The Jerry Banfield Show

Words have the power of life and death behind them, and that is why I try to use my words to bring and give life and to communicate the love I have for myself and the world. Like every person, I have thoughts both good and bad. By ignoring the bad thoughts I allow them to pass, and instead focus on bringing love and understanding into the world.

What helps you get started on the right foot each day? I have a steady routine that allows me to wake up on the right side of the bed each day, and get a productive start to my morning. I avoid checking Facebook, news sites or e-mail when first waking up, because I have realized that if I see negative news it will negatively effect my mood for the rest of the day. The first thing I do every morning is eat a balanced meal. The Snicker's commercial that says you're not you when you're hungry couldn't be more true! The second thing I do each morning is pray that I may be of service to the world. Prayer helps to keep me humble, and saying a prayer before I start help working puts me in a more productive mindset. I hope you find this helpful, and have a great day!

Are you reluctant to try new things? The fear I have when trying new things is ridiculous! I used to avoid doing new things because of the underlying fear I had, but now I look at it and go about doing things that feel right. Today, I have the chance to look at these fears and see whether they are helping me or hurting me. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback.

How do you deal with productivity problems? In the past, I have had problems dealing with procrastination, lack of achievements and getting bored fast. I felt as if I was on a treadmill, running in place and getting nowhere in life. it wasn't until I started being thankful for what I had in life that I found happiness.

Are you satisfied at the end of each day? Do you regret not being able to finish things? You have the right to be happy with what you have done at the end of every single day. In the past, things left unfinished would consume me. I would often work long hours just for a feeling of completeness. Today I am grateful that what I did throughout the day was enough. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate you feedback!

Do you like to procrastinate? I stopped avoiding things, and I now tackle things head on. In the past I would often avoid things I did not want to do, or that seemed difficult. For example, when I was in school I would often put off writing an essay until the last possible moment. The problem with procrastinating is that it will cause unneeded stress & anxiety, and you will often expend more energy than if you immediately completed the task. One technique I use to avoid procrastinating is breaking up large and often daunting projects into smaller and more manageable tasks. If you had told me that I had to record 1,000 video lectures this year, I would have told you no way! But, by recording 3-5 videos per day it has become much more manageable, and even enjoyable. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I hope you have a nice day!

Whatever choices you have right now in this moment, are infinitely more rich and inspired than any plans you may have made in the past. Now this doesn't mean that you shouldn't make plans regarding your future, but it does mean that life is much more rich in the moment. I like to make decisions in the moment rather than through planning, because it allows me to make choices when I have the most data. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I hope you have a great day!

Seeing how all people are the same inspires me to love and take care of myself, so that I can be useful for everyone else. For most of my life I felt different from those around me. This caused me to feel isolated from the rest of the world, and I didn't work well with others. Now I like to view people like ants, because we are working towards similar goals and are ultimately interconnected. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

What happens to me is much less important than how I react to it. I used to live my life focusing on what happened to me, and largely ignorant of how important my reaction was. Today, how I react to things is all that matters. What actually happens to me is all seen through how I react to it. I hope this video is helpful to you, and I hope you have a great day!
