There's a profound truth that our lives are shaped by the power of our thoughts. The roots of our actions, our successes, and even our struggles can be traced back to the seeds of thought we plant in our minds. As Henry Ford once wisely said, "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." Our thoughts are the steering wheel of our destiny, and today, we're here to explore the concept of "Thought Training Wheels" – a journey of mastering our thoughts. Just like riding a bike, where we're the riders, and our thoughts steer the front wheel, we're about to embark on a journey to understand the importance of controlling our thoughts and equipping ourselves with the tools to do so. Picture it as a bike ride through the landscapes of your mind, where you hold the handlebars of your thoughts. We'll learn how our thoughts can sometimes spiral out of control, leading to stress and negativity. We'll uncover the crucial skill of Awareness of Thoughts, where recognizing thought patterns is our compass. Then, we'll set the daily course, much like setting a bike's path before pedaling. We'll also discuss the significance of not taking negative thoughts to bed and how the "Flip and Rewrite" technique can transform your night. We'll explore external influences on thoughts, understanding the muddy shoes we should never allow into our minds, and the role of the subconscious, hidden beneath the surface. And of course, we'll dive into the science of rewiring the brain, the concept of neuroplasticity, and how emotions are the fuel that powers this transformation. Finally, we'll guide you through the art of creating a new thought pattern, crafting a path for your mental bike to follow. So, grab your helmets, adjust your seats, and get ready to pedal through the landscapes of your mind. It's time to master the art of "Thought Training Wheels." Join us on this exciting journey as we navigate the power of our thoughts, one pedal at a time. Check out the program that teaches you, your family or group the ultimate empowerment over thoughts, feelings and actions, all in the experiential lesson plans and videos.

Lack of sleep is now being shown as a worldwide epidemic and while we all have those sleepless night because of the late nighter we must pull whether it be a project, diversion, caregiving or priority of needs, missing out on a full night's rest takes a toll on our brain, body, emotions and health. When we skimp on the ZZZ's we are losing out on the longest cycle of the 4th stage of sleep. And stage 3 of sleep, oh my, it is by far my favorite and you'll never look at the brain in the same way when you hear what happens. And.... why is sleep deprivation the leading mode of torture? Are we torturing our own bodies and brains? Dr. Matthew Walker (author of the book, “While you Sleep”, the leading scientist in the study of sleep) regards eating well, exercising and sleep as the 3 pillars of health. He suggests that sleep IS the foundation for the other two and when we elevate our sleep, it elevates all other health endeavors. But what is the consequence of missing out on just 1 hour of sleep? Dr. Walker tells how we are all a part of a mass experiment that happens twice a year. He makes a compelling and bold declaration about sleep. I'm now a believer! .Join us today and then sleep on your new learnings. https://www.levelupteen.com https://www.levelupteen.com/learnmore

It's the person who finds a deeper meaning in a book you are reading, or the one who know exactly where you left the item you can't find. it's important and beneficial for all of us to be better at noticing things.

If there's one thing, we all have in common it's the fact that at some time in our life we have procrastinated something. It may be something that only happened a handful of times but for many of us it is probably a habit that has some consequences attached to it. Maybe it's a deadline that loomed that we left to the last minute, and it created a mass urgency and sacrifice of sleep and health to get it done. Maybe it a healthy habit that we have been meaning to get around to but because there isn't a fixed deadline, we keep moving the start date further and further out. Whether it's lost effectiveness or lost opportunity, procrastination can be the habit that kills dreams. Today we are discussing the myths about procrastination, a description of 6 different types of procrastinators, (haha, you may want to see if you resemble any of them), the fun science behind why we may procrastinate and then 5 brain related solutions that you may have never experienced before. We are going to use our brain on this one. If you are wanting to step into a more Proactive role in your life, this episode will rock your world, or at least give you some ammunition to kick procrastination out the door.

If you've ever created a vision board, you understand the psychology behind putting something visual in front of you in an obvious place where you can not only see it, but you can spend the appropriate amount of time with it to allow your brain to understand how important these goals and dreams are that you placed on this board. Today we're not reinventing that vision board but we're showing you how to level up on your current board. And, if you haven't made one, no problem, we are creating an option to the vision board. Today we're stepping you into the role of producer, director and actor of your own mind movie. Quiet on the set. Let's get ready to roll.

I have been doing vision boards for probably the last 10 years, and they are constantly morphing. I've tried so many different formats and I've learned that even if you make a beautiful composition of your goals and dreams for the next year, UNLESS YOU APPLY THE SCIENCE behind the mind and body, It is like having a car with only a 1/4 tank of gas. Sure, you can get to some places, but imagine the momentum you could have if you had a full turbo tank of gas that never runs out! I have certainly learned what the vision board killers are or those things we do or don't do to utilize them in a way that they were originally created. We're showing 3-4 different ways you can vision boards along with the science of the brain that you need to engage and optimize those dreams and goals that are now place in a visual. Vision Boards are not a mystic wish board. When you learn the science behind it and then apply your action, you will be amazed at the traction that can happen in your life.

Years ago, I was introduced to the phenomenon of picking a word of the year that could serve as a beacon or an overarching theme for your year. I was kind of curious as to why you would pick one word for the year when life is full of changes even on a daily basis, right? After all, the word of your the year, isn't your goals or your resolutions. It's something different. But, a year ago when I finally decided to succumb to something that I found a little intriguing, my eyes were open to why you would want to have a word of the year. Let's explore some intriguing reasons why it would benefit you, how do you come up with the word of the year, and how do you use the word of the year? If I thought this was just a fluffy little motivational word, and of no significance, I don't think I'd be talking about it. But now that I've lived with, embraced, learned how to use my word, I can now tell you that I think you're going want to find your WORD OF THE YEAR!

How would you describe hope? Is it a feeling, an emotion or is it a way of thinking? I think would usually respond well it's a feeling After all, don't we feel or have wishes for other. “I hope you have a great day; I hope you feel better” How would you define hope? But what if it is a way of thinking also? What if hope can be taught? What impact would that have on you and me… on our communities, on the world? Are you someone that could use some hope? I know the power of hope in my own life.

There is hope for everyone. And if life is bleak and tough and confusing, don't despair because you can learn hope. We're going to share some powerful ideas today.

Recently I attended a concert in Las Vegas in a huge arena with about 15,000 people. The large screens flanking the stage and the screens as the set backdrop were in a constant juxtaposition from one musician to another. The producer or visual mixer was carefully crafting what we would see as we were experiencing the sound, feeling and reverberation of the music and the artists performing. We were being led to experience and see what they desired us to see but with 15,000 people, even with the same opportunity to see all the same screens, we were all experiencing the concert in our own unique way. It is the same in life, two people can experience the same thing and because of our life experiences, we interpret it differently. But how powerful if we can start dialing in our lens on what we want to see and focus more optimistically while remaining realistic! Today's episode gives 6 steps for readjusting our lens and training our brain to start seeing what WE want it to see!

It feels like everyone individually is going through some sort of a storm on a personal level and then it's exacerbated and enlarged because of the macro things that are going on in the world. It's good to be informed but if we focus our energies on these crises and breakdowns, we may be giving away our power to them. Whenever we react to things by going into survival instinct or survival mode, we are feeding into unrest, fear, and anxiety and instead of getting through the storms we become swept up in the storms of life. If there's ever been a time when we need to become the eye of the hurricane, it's now. The eye of the hurricane is that sweet spot of the storm where it's calm and quite peaceful while the storm is raging around us. We are able to get into the eye of the storm and remove ourselves or shelter ourselves from the chaos when we stop and focus on some simple tools that can literally CALM THE STORM!
