In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, the conversation centers on something that quietly controls everything in our lives. Our thoughts. Not the loud negative self talk. The subtle limitations we repeat every single day without even realizing it. I talk about how happiness is an effort. It is a conscious decision. It takes just as much energy to live in scarcity and chaos as it does to live in fulfillment and abundance. The difference is what we allow to dominate our mind. For a long time I did not realize that I was creating the very struggle I was trying to escape. I kept telling myself life was chaotic. I kept reinforcing how hard things were. And I kept getting more of that. Whatever you think about often becomes your reality. Not because it magically appears, but because your brain begins searching for evidence to confirm what you already believe. The Subtle Negativity That Is Slowing You Down This episode is not about obvious self hatred. It is about the quiet phrases that sound harmless but destroy progress. It is too early. I am too busy. It is too far. It is too expensive. I will try. We will see. I do not know enough. I am not ready. Those phrases remove ownership. They remove urgency. They remove responsibility. The moment you say something is too hard or too far, you have already decided it cannot be done. And when you remove urgency and ownership, you remove solutions. I had to confront the fact that my instinct was to focus on how difficult something would be instead of how great it would feel to achieve it. I would say I wanted abundance, but my thoughts were rooted in limitation. I would say I wanted happiness, but I kept repeating that I had a hole in my soul. You cannot build abundance from scarcity rooted thinking. From Hope to Certainty One of the biggest shifts is moving from hope to certainty. I hope the offer gets accepted. I hope it appraises. I hope they do not cut my commission. Hope leaves the door open for failure. A player does not operate from hope. A player operates from certainty. I am going to negotiate the heck out of this. I am going to get this deal done. If this one falls apart, I will find another one. That mindset changes your posture. It changes how you speak to your client. It changes how you show up in negotiations. And most importantly, it changes what your brain looks for. If you are constantly thinking about what might go wrong, you will find evidence of what is wrong. If you are thinking about solutions and dominance, you will find evidence of that too. Your Brain Follows Your Instructions I reference The Answer by John Assaraf because it reinforces something powerful. The brain is malleable. Repeated thoughts create repeated pathways. Over time, those pathways become automatic. Your thoughts literally become instructions for what your brain focuses on. If you constantly tell yourself you are not good at sales, your brain will search for evidence that confirms it. If you tell yourself you are confident, capable, and disciplined, your brain will look for evidence of that. But thoughts alone are not enough. You cannot say you want success and avoid the actions that create success. You cannot say you want to dominate and then avoid making the videos, following up, learning the contracts, mastering the skill sets. Intentional positivity must be paired with intentional action. If you want to be successful, you will do what successful people do. You will reach out. You will follow up. You will study. You will improve. You will do the work. Wants Versus Needs Another subtle trap is operating only from need. I just need one deal. I just need to pay my mortgage. If that is all you ask for, that is all you will get. You will find a way to barely survive. But when you shift to wants, real wants, big wants, your thinking expands. I want to dominate. I want to be top one percent. I want abundance beyond my bills. When you raise the standard internally, your behavior starts aligning with it. The Daily Practice This is a daily battle. Even now, subtle negativity tries to creep in. But I combat it with intentional reinforcement. Today is a good day. I am going to dominate this space. I am going to set appointments. I am going to learn the skills required to be a top producer. Little by little, those thoughts shape behavior. That behavior shapes results. And those results reinforce the belief. If you want fulfillment, think fulfillment. If you want abundance, think abundance. If you want success, think success and move toward it with action. Change your mind. Change your actions. Create the life you have always wanted. Reflective Questions What subtle phrases do you repeat daily that are limiting your growth without you realizing it? Where are you operating from hope instead of certainty in your business or personal life? If you truly believed you would dominate this year, what actions would you take starting today? Notable Quotes "Subtle negativity morphs throughout the day unless you intentionally combat it with positivity." "Hope leaves the door open. Certainty creates solutions." "Your thoughts become instructions for what your brain chooses to focus on."   Follow A.Z. Araujo on Social Media: Instagram: @azaraujo Facebook: A.Z. Araujo TikTok: A.Z.

In this episode, Ian sits down with John Assaraf, entrepreneur, behavioral neuroscience educator, and founder of NeuroGym, for a conversation about the invisible forces that shape performance — long after planning, analysis, and good intentions are in place. John shares his personal journey from a turbulent upbringing to building multiple multimillion-dollar businesses, and the pivotal moment at age 19 that reframed how he thought about success, identity, and commitment. From there, the discussion moves into the neuroscience behind habits, automatic behavior, fear, and why people often snap back to familiar results — even when they know what to do. This is not a trading tactics episode. It's a conversation about execution, follow-through, and the human side of performance — in trading, business, health, and life. About the guest: John Assaraf is a serial entrepreneur who has built multiple multimillion-dollar companies, including helping scale a real estate organization to over $4 billion in annual sales and co-founding a technology company that later went public on the NASDAQ. He is the founder and CEO of NeuroGym, where he focuses on applying neuroscience to performance, habits, and behavior change. John is also the author of several New York Times bestselling books, translated into dozens of languages, and has been featured in films such as The Secret, where many people were first introduced to his work.   Links + Resources:  Free eBook: The Power of Visualization    Sponsor of Chat With Traders Podcast:  Trade The Pool:  http://www.tradethepool.com   Time Stamps: Please note: Exact times will vary depending on current ads.   00:00   Intro and Background 11:16   Mindset Shift: Interested vs. Committed 11:46   Behavioral Neuroscience and Goal Achievement 16:17   Conscious vs. Subconscious Mind 17:12   Creating Permanent Behavioral Changes 21:22   Emotional Regulation and Decision Making 25:30   Overcoming Self-Sabotage 35:20   AddressingFear in Decision Making 42:37   Inner Size: Exercising the Mind 44:27   Self-Sabotage and Financial Set Points 48:21   The Science of Goal Setting 50:17   Visualizing and Embodying Goals 54:40   How to reach John   Trading Disclaimer: Trading in the financial markets involves a risk of loss.

What if your biggest memory struggles have nothing to do with your intelligence and everything to do with how your brain is wired? In this mashup episode, I bring together four of the most respected minds in brain performance and human potential to break down how memory really works and how you can unlock it at a much higher level starting today. If you have ever said “I'm just bad at remembering names,” “I can't focus,” or “I don't retain what I read,” this conversation is going to change how you see yourself. You're going to hear from Jim Kwik, Dr. Caroline Leaf, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and John Assaraf as we unpack the four primary brain types and why trying to learn the same way as everyone else is holding you back. Jim Kwik explains how identifying your dominant brain type allows you to finally work with your mind instead of fighting it. Dr. Caroline Leaf dives into the science of neuroplasticity and how your thoughts and habits literally reshape your brain over time. Dr. Joe Dispenza connects memory, focus, and emotional regulation, showing how stress and identity can either enhance or hijack your ability to learn. And John Assaraf breaks down how belief systems and repetition program your subconscious to either expand or limit what your brain retains. What I love about this mashup is how practical it is. This is not theory for the sake of theory. These are real tools you can use to read faster, remember names, improve focus, make better decisions, and even communicate more effectively with the people around you. You will start to see why some people thrive in fast paced environments, why others excel at deep analysis, and why creativity, empathy, and logic all play different roles in how we store and retrieve information. I truly believe that once you understand how your brain is designed to operate, you stop labeling yourself as broken or behind. You start seeing your mind as an asset that simply needs the right operating system. This episode will help you stop forcing strategies that do not fit you and start building memory, focus, and confidence in a way that feels natural and sustainable. If you are serious about improving your performance, your learning, and your ability to show up at your best, this mashup will give you clarity and momentum. Your brain is capable of far more than you have been taught. It is time to unlock it. Key Takeaways: The four primary brain types and how each one processes information differently Why forgetting information is often a strategy problem, not an intelligence problem How stress, emotions, and identity directly impact memory and focus Practical techniques to improve retention, recall, and learning speed How to communicate and collaborate better by understanding other brain types Why aligning your learning style with your brain wiring accelerates growth ⁠⁠⁠

You'll begin by naming the core desire of your heart, that is, what you truly want to feel and embody this year. From there, you'll create aligned intentions using the Be/Do/Have framework, helping you connect inner identity with practical actions and meaningful outcomes. If you're unsure where to begin, you'll explore the Wheel of Life as a compassionate tool for clarity. Finally, you'll bring your vision to life through a vision board and learn how to stay on course with small, consistent rituals, flexibility, and self-compassion. ------------------------- Table of Contents 1.   A New Year, A New Energy 2.   Setting Intentions for 2026 with the Be/Do/Have framework 3.   Envisioning Your Best Year Using the Wheel of Life 4.   Vision Boards: Your Personal Roadmap 5.   Staying on Course with Love and Consistency 6.   Conclusion: A Blessing for a Radiant 2026 ------------------------- Conclusion This episode is your reminder that you don't need to force a new version of yourself into existence. You get to begin 2026 by listening inward -naming your heart's core desire - and choosing intentions that feel aligned with your values and your truth. With gentle check-ins, a creative vision board practice, and the permission to evolve along the way, you can move through the year with steadiness, grace, and joy. ------------------------- 1) A New Year, A New Energy January is offered as a blank canvas, an open, spacious invitation to begin again. Pascale guides you into a short, sacred pause with a calming breath, then encourages you to name what your heart truly wants more of this year: peace, freedom, trust, joy, confidence, or spaciousness. This core desire becomes your emotional anchor for the year ahead. Journal prompt: "My heart's core desire this year is…" 2) Setting Intentions for 2026 with Be / Do / Have Instead of relying on willpower-based resolutions, Pascale introduces intentions as a compassionate way to guide your year, something you return to again and again. You'll explore the Be/Do/Have framework: BE: Who do I choose to be this year? DO: What actions will I take to honour my desire? HAVE: What outcomes do I want to experience as a result? A real-life example is shared, using "peace" as the heart's core desire, demonstrating how your identity (Be) shapes your actions (Do), which in turn supports what you experience (Have). You're encouraged to keep it simple and revisit your alignment every three months with gentleness. 3) Envisioning Your Best Year Using the Wheel of Life If you feel uncertain about your desire or intentions, Pascale suggests using the Wheel of Life as a loving compass. It helps you see where you feel fulfilled and where you crave nourishment, growth, or support. You're invited to focus on one area first, so your energy becomes steady rather than scattered. 4) Vision Boards: Your Personal Roadmap With your core desire and intentions in place, you'll be guided to create a vision board, either with magazine clippings or digitally with Canva. This practice turns your intention into something tangible and beautiful. Your vision board can include: images that reflect how you want to feel and what you want to have words that inspire you quotes that elevate you affirmations that remind you what is possible Placed somewhere visible, it becomes a daily whisper of encouragement, supporting you to embody your vision consistently. 5) Staying on Course with Love and Consistency Pascale reminds you that dream lives are built in small moments of devotion, not grand bursts of perfection. You're encouraged to create gentle milestones and check-ins, such as: a monthly reflection date with your journal a Sunday reset ritual a quarterly review to celebrate and adjust You'll hear a powerful reminder: flexibility is not failure, it's wisdom. You are allowed to wobble, evolve, and begin again without making yourself wrong. Conclusion: A Blessing for a Radiant 2026 The episode closes with a heartfelt New Year blessing and a gentle invitation: take time this week to journal through the heart's desire + Be/Do/Have exercise, and create your vision board as a sacred act of self-leadership. The more you connect to your heart, the more joy you invite into your life. Happy New Year, beautiful listener! May 2026 be radiant. ………………………... FREE RESOURCES ………………………...

John Assaraf is a renowned entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, neuroscience expert, and founder of NeuroGym. With a career spanning over four decades, John has built multiple multi-million-dollar companies and dedicated his life to helping millions break through self-imposed limits. He is recognized for translating complex neuroscience into practical strategies for personal and professional growth, focusing on the power of identity, mindset, and the mechanics of the brain. John's mission is to empower others to engineer success from the inside out and unlock their full potential. Takeaways: Identity Drives Change: John emphasizes that true, lasting change begins with transforming your identity—how you see yourself—since you will never outperform your own self-image. The Brain is Wired for Safety, Not Success: Our brains are naturally designed to keep us safe and avoid pain, not to achieve success. Recognizing and consciously working with this wiring is critical to overcoming self-sabotage and achieving new levels. Upgrade Your Inner Software: Just like technology, your beliefs, habits, and identity are ‘software' that can be intentionally upgraded through practice, self-awareness, and emotional regulation—leading to greater achievement in all areas of life. Sound Bytes: “We will never, ever, ever outperform our hidden self-image of ourselves.” “Our brain is wired to keep us safe, not successful.” “You can practice a new identity the same way a basketball player practices free throws—until it becomes automatic.” Connect & Discover John: Website: johnassaraf.com Facebook: @johnassarafpage Instagram: @johnassaraf X: @johnassaraf LinkedIn: @johnassaraf YouTube: @JohnAssaraf Website: myneurogym.com

The Hidden Power Inside You Is Far Greater Than the Fear In Front of You In this mashup episode, I am bringing you two of the greatest minds on the planet when it comes to transforming your inner world and tapping into the genius that already lives inside you. If you have ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, afraid, or unsure of your next move, this conversation is going to shift something deep within you. John Assaraf and Dr. Caroline Leaf break down the science, the psychology, and the spiritual truth behind why fear takes over our lives and how to reclaim the control that is already yours. This episode is not just information. It is a roadmap to unlocking the next version of you. John Assaraf gives you the exact strategies the most successful performers in the world use to break free from fear and activate the Einstein part of the brain instead of living controlled by the Frankenstein part. He explains why your nervous system reacts the way it does, how to stop the fear response in real time, and how to create inner patterns that align with success instead of sabotage. His step by step inner sizes will help you calm the circuits, shift your focus, and turn fear into fuel so you can take immediate action toward your goals. Then Dr. Caroline Leaf takes you even deeper into the mechanics of the mind. She reveals how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are actually signals from the nonconscious mind trying to guide you toward healing and growth. She walks you through her powerful five step Neurocycle process that helps you rewire old patterns, break free from anxiety, and build new mental habits that create clarity, peace, and confidence. Whether you are dealing with stress, trauma, overwhelm, or a lack of direction, her framework gives you the tools to rebuild your mind from the inside out. This episode is more than just teaching. It is an activation. You will hear how to slow your thoughts, regulate your emotions, and shift your identity into the person you are meant to become. If you apply what you learn today, you will not only conquer fear, you will unlock a level of genius, intuition, and personal power that has been sitting inside you waiting to be released. You were built for greatness. You were designed for expansion. And this episode shows you exactly how to step into it. If you are ready to take back control of your mind, strengthen your identity, and create the life you know you are capable of, this conversation is your turning point. Lean in. Take notes. Apply what you learn. Your genius is waiting. Key Takeaways How to deactivate the fear response and regain control of your emotional state Why your brain defaults to survival patterns and how to train it for success The two brain circuits controlling your reactions and how to switch between them Dr. Leaf's five step Neurocycle and how it rewires unproductive thought patterns Why awareness creates freedom and how to use it to build new habits How visualization and repetition reshape the subconscious mind Why your beliefs and identity determine your outcomes Tools to reduce anxiety, create mental clarity, and activate peak performance ⁠

On this Thanksgiving week 2025 and episode 304 of Take Flight Weekly, I revisit one of the most powerful performance basics in my playbook: gratitude. Not the soft version. The real thing. The kind that rewires your brain and anchors you when life is chaotic. I'll walk you through my personal affirmation that starts with "I am so happy and grateful," unpack why I built it the way I did, and connect it to what the science of gratitude is proving right now. Then we'll get tactical with a simple, elite-level gratitude strategy you can execute in five minutes a day. In Q4 2010, I was under real financial pressure. The business was hard, the numbers were tight, and I realized I had zero chance of winning if I didn't get control of what was happening between my ears. My goal was simple: Keep my emotional frequency at 51 percent or higher. Slightly more optimistic than pessimistic. Around that time, I was studying Bob Proctor and John Assaraf. They made one point that landed hard: Success starts in your mind long before it shows up in your bank account. So I wrote my own affirmation, and I've now said it tens of thousands of times. Meta-analyses of gratitude interventions show consistent gains in life satisfaction and mental health. Neuroscience work shows that gratitude practices light up reward and regulation centers in the brain. It's not just a "nice idea" anymore. It's a proven performance tool. The Anatomy of My Affirmation → "I AM" – The two most powerful words. Your subconscious accepts whatever follows. → "So happy and grateful" – Happiness and gratitude are inputs, not trophies. They're a frequency you decide to live in. → "That money, success, and introductions" – Gratitude keeps you focused on opportunities you already have. → "Flow to me" – The kind of flow that shows up when your mindset, actions, and relationships are aligned. → "In ever increasing quantities from a myriad of different sources" – Gratitude is a flywheel that compounds over time. → "For the betterment of all those involved" – I never wanted success that only worked for me. → "My life is perfect" – I choose to see my current reality as raw material, not punishment. → "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better" – Pure 1% better math. What the Science Says → Gratitude improves mental health – Reduces anxiety and depression → Gratitude changes the brain – Activates reward and regulation regions → Gratitude improves physical health and sleep → Gratitude strengthens relationships → Structured gratitude tools work in as little as 6-10 sessions Three Gratitude Habits for Advisors → The 60-Second Morning Affirmation Before you touch your phone, stand up, breathe deeply, and say your affirmation. Say it like you mean it. → The Weekly Gratitude Text or Voice Memo Once a week, send one client, mentor, or team member a note saying specifically why you appreciate them. No pitch. Pure appreciation. → Gratitude Reset in Real Time When anxiety spikes, stop for thirty seconds. Name three things you're grateful for in that exact moment. Use gratitude as a pattern interrupt. I coach to happy and grateful results, not production. Production is a lagging indicator. Execution of being grateful is a leading indicator. When you're grounded, happy, and genuinely grateful, your business expands with less friction. That's not woo-woo. That's strategy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

How can neuroscience and self-talk help you break old habits and form empowering ones? In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and mindset expert John Assaraf to explore the neuroscience of transformation—how self-talk, visualization, and consistency literally rewire your brain. John shares how he healed from ulcerative colitis, built multimillion-dollar businesses, and created lasting habits using powerful, evidence-based mindset tools. We also talk about what it really takes to change your health, your habits, and your life—starting with how you speak to yourself every single day. Meet John Assaraf—a neuroscience geek turned mindset master who teaches people how to use their brains to achieve anything. From The Secret to the Innercise app, John has spent decades helping others rewire old patterns, build unstoppable habits, and create success that sticks. What you'll learn: (00:00) How John healed his body through affirmations and belief in self-healing. (07:33) Why visualization and self-talk reprogram your brain's focus from disease to health. (11:19) What new research reveals about negative thinking and daily thought patterns. (13:25) How to use spaced repetition to build lasting habits. (17:15) Why being committed to change matters more than being interested. (21:26) How dopamine and small daily wins reinforce motivation. (22:22) The “reduce it to the ridiculous” strategy for sustainable habit change. (46:05) How John's Innercise app and platforms help retrain your brain. Love the podcast?

In this episode Andrea Samadi revisits a popular interview with Dr. Dawson Church about his book Bliss Brain and the neuroscience of meditation. They explore how simple, evidence-based practices can quiet the brain's default mode, trigger blissful neurochemicals, and reshape stress and happiness networks. Listeners learn why happiness must be trained, how meditation helps people live more in the present, and practical tips to start a daily meditation practice using guided tools like the free Bliss Brain meditations. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's Episode 369, we are moving forward on our journey of the mind, to our next interview review, with our goal of building off of our past reviews, and sharpening our saw for improved well-being, productivity and success in 2025 and beyond. To review our last 3 episodes, with our interview with speaker Bob Proctor, we learned that “If we want to improve our RESULTS, we must focus on the six faculties of our mind—reason, intuition, perception, will, memory, and imagination.” “Devoting a year to developing each one would be time well invested, elevating us to greater heights and setting us apart from others.” Next, we looked at how we need to become extremely clear with our vision of “what we really want” and keep in mind that…. Our External Environment Reflects Our Internal World What exactly does this mean? It means that if we don't like what's happening in our external world—whether it's in our job, relationships, results, or any area of our life—we must first look inward. Our circumstances mirror the beliefs and thoughts we hold within. As James Allen reminds us in As a Man Thinketh: our outer world is always a reflection of our inner state. For today's Episode 369, we'll turn inward—sharpening our inner world so that we can transform the outer one. Today we go back EP 98[i] our interview with Dr. Dawson Church, that was recorded back in December of 2020, where we looked at the science behind implementing meditation into your daily routine. This interview is currently our most watched YouTube interview with over 11K views. This week, in our review of EP 98 with Dr. Dawson Church and his book Bliss Brain, we will explore how meditation can rewire the brain for happiness and presence. We will learn: ✔ Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, we must train our brain to achieve it. ✔ Our brains default to the past or future, constantly scanning for threats, instead of resting in the present moment. ✔ Extreme states of happiness are possible for all of us when we implement meditation consistently. ✔ How to commit to a daily meditation practice using the free meditations that come with Bliss Brain, or explore other guided programs until you find one that resonates with you Just a reminder-Dr. Church is the author of the book called Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity and Joy.[ii] He's an award-winning science writer who blends cutting-edge neuroscience with the stories of people who've had firsthand experience of brain change. Neural plasticity—the discovery that the brain is capable of rewiring itself—is now widely understood. But what few people have grasped yet is how quickly this is happening, how extensive brain changes can be, and how much control each of us exerts over the process of our thinking. It's been almost 5 years since this interview, and it feels like yesterday to me. I remember at the time, one of my dogs was barking in the yard when the landscapers came, and I was worried it would distract our interview. It didn't. I don't even think Dr. Church could hear them. There were also two other things that stuck out in my head from this interview (other than the fact I was wearing glasses trying to prepare for Lasik surgery and couldn't really see the questions) but I'll also never forget that American entrepreneur and biohacker Dave Asprey, who's well known for his interest in helping others achieve these elevated brain states, wrote the Foreword to his book. I also won't ever forget Chapter 1, of Bliss Brain, where Dr. Church shares how he and his wife lost their home and pets in the 2017 Santa Rose Fire, yet they chose to focus on gratitude and rebuilding their lives with joy. This story highlights his teaching that even trained minds struggle under pressure, but with meditation and practice, we can shift into a bliss or flow state. Church's EcoMeditation method, (that he covers in his book) supported by science and praised by Dave Asprey in the Foreword, helps quiet the brain's Default Mode Network[iii] and quickly releases calming, pleasurable chemicals—in as little as four minutes. Dr. Church has a strong following, and there are many powerful testimonials at the start of his book. One we spoke about in our interview was from Toni Tombleson who wrote: After a week of putting out a handful of mini-fires that often accompany the start of a new school year in my world, I can see why these lessons to handling both major life crises and everyday challenges, by learning to cultivate a “Bliss Brain” should remain a top priority for resilience, productivity, and well-being, for all of us. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch Which brings me to Video Clip 1 of our review. Watch video clip 1 with the link in the show notes. Historical Context: Dr. Church begins by reflecting on The Buddha, who over 2,000 years ago sought to relieve human suffering. He also reviews other spiritual teachers, including Plato, who grappled with the same question. Biological Explanation: Dr. Church emphasizes that suffering is a biological problem, a feature of how the human brain evolved. How our lives have become easier than they were 2,000 years ago. He explained to me how people are 3x as wealthy now, than they were 40 years ago. In terms of longevity, our lifespans have doubled in the last century. There are many markers like this that show us that we live in a much more secure and safe world than we used to. Key Point: While we live in a safer environment today, than 2,000 years ago, our brains were not designed for where we are today. We are not suffering he reminded me because we are bad people, we lack will, or haven't read enough personal growth books… “We simply didn't evolve to be happy because there was no survival benefit in being happy.”  Tip #1: Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, it's something we must train our brain to achieve. Practical Application: This is the basis of his book Bliss Brain, where he explains how meditation helps us train the brain to reach a bliss or flow state. It's in his book that we learn how to achieve this state that will change not only our brain, (our internal state) but our outer results in our everyday lives. In Chapter 2, he shows us why most people find it so hard to meditate. The difficulty has nothing to do with willpower or intention. It's simply due to the design of the human brain. When you understand this clearly, you'll be equipped to work around it. Chapter 3 describes the ecstatic states that you can achieve in meditation. He examines the regions of the brain that you activate, and what each one does. He also lists the extensive health and cognitive benefits that you get from activating each of those regions. In Chapter 4 you'll hear the story of his own personal failed meditation experiences. He learned many different styles of meditation, but could never establish a consistent practice. His breakthrough came from science. When he combined seven simple evidence-based practices together, found a formula that puts people into deep states automatically and involuntarily. No effort required. When he and his colleagues hook people up to EEGs and MRIs, they find that using these seven steps, even non-meditators get into profound states in less than 4 minutes. Sometimes in less than 50 seconds. Historically, the secrets of these states have been available to only about 1% of the population. Thanks to science, they're now available to everyone. Chapter 5 he goes into the seven neurochemicals of ecstasy. We learn how each one is like a drug that makes you feel good. But combine all seven together, and you have a potent formula that takes your brain into bliss. Meditation is the only way you get all seven at one time. The star of the show is a neurotransmitter called anandamide, aka “the bliss molecule.” When you trigger these ecstatic states daily, they change your brain. Chapter 6 is about the extensive brain remodeling that occurs in seasoned meditators. Stress circuits shrink, while happiness networks grow. But you don't need to be an adept to trigger this rewiring. It begins the very first week you meditate effectively. Chapter 7 is about post-traumatic growth, and how the brains of meditators make them resilient to the inevitable upsets of life. Medical crises and financial disasters included. It provides practical examples of how meditation can make you resilient even during global upheavals like the coronavirus panic that was happening at the time of this interview. Whatever challenges confront us, we will be well equipped to handle large and small life challenges. If we truly want to find happiness, then we will need to rewire our brain to accomplish these states. VIDEO 2 Click Here to Watch Watch video clip 2 with the link in the show notes. Question asked: “How can we learn to be more in the present moment, instead of somewhere else?” Dr. Church's explanation: The brain is hardwired to identify threats for survival. Today, most of us don't face immediate threats, but the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN) keeps scanning for danger. Without real threats, it replays past negative experiences (even from years ago or childhood) and projects fear into the future (“what if it happens again?”). This keeps us stuck in the past and future, not the present moment. Monks & meditation: Monks, after years of deep meditation, trained their brains differently. Brain scans showed structural changes—the brain literally began to shrink in areas related to stress and overthinking. Key Point: Our brains are not naturally wired to live in the present moment—they default to the past or future, scanning for threats. Tip #2: Get serious about meditation. Example: Australian astrophysicist & TV journalist Graham Phillips remodeled his brain in just 8 weeks of meditation practice. VIDEO 3 Click Here to Watch Watch video clip 3 with the link in the show notes. In this clip, Dr. Church explains how “meditation changes everything” and why “20 years ago, he decided to make this commitment to daily meditation” sharing how his whole world changed after this. These are noticeable changes that were behind his motivation to write this book, Bliss Brain, to show the world how they too can reach these states of extreme happiness. He told us to go back and study historical figures who were clearly in altered states of being, like the Italian Catholic Preacher, Saint Francis of Assisi, who appears in a blissed-out state as we see in a drawing, where it looks like he is communicating with God or something divine. This beautiful blissful state, that goes beyond happiness, is available to all of us. We will cover more about the changes our brains undergo with meditation as we go back to review our interview #28 with clinical professor of psychiatry from the UCLA school of medicine, Dr. Dan Siegel[iv], on a later episode, but for now, we can conclude that we can in fact change our outside world, in a significant and powerful way, by dedicating ourselves to a daily meditation practice. Key Point: We can ALL reach this state of extreme happiness by implementing a daily meditation practice. Tip 3: We can get started with our own meditation practice (if we are not currently implementing one) by using the FREE mediations that come along with the Bliss Brain Book Or use whatever meditation program resonates with you. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION Episode 369 Wrap-Up: Bliss Brain Review with Dr. Dawson Church This week, in our review of EP 98 with Dr. Dawson Church and his book Bliss Brain, we explored how meditation can rewire the brain for happiness and presence. Key Point from Clip 1: Although we live in a safer world than 2,000 years ago, our brains weren't designed for today's environment. “We simply didn't evolve to be happy because there was no survival benefit in being happy.” Tip #1: Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, we must train our brain to achieve it. Key Point from Clip 2: Our brains default to the past or future, constantly scanning for threats, instead of resting in the present moment. Tip #2: Commit to meditation—like astrophysicist and TV journalist Graham Phillips, who saw powerful changes after just 8 weeks of his daily practice that helped him to focus in the present moment. Key Point from Clip 3: Extreme states of happiness are possible for all of us when we implement meditation consistently. Tip #3: Start small. Use the free meditations that come with Bliss Brain, or explore other guided programs until you find one that resonates with you I highly recommend watching the full interview with Dr. Church[v]—especially if you've struggled to stay consistent with your own practice. Even Dr. Church himself shares moments where he lost momentum, which is a reminder that this is a journey for all of us. Personally, I've cycled through different meditation programs—starting with John Assaraf's work, then moving on to Dr. Dan Siegel's Wheel of Awareness, using Dr. Church's Bliss Brain meditations, and now practicing Dr. Joe Dispenza's chakra-focused work. The program you choose matters less than your ability to make it a consistent daily practice—that's when the real brain changes occur. We'll see you next week as we continue exploring the Journey of the Mind, working on connecting practical science to improve our inner and outer world.

Does your brain help or hinder your efforts to save your marriage? If you are like most people, your brain is actually a barrier in your efforts.  It keeps you stuck in old, unhelpful patterns.  And some of those pre-date even your marriage. Unfortunately, most people just don't have an "owner's manual" for their brain... and how it is running.  Which is too bad.  We could all use some upgrades and some rewiring.  Which is the good news.  Our brain IS capable of rewiring.  We ARE capable of growing, changing, and evolving. Which is why I wanted to have John Assaraf on my podcast.  John is a student of neuroscience, which he brings into his work as a coach and trainer.  He is also the author of a number of books.  And he is a darn good communicator about his ideas. These ideas are what I want you to take away.  They help you to find better ways of being, of thinking, and of relating.  Listen below to my interview with John.   RELATED RESOURCES John's Website (with free ebook for you) Innercise (check out the app) STM Podcast:  4 Fears That Halt Your Efforts Save The Marriage System

Good intentions pave a road to nowhere good… right?  But why is it that even our best of intentions, our best plans, do not get us the results we want?  Why is it that we stall out (assuming we even get a good start)? It turns out that success (and thriving) takes far more than just the desire to get there.  It takes far more than simply starting. And yet, we humans seem to just get our own selves into trouble.  We trip ourselves up! Fortunately, there are ways we can get out of our own way… and neuroscience can help us. Which is why I am bringing you an interview with John Assaraf.  You may be familiar with him from his various media appearances, or from his books, or even from a few documentary movies he's been in.  And if you haven't seen him yet, you will love hearing from him.   RELATED RESOURCES John's Website (with free ebook for you) Innercise (check out the app)

Rewiring Your Brain for Success with John Assaraf In this breakthrough episode of The Jack Canfield Podcast, I sit down with my long-time friend and world-renowned brain science expert, John Assaraf. You may recognize John from his appearances on Larry King Live, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, or his iconic role in The Secret. But behind the accolades—five multi-million dollar companies, two NYT bestsellers, 16 films—is a deeply personal story of transformation. From a troubled teen on the brink of destruction to a neuroscience-backed success coach, John shares the powerful moment that shifted his entire life trajectory—and how that shift sparked decades of research into human potential. Together, we explore the Innercise™ method, a science-based mental training system designed to rewire your brain, break through subconscious limitations, and help you unlock your full potential. Key Insights from the Episode:

What if your biggest fear is the one thing standing between you and the life you were meant to live? Fear is a liar. It whispers that you're not good enough, that you should wait, that failure is too risky. But what if I told you that fear is actually the roadmap to your next breakthrough? In this episode, I sit down with some of the most incredible minds—Tony Robbins, Rich Diviney, Jen Gottlieb, Colin O'Brady, Robin Sharma, John Assaraf, and James Lawrence—to break down how fear is shaping your decisions, holding you back, and how you can use it as fuel to push forward. Tony Robbins reveals how the media and external noise create unnecessary fear, and how the difference between fear and faith is simply the story we tell ourselves. Rich Diviney talks about resilience—not just bouncing back but coming back stronger—and shares the mindset shift that separates top performers from everyone else. Jen Gottlieb teaches how to put fear in the passenger seat and take control of your life, proving that when you face fear head-on, its power over you disappears. Colin O'Brady takes us through his incredible transformation from being told he'd never walk again to breaking world records by choosing courage over comfort. You'll also hear Robin Sharma explain why fear is the gateway to greatness, how we must “hug the monster” and realize that most of what we're afraid of is an illusion. John Assaraf lays out a step-by-step process to retrain your brain and turn fear into a tool for success. And James Lawrence, the Iron Cowboy, proves that the mind is more powerful than the body, walking us through his moments of absolute physical breakdown—and how he pushed through anyway. In this episode, you will learn: - How fear creates invisible barriers that are limiting your success - The difference between fear and intuition (and how to tell them apart) - Techniques to retrain your brain and use fear as fuel instead of a roadblock - Why resilience is more than just “bouncing back”—it's about becoming stronger - The power of pushing past your limits and discovering what you're truly capable of The truth is, you're not afraid of failure—you're afraid of what happens if you actually succeed. But let me remind you of something: you were born to do something great with your life. Don't let fear rob you of that. The world doesn't need a smaller version of you—it needs the real you, stepping up, playing full out, and living at the highest level. It's time to face your fears and conquer them once and for all.

Chapters 0:42 Welcome back 6:30 Understanding Anxiety 11:15 Inner Sizing Techniques 15:59 The Power of Commitment 21:23 Overcoming Negative Patterns 26:31 Resources and Support 29:25 Conclusion and Farewell Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I continue my enlightening discussion with John Ashraf, a renowned mindset coach and mental fitness trainer. This episode marks the conclusion of our three-part series, in which we explore the multifaceted nature of anxiety and the psychological patterns that underpin it. We delve into the significant distinction between emotions and feelings, emphasizing that our reactions to various stimuli aren't inherently linked to the stimuli itself but rather to our perceptions shaped by previous experiences and beliefs. Throughout our conversation, we unpack the workings of the brain, particularly focusing on the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system, which governs our stress responses and instinctive reactions, often drives us into cycles of anxiety and negative thought patterns. John introduces the concept of "Frankie's monster," a metaphorical representation of our subconscious fears that can overwhelm us if left unchecked. He emphasizes the importance of awareness and the need to interrupt these automatic patterns that diminish our sense of well-being. We discuss practical strategies for managing and transforming anxiety. John shares "inner sizes," such as the breathing technique known as "Take Six," which helps calm our nervous systems and ease feelings of stress. By focusing on our breathing and engaging in positive self-talk, we can shift from a state of anxiety to one of calm and control. This technique exemplifies how we can reinforce new, healthier neural pathways by consciously choosing to challenge our automatic negative thoughts (ANTS) and replace them with automatic positive thoughts (APTS). #AnxietyCoach #MindsetShift #Neuroplasticity #ChangeYourBeliefs #EmpowerYourMind #MentalWellness #SelfTalkMatters #PersonalGrowthJourney #OvercomeAnxiety #MindfulLiving #NeuroscienceOfMind #BreakFreeFromLimits #TransformYourLife #StressManagement #EmotionalRegulation #CognitiveRestructuring Learn more about your ad choices.

Chapters 0:43 Welcome back 2:20 Neuroplasticity Insights 5:06 Empowering Belief Systems 9:54 Commitment to Change 14:40 Personal Story of Transformation 19:02 Micro Steps to Progress 21:16 Looking Ahead to Part Three Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I dive into an enlightening continuation of my conversation with John Assaraf, a renowned expert in the field of neuroscience and personal development. Building on insights from our previous discussion, we explore how deeply ingrained belief systems shape our realities and influence our emotions, self-talk, and overall well-being. We begin by dissecting the concept of belief systems, acknowledging that while many of our beliefs may not be accurate, they profoundly affect how we perceive and interact with the world. I pose a pivotal question: Can we replace disempowering beliefs with more empowering alternatives? The answer, as John eloquently articulates, lies in neuroplasticity—the extraordinary capacity of our brains to reorganize and form new neural connections throughout our lives. This means we have the ability to change our thought patterns and emotional responses by consciously practising new beliefs which serve our goals and aspirations. As we discuss methods to facilitate this transformative process, I introduce listeners to the concept of "inner sizing." This simple exercise involves identifying a disempowering belief and reframing it through empowered language. By consistently repeating this new belief—recording it, listening to it, and engaging in aligned behavior—we begin to rewire our brains, automating more positive thought patterns. We highlight the importance of consistency in these practices, explaining that the brain responds to repetition, much like strengthening a muscle through exercise. #AnxietyCoach #MindsetShift #Neuroplasticity #ChangeYourBeliefs #EmpowerYourMind #MentalWellness #SelfTalkMatters #PersonalGrowthJourney #OvercomeAnxiety #MindfulLiving #NeuroscienceOfMind #BreakFreeFromLimits #TransformYourLife Keywords: anxiety reduction cognitive restructuring emotional regulation stress management self-compassion positive psychology habit formation goal setting resilience well-being Learn more about your ad choices.

Chapters 0:43 Introduction to John Ashraf 2:22 John's Personal Journey 9:00 The Mentor That Changed Everything 10:56 Understanding Brain Function 12:14 The Role of Beliefs 14:06 Types of Beliefs Explained 19:48 Overcoming Our Belief Systems 20:42 Conclusion and Next Steps Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, host Gina Ryan welcomes world-renowned mindset and success expert John Ashraf. Ashraf, a highly respected figure in personal development, brings a wealth of knowledge with his background as a successful entrepreneur, author of 14 books (including two New York Times bestsellers), and appearances in prominent films such as "The Secret." Throughout the conversation, John emphasizes the importance of mental fitness and personal growth, discussing his experiences that shaped his journey and his innovative approaches to mindset coaching. John shares his tumultuous background, detailing the challenges he faced growing up, including familial instability due to an alcoholic father, personal insecurities, and involvement in illegal activities. These experiences led him to a pivotal moment in his life when his brother introduced him to Alan Brown, a successful real estate developer who became his mentor. This encounter was transformative, as Brown prompted John to reflect on his goals and dreams, challenging him to distinguish between being interested in achieving his aspirations and being truly committed to them. This distinction acted as a catalyst for John's personal development, and he committed to changing the trajectory of his life. The discussion moves toward the fundamental concept of belief systems, where John elaborates on how beliefs shape our reality and behaviors. He explains the two types of beliefs: declarative beliefs—those we can consciously acknowledge—and non-declarative beliefs, which reside in our subconscious and often dictate our self-worth and potential. He emphasizes that no one is born with beliefs; rather, they're formed through experiences, interactions, and environmental influences throughout life. John utilizes vivid metaphors to help listeners visualize this process, likening belief patterns to software that runs within our brains, often filled with misconceptions and secondhand narratives rather than objective truths. #anxiety #mindset #success #personalgrowth #selfimprovement #mentalfitness #neuroscience #motivation #selfdevelopment #overcomeanxiety #breakthrough #mindsetcoach #successmindset #personaltransformation #neuropsychology #selfbelief #mindfulness Learn more about your ad choices.
