Luke Storey's EMF Home Safety Master Class Breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show   Find Higher Consciousness In Relationships "In order for me to really be able to have a high degree of objectivity about my relationship behavior, patterns, and what it was underneath that really needed to be healed, I really had to do a hard reset. So, for pretty much 2 years, I did almost no porn, no dating, no sex, no flirting; I mean, I barely even looked women in the eyes. By doing that and with self-care practices such as reading, writing, praying, and meditating, I could start to see what patterns I needed to correct really clearly. As I worked on myself more and more, I discovered that I really wanted to be in a long-term, monogamous relationship pretty much for the first time in my life. At my mid-40s I was ready to finally come out of the Peter Pan phase and settle down in a meaningful way with all of this love I have in my heart." - Luke Storey   Exploring Freedom In Dating "I used to put myself into so many situations relationally where I was always holding my breath and thinking, 'Well, at least I'm not fully committed to this so I'm free." But how is holding your breath being free? Now I'm still shocked at how authentic and real I can be with my girlfriend and that she still loves me. It's not a self- deprecating thing, I just didn't know that you could actually be yourself to this degree and the more myself I am, the more that self is received, loved and accepted, and now I have the capacity to do the same in return for Alyson which is ever-growing." - Luke Storey   Coming Home To Ourselves "Wellness is in the realization fundamentally of who and what you are. Whether your experience of that is within your heart and that energetic field that we each possess or your sense of who you are even as your identity in its limited form. We're all in a sense just lost kids trying to find our way but the person that we all truly need is just ourselves; the heart is where the home is and we're the only home we have."- Luke Storey   Links From Today's Show  The Life Stylist Podcast 285 Luke Storey Luke Storey's EMF Home Safety Master Class Breathwork.io Colin Leibold - Leibold Media Cured Nutrition Alyson Charles 196 Aubrey Marcus Codependent No More by Melody Beattie Beyond Codependency by Melody Beattie Facing Codependence by Pia Mellody Byron Katie 275 Paul Chek Episode 111 - Real As F**K!

Today we’re talking about relationships. More specifically, we’re talking about a helpful tool Adee and Michael have been using to stay connected and maintain a healthy, strong relationship. The Rule of 3 exercise comes from authors and relationship experts Gay and Katie Hendricks. It’s a series of four questions to be answered with your partner. Each person answers all four questions fully (in a journal), and then you share the answers with each other.  This exercise (which is all about owning what you could be doing to strengthen your relationship and better support your partner) requires a bit of vulnerability. It will ask you to recognize where you could be contributing to some of the conflicts or issues within your relationship. But ultimately, we know you’ll find this exercise to be empowering and helpful for deepening your connection with your partner. Try out the exercise and let us know on social media what you think!  We would love to hear from you!

(7:40) Dysfunction exists in every family but we have the opportunity to improve that structure and environment. Our responsibility to break the cycle of patterns and inherited trauma in our families. (8:20) The systems we have inherited that make it difficult for us to be good communicators and have healthy relationships. Origins of marriage and the fact that it was not designed to come from a place of love but to get more in-laws. Marriage, a History: How Love Conquered Marriage by Stephanie Coontz Why he found that there's no better place to start creating than from heartbreak. The relationship rock bottoms we will all face at one point or another to help us face deeper truths. (12:00) Toxic relationships and patriarchy values that have been pushed on us by role models, the media, or religion that don't celebrate individuality. (13:20) The current increase of divorce rate for people in their 60s, 70s, and 80s because women are waking up to the truth of their own experience and their need for an emotional connection with their partner.   [15:00] Embodying And Applying 'Create The Love' Mark Groves Podcast: Making Your Heart Make Sense The moment he realized that he wasn't sure if he wanted to follow through with marrying his ex-fiancée. How breaking up with his fiancée led to the creation of Create The Love and coaching others about relationships. Caroline Myss Radical self-love he experienced when he chose himself for the first time and ended the engagement despite what others would think of him. Why we're all just one rebellion away from becoming who were truly are when we make the conscious choice to make a major life decision.  (17:20) Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl Viktor Frankl The revelation he had that maybe he has another purpose on this planet than just being a provider in a relationship after reading Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl. (18:00) Steps he took to let go and unlearn everything he had been taught from a young age about relationships in order to launch Create The Love. Why it's hard for someone that is close to you to give you advice without thinking of how it will affect them.   [22:00] Should I End The Relationship? Three Questions To Ask Yourself The three questions someone asked him that helped confirm it was time to end his engagement. (22:00) An emotional charge he felt when woke up to the fact that he is responsible for his life and everything it including the people that are part of it. His past fear of connection and being loved to the point that ran away from everybody who could love him and just called it "fate." It's true that we can feel a lack of connection to other people but do you run from people who could care about you? (25:50) Why it's healthy to feel a lot of pain and shame when you begin taking responsibility for your life and choices. How to begin looking at the relationship patterns that already exist in your family tree to find out if you're in one now. (29:20) Keeping true to yourself, believing that you're worthy of love, and being loyal to what you really want in a relationship with someone else.   [30:50] Common Relationship Patterns & Cycles It Didn't Start with You by Mark Wolynn Common relationship patterns and cycles that most people find themselves in such as not feeling like you're not a priority, being narcissistic, or thinking that everything is your fault. Mark's own belief pattern that kept coming up in his dating life and relationships - "No one will ever choose me." A lot of our wounds are not our fault but we still have to take action and be responsible for them. (34:40) Eckhart Tolle Why many people feel so much pain about their childhood that they believe they should have experienced a different one when really that belief is just a fantasy and they're not connected to reality. Habits of spiritual bypassing when we focus on "just choosing love or positive vibes" and not accepting reality, all of our emotions, and authentic truth. Digging into the truth and realizing that our false stories and beliefs are not serving us. (38:50) Self-sabotaging habits when we make time for anything that is a distraction from doing the inner work and prioritizing ourselves. Why we make it a habit of subcontracting all of our healing to our partners and expect them to make us happy when it's actually our responsibility to uncover our own joy.   [40:00] Relationship Revelations Of Modern Society Everyday shame we're seeing about relationships in memes, the news, and real life. Why some people stay in unhealthy relationships for far too long because of pressure from society, religion, or family. The length of a relationship is not a predictor of actual relationship success even though society has made it out to be that way for decades. The new shift of seeking relationship depth and prioritizing that over the amount of time we're in a relationship with other people. Actual victories and milestones we should be celebrating in relationships other than just anniversaries. (41:30) 288 Greg Woodhill 055 Gay & Katie Hendricks   [44:00] Overcoming Porn Addiction & Other Obsessions The work he has done with porn addicts and his approach to helping him. An idea that if we remove the sex, it's actually the story that people are eroticizing when they watch porn. His belief that all addiction is sourced from the need to distract from a feeling. How to identify feelings that we're afraid of because we'll often try to save other people from them. Steps we can take to move through addiction by first recognizing and accepting the truth that there is a problem. (45:00) His own use of using drinking as a means to numb social anxiety and feel more comfortable talking to girls, deal with heartbreak, and forget his values. When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön The Buddhist principle of the reframed explored in the book, When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön, and how to explore it with a coach or therapist. Why we are naturally attracted to the things that hurt us the most especially as we are invited to heal.   [50:00] The Space Between Our Head And Our Heart The greatest teachers and messengers in our lives and they don't necessarily have to have an academic background. Letting Go by David R. Hawkins Why many of us use manipulation as a coping strategy and just pretend to be vulnerable. (51:00) How our past experiences and inner work today is setting us up for what we will receive in the future. Josh's current focusing on giving more love without expecting to have something in return. How to approach the conflict that comes up when what you what in life is different than your partner's. What steps you can take to hold onto your authentic self and still be in love without co-dependency. (53:00)   [54:00] Don't Take Your Relationship For Granted The radical truth that someone's partner can leave them at any moment which makes choosing them all the more powerful. (54:00) In return, the privilege of being chosen should not be just washed away nor taking the other person for granted. The problem with taking your partner for granted and not doing the work just because you're married and have a contract with them. We can only love someone as much as we're willing to be hurt by them because every time we open up to someone, we're opening up further to pain. How to be open, accept, and work with the darkest part of ourselves so that they no longer run our lives. 275 Paul Chek Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller Codependent No More by Melody Beattie Loving Bravely by Alexandra H. Solomon Tony Robbins Abraham Hicks Sheri Salata Deepak Chopra The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra Russell Brand Why we don't need all of these teachers, coaches, and wellness influencers' messages because they all remind us of who we are so that we don't need them.

Mark has a fun, no holds barred, no BS approach to exploring the human condition and the fundamentals of all our human connections.   Power Quotes From The Show   What To Do When Your Relationship Hits A Wall "Is your partner making you a better human being? If they're not, there are some really good questions you should now ask yourself: Are they making you a worse human being? Do their values relate to your values? Do they have integrity and keep their word? Do you? Those are the questions I ask people when they've hit a wall in the relationship or they're complaining about their partner. The biggest factor of rejoining one's self is choosing yourself for the first time." - Mark Groves Why Anniversaries Aren't A Relationship Success Indicator "We often hear from older generations that people don't take commitment seriously these days. Well, some people don't but some people who have didn't take it seriously or they had side issues back in the day. If we say that people leave relationships too early now, I'd like to put on the table that people stayed far too long in a relationship before. We make relationship length the predictor of relationship success and sure, that's one marker of it but as soon as you know anyone who hates each other who's together, it's kind of eroded the value of that number. Now, we're in this revolution where we seek relationship depth."  - Mark Groves Taking Responsibility For Our Wounds "A lot of our wounds are not our fault but they're our responsibility. We might not have been dealt the best hand in life but we can have the mindset that we're going to play these cards well. When we step into that space, then we're empowered." - Mark Groves   Links From Today's Show Alan Watts Organifi David Deida Marriage, a History: How Love Conquered Marriage by Stephanie Coontz Caroline Myss Mark Groves Podcast: Making Your Heart Make Sense Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl Viktor Frankl It Didn't Start with You by Mark Wolynn Eckhart Tolle 288 Greg Woodhill 055 Gay & Katie Hendricks When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön Letting Go by David R.

"Am I afraid of outshining other people? Am I afraid that there is something fundamentally wrong with me? Am I afraid that if I have more success it will bring more of a burden to me? Am I afraid that if I get more successful it will mean I will have to leave behind and be disloyal to people who were there for me in the past? So those kind of questions, I think every successful human being needs to make." How do you stop self-sabotaging your success? Gay breaks it down and brings it home.

Change is difficult and terrifying in general. To make a huge, dramatic shift in your life is terrifying because what you do is so based on your identity and that's probably the hardest part about that experience. There's more to it than just quitting a job and starting something new; it's about answering the question, "Who am I now?" It's all about the identity and the most difficult fear to overcome is regret. - Dr. Cortney Warren JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE Doesn't it drive you crazy to not know why events, whether good or bad, happen in life? Well, here's the answer: just don't even think about it because we don't know why things happen and we never will. It's actually better for us if we just accept something and move on by focusing on our present reality. In Wellness Force Radio episode 177, Clinical Psychologist, Researcher, TEDx Talk Speaker, and Author of Lies We Tell Ourselves: The Psychology of Self-Deception, Dr. Cortney Warren will share why the only certainty in life is change, how to observe and accept yourself without judgement, and how you can develop the psychological strength to change your life despite feelings of fear. By the end of this episode, you will be able to uncover which of your thoughts are actually lies in order to end self-deception once and for all. When you are ready for change, you are ready to grow. Lies We Tell Ourselves: The Psychology of Self-Deception   Get your copy of Lies We Tell Ourselves: The Psychology of Self-Deception by Dr. Cortney Warren. Humans are excellent liars. We don’t like to think of ourselves as capable of lying; it hurts us too much to admit. So we lie to ourselves about that, too. As a clinical psychologist, I am regularly confronted with the brutal truth that we all lie. I am not talking about deliberate, bold-faced lying. No, this type of dishonesty is far harder to detect and admit. It is the kind of lying that comes from not being psychologically strong enough to be honest with ourselves about who we are. And I believe that it is our biggest obstacle to living a fulfilling life. I wrote this book for anyone interested in becoming more honest. In it, I present a range of self-deceptive examples couched in psychological theory to help us explore ourselves. Although it is a relatively short book—indended to be read in about an hour—I hope that the content provokes deep thought. For only when we are honest about who we really are, do we have the opportunity to change. Listen To Episode 177 As Dr. Cortney Warren Uncovers: What the terms "honest liars" and self-deception mean to her as well as why it's vital that you don't let your emotions manifest within yourself. The choice that you have to make: Not change at all because you're afraid of what it will cost you or actually do something different. A healthy way that you can rebound from painful experiences and external tragedies. Why therapy is not only a tool but a gift that can help you with your struggles. How you can begin to better understand yourself by taking the time to look at your childhood. In her clinical experience - how men and women compare and differ when it comes to feeling emotions such as sadness or anger.  Analyzing cultural messages and why standards about emotion aren't right at all when it comes to what's appropriate for the individual. Why she decided to leave her academic profession for a different career path. How people develop the psychological strength to change their lives even though it might be scary. Why it's so difficult to overcome regret. The importance of becoming self-aware and observing yourself without judgment in order to confront your thoughts and behaviors. Why writing down your personal observations of yourself can be so beneficial for your emotional wellness and to help you stop lying to yourself about who you are. Addictions to technology and how you can improve your relationship with your phone. How she uses yoga breathing and progressive muscle relaxation to help her patients. Designing your home and work environment to avoid any stimuli that will trigger a response. The power of systematic desensitization and how it helps improve cognitive behavior. How you can become more honest yourself now and forever by beginning to challenge the lies that you tell yourself every day. The lies that adolescents tell themselves about who they are and their appearance. How you can analyze and improve your binge eating habits. Her own revelation that she needed to let go of her addiction to perfection. Power Quotes From The Show   "The biggest predictor of change is misery. Someone is more likely going to change when they can't stand living their life the way it is today. That's when people are ready to change their lives because what they're doing now is not fulfilling." - Dr. Cortney Warren "We need to stop asking why bad things happen. We don't even know why and you just can't know nor do you necessarily need to know. What you need to know is that this is your reality today. So, what are you going to do with it?" - Dr. Cortney Warren "Therapy is a gift. Therapy is indicative of you being brave and willing to look at yourself on a more deeper, internal level. That takes a tremendous amount of courage because it's much easier to go ahead and just avoid it." - Dr. Cortney Warren "Just allow yourself to pause. When you're in the midst of a strong, emotional experience, it is the worst time ever for you to make any big-time decisions. If you act out in the moment based on your emotions, you're denying yourself the opportunity to learn more about yourself." - Dr. Cortney Warren "Start to think of your life as a big experiment and you are the scientist. Say to yourself, "I'm going to try something different and I'm going to see what I learn about myself in the process." How does it feel to be without your phone for example? Are you fine or is it incredibly uncomfortable? See this as a self-awareness process without any negativity or judgment." - Dr. Cortney Warren Links From Today's Show   Dr. Cortney Warren Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google+ YouTube Choose Honesty Lies We Tell Ourselves: The Psychology of Self-Deception by Dr. Cortney Warren The Naked Truth Blog Dr. Cortney Warren in Psychology Today You Are An Excellent Liar Denial Documentary  My Name is _____ and I'm a Recovering Liar I am NOT an Addict! The intertwined world of self-deception and addiction. Your Right to an Opinion Does Not Make Your Opinion Factual Minimizing Anxiety, Honestly Dr. Jordan B. Peterson David Deida WFR 055 Gay & Katie Hendricks  About Dr. Cortney Warren As the child of two college professors, Dr. Cortney Warren was raised in an academic environment. In addition to attaining a formal education in the classroom, she traveled extensively, getting a “real-world” education. Before the age of twenty, Cortney had lived in Australia and Argentina and traveled throughout Central America, South America, Russia, Scandinavia, and Western Europe. Exposed to a diversity of cultures and lifestyles from an early age, she was intrigued by the ways cultural and environmental conditions affected the psychological well-being of individuals, groups, and even entire societies. Her interest in psychology and issues of cultural diversity took academic shape as an undergraduate at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. Under the exceptional mentorship of Drs. Jaine Strauss (Macalester College) and Nancy C. Raymond (University of Minnesota), Cortney developed a strong interest in the cultural components of eating disorders and undertook supporting research and clinical activities. Through her formal and informal learning experiences, Cortney saw the ways in which we lie to ourselves on a daily basis and the danger that it posed to our emotional well-being. Helping people understand themselves and see their own self-deception became a fundamental part of her clinical practice, research, teaching, and personal way of life.

When I work with clients, we look at their intimate relationship with SELF: In To Me I See.

I will share the path to freedom with listeners on how to unblock the flow of what they desire into their lives… so when they take Divine Action they get exponential results. Client Success Example: I’ve been working with Allana for over 2 years and when I first started I was in a really dark place. I lost my soul mate suddenly and tragically. I had no idea how to dig out and I also realized I didn't know who I was at all. It is hard to put into words what working with Allana has done for me. She has helped me always to find the good in the bad, find perspective, stop judging myself and to stop caring about what others think. She is teaching me to find my bliss in life, beauty in pain, to walk through the fire and see the magnificence on the other side. She has taught me to feel into situations. I am stronger and mentally much healthier now. Value To My Listeners: Eben Pagen (David de Angelo) “Allana lends insights into why a few dates isn’t fulfilling us.
