We'll gathered here today to get through this thing called life.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
You are listening to reset yourself, wanting to podcast your
host Jimmy sometimes Wow, thank you, thank you, thank you
for that wonderful intro. My name is Jimmy and Zalees Hello, hello,
and yeah this is this is my co producer, Henry.
(02:08):
So I want to say hello and thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you. This nice neck rest, ah, thank
you for taking this time to tune in, to listen,
to watch, to follow, to share, to subscribe, to like
means so much to me. This is like year four
(02:31):
and for your time and patience with me, I highly
I'm grateful. I'm very grateful and it means a lot
to me. So in this weekly podcast, I focus on
sparking your inner confidence and igniting your belief in yourself.
(02:52):
I am your host, and I am always very thrilled
to share my thoughts and research with you as we
go along this journey to other you, and I know
you can can nurture a mindset that empowers you to
reach your fullest POTENTI should put echo on that, your
fullest potential. I write a record every episode to challenge
(03:14):
you're thinking and to encourage you to reflect and inspire actionable,
realistic steps towards towards basically getting your shit together. And
if you've been listening now for this many shows, it's
one hundred and seventy five episodes. One hundred and seventy
(03:36):
five episodes. By now, I hope I'm not just background
noise that you go through and skim through and listen
through and nothing has changed. I hope and pray that
(03:57):
at least a sentence of phrase, a joke, a comment,
a fact. Some of the practice stuff, the exercises that
have at the end make you think, don't just turn
this on, sit there, listen to it and go okay,
and then continue to be done on yourself. Continue to
(04:19):
question your reality, your life, your choices. Hope you're inner strength,
because if that's the case, then I have failed you tremendously.
Because the concept of this show is to reset yourself
(04:41):
not to just tune in and listen and wait for the
next week and think to yourself, oh, he made some
statements that I thought were pretty good or inspiring for
this moment. I understand life gets in the way, Trust me,
I understand life gets in the way. But the bottom
line is your life. This life will soon be over,
(05:08):
so why not make it the best one? The best life.
A life of drive, a life of goals, a life
of welcoming opportunities, trying new things, not going through life
thinking to yourself that you can't, you shouldn't, you wouldn't,
and you just won't. I feel so bad when I
(05:34):
speak to people, and it's actually kind of heartbreaking for
me knowing how magical life can be, how empowering it
can be, how wonderful it can be for somebody to
just write off their life by saying I can't or
I won't simply because of a habit. Because that's all
it is. Say what you want. I've worked with enough
(05:57):
people to figure it out. It's habits. It's habits that
you have created of ignorant, unrealistic, lacking beliefs, limiting beliefs
that for some reason you won't try, won't do won't
(06:20):
step out the box because you just feel that, well
you can't and I have fears because of X, Y
and Z, and it's just like, okay, but what are
the fears linked to? Well, I don't know. Then it's
not a fear. It's a figment of your imagination. It's nonexistent.
You're afraid of something that you really have no reason
to him by saying, well, that's the way, do the
(06:43):
work and I'll tell you why. Because life is a gift.
Life is a gift given to you by God or
whomever you wish to believe a higher being. Do I
believe there's nothing, absolutely not. But there are over four
thousand religions and it seems that all of them lead
(07:07):
to one type of center energy being Jesus being God
being Vicin. You know, just there's so many different gods
out there other people believe in. And I respect anybody's
belief to believe in what they want. But this isn't
about where you come from or where you came from.
(07:28):
This is about the life that you are currently living
and what you believe in and what kind of life
you're living, and hopefully you're not allowing your life to
be controlled by limiting beliefs that were put there by.
Most of the time you don't even remember. We assume
(07:50):
our parents, but in many occasions it's been so long
it could have been an uncle, it could have been
a teacher in fourth grade. My inspiration to do this
show is to teach people to focus more on what
they can accomplish, because you can accomplish so that you
(08:14):
can do the things you need to do when they
need to be done. And in return, by doing this,
you open up so many doors, so many opportunities because
you're willing to try things, You're willing to step outside
the box and challenge yourself without doubt. Just do it.
(08:38):
I mean, I've been here since September in Kentucky, and
I can honestly say there's a lot of things that
I never thought I would try, and I have dealing
with insects, dealing with weather, dealing with certain foods, dealing
with just a lot of things that I just never
(08:58):
really thought of. The good thing is I still have
that attitude that I don't think of it. I just
try it, they do it, and when I don't know,
I research it. I don't just go because that is
that's to me. That's a sin. It's a form of sin.
When you're given a gift, when you're given something to
(09:19):
help you build, to grow, a tool to become better,
and instead you just choose to not even try. You're
cheating life. You're cheating, You're cheating the universe, You're cheating God.
I know a lot of people are like, Wow, you
went deep. But it's just every every other day, every
(09:40):
few days. I see it in front of me, and
I'm like, it's just it is. It's heart wrenching. It's
heartbreaking that somebody is willing to think like that continuously,
especially as you get older. As you get older, you
get wiser. So let's let's simplify it down to your mood.
(10:02):
Do you remember mood rings? They were those rings I was.
I think I was. I mean, I kind of remember them,
but I think by the time I was of age,
they weren't as popular. They supposedly changed color to your mood.
(10:23):
The idea to use a thermo sensitive element in jewelry,
which first was created by an American jeweler by the
name of Marvin Wernick in nineteen seventy four. So I
was four years old after reading a magazine article about
the use of liquid crystals. This man thought about and
(10:44):
he just thought, hmm. He found a compound that changed
color from black to green, blue and deep blue in
the ranges of temperature depending on your body, and in
seventy five January seventy five he developed a technique for
using it in penance and in rings. Soyah, I remember
(11:07):
when I was young, everyone seemed to have one. Not
me again older kids, and as with many things, it
faded away. But it's important to track your mood. Your
mood is everything. It is important to be in a
good mood, as it is to be in a bad mood.
Be in a bad mood. Now that I look back
(11:30):
and think how silly, I can't help, but remember waking
up some times just in a bad mood. This morning,
I was in a bad mood. Why you ask, well,
because I have many different animals here, and I will
share with you to a lot of people in my
animal rescue world, which there's thousands of you. I always
(11:52):
have had this thing about like owning a farm and
you know, owning a shelter, and I've done now I
can they have done both. It has its many, many,
many wonderful points. But owning a farm you deal with
(12:13):
a lot of death. And here's the thing. We don't
have cattle to kill. We have chickens for eggs. We're
not going to kill our chickens when they get old.
I'm just going to put them into a little retirement home.
We want pigs, but pigs are really meant for slaughter,
So I mean, it's kind of hard to keep a
(12:34):
you know, a large animal, feeding it as an adult.
It's just expensive. So we pick and choose what animals
we can use. Like we're getting rabbits, not for me,
We're getting them surprisingly down here. Their poop is worth
a lot for fertilizer, So rabbits it is goat's milk.
But I have pigeons that were left to me by
(12:57):
the previous owner, and a huge coop. And when I
when we moved in, we had two three and soon
after another set were born, and then another set were born,
and then a few days ago a little baby was born,
(13:21):
and I took pictures. And every single day I've gone
into the coop and handled this little baby, you know,
like not one feather, big obnoxious nose, which they grow
into beautifully. So every day I go in my routine,
I go in, I feed the chicken, the big chi.
I have them by adults, juvenile, teenagers, and babies. They're
(13:45):
not really babies, they're young, but still chickens. And then
I go over to the pigeons and I feed them.
And I have pigeons that live up inside the barn,
but these pigeons are their homing pigeons. So I I
bring food, I bring some water, I open the door,
I go in. I look in the little nesteria. No bird.
(14:18):
It's tired to get used to it. And it's the thing.
People on the outset, well, just do this. Do this?
Do you have to understand I have a very large barn,
and in this barn are all of these things. So
your first line of defense is this monster barn. But
to protect these animals from possums. I did to protect
(14:44):
them from small mice, rats and snakes. It's impossible, and
it's funny because it's like, you know, you think to yourself, oh,
do this at a trap, put a poison, do it.
You can't do this poison because they'll fit that animal.
You can't do this because it's a factat So it's
like this constant science and you know, you can google
(15:05):
it and go on Facebook, but that doesn't change anything
because everybody has an opinion, and most of them are
people that have been doing this for so long that
their attitude is very simple. And I respect it now
and I understand it. It happens, death happens. Snakes have
to eat, you know, rats have to eat, and I
(15:28):
get it. I mean, I'm a grown man. I've always
understood it. It's just that I made a mistake by
by buying a farm to raise basically a whole group
of pets, not of meat givers. So I can see
(15:48):
where my neighbor, who has hundreds and hundreds of heads
of cattle, he won't to be out there hugging and
kissing each each cow because it's at some point it's
going to go off the market, and it's it's you know,
I eat meat. So I guess I'm the world's biggest hypocrite.
(16:08):
But I understand and I respect it, and I'm okay
with it. But at the same time, I can't help.
But a few days ago I captured a a little kitten,
a great kitten, which we call now Miles, which I'll
show pictures at some point, that has just showed up
(16:29):
one day and in in in the tall grass, and
Melissa spent days looking and trying, and then I spent
days looking, and then we set traps in the barn
because Miles somehow figured out that there's safety in the barn.
So finally, about two days ago, I uh opened the
(16:53):
covers for my chickens the hens to pull eggs out
of above where they where they say, And I opened
it up and there he is sleeping in the henhouse.
So I went around and I was able to get him.
And now he's lovey dovey, I mean so lovey dovey
in just a few days. He's very young. He still
(17:13):
needs mommy, but there's no mommy anywhere. So yesterday I
sat on the couch with him while my daughter was
here and they're doing something and he was on me
and I just had a very long day. So I
fell asleep and Melissa was coming down the stairs and
I heard the noise and I woke up and I
was like, oh my god, and I look and cat's
still there. So I guess I'm a long bearded, hairy mama.
(17:39):
And the cat loves to go under here. So gift
of life and then the very next day death, little
baby pigeons gone. And it's funny because I look, you look,
everything is covered, everything is closed. But I mean, you
can't prevent everything. All I can say is, well, something
(18:02):
got to eat, which is to me just such a
morbid way of thinking. But who am I to say
I do the same thing. But now here I am
doing this podcast in a I mean, in a much
better mood. No, but life has to go on. Life
has to go on. And Melissa just sent me a
(18:22):
picture of a coworker who has pigs, who just had
baby piglets. Today, life goes on. So for those of
you that are like I want to buy a farm
and live the perfect life, you have to realize, you know, life, life,
life is death, death, death, It's it's just a part
of life. So you just have to fight to get
(18:46):
a better mood. So my little mood. And actually I
have the colors listed at the end of this episode
so we can go over, like what the colors were
for those rings. Every day I know when I wake up,
whether it's to move a mountain or just a molehill.
(19:09):
I have purpose. I have many purposes. You have many purposes.
Since as young as I can remember, I would think
about what I could do in my life, who I
could be, and primarily who I could help or inspire.
I've always loved helping others, even strangers, and sadly I
heard many people say why do you have such an
(19:30):
interest in helping others, especially strangers where they don't know you.
I've actually had people say, well, how do you know
they can pay you back? But throughout my life I've
gotten more of a kick, more of a reward by
helping someone completely anonymously. It means more to me knowing
that I could help somebody smile, I could help inspire,
I could help somebody move forward in their lives just
(19:51):
by sharing a few words or an action or two,
and walk away and know that I didn't do it
for myself. I did it for them. I did it
for them. But now it's up to me and them
to run with what we've learned. It's not for me
(20:11):
to feel that because of me, they're better off. I've
never thought of it that way. I like to guide people.
I like to just inspire people with you know, mainly
by my mistakes, mainly by the stupid shit that I've
done in my life, and I just hope and pray
that they're doing better, and because a lot of times
(20:33):
sometimes me you, we lose our path and we just
need a little bit of guidance to get back on
the right words, the right mood. You ever ever find
yourself in a shitty mood and then all of a sudden,
someone somewhere just happens to say the right word, the
right sentence, and your entire day just changed like that quickly.
(21:08):
But I think mostly we need to focus on this
better mood thing, because with better mood comes better health.
And when you take care of yourself, when you love yourself,
you respect yourself, you smile more, you will do so
much better in life. It's fascinating to me. But to
(21:35):
lose yourself with a bad mood is a shame. It's
to me, a waste of your time. And again, are
you not supposed to have these mood shifts? Of course
you are, you're human. But the bottom line is, temporarily,
I think it's great. It's a great thing because the
minute you go down in mood and then you find
(21:55):
yourself doing that reverse and you're in a good mood again,
that great mood feels even better now. Feels one hundred
times better, and then that's where the appreciation kicks in,
the gratitude kicks in. At the end of this, we're
going to, like I said, have a little test as
to what mood you think you're in based on how
you feel, and together we'll come up with that color.
(22:17):
But I think the most important skill that you could
have is being able to reframe reality for my clients.
You hear me say that often reframing you can get
away with whatever you want as long as you frame
it correctly. This reminds me of a quote from Victor Frankel,
(22:39):
who wrote the book Man Searching for Meaning, which he wrote,
now this is this is it. It's not so much
the meaning, it's where he wrote it, where he thought
of it. He wrote it while being in a concentration
(23:01):
camp during the Holocaust. He survived. And one of the
things that he said is that he who has a
why to live for can bear almost any how. He
who has a why to live for can bear almost
(23:21):
any how. Think about that, he survived the Holocaust, he
survived being in a concentration camp. Could you imagine his mindset?
How about your mindset in that situation? His rollercoaster of moods,
of wanting to survive, of finding himself filled with fear
(23:43):
at times, and of course being surrounded by others that
are terrified, of not knowing if they would survive today.
At least if you're alone, you could kind of try
to fight it. But if you find yourself, like let's say,
in the concentration camp, in a bathroom, by yourself fighting
your demons. Am I going to live? Am I gonna die?
(24:04):
Am I going to live? Am I gonna die? Mood up?
Moved down? Mood up, moved down. And then you go
out into a room where there's others that aren't fighting,
so they're just surrendering. So they're terrified. So now you
have to take in their energy of constant fear, of worry.
(24:25):
That's tough. How can I reframe this difficult thing, this
thing that I'm about to go through without without knowing
what's next, without being sure if I'm going to live
or die. Our mood shapes our reality every day. The
emotions you feel impact how you see the world, how
(24:48):
you treat others, and how you respond to the many challenges.
But you are not that's a mercy of your moods.
With awareness and tension and practice, you can influence your
emotional state, reframe negative thoughts, and embrace each day with
a positive outlook. Let's look at this as a deep
(25:12):
dive into understanding your moods, taking control of your thoughts, patterns,
and living each day with an intention and optimism. But
what exactly are moods, Jimmy Well, Moods are emotional states
that color your perceptions and reactions over time. Unlike quick
(25:34):
fleeting emotions, moods linger. They can last hours, days, or
even weeks. Understanding them is the first step towards managing them.
The role of your biology and environment with moods. It's fascinating.
Your mood is influenced by internal factors like your hormones,
your sleep, and your nutrition, and external fact factors like relationships, work,
(25:58):
and weather. Weather, yes, weather. Becoming aware of these influences
helps you understand moodships without self judgment. How many of
you feel better during a rainy day you thought I
was gonna say sunny. I know quite a few people
that love I love rainy days. I love sunny days too,
but I love both. I love a balance because on
(26:21):
this planet we need both we need rain, we need sun,
we need heat, we need snow. Hurricanes and tornadoes and
snowstorms and earthquakes are part of life. You can't wish
them away. They're a part of life. You're a part
of life. They're a part of life. So are poisonous
spiders and poisonous snakes and scorpions and those things that
(26:45):
are so hot. They're just a part of life. Use
your education how to stay away from them instead of
just fearing them. There's no reason to fear them. Just
to do your homework and how to deal with them.
It's fascinating here. Recluse Here everybody talks about there's a
recluse spider. And the recluse spider is like the worst
(27:07):
of the worst, super poisonous. If it bites you, and
they're small and they look like nothing, I mean, they
don't look like anything scary looking. But supposely if they
bite you, you know a lot of bad things can
happen to your arm and you need to go to hospital,
and you know you're not gonna die, but you could
swell your arm up. For example. I say that because
(27:28):
I know of somebody who had happened to And there's
a lot of them supposedly here. But at the same time,
there's also another spider called the wolf spider, which is
bigger that one's scary looking. So when we first moved here,
our side door was covered in wolf spiders, so I
you know, we went in through the other door and
then that night and I'm sorry, that morning I went
(27:48):
and sprayed and killed everything. So the farmers around me,
they have a reason why life happens. So their attitude is, well,
you don't want to kill the wolf spiders because the
wolf spiders killed the reckless spiders. And I'm like, what
what are you talking about? And that's why I've learned
as you get away from the rat race in society,
(28:10):
the cloud minds of society that just worries about taxes,
insurance and dying. Here there's this whole mentality of life,
truly understanding life and death, and death is just a
part of it. It's not sad, it's not shameful, it's
not heartbreaking. It's just what you do. And they just
accept it for who it is, for what it is,
(28:34):
and you can't I can't help, but like, it's so
interesting to me that like this type of thinking just
lightens my mood helps me again, not strengthen my fear
of things, but learn how to respect them and understand
(28:55):
that everything that's happening around you has to happen. And
with that comes along the mood that you're writing along
with it. Are you in a mood of fear, in
a mood of love, or in a mood of happiness,
or in a mood of joy? It's just life. So
(29:20):
what pattern do you think your mood? Yes, I'm talking
to not you, not you talking to you? What pattern
do you think your mood travels in? Do you find
yourself always depressed, always happy? I mean, we are on
this constant roller coaster of moods from day to day,
(29:42):
week to week, minute to minute, second to second, or
maybe just maybe you can pinpoint your mood based on
other factors, which I think many of us can do this.
Note the time of day, your activities, and how you
feel the patterns that begin to emerge as moods change.
(30:03):
Do certain people drain you? You ever find yourself sitting
at home and a car pulls up with somebody that
you're just like, oh my God, Or a phone call
and you know that the person's gonna be negative. But
for some reason you feel the need to listen to them.
Does lack of sleep create your moods? Understanding the awareness
(30:24):
of all of this is power. Not just ignoring it.
Saying oh, I ignore it, I don't care is basically
don't just be numb to your emotions to life, and please,
please do not run from your problems or your moods
your emotions. Focus on them. You're creating these moods. You're
creating these emotions, You're creating these factors. So by you,
(30:46):
I'm just gonna ignore it. You're not listening to yourself.
You're going to crash and burn. My friend, you create
these feelings. It's what better way to be aware of
them than what what's going on in your mind and
how your body feels? Not how I feel, don't ask
me how I feel. How do you feel? Do you
(31:07):
go through a day inspired or do you feel that
your spirit has been broken and dragged through the mud
because someone hurts your heart back in seventy six, Understand
the power of your mind, because, my friends, it is
amazing and for most of us, a simple shift in
thought can change our entire perspective of the day. I
(31:28):
know this for a fact because not only have I
done it myself, but through hypnosis and talk therapy, I
have welcomed many depressed clients into my office and by
the end of an hour, hour and a half, sometimes more,
they're walking out, giggling, joking, joking and feeling silly, and
(31:49):
we're being nostalgic, talking about memories, great memories, good times.
And I do admit I feel that I'm very good
at what I do. But the bottom line is if
you surround yourself with positive people, with good people that
have your best interest in heart, you too can't shift
your perspective and your mood will change. And this comes
(32:14):
from the energy that you have taken from others. But
flip the script, surround yourself with shitty people that all
they want to do is complain and be negative. Make
believe it doesn't, but it sticks to you like cancer.
It starts to affect you emotionally, subconsciously, and before you
know it, you walk as they walk, you talk as
(32:38):
they talk, and as you know misery who does love company?
And you find yourself in a horrible mood and shitty
mood and a numb mood. Maybe not today, maybe not
right after you talk to them, but soon after which
now off spending time with negative energy. Everything is stupid
and everything is a waste of time. You find yourself
(32:59):
alone in questioning life. You just become bored with life.
Any aspirations, any dreams you were actually thinking or pondering,
are now just kind of a waste. Or you could
have spent a day with somebody that believes in you
more than you do, and that doesn't focus on the
(33:22):
fact that there's a war going on on that and
another continent, that the cost of eggs and milk are
too high, the cost of gas is rising and rising.
Those are those are given. Since the beginning of our lives,
the cost of things I've always gone up, and people
have complained tremendously about it. The funny thing is, and
(33:44):
I've always gathered this thought that whenever the prices go down,
nobody seems to go on Facebook and talk about it. Hey,
this is wonderful. The cost of gas went down, the
cost of eggs is now more realistic. But all of
a sudden, the price goes back up a penny and ooh,
what the hell, it's amazing. People just just just want
(34:09):
to buzz negative bullshit, negative thoughts. People get off on that,
and then other idiots go on Facebook like yeah, negativity, Yeah, misery.
I want to be part of misery. I don't want
to be a part of a misery. I want to
be a love, a part of joy and happiness and
love and positivity and opportunity and abundance and great health
(34:29):
and just people are fascinating to me, the roller coaster
riot of emotions. No, my friends, the world is not
coming to an end. We are, you are. But as
(34:52):
for this ball rotating spinning through space, the Earth will
continue to be here for a long time, maybe not forever,
but a trust me, you don't have to worry about
it because you won't be on it. Think about it.
Do you like history? I mean, if you like history,
that's your answer right there. If you know anything about history,
(35:13):
if you've listened in history class. So many empires have
come and so many empires have gone, and Earth is
still here. So while you're experiencing your life, writing your
chapters in your book, why not create habits of happiness,
of joy. It is so easy to create habits of
(35:33):
misery and sadness and anger and rage, to just complain
about everything. Again, I don't mean to keep picking on
this point, but I can only share what I experience
from day to day. And whenever I go up to
anybody that's busy working, let's say, and I happened to
I asked them, how's your day going? The answer is
always negative. They don't get paid enough, taxes too high,
(35:56):
they can't afford anything. This job sucks. Now, this is
just based on my experience. You're more than welcome to
start your own podcast and figure out your own experiences.
But I'm a very observative person, and I'm always watching
how people think, how people talk, how people walk, how
people act, the comments to make why they made the
comments they make. I go in deep and here in Kentucky,
(36:19):
and I'm not gonna says it's a it's a Kentucky
state thing. It might be just a it might be
a southern thing maybe, or the fact that I'm on,
as everybody calls it around here, slow time, which just
basically means I'm on Central Time. But the funny thing
is that means that I'm an hour slower than the
actual rat race. So while the rat race is at eight,
(36:41):
we are an hour slower. And I wonder, and I
can't help, but wonder that. Every time I bump into
anybody in Kentucky overall, and I say, how is your
day going, A smile is the first thing that lights up,
and I will I have never said anything negative. They've
(37:05):
never said anything negative. In fact, they start off with
I'm blessed, or I'm here buying this and that, and
I'm going to make dinner for my family this evening,
and I have to do this, and I have to
do that, and then they'll mention some event that's coming up.
Most of the time they'll invite me to church at
the end of our conversation. And it's genuine. That's my thing.
(37:28):
Trust me, it's it's actually genuine because I had friends
that I've told people, oh my god, that's horrible. No,
it's genuine, buddy, it's genuine. Time is slower. People have
learned to just be more at peace and not focus
about on what celebrities are doing, or the misery and
tragedy that's going on in the world, or it just
(37:50):
it's a part of life. Everything is a part of life.
My little bird disappearing from his nest, it's just a
part of life. And then you move on. It's fascinating
to me, nobody here is bothering to race the rat race. Here,
(38:11):
it's just about living your life, feeling blessed and truly
experiencing every day, every minute, every minute as it comes.
And because of that, my negative moods, my moods of sadness,
of misery, just seem to no longer be an issue.
Every place I look, every place I've visit, every place
I drive to, every conversation I have just makes my
mood better. Whether it's in the supermarket, the GYMDI doctor,
(38:34):
or a diner, the supermarket. I already said the supermarket,
but we love the supermarket. Everybody always seems to just
be in a good mood, especially in the supermarket. You're
in a supermarket. Think about it, So do you go
to supermarket and complain about the cost of food, or
do you go to supermarket feeling blessed that you're going
to buy food and that your ass is gonna be
at home in about half an hour to an hour
(38:55):
eating some of the junk you bought. It's like children,
think about it. Children don't go to the supermarket, and
I know they're not focusing on the money, but they're
focusing on what gift they're gonna get inside the cereal box,
which they don't do anymore. But when I was a kid,
that's all they cared about.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
To me.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
The supermarket was this cereal eye and that's why I
have that batis. But you know what toy is in
the cereal box? That was the greatest. I'd pour the
whole box out just to pull out a little magnifying
glass or a stupid puzzle. But it meant everything to me.
It was everything to me, and then I would eat
(39:35):
sugar like crazy. Let's talk about emotional awareness. Name it,
to tame it, to control it. Labeling your mood is
a powerful tool. Instead of saying I feel bad, say
I'm feeling anxious or I'm feeling discouraged specificity. Specificity helps
(40:00):
reduce overwhelm and opens the door to change. Don't just
be numb to it. Don't just yeah whatever, I'll just
ignore it. No, focus on it. Why do you feel
the way you do? What made you change? You're good
ten minutes ago? What happened? Practicing mindfulness allows you to
(40:22):
observe your mood without reacting impulsively. You hold it in,
You hold it in, You hold it in. Before you
know you just lose your shit? What am I feeling
right now? Where is this feeling showing up in my body?
Who just pissed me off? Was I driving in? Somebody
(40:42):
in that car over there gave me the finger? Yeah.
A few weeks ago, I was driving on the highway
and there was a car in front of me. I
was driving like seven miles an hour, and I'm getting
on the highway right. So this person stays there and
there's traffic on my left so I can't go in.
So all of a sudden, that car finally gets off,
(41:04):
So then I get off behind him, and then the
person that was behind me drives by me and gives
me the finger because I'm driving too slow. Obviously, people
and that drive don't realize that there are cars in
front of you. But uh so, now what am I
gonna do? Oh my god, back at you too? I
(41:25):
really don't care. That's an ego. How dare he he
hurt me or or give me the thing? I don't
really care. I just wish him well. I hope he's
he did that, Maybe because he's he's having a shitty day.
Maybe he just found his wife is cheating on him,
or his dog shit on his bed this morning. Now
he feels he's gonna share, share and spread that anger
(41:48):
over that bad mood. To me, you're not going to do.
You're not going to I put up a wall. I
pray for you, and I wish you well. You're a dork,
but still labeling. Labeling your mood is a powerful tool.
I'm telling you. Practicing mindfulness allows you to observe the mood. Breathe,
(42:13):
breathe when things happen, when you feel like you're gonna
lose your shit instead of like I hate when people
say this, like, oh that guy pissed me out, kick
his ass and then go to jail. How stupid. Like
we're not in seventh grade anymore. We're adults now. Rage
doesn't control us. Thoughts are thoughts do? Our mindset does,
(42:38):
And it's what you do with it. It's your power,
of your power of intention. What are your intentions today?
To me, the power of intention is a superpower. It
can it can bring you millions. You can succeed at anything,
or by making one poor decision, you can spend the
(42:59):
rest of your life life behind bars. I watch a
lot of crime TV, and I'm always fascinated when somebody
decides to do a stupid thing which took what three
four minutes to do, and now they're spending the entire
rest of their lives in jail. It's the intention that
(43:30):
you can create throughout your life. Now, this is not
just to write down some positive statements and repeat them
over and over again and trying to create a habit
of repeating words over and over again, because that's all
you're doing. I do believe in it to a degree.
But if the world is coming completely undone in your
life and you're at the point that you almost feel
that you can't be saved, but I'm going to repeat
(43:51):
a positive statement every morning and every night, hopefully that
this will keep me afloat hopefully hopefully. Chances are it's
probably not going to work. I know a lot of
people are like, what, yeah, Because here's the secret. The
secret to this is intention. It's the positive intention, the
true belief behind what you're saying. Do you feel it is?
(44:13):
It's to actually believe in and not just say it
over and over, but to feel and to know that
it's going to happen, that it's happening, and you know what,
I take that to feel that it is happening. As
I used to say often in my early podcast, if
you're in a horrible mood, or somebody comes up to
(44:35):
you and says, let's go have an ice cream cone,
usually for most of us to send some nostalgia kicks in.
And I like to consider from being a kid when
my mom would take me. She'd pull me out of
school if I wasn't feeling well, or sometimes just pull
me out of school and we would end up in
a restaurant up north called Friendly's, where I would start
my meal with some soup, either split pea or chicken soup,
(44:58):
and then of course the ice cream Sunday. It was
bigger than my head. Back then, I have a big head,
which made everything feel good except for my future diabetes.
But as that point, at that point when somebody says,
do you want ice cream and you're in a shitty mood,
(45:18):
I'd be surprised at for the next few minutes, half
hour hour you continue to be in a shitty mood,
I'd be surprised after the next few minutes, half hour
after you continue to want to go kill somebody and
you haven't even any in the ice cream yet. Think
about that, the right person saying the right thing can
(45:43):
shift your entire mindset for the day, change your mood.
It's powerful when you have good friends that won't push
your buttons but spread love. That's why I can't help
(46:06):
with Tell people do you have pets? Do they have cat? Dog? Fish?
Even fish? Fish? And fish don't do anything you can't
bet them. Yeah, ever, sit in front of a fish
tank filled to fish for like half an hour. We
used to have one until my brother bought this one.
Large red oscar fish which ate everything death. But sitting
(46:27):
there watching them I used to I was a kid.
I was like, this is better than TV. But I mean,
there's an animal shelter in almost every town in district
and region. Spending time with my dog, spending time with
my cats, spending time with my birds, spending time with
my chicken, spending time petting the horses. How magical. If
(46:49):
you don't have any of that, go to your shelter, volunteer.
If you can't get anything.
Speaker 3 (46:55):
To me.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
When you open your mood to animals, you allow them
to enter you, and their unconditional love changes your day completely.
Here's a secret. If you're having a really bad day
and you have access to a horse. You're like, what, Yes,
there are places you could actually volunteer for. My friends
up in Connecticut, there's a lot of horse stables. Go
(47:19):
brush one as their loose fur comes off onto the brush,
show does your stress, your worries, your complaints. It's a magical,
magical experience that I've never thought I would experience, and
now I get to almost every day do that, And
for that I'm blessed. But I'm not saying that. To
(47:40):
repeat saying is just to try to fill them and
with some actual magic behind these words, reality of what
you're saying. That's how I usually tell people when they
come to me asking for positive manifestations. I think it's
difficult to give you mine or even to like, you know,
(48:03):
if anything else, you know, look them up on Google,
look them up on the Internet. But the bottom line
is really you could use it for inspiration, but you
need to write your own based on how you feel.
That's where the connection is. You writing a clear and
concise intention directed to your heart that when you say
(48:23):
it it vibrates you. There's no right there's no wrong phrase.
It's just what comes out of your heart and the
way it comes out. That's what you continue to say,
because you can begin your day with you know, today
I will be calm and open. It's a simple saying.
(48:43):
Today I will be calm and open. It doesn't have
to be this. I will make money, and I will
be healthy, and i will believe in myself, and I'll
believe in the system. I'll believe in the universe. Today,
I will be calm and open. Today, I will be
at peace. Today, I will be at peace. Today. I
will be at peace. Today, I will be at peace.
(49:06):
This guides your energy and choices. Notice that wasn't a paragraph.
Notice that wasn't one hundred and fifty words or just
super over the top positive sayings. Simple today, I will
be calm and open. That's it. I believe the simple
ones are the ones that stick to you. Plus they're
easier to remember. Besides positive sayings, you can begin your
(49:26):
day with a great mood simply by thinking of all
the things that you were able to experience yesterday, the
lessons learned, and that today isn't just another chance to
learn some more, to love some more, to hopefully laugh
a lot. I personally have many Alexas in my house,
even out in the barn in the garage, and I've
(49:48):
always froughnt myself with music, which usually based on my
mood laugh aloud, but I just love the sound of music.
Next time you get a chance to ask Alexa to
laugh autloud, I see it as inspirational. Now, remember this
isn't just mental. This is also physical, especially now with
the heat. Stay healthy, stay hydrated and nourished. I believe
(50:12):
the greatest wealth. You're ready, what's the greatest wealth in
the world. Yes, it is health. It's funny. It takes
quite a few years to learn this saying, because when
you're young, you feel that wealth is based on what
the kind of car you drive, or how much money
you have, and then you find yourself sick one day,
not being able to drive your fancy car anymore, and
(50:35):
then realize that all the money in the world can't
save you. Do your research. There are many very extremely
successful people and that had more money than you will
ever have, who passed away simply, let's say by cancer.
Good example with Steve Jobs. Greatest wealth is your health.
(50:56):
Get up there, walk, not stroll. Walk, get your beating
in your chest, get sweaty, do some exercise. Lift You
don't have to lift the jeep, but you can lift
some weights because it is proven, especially as you get older,
it is the best form of exercise for you. Then
(51:17):
of course, now body, what about your mind? Surround yourself
with positive people and not pieces of shit. Surround yourself
with positive people and not pieces of shit. Who you
surround yourself with is how you will see the world.
Be with people that want to be with you. Talk
(51:38):
to people that inspire you, and that in return, you
can inspire them too. This is a big part of
practicing acts of kindness. Ask yourself right now, who inspires
you in your life? Who makes you smile, Who makes
you believe in you, who makes your heart flutter, who
makes your day better? Who cares for you? You? And
(52:01):
I mean like really cares. Now? Are these people that
you're spending time with, Are these people that you're breaking
bread with? Are these good people that you're surrounding yourself with?
Or are you wasting your time with misfits? With people
that all they want to do is be negative and
talk down about others. Because if they're talking about others,
(52:21):
they're talking about you. And if you're still friends with them,
think about that for a minute. You have a friend
that criticizes others, And I just said they criticize you,
and you know they criticize you'll say it and you're
okay with this, Then you have zero value of life
of yourself. Hang with people that understand that they don't
(52:48):
need you in your life. They need a psychologist. There's
nothing that you can do to help it. If you
really don't, if you really care for yourself, you really
care for them, the best thing you can do is
find them the help they need. Because you can't help
them by listening, you're not doing anything. A true friend
(53:09):
will help them get the help they need. Not listening
without listening because you feel that you're doing them a favor,
you're not. You're just enabling their misery. You're cheering them
on by listening. Some may agree with me, some may not.
But you're welcome to have as I said, you are
own podcast, Go to speaker. There's a lot of places
(53:29):
now that you can have your own podcast. I am
a strong believer in honesty and in tough love. I
appreciate when people tell me how it is. It may hurt,
but usually because it's true. A real friend who will
say some tough love that may hurt you but it's
where it comes from. And they're only telling you because
they truly care for you and somebody has to tell
(53:49):
you the truth, whereas you may have a friend that
just yeses you to death and agrees with everything you
have to say. They're just pieces of shit, just enable
people for no reason. I'm sorry, but they may be
a miserable person, but you are a piece of shit
for doing that type of person, doing that to a
person and just enabling them, egging them on. A real
(54:13):
friend tells them what they need to do to better themselves.
And trust me, there's more than enough help out there
to find it. You can't offer it, So stay away
from those mood drainers. Say no to unnecessary stress, limit
time with toxic people, reduce exposure to negative media. It's
(54:34):
proven more and more what you listen to, who you
surround yourself with. Even music, even television can cause stress,
that negativity that the media constantly tries to scare us with.
Even music, even television can cause stress. The negativity that
the media constantly tries to scare us with, that worry
that's created over things that usually haven't even happened and
(54:58):
then end up never happened. How many times has the
world come to an end by a cult? Think about that.
I did a show about that way in the beginning.
Look it up. If it makes you stress out for
even a moment, turn it off. It's not important. It's
not important to me. People that do this is because sadly,
they don't know their own value. They don't know how
(55:21):
special they are, how special you are. So they choose
this around themselves with people that allowed them to live
in their head, run free, and feed them fear and
more fear and more fear because that's good for you.
That's called sarcasm. And it's fascinating because just watching the
media and even the Weather channel. I now watch a
(55:42):
guy called Ryan y'all on YouTube. Highly recommend them. Ryan y'all.
He has a page on YouTube and down here in
Kentucky he is like everything. Everybody here follows him, and
actually all the Southern States. Whenever there's any weather, we
watch him. He goes live with an entire crew of
(56:02):
storm chasers. And it's fascinating because you now that I
think about it, he's never negative, even when he's talking
about horrible hurricanes or destructive tornadoes. He if you watch
it all carefully. You're like, wait a minute. He never
has a bad thing to say about it. His focus
(56:24):
is on what to do in case of a disaster
and how to prepare for it, the smart way to react.
Make sure you have flashlights, make sure you have water,
make sure you take care of yourself in case of
a disaster. You have a storm shelter, do you prepare
how to get there? Do you know how to get there?
You got to create it. It's like having a gun
knowing how to use it. Practice with the same thing
(56:44):
with storm shelter. What's in your storm shelter? Now? What's ready?
What's not? You don't want to wait till the last minute.
When you get there, and all of a sudden, it's
filled with with wasp, which actually happens to us once
they first start off their segment with pictures of that's
the news. Oh my god, It's like, it's funny, the
(57:05):
news hasn't started yet. And if you ever noticed how
they do the intro for the news is coming. They
start off with pictures of tornadoes and floods and disaster
and people like on top of roofs, and then all
of a sudden, that's just their intro so they may
sort of go into like, well it's gonna be ninety
degrees today, it's sunny. Which sun, Or they'll mention the
possibility of a storm. So they're already putting fear into you,
(57:27):
so that you're like, that's called sheep feeding sheep. And
it's like funny because people like, well, what's the big deal.
It affects you physically, it affects you mentally, It slowly
starts to eat you up. Look at this. There's one
(57:49):
that you're watching and it's like a house just picks
up and then a car flies across, and I'm like,
this this can happen to you. It's just well, of
course it can. So are you prepared? Are you just
going to continue to like, oh my god, I'm gonna
be fearful of a storm. Are you prepared? One hundred
percent prepared? Because when you are, there's no fear anymore.
(58:09):
You have nothing to fear. You know what, I used
to be terrified of sharks. Now I live in a
landlocked state. Guess what, I'm not afraid of sharks. Magic.
Same thing goes with anything else. If you can still
say you're afraid of something, it's because you haven't done
your homework, you haven't researched it, you haven't dealt with it,
prepared for it. Instead, you just rather be terrified. You
(58:33):
get off on the feeling. But it's funny Ryan y'all
on YouTube. Everything is preparation. It's a very interesting mindset switch,
your mindset switch your life. Go from a bumbling fool
(58:55):
filled with fear of things that happened happen yet, to
someone who is prepared and ready to do and go anywhere,
to save themselves, to save others, to inspire others to
be prepared during the worst case scenarios. To share with
you a bit of what goes on during a hypnosis session,
quite a bit of it is about the concept of,
(59:16):
as I mentioned before, reframing. By reframing how you see things,
you change the way you deal with things. So it's
not ignoring your problems, it's trying to see them in
a different set of eyes, different light of what the
worst case scenario is, and then what the best case
scenario is, and then involving preparation and understanding whatever your
(59:39):
problem could be. And then you reframe your thoughts. For example,
you could have said I failed, or you can say
I learned what doesn't work. But the problem is there
are these negative loop of mentality, like uh, there's something
(01:00:06):
called black and white thinking, where it's just good or
all bad instead of gray. I like to be gray.
I'm always in the middle. There's always gonna be good,
there's always gonna be bad, and I'm in the middle,
ready for both. And then you have people that are
afraid to ask questions, are just willing to deal with
(01:00:29):
the doubts and the misery of the day. Why you
have Google, you have the Internet. Understand that what you
see is not always real. Most of the time it's
not real at all, especially not with AI. Oh my God,
like I think I thought when AI was coming out,
I thought it was gonna be awesome. I don't like it.
(01:00:50):
Like musicians, now, anybody could be a musician, anybody be
an artist, anybody you know, anybody could do anything. Just
write a sentence. You have it all done right there
things that took people years of talent and practice to do.
But it is reframing your mind. But with your mind,
(01:01:10):
part of your mind is your mouth, and of course
what comes out of your mouth is also going back
into your ears. Your mind is digesting it. It's breaking
down what you keep saying. You know, it's funny. At
some point, I believe it. I'll believe everything you say.
So if you're walking around like a bump on a log,
(01:01:31):
just being depressed and listening to let's say, the news
and believing in everything they say, because if they're reporting it,
it's the truth. And I feel bad for my older
listeners who back in the day the news was factual,
and now they have it they can just they don't
have to report the facts anymore. And that's you know.
And I guess people now are like, no, they have
to because they did. Now they don't. They don't have
(01:01:52):
to report the facts. Their thing is to get listeners,
to get watchers. It's all they care about. So if
they can change things in line exaggerate, they will and
they and they do. Oh they do. Never thought I did.
Is But fake media is true, like tremendously true. But
(01:02:12):
what you say that coming out of your mouth is
your biggest enemy. Your inner voice matters, your that that
that that little voice in your head. Be kind, be patient,
be patient, be encouraging, Talk to yourself like you would
to a dear friend. See each day positively. The magic
(01:02:33):
of gratitude. Every day has something to be thankful for.
Every day you have something to be thankful for, even
on tough days. Just find one bright spot, one positive
thing is happening. Go to Alaska like Aleska Alexa and
ask her to play a good song. Or if you
have Google, if you have anything, or just turn on
to TV, turn on the radio, put on a good song.
(01:02:56):
Every day has something to be thankful for, and not
everything has to be huge small things. Plan a day
where you're just gonna sit and have a good cup
of coffee, go for a walk in nature, spend time
with a loved one, and then you ask yourself what
went well well today? What went well today? What went
(01:03:19):
well today? What are you proud of? Who are you
proud of? And then, of course with that, where do
you want to let go of? What do you want
to release? Second mosquito bothering? You spend the day focusing
(01:03:43):
on being in a good mood, practicing guidance, gratitude, practice gratitude,
reframe your day, see it differently, don't see like, oh
it was a shitty day, Well what came of it?
What lessons did you learn? Even if it was a
shitty day, What did you learn from it? And of
course the affirmations which but my thing is add intention
(01:04:04):
to them. I choose thoughts that serves me. I can feel,
and I can feel and still move around. A lot
of people can't. A lot of people are right now
laying in a hospital bed praying that they can be
outside that window. You're outside that window, not living your life,
and know that you have control of your mind, your
(01:04:26):
mood to shape. I mean, I don't want this episode
to be a temporary mood changer for you. They get
inspired while I'm talking, and then once it's done, you
just get into that bad mood again. You have to
do the work, you have to do the fight, but
you have to get your heart pumping. With that comes
love and you start loving and respecting yourself. All of
a sudden, you're like, you know, I want to make
today work. I want this week to work. I want
(01:04:47):
this month to work. Life isn't always positive, and that's okay.
A good mood doesn't mean ignoring problems. It means facing
them with clarity, confidence and calm. And of course, as
I said about two times, free times support system is everything.
(01:05:09):
You don't have to do this along talk to friends,
seek a therapist, join communities focused on emotional well being,
Join a meditation group. Listen to my Monday Morning meditation
on YouTube. Look me up Jimmy Gozalees Monday Morning Mind's
Eye Meditation. Monday Morning Mind's Eye Meditation, Monday Morning Mind's
Eye Meditation. Because moods can come and go, but your
(01:05:32):
power to influence them is always within reach. By knowing
your patterns or framing your thoughts and choosing small actions
to lift your mood, you begin to live with more intention,
with more presence and joy, and every day is a
new opportunity to see life through a positive lens. Choose
to feel, Choose to shift, Choose to shine. The power
(01:05:54):
is always within you. Now I have in front of
me a picture of the mood ring color meanings. So
going back to people who've never had a mood ring,
and you may wonder what color would you be. I'm
going to read some emotions and you tell me if
(01:06:15):
this is you or not. Are you stressed, anxious or
tense all the time? That is black? So your ring
would be black? Are you nervous or anxious all the time?
Just a little off? You're gray? How about you are calm, relaxed,
(01:06:39):
and peaceful. Ah, that's blue, or you could just be
going somebody going through life normal, neutral, average mood green.
And of course you have a moment that you are excited, optimistic, yellow, energetic,
(01:07:00):
an adventurous, orange, passionate, aroused or angry, fascinating, how passionate,
