My brain has been binge-eating Alex's podcast, and I was like "Alex is a genius! Alex is a genius!" then I listened to Alex and Leila on the Bigger Pockets podcast and was like "Leila is a genius! Leila is a genius!" Leila and Alex produce insane quality *and* insane quantity - hard work pays off. Thank you Leila!

Thought Diffusion: Concept: Observing and detaching from thoughts rather than getting caught up in their content. Application: Differentiating between thoughts and actions, particularly in areas like weight loss and business. Example: Choosing not to eat despite feeling hungry or wanting to eat, and facing situations where tempting food is present. Technique: Visualizing thoughts as fish in a pond, identifying the unproductive ones, and discarding them. Emphasis: Separating oneself from thoughts and emotions, using language to gain control over them. Self as Context: Concept: Avoiding over-attachment to self-created identities and stories. Application: Acting contrary to one’s usual self-perceptions in various situations. Example: Acting unanxious despite feeling anxious, breaking the identity of being an anxious person. Emphasis: Realizing that thoughts and emotions are separate from the self, allowing for action despite discomfort. Acceptance: Concept: Developing a new relationship with thoughts and emotions, accepting them rather than rejecting or avoiding. Application: Embracing discomfort and anxiety as part of experience. Example: Dealing with anxiety attacks by accepting and staying in the situation, rather than fleeing. Emphasis: Accepting negative emotions can often help dissipate them, likened to escaping quicksand by staying still. Presence: Concept: Staying in the present moment, avoiding dwelling on past or future. Application: Using activities like walking or meditation to observe surroundings and thoughts. Example: Changing routines regularly to avoid becoming overly reliant on them for stress management. Emphasis: Being present allows for observation rather than getting engulfed by thoughts. Values: Concept: Defining personal values to guide decisions and actions. Application: Identifying values from admired individuals or personal qualities. Example: Narrowing down to three key values for easier daily application. Emphasis: Values act as filters for making decisions aligned with personal goals and desires. Committed Action: Concept: Taking actions that align with personal values, not out of fear or avoidance. Application: Incorporating new habits into existing routines, substituting behaviors, and planning for imperfections. Example: Linking a new habit (like taking vitamins) with an established routine (like brushing teeth). Emphasis: Acknowledging that change is a process, and not expecting perfection. Action is essential for learning and progress.

Are you just taking notes or taking action?

[@brettm3261]

​@@salesprostevetaking notes is the first step to taking action. Now go apply it :)

[@LanaiintheSky]

[@MitchellSnyder9]

This robs ppl of the experience of actually taking it on

[@biarosalina]

No I’ll still take it into memory I don’t want to sit for 25 min

[@quickmed]

"You don't have to get rid of your emotions to live in accordance with your values." Probably the best explanation of "you are not your emotions" I have heard. Pearls of wisdom jam-packed into 25 minutes or so.

[@user-ti7kc9ux8i]

Thought diffusion was HILAROUS, I will adopt Georgia🙈

[@simonko1225]

I am not the type that is leaving comments under youtube videos. But this was soooo good. I am amazed of how you put out and verbalise the knowledge and wisdom in such an awesome way. Thank you Leila, this was brilliant. I am going to rewatch it right now, I want to absorb the awesomeness hhhah.

[@salome10011]

Wow Leila. You have a gift for articulating really complex concepts in a way that are not only easy to understand, but highly accessible and actionable. Thank you for taking the time to think through this video and sharing. ❤

[@giullianaarias.]

how is someone so wise and it’s so humble and kind to share this knowledge with everyone. I feel lucky to know her and be able to listen to her every time I need it.

[@mayvicastaneda8452]

I have watched hrs of videos, and from the bottom of my heart this 25 minute video is the one that has impacted me the most. She is dropping gems, and I thank her !

[@katrinab8391]

You’re an amazing teacher and therapist Leila! You’re my virtual coach. Thank you so much for all the valuable free content you share. Onward and upward. ♥️🌹

[@jenniferdettloff-carter4245]

Leila- you've posted an increasing variety of topics, and they're all are pretty valuable. This video, I must say, is one of my favorites! After taking a lot of notes for me to personally implement, I've forwarded it to my (grown) kids, and posted it in my therapy group (I'm a hypnotherapist, we talk about a lot of topics in our group, and your video hits on a lot of Really Important life coping/ life management skills, both in general, and as it pertains to mental health/mental fitness.) 'Very empowering ideas & strategies. Thanks for this very thoughtful video!

[@cupofmozzarella]

Wow these older pictures are really transformative, and it's great that you allow yourself to have other people see these vulnerable/insecure parts of your life as a way to help us. Was subbed to Alex for a couple months now, also subbed to you today.

[@projectsmilebyblankcanvas8575]

Thank you for posting this! Honestly, the timing of this video is PERFECT! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

[@shilohbell1573]

1) I LOVE your content. 2) I’m so impressed that you’ve been able to come to these conclusions so young. I’m in my 40’s and just now beginning to understand that I can have negative emotions and anxiety and allow space for it with out trying to expell it or give it too much attention.

[@pnwlady]

Leila, thank you for sharing your vetted wisdom. I am so grateful to you and others who attain genuine, comprehensive success and share your knowledge. I lost my resilience during the pandemic but now telling myself that story continues to make it true. Life is challenging but talking about good tools and getting back to action is invaluable. 💜

[@UldisBiz]

Absolutely fantabulous advice. I'll be rewatching and soaking it in multiple times. Thanks, Leila. You and your husband are such a blessing to everyone with the desire to better themselves.

[@sadaamhasaan_]

This is a mindset masterclass. Thank you!

[@coyotemoon722]

I have been suffering from extreme panic disorder, but I am turning the corner. The principles in this video are going to help me achieve my goal of living a great life without being paralyzed by fear, aka negative thoughts and emotions. I'm still figuring it out, but this helped a TON. Thank you, Leila! ❤

[@salmasaad198]

I’ll go do it now, I don’t wanna waste another valuable advice like I did all these years watching and doing nothing. Thank you ❤

[@brandonfortino]

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen someone talk about. Thank you Leila for your way explaining these concepts in such an easy to understand manner. I’m definitely going to be using this in my day to day from now on

[@JulianGarcia-mh2iy]

Thanks for this video Leila! Currently 19 yrs old and trying to unlearn old beliefs and make it easier for myself to win everyday. Amazing vid 100%

[@melissarocha5019]

[@nicolealanis]

Thank you so much for your content Leila, I really admire your mindset and it's helping me a lot these days, specially with uni, work and my personal projects, things get really messy in my mind

[@Stbarthba]

You got this

[@optimalmktg]

This is a rare content to find these days. A beautiful human discussing everyday human issues with such clarity and authenticity. Leila, thank you for sharing your insights and connecting with us on a deeper level.

[@rynsloane]

Thank you Leila, I really appreciate how you share so much and break things down!

[@summeradillard9295]

The example on how to figure out your values is so helpful! I recently realized that was one of the things I was missing therefore keeping me in confused state. I already started getting clarity just thinking about it. Thank you!!

[@rubypayne4965]

I like the fish in the pond, and it reminds me of some basic mindfulness and meditiation techniques. Being the observer, realizing that you are not your thoughts or emotions, and choosing to just let thoughts go by like cars passing on a road rather than reacting. I don't know if the idea here came from meditation or mindfulness practice, but it's powerful.

[@kastnostones]

Thank you Leila for such powerful words.🎉 This is an incredible video and powerful to my soul. ❤ You are an inspiration to many.

[@luraayzit]

Congratulations Laila. You have mastered your own thoughts. Keep on evolving and stay true to you. You and your team have unlocked expansion and abundance mindset in me. Keep going. I will.

[@erinrichardson95]

Leila your gift of communication is so relatable, helpful, and practical in application! I am neck deep in working toward transforming my life and this video is in my top 10 to save, re-watch and take notes. Thank you for spelling this out so well, I actually thought about illustrating a children's book about putting heavy thoughts in a purse, to give them a place to be... Children could benefit from this beautiful wisdom, I know I have!

[@CrushEatRepeat]

This is absolute gold. Saving this to my success playlist but more importantly putting these techniques to work starting today.

[@EiLiN251]

I’m going to re-watch this so many times. I hear you Leila. Thank you.

[@user-ti7kc9ux8i]

THE video that I needed. Thank you so much Leila.

[@RaylinRecords]

So many hidden gems in this video. WOW. I'm definitely in need of an identity shift. I didn't realize what my thoughts were dictating me to do, and what that really meant for my health and well being. You give the best advice, and I LOVE the way you teach. This video was so helpful.

[@peachesandpoets]

You're speaking almost word for word Albert Ellis. People, REBT will change your life. Be your own therapist. Look it up.

[@sage503]

She has literally said multiple times that her opinions are based on what she’s read from Albert Ellis…

[@Prohitd]

@@sage503I didn’t know that she had so I appreciate @peachesandpoets comment. I also thought the ideas stemmed from REBT.

[@Prohitd]

@@sage503 Your comment seems to imply OP shouldn’t have commented what they did. Boo.

[@divinegoddess7579]

What book exactly would you recommend from Ellis

[@shebacynn1320]

Thanks for sharing. I’ll have a look never heard of it.

[@Karo-le2io]

Framing "not feeling like it but doing it anyway" as a skillset now gives me joy about it. To improve it. Thanks Leila 😊

[@tinyhappystudio]

i laughed my ass off at you calling your brain Georgia , ‘Georgia is at it again starting something’, what a great technique! Really loved this video, you distilled so many concepts into such s short space of time. I’ll definitely be re-watching it to take notes!

[@tuanhywhere]

Leila, I love these insights. You just made my lightbulbs turn on multiple times here. Somehow the 3 core value part struck me. Will work on these immediately as my current list of 12 values is so overwhelming I cannot keep them top of mind during my day.
