Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is porn Talk. He was your host, Eric Zuzak.
Welcome back to porn Talk. This is powerful. Eric. I'm
with our guest Sean Murphy. Welcome back, Sean. We were
continuing our conversation from last week. If you weren't with us,
(00:24):
go back and listen to that. But Sean is a
licensed brain trainer. He's a neuro encoding specialist. What is
that we'll find out and he talks about how to
actually change the hardware, not just the software of your brain,
but the hardware. So welcome back, Sean.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's good to be here. Eric. I'm excited. I really
enjoyed our conversation last week, and I would encourage people
it's one of those things to go back. Well I'll
just listen to this one. You're gonna miss out on
some vague secrets if you do that, So just throwing
that out there.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So we had talked about some of the challenges with addiction,
but how what what things can we do? What are
some practical steps that we can do. If the person
that's listening to this right now, but this person is
really deep into their addiction, it's it's porn, sex, or
(01:25):
or drugs, alcohol, what are some practice. They're working on
the software part of their brain now by listening to
the podcast. But changing the hardware is frankly kind of
a new thing. It's for me on changing the hardware.
(01:46):
So how do we do that?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
So one of the things in changing the hardware is
actually giving your subconscious permission. There's something called SVT subconscious
visualization technique, And when you do that, the challenges is
most people when they want to go in and meditation,
some of you have been told to meditate. Some of
you have been told, you know, close your eyes and
picture a wonderful scene. The challenge with that is that
(02:08):
we have the voices of these other identities that scream us.
So here, let me give you an example. If you
do follow, if you do want to have a little experiment,
and you're in a safe place right now, you can
close your eyes and imagine a stage. Some of you
are afraid of public speaking, I get it. This is
just all of the voices in your head. I'd ask
(02:30):
you right now, who's listening to this podcast? Who's listened
to the previous episodes of this podcast for weeks and
weeks and weeks and years, and who now is listening
to it now if you had to name that identity
who's on stage. See, Because when we have these issues
of I'm just so mad I did that, the eye
(02:51):
that is mad is not the same eye that did that.
So part of rewiring the brain the hardware, upgrading the
hardware is realizing that you can literally pull out this
dream machine and plug in the new hardware, just like
you would upgrade the engine of a car. So what
happens is is now I want you to I want
you to be the ie, the one that wants to
(03:13):
be healthier, the one that wants to be more creative,
the one that wants to be less addicted to the addiction.
I want that one to stand on stage and literally
what you're going to feel is you're going to feel
something someplace in your body. Most of the times it's
in the lungs because that's where people carry grief. How
is me thinking I'm on stage doing that because it's
the grief of the addiction. We're literally rewiring the brain
(03:36):
and upgrading the hardware. If you've ever seen somebody who's
had a part of their brain a lobotomy and yet
the brain still works. There's people who have had half
of their hemisphere, the half of the hemisphere gone, and
their body still operates. So the hardware upgrades itself. Why
because it's a need. My question to you is is
(03:56):
there a need for you to get healthy? Is there
need for you to be able to lay that addiction down,
not forget it and shadow it and stick it in
a corner. Here's another thing that will literally change the
hardware of your brain. Right now, if you're drawing the
line in the sand.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Can I second, just to be clear on the first
step here, you're talking about to use visualization to change
your brain.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yes, you can literally upgrade the hardware of your brain.
If I put you into a hypnotic trance, you can
literally They've been able to pierce the skin of the
hand with a needle and make the left hole bleed
in the right hole not bleed. That's how much power
you have over your body. So the visualization is is
to have this experience that the eye that is in pain,
(04:46):
the eye that is suffering, not the eye that is
the addictor or the addicted. It's the one who's the
one that's suffering. When you're done with it, who experiences
the shame and guilt. You'll literally find that sometimes it's
a child, Sometimes it's a younger version of you. Sometimes
it's literally a beaten up version of you that's embarrassed.
(05:07):
When you start to feed that eye, the eye of
you that experiences the suffering and say it's okay. That's
much different than feeling shame and guilt. See the difference
between shame and guilt, and this happens in the brain.
Is shame, I'm the problem. Guilt is it's the problem.
(05:27):
I have a solution, shame, I'm the problem. And so
if I'm shaming myself, what if all of a sudden
you stop, just for a moment and stop shaming yourself
and said we can do this. The you and the
eye that felt the shame, you didn't do it. You're
just absorbing that pain. So visualization is one to upgrade
(05:47):
the hardware, literally rewire it. They have f MRIs functional
magnetic resonance imaging machines that show people when they go
through this process, it's literally creating a new neural pathway,
which is upgrading the hardware. So that's number one. Number
two is nutrition. Most of us are wildly deficient in
certain chemicals. Right. They found that one of the things
(06:11):
if you're over fifty. I don't know how many of
your people might be over fifty in your audience, but
if you're over fifty, your brain doesn't use doesn't use
glucose as well anymore. And that's the whole thing that
your diet is is glucose carbs. So getting your body
into into ketosis. When you starve the carbs, your body
creates the key tones they are already produced in your body.
(06:33):
The challenge is it never has a chance to run
on this jet fuel and the body needs keytnes. So
they've showed that MCI, mild cognitive impairment, addiction, and a
variety of things. When the brain is on key tones,
it changes and makes better decisions. Hydration is another thing
to upgrade. That is.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Because I add I'm a big, big advocate of intermitted
fasting and additional fasting and I like to It's something
I'm starting to introduce to my clients is to use
at least intermittent fasting.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Now. So here's the addiction challenge with the language that
they've given us. Because you're doing it, it's performing. What
if you just said intermittent eating at least now, this
is so everything that happens. We live in a binary state,
and one of the greatest ways to improve the hardwares
to pay attention to the language that limits our capability
(07:31):
and capacity intermittent fasting. Most people, I have to give
up no intermittent eating. If you change that all of
a sudden, your body says, I'll eat when I'm hungry,
and I can do sixteen eight sixteen off eight hours
of eating and I'll be okay. And it's amazing. How
if I know I'm just gonna eat then but if
I fast, I get to suffer again. So it's simply
(07:55):
a change of language. And that's when I became this
self talk master. If you will, it's the slightest little
intention behind every single word that changes our results.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I totally totally am on board, totally agree.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I mean the whole If you didn't, I wouldn't be here, the.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Whole powerful Eric thing rather than pless eric. Yeah, so
you're the the uh and then the eating when you're not.
If you don't eat long enough, then you can you
will go into ketosis.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Right, Yeah. Usually it takes anywhere from seventy two hours
to longer. But what happens is the metabolic shift that
happens when you do the intermittent eating is that it
literally starts to recenter the body and you have a
bigger hit of dopamine. You have a bigger hit of
you know when you talk to people in the I'm
(08:54):
on my third day of a waterfast, and I've never
felt better on the seven day seven of the waterfast.
I've never Oh my gosh, I have such clarity. The
challenges is that all of the vibrational state of the
body that has to that has to digest the food
right our stomach is our second brain. Otherwise we'd have
the head of a small balloon. And the reason that
(09:18):
we have the the neurons in our gut, why we
get our gut instinct, is that if we don't give
our gun a chance to relax, the brain can't process
all of the pain and the suffering. And that's why
sometimes we eat. How do we how many do we
know that are that are food addicts? Because we don't
want to have to have the thoughts.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
We're thinking, are you scream is my thing? Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Are what flavor?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Chocolate? Dark chocolate?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Now you know why the dark chocolate, dark chocolate is
a huge hitta dopamine.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
You're telling me than obvious, captain, But no, really, I
love that you. You brought up intermittent eating. It's taken
a while for me to digest.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Here's the thing, so let me let me go to
the uh. There's a thing called hedonics, and hedonics is
our is our is our need to justify our joy.
It's our responsibility to joy. So we have habitual actions
and then we have these handonic actions. Right, think about hedonism.
(10:33):
So when we understand and what marketers do they market
to the hadonic responsibility for you to experience joy such
that it is such an it's such an ingrained response
that it's a no brainer. How many times have we
had no brainers? Right, it's a no brainer to go
back to the thing that gives me pleasure. Well, when
(10:56):
we start to activate our brain, when you do put
it on intermittent and you allow the body, if you can,
to start to put keytones into your body, and all
of a sudden, there's clarity. Brain fog goes away, clarity
comes up, sleep is better, digestion is better, and all
of a sudden, you're just better. There's a huge thing
that changes, and all of a sudden, we don't know
(11:18):
what to do with the extra time we had.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, and I can verify everything you're talking about, because
I started with intermitute eating and then went to traditional
not eating for it. So I went eleven days without eating,
and I felt fantastic. I felt great, and I actually
(11:43):
would have went longer, but we had a social thing
coming up, and I wanted to enjoy everybody and everything,
so I chose to break my not eating And so
it is a total and complete lie that you know, oh,
if you don't need for a couple days, you'll die
or whatever. I felt fantastic. I felt great now. The
(12:04):
first couple days were definitely challenging for sure, and there
was some time along the way that we're challenged that
was challenging. But all in all, I felt really great.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And it's the identity that's the challenge. Your body wasn't hungry,
you proved it. You went to day eleven. Your body
wasn't upset, it went to day eleven. It was the mind.
Joe Despenza says this. He says, everything that we've done
is recorded in our brain. Our brain, our mind is
the archive of everything we've ever done. And when somebody says,
(12:36):
have you lost your mind. What they're literally saying is
I can't find your pattern that I know you for,
so have you lost your pattern? And I want somebody
to say to you. When they ask you, have you
lost your mind? You say, oh, heck, yeah, I lost
my mind. Are you kidding me? It's the greatest thing
I've ever done? Done?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, because that mind was crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It was an erddict.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Oh my god. Yeah. I love Joe Dispensa. If you're
listening to this podcast, he's right up. I mean, he
goes right into the whole identity change. And by the way,
I just want to share this. I learned this the
other day. I'm talking about Anthony Robbins. He said the
(13:28):
number one tool this is He's taught millions. He said,
the number one tool to affect change in your life
is your identity.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And he talks about the six human needs, not Maslow's
hierarchy of needs. The six human needs certainty, uncertainty, significance,
and love and connection before we get to contribution and growth.
Everybody wants contribution and growth, but they're not willing to
hit the first four. And we're most people are in
the first four. The pain for life is when they're
(14:03):
in significance and in certainty. When I need certainty and
I need significance, those two are never the bedfellows. They
are the beadfellows of pain. So until you can deal
with the uncertainty of not being able to deal with
it to the addiction that's uncertain, I have no idea
what to do. I need to eat carrots right, and
all of a sudden you take on another addiction. The
(14:25):
challenge is a certainty, uncertainty, love, and connection, which is
a tough one when we're addicts, because everybody's got a
preconceived notion. The interior singular cortex is that radio receiver,
and you show up going I wonder if they know,
and they don't know, but all of a sudden they
seem to know, and all of a sudden, the conversation
just goes south. So how do you deal with that?
Tony also talks about the triangle physiology, focus, language and meaning,
(14:51):
and so how do you move? So you can't move
your brain, But Joe Dispensa says, with the way the
brain moves is the way the brain groves. The brain
guide who also is that Jim quick right talks about
it the way the brain groves is the way the
brain moves. So how do you move? Physical exercise. I'm
not saying go join a jim. I'm saying walk for
(15:13):
five minutes every half hour. If you can, you will
literally change. You'll see how fast the whole brain will
rewire itself into saying, Hey, this thing that's carrying us
around loves us. So those are numbers. I've got a
place to when you're ready, let me know for people
to go find out what type brain they are.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yes, let's let's say that to the end.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yep, teaser, teaser, can't go anywhere. We got yet, we
got yet, you got to stay now.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So was that number three exercise to change your brain?
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Exercise? So yeah, visualization, nutrition, exercise, and literally adding to
that list of five hundred we talked about in the
first episode, write down things you've done well. You need
some documented evidence because you have all of the evidence.
I don't even need you to write it down, of
all of the shame and the guilt. Your body literally
(16:09):
needs to see the evidence that you're not guilty, that
you are a good person, that you've done good things,
that you've made an impact in this life. Right, never think,
never be too cautious of the whole that your life
not being here will leave it will leave a big hole.
And so we need you some evidence to show how
(16:32):
amazing you are.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
We do need you. If you're listening to this podcast,
I have a lot of guys reach out to me.
For a while there, it seemed like every other guy
that was contacting me was saying, Oh, I had tried
to commit suicide or I'm thinking of committing suicide. And
so if you are call for help to a suicide
(16:59):
prevention hotline, please don't call me, call a suicide prevention hotline.
But what would you say to that person that is,
maybe they're listening now and they're contemplating that. What would
you say to that person?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I would say, first of all, tell me what date
it is. And secondly, because right now, your amigalis is
fired up, your hippo campus is on fire, and it
says literally, we've been thinking about this for way too
long and I'm just I can't do it anymore. You
hipp a campus, you're your wingman. So I would literally say,
what time is it? How many things are red in
your room right now? How many things are green in
(17:35):
your room? And if you're serious about listening. Listen to
this right now, because what's happening now is we're starting
to activate the prefrontal cortex and you'r amigla is starting
to fight back. It's saying, no, this is, this is
We're in a serious situation. You're not what temperature is
it in the room. See when you start to activate
the prefrontal cortex in somebody's brain, literally, the amigala says, okay,
(17:56):
so we're not in a fight or flight or free situation.
The challenge is that most people can't unlock any of
this because we never talk about the fourth ear, the
fourth aft, the freedom, fight, flight, freezer, freedom. You're going
to go through all of that because you can wire
yourself back in. What size shoe do you wear? How
big are your pants? These things? There's a stupid question.
(18:19):
It's a question your brain has to answer because your
brain looks for two things, will it kill me? Or
how fast can I figure out the pattern? So I
would say to somebody who's struggling right now, take a breath,
just feel your lungs color and feel up what color
would be a healing color for you right now? And
in that healing color, let that start to flow in,
and all of that doubt and fear and negative give
(18:40):
it a color. Some people pick some odd colors for that.
And when you exhale, feel that exhale going out, and
now feel your body lightened just a little bit. When
that lightning, you can now begin to realize it's okay
to ask for help.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I feel light blue coming in, black going out and imagine.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
And so here's where the shame and guilt comes in. Well,
if I breathe that black out, it's gonna hurt somebody
else as soon as it leaves your body. The universe
has an agreement with you. Anytime you give over it,
it's your pain to it. It turns it into rainbows,
butterflies and unicorns. I promise you, so exhale that dark,
let it fly out of you, Let it leave you,
and let more of that blue, Let more of your
(19:24):
heel and color come in, because the more that you
let come in, you literally start to fill your body vibrate.
Maybe for some of you who are listening to this,
it's the first time you've had the goosebumps the chicken
skin in a long time. Because this is the higher
self of you that's becoming aligned with who you truly are,
not the one who is the shame, not the one
(19:46):
who is the guilt. This is the one who said
I do love me.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I do love me. And if you are unable to
say that, you can say I like myself. If you're
unable to say that, I'm learning to like myself, I'm
learning to like myself. Or I'm learning to love myself.
And if you want to do the bad proctor thing,
you could do that too, all right, So you we
(20:19):
we talked about exercise to change the brain. We talked
about in the very beginning. I mean, we talked about
using intermitted eating to change the brain.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
It takes a while from me visualization, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And then the Yeah. The first thing was the visualization.
So using nutrition to change the brain? Uh? Do you?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Is there a particular I don't has some great ones.
And when when I give you the the link for
figuring out what type brain you are, I'll offer you
the opportunity to reach out to me. You'll get the
contact information here.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
For those of you listen, Well, why don't we why
don't we do that right now? So just to be
there's it's a doctor, amen, like yes, like am.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
E ami in yep, just like amen, brother past plate.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
So and what is this test?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So it's called my brain Fit Life dot com, My
brain fit life dot com and you'll see it'll say
brain fit Life and you'll see getting started. Now take
the free assessment. Do not it's ninety nine bucks for
the year or something. Don't do that. Don't do that.
Just take the free assessment. It'll take you about twenty minutes.
(21:43):
And the reason that is is because it'll determine based
upon doctor Amens tens of thousands of pet scans and
brain scans. They understand a certain basic questioning that allows
you to find out which brain you are. And then
you'll find out there's some deficiencies. Some people are taking
caffeine and that's not good for him. Some people need
gabba and they're not taking gaba. Some people ninety eight
(22:07):
percent of the people who go to the Aimin Institute
when he did the test, are wildly deficient in omegas.
And some people will go, well, I'll just go to
Walmart and get it. No, because you got to have
a certain DEA and DH combination of them in order
for them to perform. Otherwise you're putting water in your
fuel tank and you're thinking, man, this is not doing anything.
Why because it's not doing anything. So go there and
(22:30):
they'll give you a list of information and if you'd
like to have a conversation with me about that to
help understand it a little bit more and help you
possibly rewire some of the old stories in your mind
and in your brain and in your past, reach out
to me Seanjmurphy dot com. You can find me on Instagram.
Sean J. Murphy. Now, when do you want to talk
to me? Now? Sean J. Murphy Now, and yeah, we'll
(22:54):
have a conversation.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Between the Sean and the Murphy. Murphy is the let
George Ye, yep, George, Sean gen Murphy dot com. And
so who would be your perfect client?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
My perfect client is somebody that's had success and kind
of fallen off a little bit. Somebody who is decided
that they're they're they're done with being not enough. Now.
It doesn't sound like everybody. There's a lot of people
who are still dedicted to their addiction. I asked three questions.
(23:37):
If you answer yes to all of these, you're probably
you're in the funnel of a good client of mine.
And the first question is do I have your permission
to help? So your subconscious just answered that. You need
to pay attention to how it answered. If the answer
is no, don't call me. I I'm not God, I
don't walk on water and I can't fix that. Second
question is if the answer yes, do have your permission
(23:58):
to make you feel a little bit uncomfortable? Because this
isn't about having more of the love and joy in
Kumbai Ya. You want to get some stuff done, you
want to move forward. You're going to feel uncomfortable because
the thing you want you don't have, and it's going
to make you feel uncomfortable. You're going to think away
you've never thought, feel a way you never felt, and
do things you've never done. That's a frickin' recipe for disaster.
(24:19):
So do I have your permission to make you feel
a little bit uncomfortable? And if you say to yes to that,
you're going to love. Question three is do I have
your permission to take you out of that uncomfortable feeling?
Because I promise I won't leave you there no matter
how long it takes. So that's my ideal.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Client Awesome, all right, Well, I appreciate you coming on
the show. But you know, Sean, there's still there's somebody
listening right now that is still just really struggling. They
don't feel good about themselves. Maybe they're an entrepreneur salesperson.
(24:56):
Their sales are low, businesses not booming. They're deep in
their addiction. What's one last word of wisdom you could
leave them with?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So recognize where you're at right Imagine GPS if you
wanted to get out of this pain, the suffering below.
You can't just plug in the destination to where you want.
There has to be some movement for the GPS to
locate you. And the way GPS locates you is realize
I am here. Just put it down on paper. You
(25:33):
can write I am here, and then you've got to ask.
See Einstein said, the challenges that are made with the
mind of man can't be the same mindset that gets
you out of here. They can't be solved with the
same mindset that created them. So then you ask a QLQ,
who do I become when I'm not here? Literally write
that down because the kinesiology of writing slows down the
(25:57):
brain enough to be able to begin the response that
it needs because it doesn't have an answer to that
because you keep saying I'm here, I'm here. If you
use what in psychology we call a ql Q, a
quantum linguistic question, who do I become when I'm not here?
You start to open up the opportunity of your mind.
(26:18):
You start to be able to stack some things from
the future to be able to bring them into the
places that aren't here. I get to become a better dad.
I get to say I'm sorry to certain people. I
get to say thank you to certain people. There are
people right now who are in your world that have
served you and helped you. Maybe you haven't said thank
(26:38):
you to them. Send them a text right now. You
want to change your vibrational state, Send messages out saying, hey, listen,
thanks for being my friend. I know it seems odd.
I know it seems weird. Yet if you don't want
to be here, do that. You can do that right now.
Send a text out to somebody saying hey, listen, thank you,
and they'll be excited and they'll reach back, and all
of a sudden you'll go. You'll find out that when
(27:00):
you send that message, they'll say, you know what I
needed that, And all of a sudden, you are now
on the other side of the fence to where people
need you. I can tell you right now, I need
you in my world. If you're in this vibrational state
of powerful Eric's message, I need you in my world,
send me a message.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Thanks Eric, love it. The opposite of addiction is connection,
So reach out, reach out. All right, well, Sean, thanks
again for being with us. Please check out Sean's material
at seang Murphy dot com. And I'm gonna close with
(27:42):
the Ziggler quote that says, you are what you are
and where you are from what has gone into your mind.
But you can change what you are and you can
change where you are by changing what goes into this beautiful,
magnificent mind. Thanks for listening.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
If you're struggling with porn or sex addiction, reach out
to Eric at Powerfuleric dot com.
This is porn Talk. He was your host, Eric Zuzak.
Welcome back to porn Talk. This is powerful. Eric. I'm
with our guest Sean Murphy. Welcome back, Sean. We were
continuing our conversation from last week. If you weren't with us,
(00:24):
go back and listen to that. But Sean is a
licensed brain trainer. He's a neuro encoding specialist. What is
that we'll find out and he talks about how to
actually change the hardware, not just the software of your brain,
but the hardware. So welcome back, Sean.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's good to be here. Eric. I'm excited. I really
enjoyed our conversation last week, and I would encourage people
it's one of those things to go back. Well I'll
just listen to this one. You're gonna miss out on
some vague secrets if you do that, So just throwing
that out there.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So we had talked about some of the challenges with addiction,
but how what what things can we do? What are
some practical steps that we can do. If the person
that's listening to this right now, but this person is
really deep into their addiction, it's it's porn, sex, or
(01:25):
or drugs, alcohol, what are some practice. They're working on
the software part of their brain now by listening to
the podcast. But changing the hardware is frankly kind of
a new thing. It's for me on changing the hardware.
(01:46):
So how do we do that?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
So one of the things in changing the hardware is
actually giving your subconscious permission. There's something called SVT subconscious
visualization technique, And when you do that, the challenges is
most people when they want to go in and meditation,
some of you have been told to meditate. Some of
you have been told, you know, close your eyes and
picture a wonderful scene. The challenge with that is that
(02:08):
we have the voices of these other identities that scream us.
So here, let me give you an example. If you
do follow, if you do want to have a little experiment,
and you're in a safe place right now, you can
close your eyes and imagine a stage. Some of you
are afraid of public speaking, I get it. This is
just all of the voices in your head. I'd ask
(02:30):
you right now, who's listening to this podcast? Who's listened
to the previous episodes of this podcast for weeks and
weeks and weeks and years, and who now is listening
to it now if you had to name that identity
who's on stage. See, Because when we have these issues
of I'm just so mad I did that, the eye
(02:51):
that is mad is not the same eye that did that.
So part of rewiring the brain the hardware, upgrading the
hardware is realizing that you can literally pull out this
dream machine and plug in the new hardware, just like
you would upgrade the engine of a car. So what
happens is is now I want you to I want
you to be the ie, the one that wants to
(03:13):
be healthier, the one that wants to be more creative,
the one that wants to be less addicted to the addiction.
I want that one to stand on stage and literally
what you're going to feel is you're going to feel
something someplace in your body. Most of the times it's
in the lungs because that's where people carry grief. How
is me thinking I'm on stage doing that because it's
the grief of the addiction. We're literally rewiring the brain
(03:36):
and upgrading the hardware. If you've ever seen somebody who's
had a part of their brain a lobotomy and yet
the brain still works. There's people who have had half
of their hemisphere, the half of the hemisphere gone, and
their body still operates. So the hardware upgrades itself. Why
because it's a need. My question to you is is
(03:56):
there a need for you to get healthy? Is there
need for you to be able to lay that addiction down,
not forget it and shadow it and stick it in
a corner. Here's another thing that will literally change the
hardware of your brain. Right now, if you're drawing the
line in the sand.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Can I second, just to be clear on the first
step here, you're talking about to use visualization to change
your brain.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yes, you can literally upgrade the hardware of your brain.
If I put you into a hypnotic trance, you can
literally They've been able to pierce the skin of the
hand with a needle and make the left hole bleed
in the right hole not bleed. That's how much power
you have over your body. So the visualization is is
to have this experience that the eye that is in pain,
(04:46):
the eye that is suffering, not the eye that is
the addictor or the addicted. It's the one who's the
one that's suffering. When you're done with it, who experiences
the shame and guilt. You'll literally find that sometimes it's
a child, Sometimes it's a younger version of you. Sometimes
it's literally a beaten up version of you that's embarrassed.
(05:07):
When you start to feed that eye, the eye of
you that experiences the suffering and say it's okay. That's
much different than feeling shame and guilt. See the difference
between shame and guilt, and this happens in the brain.
Is shame, I'm the problem. Guilt is it's the problem.
(05:27):
I have a solution, shame, I'm the problem. And so
if I'm shaming myself, what if all of a sudden
you stop, just for a moment and stop shaming yourself
and said we can do this. The you and the
eye that felt the shame, you didn't do it. You're
just absorbing that pain. So visualization is one to upgrade
(05:47):
the hardware, literally rewire it. They have f MRIs functional
magnetic resonance imaging machines that show people when they go
through this process, it's literally creating a new neural pathway,
which is upgrading the hardware. So that's number one. Number
two is nutrition. Most of us are wildly deficient in
certain chemicals. Right. They found that one of the things
(06:11):
if you're over fifty. I don't know how many of
your people might be over fifty in your audience, but
if you're over fifty, your brain doesn't use doesn't use
glucose as well anymore. And that's the whole thing that
your diet is is glucose carbs. So getting your body
into into ketosis. When you starve the carbs, your body
creates the key tones they are already produced in your body.
(06:33):
The challenge is it never has a chance to run
on this jet fuel and the body needs keytnes. So
they've showed that MCI, mild cognitive impairment, addiction, and a
variety of things. When the brain is on key tones,
it changes and makes better decisions. Hydration is another thing
to upgrade. That is.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Because I add I'm a big, big advocate of intermitted
fasting and additional fasting and I like to It's something
I'm starting to introduce to my clients is to use
at least intermittent fasting.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Now. So here's the addiction challenge with the language that
they've given us. Because you're doing it, it's performing. What
if you just said intermittent eating at least now, this
is so everything that happens. We live in a binary state,
and one of the greatest ways to improve the hardwares
to pay attention to the language that limits our capability
(07:31):
and capacity intermittent fasting. Most people, I have to give
up no intermittent eating. If you change that all of
a sudden, your body says, I'll eat when I'm hungry,
and I can do sixteen eight sixteen off eight hours
of eating and I'll be okay. And it's amazing. How
if I know I'm just gonna eat then but if
I fast, I get to suffer again. So it's simply
(07:55):
a change of language. And that's when I became this
self talk master. If you will, it's the slightest little
intention behind every single word that changes our results.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I totally totally am on board, totally agree.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I mean the whole If you didn't, I wouldn't be here, the.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Whole powerful Eric thing rather than pless eric. Yeah, so
you're the the uh and then the eating when you're not.
If you don't eat long enough, then you can you
will go into ketosis.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Right, Yeah. Usually it takes anywhere from seventy two hours
to longer. But what happens is the metabolic shift that
happens when you do the intermittent eating is that it
literally starts to recenter the body and you have a
bigger hit of dopamine. You have a bigger hit of
you know when you talk to people in the I'm
(08:54):
on my third day of a waterfast, and I've never
felt better on the seven day seven of the waterfast.
I've never Oh my gosh, I have such clarity. The
challenges is that all of the vibrational state of the
body that has to that has to digest the food
right our stomach is our second brain. Otherwise we'd have
the head of a small balloon. And the reason that
(09:18):
we have the the neurons in our gut, why we
get our gut instinct, is that if we don't give
our gun a chance to relax, the brain can't process
all of the pain and the suffering. And that's why
sometimes we eat. How do we how many do we
know that are that are food addicts? Because we don't
want to have to have the thoughts.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
We're thinking, are you scream is my thing? Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Are what flavor?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Chocolate? Dark chocolate?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Now you know why the dark chocolate, dark chocolate is
a huge hitta dopamine.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
You're telling me than obvious, captain, But no, really, I
love that you. You brought up intermittent eating. It's taken
a while for me to digest.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Here's the thing, so let me let me go to
the uh. There's a thing called hedonics, and hedonics is
our is our is our need to justify our joy.
It's our responsibility to joy. So we have habitual actions
and then we have these handonic actions. Right, think about hedonism.
(10:33):
So when we understand and what marketers do they market
to the hadonic responsibility for you to experience joy such
that it is such an it's such an ingrained response
that it's a no brainer. How many times have we
had no brainers? Right, it's a no brainer to go
back to the thing that gives me pleasure. Well, when
(10:56):
we start to activate our brain, when you do put
it on intermittent and you allow the body, if you can,
to start to put keytones into your body, and all
of a sudden, there's clarity. Brain fog goes away, clarity
comes up, sleep is better, digestion is better, and all
of a sudden, you're just better. There's a huge thing
that changes, and all of a sudden, we don't know
(11:18):
what to do with the extra time we had.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, and I can verify everything you're talking about, because
I started with intermitute eating and then went to traditional
not eating for it. So I went eleven days without eating,
and I felt fantastic. I felt great, and I actually
(11:43):
would have went longer, but we had a social thing
coming up, and I wanted to enjoy everybody and everything,
so I chose to break my not eating And so
it is a total and complete lie that you know, oh,
if you don't need for a couple days, you'll die
or whatever. I felt fantastic. I felt great now. The
(12:04):
first couple days were definitely challenging for sure, and there
was some time along the way that we're challenged that
was challenging. But all in all, I felt really great.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And it's the identity that's the challenge. Your body wasn't hungry,
you proved it. You went to day eleven. Your body
wasn't upset, it went to day eleven. It was the mind.
Joe Despenza says this. He says, everything that we've done
is recorded in our brain. Our brain, our mind is
the archive of everything we've ever done. And when somebody says,
(12:36):
have you lost your mind. What they're literally saying is
I can't find your pattern that I know you for,
so have you lost your pattern? And I want somebody
to say to you. When they ask you, have you
lost your mind? You say, oh, heck, yeah, I lost
my mind. Are you kidding me? It's the greatest thing
I've ever done? Done?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, because that mind was crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It was an erddict.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Oh my god. Yeah. I love Joe Dispensa. If you're
listening to this podcast, he's right up. I mean, he
goes right into the whole identity change. And by the way,
I just want to share this. I learned this the
other day. I'm talking about Anthony Robbins. He said the
(13:28):
number one tool this is He's taught millions. He said,
the number one tool to affect change in your life
is your identity.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And he talks about the six human needs, not Maslow's
hierarchy of needs. The six human needs certainty, uncertainty, significance,
and love and connection before we get to contribution and growth.
Everybody wants contribution and growth, but they're not willing to
hit the first four. And we're most people are in
the first four. The pain for life is when they're
(14:03):
in significance and in certainty. When I need certainty and
I need significance, those two are never the bedfellows. They
are the beadfellows of pain. So until you can deal
with the uncertainty of not being able to deal with
it to the addiction that's uncertain, I have no idea
what to do. I need to eat carrots right, and
all of a sudden you take on another addiction. The
(14:25):
challenge is a certainty, uncertainty, love, and connection, which is
a tough one when we're addicts, because everybody's got a
preconceived notion. The interior singular cortex is that radio receiver,
and you show up going I wonder if they know,
and they don't know, but all of a sudden they
seem to know, and all of a sudden, the conversation
just goes south. So how do you deal with that?
Tony also talks about the triangle physiology, focus, language and meaning,
(14:51):
and so how do you move? So you can't move
your brain, But Joe Dispensa says, with the way the
brain moves is the way the brain groves. The brain
guide who also is that Jim quick right talks about
it the way the brain groves is the way the
brain moves. So how do you move? Physical exercise. I'm
not saying go join a jim. I'm saying walk for
(15:13):
five minutes every half hour. If you can, you will
literally change. You'll see how fast the whole brain will
rewire itself into saying, Hey, this thing that's carrying us
around loves us. So those are numbers. I've got a
place to when you're ready, let me know for people
to go find out what type brain they are.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yes, let's let's say that to the end.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yep, teaser, teaser, can't go anywhere. We got yet, we
got yet, you got to stay now.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So was that number three exercise to change your brain?
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Exercise? So yeah, visualization, nutrition, exercise, and literally adding to
that list of five hundred we talked about in the
first episode, write down things you've done well. You need
some documented evidence because you have all of the evidence.
I don't even need you to write it down, of
all of the shame and the guilt. Your body literally
(16:09):
needs to see the evidence that you're not guilty, that
you are a good person, that you've done good things,
that you've made an impact in this life. Right, never think,
never be too cautious of the whole that your life
not being here will leave it will leave a big hole.
And so we need you some evidence to show how
(16:32):
amazing you are.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
We do need you. If you're listening to this podcast,
I have a lot of guys reach out to me.
For a while there, it seemed like every other guy
that was contacting me was saying, Oh, I had tried
to commit suicide or I'm thinking of committing suicide. And
so if you are call for help to a suicide
(16:59):
prevention hotline, please don't call me, call a suicide prevention hotline.
But what would you say to that person that is,
maybe they're listening now and they're contemplating that. What would
you say to that person?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I would say, first of all, tell me what date
it is. And secondly, because right now, your amigalis is
fired up, your hippo campus is on fire, and it
says literally, we've been thinking about this for way too
long and I'm just I can't do it anymore. You
hipp a campus, you're your wingman. So I would literally say,
what time is it? How many things are red in
your room right now? How many things are green in
(17:35):
your room? And if you're serious about listening. Listen to
this right now, because what's happening now is we're starting
to activate the prefrontal cortex and you'r amigla is starting
to fight back. It's saying, no, this is, this is
We're in a serious situation. You're not what temperature is
it in the room. See when you start to activate
the prefrontal cortex in somebody's brain, literally, the amigala says, okay,
(17:56):
so we're not in a fight or flight or free situation.
The challenge is that most people can't unlock any of
this because we never talk about the fourth ear, the
fourth aft, the freedom, fight, flight, freezer, freedom. You're going
to go through all of that because you can wire
yourself back in. What size shoe do you wear? How
big are your pants? These things? There's a stupid question.
(18:19):
It's a question your brain has to answer because your
brain looks for two things, will it kill me? Or
how fast can I figure out the pattern? So I
would say to somebody who's struggling right now, take a breath,
just feel your lungs color and feel up what color
would be a healing color for you right now? And
in that healing color, let that start to flow in,
and all of that doubt and fear and negative give
(18:40):
it a color. Some people pick some odd colors for that.
And when you exhale, feel that exhale going out, and
now feel your body lightened just a little bit. When
that lightning, you can now begin to realize it's okay
to ask for help.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I feel light blue coming in, black going out and imagine.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
And so here's where the shame and guilt comes in. Well,
if I breathe that black out, it's gonna hurt somebody
else as soon as it leaves your body. The universe
has an agreement with you. Anytime you give over it,
it's your pain to it. It turns it into rainbows,
butterflies and unicorns. I promise you, so exhale that dark,
let it fly out of you, Let it leave you,
and let more of that blue, Let more of your
(19:24):
heel and color come in, because the more that you
let come in, you literally start to fill your body vibrate.
Maybe for some of you who are listening to this,
it's the first time you've had the goosebumps the chicken
skin in a long time. Because this is the higher
self of you that's becoming aligned with who you truly are,
not the one who is the shame, not the one
(19:46):
who is the guilt. This is the one who said
I do love me.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I do love me. And if you are unable to
say that, you can say I like myself. If you're
unable to say that, I'm learning to like myself, I'm
learning to like myself. Or I'm learning to love myself.
And if you want to do the bad proctor thing,
you could do that too, all right, So you we
(20:19):
we talked about exercise to change the brain. We talked
about in the very beginning. I mean, we talked about
using intermitted eating to change the brain.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
It takes a while from me visualization, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And then the Yeah. The first thing was the visualization.
So using nutrition to change the brain? Uh? Do you?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Is there a particular I don't has some great ones.
And when when I give you the the link for
figuring out what type brain you are, I'll offer you
the opportunity to reach out to me. You'll get the
contact information here.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
For those of you listen, Well, why don't we why
don't we do that right now? So just to be
there's it's a doctor, amen, like yes, like am.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
E ami in yep, just like amen, brother past plate.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
So and what is this test?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So it's called my brain Fit Life dot com, My
brain fit life dot com and you'll see it'll say
brain fit Life and you'll see getting started. Now take
the free assessment. Do not it's ninety nine bucks for
the year or something. Don't do that. Don't do that.
Just take the free assessment. It'll take you about twenty minutes.
(21:43):
And the reason that is is because it'll determine based
upon doctor Amens tens of thousands of pet scans and
brain scans. They understand a certain basic questioning that allows
you to find out which brain you are. And then
you'll find out there's some deficiencies. Some people are taking
caffeine and that's not good for him. Some people need
gabba and they're not taking gaba. Some people ninety eight
(22:07):
percent of the people who go to the Aimin Institute
when he did the test, are wildly deficient in omegas.
And some people will go, well, I'll just go to
Walmart and get it. No, because you got to have
a certain DEA and DH combination of them in order
for them to perform. Otherwise you're putting water in your
fuel tank and you're thinking, man, this is not doing anything.
Why because it's not doing anything. So go there and
(22:30):
they'll give you a list of information and if you'd
like to have a conversation with me about that to
help understand it a little bit more and help you
possibly rewire some of the old stories in your mind
and in your brain and in your past, reach out
to me Seanjmurphy dot com. You can find me on Instagram.
Sean J. Murphy. Now, when do you want to talk
to me? Now? Sean J. Murphy Now, and yeah, we'll
(22:54):
have a conversation.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Between the Sean and the Murphy. Murphy is the let
George Ye, yep, George, Sean gen Murphy dot com. And
so who would be your perfect client?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
My perfect client is somebody that's had success and kind
of fallen off a little bit. Somebody who is decided
that they're they're they're done with being not enough. Now.
It doesn't sound like everybody. There's a lot of people
who are still dedicted to their addiction. I asked three questions.
(23:37):
If you answer yes to all of these, you're probably
you're in the funnel of a good client of mine.
And the first question is do I have your permission
to help? So your subconscious just answered that. You need
to pay attention to how it answered. If the answer
is no, don't call me. I I'm not God, I
don't walk on water and I can't fix that. Second
question is if the answer yes, do have your permission
(23:58):
to make you feel a little bit uncomfortable? Because this
isn't about having more of the love and joy in
Kumbai Ya. You want to get some stuff done, you
want to move forward. You're going to feel uncomfortable because
the thing you want you don't have, and it's going
to make you feel uncomfortable. You're going to think away
you've never thought, feel a way you never felt, and
do things you've never done. That's a frickin' recipe for disaster.
(24:19):
So do I have your permission to make you feel
a little bit uncomfortable? And if you say to yes to that,
you're going to love. Question three is do I have
your permission to take you out of that uncomfortable feeling?
Because I promise I won't leave you there no matter
how long it takes. So that's my ideal.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Client Awesome, all right, Well, I appreciate you coming on
the show. But you know, Sean, there's still there's somebody
listening right now that is still just really struggling. They
don't feel good about themselves. Maybe they're an entrepreneur salesperson.
(24:56):
Their sales are low, businesses not booming. They're deep in
their addiction. What's one last word of wisdom you could
leave them with?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So recognize where you're at right Imagine GPS if you
wanted to get out of this pain, the suffering below.
You can't just plug in the destination to where you want.
There has to be some movement for the GPS to
locate you. And the way GPS locates you is realize
I am here. Just put it down on paper. You
(25:33):
can write I am here, and then you've got to ask.
See Einstein said, the challenges that are made with the
mind of man can't be the same mindset that gets
you out of here. They can't be solved with the
same mindset that created them. So then you ask a QLQ,
who do I become when I'm not here? Literally write
that down because the kinesiology of writing slows down the
(25:57):
brain enough to be able to begin the response that
it needs because it doesn't have an answer to that
because you keep saying I'm here, I'm here. If you
use what in psychology we call a ql Q, a
quantum linguistic question, who do I become when I'm not here?
You start to open up the opportunity of your mind.
(26:18):
You start to be able to stack some things from
the future to be able to bring them into the
places that aren't here. I get to become a better dad.
I get to say I'm sorry to certain people. I
get to say thank you to certain people. There are
people right now who are in your world that have
served you and helped you. Maybe you haven't said thank
(26:38):
you to them. Send them a text right now. You
want to change your vibrational state, Send messages out saying, hey, listen,
thanks for being my friend. I know it seems odd.
I know it seems weird. Yet if you don't want
to be here, do that. You can do that right now.
Send a text out to somebody saying hey, listen, thank you,
and they'll be excited and they'll reach back, and all
of a sudden you'll go. You'll find out that when
