A great way to get into #4 the "Grateful Flow" is to utilize the alphabet! For each letter say something you are grateful for! I can't remember where I learned this from or if I made it up myself but it works every single time! Whether stuck in L.A. traffic, or at a job you dislike, just doing the dishes or trying to calm down stress just start the alphabet! By the time I get to Z I am a whole new ME! A - I am grateful for my ABUNDANCE of love from my family. B - I am grateful for my many BUSINESS ideas. C - I am grateful for my CAR always working great and getting me safely to and from my locations. Then all the way to Z! xoxo

Notes 🎉 All tools tied with forward motion via any of the tools: Tool 1 Reverse desire Rather than look at pain awful, get excited about it Infinite potential exist on the other side of his fears Fears the best things that can happen. That’s the time to train yourself. You feel pain, approach it. Tool 2 Active love When you are in maze Beam the problem love Tool 3 Inner authority You need to embrace the part of you that you don’t want to look at Don’t be ashame Take those parts and have that version of you Tool 4 Grateful Flow We need to have gratitude on demand Flip the switch Tool 5 Theme song count down for jeopardy This is a reminder to use will power Most important tool Brings these ones to life Out predicts it Your future is screaming for you to do the right thing

Great book indeed. I specially liked one phrase in the book about the first rule: “You’re taking a normal desire to avoid pain and reversing it into a desire to face it.”-this sentence triggered a little switch in my brain that oh my, I really needed that.

Hi brian love your work. i listened to this episode, listened to the 3 interviews, purchased the book and read the book and focused on rereadind the part of reversal of desire. I have done it many times but i haven't been able to to feel the higher power. Do you have any suggestion? did you manage to succeed? thank you very much. btw, soon i'l purchase your program. You inspire me. thank you very much

It is a really good book. Is there more like this ?

[@edaa1861]

I'm reaching you from turkey. I was very impressed with the documentary by Phil2in and I wanted to reach him to suggest a therapy that could be good for his disease, but I couldn't find his e-mail address. If you're meeting with him, could you let him know that I suggested he research Bert Hellinger's family constellation therapy? Max dauskart and alemka dauskart are my favorite therapists, if they want, you can communicate with them on facebook or find other people, but I think there is a hope of curing something that medicine can't cure for Parkinson's, and I couldn't pass without sharing this.

i'm reading this book right now, i'm enjoying it so far! do you personally use these tools on a daily basis and find them helpful ? frankly i find it quite hard to visualize things (a cloud in front of me like in the first tool) like do i need to repeat this process many times in order to get it ? thank you for your videos :)

[@HeroicBrian]

Rym Bs I use different ones at different times! Don't worry about perfect visualization. The intention is key. And practice makes everything better, eh? Have fun and thanks for your note, Rym!

[@Saffron-sugar]

The love beaming is amazing. Shove love instead of festering in resentment. I’m a bit confused though. “Reversal of desire“ is doing the opposite behavior as usual? So confronting rather than avoiding? it’s hard for me to understand because, desire usually means a strong want that you have A passion that you have, rather than a negative reaction. Or if I completely missed what the desire being reversed is?

What if you use Jeopardy and it starts to haunt you? Like since I started using the tools, sometimes the image of my dying self pops up and tells me to get my ass moving, my adrenaline spikes and I can't sleep. I have to find a way to switch it off. :/ Maybe have my dying self tell me I have done enough and it is okay to go to sleep now so I wont be groggy in the morning? I think I just answered my own question. Trying it out and leaving it here in case someone comes along with a similar issue. How is this for some impromptu journaling? :)

[@JulianaBeasley1967]

Wow, Bri, I'm in the ick sauce.. some negative stuff around me and in my life and yep, the ick sauce. Was doing good for a bit which is good for me. And I guess I need to channel some gratitude flow and that's about all I can do at this hour. Facing some big challenges in life now and strangely some really great opportunities and goodies at the same time which is confusing and exhausting emotionally to be dealing with two externals that are so opposing. If you have any suggestions here on how to get out of ick sauce besides exercise which has to start tomorrow, I would appreciate it. Hey if this made a top book for 2012, maybe this is what I need to read. Thanks again. And I like that ick sauce definition.. it just sounds better that what it really is.

[@HeroicBrian]

Juliana Beasley Consistency on your fundamentals. Consistency on your fundamentals. Consistency on your fundamentals. I will repeat that forever. :) Remember Dan Siegel's wisdom!!!!! BRAIN HYGIENE BASICS: THE FOUNDATION OF NEUROPLASTICITY “I reminded him that with regular exercise, a good diet, and sleep, he could set the foundation for promoting neuroplasticity. Jonathan and I made a verbal agreement that he would follow this “prescription” for health. It’s amazing how often these basics of brain health are ignored. Exercise is an underrated treatment-and now we know that aerobics not only releases the endorphins that can combat a down mood but also promotes the growth of the brain. Eating regularly and well, balancing the various food groups, and avoiding excess sugar and stimulants can help to reduce mood swings. And sleep, though in short supply and difficult at times to initiate for Jonathan, is a healer that can be approached in a systematic way. Sleep hygiene includes setting up a calming routine before bed. Minimizing caffeine or other stimulants once evening approaches, if not before; shutting off digital stimulation an hour or two before sleeping; and quiet activities such as taking a bath, listening to soothing music, or reading a book can all help the body as well as the mind to settle. With these brain hygiene basics in our contract, we could move into our specific efforts to promote integration.”

[@JulianaBeasley1967]

***** Thanks so much Brian. I will look at it. I have to move out of ick sauce.

[@HeroicBrian]

Did I mention the importance of consistency? :) I would be willing to bet a TON that you feel best when you're consistent with your fundamentals and worst when you're not. How do I know? Because it's a universal truth and those of us most sensitive to ups and downs need to pay the most attention. Sending love! P.S. Consistency is awesome. haha. :)

[@JulianaBeasley1967]

***** I actually quoted you on my Oasis page.. as saying "consistency, consistency, consistency.. " That word is my primary word and the other word you gave me "constraints" are the benchmarks of 2015 and beyond for me. I am delcluttering right now. I have not found my quest yet.. I am not ready. Right now, it's all about getting down the foundation of good mental and physical behaviors... thanks so much for all the care, generosity. love and time you put into this humanistic work that you do. My therapist is very pleased with the work I am doing because of you. She is an ACT therapist too. If you have any other videos that would be helpful for someone who struggles with depression and extreme moods swings.. I would love to see them. Sending you and your family love and blessings. Thanks so much!! I know you are busy and your responses truly mean so much to me. Hugs!
