Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is Teddy Teapot. Hi guys, Happy New Year, and
not to put a big stinker on your resolutions, but
I'm here to talk to you about why eight percent
of New Year New Year's resolutions fail by February. Some
(00:25):
of the reasons why our goals aren't clear. You feel overwhelmed,
you feel discouraged, and you're not ready to change. Example,
if you're running a marathon, would you just do it
one day without working up to it. No, you would
actually train for it. We were in the place where
we want instant gratifications, so we set a grand goal
(00:46):
for the year, not thinking through the commitments and little
goals we need to do to actually reach them. If
if you don't set yourself up to succeed at these goals,
you will indeed slip, feel guilty, quit, and then be
bummed about it. I am super excited to be co
hosting today with Ed my Let. He is one of
the top fifty wealthiest under fifty and entrepreneur and believes
(01:08):
in fully maxing out at your life. Tell us a
little bit about yourself. Well, thank you, Teddy. I think
you said it pretty well. I'm barely under fifty anymore.
When that was written, I was way under fifty. But
I'm a life in business coach and I kind of
just I've decided to spend the second half of my
life helping people make their lives better. You know. I
spend almost all my time doing that now, as you know.
(01:29):
And you and your husband, Ed Winner a couple of
my dearest friends. So it's great to be here with
you today. Well, thank you, And so we're gonna I'm
gonna ask some questions to add but we're also going
to have Tanya rod On, who's going to talk to
us about vision boards, which I have a lot of
questions on. Well, I mean, I know tons of celebrities
do vision boards, but I have actually never done one.
And then we also have a life coach on uh
(01:51):
Shari Healy. So Ed, I've been super vocal about how
I feel about resolutions, which I don't make them because
I fully don't believe that if you make some goal
and you're saying I'm going to do this every day
for the rest of the year, you're setting yourself up
to fail. How do you actually feel? Well? I do both.
I set up stuff at the beginning of the year,
but I totally agree with you that if you have
(02:12):
some one year plan but you're not doing something short term,
you don't have a goal for every day or every week,
you're probably gonna break down. I actually teach a thing
called many days where I break my DAB day into
literally three days. Six am to noon is one full day,
noon to six pm is another day, and six pm
to midnight's the third day. So the more you shrink
time frames down of where you link your goals to,
the more likely you are to achieve them. So I
(02:34):
actually get twenty one days a week instead of seven,
which is a way of managing my time. That is
a huge difference for me in terms of productivity and
stay in focused on my goal. So I have long
term goals too, But the more you can shrink the
time frame you're totally right, the more like you are
to stay on them. Yeah. Like, I'll do my daily
three non negotiables, which are the things that I'm doing
no matter what. I also do my three daily goals,
(02:55):
which sometimes I won't get to those, and then I'll
know the next day, oh shoot, I need to move
that to a non oshiable for tomorrow because I can't
put off that phone call anymore. Or that decision to
let that person go or whatever it may be. Um,
you're really good at that, by the way, because I
know you and your outstanding. One little tip on that,
just to say everybody, is that you know you're gonna
check your smart phone about three fifty times a day.
(03:15):
If you're an achiever, it's like five hundred times a day.
So to keep yourself on track. Instead of your screen
saver being a picture of something that's from the past,
put on that screensaver those goals for the day and
you'll look at them three to five hundred times a
day and it programs it in your mind. Right. So
that's a huge tip that I do every single day.
My goals are on my phone, So three or fifty
times a day is like bang, bang bang bang, I'm
(03:36):
seeing these things that are important to me. That is
so smart because I'll put little um like timer reminders
like do this by this time. But that is so
every time I pick up my phone, I'm just looking
at nonsense. Yeah, And the reason that's so important, by
the way, those timers are huge to almost nobody teaches that.
So it's super cool that you're talking about that because
I do that too. I put timers through my day,
through my month, through my year, reminding me on stuff.
(03:57):
So that's a huge thing. And the other thing is,
here's the reason that's important. Your thoughts every single day
are identical to the previous day. You have nine percent
of your thoughts are variable every day. That's it. So
the difference in shifting your life is these nine percent
of your thoughts. What is it that you think differently
Tuesday than you thought on a Monday, And so that's
how you shift your life. The rest of them are
identical every single day. You speak the same exact it's
(04:19):
anxiety timing now today I know it is for you
and a little bit for me too. That's all right,
But yeah, that's how you change it. And what is
the best advice you could give someone vice that says, like, Okay,
new decade, I want to change X, Y and Z
by the by the end of the year. Huge thing
I would say to you is that, and we'll talk
about this later, is you're only going to be consistent
with what you believe your worth, which is your identity.
(04:39):
But here's the deal. Goal setting is really something that's
not evolved in like fifty years, and I'm writing about
it right now. The old goal setting ideas, hey write
your goals down, read them twice a day, read them
out loud, and have a reason why. Those are all
really powerful things. But it's like nineteen twenty Napoleon Hill stuff.
The modern version of it is this your You have
to have your thoughts and your feelings in alignment or
(05:00):
in congruency, so you have a conscious thought. Here's what
happens for most people there they think, which is your
conscious mind your body. What you feel is your unconscious mind.
So you write down all these things that you think
you want, except you're thinking of them, and the minute
you think that, you're in the same body as before,
the same feeling. Like I want to make a hundred
thousand dollars, I want to lose twenty pounds, but the
feeling is I'm not gonna do it. So your feelings
(05:21):
and your thoughts aren't in alignment or in congruency, You're
really not going to change you. So the way you
change you is to get your feelings in alignment with
your thoughts. So how do you do it really quickly?
A huge tip, and I'm writing about this right now,
is I coach a lot of athletes, as you know,
in their mental game, athletes are the best in the
world that achieving their goals. The reason is they do
these three things. Number One one, you have a thought
of the goal that you want, you have to get
(05:42):
your body in a peak state when you're having that thought.
So I want you to do one thing when you're
doing you're working out or yoga or stretching, or even
taking a shower. If you ever noticed, you're in the shower,
the water hits you, you're like in a better state.
You have better thoughts on the shower. That's because your
feelings have changed. So while you're in a forty five
minute work I'll give yourself the gift for two minutes
during that workout of going through the thoughts of what
(06:03):
your goals want to be and sinking it in your
body when it's in a peak state. And what happens
then is the feeling of achievement is already in the
body at the same time you think. And if you
do that over and over, you're rewiring your thoughts and
your feelings to be in alignment huge and which is
making yourself worth so much higher, and you're literally changing
you Otherwise you just think I want this. I want
this in the same body, same unconscious mind, you feel
the same way. The third element that athletes do a
(06:25):
great job is they visualize the goal happening as if
it's happened, and they, if you think about, they celebrate
the touchdown, they celebrate the home run, they celebrate the
field goal, whatever it is. So the third element is
get your thoughts and your feelings in alignment, So be
thinking your goals while you're moving your body. This is
a huge difference than reading them stagnant. And third, see
(06:46):
that happening and flood yourself with gratitude for the achievement
of something that hasn't existed yet. And the more you're
flooding yourself with the feeling of gratitude for the achievement
of it, your feelings and thoughts are in alignment, you
are remaking you. And that's how you actually manifest something.
As those three things combined, Yeah, you couldn't be more right.
Gratitude is key. When I wake up mornings and I'm like,
(07:06):
I can't believe I have to do this. I am
so irritated I have to do this. I'm in a
crap mood all day. I'm going through the motions motions
versus waking up saying I get to do this. Yes,
I am so grateful that I can get up, get
on this peloton bike, get my kids ready for school,
drop them up, like whatever it may be. Like, we
get to do these things, and we are in such
(07:28):
a better place than so many other people. And take
it for granted. You take it for granted, and then
also flood yourself with gratitude for the things you want
before you've received them. Trust me, that remakes It remakes
your cellular basis of who you think you are. So
I watch you do it. You're on that peloton, or
you're in the you're working out in the morning, and
I know you're thinking about your goals for that day.
(07:48):
Well you're doing it. Most people separate, they wake up,
they read their goals, so they think things when their
body is not in a peak state. Then they go
move their body. But don't think those thoughts link them
together and you start changing you. That'd be the hugest
thing you can give yourself the gift of. And if
you're exercise is just taking a walk. If you don't exercise,
do it in the shower because that water changes your
state and changes your feeling. That's such a good idea.
(08:10):
And I mean so often we're looking to others to
motivate us. And if if you're not willing to commit
to yourself, it doesn't matter what I say, what you say,
what anybody says, because then we're just stuck in our
own negative feelings of like who's going to do this
for me? Yeah, you're totally right, And that's like, that's
the lowest level motivation. Is someone else moving you. The
(08:31):
way you really change yourself is you don't even get
really what you want in life. You really get what
you believe you deserve, and you get your standards. So
if you can change your personal standards of what you
believe your worth or what you will accept from yourself,
that's when you won't need someone else to move you.
But if you don't change your standard, you don't change
your worth. That you're constantly looking at somebody that you
think is worth more than you to get you to
(08:52):
do something right, that's the problem. So I have a question.
So for me, when it came to changing my life,
I almost had to hit like a rock bottom where
I felt really alone, really sad, where I was just
like struggling, and I was at that place where like,
Who's going to do this for me? And finally I
was like, I this, I'm changing my life today. I
don't care what you say, what you do, what your
(09:13):
thoughts are. This is for me. But other than kind
of hitting that breaking point, how do people start elevating
their self worth? Yeah, so self worth is through keeping
the first off, the way you get self worth is
by getting self confidence. Self confidence is something you can
get right now. You can start building your self confidence
right now. Self confidence is the process of keeping the
promises that you make to yourself. That's all self confidences.
(09:35):
So when I meet somebody who doesn't have a lot
of confidence, because I've been there where I had none.
I had consistently not kept promises I made to me.
I didn't say on my nutrition plans, I didn't make
the amount of phone calls in my business I said
I would. I wouldn't even get up when I said
I was going to get up. I couldn't trust me.
Lack of self confidence is lack of self trust. And
so the more you just stack the day in your favor,
where you do the things you can control and keep
(09:56):
these promises you make to yourself, the more you begin
to transform yourself, often it's now you can go to
work on your identity and your worth, and your worth
is going to govern everything in your life. Your identity
is like the thermostat sitting on the wall in this room, right,
it's regulating the temperature in here. It's not the external
temperature outside that regulates this place. If it's eighty degrees outside,
it's still gonna be seventy four and here because the
(10:18):
thermostats set there, right. Most people think it's the external
things in their life. It's not at your internal thermostat,
your identity that governs everything. And the problem that people
have is that's why they gain weight back, that's why
they lose money they make, That's why relationships are good,
and then they're not good. If your identity is seventy
five degrees of happiness, let's just say, and life starts
to get better at eight five degrees, you will find
(10:39):
a way to unconsciously turn the air conditioning on cool
your life back to that regulated identity. Same thing as
if it goes bad, some of us gain a little
bit more weight than is what we really think we're worth.
We will heat our life back up and lose that
weight to seventy five degrees. So the whole key to
life is all the other stuff is great. You've got
to change that internal thermostat. How do you do it?
Two ways? One who you're around, the power of your associations,
who you listen, two on social media, the things you're reading,
(11:02):
and who your closest colleagues or friends are around you
every day supporting you. The second thing is, in a
short window of time, do something psycho seriously in a
short little window of time. Man, Okay, So like, um,
dramatically change something? So um. If for me in business,
if it was I was making three or four phone
calls a day, I'm gonna make fifteen a day. I'm
not talking about something that's not maintainable, like going to
(11:24):
the gym for three hours. But if you shock yourself
and you deliver on it, it's like a new water
mark in the pool. You're like, oh, that's not who
I am anymore. So little bursts of something really significant,
we've all had that happened. You've all had a couple
of little moments in your life at some point where bam,
something in a little window happened and you never went
back to that old person again. It changes your identity.
And so for me, I'm just feeding myself good People's
(11:45):
why to hang around you and your husband? Right, Like
people like that all in my life that are positive
to me. Like I'm not saying this, I was thinking
about it driving up here today. I really enjoy when
we're together. And I told you the other night we
were we went to a football game, Like, I want
to do this more like people that just feed your energy.
So many of you have people in your life that
deplete your energy. They drain you all the time. I know,
(12:05):
I never understand when people want to be around people
so that they can feel smarter than them, so they
can feel like they are in this higher place. I
want to constantly surround myself with people I can learn
from that make me laugh that I like, I can
talk to you and I am seriously engaged in conversation.
I know if I'm checked out from a conversation, it's
because I'm hanging around the wrong people. Bingo. See here's
(12:26):
every everyone says this to me. I just want people
to accept me for who I am. I don't want that. No,
I don't either want friends. I want people who expect
more of me than I currently am, but love me
as I am. And that's one of the best things.
And that's why I love your wife, And that's what's
so great about my husband, is like they're not going
to just let us sit there and be complacent wre
we are. And this is a common thing that everyone
(12:48):
always asked me, like how do you wake up just
excited to do it every day? And I'm like, I don't.
You are crazy if you think that is the case.
None of us are, no matter who it is that
you're listening to on you know, podcasts or social media
or whatever it is. We are waking up and making
the decision to fight for ourselves so huge. And I
think someone like you and me, if people knew us better,
(13:11):
and I know you talk a lot about it, I
tried to as well. I think the reason we seem
like we know more about this stuff as you and
I had to acquire these skills just to be like
baseline functional. Like when I was younger, I had no
confidence right, I couldn't communicate, I was a little guy.
I needed to get some of these skills just to
feel decent about myself. And then what happens. I got
addicted to learning how to be better. But you gotta
(13:31):
have a couple of friends. Everybody to make a little uncomfortable,
like like the type of friends that you know, maybe
you clean up before they come over the house, you
know what I mean, Like that you don't want them
to see you like you are all the time. And
I have a lot of those people. They love me,
but they expect more of me. I'm a little, tiny,
little scoch uncomfortable around them, and it makes me want
to be better. So that's how you start to change,
right And if you don't have those friends, then it's
(13:53):
picking two or three people on social media or podcasts
that you go, I'm gonna pour myself with this person.
They're gonna virtually mentor and affect me that way. And
I think it's also okay to show your vulnerability, Like
I could feel myself at the beginning of this podcast.
My voice was nervous because you were here today, and
I was like, Wow, why do I sound different than
I normally do at the intros? And I was like, Oh,
(14:14):
it's because I'm doing this with Ed. So instead of
having that moment where I don't ever want you to
see that. I want to say it to you because
then it takes that anxiety away from it. I've now,
I've told you there's no moment where you're going to
be like judging me or I don't have to think
what is ed thinking because I put it out there,
and so I think you do the same. Where if
(14:35):
you're just vulnerable, you take away so many elements in
your mind. Oh my gosh, so vulnerability. I love you. Um,
I mean, I like, I do this for free, hundred
days a year, right, Like this is great for me.
So vulnerability, you know, like they say they just say, hey,
pot is a gateway drug. Whether that's true or not,
I don't know, right, but they used to say that
a vulnerability is a gateway emotion. Vulnerability magnifies and gives
(14:58):
you access to way more magnify fight emotions on the
other side, If you'll just be vulnerable with yourself and
with other people on the other side of that is
more connection is more, joy is more, love is more, achievement,
more significance. The lack of vulnerability kind of hiding in
your fears. It's robs you from all the things you
really want. So I am a vulnerable person like I
do deal with insecurity. I am pretty introverted naturally, right.
(15:20):
I don't know if it's natural or I learned it,
but I have all kinds of screwed up. If you
knew how screwed up my mind was, you probably never
listen anything I said. Right, So, so I like that
you do that, and when we're together, we do it too.
So I'm a huge fan of vulnerability, and I think
what happens if you're not vulnerable, then you end up
putting up a shell and people see that then they
can't relate to. And uh, I know Ed and I
(15:42):
are on a roll, and like you can't quite get
us to be quiet when when we're on a roll.
But we do need to take a little break. And
when we come back, we're gonna have Tanya rad who
I love, love love. She is on scrubbing In with
Becca Telly, and she is hilarious and smart and such
a good person. I can not wait to hear about
her vision boards. All right, I know we have more
(16:10):
questions for Ed, but first we've got to talk to
my girl Tanya. I love her. Hi are you here? Hi,
I'm here. How's it going? Babes? You're on with me
and ed my lab. Great to have you. Hi, thanks
for having me. Okay, so we need I need I
know all of the celebs love the vision boards. I've
(16:33):
actually never done a vision board, so I need you
to walk us through it. I also I'm going to
grill you on like what's on your vision board? Um,
that's like actually surprises me that you've never made a
vision board because this is like so you maybe you'll
make it me. Let's see. Okay, so basically what you
do and this is how I do what you can
(16:54):
do anyway, but this is the way that I found
it to be. Like the most successful is I think
of like one word that I want to embody for
the year. So I just really like think about that
word and I'm really intentional about that word. And then
I like make all my gold and like aspirations, and
then you basically just kind of find photos and I
make sure I put the word really like prominent on
(17:15):
the board, and then like photos and images that kind
of represents like different goals that you have. What would
you recommend to somebody just starting out, you know, like me,
like I journal, I'm very into journaling, But what would
you recommend to somebody just to get started. How do
you even find your word? Just think about, like think
about something that maybe you you just really want to
(17:39):
filter every decision that like in your life, you know
what I mean, Like a word that is kind of
encompasses the path that you want for like the year.
It can be an easy word, like even if it's
just happiness, you know what I mean, what I'm doing
whatever makes you happy for that year. Um, if you
want it to be something like if you want more confidence,
have your word be confident, you know, like something that
(18:00):
you feel like you just want more of in your life. Tanya,
I love this one word strategy. I've heard vision boards
and I've heard about the one word strategy, but I've
not heard them put together ever before. I just think
it helps kind of just point like I think sometimes
vision boards can be overwhelming. It's like, oh, you see
a picture of somebody on vacation, Like, oh, I want
to go on vacation, so I'll put that on there.
(18:20):
But it's like because I can ask to my radiance
of the year, like maybe not, you know, so big
time agree. I love vision boards, but one of the
things is you've got like something for your relationship, something
for money, something about where you want to live. And
it's just sort of this hodgepodge of some something you
look at. But if it's intentional, like the way you're
describing it, I love that. So everything on your board,
(18:41):
just so everyone's kind of taking a starge of everything
on the board is reflected somehow for this word that
you have for the year. And then how often do
you look at this thing? And where do you keep it?
So I keep mine in my kitchen so I see
it every single day, and then at the end of
the year, I'll like move that one in. So I
have a collection I've been making instance, like I've been
making it for a topic thing for seven years, so
(19:02):
I keep them all. And what's really interesting is like
sometimes and maybe I don't get like achieve a goal
that here, but I'll achieve it like two or three
years later, and that's kind of like cool to see
kind of how long it takes or like you know
what I mean, Like dreams, the goals that you have
might not happen in here, but like they happen eventually. Big, Yeah,
it's happened for me to like three years later, I'm like, well,
I set this thing up in two thousand and eighteen
(19:24):
or whatever. So the thing that this does so well
I want everyone to kind of get and I want
you to speak to this too, is that most people
get the same emotions every day. So if you're somebody
who finds gratitude and happiness in peace, you sort of
find a way to use your word, which is brilliant.
The world is filtered to you to find you those things.
It's called the reticular activating system right in your brain.
(19:45):
And then but what most people or the other ones
you get anxiety, worry, fear, anger, and those are the
emotions you get every day. The awesome thing about this
when you combine this one word with the board, is
you're telling yourself I'm gonna find gratitude or I'm gonna
find happiness or I'm gonna find radiance every single day.
You're actually taking control the emotions have you found. Because
of this, you see more of that stuff, at least
(20:07):
on a weekly basis than you did before. Like you
see it, I think so, And I mean, I mean,
I'm human and so like obviously some days I have
days that like I'm not radiant, you know what I mean,
especially when I'm pre period, like I'm pretty not radiant.
I think at the end, at the end of the day,
I think I really do kind of just like focus
on that and I kind of think like whatever I'm doing,
(20:29):
I don't just do things to do them. I do
them with perfect you know what I mean. I think
that's at a good point. Yeah, that helps a lot.
And do you can you add to it? So like
you make your board, but let's say your three months
into the year and you're like, wow, how did I
miss this? Or it's like once it's up, it's done,
I think. So, I mean, I think you can always
(20:50):
add to it. I usually don't just because I cover
my board and I'm kind of like a meat break,
so I don't want to touch it when it's done.
But I have added things, so like sometimes i'll right
like right goals on the back of my board, like
with like my handwriting. You know, no, I think it's
so great And how did you how did you start?
Like who was the person that told you about it?
(21:12):
Or where did you read it? So if we have
listeners who want to start doing it, they've listened to
this podcast, but they're like, Okay, I still need more
information or I want to see picture examples or whatever
it is. Where should they go? Um? Well, I started
doing it because a girlfriend of mine um did it
one year and like literally she manifested her board like
it was crazy. And so that was kind of and
(21:35):
like I went through a really bad breakup and I
just kind of felt like I was just kind of
very like I was living my life in a hamster wheel,
like I wasn't doing anything intentional. I was just kind
of living my life and I wanted more purpose. So
it kind of felt like the perfect Like what's the
word synergy of everything? Um? So I started doing them
at that time, and I think I have a bunch
(21:55):
of like examples. I posted them on my blog on
on it with Ryan dot Com for the Morning Show.
So I have like tons of pictures of like my
past vision boards and stuff like that up there. Super cool.
I Uh, I love that word synergy. So I want
to ask you something about maybe an idea on this
because you use words I love like intentional and awareness, right,
Like it changes your intention when you're just more aware,
Like hey, I'm gonna be radiant, I'm gonna be happiness,
(22:17):
I'm gonna be joy I'm gonna be powerful whatever that
thing is. What about like, and I'm curious because I
I've done vision boards, but what if a group of women,
for example, want to get together and have an evening
where they do this together and they sort of you know,
mastermind and brainstorm together and talk out loud about some
of their intentions. Or do you think this is something
you should do personally in a quiet place by yourself. Um,
(22:40):
I've actually seen so. I feel like a lot of
people will post like their vision board parties and tag
me in it because I'm so vocal and like so
like with such a big thing for me. So they
have like some girls do, they do um cheese boards
and vision boards, so they're like have a bunch of
girls come together and like have cheese and wine and
like get like a fun thing and go through magazines
(23:01):
and cut them out. I think it's important to like
have a conversation with yourself and kind of figure out
your golden things on your own. But I think making
an actual board is super fun to do with people.
Maybe we should have do a double host and we'll
have one with Teddy te pot and scrubbing in and
we'll do a little vision boarding. I love it. I
(23:22):
literally like, I love it so much, to the point where,
like a lot of my New Year's these plans have
been making vision boards with some of my friends. Well good, well,
don't leave me out of that. Thank you so much
for taking the time to talk with us today, and
I'll just be texting you after to set it up.
You're so welcome. I love you so much. I'm sorry
I couldn't see that person. I have to get to
(23:43):
my dentist. I know, I know. Well, we'll see you soon, okay,
I love you, love you. So now we're gonna bring
on Sharie Healy and she's a possibilitarian, you know everything
at what's that? I don't know what that is? All right,
but she's gonna tell us. Wait a bit, all right,
(24:11):
now we're getting Shari he Leon. She is a possibilitarian,
which I need to learn what that is exactly. But
she's also an amazing life coach. Hello, you are on
with myself and Ed my lett. Hey, great to have
you so first. We love the way it sounds, but
(24:31):
I don't exactly know what it means. Can you explain
what a possibilitarian is? Yes, it's somebody who believes that
anything is possible and we'll stop it nothing to help
you go what you want. Well, I like that. I
like that, and I get a lot of kind of
push back from people because I help people change their
(24:51):
life when it comes to UM fitness and their exercise
routines and their diet, and people are always calling me
a life coach, and I'm like, I'm not necessarily a
life coach, but when you're feeling good about yourself, you
start changing other things in your life. Can you explain
to me about what a life coaches? Yeah, I mean
I think you're right like that. We get you know,
(25:14):
everybody's trying to decide what sector of life are we
in charge of or how are we helping cause change?
And I think the simplest definition for a life coach
of somebody who helps you get from where you are
to where you want to be, you know. And I
didn't specialize in on one area, like you are so
successfully helping people change their bodies and their health, and
(25:36):
I feel like I really look across the board at
all the areas of life, so that's where I might
fall more, you know, effectively in that with that label
as life coach, because I'm looking at stuff across the boards,
from body to relationships to work to all of it. Shari,
what do you think? I'm curious because you cross all
(25:56):
those different spectrums. Underneath all that someone comes to you for,
you know, something on their body, or there's something bothering
them in their mind, or they want to achieve something.
What do you think underneath that they really want? You
know what I mean, Like, they what they think they want,
and then there's what they really want. Best question ever, Yeah,
I think that we were born, all of us to
experience love and joy. I have never been able to
(26:21):
get anybody to argue with me on that, because I
think we all want it, you know, and we think
if we make just you know, the next million, or
if we use the weight, or if we you know,
do all these things, that somehow will be loved and
we'll be happy. I'm so glad you said that, because
I think everybody listen to this. You know, there's the
things you think you want, but then if you dig
a little bit deeper, why do you really want them?
The more you can get to the root of what
(26:42):
you actually want, the more you can get clear on
getting it. So that's that's awesome answer. You're right, because
you could tick off all those boxes and still not
be happy if you don't know how to get that Now.
I'm way more interested in helping people crack the code
on those things without having achieved the other outward staff
(27:02):
and then know of it. Yeah, when you get that
house on the see, you know, you already know how
to happy with the one in town, you know, so
you'll be great. And oftentimes on our route to get
what we want or we think we want, we talk
to ourselves so terribly. How do you teach people to
up their self talk and like, what are some things
(27:25):
that they can do to change it? That's the truth, man.
I think that is where I spend a lot of
time because you can like I'm doing this with a
lot of clients right now setting out for twenty and
designing the year and thinking about what we want and
and I say to them, You've got to figure out
which part of you is in charge first, Like, if
(27:46):
I'm going to go about reaching any goal and my
relationships or my worker and with my body or my
well being in general, I've got to figure out what's
the most resourceful part of me that when things get
to us and I don't want to keep going that
I don't struggle with, you know, the little girl inside,
(28:07):
or the critic or all those different parts of ourselves
that might throw us off the path. So I think
we start with the negative self talk when we're really little.
And it could be that we've internalized the parents voice,
or we had a particular moment where there was a
lot of shame or pain, and that voice becomes a
(28:28):
way of survival for us. So we try to avoid
pain by causing pain. And it doesn't make a lot
of logical sense, but that's because it's in the reptilian brain, right,
it's in the stress center that we developed this way
of causing pain to ourselves before anyone else. Can you know?
It was so good one thing about the way to
(28:49):
ask you on that because I let you get on
something huge there. You're not born unhappy, right, You kind
of learn this behavior in these thoughts. And you said
something so profound right there, that little girl, And oftentimes,
you know, it's my my belief that you're learning these
thoughts and these behaviors from things you inherited from your
parents or experiences that happened when you're kind of defenseless
(29:11):
emotionally as a child, right, And I think it's important
because tell me if you agree with this, because that
lets you know that you can learn your way out
of it too. It's not something you were You know
we weren't. You're not an unhappy person. You've learned to
be unhappy. Don't you think you nailed it? I mean,
the day we learned about neural plasticity was like the
greatest day ever because we know that this stuff can
(29:31):
be changed. And why the possibilitarian right, Because I know
this stuff can be slipped. And it's by recognizing at
first and making the choice that I don't have to
buy this anymore. I'm not here to struggle. And that
that voice I liken it to, like, you know, depending
on when you were software, Like you've got an app
(29:54):
on your desktop that's old and you can literally update
it and decide to identify more with the voice that
comes from your heart, Like your heart would never talk
to you like that, so you put your hand on
your heart. I don't know if you guys have heard
about heart math, but it's a great hack. I'm all
about little tools and ways that we can make change
(30:17):
happen quickly and the heart masks if you put your
hand on your heart and you kind of just gently
push in and rub in a circle for three minutes.
In three minutes, either it's a biochemical reaction that has
you move right out of that critics voice, right out
of the little girl or whatever part of you've been threatened,
(30:39):
and get right back into your high self. And just
three minutes. That is such a good tool. Yeah, and
what if hand, what if the negative self talk isn't you,
it's somebody in your life. So it's your husband or
it's your boss, and they are just constantly on you
(31:00):
and you're doing your best to you know, elevate yourself,
to elevate your mood. But this person is just you know, relentless.
Oftentimes my clients, that will be their biggest reason to
quit because my husband isn't happy that I'm changing my life.
Oh yeah, that's a rough one. You know. There's an opportunity,
(31:21):
I think with everyone to stop and say, hey, I
got I don't want to have this kind of relationship
or this kind of communication isn't serving us. Do we
want to do something different? And I think you know,
when you get into a relationship with somebody who's also
in survival mode, who's in that fight or flight, and
(31:41):
you have to relate to them from that place. It's
their communication ways, right, their tools. We could say, hey,
let's take a minute, we could practice non violent communication,
or I feel statements and just recognize this person is
hurt and I believe hurt people hurt people, right, So
if this person and it can't deal with their hurt
(32:01):
or can't take responsibility for the fact that they're always
communicating from a fight or fight place, then there's going
to have to be boundary setting because you can't have
somebody on one side who's doing all this hard work
trying to go for the love and joy and be
thwarted at all turns, you know, and not have that
(32:22):
experience because somebody else just doesn't have the skills to
treat them. Well. Yeah, I second that I asked people.
I could ask that question often too. And you know,
one of the things that I don't know that my
wife's always agreed with all the different things I've tried
to do. In fact, I know she didn't believe in
them right some of them, but she's always believed in me.
And I think that sometimes in these relationships, if you're
(32:44):
getting that one, you should never tolerate it. We don't
say this enough. Don't tolerate that you treat you teach
people how to treat you. And the more and more
you tolerate, and except that you're going to continue to
get it. There's just has to be someone in this
space go no, don't tolerate that. That's it. You shouldn't
be with that person if they talk to you like that.
And I think one of the ways that you uncover
and I'm a trying to be black and white, I'm
about breaking up a marriage. But one of the power
questions to ask your spouse is, I know you don't
(33:04):
believe in this program I'm on, or maybe you don't
agree in this believe in this business, but do you
believe in me? Because if you can't give me the
y s to believing in me, we don't have a relationship.
And so if you can get back to that pharament,
yes I believe in you, Yes I love you, but
I've got some differences with some of the choices you're making. Well,
now you can have an elevated conversation, and so I
think that's a powerful question. To ask somebody when they're
(33:25):
treating you that way is just stop it. Move it
off of the business or the weight loss program or
the transformation you're on, and pull it back to you.
Do you love and believe in me? And you'll get
your answer the en. If it's a loving and believing answer,
now you've got the basis to have that elevated conversation.
If it's a I don't know, then you guys are
in a dangerous space in your relationship and you need
to be evaluating it. At least I think there's a great,
(33:46):
you know way to just tiny shift, but it could
change everything. To listen curiously, listen to learn. If your
partner is getting triggered by your change, to stop and say, hey,
this is bringing up for you, just get curious, and
the same thing for the partner who's threatened by you
making changes, to wonder and go in with. I may
(34:10):
not agree or disagree, but that again is repilian. That's
like in our DNA to just agree or disagree. It's
a survival way of listening. Where I was more interested
in a conscious level of listening, saying babe, what is
this new program giving you? Why are you proving this change,
tell me what's in it. If we can just get
curious about each other, we can always stay connected. It
(34:30):
doesn't have to be I agree or disagree. I just
want to know you. And I think something that often
happens when you're in a relationship for a long time,
if your partner has consistently seen you not follow through,
then they start losing trust in you. And I know
that's actually something that used to happen with me. I
used to say I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this,
and then I wouldn't and it became something where when
(34:53):
I ended up actually saying changing my life, I know
that Edwin was like, yeah, okay, sure, but I had
to have enough confidence in myself to say, listen, I
actually don't really care what you think in regards to this.
I love you, but this time I'm for real and
when you see that, you'll get on board. That's good
(35:14):
And truthfully, it took a while. I mean I did this.
I started blogging every day for a year with absolutely
no reward other than feeling better and changing my life
before I started a business, before anything shifted. But it's
just that confidence of saying I can do this and
I can do it every single day, then all of
(35:35):
a sudden, all your relationships start to check. I totally
agree with you. Yeah, and at the root of it
all to you know, I think you all agree with
me on this too, as long as they do love
you and they do believe in you what they're really
feeling most of the time. And I think if you're
listening for this, you'll maybe act somewhat more sympathetically or empathetically.
It sounds crazy to say, but they're afraid you're leaving them,
like at the root of the root, at the root
(35:56):
of the root, right, like if you go all the
way back we talked earlier about what do you really want?
More happiness and bliss. At the root of the root,
that lack of support is you're leaving me. And they
literally configurately mean that, like you're the person I love
is changing that woman, that man's the leading me? Or
maybe they're outgrowing me? What if they're better than me?
And then all of their insecurities and comparison killing joy
(36:16):
once again? Yeah, what happen? You know, we have two
primary fears that were all also word with that we
come in with that I won't be enough and I
won't be loved And you're totally chipping that up in
your partner, right, I'm curious about happy. Yeah, I mean
we're both in alignment with you on that. And the
(36:38):
thing that you do that I think is brilliant that
I want to hone in because I just think it
will help so many people is when you're not getting
that support from these secondary places in your relationships, can
you create support for yourself? So talk about strategies where
you can create external support for yourself when you're not
getting it from your partner. What are some of the
things that you recommend somebody do to give themselves support
(36:59):
when they're not getting it from someone else. Yeah, this
is it. It's the intersection of two things, and these
two things, when you can design your life around these
two things, you become your highest self. So I would
say most free version like most powerful version of yourself,
and it's at the intersection of getting what you need
(37:19):
and what you want what would make you happy that
if you going into or any day on any day
are thoughtfully thinking about asking for and getting what you need.
And this goes back down like a lot of people
actually don't know what they need so if I quickly
break down this stems from human needs psychology and that
(37:41):
we all have six basic human needs. And people always
want to think these are Maslow's hierarchy, but they're not.
It's six human needs that I swear we should have
been taught when we were into the garden and would
have solved a lot of problems for us. If we
get these six, we are golden and everything that happens
around us we can respond to from a high self place,
(38:03):
you know, not from that fear based um side or
flight survival place. So the six human needs, you can
look this up or paying me and I'll send it
to you. It's certainty, uncertainty, significance, love slash connection, growth,
and then contribution slash celebration. So if you're thinking about
(38:24):
those things and you're asking your partner like you know,
when you talk to me like that, it doesn't give
me a lot of certainty. Makes me really scared. It's
so crazy that you're saying that, because not only do
you say that, I just read my let's book and
he says that. So guys, obviously there's something. There's something
really to the magical connection here today. I love it.
(38:46):
Would you agree with me though, if you're honing in
on those six needs, because you sound like you're an
expert on this too. Of all those six needs, love
and connection, significance. We different people have different needs, but
we all have two of them. No matter what, we
all want to grow and all have this need to contribute.
And one of the things that as I read more
and more about you, that I love is you talking
(39:07):
about getting outside of yourself and contributing to others is
a way to find more of your own happiness and fulfillment.
Correct big time. It seems that everybody who has attracted
to working with me wants to make the world a
better play and the zero in the top two needs,
we need all six. But if you use them like
radio dials, and you said, I'm just going to make
(39:28):
growth and contribution my top two at all costs, I'm
gonna go for those, you get all the others without
even tract. And what do you say to people who
are kind of pessimists And they're like, oh, well, if
you're a life coach, then you must be perfect and
your life must be great. And you know, I can
only take advice from somebody who's you know, living at
a ten x every single day, Like what are your
(39:50):
answers to that? Yeah? So it's like perfect that I'm
in this career because you know, you're teaching what you
need to learn it usually in life, and I am
like a recovering perfectionist. I grew up with parents who
had really our expectations, and I had our expectations, and
I got really rewarded for being amazing and you just learned.
(40:12):
I think women are even more inclined to be people
pleasers and you know, check all the boxes. And I'm
just one of those higher chievers. And I literally had
to take my shoulders down and like really just give
myself hall passes on the daily to be human, to
(40:32):
be where I'm at, to know that I'm figuring it
out right alongside my clients and everyone else, and just enjoy,
like if I'm all about the joy man, and I've
got to just I allow that, you know. And so
I tell people wholeheartedly where I'm at. I tell them
stories all the time as we're working together, because I
(40:53):
think we learned best by stories. And I share all
the fails and all the places where I'm still learning,
and I try to just you know, have like armfuls
of tools that help and we practice some together. Well,
I can't thank you enough. I think that our listeners
are getting so much from you, and if they want
to find out more, how do they find you? Oh,
(41:14):
you're so awesome. It's just Shari Healy dot com. And
I'll do a quick spell because it's sorry to about
the H E R I E H E A L
E Y. And I'm on Instagram as the Luminaries because
I think we're all to say, giant forces of light
on the planet and that's what I'm here to just
remind people of. Well, thank you so much for taking
(41:35):
the time. You're awesome, Sari. Oh my god, you guys
are thanks so much. It was great talking to you. Bye.
So we gotta take one more little break and then
can I grow you some more? Ed? All right, So
(41:56):
now that we've talked to a life coach, we've talked
to somebody who does vision boards manifesting what they want?
What is your mindset for when you set a goal
and it doesn't go through. I'm very familiar with that.
For me, it's usually delayed. We talked a little bit
about that with Tanya, where some of them end up
coming back later. Um, you know, I don't think there's
(42:16):
anything wrong with missing a goal, right. I think I'd
rather shoot for something big and miss it. And having
said that, if you have a whole bunch of goals
and you keep missing them, you need to shrink those
goals into shorter time frames and more realistic things you achieve, right,
Because the most important things you start building this reputation
with yourself that you get the things done that you
say that you're going to do. But sometimes the pursuit
of a goal, I'll be honestly, I've had a few
(42:36):
goals in my life before where the closer I got
to them, I realized they didn't serve me. And so
what Sometimes you're not going to get a goal that
you've set up because there's something bigger or different that
would serve you more in that moment. I'm you know,
you and I are both people of faith, and sometimes
our plans are wonderful and sometimes God sometimes God has
different plans in our life. If you believe in the
quantum field, which I believe in both, sometimes the universe
(42:57):
is going to pull you in a different direction. As
you know, different people enter your vibrational field, and so
I'm open to life. I don't want everything in my
life to be completely predictable. That'd be boring. And you're
open to pivot. Yeah, I'm open to pivot. I'm open
to surprises. And you know what, sometimes disappointment isn't so bad.
What happens to us in our goals is usually a
lot of times we set goals up, like when you
were saying a bottom losing your weight, right, what it is,
(43:19):
it's very painful. Here's the rub. Maybe you need to
lose fifty pounds. Let's say for most people, they have
that fifty pound pain. I got to lose the fifty
and they lose fifteen or twenty of it, and now
it's not quite so painful to be the thirty five
pound overweight person, and they lose that drive and ambition.
So that's why it's important to keep setting weekly and
daily goals because that initial stimulus is depleted as you
(43:41):
get further away from it. Which is why I always
say it's a lifestyle change, not a diet, because I
did years and years of dieting never works. It wasn't
until I finally said, okay, now what I am changing
my life? And now everybody in my life will know
about it. I'm not going to hide it in this
dark little area of my of my you know, inner
(44:01):
being and try to protect people from it. I'm going
to put it out there and that people that love
me are going to go on this lifestyle change with me.
One thing about you, I just tell your audience like
it's super real. It's super annoying. Whether I mean, I
don't live with you every day, so it's not that
annoying with enough to ask godwin, but but I've I'm
around you enough to know it's very real, like this
(44:22):
is your lifestyle, you are, you know, oftentimes in any
space where people are giving advice or coaching or being vulnerable,
I think it's just important that I stampick. Let me
tell you I'm around her, she's this way. And the
cool thing about being around you because I'm also someone
who kind of prides myself on doing what I say,
But I do find myself behaving better in some of
these areas when I'm around you or people like you,
because it's like you make me want to live up
(44:43):
to that standard that I've set for myself. So it's
important and I think that goes back to what you
were saying earlier. You know, like, as long as you
are showing up for yourself, as long as you're surrounding
yourself with people that lift you up and that you
want to do better when you're around, you're setting yourself
up for success. And I'm going to tell you something.
It is going to take time. And you know, we
(45:04):
oftentimes talk about the power of yes, but the power
of no is also very important. Yeah, that's a fact.
That's probably my bigger deal is my ability to say no.
That's the thing for me in both of the know
when it's good food and I want to eat healthy,
but also just like in my personal life, I have
a hard time saying no to people in general, like
when they asked me to do things for them or
a commitment that I'm making. I found lately I started
(45:26):
to say no to some things. That empowers you too.
You don't have to say yes to everybody for everything
all the time. Yeah, because then if you're I know,
for myself, if I say yes to something I don't
want to do, I go in and I have asset
and then I feel bad and then I worry about
how they feel, and I'm like, you know, what. It
would have been a lot better if I just said, hey, sorry,
I can't do that. Um. So I have another thing
that I kind of want to dig into. What is
(45:47):
the day in the life of Ed? My life? Like
I know, with myself, I'm very ritual, ritualistic. I wake
up at a certain time, I journal, I work out,
I make sure you know, I do my non negotiables.
I you know, set my intentions for the day, and
I make sure it happens. I find this is often
true for most people. So we're so similar. I'm super lazy.
(46:11):
So if you left me and undisciplined, so so if
you left me to my own devices, I would be
a zoo. So I had to come up. Here's here's
my kind of whole philosophy. If I control the first
thirty minutes of my day, and I have some control
over the last thirty minutes of my day, the probability
of me having some control over the middle of it
is increased. So I still have lots of days that
are up and down and good and bad, and every
(46:32):
day is different. But what's never different is the first
thirty minutes of each of my days and the last
thirty minutes of each of my days extremely ritualized. So
like when I wake up, thought about this in my
book and on my podcast, But I wake up, I
certainly have a prayer and meditation. Time I do a
cold plunge. People ask me why do you do a
cold plunge. Here's why I do. At number one, it
because you flight or flight, you're completely awake and you
(46:52):
know what. It's difficult to do. And I'm already starting
my day doing something most people are unwilling to do.
And in my little brain, I'm going I'm doing things
other people aren't willing to do. I deserve to get
things they're not going to get, So I do that.
I have a gratitude exercise. Who do I love? What
am I grateful for? Who loves me? I go through that,
I do some stretching, and then I do my workout.
The biggest change for me in to hear is I
(47:13):
stopped checking my phone the first thirty minutes of the day.
Hardest damn thing in the history of the world to
do and the best thing that will change your life.
Because in life, there's a syntax, there's a context. You
are either someone who responds all day long or dictates
and if you're a responder, you will be in the
middle to the bottom of happiness in life and achievement.
And when you grab your phone first minute you look
at it, what are you doing responding to everybody else's
(47:35):
demands and stimulus. You're saying, this is make me all
sweaty and bothered right now. There's really nothing on your
phone that can't wait thirty minutes when you wake up,
even though in your brain you go, oh my gosh,
everyone's dying. Because what I do is I wake up,
I do my first work things, and then I go
do my journal in my alone time. But I do
I do feel that need to get up and get
it done. By the way, for somebody else, what's the
(47:56):
number one thing? Let's go into little Teddy's brain here
her life. What the number one thing? If you could
eliminate one emotion? Because I know, I think I know
what it is that you have mostly that you wish
you didn't have as much of What is it? Anxiety?
You know it is, and that would what you would say.
And part of that is when you wake up. Not
to get really technical, but you're in a certain brain
flow state at that time, in your beta state, which
is your flight or flight? You did it since we
(48:17):
were cave women and cave men. You're supposed to be
able to wake up and what's wrong. That's the first
thing you're supposed to do. And so when you combine
that with grabbing a phone and then there's all the
stuff you gotta worry about, you sort of wired yourself
every single day for that. Yeah, so it's something to consider.
It's so hard even though I'm trying to you know,
I'm trying to set the tone by picking my quote
or doing whatever it is that I'm doing for um,
you know my clients, but I do wait to start
(48:39):
taking care of me. So I that is going to
be one of my non negotiable good Um. And what
would you tell someone who feels stuck or like they're
lacking any drive to make any changes, but they're stuck
and they're unhappy. Yeah, that's a pattern. It's not who
you are. It's a pattern you've fallen into. So that
is not you. Okay, that's the most important thing to accept.
(49:01):
You are not someone who's in a rut. You are
not an unmotivated person. You're in a pattern. Okay, And
so what we need to do is break that pattern.
And probably one of the ways that you could easily
break it the most is to begin to take control
of your reticular activating system, which is what you see.
Just begin to tell yourself what you'd like to see.
There's this part of your brain. It's the filter for
your whole life. It feels literally, it's the filter for
(49:21):
your damn life. It's in the frontal lobe of your brain,
and it's it's what. That's why I like, say you
buy a brand new car, you buy a blue van.
All of a sudden, you see blue vans everywhere all
over the road, three lanes over go in the other direction.
They were always there. Why do you see them now?
Because they're in your awareness? Okay, it's uh. If you
go into a room and there's names being yelled out,
that's noise auditory that blends into the abyss. Unless it's
(49:43):
your name across the room, someone says teddy, you can
hear it in a room of other voices. So if
you could begin to make the things you hear and see,
the blue vans and your own name in your life,
which is the things that you want if you and
that's just by starting to really program it and really
begin to think it. That's number one thing I would
say to you. Start to take control of that filter.
And then the second thing is this, just try to
(50:04):
take for a minute and inventory of what your gifts are.
What's something you're gifted at? And you go nothing not true.
Every human has two or three of them that could
be the gift for kindness, patience, honesty, integrity, intensity, your math, skills,
your humor, your beauty, your intellect, whatever it is, right,
your problem solving, right, your concern, you're nurturing. All of
(50:25):
you have two or three skills. The way out of
your pattern, the way to get motivated is to begin
to identify your two or three gifts and you have them,
I promise you, okay, and then begin to think, how
can I start to use these gifts just to help
other people? And if you do that, you'll get out
of you and into someone else. You're into you too much,
you being unmotivated. The last thing I'll tell you is
the most egotistical and selfish thing you could possibly do,
(50:48):
because it completely indicates you're all about you. And I
know you're a good person. I know you don't see
it that way, but if you have no motivation, no
inspiration in your life. You're not about other people. Start
to get into the service of other people, start to
think about your gifts, start to think about how you
could serve people. They're little things everybody like maybe when
you get into an elevator, what if you became that
person that everybody in around you anonymously you set a
(51:08):
quick prayer for them. You just set a prayer for people,
Will peace be with you in your own mind, in
your own heart. You'll begin to trance and not for
them to hear it, so then they can then validate
for your good behavior. Yeah, no, I mean I can't
agree more with you. I think, yes, I you know,
originally it took me taking the steps to say I'm
going to change my life. But creating this business and
(51:29):
now watching other people change their life is the only
reason I am able to continue and stay with it. Yeah,
and you do. And a couple of your gifts now
that we know each other, is a you genuinely love
and care about people. It's it's a gift that is
a gift. Most of you just slough thatt off that
you have it. Not everybody's that way, folks. So if
that's a gift of yours. That's a gift to take inventory.
(51:51):
The second thing is you have a very unique based
on your background. It's very unique. Your level of humility
and your level of honesty are two of your greatest gifts.
Teddy and you combine. You're wanting to really make a
difference for other people, your humility and you didn't need
to be the ways you were raised your background now
with what you're doing now, and then how really brutally
honest of a person you are. Those are three incredible gifts.
(52:15):
And when you're the happiest, you're utilizing those three gifts
with your children, with Edwin, with your coaching. That's when
you're the happiest, and all of you will be the
happiest when you identify those gifts that you take for
granted because you have them, you think everybody has them,
because you have made millions of dollars with them, you
devalue their worth, right and also appreciating other people's gifts
like what ed just did right there, not a lot
(52:38):
of people do. So the fact that he could go
out there point out my gifts without expecting anything in return,
because that is what feeds him. So I think that
in closing, what we can talk about when it comes
to New Year's resolutions and changing our lives and sticking
true to our goals. It's really just about us. It's
(52:59):
not because it's it's not because New Year knew you.
It's because you are making a commitment to you. You
love your life, you want your life to be grand,
and you want to be in charge of your own life. Um.
Any closing remarks you have for everybody, No, I love
you and I appreciate you have them here today. And

some kind of in service to them anytime, I can
