September 24, 201938: How I let go and followed what was calling me | My story with ITN
At the beginning of August I was on The Institute of Transformational Nutrition's IG live talking with one of the success coaches, Kylee. It was an honor to be highlighted as one of their student success stories just as I was finishing up the certification, which I fully finished in 2 days after the call.
The coaches there played a great role in supporting me as I was just starting out with the certification, I even had one of them, Mindy, as a previous guest on my podcast. It was really meaningful to speak with them months later after making the leap to take the course and now finishing it up.
I wanted to share it with you today not to promote the certification or tell anyone anything, but to share a story in my life where I really struggled. I truly felt scared about making a decision that would change the way I look at life and the direction I would take my life. I hope by listening to how I went from letting go of what I truly felt no longer served me, to following what I knew was calling me you can connect with what's calling you. We all connect at a point of struggle and listening to myself was one. Now, one year later of taking that jump I truly feel more in tune with my inner voice.

July 16, 201934: The Big Leap, Upper Limit Problems, and Discovering your Personal Genius | Dr. Gay Hendricks
Show Notes:
Background and what spurted Dr. Hendrick's interest in psychology and personal development

The Big Leap, which is about 2 things:
How to overcome the Upper Limit problem: our tendency to sabotage ourselves when we get to a certain point

How to discover your own personal genius

Why we need to learn how to handle upper limit problems

The ways an ULP can show up - arguments, accidents, illness, worry thoughts

The 7 step process of transforming a worry into something positive in The Big Leap

Interrupt the negative thought pattern

Influence compared to control

The Joy of Genius

We're not really in control of our thoughts. Most of us are trying to control our thoughts ineffectively, when what we need to do is let go and implant a better quality thought.

How Gay manifested a perfect relationship with his "Absolute Yesses" and said to the Universe "he'll never settle for less"

Think of a thought like a balloon attached to a string and the sting is attached to some emotion. You notice it and get underneath that and feel it in your body. Rather than changing it from the level of the mind, go down the string to what it's attached to. Most are attached to anger, sadness, fear.

Permission to feel the emotion. How to embody and feel your emotions.

Integrity with ourselves and being able to express them

"Fear is excitement without the breath" - Fritz Perls

Peace of mind can only be attained through total participation.

wholebody/wholehearted acceptance of it

Dr. Hendrick's moment of awakening when he was 24 that led him to "do whatever it takes to feel [bliss] all the time"

How Gay met Ramdas and whathe told Gay : "don't worry something will come to you"

How can I get ____ ? And instead of answering it, celebrate the question

How can I express my true genius in such a way that it brings rewards to me and everyone around me? What is it I most love to do? What do I do that when I'm doing it I lose track of time?

Own time rather than be the victim of time.

"Life is what's going on while you're making other plans."

Journey from head to heart

Wonder!

Breath. Move. Love

Gay's USM and morning routine

The organic process of life

Doing more of what you most love to do.

In your 20s your job is to experiment, in your 30s your job is to really find what you love to do, your 40s is about building your life, 50s and 60s are about coming into full integrity

Gay's gift to open up to your true genius. You're there when you have a full body sensation of serene delight.

Advice to his younger self: Patience, Preparation, and Persistence but only if you're interested in something because then you make your own lucky breaks

Luckiness implies you have prepared for what comes your way, Study really hard but study what you're interested in.

What am I interested in ? And how much?

Try different things and see what interests you, and see what sticks. The thing you think about a lot are the ones you ought to be doing .

John's gift to share: Know thyself. What could be better than doing something that's fun and gratifying and knowing the world is a better place because of it.

What is your purpose for wanting to live a healthy lifestyle?

Short term goals will give you short term results

Scheduling you're training means making it a priority

In your work, what produces the highest ratio of abundance and satisfaction to amount for time spent? (even if you only spend 10 seconds or a few minutes of it, an idea or a deeper connection may spring forth that leads to huge value).

Advice for anyone wanting to get into training: start with a bodyweight program that is diverse in different movement patterns. It gives a truer connection with one's body. It can expose a weakness in a typically non dangerous way. Be in tune with the movements you're doing
