I would basically describe it as a lie detector test for you body.

Our company is working on integrating this book into our culture. We know that Happy people are more effective. IN fact the entire premise of the book is that when you are happy you have an advantage over everyone else because your brain simply works better.

One of the greatest sources of unhappiness in people’s lives is the idea that you need to postpone happiness in order to accomplish your goals. THEN you will be happy.

The problem is science is now showing the exact opposite. When you are happy your brain simply works better and you will succeed much faster.

Today we took the kids to the Koreshan State Park. An interesting former commune started by a cult called the Koreshans. We were all impressed by the cool stuff they built: A sawmill, powerplant, a laundry facility.

Thomas Edison spent some time here because they were very eager to adopt new technologies.

I have read some great books lately including The Healing Code by DR Alex Loyd, and have started on Evolve Your Brain by Joe Dispenza.

Both great books for understanding what stress is and how it works in your body.

I will be doing a lot more videos in the future about stress and how to deal with it.

Enjoy

Transcript:

Hi, this is Steve your emotional coach. First of all, what is an emotional coach? Well, one of the things I do is help people deal with stress. First of all overcome debilitating types of stress which often manifest themselves as anxiety and depression. Then what we try is to equip you to deal with stress on your own. The benefit of that is that you’re just happier in general, but the big benefit is that if you can deal with stress effectively you can connect constituently and authentically with what’s important to your heart and it can make a massive change in your health.

First of all, we’re going to be talking about, what is stress? I read a book recently that does an effective job of explaining this and giving simple tools that you can use yourself to help deal with stress. The book is called “The Healing Code” by Dr. Alex Loyd with Dr. Ben Johnson also.

First of all I just want to give you a very simple answer. Stress is basically a fight or flight response on an emotional level and on a physiological level by saying “Danger, something’s about to happen, be prepared!” In the right circumstance that can be very good because you need to deal with someone trying to hurt you or a wild animal, whatever; it’s a good thing to be able to respond appropriately to stress. Here’s a basic explanation. If you could imagine that massive battleships have massive amounts of crew members on it and each has a different job. You’ve got plumbers, electricians, cooks and all these people doing different things; however, if the ship is attacked its battle stations and the alarms go off. You know the cook who is peeling potatoes drops the potatoes because he’s got a different job to do. In your body what happens though, is when you’re stressed physiologically a lot of things happen. One of the first things that happens is you’re immune systems goes [makes cutting gesture across throat]. It’s not important. Your immune system is responsible for feed me, fix me, defend me, repair me. It’s repairing things and healing your body. So when you’re under a constant state of stress it makes a massive impact on your physical health.
The problem is that when we go through life on a subconscious level our consciousness starts to write programs to help us to respond with stress to situations which are not appropriate to respond with stress. Weird example: when you’re little someone with a yellow shirt screams at you for no good reason and it stresses you out. So your brain writes a program subconsciously that whenever you see yellow, you need to be stressed. That’s not a healthy or appropriate response, so what happens is you’re constantly in a state of stress. You’re not responding appropriately emotionally to your environment and your physical health is seriously impacted. The big issue with that is that because your body and subconscious believe that this is a very important program, it almost has a write-protect thing on it. So it makes it very difficult to change.
Another good explanation of stress and how your emotions work is from this book called “Evolve Your Brain” by Joe Dispenza. I actually skipped ahead to chapter 9 because someone told me that it was very good, and it was very good. What we want to talk a bit about right here in chapter 9 is about how your attitude impacts things. You have a certain attitude and that attitude impacts your neural net, peptides created in your hypothalamus, which sends signals to your cells. In other words, certain emotions have certain chemical interactions that then course throughout your body. Your cells, when they get a lot of a certain type of chemicals from a certain emotions like worry or shame, they make additional receptor sites to handle the amount of chemicals that are coming in. Now one thing they do is impact the expression of genetic information and they also impact the expressions of proteins. Now you’ve got a lot of different proteins in your body, just think about this, the way your body expresses proteins has a lot to do with youth and vitality. Okay? So the way your proteins are expressed impacts the expression of life and the health of your body. So your attitude can impact the health of your body.
Now here’s a major, major problem. So your cells have all these receptor cites for shame or worry or whatever; if you change your attitude or environment or whatever was causing all this worry and shame, the problem is those receptor cells still want the chemicals associated with worry and shame. So they’ll send a signal back up to the brain that says “Hey, we need more of these chemicals that caused shame or worry because it’s what we’ve got receptors for.” So your brain can respond by looking at things that are going on around you and interpreting them as stress which sends the chemicals through. Or, your brain will actually go out and create stressful situations.
Now a classic example of this is people who are in bad relationships. My goodness, why do these people stay in a relationship that is so bad for them or keep going out with the guy who treats them horribly and piles shame and worry on them or stress? Well, at a certain level there is a physiological chemical addiction in your brain to these chemicals. So it creates an addict, you become an addict literally and physiologically to shame or worry or different things like that.
So the question is how are we going to fix this? We won’t go into it a lot, but the number one thing is to understand the process at work; to understand that you can fix it and to become a little more self-aware. Now one thing I am going to say is that people often get so overwhelmed with stress and trauma that they are unable to help themselves. Now we’re talking about people with major post traumatic stress disorders from rape or war or something else. You have completely blown a fuse emotionally. One of the things that I do personally is deal with people who have gone through that; that are freaking out and they’re like “Okay, I know that I am freaking out and do not have the ability to help myself.”
One of the best techniques I use is something from “The Emotion Code”. A very brief explanation, “The Emotion Code” gives you the tools to tract down and re-flip that breaker that got blown by stress. Oftentimes we see dramatic changes in people’s emotional state in 60 minutes or less. Then you go back and use “The Healing Code” as something you can do on your own, become more conscious of how you’re reacting to situations and what you’re actually feeling. You can use the techniques in “The Healing Code” book to change your emotional state and actually create something different in your life.
I hope that was helpful. We’re going to be doing multiple videos on what is stress, explanations of it and how to overcome it because this is a major deal in people’s lives. Not only for their emotional health, but it massively impacts your physical health too. You can spend your life savings on chiropractors and doctors, supplements and drugs trying to change the impact that stress has had on your physiological body and not make any progress until you change how you deal with stress and that impact on your physical body. Then you can really start making headway on your physical health.
