Bonnie's passion is sharing her knowledge with financial advisors. When she founded Endeavor Retirement, her goal was to make retirement legislation easy to understand. She keeps advisors up to date on the rules and regulations through her webinars, presentations, and consultations. The result — advisors and consultants help more people access their retirement savings.In this episode, Eric and Bonnie Treichel discuss:Next practices when making meeting minutesHow much is enoughWhat SHOULD be includedWhat is unnecessaryAvoiding potential issues by following the plan document Documenting processes in target date funds ESG is an extension of the fiduciary process Key Takeaways:When making meeting minutes, strike the perfect balance between including enough information to demonstrate loyalty and prudence without being overly detailed. Avoid having conflicting sets of minutes. Document who was present, what their role is, and the topics covered. Include supporting documents and references in meeting minutes. Follow the plan document to avoid potential issues with compliance, forfeiture accounts need to be spent according to the plan document. One way where advisors can help out plan sponsors is with fiduciary calendars and checklists. Follow a prudent process with target date funds and document that process. As an advisor, you must help plan sponsors with benchmarking and RFPs. Commit to regularly reviewing the DOL's 2013 Target Date Fund Tips. ESG is not a separate process but an extension of the existing fiduciary process. Document the rationale for including ESG factors and ensure that they are in the best financial interest of participants. Advisors need to help plan sponsors understand their fiduciary liability insurance and their role as a fiduciary. “It's up to us over time to piece together these best practices. This is iterative, you have to meet people where they are. So you should do a more comprehensive fiduciary training once a year.” - Bonnie TreichelConnect with Bonnie Treichel:Website: https://endeavor-retirement.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonnietreichel/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation for any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice, or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstances of all qualified plans can vary and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan-specific circumstances.

How to get rid of insomnia? Once you don't get enough sleep, that's it. People seem terribly annoying, work stalls, and the future seems unattractive. Lots of stress, hypodynamia, hours spent at the wheel or computer — it all makes our back muscles stiff and prevents us from relaxing before sleep. That's why we toss and turn for hours before getting a shallow and troubled sleep.

Also, this yoga pose regulates the work of the intestine. Therefore, it's useful to do it in the morning. - The feet on the wall position rests the legs and back, opens the chest, and allows the lungs to be satiated with oxygen before going to bed. - Wave exercises allow you to relax your back even more — they "get" to the deep muscles of the spine, located under the surface layers. - If you do Shavasana properly before bed, it'll be really easy to fall asleep. You'll feel how the world is vanishing, and your whole body is as relaxed as possible. It's time to cover yourself with a blanket and go to sleep.

How to Manage a Dog Lunging on Leash By Stephanie Gibeault, MSc, CPDT Updated: Sep 22, 2021 | 5 Minutes How to Manage a Dog Lunging on Leash – American Kennel Club   Do you dread taking your dog for a walk because they lunge at other dogs, other people, or objects like cars or skateboards? Maybe they bark or growl too. Walking an out-of-control dog is both physically and emotionally exhausting. It's tempting to avoid walks altogether, but then your dog isn't getting the mental stimulation and physical exercise they need. So, what do you do? Read on for tips to manage and improve your dog's lunging behavior. Understand Why Dogs Lunge Dog experts often label dogs who lunge and bark during walks as “leash reactive.” A reactive dog is one who becomes overly aroused by normal situations, and a leash reactive dog is one who behaves that way on leash. But what causes this behavior? There are three possible motivations for lunging. The least likely is aggression. Although rare, some dogs truly want to do harm. Fear is a far more common motivator. Using the “I'll get it before it gets me” strategy, dogs lunge to try to make the feared person, dog, or other object go away. Finally, your dog might be excited to approach the person, dog, or object, but because the leash is preventing that, they become frustrated and lose emotional control. You need to take all these motivations seriously, but it's important to understand which one is driving your dog. For example, if your dog is frustrated, lessons in emotional self-control come in handy. If your dog is fearful, building self-confidence is key. However, regardless of the reason for the lunging, some of the basic management tools and treatments are the same. Manage Your Dog's Behavior It's important to prevent your dog from lunging because every time they do, they're practicing the behavior and developing a self-reinforcing habit. And the firmer the habit, the harder it will be to change. But how do you prevent lunging? First, never punish your dog for this behavior. You will only exacerbate the problem. Your dog will associate the punishment with the other person, dog, or object which will strengthen their fear or jack up their frustration. Second, use the correct equipment for walking. A buckle collar can put a lot of pressure on your dog's throat when they lunge. A front-clip harness is a better choice. It will put the pressure on your dog's chest and help turn them back toward you when they spring forward. A head halter (also called a head harness) is another option for a leash-reactive dog. It loops around your dog's nose and allows you to control their head like the reins of a horse. However, many dogs need help adjusting to a halter and they can damage their necks if they hit the end of the leash with too much force. To prevent that, you can clip one leash to their buckle collar and another to their halter, so the collar leash takes the force during lunges and the halter leash gently turns your dog's head. Finally, be proactive. Plan your walks for times when your dog is unlikely to encounter any triggers (the people, dogs, or objects that cause the lunging to occur). That might be late at night or with the sunrise. Also choose the quietest route. And always be on the lookout for triggers so you can keep your dog far enough away that they don't react. That might mean taking evasive action like crossing the street or making a 180-degree turn. If you can distract your dog before they notice the trigger, even better. Constantly monitor the environment and your dog's body language so you can predict lunging before it occurs and act accordingly. Change Your Dog's Emotional Response Management will prevent your dog from practicing lunging, but it won't improve their behavior or ease their emotional state. For that, try desensitization and counterconditioning. This technique will change your dog's emotional response from negative to positive (in the case of fear-based or aggressive reactivity) or from out-of-control excitement to calm (in the case of frustration). The trick is to get your dog in the presence of their trigger but far enough away they don't react. This is known as below-threshold intensity. That could be 10 feet, or it could be 40. And different triggers might have different distances. Once you have your dog below threshold, pair the trigger with high-value rewards they would do anything for, like strips of meat, cubes of cheese, or a chance to play with their favorite toy. You want your dog to build a positive association between the wonderful goodies and the trigger. Start the process with your dog on leash. Wait for them to notice a trigger then immediately present a reward. When they glance at the trigger again, offer another reward. Continue as long as the trigger is present. With enough repetition, your dog will eventually glance at the trigger then turn right back in your direction, as if to say, “I saw it, now where's my treat?” This tells you that your dog has realized the trigger makes the reward happen, so the positive association is being formed. Now you can move a tiny bit closer to the trigger and repeat the process. The goal is to slowly reduce the distance between your dog and the trigger until they are within a few feet or less, all while keeping your dog under threshold. Then duplicate the entire procedure again with a new dog or person. Continue to repeat with as many examples of the trigger as necessary to convince your dog that their trigger makes great things happen. As a result, when they see any trigger, they will look to you for a reward instead of lunging. Try your best to control the environment during this process. You don't want a dog or stranger sneaking up and putting your dog over threshold. Instead, enlist the assistance of friends so you can coordinate a training plan using them or their dogs as the trigger. You can also try positioning your dog at a set distance from a pathway or street so you can predict passersby but control how far your dog is from them. Teach Your Dog an Incompatible Alternative Behavior You can also teach your dog to perform a behavior that is incompatible with lunging. For example, they can't lunge towards another dog and turn to look at you at the same time. If you heavily reward this alternative behavior, your dog will eventually choose to do it in place of lunging even when their trigger is close by. Some great choices include “Watch me” (where your dog looks at your face), “Touch” (where your dog targets something with their nose), or “Find it” (where you drop treats at your feet for your dog to find). These are easy to teach and easy for your dog to do even when they are emotionally aroused. And more importantly, they redirect your dog's gaze from the trigger to you. Whichever behavior you choose, make sure your dog loves to do it. Start training in a quiet environment without distractions and pile on the treats. This will show your dog how easy it is to get rewarded for the new task. Next, build distractions into your training. Then add the trigger at a below-threshold distance. When your dog looks at the trigger, ask for the replacement behavior. Shower them with treats when they obey. Finally, ask for the new behavior while slowly moving closer and closer to the trigger. If your dog reverts to lunging, you've moved too far, too fast. Eventually, rather than lunging, your dog will see the trigger as a cue to do the new behavior and earn a reward. Know When to Get Help For some dogs, you might be able to work through these techniques on your own and achieve great success in a matter of weeks. For other dogs, it's advisable to get help from an animal behaviorist or a professional dog trainer with leash reactivity experience. Your dog might also benefit from a consult with a veterinary behaviorist. If your dog is too worked up to learn, medication can control their arousal levels during training allowing them to make more progress. Lunging on leash can usually be modified into more polite and acceptable behavior. At the very least, you can minimize your dog's outbursts with good management. It takes patience and dedication to your dog and the training protocols, but walks can eventually be stress-free for both you and your dog.

I've been talking about the “new economy” since about 2010. But more and more, I recognize that the economic possibilities created through the internet aren't nearly as new or innovative as I'd first thought (and hoped). It seems that the old economy is just making itself over as the not-so-new economy. In this episode, I explore 3 processes of the old economy—speculation, financialization, and liquidation—to pinpoint how they're showing up in our digital world of independent work.I weave together the housing market, creator economy, Great Recession, and crypto promises to help you situate yourself in this strange, not-so-new world. At times, it's a bleak story—but ultimately, understanding where we're at gives us a better opportunity to make different, more humane choices.Resources: CNBC Interview with NewNew Founder Courtne Smith Investopedia on financialization The Big Short by Michael Lewis Michael Lewis on 60 Minutes “How the financial crisis changed jobs” from Marketplace Gig Economy explainer via Marketplace NFTs explainer via Marketplace “How Money Became The Measure Of Everything” by Eli Cook “The complicated reality of doing what you love” by Marian Bull Greater Fool Theory on Investopedia “I crowdfunded a novel using cryptocurrency” by Elle Griffin This episode is also available in essay form.★ Support this podcast ★

And David lets us in on a secret about his upcoming book.   Episode Highlights: How is David feeling with this being the last episode? (00:44) David mentions that he will write another book. (1:08) David shares that he’s had several people reach out to him from just hearing the podcast great (1:28) What has writing this book meant to David? (2:15) David thinks that he underestimated the reach that we have on people and our ability to influence people in changing the way they run their business, or they approach sales. (2:23) In David’s opinion, if the book has made enough impact on people, they'll take the time to go do that. (3:39) Josh shares the reason why he’s doing this podcast. (4:29) David mentions that he’s generous with his time, he likes helping people, and he likes knowing that the advice that he gave helps them win. (5:10) David tells Josh that he has never felt more vulnerable than writing a book and just putting it out to the public. (5:41) Josh mentions that this is making him contemplate writing a book. (6:18) David shares that writing a book is a good exercise and therapeutic. (6:25) David mentions that he’s one of those people where he can't just put something on the schedule that requires some level of creativity and thought into it. (7:20) If David could go back to when he was writing it, what would he have done differently, and what would he keep the same for writing the book? (8:01) Does David have any advice for the loyal readers who would be contemplating writing a book? (9:43) Josh mentions the next section of the book, which is closing the deal and it starts with Chapter 12, The Meeting. (10:03) Could David give us an example of how or what he would say to the prospect in discussing the journey, how he prospects, why he’s a good fit, and why they're a good fit? (11:47) David shares that it’s essential to know the prospects that you're going to be able to make the biggest impact on, and have the best opportunity to drive, and change in their organizations. (12:26) David shares one of the best success stories he ever had. (13:42) Does David ever get to the point and realize that the prospect is not a good fit for him and the agency, and how does he pivot the conversation to not move forward? (17:10) David shares that he doesn’t want to ask people about the insurance-related question because they're automatically associating that with having to physically purchase something, or prematurely make the decision to do business with him. (20:25) David explains the significance of the three questioning processes. (24:37) David thinks that people tend to make the mistake of talking badly about their competition. (27:03) David mentions his biggest concern. (29:44) What if David’s agency isn't appointed with the company, does it matter? (36:20) Josh shares that if you want to download a sample of the termination letter and bullet points, just open up the book, go to the last part of each section, and you will see a website. (38:17) Josh mentions the final section and chapter of the book which is Chapter 13, Onboarding. (38:32) Josh believes that the client’s experience is something that we all need to strive for, regardless of the type of industry or client we are dealing with. (39:02) Josh shares that this chapter consists of essentially six things that Florida risk partners do to provide a truly exceptional client experience. (39:32) David mentions his challenge for everyone. (44:57)       Key Quotes: “If you do your research and you find the hot buttons, and you know what's going to motivate somebody, then you go into that meeting, and it's more about you learning about them than it is them hearing you. Just spew out everything you possibly can in the limited amount of time about your business, you're going to gain their respect and their trust much quicker.” - David Carothers “My ultimate goal is to demonstrate that I know about them by asking questions that require them to give me answers to help me know them, on an even deeper level.” - David Carothers “Even though we're salespeople, we want to be called trusted advisors. And there's an art and a science to doing that. I talk about it all the time, it's not just art, it's not just a skill, it's both.” - David Carothers “When you think a good job is done, sit there and think, what's the one thing I can do to take this to the next level in two minutes or less? Then do it because that's what your competition isn't doing.” - David Carothers   Resources Mentioned: Florida Risk Partners David Carothers LinkedIn Joshua Lipstone LinkedIn Lipstone Insurance Group Book: The Extra 2 Minutes: How spending an extra 2 minutes on nearly anything in your sales career will take you from good to “best in class”!   Advertisers: Podium Agency Performance Partners

In today's episode of the Explain This Book To Me podcast, host Joshua Lipstone, continues his discussion with David R. Carothers, CIC, CRM, the author of the book, The Extra 2 Minutes  They discuss the steps you need to take to book the appointment, how to confirm the appointment, and how you need to prepare for the appointment. You even hear a dad joke or two, but you’ll have to listen to hear.   Episode Highlights: David shares that the best way to get a hold of him is to visit the Killing Commercial website and if you’re looking for a one-stop-shop to learn as much about him as possible, their website is probably the best place to go. (1:33) Josh mentions the next section of the book, which is setting appointments and it starts with Chapter 9, Booking The Appointment. (2:09) Josh shares that bullet point scripts allow you to hold your team accountable, you're able to listen to their calls, and you can see if they're following the script, and if they don’t, you can indicate how they can improve and be able to hit their numbers. (3:50) What are some bullet points that they can use when they call on a prospect to discuss workers’ compensation? (4:08) David mentions that subconsciously, the human brain feels in control if they say the word no. (6:19) David shares that their new model allows the person on the other end to feel in control of the conversation. (6:26) David explains the script called, the two no’s to the yes. (8:20) Josh says that it sounds like people need to go to college and study psychology if they want to be a good salesperson. (9:41) Josh mentions one of the points that David said multiple times and it is, when you engage with the prospect in the first meeting, you tell them that you’re there to sell a product, and you’re there to help them solve a problem. (11:02) Josh shares a classic rejection response, how would David respond to that type of rejection? (12:13) Josh mentions that in the book David talked about the objection where they say, “we shop every year, and we always have the best price.” Is this the type of prospect that the loyal readers should go after? (13:53) David explains the two different ways of considering the objection. (14:43) David thinks that most of the time, agents or any salesperson that’s out there don't take the time to quantify what they are working for or the hourly rate they are willing to work for. (15:38) David talks about the conversation that he had with a guy that he’s mentoring at work. (15:52) Josh mentions the extra two minutes of Chapter 9, in which David recommends creating, and then studying a flowchart that outlines each call. (19:11) Does David have a specific program for the flowchart or is he creating one with machine learning? (19:25) David shares that the concept of the flowchart gives you an idea of what the pivots are. (20:04) Josh mentions Chapter 10, which is Confirming Appointments. (20:31) Josh shares that this chapter made him wonder how much emphasis is necessary on confirming appointments. (20:41) Does David request copies of policies, last runs, etc., after they confirm the appointment as part of the calendar invite or as a separate email? (25:34) How does the timing work for David when it comes to requesting other information? (25:49) David mentions that he prefers to go through his fact-finding process. (27:40) When David uses video to send to them before the meeting to confirm, how is it done? (30:12) Josh mentions the final chapter of the section which is Chapter 11, Preparing For The Appointment. (31:26) Josh says that he enjoyed reading the last chapter because there’s remarkable goodness in it that the loyal readers can implement immediately in their agency or business. (31:36) When David begins this process of going deep into the prospect’s social media, does he befriend them? (32:18) David mentions that he’s not worried about connecting, and he thinks that following is rather less intrusive, than what connecting is. (33:11) David mentions that for all practical purposes, his mission is to get information, not necessarily to connect. (33:33) David mentions that he’s a firm believer in the saying, people are going to do business with people that they like. (38:10) Josh mentions the extra two minutes for Chapter 11, in which David wrote about how he purposely arrived early to make not only an excellent impression but also, make time to talk with the gatekeeper. (40:54)  Key Quotes: “I want you to understand that you do have a reputation in the insurance marketplace. If you're going to market every single year, and you're moving your account around based on what that price is, that's not good. You're not building longevity in a relationship with a carrier that's going to be there for you in the event that you have a claim, or you might need that.” - David Carothers “One thing I know is this, every prospect that you're going to talk to regardless of who they are, regardless of what your industry is going to research about you as the salesperson prior to meeting with them, why not make it as easy as possible for them to do that research?” - David Carothers “I know that a lot of people out there in the insurance world want to have copies of current policies, apples to apples or whatever else they're going to say, those people were operating in a price-driven commodity environment. They're not doing what they need to do.” - David Carothers   Resources Mentioned: Florida Risk Partners David Carothers LinkedIn Joshua Lipstone LinkedIn Lipstone Insurance Group Book: The Extra 2 Minutes: How spending an extra 2 minutes on nearly anything in your sales career will take you from good to “best in class”!   Advertisers: Agency VA Agency Performance Partners

I've got a pretty good work-life balance.” - David Carothers “To a certain degree, a shift in how technology has changed things is that we follow people now, not books...social media and platforms like LinkedIn have made it so much easier for us to digest high points and snippets from things.” - David Carothers “I like to be challenged.

(25:22) David says that when he’s looking at the thing about who belongs at the table, he’s looking at the moral compass and the value of that organization.

If I know I'm not going to be successful, I'm going to cut bait and not spend time with that particular carrier when I know I have to go somewhere else. But if it's something that I know in my heart needs to be there because that's the right market and it really would fit if they listen to the full story, we’re going to get it done every time”- David Carothers “Work ethic and willingness to learn. With those two things, if you've got that in your back pocket, you can be successful. If you're not successful and you have those two things it’s because you allowed the industry to taint you and you didn't allow yourself to see it through.”- David Carothers “If you focus on identifying your ideal prospect and who that's going to be, it takes time to do that. It takes time to identify them and figure out where you want to go, it takes time to write your business, it takes time for you to do the research. But as you're doing all of these things, you're really making yourself stronger.”- David Carothers Resources Mentioned:   Florida Risk Partners Reach out to David Carothers Joshua Lipstone LinkedIn Lipstone Insurance Group Book: The Extra 2 Minutes: How spending an extra 2 minutes on nearly anything in your sales career will take you from good to “best in class”!   Advertisers: Veruna Agency Va Lightspeed Voice

(1:19:53) Key Quotes: “You don't write a book to get rich, you don't write blog posts to get rich, you don't create videos to get rich, you do those things to get credibility. The validation that you get for the countless hours that you spend doing those things is seeing other people use what you teach them, and that's the ultimate validation...

But then we overlook how one bad client could destroy that entire culture.” - David Carothers “I always look for an opportunity. I always feel like I'm a very early adopter at seizing opportunity but, if it gets to the point where I'm spending more time than what it's worth for me to try and force something to work, my ego does not keep me pushing down that path...

That’s why you need to focus on balancing your hormones instead of on cutting calories. Toxins are all around us, and if your body can't get rid of them right away, it stores excess toxins in your fat. JJ shares her top recommendations for supporting your body's detoxification pathways. The satiety trifecta includes fiber, healthy fats, and clean, lean protein. Fiber and protein slow down stomach emptying, which suppresses a key hunger hormone, while fat triggers the release of satiety signals in your small intestine to tell your brain that you’re full.   Episode Play-By-Play [1:08] Introduction to today’s episode [2:37] Listener shout-out [4:01] Want a better quality of sleep while also calming your brain?

Fed up. Fed up. I said it thrice on my walk this morning. And then Renuka pointed out that I was saying it yet again, as I reached the cafe. If you know me well, you probably know I'm always darting around at a squillion miles an hour. As a friend, Kimberley Carroll once said to me: “Sean you're a mad person. You're always busy doing things”. Even so, at some point all of us hit a wall It's not the kind of wall you're thinking of. This isn't a spiral into sadness, frustration and depression. It's just a feeling I tend to get into, when I sense I need a break. And instead of paying attention to what my brain and body is telling me, I dig my heels in and go to work. I turn on my phone and listen to another podcast or audio book. I turn that moment into a learning episode. Except today, my phone decided to have a mind of its own. I turned on the phone on my walk back, expecting to continue listening to an audio book. Instead, the phone started playing my favourite music. Admittedly my music tastes are pretty eclectic. They go from quawwali, to African drums, some Turkish music. Buried in the middle of it all is tango, Taylor Swift and Zhu. However, today my phone decided to play Randy Travis. Yup, country music. That's the twangy stuff that comes out of Nashville, Tennessee. The stuff that most people like to turn their noses up at.  But for me, country music isn't weird at all. I pretty much grew up with a generous dose of country music. Think about that; a kid growing up in Mumbai, India, listening to country music. But I didn't just listen to the Randy Travises, George Straits and Ricky Skaggs. I record whole country radio shows and listen to it repeatedly on the sound system As you can tell, the music floods my brain with subtle waves of joy and growing up. Anyway, my earphones were plugged in, and there I was on my “horse”, listening to country music on my way back home. But something had changed. I was no longer disgusted. I had a big smile on my face, and Renuka was struggling to keep up with my pace and stride. By the time I was back home, a mere half an hour later, I was a changed person. The body and brain has a wall We all run into that wall from time to time. Instead of paying attention to that obstruction, we try to bludgeon our way through it. What the brain is telling us, is that it seeks a bit of distraction; a good dose of downtime. For most of us, music is an instant mood lifter. Yes, it's an obvious choice to turn our mood around, but strangely we seem to ignore it when we're in a foul mood. But why stop at music? What else makes you happy? I know a visit to the library makes me happy. So does a visit to the cafe, but not with any books or learning to do. Just to sit there and watch the world go by—that's a big fun-trip. Most days my to-do list is fine, even important, but on some days I need to block my ears. Instead of listening to my to-do list, I need to pay attention to your brain and body. Bowing to the demands of a to-do list is bound to make me even more miserable. Instead today, instead of wallowing in frustration, I decided to have some fun on a Thursday. I blasted the music, cooked some food, went for a haircut and wandered through the public library. I even thought of driving down to the ferry and jumping on it and going around to the city, for no particular reason. A miserable day is a miserable day only because we choose to make it miserable It's not something that can be solved with a tub of ice-cream or half a dozen cookies. Work is a lot of fun for a lot of us, but we often fail to realise that work is a series of projects. Take for instance, the work I've been doing this week. I had to write an entire sales page, draw cartoons, put in videos and organise the layout for a sales page. We're having a sales page/landing page workshop in Singapore and Brussels next April and clients have been asking for details so they can sign up. Having finished that sales page, I had another chunky assignment. I needed to finish my presentation for a speech I'm giving in Australia in early November. These are big, mind-taxing projects. What would you do right after you finished this volume of work? I'll tell you what I did. I ploughed right into another project, because just like you I have another twenty thousand things to complete. Yet that was completely the wrong thing to do and it's no wonder that I was feeling rotten And that's when my phone decided to take over my life. It played music, instead of yet another audiobook. It's something that we all need to understand if we're to make our work more fun and with greater meaning. What's really cool is that it doesn't take a lot of effort. Blast the music. Do something you really like doing. In half an hour you'll feel so good, you'll almost feel like going to work. I feel so energised that I came to work, but only to write this article. I'm off to library-land and to drink a coffee with no other agenda in mind for today. I'll be back tomorrow, re-energised It's been four days. Am I still fed up? Or energised? P.S. It's Monday morning and I forgot that I was irritated four days ago. The weekend helped as well. I watched a TV series for five, maybe six hours straight on Netflix. I slept at 1 am, woke up at 7. I did a lot of drawings, played with my nieces on the weekend. I suppose that storm has passed for more than one reason. But the primary reason is that I was jumping from one project to the other. I wasn't rewarding myself mentally, by taking the time off. And that's when it all feels like too much work. That mental refreshment is underrated these days. We're all supposed to be on the go, go, go, all the time. Instead, just filling in my mind with fun activities and a great deal of no activity, I woke up to a bright Monday with no recollection of Thursday. I'm still singing country songs. I must be happy. If you're keen on turning your day around, this is definitely the way to go Stop doing work, because work will always be around. Even if you're employed and can't just take the day off, like I could, you can still take a short break, turn on the music and go for a walk. If you're like me, and have your own business, take the rest of the day off. In all the years I've been in business, I've never ever seen the to-do list go down. No matter how much you do, there's always a lot to be done. Take the day off, refresh your brain, sleep—sleep a lot, because that's what your brain is craving. And that creates a turnaround. Suddenly work is fun again. Next up: How To Stop Your Left Brain From Thinking

Odille will take you on a journey to fully unlocking your brain’s potential! If you've been wondering how to overcome fears, past traumas, and overall change the way your brain works this is the podcast for YOU! Toward the end of 2015, at 51 years old, Odille was divorced, renting a room in a shared house in England, cleaning other people's houses, and still unable to pay her bills. This, after a lifetime of struggle (financial and emotional), including extraordinary failures, fibromyalgia, IBS, and suicidal plans.In 2016, not only was she able to pay her bills, but she'd also travelled to America (multiple cities) three times, Spain (twice), Ireland, and Greece (paying for her sister and son to come with her to Greece).She now lives in Peoria, Illinois (which she loves), is married to the love of her life (they met in Feb 2017), doing what she loves for a living AND - She now owns the rental properties she used to clean! What Changed:She discovered two things that helped create the success she experienced:1 - Based on the latest in neuroscience, She conditioned her brain and body, physiologically, to produce more "feel-good" chemicals like endorphins, serotonin, and oxytocin (which she then developed into a modality, and wrote a book on the topic: You Have a Superpower).Whenever you're feeling any negative emotion, your brain and body are producing stress chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol.These stress chemicals cause blood to drain from the prefrontal cortex of your brain (where you do your cognitive thinking like problem-solving, strategizing, processing information, and noticing opportunities) - so you literally can't think straight and your judgement is impaired.When you switch from stress chemicals to feel-good chemicals, blood returns to the prefrontal cortex, bringing that part of your brain back "online".So, feeling good is about more than just feeling good - it's about keeping your cognitive thinking online! ;)2 - Again, based on neuroscience, she discovered the connection between subconscious "evidence" from childhood and teenage experiences, that "proves" who we are and how the world works - and the results and struggles we experience in life as adults... and how to change it.For more on the science behind that, here's an article that sites some of the scientific references:Can We Change Adverse Childhood Memories?She and her husband created a proprietary modality: The Remmert Method - which helps people to:Gain complete control over their emotional state (and condition their brain and body to produce more "feel-good" chemicals - like you would condition your body to get fitter through an exercise program. Change the original subconscious "evidence" that is supporting the limiting subconscious beliefs ... that are creating the current resultsIt's like changing the "GPS" in your subconscious - to where you want to go, rather than leaving it on "default".For more details and information on what we do and how it works, and to see a little of what we'd be like to interview, here are some links:YouTube Videos:One Quick Tip for How to Overcome Procrastination: 4 minutesHow to Find Subconscious Money Blocks: 15 minutesA Live Demonstration of Using One of Our Techniques with a Viewer during a Facebook Live - to find a limiting subconscious money block: 25 minutesHow to Deal with Negative Thoughts: 5 minutesHow Your Subconscious is Controlling Your Emotions: 8 minutesMore Information on Childhood Memory Transformation, on our website:https://www.theremmertmethod.com/what-is-cmt.htmlFollow Jacob:WebsiteLinkedInTwitter: @jacob_m_harmonFollow Kalob:LinkedInFollow SuccessQuest:WebsiteBlogFacebook PageCommunity (Facebook Group)LinkedInTwitter: @MySuccessQuestInstagram @MySuccessQuestSupport SuccessQuestWe work incredibly hard to create our podcast, newsletter, Facebook group and more.
