part two:

I notice that sometimes you can feel

Part two:

"people'd out".

Part two:

If you're an introvert, this feeling

Part two:

might be quite common.

Part two:

You feel like everyone wants a piece

Part two:

of you and it just gets too much.

Part two:

If you're living with a spouse,

Part two:

friends, or family, this might

Part two:

seem a little cruel.

Part two:

It's not that you dislike them or

Part two:

that you're even fed up with them.

Part two:

It's just that you need a break, a

Part two:

chance to breathe and recharge.

Part two:

You need to be alone for a while.

Part two:

That's perfectly acceptable

Part two:

and doesn't make you any less

Part two:

loving.

Part two:

It's also easy to feel

Part two:

overstimulated by the media and

Part two:

social media and in need

Part two:

of a period of rest from these

Part two:

things too.

Part two:

How can you tell if you need a

Part two:

break?

Part two:

Well, here's an example.

Part two:

If someone tries to do something

Part two:

nice for you, yet you feel like

Part two:

they're trying too hard or

Part two:

they're up in your space,

Part two:

it might be a sign that you're all

Part two:

"people'd out".

Part two:

It does happen, doesn't it?

Part two:

Yes. You might feel bad because you

Part two:

know this person has good

Part two:

intentions, but you just want them

Part two:

to stop.

Part two:

I'm laughing because this happened

Part two:

to me yesterday.

Part two:

In Mexican Spanish, the word

Part two:

"engentado"...

Part two:

Let that read that again.

Part two:

"Engentado".

Part two:

Oh, I'm rubbish at this.

Part two:

I'm obviously not good at Spanish.

Part two:

Sorry about that.

Part two:

Describes this particular feeling.

Part two:

It refers to the feeling of wanting

Part two:

to be away from people after

Part two:

spending time with them.

Part two:

Although you shouldn't let your mood

Part two:

it take your manners, neither should

Part two:

you feel bad for wanting to

Part two:

disconnect for a bit.

Part two:

It's not only beneficial to you,

Part two:

but for others too.

Part two:

The longer you stay "people'd out"

Part two:

without a recharge, the

Part two:

higher the chance that you'll lower

Part two:

other people's vibrations.

Part two:

That's really true.

Part two:

It's also very powerful to spend

Part two:

some time in nature.

Part two:

In this day and age, it's

Part two:

increasingly difficult to navigate

Part two:

through life without technology.

Part two:

However, being out in nature can

Part two:

help to replenish and rejuvenate

Part two:

your entire being.

Part two:

A research study published

Part two:

in 1991

Part two:

found that natural environments had

Part two:

recuperative effects by bringing

Part two:

about positive emotional states

Part two:

and encouraging psychological

Part two:

well-being.

Part two:

Pretty obvious, isn't it?

Part two:

I think we all know that now.

Part two:

You don't have to make this

Part two:

complicated.

Part two:

You could go outside for a walk,

Part two:

do some work in your garden, go

Part two:

sit under a tree, or gaze

Part two:

up at the stars.

Part two:

If the sun is shining, absorbing

Part two:

some rays of light can help boost

Part two:

vitamin D and levels of serotonin,

Part two:

a happy hormone that acts as a

Part two:

natural mood stabiliser.

Part two:

You know, so much of this stuff,

Part two:

it's simple. When we see it written

Part two:

down, we think, yes, I know that.

Part two:

But quite often we need these

Part two:

reminders to go and do these things.

Part two:

It's so easy these days to spend

Part two:

too long in front of a computer, too

Part two:

long on your phone, etc.,

Part two:

and taking these little breaks for

Part two:

yourself, getting out in nature.

Part two:

I'm so lucky. I've got so many

Part two:

animals I can go and interact with.

Part two:

It's so, so important.

Part two:

It can make such a difference.

Part two:

The next one is find some

Part two:

inspiration.

Part two:

Inspiration keeps me driven and

Part two:

optimistic.

Part two:

Nowadays, there are so many ways

Part two:

that we can get inspired.

Part two:

Self-help books, newspapers

Part two:

and empowering novels like The

Part two:

Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

Part two:

My daughter's just read that, a

Part two:

great. I read it ages ago, I loved it.

Part two:

As are a myriad

Part two:

of digital sources of inspiration

Part two:

such as podcasts.

Part two:

Don't underestimate the power of a

Part two:

great inspirational movie

Part two:

either.

Part two:

I personally find The Pursuit of

Part two:

Happyness starring actor Will Smith

Part two:

very uplifting.

Part two:

I remember one particular period

Part two:

during which I felt completely lost

Part two:

in life.

Part two:

I just left a job to pursue my own

Part two:

business, selling inspirational

Part two:

T-shirts.

Part two:

I invested my own money and my

Part two:

dismay. They weren't selling as well

Part two:

as I'd hoped.

Part two:

I thought they were going to be sold

Part two:

out within days.

Part two:

I'd read all these business

Part two:

textbooks, spent hours on fashion

Part two:

blogs, and felt like I had all the

Part two:

knowledge required to run a

Part two:

successful company and

Part two:

bring something innovative to the

Part two:

fashion world.

Part two:

However, my reality was proving

Part two:

otherwise.

Part two:

I was beginning to lose faith in

Part two:

myself and my abilities.

Part two:

I questioned my direction in life

Part two:

and on top of this my

Part two:

mum saw I was struggling and told

Part two:

me I should get another job as I

Part two:

needed to make money to live on and

Part two:

help out at home.

Part two:

The pressure felt immense.

Part two:

When you begin to doubt your

Part two:

abilities, you can quickly fall

Part two:

asleep into a sea of misery.

Part two:

You begin to experience all the

Part two:

lower vibrational states, and this

Part two:

can be damaging.

Part two:

I knew I had to do something.

Part two:

So I listened to various personal

Part two:

development audiobooks,

Part two:

picked out some more self-help

Part two:

books, streamed online videos

Part two:

and read articles, quotes and

Part two:

blog posts.

Part two:

I even started speaking to

Part two:

entrepreneurial friends I've met via

Part two:

social media.

Part two:

I started learning about other

Part two:

people's hardships and how they

Part two:

overcame them, even when the odds

Part two:

were against them.

Part two:

I started to feel inspired and

Part two:

my self-belief grew.

Part two:

These stories were demonstrating

Part two:

that my failure wasn't final.

Part two:

Anyone who's accomplished anything

Part two:

great has faced big challenges

Part two:

or failures, but

Part two:

they're only final if you quit.

Part two:

Admittedly, my T-shirt business

Part two:

didn't work out, but it sparked

Part two:

changes, one that benefited me

Part two:

hugely.

Part two:

When you're inspired, you find drive

Part two:

and you feel good about where you're

Part two:

going and what's possible in

Part two:

life.

Part two:

You know, I so love that.

Part two:

It's so important.

Part two:

It's not the fact that his t shirt

Part two:

business didn't work out.

Part two:

It's the fact of what he learned in

Part two:

the process and how that that helped

Part two:

him move forward.

Part two:

Because quite often it's learning

Part two:

what we don't want that really helps

Part two:

us clarify what we do want.

Part two:

I love that.

Part two:

Stay clear of gossip and drama.

Part two:

Drama is for TV, not for

Part two:

real life.

Part two:

Don't play a part in someone else's

Part two:

episode in which they're the only

Part two:

star.

Part two:

That is such good advice.

Part two:

I will put my hand up.

Part two:

Sometimes I fall foul to that, of

Part two:

getting involved in friends dramas

Part two:

and, you know, it doesn't serve you

Part two:

and it doesn't serve them.

Part two:

At some point, everyone will find

Part two:

themselves taking part in gossip.

Part two:

Sometimes they won't even realise

Part two:

that they're doing it.

Part two:

The worst part is that most people

Part two:

actually enjoy it.

Part two:

They don't think they're being

Part two:

judgemental and see gossiping

Part two:

as harmless.

Part two:

They just love the excitement of

Part two:

hearing juicy rumours about those

Part two:

around them and passing them on

Part two:

and then getting a reaction.

Part two:

And this makes gossiping a great

Part two:

way to lower your vibration.

Part two:

Regardless, suppression process

Part two:

preys on our ego.

Part two:

We do it to try and feel good about

Part two:

ourselves. To feel superior

Part two:

to others.

Part two:

It's very often judgemental,

Part two:

and most judgements stem from

Part two:

hatred, which is a low vibrational

Part two:

state that will only lead you to

Part two:

inviting unpleasant experiences

Part two:

into your life.

Part two:

Oh yes, we all know this.

Part two:

As we've already established, every

Part two:

thought and word holds a powerful

Part two:

vibration.

Part two:

When we discuss others in a negative

Part two:

way, we're sending negative

Part two:

energy out into the universe.

Part two:

As a result, this lowers our own

Part two:

vibration, resulting in toxic

Part two:

events in our lives that will

Part two:

produce ill feelings.

Part two:

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian

Part two:

medical system, says gossiping

Part two:

affects some of our energy centres

Part two:

known as chakras.

Part two:

This activity restricts us from

Part two:

ascending to higher vibrational

Part two:

states.

Part two:

News outlets profit from gossip

Part two:

by publicising other people's

Part two:

misfortune.

Part two:

Luckily for them, some people buy

Part two:

into it.

Part two:

As a result, it's become socially

Part two:

acceptable to discuss other people.

Part two:

Yet everyone knows they wouldn't

Part two:

like it if they were the subject of

Part two:

gossip.

Part two:

So distance yourself with

Part two:

conversations about others

Part two:

or try to direct the discussion

Part two:

into something more positive.

Part two:

You'll notice that more often than

Part two:

not, people who spend their time

Part two:

gossiping are the ones who seem to

Part two:

complain or find comfort in misery.

Part two:

If you join them in their habits,

Part two:

you'll gradually become

Part two:

disillusioned with life too.

Part two:

Similarly, getting swept up in

Part two:

unnecessary drama can heighten

Part two:

both stress and anxiety.

Part two:

This puts you in a lower emotional

Part two:

state.

Part two:

And as you already know by now, this

Part two:

reflects undesirably on your life.

Part two:

Why give up your joy?

Part two:

I've learned to avoid drama at all

Part two:

costs because it does nothing good

Part two:

for me.

Part two:

I once came across a high drama

Part two:

person who attempted to argue with

Part two:

me about a point I'd made.

Part two:

Ironically, my point had been that

Part two:

we should walk away from fights

Part two:

because they can disrupt our peace.

Part two:

But he didn't believe that we

Part two:

should.

Part two:

When I kindly told him that I

Part two:

respected our differences and we

Part two:

should move on, he got angry.

Part two:

If I'd felt he was actually

Part two:

interested in my perspective, I'd

Part two:

have been happy to share it and

Part two:

listen to his.

Part two:

However, he only wanted to argue to

Part two:

prove me wrong and drag me down.

Part two:

His ears were shut and his mouth was

Part two:

open.

Part two:

He wasn't ready to learn, only to

Part two:

dictate.

Part two:

Our beliefs were different and they

Part two:

got really worked up by it.

Part two:

To him, I was spreading false

Part two:

information and creating further

Part two:

suffering in the world with my

Part two:

viewpoint.

Part two:

This anger was followed by personal

Part two:

abuse directed towards me,

Part two:

particularly since I wouldn't take

Part two:

part in this battle.

Part two:

I simply stayed silent and observed

Part two:

until I could distance myself.

Part two:

It didn't seem like this person

Part two:

cared deeply for other people's

Part two:

well-being or that he wanted to

Part two:

prevent suffering in the world.

Part two:

His aggressive behaviour

Part two:

contradicted his point.

Part two:

He simply needed to justify why he

Part two:

was right and that his way

Part two:

was the only way.

Part two:

My belief shattered his truth that

Part two:

we should always fight back.

Part two:

And without that truth, his identity

Part two:

became threatened.

Part two:

This is the work of the ego.

Part two:

Your ego is your self-image created

Part two:

by thought.

Part two:

It's your social mask, one

Part two:

that constantly requires validation,

Part two:

because it lives in fear of losing

Part two:

its sense of identity.

Part two:

When you are upset because someone

Part two:

doesn't like you it's your ego

Part two:

operating.

Part two:

You validate your existence based

Part two:

on their approval.

Part two:

When they disapprove of you, you no

Part two:

longer feel good about who you are.

Part two:

Our ego always wants to feel

Part two:

significant and adored.

Part two:

It seeks instant gratification.

Part two:

It wants to feel more powerful

Part two:

than others.

Part two:

It's the reason why people buy

Part two:

things they don't need to impress

Part two:

people they don't even care about.

Part two:

It's the reason we'll become bitter

Part two:

about other people's successes.

Part two:

See that all the time, don't we?

Part two:

It's the reason greed exists and why

Part two:

we're constantly striving to outdo

Part two:

others.

Part two:

It prevents us from acting with love

Part two:

and understanding.

Part two:

Unfortunately, many of us identify

Part two:

ourselves with a certain image

Part two:

throughout our lives, and that's

Part two:

created by our ego,

Part two:

and we have to keep on maintaining

Part two:

and protecting it.

Part two:

If others don't approve of the image

Part two:

of ourselves that we've created,

Part two:

identity becomes threatened

Part two:

and the ego will fear for its

Part two:

protection.

Part two:

Just in the case here.

Part two:

My beliefs forced that person to

Part two:

question his own beliefs and

Part two:

therefore question his identity,

Part two:

which posed a threat.

Part two:

This is why he was so quick to get

Part two:

defensive and to attack.

Part two:

This happens a lot in life because

Part two:

of ego.

Part two:

People don't say or ask things out

Part two:

of curiosity, they simply want

Part two:

to prove others wrong.

Part two:

They want people to follow their

Part two:

truth, not because they necessarily

Part two:

care about others, but because

Part two:

they fear being wrong and not

Part two:

knowing who they are.

Part two:

There are a lot of high drama people

Part two:

in the world who seem to thrive in

Part two:

these toxic conditions.

Part two:

I think most of them run the country,

Part two:

don't they?

Part two:

Sorry politicians, had to

Part two:

put that one in there.

Part two:

I'm sure some of you are nice.

Part two:

I just haven't

Part two:

met one yet.

Part two:

I try to keep an open mind and

Part two:

listen to other people's

Part two:

perspectives.

Part two:

However, I've also learned not to

Part two:

waste time on people who have no

Part two:

interest in what I have to say or

Part two:

why I say it.

Part two:

You must make sure that you don't

Part two:

involuntary take part in the

Part two:

internal battles of others.

Part two:

Discussing problems and sharing

Part two:

information is fine when the

Part two:

intention doesn't stem from the

Part two:

desire to make yourself feel

Part two:

superior through the belittlement

Part two:

of others.

Part two:

This provides a false sense of self

Part two:

and consequently lowers your vibe.

Part two:

There are better ways to spend your

Part two:

time than gossiping or involving

Part two:

yourself in dramas.

Part two:

Instead, try to focus

Part two:

on your own life and on trying to

Part two:

improve it.

Part two:

Time is precious and you should be

Part two:

investing it wisely by doing

Part two:

something constructive that will

Part two:

make your life better,

Part two:

greater, actually.

Part two:

Sorry, I made that one up.

Part two:

That will make your life greater.

Part two:

So we have got up to page 45.

Part two:

We're going on to nutrition and

Part two:

water next.

Part two:

Lots of little nuggets in there.

Part two:

Again, we can read this and sort

Part two:

of think, wow, we know that.

Part two:

But actually, don't you

Part two:

find this is tips to get us back to

Part two:

course correcting and things.

Part two:

I think there's some many points in

Part two:

there that we've all experienced

Part two:

over the last few years.

Part two:

There's been so much drama about

Part two:

people's choices, about

Part two:

how much control we feel we've

Part two:

actually got over our own lives,

Part two:

all sorts of areas.

Part two:

We can bring this into everything.

Part two:

So many family dramas

Part two:

with people falling out over

Part two:

different opinions.

Part two:

And I think, you know, the one

Part two:

thing I've really become apparent of

Part two:

over the last three years more than

Part two:

anything, is how important

Part two:

it is to really listen to other

Part two:

people's point of view, because we

Part two:

can make so many assumptions when

Part two:

someone's taking an action that we

Part two:

have decided we disagree with,

Part two:

but so often we haven't really

Part two:

thought about it from their

Part two:

perspective and from

Part two:

their journey and their information

Part two:

and where they're at.

Part two:

Page 45

Part two:

Sort out your nutrition and water.

Part two:

What you consume consumes

Part two:

you.

Part two:

What consumes you controls

Part two:

your life.

Part two:

I'm going to read that again because

Part two:

it's so important and there's so

Part two:

much in just that opening statement.

Part two:

What you consume consumes

Part two:

you. What consumes you

Part two:

controls your life.

Part two:

Everything you eat and drink

Part two:

is important as it affects

Part two:

your vibration and reality.

Part two:

Think about it.

Part two:

How can you feel good if you don't

Part two:

ingest good foods and good fluids?

Part two:

The foods that leave us feeling

Part two:

sleepy and sluggish are those that

Part two:

vibrate at a lower frequency.

Part two:

Hence, when we eat them, our

Part two:

vibration also changes.

Part two:

A lot of these foods are junk foods

Part two:

and unfortunately, they're

Part two:

engineered to taste great.

Part two:

For this reason, some of us tend to

Part two:

overindulge in the bad stuff,

Part two:

and it doesn't just dampen our mood,

Part two:

but also adds an extra pounds

Part two:

and makes us vulnerable to

Part two:

illnesses.

Part two:

In 1949, a French

Part two:

electromagnetism expert

Part two:

called Andre Simoneton

Part two:

published his research on the

Part two:

electromagnetic waves

Part two:

of particular foods.

Part two:

I love this stuff.

Part two:

He realised that each food not only

Part two:

has a particular amount of calories

Part two:

(chemical energy), but also

Part two:

an electromagnetic power that's

Part two:

vibrational.

Part two:

Simoneton discovered that humans

Part two:

must maintain a vibration

Part two:

of 6500

Part two:

angstroms for them to

Part two:

be deemed healthy.

Part two:

An angstrom is a unit measuring

Part two:

100 millionth of a centimetre

Part two:

and used to express the size

Part two:

of electromagnetic wavelengths.

Part two:

Simoneton divided the foods into

Part two:

four categories according to

Part two:

a scale of 0 to

Part two:

10,000 angstroms.

Part two:

The first category was full of high

Part two:

vibrational foods, including

Part two:

fresh fruits and raw

Part two:

vegetables, whole grains, olives,

Part two:

almonds, hazelnuts,

Part two:

sunflower seeds, soy and

Part two:

coconut.

Part two:

The second category had a lower

Part two:

vibration. Foods such as boiled

Part two:

vegetables, milk, butter,

Part two:

eggs, honey, cooked

Part two:

fish, peanut oil, sugarcane

Part two:

and wine.

Part two:

And the third category consisted of

Part two:

foods with very low vibrations,

Part two:

among them cooked meats,

Part two:

sausages, coffee and

Part two:

tea, chocolate, jams,

Part two:

processed cheeses and white bread.

Part two:

The fourth and final category

Part two:

exhibited practically no angstroms

Part two:

and included margarine, conserves,

Part two:

alcohol spirits, refined

Part two:

white sugar and bleached flour.

Part two:

Eye opening that, isn't it?

Part two:

You know, we talk a lot about

Part two:

raising our vibration, keeping our

Part two:

vibration high.

Part two:

We, on my channel, we talk so much

Part two:

about energy and

Part two:

its impact on all areas of our life.

Part two:

And that's pretty eye opening when

Part two:

you feel that.

Part two:

It's a bit like if you've got a

Part two:

bowl of hot water and you pour

Part two:

cold water in, it's

Part two:

automatically going to lower the

Part two:

temperature. So if we're trying to

Part two:

keep our vibration high

Part two:

and resonating at a frequency that's

Part two:

going to help us achieve the things

Part two:

we want in our life, if we're

Part two:

constantly filling our physical

Part two:

vessel up with low vibrational foods

Part two:

and drinks, then we're making

Part two:

life really hard for ourselves.

Part two:

There are a few of my favourites on

Part two:

that list, but I try and balance

Part two:

them.

Part two:

So I've got my lovely organic herbal

Part two:

tea here today.

Part two:

Simonetone's research provides us

Part two:

with insight into which foods are

Part two:

good for our vibration and which

Part two:

ones we should avoid.

Part two:

In addition, as a general rule,

Part two:

good quality organic produce,

Part two:

as intended by nature, will

Part two:

keep you feeling more vitalised than

Part two:

non-organic foods.

Part two:

The price of organic food can be

Part two:

high, but the expense may turn

Part two:

out to be less of a sacrifice on

Part two:

your health if this deteriorates

Part two:

due to eating unhealthy foods.

Part two:

We should also consider the

Part two:

importance of water.

Part two:

It's estimated that around 60

Part two:

to 70% of your whole body

Part two:

is composed of water and

Part two:

it's essential to your body's

Part two:

functioning.

Part two:

It keeps you hydrated and flushes

Part two:

away unwanted toxins,

Part two:

and this will keep you at a higher

Part two:

vibrational state.

Part two:

If the water balance in your body

Part two:

falls below the necessary amount,

Part two:

your body will react adversely.

Part two:

You may be unable to focus,

Part two:

feel dizzy, and even become

Part two:

unconscious.

Part two:

Simoneton's research showed

Part two:

alcoholic spirits to be very low

Part two:

vibration and regular

Part two:

consumption of excessive amounts can

Part two:

be very harmful and even

Part two:

cause death through liver damage.

Part two:

Too much alcohol also creates

Part two:

false perception, which may

Part two:

leave you to behave in a way you

Part two:

wouldn't normally.

Part two:

This can lead to bad choices that

Part two:

might be damaging to your life.

Part two:

Alcohol might provide a few moments

Part two:

of pleasure, but you must moderate

Part two:

how much of it you consume.

Part two:

Make fresh, filtered water

Part two:

your primary source of fluid.

Part two:

Now anyone who watches my channel

Part two:

knows how passionate I am about all

Part two:

these things. Absolutely not,

Part two:

because we can't all live a moderate

Part two:

life.

Part two:

You know, I absolutely love

Part two:

structured water.

Part two:

I love things like the ASEA, I

Part two:

love my supplements that

Part two:

can help take some of these nasties

Part two:

out. So there's loads of bio hacks

Part two:

that we can do to deal with the

Part two:

modern stresses.

Part two:

But also, let's be honest, the

Part two:

modern temptations of life.

Part two:

So if you're interested in that,

Part two:

scroll back. I'll do a search on

Part two:

structured water on my channel.

Part two:

Have a look at some of the ASEA or

Part two:

the Roots playlists.

Part two:

Look at my interview that

Part two:

I've got with the lovely, lovely

Part two:

Jeffrey Boadi.

Part two:

It's just brilliant and and just

Part two:

really, let's try and educate

Part two:

ourselves.

Part two:

But please will do also have a

Part two:

look at the Animals playlist,

Part two:

because let's not forget

Part two:

our beloved animals.

Part two:

They are all completely dependent

Part two:

on us for what they eat.

Part two:

So it's really our

Part two:

responsibility to do our research

Part two:

and make sure that they're having

Part two:

high vibrational foods as well.

Part two:

Express gratitude.

Part two:

Before you complain about school,

Part two:

remember that some people can't even

Part two:

get an education.

Part two:

Before you complain about getting

Part two:

fat, remember that some people

Part two:

don't even have any food.

Part two:

Before you complain

Part two:

about your job, remember that

Part two:

some people don't even have any

Part two:

money.

Part two:

Before you complain about cleaning

Part two:

the house, remember that some people

Part two:

don't even have any shelter.

Part two:

Before you complain about washing

Part two:

the dishes, remember that some

Part two:

people don't even have any water.

Part two:

Before you complain about all these

Part two:

things on social media, using your

Part two:

smartphone without any consideration

Part two:

of how blessed you are,

Part two:

just be thankful for a minute.

Part two:

I know I'm interrupting a lot today

Part two:

but over in the UK here today, it's

Part two:

really very cold.

Part two:

We've gone from lots of wet weather

Part two:

to lots of really cold weather and I

Part two:

have been in gratitude all

Part two:

day because I've been feeding the

Part two:

birds outside, obviously

Part two:

feeding all my animals, trying to

Part two:

feed some of the wild animals as

Part two:

well because all the water's

Part two:

frozen. So it's really difficult for

Part two:

them to get water.

Part two:

It's really, really cold.

Part two:

So they're having to work really

Part two:

hard to keep themselves warm

Part two:

and a lot of the ground's really

Part two:

frozen. So those animals that

Part two:

burrow, that could be a challenge.

Part two:

Even the birds trying to get water,

Part two:

trying to get worms and things and

Part two:

insects, everything is a challenge.

Part two:

So as a human, how lucky

Part two:

am I. I I've got my blanket.

Part two:

I've got my fire.

Part two:

I've got my warm cup of tea.

Part two:

I am so grateful.

Part two:

I really am.

Part two:

Being thankful is one of the

Part two:

simplest and yet most powerful

Part two:

habits you can cultivate

Part two:

by counting your blessings daily.

Part two:

You can begin to condition your mind

Part two:

to look for the good in everything

Part two:

around you.

Part two:

Soon enough, you'll unconsciously

Part two:

begin to see the bright side of

Part two:

things and feel better about life.

Part two:

You can't feel bad while you're

Part two:

feeling thankful, as

Part two:

simple as showing gratitude sounds.

Part two:

Most people struggle with it

Part two:

it's much easier to focus on burdens

Part two:

than on gifts.

Part two:

To devote your attention to the

Part two:

things you don't have rather than

Part two:

the things you do have.

Part two:

I was once studying some of the most

Part two:

successful individuals on this

Part two:

planet.

Part two:

And one phrase really stuck with me.

Part two:

Greatness starts with being

Part two:

grateful.

Part two:

I didn't think too much of it at the

Part two:

time, but as I've grown older,

Part two:

I've begun to understand its value.

Part two:

I've realised that you can't feel

Part two:

joy without being thankful.

Part two:

Being thankful is a vital component

Part two:

of happiness.

Part two:

Furthermore, expressing gratitude,

Part two:

we not only transform our

Part two:

vibrational state to become more

Part two:

magnetic to the good things,

Part two:

but we also become able to put

Part two:

things into perspective.

Part two:

We go through each day constantly

Part two:

comparing ourselves to others.

Part two:

And most of us rarely acknowledge

Part two:

what we have, what others may

Part two:

desire.

Part two:

We also tend to compare ourselves to

Part two:

those we consider more fortunate

Part two:

than us rather than those

Part two:

who are less fortunate.

Part two:

Just think of the amount of people

Part two:

who've had to live through war on a

Part two:

daily basis.

Part two:

But we're completely safe from such

Part two:

troubles and many more that we hear

Part two:

about in the news.

Part two:

It's easy to say thanks without

Part two:

really meaning it.

Part two:

The key to showing gratitude is to

Part two:

feel thankful.

Part two:

I'll use my coaching client, Will,

Part two:

as an example to illustrate how

Part two:

you can reach a true state of

Part two:

gratitude.

Part two:

After Will had started reeling off a

Part two:

list of all his problems,

Part two:

I asked him to tell me what he was

Part two:

grateful for.

Part two:

His response was that he couldn't

Part two:

think of anything.

Part two:

I knew his car meant a lot to him.

Part two:

So I asked, How about your car?

Part two:

He replied. Yeah, I'm thankful

Part two:

for my car, I guess.

Part two:

This level of gratitude is a nice

Part two:

start, but it doesn't really change

Part two:

our state.

Part two:

Then I asked Will, what would it

Part two:

mean if he didn't have his car?

Part two:

He sat there for a moment and

Part two:

thought about it, and then

Part two:

he began to list these things.

Part two:

I wouldn't be able to go to work,

Part two:

pick up the groceries, go and see

Part two:

my friends, and I wouldn't

Part two:

be able to pick up my kids from

Part two:

school.

Part two:

I could see his state changing as

Part two:

he started naming these things and

Part two:

envisioning them in his mind.

Part two:

I then went a step further and

asked:

what would it mean

asked:

if you weren't able to pick up the

asked:

kids?

asked:

He replied.

asked:

Well, they'd have to walk back home

asked:

or take the bus.

asked:

I pressed.

asked:

And how would that will that be for

asked:

them?

asked:

Suddenly he imagined them walking

asked:

back in the cold weather.

asked:

Will knew they'd be unsafe.

asked:

And he was visibly unsettled.

asked:

After a few moments, he thought back

asked:

to when he was a kid and how he used

asked:

to get bullied on the bus home.

asked:

This was when it hit him.

asked:

He took a heavy breath.

asked:

I could see the relief on his face

asked:

as he thought back to his car.

asked:

He finally admitted how grateful he

asked:

was that he not only had a car,

asked:

but also that it helped him improve

asked:

the lives of those he loved.

asked:

His state completely transformed

asked:

and I observed the shift in his

asked:

body language.

asked:

When practising gratitude, imagine

asked:

how different your life would be

asked:

without that particular thing you're

asked:

showing thanks for.

asked:

It will produce strong feelings and

asked:

emotions.

asked:

And this is how you get into

asked:

a powerful state of gratitude.

asked:

Remember, there might be many things

asked:

in your world that are going wrong,

asked:

yet there are also many things

asked:

that are going right.

asked:

The more you count your blessings,

asked:

the more blessings you'll have to

asked:

count.

asked:

Here's a short story.

asked:

During my time working in an office,

asked:

I had a manager who I didn't see

asked:

eye to eye with, and we both

asked:

made work difficult for each other.

asked:

However, as he had more authority,

asked:

he always had the upper hand.

asked:

For months I let his actions affect

asked:

my mood and therefore how I acted.

asked:

I reacted with resentment.

asked:

I gossiped about him.

asked:

I hated going into work, and I

asked:

continued to admit all these

asked:

negative thoughts and feelings out

asked:

into the universe.

asked:

And as a result, things

asked:

got worse.

asked:

Much worse.

asked:

I wanted to distance myself from

asked:

him, but he sat right by me so

asked:

I couldn't.

asked:

Even when I did manage to get away

asked:

from him, he'd find a way to

asked:

provide me.

asked:

Back then, I wasn't afraid to

asked:

vocalise how I felt,

asked:

even if it was going to sound sour.

asked:

I had no problem telling him he had

asked:

no leadership qualities, which

asked:

obviously didn't make things any

asked:

better.

asked:

After viewing some online videos

asked:

from spiritual teacher Esther

asked:

Hicks, I realised that I

asked:

was utilising my energy in the wrong

asked:

way.

asked:

I was aware the problem was there,

asked:

but I was feeding the problem rather

asked:

than focusing on a solution.

asked:

Once I started to do that, things

asked:

started to get better.

asked:

I made a conscious effort to show

asked:

gratitude for having a job that paid

asked:

well.

asked:

I knew how difficult it was just to

asked:

find a job, but especially one

asked:

with a generous salary.

asked:

My salary enabled me to enjoy

asked:

many comforts in life.

asked:

I regularly remind myself of these

asked:

things to ensure I was in a state of

asked:

appreciation.

asked:

A high vibrational state.

asked:

A few months later, my manager was

asked:

promoted to another team.

asked:

I also got a pay rise whilst

asked:

experiencing much more freedom at

asked:

work.

asked:

This period was among my favourite

asked:

in this job simply because

asked:

I decided to feel good.

asked:

I was given rewards that made me

asked:

feel even better.

asked:

Too many of us direct to energy

asked:

towards our fears.

asked:

I'm not saying your problems don't

asked:

exist, but try instead

asked:

to focus your energy on solutions

asked:

to those problems.

asked:

The universe is abundant in all

asked:

areas.

asked:

The illusion of fear is the only

asked:

limitation we have.

asked:

I'd love to hear your comments

asked:

below.

asked:

What experiences you've got for

asked:

that. If you've had particular

asked:

situations where you've managed to

asked:

change around like that, I

asked:

certainly have.

asked:

Study your emotions.

asked:

Ignoring negative emotions is

asked:

like keeping poison in your system.

asked:

Learn to understand everything

asked:

you feel.

asked:

The aim isn't to force positive

asked:

thoughts, but to transform the

asked:

negative ones into something

asked:

healthier so you can feel better.

asked:

Dominant thoughts significantly

asked:

influence though emotions.

asked:

They are crucial to how we feel.

asked:

The issue many of us have when we

asked:

try to become positive thinkers

asked:

is that we ignore the transformation

asked:

process.

asked:

We assume that it's better to wipe

asked:

out negative thoughts, numb

asked:

our feelings, and to move to more

asked:

positive ideas.

asked:

This is often ineffective because

asked:

you're just trying to trick yourself

asked:

into thinking things are okay

asked:

when your true feelings suggest

asked:

otherwise.

asked:

Repressed feelings can become

asked:

toxic with your system

asked:

and can eventually cause damage.

asked:

If a venomous thought sits deep

asked:

within your mind, it will reappear

asked:

when you experience a similar

asked:

situation in the future.

asked:

Not only will this lower your

asked:

vibration, but the continuity

asked:

of this pattern can also

asked:

damage your mental health and

asked:

in turn, your physical health.

asked:

You may also become extremely toxic

asked:

for others to be around, making

asked:

you lonely and further adding to

asked:

your misery.

asked:

So don't suppress your negative

asked:

emotions.

asked:

Instead, transform them

asked:

so you can raise your vibration.

asked:

Not just for now, but for all

asked:

similar events in the future.

asked:

Understanding your emotions will

asked:

allow you to transform them from a

asked:

low vibration to a high vibration

asked:

over and over again.

asked:

This is why introspection is so

asked:

important to personal development.

asked:

For example, a client of mine called

asked:

Sarah had started talking to a new

asked:

love interest.

asked:

A few days into messaging and

asked:

calling each other, he went quiet.

asked:

She waited by her phone, expecting

asked:

him to text back, but he didn't.

asked:

As a result, the dominant thought in

asked:

her head said, "No

asked:

one's interested me or has time for

asked:

me because I'm ugly".

asked:

This made her feel sad.

asked:

Sarah needed to turn her negative

asked:

emotions back into positive ones.

asked:

So, we followed my step to step

asked:

method for achieving this.

asked:

How to transform Negative Emotions.

Number one:

Identify.

Number one:

To change your emotional state you

Number one:

must identify what emotion you're

Number one:

feeling.

Number one:

In Sarah's example, she felt sad

Number one:

and afraid.

Number one:

After delving deeper, we identified

Number one:

that Sarah also felt neglected

Number one:

and insecure.

Number two:

challenge.

Number two:

The next step would be to question

Number two:

yourself.

Number two:

Why do you feel the way you do?

Number two:

What thoughts are responsible for

Number two:

this?

Number two:

Sarah felt sad because she didn't

Number two:

get a text back.

Number two:

The thought that played back to her

Number two:

was that no one had time for her

Number two:

or wasn't interested in her because

Number two:

she was ugly.

Number two:

This made her feel lonely and

Number two:

insecure.

Number two:

At this stage, you have consciously

Number two:

begun to observe your thoughts.

Number two:

A lot of the beliefs we have are

Number two:

based on exaggeration,

Number two:

misconception and opinions

Number two:

imposed on us by other people.

Number two:

Therefore, we can challenge these

Number two:

erroneous ideas and judgements

Number two:

in our mind.

Number two:

We can analyse our thought process

Number two:

and change our negative thought

Number two:

patterns to more positive ones

Number two:

in a logical way.

Number two:

Begin to challenge the beliefs

Number two:

behind your thoughts by questioning

Number two:

the validity.

Number two:

For example, Sarah asked herself:

Number two:

is it true that no one has time for

Number two:

me because I'm ugly?

Number two:

And thinking deeply about this

Number two:

question, Sarah began to learn

Number two:

a lot about why she felt the way

Number two:

she did.

Number two:

At this stage, you can ask the

Number two:

questions that force you to dig

Number two:

deeper.

Number two:

You can also ask extreme questions

Number two:

because they'll inspire extreme

Number two:

answers.

Number two:

In our example, Sarah went on

to ask herself:

does this

to ask herself:

mean I'll never be happy?

to ask herself:

Sarah pondered on these questions

to ask herself:

and was sure, she was exaggerating

to ask herself:

the situation.

to ask herself:

One man failing to text her back,

to ask herself:

didn't mean she'd never be happy.

to ask herself:

She was reminded that her joy wasn't

to ask herself:

dependent on how others interacted

to ask herself:

with her.

to ask herself:

Posing these questions yourself can

to ask herself:

reveal limitations in your thinking

to ask herself:

as they did for Sarah.

to ask herself:

You'll begin to realise that you've

to ask herself:

made false assumptions and focussed

to ask herself:

on negative aspects of your

to ask herself:

situations in your life.

to ask herself:

Try it.

to ask herself:

Perhaps bring up the past experience

to ask herself:

that made you feel unhappy and

to ask herself:

ask yourself direct questions

to ask herself:

that help you get to the heart of

to ask herself:

the matter.

to ask herself:

It's important to realise that we

to ask herself:

create our own sadness

to ask herself:

by attaching negative conclusions

to ask herself:

to these past experiences in our

to ask herself:

subconscious mind.

to ask herself:

Here, we must challenge these

to ask herself:

conclusions which are stored

to ask herself:

as lessons.

to ask herself:

Failing to correct the negative

to ask herself:

lessons means they're replayed in

to ask herself:

your subconscious mind.

to ask herself:

Over time, these lessons on repeat

to ask herself:

can weigh you down and induce

to ask herself:

depression.

Number three:

understand.

Number three:

This step is all about appreciating

Number three:

the deeper meaning behind the

Number three:

emotion.

Number three:

In our example, Sarah found

Number three:

that she was feeling insecure as

Number three:

a result of her recent experience.

Number three:

She started to worry that she wasn't

Number three:

good enough.

Number three:

During the days when her love

Number three:

interest was texting back,

Number three:

she felt better about herself.

Number three:

It was clear that she had a high

Number three:

need for social acceptance and

Number three:

approval.

Number three:

You must recognise the deeper

Number three:

meaning behind your feelings and

Number three:

make use of them as opportunities

Number three:

grow.

Number three:

Sarah determined her worth based on

Number three:

what others thought because she had

Number three:

low self-esteem.

Number three:

She needed to be valued and accepted

Number three:

to feel better about herself.

Number four:

replace.

Number four:

These disempowering thoughts must

Number four:

then be replaced with empowering

Number four:

ones.

Number four:

You must ask yourself:

Number four:

How can I view or do things

Number four:

differently to help

Number four:

myself feel better and live

Number four:

a greater life?

Number four:

It's essential to transform

Number four:

destructive thoughts into ones that

Number four:

make you feel better in the moment.

Number four:

Sarah reminded herself that

Number four:

she was worthy of love regardless

Number four:

of how others might behave towards

Number four:

her.

Number four:

She said, I love myself

Number four:

and that is enough.

Number four:

The love I give myself will be given

Number four:

back to me by someone who truly

Number four:

cares about me.

Number four:

To add substance to these empowering

Number four:

thoughts.

Number four:

Think back to times when you truly

Number four:

felt the way you want to feel.

Number four:

Sarah came up with a memory in which

Number four:

she felt worthy, confident

Number four:

and loved.

Number four:

She held the scene in her head and

Number four:

relived the moment.

Number four:

This technique not only boosts

Number four:

confidence, but it may also

Number four:

bring forth a solution.

Number four:

You may remember something you

Number four:

did during a similar situation

Number four:

in the past that helped you to

Number four:

manage it.

Number five:

visualise.

Number five:

Visualise yourself handling the

Number five:

emotion you'll currently feeling

Number five:

in the future.

Number five:

As you do this, not only will

Number five:

your vibration increase, but you'll

Number five:

also begin to create an autonomous

Number five:

association with that motion

Number five:

that will enable your brain to

Number five:

handle it for you effortlessly down

Number five:

the line.

Number five:

You can do this over and over again,

Number five:

each time, stretching your

Number five:

imagination and making it more

Number five:

real in your mind's eye.

Number five:

Repetition is the key to mastery.

Number five:

If you rehearse over and over again

Number five:

a situation in which you deal

Number five:

with the emotion, you'll know

Number five:

exactly how to manage it next

Number five:

time it comes up in your life.

Number five:

Right, we've got to the end of page

Number five:

62.

Number five:

A lot in that, isn't there?

Number five:

A lot? But I think for me,

Number five:

he's hit on some really key points.

Number five:

And the thing is, is awareness

Number five:

is absolutely key.

Number five:

When we're aware and

Number five:

realise and analyse what

Number five:

we're feeling, we can look into the

Number five:

why behind it and decide

Number five:

whether it's appropriate to try and

Number five:

switch that emotion.

Number five:

I love what Vex says about

Number five:

repetition is key because it really

Number five:

is. Whenever we're trying to change

Number five:

any aspects of our life,

Number five:

it does take time and being

Number five:

kind on ourselves and not always

Number five:

expecting instant results

Number five:

and working out by trying different

Number five:

things. What serves us and what

Number five:

doesn't is so, so important.

Number five:

So, I hope you enjoyed that little

Number five:
