I don't remember where I found this, but it is the absolute best thing that I've found on the mindbody connection and humor. Rather than getting overexcited and jumping to conclusions, it surveys the current science, teaching you about the actual studies, so that you can draw your own...

Thanks for sharing your story, bikebum. It's good to know that different things work for different people. For me as well, I stopped seeing gains from journaling and make more progress when I focus on fear and anxiety in the moment. I don't regret the journaling that I did in the slightest, but...

I also got his book and found it and the recordings quite helpful. Digging around in the past never felt like it really helped me. However, Monte's program helped me understand how I create tension every day on a moment to moment basis. The past is so far away, but realizing how I create stress...

I don't think that I ever understood conditioning quite as well as this! I like the three step process for overcoming fear, too.

Thanks for that introduction... you made it very easy to understand. I have a couple of issues that I'd like to try tapping with. I personally prefer therapies with scientific trials demonstrating their effectiveness, but at absolute least, this can't hurt. In fact, I think that the benign and...

Pills may work, but as far as I can tell there is no evidence to suggest that we don't become dependent on them. In other words, it may help at the start, but, after a year or so, you may find that you are dependent on a drug that isn't helping you any more. It is changing your brain chemistry...

I find breath work to be helpful as well. I just do a simple 5 deep breathes when I need to relax. I breathe a bit more slowly than usual, particularly as I exhale. It feels good and it is very quick and simple. I particularly focus on the exhalation because I think I read that it is during the...

From "Meet the Fokkers:" "Ah, lovely. You know, most back pain is psychological. We carry our emotional baggage right here in our muscles." (Streisand to De Niro)

This makes a lot of sense. So I get the idea that it is important to visualize what I want to happen, and that by visualizing, I can make it happen. But how do I know when I am believing it for real? I can try to believe the positive outcome, but how do I know that my unconscious mind isn't...

I saw this on Facebook and loved it's wisdom... Have a great day, everyone!

That's a great message to help us keep focused. It seems like different people have different ideas of what it means to walk the walk. I like to know what works for different people, so when you say that you are going to focus on walking the walk, what are you going to work on? What sort of...

That is reassuring to know. I put a huge amount of pressure on myself as well and it is good to know that I don't always have to be making forward progress. Haha, that's a great story. Teenagers think they know everything.

Wow, it's pretty wild to be replying to a thread where Steve Ozanich posted! I am a huge fan of your book, Steve. So much wisdom in your book! What have you got planned next? Anyway, I agree with everything posted so far. By not avoiding the activities that you love, you send a powerful...
