The 90-Day Holistic Health Challenge

Many of you are probably aware of the fact that I suffered several heart attacks over the past couple of weeks — culminating with two major heart attacks that required the placement of a stent in a major artery leading to my heart. I have to admit that as the Dean of the Schools for Health & Wellness at Crystal Rain Institute and A.R.O.H. Theological Seminary, as well as the founder and President of Master Fitness 21, it is a little embarrassing that I allowed my health to deteriorate to this point.

The truth is that it is not difficult to get caught up in the challenges of everyday life and begin to neglect even the most important things. I am not offering up an excuse for not taking care of myself; there isn’t a valid reason. I am merely saying that we must make a committed effort to make our holistic health a priority.

I laid there in the hospital having that second major heart attack, and watching all of the staff members of the rapid response team work in unison to save my life. I realized that all of my intentions associated with grinding and working hard would be for nothing if I died before completing my work. At this moment, I rediscovered the importance of balance in every aspect of life.

At that moment, I made myself a promise that I would make my health a priority. Over the next 90 days, I am committed to achieving holistic health — emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically. The goal is to create the optimal atmosphere and environment to allow my body to heal itself.

So many of us are destroying ourselves from the inside out — primarily through chronic stress and anxiety. Yes, nutrition and exercise are essential to achieving physical and mental health goals: however, how we view life and the negative impact of our fears and concerns have a more lasting effect on us than you can ever imagine.

According to WebMD, while periodical stress is inevitable, chronic stress can be quite destructive to a person’s natural equilibrium — disrupting homeostasis. Chronic stress can lead to:

  • Mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders
  • Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease, high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, heart attacks, and stroke
  • Obesity and other eating disorders
  • Menstrual problems
  • Sexual dysfunction, such as impotence and premature ejaculation in men and loss of sexual desire in both men and women
  • Skin and hair problems, such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema, and permanent hair loss
  • Gastrointestinal problems, such as GERD, gastritis, ulcerative colitis, and irritable colon

I am embarking upon a 90-Day journey where I will transform my life in multitudinous ways to achieve optimal health. I am inviting you to take this journey with me. Master Fitness 21 and The Visionetics Institute will be offering personal planning for health optimization, including meal plans, cognitive behavioral therapy, psycho-cybernetic interventions, and more.

  • A personal nutritional evaluation ($129.95 value)
  • A nutritional plan ($229.00 value)
  • A personalized plan to help meet your 90-day goals ($499 value)

The Night I Almost Died: Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms of a Heart Attack

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of a heart attack can be the difference between living and dying. Many of you follow me on one of the multitudinous platforms from which I disseminate all of the information and knowledge I believe to valuable and essential to the lives of people.  And, you most likely already know that I experienced multiple heart attacks last week — culminating in two major heart attacks last Saturday and this past Monday.

The scariest thing about this experience for me is how many times I dismissed what I was experiencing as something other than a myocardial infarction (heart attack). Each time I experienced the pain and discomfort last week, I dismissed it as a workout injury from a chess workout I did last Monday. I have trained to recognize the sign of a heart attack for the safety of my fitness clients. So, at least a part of the reason I missed was just plain denial.

I want to ensure that everyone knows the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and how to respond to the first sign. Rapid response is integral to achieving a positive outcome during a heart attack.

What Is A Heart Attack?

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is interrupted due to the presence of a blockage. The blockage (primarily in the coronary arteries) is usually the result of the buildup of cholesterol, fat, and other substances that form plaque in the arteries. When plaque builds up, it will eventually break off and form a clot. Additionally, plaque can become so thick that the artery passageway will simply become increasingly narrow.

Heart attacks can be fatal; however, the advancement in treatment and responses has reduced the mortality rate associated with heart attacks. The first few moments are crucial.

Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms of a Heart Attack

Symptoms

It is essential to understand that people respond to heart attacks; differently, not all of the symptoms may manifest during an episode. I have heard some people say that they felt very little pain, whereas my pain was intense.

Common heart attack signs and symptoms include:

  • Pressure, tightness, pain, or a squeezing or aching sensation in your chest or arms that may spread to your neck, jaw or back
  • Nausea, indigestion, heartburn or abdominal pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Cold sweat
  • Fatigue
  • Lightheadedness or sudden dizziness

It is possible to experience a heart attack without developing any of the symptoms listed; however, the more of the common signs that you experience, the more likely you are experiencing a heart attack.

While some heart attacks have a rapid, sudden onset, people often experience symptoms for hours, days, or even weeks. Remember, the longer you delay getting treatment, the higher the risk of long-term damage or even death. It is always better to error on the side of caution that to ignore potential life-threatening signs.

When To See the Doctor

It is vital to take immediate action when you experience any signs that you may be having a heart attack. Don’t hesitate; get to an emergency room or physician’s office immediately.

  • Call for emergency medical help. If you suspect that you’re having a heart attack, don’t hesitate. Immediately call 911 or your local emergency number. If you don’t have access to emergency medical services, have someone drive you to the nearest hospital.
  • Drive yourself only if there are no other options. Because your condition can worsen, driving yourself puts you and others at risk.
  • Take nitroglycerin, if prescribed to you by a doctor. Take it as instructed while awaiting emergency help.
  • Take aspirin, if recommended. Taking aspirin during a heart attack could reduce heart damage by helping to keep your blood from clotting.
  • Aspirin can interact with other medications; however, so don’t take an aspirin unless your doctor or emergency medical personnel recommend it. Don’t delay calling 911 to take an aspirin. Call for emergency help first.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and it is one of the leading causes of long-term and permanent disability. Fortunately, there are a plethora of ways to reduce the risks of experiencing a heart attack, including:

What are the heart disease risk factors that I cannot change?

  • Age. Your risk of heart disease increases as you get older. Men who are age 45 and older and women age 55 and older have a higher risk.
  • Gender. Some risk factors may affect heart disease risk differently in women than in men. For example, estrogen provides women some protection against heart disease, but diabetes raises the risk of heart disease more in women than in men.
  • Race or ethnicity. Certain groups have higher risks than others. African Americans are more likely than whites to have heart disease, while Hispanic Americans are less likely to have it. Some Asian groups, such as East Asians, have lower rates, but South Asians have higher rates.
  • Family history. You have a greater risk if you have a close family member who had heart disease at an early age.

What can I do to lower my risk of heart disease?

Fortunately, there are many things you can do to reduce your chances of getting heart disease:

  • Control your blood pressure. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease. It is important to get your blood pressure checked regularly – at least once a year for most adults, and more often if you have high blood pressure. Take steps, including lifestyle changes, to prevent or control high blood pressure.
  • Keep your cholesterol and triglyceride levels under control. High levels of cholesterol can clog your arteries and raise your risk of coronary artery disease and heart attack. Lifestyle changes and medicines (if needed) can lower your cholesterol. Triglycerides are another type of fat in the blood. High levels of triglycerides may also raise the risk of coronary artery disease, especially in women.
  • Stay at a healthy weight. Being overweight or having obesity can increase your risk for heart disease. This is mostly because they are linked to other heart disease risk factors, including high blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Controlling your weight can lower these risks.
  • Eat a healthy diet. Try to limit saturated fats, foods high in sodium, and added sugars. Eat plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. The DASH diet is an example of an eating plan that can help you to lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, two things that can lower your risk of heart disease.
  • Get regular exercise. Exercise has many benefits, including strengthening your heart and improving your circulation. It can also help you maintain a healthy weight and lower cholesterol and blood pressure. All of these can reduce your risk of heart disease.
  • Limit alcohol. Drinking too much alcohol can raise your blood pressure. It also adds extra calories, which may cause weight gain. Both of those increase your risk of heart disease. Men should have no more than two alcoholic drinks per day, and women should not have more than one.
  • Don’t smoke. Cigarette smoking raises your blood pressure and puts you at higher risk for heart attack and stroke. If you do not smoke, do not start. If you do smoke, quitting will lower your risk of heart disease. You can talk with your health care provider for help in finding the best way for you to stop.
  • Manage stress. Stress is linked to heart disease in many ways. It can raise your blood pressure. Extreme stress can be a “trigger” for a heart attack. Also, some common forms of coping with stress, such as overeating, heavy drinking, and smoking, are bad for your heart. Some ways to help manage your stress include exercise, listening to music, focusing on something calm or peaceful, and meditating.
  • Manage diabetes. Having diabetes doubles your risk of diabetic heart disease. That is because, over time, high blood sugar from diabetes can damage your blood vessels and the nerves that control your heart and blood vessels. So, it is crucial to get tested for diabetes, and if you have it, keep it under control.
  • Make sure that you get enough sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep, you raise your risk of high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. Those three things can increase your risk of heart disease. Most adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. Make sure that you have good sleep habits. If you have frequent sleep problems, contact your health care provider. One problem, sleep apnea, causes people to stop breathing (briefly) many times during sleep abruptly. These interruptions interfere with your ability to get a good rest and can raise your risk of heart disease. If you think you might have it, ask your doctor about having a sleep study. And if you do have sleep apnea, make sure that you get treatment for it.

Conclusion

While there are certain factors that you have no control over, such as age and genetic predisposition, most of the factors that influence your risk of experiencing a heart attack are within your control. It is your responsibility to invest in yourself by being more active and choosing healthy eating habits. Remember, the more stress you place on your heart, the higher the risk of you having a heart attack.

The purpose of this article is two-fold: 1. To help you know and recognize the signs of a heart attack to give you or a loved one a head start to getting treatment in the case of a heart attack. 2. To encourage you to adopt a lifestyle that will lower your risk of having a heart attack in the first place. The question is, “what will you do with this information?” The choice is yours. ~ Rick Wallace, Ph.D., Psy.D.

Vanessa Bryant Posts First Statement Since Deaths Of Kobe Bryant And Daughter Gianna

Vanessa Bryant Posts First Statement Since Deaths Of Kobe Bryant And Daughter Gianna ~ Giving a powerful, heartfelt tribute to her husband and daughter, as well as recognizing the others who lost their lives in that crash.

The widow of the legendary Lakers player broke her silence to thank “the millions of people who’ve shown support and love during this horrific time.”

In Vanessa Bryant’s first public remarks since the deaths of her husband, NBA legend Kobe Bryant, and their 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, she thanked everyone for showering her and her family with support “during this horrific time.”

“There aren’t enough words to describe our pain right now,” Bryant wrote in an Instagram post Wednesday evening, paired with a photo of her family. “I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved.”Last chance to become a HuffPost founding member!Sign up for membership to become a founding member and help shape HuffPost’s next chapterBecome a founding member

“We were so incredibly blessed to have them in our lives. I wish they were here with us forever. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon,” she went on. “I’m not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it’s impossible to imagine life without them.”

Kobe and Gianna Bryant died unexpectedly when a helicopter they were in crashed in Calabasas, California, on Sunday, sending shock waves through Los Angeles and the sports community. Seven other people in the aircraft also died.

In her tribute, Vanessa Bryant paid her respects to the other victims of the crash. “We are also devastated for the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday, and we share in their grief intimately,” she wrote.

Kobe, a former player for the Los Angeles Lakers and a father of four girls, was 41. He and his wife had been married for 18 years.

Earlier Wednesday, Vanessa Bryant had updated her Instagram profile with a photo of Kobe and Gianna holding each other in a loving embrace.

Like her father, Gianna was a dedicated basketball player. Kobe coached his daughter’s team and shared videos and photos of Gianna playing ball on his own Instagram account.

Kobe told the Los Angeles Times last year that Gianna was “hell-bent” on playing for the University of Connecticut and, eventually, the WNBA.

Vanessa Bryant asked the public to grant her and her family “the respect and privacy we will need to navigate this new reality.”

Hours after Vanessa Bryant shared her post, the Los Angeles Lakers released a statement about the devastating loss, sending their love to their former player’s wife and surviving children, Natalia, 17; Bianka, 3; and Capri, 8 months, as well as the families of the other passengers on the helicopter.

The team had not commented on the death except for a brief statement Monday, when they acknowledged the tragedy and announced that Tuesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers would be postponed.

“Words cannot express what Kobe means to the Los Angeles Lakers, our fans, and our city. More than a basketball player, he was a beloved father, husband, and teammate. Their love and light will remain in our hearts forever,” read a message on the Los Angeles Lakers’ Twitter account Tuesday.

Echoing Vanessa Bryant, the team called for donations to the other families affected by the accident and highlighted Kobe Bryant’s legacy through youth sports at his Mamba Sports Foundation.

This article has been updated to include a statement from the Los Angeles Lakers.

Remembering Your Future ~ The Ability to Create Future Memories

Remembering your future is a revolutionary act that will change your life forever. You are probably looking at the title and thinking that has to be some kind of mistake, right? Nope, it is not a mistake. It is one of the most powerful tools for life change there is. Our brains and our minds are remarkably powerful beyond normal comprehension. The brain is the most powerful supercomputer on the planet. Like any other computer, what your brain is able to do will depend heavily on the programs you download.

Unfortunately, most people are operating on outdated systems and erroneous programs based on faulty paradigms. In other words, most people download their environment from birth to around seven years of age. This is done through a conscious state of theta, which is very susceptible to suggestion. This is where norms and standards (human conscience) are established. It is also where a person’s expectations about life are formed.

For instance, a person who grows up in poverty will likely download ideas about money that will not be conducive to building wealth. This will be true in any other area of life as well. So, how does someone who has a history of poor thinking and behavior in a specific area, overcome that thinking to create the necessary changes in their life? Simply put, they will have to stop consulting the past and start remembering the future.

It is actually quite simple. If you have a past in which you have done none of the things that you desire to do, you cannot consult your past as to whether what you desire to do is possible or to determine how it should be done. The brain can either be a record of the past or a map of the future. Most people consult past records known has memories to help predict their future. This is actually a very accurate tool for predicting the future. If you continue to consult the past, you will continue to get what you have gotten in the past.

What you have to do is use your imagination to create a different outcome. You must start to create new memories, not of the past but of your future reality. You see, that your imagination is so powerful that it can conjure up realities that can literally stimulate your emotions as if it is actually happening. The human brain and mind cannot distinguish between what is being imagined and what is really happening, so when you imagine a different reality, and you work to create clarity what you are visualizing, the mind and body will respond to it as if it is really happening. You have literally created an experience in the future. If you have created an experience, there is now a memory of that experience.

This is how you remember your future. You create the desired results through your imagination and you consistently live in them until they become real. The more that you do this the more your subconscious will act based on the new data that has been downloaded. So, what are you waiting for? Start creating future memories.

3 Power Steps to Overcoming Anxiety ~ Reclaiming Your Life One Step At a Time

First, it is important to understand that everyone experiences anxiety from time to time, but chronic anxiety that is uncontrollable can severely damage your quality of life. When most people think of anxiety, they think about the manner in which it impacts behavior, but what you should know is that anxiety can also have an adverse impact on your physical health as well.

Enter for a chance to win an iPhone 11 !

What Is Anxiety?

Before we get to the part where we discuss the steps that will help you overcome anxiety, it is probably a good idea to gain at least a limited perspicacity of what anxiety is. Basically, anxiety is a physiological response to stress that creates a feeling of fear and apprehension about something that you believe is about to happen. This is actually a good thing when a person is following you on a dark sidewalk at night, but when it becomes uncontrollable and irrational, it can wreak havoc on your life.

If you have been struggling with anxiety for more than six months or you have frequent prolonged episodes, there is a good chance that you are struggling with an anxiety disorder. More on this later. Sometimes a major life event can trigger a stress response that leads to anxiety. For instance, when my wife lost her mother a few years ago, the anticipation of living her life without her mother and all that entails triggered an anxiety episode. While this episode was not a result of an anxiety disorder, it had the potential of emotionally and socially paralyzing her. Fortunately, she decided to confront it instead of just coping and she was able to overcome it.

Some Common Effects of Anxiety

The longer someone suffers from anxiety, the greater the psychological, emotional, and physical implications. Below you will find some of the common effects of anxiety, which can become more intense with time.

  • A sense of doom — Anxiety often causes frequent feelings of impending doom. It is possible that you will also have trouble concentrating
  • Panic attacks — These panic attacks can be so severe that they create physiological symptoms, including heart palpitations, chest pain, and lightheadedness.
  • Depression — Chronic anxiety (prolonged or endless bouts with anxiety) can put you at a higher risk of depression. Symptoms include social withdrawal, loss of interest in activities you once loved, and feelings of guilt and hopelessness
  • Headaches — Constant worry and stress often lead to headaches
  • Breathing problems — Anxiety can cause rapid, shallow breathing and which intensify during a panic attack
  • Loss of libido — Decreasing sexual desire
  • Extreme fatigue — Dealing with anxiety can leave you feeling wiped out and drained (emotionally and physically)
  • Increase in Blood Pressure — It is common to experience a rise in blood pressure readings during an anxiety attack.
  • Pounding heart — The increase in heart rate and intensity. You can feel like your heart is about to jump out of your body.

This list of symptoms is by no means comprehensive, but it gives you an idea of how intrusive and pervasive anxiety can be.

3 Powerful Steps to Overcoming Anxiety

It is important to understand that while the following steps can be very effective for overcoming anxiety, they are not a substitute for professional intervention for serious anxiety disorders. There is absolutely nothing wrong with seeking professional help to assist you in getting your anxiety under control.

Here are three powerful steps that you can take to help reduce or even totally alleviate uncontrollable anxiety.

  1. Stop censoring what you are about to say or do in an attempt to make other people comfortable. When you censor your words or behavior to protect others, you can often put yourself in harm’s way. This is not a suggestion to be rude or inconsiderate. It is a challenge, to be honest, and forthcoming about how you feel at any given time. The proclivity to internalize things can lead to anxiety. Speaking honestly and boldly about your truth will also help build confidence, which can help you deal with anxiety.
  2. Practice spending time with people who treat you well. We have a tendency to associate with people who confirm how we feel about ourselves. This can be a poor practice during times we are struggling in the area of self-confidence. When you hang around people who treat us well, it can change how you feel about yourself, your circumstances, and future outcomes.
  3. Treat yourself the way you treat someone you love. Love is a force that must begin within. Without self-love, you can never fully experience love in its totality. As you begin to treat yourself like you love yourself, there will be an emotional shift that will completely change how you view the world around you. All of a sudden, things that seemed so significant and threatening won’t scare you as easily. You will see your ability to handle what comes at you.

Uncontrolled anxiety has serious implications, but the good news is that you are not helpless. You can do something to overcome your bouts with anxiety and live a very productive and fulfilling life.

Internalized Communication: The Collaboration between You and Your Mind

The Collaboration between You and Your Mind

The Collaboration between You and Your Mind

I absolutely love the work I do with my clients and I have spent years mastering the disciplines that allow me to be so effective in doing what I do. Because I have mastered multiple disciplines such as psychology, neurolinguistic programming, neuro-associative conditioning, psycho-cybernetics, embodied cognition, cognitive behavioral therapy, and quantum dynamics, some postulate that the complexity of the brain makes it very difficult to change how the brain operates for a particular individual.

The fact that people depend on me to help them change and improve their lives has driven me to be the best that I can be. Yes, the brain and mind are very complicated; however, you don’t have to master all of the aforementioned disciplines in order to get the most out of your brain and mind. The truth is that the life you are living is the product of the collaboration between you and your mind. If you are not getting the results that you desire, it is because you are not effectively collaborating with your mind.

The Collaboration between You and Your Mind

Success in life is about effective collaboration on multiple levels. Despite the rise of a culture that emphasizes individualism, the greatest work is accomplished through collaboration. We are mammals — social creatures by nature — demanding collaboration. It is my argument that the most important collaboration that will ever take place is the collaboration between you and your mind. The beautiful thing about collaborating with your mind is that you don’t have to master its complexity to be effective. The brain and mind are designed to respond to you based on what it interprets in best for you. In other words, the brain and mind are always acting in what they believe to be in your best interest.

The thing is to not focus on the complicated composition of the human mind but the simplicity of its functionality. The force of function of the human mind can be broken down into four simple functional principles. When you understand these principles and how they work, you will be able to take control of your life in ways you have never imagined. Here are the four functional principles:

  1. Your mind always does what it thinks you would want it to do — that which it believes is in your best interest.
  2. Your mind  is hardwired to move you toward pleasure and away from pain
  3. The totality of how you feel about life and the world around you is broken down into two parts: 1. The pictures you create in your mind 2. The words you say to yourself (your self-talk)
  4. Your mind loves that which is familiar

Your Mind Works In Your Best Interest

You  are probably thinking, “if my mind is working in my best interest, why are things going so horribly wrong?” What you have to understand is that humans are not born with norms and standards implanted in their minds. Norms and standards establish what is right and wrong, good or bad, and effective or ineffective. These norms and standards for human conscience and play an immense role in governing decision-making and behavior. Your mind is neutral in the assessment of stimuli until you give it what it needs to determine how it perceives something.

If you are not getting the results that you want in your life it is because you are not properly and effectively collaborating with your mind.

Your brain and mind are highly attentive to your self-talk and the language you use to describe situations and circumstances. If there is something that you know you need to do to improve your situation, but you are constantly saying things like, “I hate this, this is killing me, this sucks, etc., you are training your brain that this particular exercise is not good for you and your mind will come up with all types of reasons and motivations not to do it. These motivations will emerge from the subconscious, which controls 96 percent of your daily behavior. You will be sabotaging yourself and not even be aware of it.

It has been said that your brain is the most powerful supercomputer on the planet and your self-talk is the program it will run. You need to form positive speech and positive thoughts about the actions that are necessary for your improvement. Make personal declarations that are positive like “I will do…, I am doing… I have chosen to…, I enjoy doing…, I am exceptional at doing… etc. Your mind will, in turn, assess these new actions as being in your best interest and something that you enjoy doing (pleasure).

Hardwired for Pleasure

Your brain is hardwired to move you toward pleasure and as far away from pain as possible. What this means is that complaining about something destroys the collaboration between you and your mind in that area. One of the reasons that you procrastinate so much is because you have linked many of your progressive steps to pain. When you link anything to pain, your mind will instinctively and inherently find ways to move you away from that thing. The beautiful thing about pain is that it is a concept that each individual defines for themselves.

Think about it for a second. There are some people who seemingly have immensely high pain thresholds while others can’t seem to take even the slightest pain. The marathon runner has redefined pleasure to include the mental, emotional, and physical pain that takes place over the course of the 26.2-mile run. The weight-lifter associates the burn during the lifting session with growth and improvements in strength.

This is all neuro-associative conditioning is — associating things you want to do with pleasure and things you don’t want to do with pain.

Images & Words

It is really this simple when you break it down. The way you feel about life and the world around you is determined by only two things, the images you create in your mind and the words you say to yourself (your self-talk). The term “vision” has become ambiguous because of the casual nature in which it is used; however, your ability to visualize the life you want and the images that emerge from this vision play a massive role in setting the course of your life.

The words you use establish the context in which every situation will be engaged. If you are saying things such as I dread going to the gym, this workout is going to kill me, creating this presentation is going to make me miserable, etc. you are creating an environment in which the mind is going to work against the ultimate goal of accomplishment, because yourself talk told it that would be in your best interest. Your mind does not seek to lead you into dread or make you miserable. So when you declare that something will make you miserable, sad, or disgusted, your mind will find every reason imaginable not to do it.

Using a phrase as simple as, “I have chosen to do this, and I will enjoy doing it” will prove absolutely transformational. This is not simply positive thinking, it is the foundation of optimal collaboration between you and your mind. The fact that you have chosen something means that it was not thrust upon you without your consent (there is an inherent and natural disdain for being forced to do things we don’t want to do). The fact that you are declaring that you will enjoy doing it triggers the pleasure center of the brain which now causes the mind to move you toward it instead of away from it.

It is really simple. If you examine your life and you are not getting what you want, it is because you are not communicating properly with your mind.

It is through these images and words that you will either rationalize failure or talk yourself out of it.

The Mind Loves the Familiar

Much of the discomfort that you will experience during the process of change and growth is because the mind is not familiar with the new processes that are being introduced into your normal routine. It is important to understand that the mind experiences things and expresses itself in multitudinous ways that extend beyond abstract or arbitrary thought. Even your body responds to your mind. Your heart rate can increase or decrease based on your mind. Your sweat glands can be triggered to go into hyperdrive. So, that uncomfortable feeling you get when you are trying something new that makes you say, “this doesn’t feel right” is actually your mind saying this is not familiar.

Because the mind loves the familiar, you will need to learn how to make what is familiar unfamiliar and what is unfamiliar familiar. I know it sounds crazy, but it is simply a shift in your state of mind and perception. With me, I have actually trained my mind to be most comfortable in uncomfortable (unfamiliar) situations. It means that I am exploring new things and growing. It means that I am not being stagnant and complacent.

Conclusion

Remember, your mind wants to act in your best interest. It is your responsibility to effectively communicate to your mind what is in your best interest in terms that provide the proper context for the actions that you will need to take. Simply knowing that you need to do something will not be sufficient for effective collaboration with your mind. You need to frame the required action in a manner that the mind interprets it as being in your best interest and bringing you pleasure. Going to the gym four days out of the week is obviously good for you, but if you dread it, the mind will see it as something to avoid (pain) and it can create an infinite number of excuses not to do it. Many illnesses that people experience are produced psychosomatically through the mind as a means of avoiding something the mind deems detrimental to your pleasure and peace.

Find ways to link what you want and need to a state of pleasure. The mind will naturally move you toward what is perceived as pleasurable. The more pleasure that is detected, the harder the mind will work to move you toward it. If you are not getting what you want out of life, it is because you need to do a better job of collaborating with your mind.

Rare “Black” New Super Moon

Rare "Black" New Super Moon

The End of Mercury Retrograde

Rare “Black” new super moon represents endless possibilities. On July 31st, there will be an extremely powerful and potent New Super Moon in Leo, bringing with it an energetic emotional storm that is set to stay for the next two months.

All zodiac signs will be affected by this lunar energy, but in particular, those born with Leo in their chart will feel impacted.

This Super Moon is classed as a “black” moon as it is the second New Moon of July.

The reason for the energy being so intense is that this super moon is the first in a series of three new moon super moons, with the second in August—and the third, which will be the completion of this intense energy portal, taking place on September 28th.

Cosmically, everything happens in sequences, and we have just stepped into one of these sequences—known as a super moon triad.

Unlike regular new moons—in which the energy lasts for a few days—the highly charged, intense, life-altering energy of this trio will be felt consistently throughout this two-month period. Those who are highly sensitive to energy will already have sensed the intensity in the atmosphere.

A super moon occurs when the moon’s orbit is closest to the earth, resulting in the moon being approximately 14 percent closer than normal, around 30 percent brighter, and appearing far bigger in the sky. The moon is known to wreak havoc with Mother Nature, resulting in landslides, higher tides, and earthquakes—and these are often more severe when the moon is at its fullest. When we think about how the moon’s gravity affects the tides, it is easy to see how it also interacts with living creatures.

The gravitational and magnetic push and pull of a super moon can feel like an immense energetic onslaught and causes us to feel emotionally fragile at times; however, if we do not allow the energy to overwhelm and overpower us, it can help us learn some of our most difficult life lessons.

This is most certainly the time to get rid of any habits, patterns, thoughts, obsessions, commitments, dynamics or material items that have been weighing us down and keeping us stuck in a reality that is neither healthy or serving us. Anything that no longer resonates with who we are and how we want to be living will start to dissipate before our eyes.

We will be cutting ourselves free from the low-frequency entities that we have become attached to and burning through old paradigms, as well as setting alight a crumbling bridge or two in the process.

This leaves a gateway for those who reflect the same passion and desire to exist free from chaos, harm, and destruction—and for kindred souls who share a similar passion for co-existing harmoniously and lovingly on this planet to enter our lives.

During this period, we will have a low tolerance for people who are only around to create dysfunction—or to continuously take, with no effort to mutually maintain and build the relationship. Those whose energy radiates with authenticity, integrity, and sincerity are the ones we will feel magnetically pulled toward, and we will discover that as we refuse to settle for less, people with pure intentions will flow our way.

This next chapter is intensely powerful for manifesting exactly what it is we want, where we want to be, and who we hope will surround us.

We will likely be feeling nostalgic due to the accumulation of emotional cosmic energy, so we may find ourselves looking back at our past in an attempt to find answers. This might look like ruminating on why certain relationships ended or why we are struggling to let go of relationships that are shrouded in heartache.

Fortunately, our intuition is at an all-time high during this new moon, so it’s the perfect time to go within and listen carefully to our inner voice. We have an incredible amount of knowledge and wisdom inside us; we just need to silence the doubt and fear and trust that whatever we wish to know, we will find.

Those who are highly sensitive to energy will be far more susceptible to the impact of these celestial events and may feel overwhelmed at times due to the constant influx of emotional energy.

To combat this, it is important to process emotions or old feelings that come up and regularly discern whether the emotions we feel are our own or whether they belong to those around us. If we are absorbing other people’s emotional energy, we could find ourselves easily triggered and far more irritable, fatigued, and moody than usual—so it is important to regularly take time out to re-balance and ground ourselves.

This is an intense phase that will cleanse anything that feels toxic in our lives, which includes bad habits, unhealthy thought patterns, reactive behaviors, outdated beliefs, and irrational fear-based thoughts and feelings that drain our energy and leave us feeling anxious and burnt out.

10 Steps to Improving Your Memory and Boost Your Brain Power

Your brain is the most powerful supercomputer on the planet. It has the ability to process four billion bits of information per second and store unlimited memories in multiple categories. One of the fascinating functions of the brain is recollection. Your brain can store and recall information in a fraction of a second; however, over time, you can lose your ability to easily recall things that you have experienced through some form of sensory perception. I am sure that you know someone who seems to be able to remember even the most mundane of details effortlessly. Since memory is a huge part of learning, this same person seems to pick up new skills and appropriate the knowledge easily.

The truth is that we all have the capacity to use our brains in the same way. Unfortunately, many have not optimized their brain functions, and there are many ways to do this. To access and actualize the full capacity of your brain, it is important to keep it active and acutely tuned. Sitting still on your sofa while watching the same programming on television every day is not going to get you the results you are seeking.

Following are 10 steps that you can take that will help improve your memory and give your overall brain power a huge boost.

  • Exercise More (Get Your Body Moving)

There is a wealth of empirical and pragmatic evidence that a sedentary lifestyle contributes to the deterioration of the brain. It has been proven that obesity has a direct negative impact on brain function. Since blood flow is essential to the brain, it is important to keep your heart healthy and your arteries clear. The lack of exercise allows plaque to build up in the arteries, and it also reduces the efficiency of each heartbeat.

In addition to oxygen, your blood also delivers nutrients to the brain (more on this later).

  • Consume Good Brain Food

It should go without saying, but you would be surprised how many people fail to make the connection between brain functionality and nutritional intake. There are lots of foods that are great for brain health. Following are 10 powerful brain foods that can easily be integrated into your daily diet.

  • Dark chocolate (with at least 85 percent cocoa)
  • Kale
  • Green tea
  • Garbanzo beans
  • Red wine
  • Fish with omega-3 fatty acids (mackerel, lake trout, herring, wild salmon, etc.)
  • Walnuts
  • Berries (blackberry, blueberry, cranberry, raspberry, strawberry, etc.)
  • Tumeric (make sure that it is in a bioavailable form)
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Brain Nutrients

Because of the Brobdingnagian responsibility the brain undertakes, it is not surprising that it has a high demand for nutrients. Without a sufficient supply of brain nutrients, your cognitive and mental health will suffer. However, certain nutritional deficiencies are common, especially in certain geographical locations. Your brain needs an ample supply of micronutrients — namely, protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. While there is no shortage of carbohydrates in the average American diet, the deficiency arises because mostly simply carbs are being consumed. The brain and the body work better with complex carbohydrates that metabolize and break down slowly. Complex carbohydrates will give your brain the sustained energy it needs to perform at high levels.

Starchy vegetables such as yams, winter squash, beets, carrots, and potatoes are excellent sources of complex carbs.

Protein is synthesized and broken down into amino acids — a major component in hundreds of chemicals in the brain known as neurotransmitters — allowing brain cells to communicate with one another.

  • Positive Peer Group

I constantly remind my clients of the importance of guarding their periphery. Those in your circle influence your reality. There is an adage that states that you will be the average of the five people you spend the most time around. I was always taught that “association” brings about assimilation. We have what is known as mirror neurons that cause us to emulate and mirror what we observe in others. If you are around someone long enough, you will begin to behave like them in multiple ways. Negative ideas, thoughts, and behaviors can have a negative impact on the health of your brain.

  • Killing ANTS (automatic negative thoughts)

Many people rehearse negatively through their habitual thought patterns. I’m sure that you have seen people behave as if it is compulsory that they entertain negative thoughts. The need to entertain negative thoughts has become automatic. These negative thoughts have a negative impact on the health of your brain. Negative thoughts release negative chemicals that are destructive to brain health.

  • Adequate Sleep

Getting enough sleep is so undervalued in today’s culture. You constantly here success guru’s talking about getting up at 3:00 a.m. and about the importance of being on the grind. Don’t get me wrong; I definitely believe in putting in the work and optimizing your time. There are 86,400 seconds in a day and believe that each one of them has a purpose. However, you can’t adequately take advantage of the opportunities presenting throughout the day without adequate rest.

As you go through your day, your brain exerts a lot of energy — building up plaque in your brain. Sleep is the time that the brain cleans itself and heals itself. Sleep deprivation is one of the most destructive forces that impact your brain health.

  • Clean Environment

Some studies have shown that having a neat work environment supports better brain functions. But a clean environment constitutes more than just a neat working area. It includes healthy foods, clean drinking water, and clean air.

  • Stress Management

When you experience a moment of stress, the body release stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream. While these chemicals can be helpful in certain stressful situations, like avoiding an accident or defending yourself against an attacker, the longer they remain in your bloodstream, the more destructive they become. Chronic stress is extremely harmful, and you have to find ways to manage your stress if you want to get the most out of your brain.

  • Brain Protection

Learn how you can achieve holistic health and healing at Master Fitness 21!

When you see brain protection, the obvious would be wearing a helmet when riding a bike or motorcycle, but there are so many other ways that you can physically damage your brain in the era of technology. The electromagnetic fields created by smartphones and tablets can cause harm to the brain. When reading studies that report that nearly 80 percent of teens sleep with their cells phones under their pillows, I cringe.

  • New Learning and Discovery

A very powerful tool for improving your memory and brain performance is to focus on learning new things every day. There was a time in which science believed that after age five, our brains were pretty much wired the way they would remain for life. Science also believed that once brain cells were destroyed, they could not be replaced. We are now aware of neurogenesis, the growth, and development of nerve tissue and cells in the brain. Additionally, we are also aware of neuroplasticity — the ability of the brain to form and reorganize new synaptic connection, especially in response to learning or experiencing some new.

Attempting to integrate all 10 of these tips at once may prove a bit daunting for you. Try adopting one or two of them a week or bi-weekly. Adopting just one will produce noticeable results. The majority of Americans are not even close to optimizing their brain function, which is a shame. You can start today and experience life at an entirely different level.


Why Ms. Independent Can’t Seem to Find Mr. Right

Why Ms. Independent Can’t Seem to Find Mr. Right

Fist, allow me to clarify upfront that this is not an attack on independent women. This short treatise is meant to be a legitimate eye-opening process that will illuminate real challenges that independent women face based on cultural paradigms and erroneous expectations. When you examine social culture from a historical perspective, it appears that women are supposed to sit around and wait on some man to discover them.

Critical Mass: The Phenomenon of Next-Level Living

Even the Bible says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” (Proverbs (18:22)

If you only observed things on the surface, it would seem that women have historically played an insignificant role in attracting and gaining the attention of the type of man that they want; however, that could not be further from the truth.

If we were to stick with the Bible analogy, we would find that Ruth (the only woman directly declared to be virtuous in the Bible) made her presence known to Boaz by going into his quarters and sleeping at his feet. We know that this was not an isolated event because she was advised by Naomi to do it — indicating that it was a common practice.

Okay, let’s move up to the current time to examine why Ms. Independent can’t seem to find Mr. Right. First of all, most women who are on their grind are doing very little to ensure that they are found. They are so immersed in their careers and passion that they have reserved very little time to engage in the social side of life.

Like any other endeavor in life, finding a compatible mate is a proactive process. There is a false notion that women are not supposed to present themselves to men. While I agree that most men want to be in the position of pursuing rather than being pursued, there is absolutely nothing wrong with subtly throwing your hat into the ring.

There is nothing wrong with a little respectful flirting. First, it ensures that the man knows that you are there, and it also sends him a message that you are interested in him. I am not proposing that you become overly suggestive in a sexual manner or that you become too aggressive. Simply make your presence and intent known.

For instance, my wife initiated our relationship by simply introducing herself and letting me know that she was impressed with the work I do. She did not overextend herself nor overexpose herself. Yet, I knew that she was interested. Her energy was inviting as well.

Here is something that you have to understand. There is a growing perception that women are less approachable than at any time in the past. Professional women are often engaged in their quest for upward mobility in their field. I have heard men say she is beautiful but she has resting “bitch” face. For those of you who don’t know what resting bitch face is, it is an unintentional facial expression made by women in which they unknowingly give the impression that they are irritated, annoyed, contemptuous, or angry — especially when the individual is relaxed.

What I have found is that a lot of women are used to being approached by the guy Annie White refers to as Larry Lame. You know, the guy who is highly aggressive, presumptuous, and rude. He has no subtlety in his approach and he has been conditioned to believe that “no” simply means keep trying. Larry Lame brings nothing of value to the table and most women of value and virtue find him repulsive. The anticipation of being approached by Larry Lame is one precursor to resting bitch face.

Allow me a brief moment of digression here. There is a common misconception that men are intimidated by successful independent women. That postulation could not be further for the truth for holistically developed men. In fact, men who are confident in themselves and aware of what they bring to the table are absolutely turned on by an independent woman. Here is what does turn off a good man — a woman who says she does not need a man. With the exception of being respected, there is nothing a good man wants more than to be needed. Being needed to a man is far more valuable than being wanted and being respected is far more wholesome than even being loved.

It is imperative that you understand that the needs of men and women are distinctively different. If you want Gary the good guy (Annie White) to approach, you have to guide him in. There has never been a time with as much noise and activity standing between men and women as it is now. You have to remove the noise.

First, you must develop the confidence to flirt without being obnoxiously flirty. You also have to be careful of the message that you are sending. You need to allow your energy and your behavior to reflect the fact that you are looking for a husband and not a hookup.

Additionally, it is important to understand that how you engage and date a man sets the boundaries and expectations for the relationship. When you approach a man first, it sends a message that you are willing to get out and meet men. Why is this important, it is important because if a man knows that the last thing in the world you want to do is get out and meet men and go through the dating process, he also knows that you are more likely to put up with his crap to keep from starting over.

The more socially astute you appear, the more likely he is to understand how fortunate he is to be the one that you chose. Just by you approaching him first, he will perceive you as outgoing. I keep using Annie White because when I was researching extant data on the topic her explanation and philosophy was simplistic yet direct. Plus, she had used this approach to secure her own relationship.

The concept is simple — instead of waiting to be chosen, you choose and let him chase. You have a right to participate in the process of determining a life partner. Men pursue naturally, it is your job to point him in the right direction.

Following is a three-step process that has proven to be highly effective in not only gaining the interest of men but effortlessly advancing the process.

Step One: Question

No matter where you are, you can come up with a question to ask a man that initiates the process. If you are on the supplement aisle in the grocery store, ask him a question about what supplements he would suggest for what you are trying to accomplish. Even if he does not know the answer, you have opened up the dialogue. Just don’t make him feel stupid for not knowing the answer.

Step Two: Introduction

After a few exchanges in the dialogue, stop and introduce yourself. You can keep it simple, by simply telling him your name. You don’t want to complicate things too soon.

Step Three: The Exchange

Don’t wait on him to ask for your contact information, give it to him. If you have a business card, that is great, but if not make sure that you give him a way to find you.

Not every man will follow up and that is okay, but at least you are in the game and you know that if they do call, there is at least some level of interest.

Finally, make sure that you are on the right frequency. What I mean by this is that we all emit energy and the frequencies we emit serve to attract people to us. If you are still discovering who you are, this is not the time to enter into a relationship. If you are still recovering from a failed relationship, it is not the right time to start something new. You want to be your best self because that will play a vital role in attracting the right type of person.

The one thing that I want you to take away from this is that you cannot sit around waiting to be found. Get in the game a participate in the process! ~ Rick Wallace, Ph.D., Psy.D.

Patience in the Midst of Adversity

Patience in the Midst of Adversity

“Do not be deceived: God (The Creator) cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” (Galatians 6:7-8, NIV)


When most people read or hear this they only think about sowing bad seeds, but this is a law with a universal impact that is tied to the law of cause and effect. It applies to both, good and bad seeds.


Some of you have been planting for a while and you have yet to reap your harvest, but trust that the Creator of this universe is batting a thousand and cannot be mocked. Sometimes the gestation period for certain seeds is longer than others. Sometimes it takes time for the harvest to ripen to produce the most profitable and beneficial results.


The problem is that some of you are growing weary in the season of planting.


Let’s take a look at Galatians chapter 6 again…
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Gal. 6:9, NIV)

Sometimes our timing is off because we focus on an external situation and we lose sight of the source. We become frenetic and unglued. However, God in his infinite intelligence has perfect timing. You will reap your harvest if you don’t give up.


One final bible verse:
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work [in you] so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1:2-4)


Let’s take a quick look at the Amplified version:
“2 Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work [in you], so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.”


Endurance, patience, and persistence are virtues that are developed in the fertile soil of adversity. If you believe that God designed and developed you for a purpose, you must also believe that God will never leave nor forsake you.

It is important that you do not confuse patience with complacency. Patience recognizes that there is still work to be done — progress to be made. Patience provides the capacity to trust the process and not give up. Complacency accepts the current situation as a future reality — a very perilous point of view.


You may feel alone and forsaken but you are simply being developed. Trust God’s process for your life. In due time you shall reap a harvest that is in direct correspondence with the seeds that you have sewn. Don’t give up. Don’t quit. Don’t surrender. You are designed and built to win. ~ Rick Wallace, Ph.D., Psy.D.
