Get Out of Your Head & Into the Mind"In Your Head" means thinking from the primitive brain. That's the non-human brain used for instinctive response and not for thinking. It's self-centered thinking that causes stress. The primitive brain is negative, selfish, and always wants more. This is what I call thinking from the head. The mind is the universe outside the body. The mind has unlimited knowledge and information about the past, present, and future. The function of the mind is for creativity and innovation. Creativity to solve problems to help others and innovation to develop new products, services, and new companies to improve the world.Living in the mind can be used in all situations. For example, healthy nutrition. The head demands junk food, and the mind makes healthy choices. The head wants no sleep. The mind knows eight hours of sleep are required. The head fears exercise. The mind knows one hour of exercise is needed every day. The head is always thinking about problems. The mind has solutions. The head does circular negative thinking and self-pity. The mind is positive and creative to help others. The head has self-critical thoughts. The mind has courage and inspiration. Get out of your head and into the mind. The mind is the universe filled with unlimited information and knowledge. Slow the brainwaves and live in the mind quieting all negative thoughts from the primitive brain. Live in the mind with creativity to solve problems and help others, courage to be your authentic self, and inspiration to improve the world.Dr. Gary Epler / Eplerian Life Philosophy

Who Are You? What Is Your Purpose?Dr. Gary Epler – Know who you are by knowing where you're thinking from moment by moment. Be your authentic self. Be human. Quiet the primitive brain self-centered stress center. Think from your heart with kindness and think from the mind, which is outside the body, with creativity to help others. If you are being your authentic self, then you automatically know your purpose, and it's an inspiring people-centered purpose. Knowing your purpose gives you better health, resilience, and meaningful relationships. You have increased creativity, performance, and a happier, more enjoyable life. Finally, you will make decisions based on your purpose, and these decisions will have a positive impact on the world around you.Being a non-authentic person means thinking from the primitive brain, which is negative and obsessed with self-centered thoughts. Non-authentic people are often unclear and confused about their purpose, or their purpose can be self-centered resulting in doing anything to get what they want. Their decisions are egocentric and what's best for themselves, not what's best for other people or the community. Who are you? Be your authentic self. Stay true to yourself. What is your purpose? It's from the mind with creativity to help others and from your heart with kindness. Be human.Dr. Gary Epler / Eplerian Life Philosophy

Live in the mind for an extraordinary life filled with high energy, peak performance, and enduring joy. Living in the mind means thinking from the mind. Instead of thinking from the primitive brain with limited and negative thoughts all day, think from the mind with unlimited positive thoughts, creativity, and joy. Think from the mind and live in the mind.How do you connect with the mind? Slow down the brainwaves. We can think from the mind because the human brain has a region called the prefrontal lobe cortex. It's above the eyebrows and is the most advanced brain on the planet. When the brainwaves are slowed down, the prefrontal lobe can connect with the mind. The mind is the universe filled with unlimited information and knowledge about the past, present, and future.Live in the mind for an enjoyable life moment by moment.

Listen Up! Listening Strategies for SuccessKnow where you're thinking from moment by moment. For effective and healthy listening, think for your heart with kindness and from the mind with creativity. Talking and listening are equally bound together. What you say affects what the other person hears, and what you hear affects what the other person says. For example, speaking is related to pace, pitch, and volume, determining how the other person listens. Go too fast for some people, and they won't hear what you're talking about. Most commonly, there's 80% talk and 20% listening. For healthy communication, talk and listen in balance equally with 50% talking and 50% listening. Listening will create a new world of increased productivity, positive relationships, and success. Listen with your heart with kindness. Listen with the mind for attention and help others. Be your true, authentic self for healthy and productive communication.Dr. Gary Epler / Eplerian Life PhilosophyCopyright© 2024 by Gary Epler, M.D. All rights reserved.

Master Your Self-ControlApply the principle of knowing where you're thinking from. Avoid primitive brain thinking, and think from your heart and the mind, which is outside the brain.Self-control is the ability to manage our emotional response and behavior to impulses, temptations, and difficult situations.Successful self-control is learning to think from the heart with kindness to yourself and others, and thinking from the mind, which is outside the brain, with creativity to solve problems and help people.Avoid primitive brain selfish thinking. Thinking from the primitive brain results in unhealthy and rude behavior. Think from the heart with kindness and the mind with creativity. This is human thinking. This is being your true authentic self. Thrive in your uniqueness. Dr. Gary Epler / Eplerian Life Philosophy

Eplerian Life Philosophy for Building a Global Civilization of KindnessThink like a human from your heart with kindness and the mind to help others. Don't think like a non-human from the primitive brain with anger and stress. Primitive brain thinking is about yourself. Human thinking is about everyone else. What's the primitive brain? The brain starts as a pod of cells and develops into a primitive brain, which is needed during infancy for instinctive survival. The brain continues to develop for 25 years ending in the advanced human prefrontal lobe. The primitive brain remains active for instinctive lifesaving reactions, but after infancy, thinking from this primitive brain with self-centered thoughts causes stress. This is a built-in warning system to stop thinking from the primitive brain. Thinking from the primitive brain causes anger and stress.Break the primitive brain thinking habit. Understand the negative consequences of primitive brain thinking. Recognize primitive brain thinking and stop. Human thinking is from the heart with kindness, the gut for nutrition and risk management, the body for strength, and the mind for creativity to help others. Primitive thinking destroys close personal relationships. Think from the heart with kindness with no thoughts about yourself for long-lasting close relationships.Here's what I would like to have you do. Look around and observe primitive brain behavior, don't say anything, but you stop doing this behavior, or feel good about yourself because you don't do this behavior. If everyone stops primitive brain thinking, then we will be living an extraordinary life in a global civilization of kindness.

Maximize Your Social HealthSocial health is the capacity to create trust, develop meaningful connections, and make a positive contribution to society.The seven indicators of social health include kindness from the heart, high level happiness, zero level stress, healthy nutrition lifestyle, eight hours of sleep every night, one hour of exercise every day, and daily meditation.There are seven supplemental indicators. These include always being engaged in life, learning something new every day, gratitude and appreciation, positive social interaction, giving outside yourself, positive contribution to society, and always being your true authentic self.How does it feel to have a 7 social health score? You feel like you can deal with anything that comes your way. You're happy. You're energized and full of life. Here's another one for 15 indicators: Maximize your social skills.The social health score can be used for companies, communities, and countries. What's your company's score? What's your country's score? Begin your quest for a 7 out of 7 social health score. Dr. Gary Epler / Eplerian Life Philosophy

What are 7 healthy habits of people who rarely get sick?(1) Healthy nutrition, (2) Sleep, (3) Exercise, (4) No stress and no other bad health habits, (5) Updated immunizations, (6) Cautious use of medications and surgery, and most importantly, (7) Always be your true authentic self.I define a healthy nutrition lifestyle as “eating the right foods in the right amount at the right time and prepared in a healthy manner.” The right food are foods with no added sugar, no added salt, and no processed food.Eight hours of sleep are needed every night because six of them are to recharge the brain energy adenosine and two hours of dream sleep are for restoring kind feelings from the heart and recharging the prefrontal lobe for optimal social judgment. Less than eight hours is a major cause of stress-related illnesses.One hour of exercise is helpful every day because this gives you energy, keeps the body strong, and maximizes the immune system to keep you from getting sick.Stress is the most important bad habit to eliminate because stress causes inflammation which is the cause of almost all diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Eliminate anger and stress triggers by positive conditioning with three steps.One of the most out-of-control worldwide bad health habit is stage 3 cell-phone dependency. This means having your cell phone in your hand at all times and face up. This is a bad health habit because it causes level 5 to level 10 stress causing illness and disease.Be like people who rarely get sick by having healthy nutrition, 8 hours of sleep, 1 hour of exercise every day, eliminating stress, and be your true authentic self. Dr. Gary Epler / Eplerian Life Philosophy

Making Decisions in 10 Seconds or LessKnow who you are moment by moment which means knowing where you're thinking from. Think from the heart for making important personal decisions and think from the mind for business decisions. You might have a decision about a new job, a new house, or a new relationship. Thinking from the head will keep you up all night thinking about the positives and negatives with no decision in the morning. Instead of thinking from the head with indecision, think from the heart with an instant decision. The function of the heart is to keep itself healthy and has millions of neurons to do this. Therefore, you will receive a ‘yes' or ‘no' whatever is best for your health. What are the problems of not making a decision? Frustration and anger are the immediate problems because people need action. They want to do something. Without a decision all action is stopped. For example, although short-term disappointment, an immediate ‘no” answer is helpful because people can go forward either by doing something to get a yes or abandon the request and move on to something else. In some situations, not willing to make a major decision can have catastrophic consequences. Irreversible events can occur during the delay or a forced, panic decision will have to be made with disastrous results.How do you make an instant decision? Make instant decisions by thinking from the heart with kindness and the mind creativity. How do you use the mind? Remember the mind is not the brain. The brain is limited and negative. The brain is filled with failures, mistakes, and rejections. The brain is selfish. The mind is unlimited filled with all information and knowledge to make decisions. The mind is creative for finding solutions. Courage comes from the mind. The mind is inspirational. You need to be in a slow brainwave state to use the mind, which you learn through traditional eyes-closed meditation or eyes-open meditation.After you make the decision, You need to give three reasons for making the decision. This shows you understand the situation and gives the person or team sufficient help to go forward. If you have no interest or don't want to make the decision, then say “no.” Give the basis for your decision so the person or organization can act by getting more information, going to someone else, or abandoning the request or the project.Instant decisions are needed at home and at work. This eliminates frustration, confusion, and inaction. Make decisions using the heart with kindness and the mind with creativity to find solutions and help others. Make decisions by being your true authentic self with no self-centered thoughts about yourself from the stress center. Gary Epler / Eplerian Life Philosophy

You need to like yourself. This is fundamental for a successful life in many ways. This gives you confidence to engage in life with new experiences and new opportunities. You're more resilient to setbacks and disappointments. You have better close relationships with positive people and will not tolerate negative relationships. You're not wasting time and energy with self-destructive and self-pity thoughts which frees you to be more productive and creative. You enjoy life and appreciate the good things in your life. Stop negative thoughts about yourself by being your true authentic self and thinking from the heart. Accept yourself for who you are with all the good values and the flaws. Stop comparing yourself to others. Stop trying to be someone else. Stop trying to please others. Eliminate self-critical thoughts. Surround yourself with positive-thinking people. Take control of your life. Think from the heart with kindness to yourself and self-compassion. Contribute to society. Contribute by doing positive work for a company or an organization, volunteering, or improving your community. You can't contribute to society by thinking about yourself all day. Instead of thinking from the head by complaining, criticizing, and blam, think from the heart with kindness to people and think from the mind with creativity to help others, courage to be your authentic self, and inspiration to improve the world.Be your authentic self and like the way you are. Think from your heart with kindness to yourself. Think from your heart with giving, gratitude, and appreciation for everything you have. Engage in life. Know what you want, where you're going, and what you're doing. Thrive in your uniqueness. Gary Epler / Eplerian Life PhilosophyCopyright© 2023 by Gary Epler, M.D.All rights reserved.

Turn Off the Stress SwitchStress is activated by self-centered thoughts and thinking about yourself. This thinking is unhealthy and hazardous to people and society. These self-centered thoughts include obvious thoughts such as thinking about your problems, feeling sorry for yourself, or negative thoughts about yourself. Other examples are less obvious such as trying to be someone else or your job title, trying to please others, and thinking about what people think of you. Other less obvious examples include complaining, criticism, and blame as well as jealousy, resentment, and worry. Feeling guilty is stress and means you're thinking about yourself. Unknown examples include trying to gain power and control over people. Be your authentic self to counteract social media and social group manipulation from disinformation. There are serious consequences from relying on self-centered stress center thinking, especially with guilt that can result in property destruction and unsafe communities. It makes sense to turn off the stress switch. Turn off the switch of negative self-centered thinking from the stress center. Think from the heart with giving and kindness to yourself and others. Think from the mind with courage to be your authentic self, creativity to solve problems and help others, and inspiration to improve the world.

Never be 'old'. Age is a state of mind. Some people in their 30s and 40s are old. They look old, act old, and think old. Many people in their 80s, 90s, and 100s are never going to be old. The story begins at infancy. Infants need to use the primitive instinctive brain region to cry for food and a diaper change. After that, thinking from this brain region self-destructs and prevents people from being successful adults making positive contributions to the world. I call this primitive brain region the stress center. People grow old because they don't shut down the stress center. They continue with endless self-centered thoughts and thinking about themselves causing lifelong stress and old age.Apply the principles of the Eplerian Life Philosophy by knowing where you're thinking from. Shut down negative self-centered thoughts from the stress center. Think from the heart with giving and kindness to yourself and helping others. Think from the mind with courage, inspiration, and creativity to solve problems and improve the world.Be your true authentic self. Shut down thinking from the stress center and you'll never be old. Gary Epler / Eplerian Life Philosophy

Be Smarter for Your Next Birthday!Stay smart in an ever-changing world. Know who you are moment by moment, which means you're as smart as where you're thinking from. Be your true authentic self by thinking from the heart and the mind for being smart. Some people get smarter with each birthday.People talk about getting smarter by using the internet and the new AI products. In the past, it's been thought that people get smarter by using more of their brain. There's a better way.Use the mind, which is outside the head and the body. This is a fundamental principle of the Eplerian Life Philosophy. Be yourself, stop thinking about yourself. You can only think from one location at a time. If you're thinking self-centered thoughts from your head all day, then you can't think from the mind for being smarter. The less you think from your head, the smarter you are.Apply this principle in the fast-paced world that changes every day. If you're thinking about yourself from the head, you can't think from the heart, you can't think from the mind, and there is no time for happiness and enjoyment in life. People need to stop thinking about themselves so they can think from their heart with kindness and from the mind to solve problems and help others. Dr. Gary Epler

Social change is going to happen all the time. If you constantly think about how terrible this is going to affect you, then you're going to be stressed. The more you think about it, the more stressed you're going to be. If you limit these thoughts to a few seconds, then the harmful adrenalin cortisol response is neutralized. If you keep thinking these negative thoughts for days, weeks, or months, the adrenalin response will continue causing increased blood pressure, shutting down the digestive system and the immune system, and causing inflammation resulting in heart disease, strokes, and cancer.Social change is inevitable and is out of everyone's control. A healthy way to respond to negative change is to be your true self and limit the anger and stress reaction to less than ten seconds. This allows you to stay out of the anger center and stress center and live your life thinking from the heart with kindness to yourself and others, and thinking from the mind with creativity to solve problems, help others, and innovation to improve people's lives.

Use the neuropathway bypass technique for eliminating stress from negative or difficult people in your life. A neuropathway is a highway of neurons in the brain with a beginning and an end. Neurons transmit information from one brain cell to another. Neuropathway is started from a person or an event and ends with an emotional response that may be negative, neutral, or positive. How to build a bypass around the old stress neuropathway. Build a new one with a positive beginning and a positive ending.In the morning, visualize the image of the negative person in your life and let it trigger the stress feelings in the pit of your stomach. You can do this during your morning routine, exercise program, or during your morning run or walk. When the feelings of discomfort develop, begin saying two soothing words to yourself repeatedly such as “love and peace.” Say the words over and over until the feeling of anger subsides, usually in less than two minutes. If you find yourself upset and in a negative-feedback loop about a person that causes stress, use the neuro-bypass technique to eliminate the stress. It's simple to use, visualize the person, feel the stress, and repeat "love and peace" to yourself over and over until the feeling of stress stops for one to two minutes. After one week it will be difficult to feel the stress, after two weeks, there will be no feeling of stress. If successful, it will eliminate the stress triggered by the negative people in your life.Dr. Gary Epler

Feelings over thinking. Feelings from your heart include kindness, love, giving, appreciation, forgiveness, and gratitude. When you realize that you're stressed from thinking about your problems, think from the heart with kindness to someone, give something to someone, or help someone. You will have zero stress the instant you start thinking from your heart.The feelings from the mind are magnified feelings from the heart and feelings outside the body. These feelings include serenity, total calmness, universal acceptance and belonging, and unconditional love. These feelings also include courage, attention, accomplishment, and success. During the time in the mind, there will be no stress because there will be no self-centered thoughts from the stress center. Feel, don't think. Feel kindness and giving from the heart. Feel energy from your muscles. Feel courage from your mind to be your true authentic self for living an extraordinary life.

There are many ways to get involved in your community including volunteering, coaching, participating in local events, and becoming a town officer. To help the community the most, be your true self. Limit your stress to less than ten seconds by not thinking about your problems or trying to be someone else. Think from the heart with kindness and giving. Think from the mind with creativity to solve community problems and help others.Be your true self. People will trust you and want to hear what you have to say. This will allow you to be influential in a good way for making your community the best place to live.Dr. Gary EplerCopyright© 2023 by Gary Epler, M.D. All rights reserved.

Leave your cell phone out of sight when talking with family, friends, coworkers, and in public. Be engaged in life. It's one of life's pleasures. You have healthy interactions and experience wonderful moments. This means paying attention to life in front of you. It's having purpose in life. This means knowing what you want, what you're doing, and where you're going. This means being your true authentic self. Cell phone dependency is out of control taking away positive social interaction and enjoyment. Stage 3 cell phone dependency is having the phone in your hand at all times in all places, and placing the phone face up. The percentage of these phone-dependent non-engaged people is increasing at an astonishing rate to where people don't talk to each other and have lost healthy conversations, especially deep meaningful conversations. It's an unwanted intrusion. Ghosting has become an easy way out leaving the other person confused, stressed out, and not able to go forward.How to stop cell dependency? First, understand and acknowledge the negative use of the cell phone and its unhealthy effects for you and others. Second, negative phone use reflects people thinking about themselves from the stress center. Be your true authentic self. No thinking about yourself, think from your heart with kindness to others. Think from the mind with solving problems and helping others. Being your true authentic self will instantly eliminate all negative cell phone use.Dr. Gary Epler

Imagine a world where global leaders don't destroy millions of people's lives and their homes. Where there are no angry demonstrations or rallies against people or groups. This can happen.

Selling from the heart is always about the other person. When you talk with someone about selling something, the other person is learning about this for the first time. They're thinking from their ancient brain region, which I call the crocodile brain. So, keep the conversation simple and non-threatening. Speak with feelings and positive emotions. Avoid thinking about yourself and what you need such as thinking about making money or about closing the sale.  Copyright© 2022 by Gary Epler, M.D. All rights reserved.
