George Bernard Shaw said “life is not about understanding yourself, life is about creating yourself” and that is the subject of my jam session with Jerome “Romey” Wade.
If you are like most people, at inflection points in your life you want to understand yourself better or understand “why” life might deal you the proverbial shit sandwich. What if life has nothing to do with understanding, but instead about getting crystal clear and specific about the life and things you want to create based on #WhatInspiresMe?
How can you re-invent your life, find yourself again, and create a better life from your higher self? Well, that is exactly what we tackle in this episode. So what ever you do, listen to this entire episode and then share with your friends and family… since this is a topic that impacts everyone.

We all love a good hero’s journey story… in fact the movies and books you love are typically based on this story type, and who doesn’t love a good hero.
You may be afraid to share your authentic story from your heart because you are scared your vulnerability will lead to judgement. But, what if vulnerability is sexy and the only way to connect with others. You are probably afraid they will step back when they see the real you, but what usually happens is people lean in and love you more.
So much good stuff in this episode where we discuss things like: the board of directors in your head, finding a sense of safety and belonging, sharing both your light and dark, understanding your own kryptonite, and how to be your own hero.

I’ve heard an exchange like this about a million, bazillion times (and if English isn’t your first language that means A LOT).
I hear a woman complaining about her curly hair and how she hates it… wishing it were straight, to which the other ladies with straight hair say “I’d give anything to have curly hair like yours.” After all isn’t that’s why they created perms and straightening rods?
I don’t have hair, so I can’t totally relate to the hair issue (that’s one reason I wear hats), but how much of the time do you wish you were more like others… probably because you want to feel safe and want to fit in?
But what if what makes you different is exactly the thing that makes you beautiful, and the thing that this world needs?
I don’t like broccoli. That’s something I know about myself and even though I know how healthy it is for my body, I just can’t get myself to eat it. Do you judge me because I don’t eat broccoli?
I could be like my grandmother who even though she didn’t like coffee, forced herself to like it so she could “fit in” with their friends when they would go to the cafe, but I choose to be who I am.
The world wants you to conform… to be like everyone else.
It’s much easier to rule over and control people that way, and I’m guessing you’d rather not give someone power like that over your life, right?
Maybe you want to conform so you don’t stand out and not risk having people judge or reject you.
I understand. It can be scary to think others may not like or accept you if you don’t conform.
But that is a broken strategy, because whoever you pretend to BE, some people in the world won’t like you. So you might as well BE UNIQUELY YOU.
And when you do, the people who really love and care for you will show their true colors and your life will be full of people you love, and people who love you.
“I’d rather be hated for you I am, than loved for who I am not.” – Kurt Cobain
Regardless of your reason, this world would be a very boring place if everyone were vanilla ice cream. Imagine living in a world with only vanilla ice cream.
I like me some Chunky Monkey, Rocky Road, Mint Chocolate Chip, or Cookies and Cream (to name a few) and I’m guessing you like more than vanilla too.
My wood shop teacher used to say “I’m glad we are all different, or else everyone else would want my wife.” I don’t know why that have stuck with me, probably since it made me laugh at the time and still brings a smile to my face, but there’s a lot of wisdom in that saying.
So if you are trying to BE like everyone else, when are you going to stop?
It takes a lot of effort to pretend, and then it’s accompanies by fear and worry that someone will find out you aren’t who you are pretending to be, and being found out after pretending is much worse that just being unashamedly who you really are.
It takes a lot less effort to just BE YOU.
Imagine if Kurt Cobain tried to fit in?
We wouldn’t have the music from Nirvana. We wouldn’t have a whole genre of music called grudge inspired by bands like Nirvana (who for a brief moment was the biggest band in the world) that changed a generation. We wouldn’t have Dave Grohl… one of my favorite people and musicians of all time who went on to create the Foo Fighters (more on that later).
Imagine if you keep trying to fit in?
What will it cost you to keep pretending?
What will the world be missing out on because you aren’t shining your light and bringing the things that only you can provide to the rest of us?
I for one would rather not know.
And some great advice to end of from someone who wasn’t afraid to be unique:

Transformational Take Away:
Pick something about yourself that is unique, that maybe you are a little embarrassed about.
Pull out a piece of paper and a pen (yes, I know it’s old school) and journal for 5 minutes about why you are embarrassed and why that thing makes you unique and special.
Spend this next week saying to yourself 10 times each day “I like __ because it makes me unique. I love myself, and others love me just the way I am.”
When you finish that exercise, head on over to: https://jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason250/ and listen to “Let Your Freak Flag Fly” (or down below) where I talk a lot more about ice cream and how what makes you unique and different is exactly the reason why people love you.
And for those of you who are Nirvana fans, there’s a little surprise at the end which is the song that took them to the top so fast and moved a whole generation of young adults. Don’t believe me? The video has over 1.4 BILLION views.
Who you are now as a responsible, practical adult may not BE who you are authentically. Maybe you’ve found yourself in some difficult life situations and have fallen off your path down into a dark and cold ravine and want to get back to YOU. Maybe you are struggling and just don’t feel aligned with who you really are #authentic.
Learn how to listen to yourself and follow your heart again when you listen to this #jammingwithjason #podcast episode. Chances are who you were as a child or seeker wants to come out again and that’s why you don’t feel aligned.

4 00:00:20.460 –> 00:00:34.950 Jason Mefford: Bring very interesting people to the podcast and maybe introduce some topics that maybe you weren’t even aware of, and today is going to be one of those we’re probably going to talk about some things that you might be going wow.

8 00:00:56.880 –> 00:01:04.410 Jason Mefford: Because, as you’re listening there’s going to be a name or a face that’s going to pop into your head as you’re listening and go, you know what.
9 00:01:04.770 –> 00:01:12.150 Jason Mefford: Bob or Sally or Joan needs to hear this, too, and please make sure and share that with them as well because chances are.
10 00:01:12.630 –> 00:01:27.360 Jason Mefford: there’s exactly something that they need to hear in today’s episode as well and sharing is caring, my friends, and with that i’m going to quit talking so we can get to the main event which is my guest Glenda Barber so with that let’s roll the episode.
11 00:01:29.670 –> 00:01:32.520 Jason Mefford: hey Glenda how are you doing today my friend.
13 00:01:34.800 –> 00:01:36.420 Glenda Barber: thanks for having me I love you.
14 00:01:37.950 –> 00:01:41.010 Jason Mefford: Too much energy early in the morning jason’s coffee you.
15 00:01:42.780 –> 00:01:56.070 Jason Mefford: know I know i’m you know i’m i’m down here in sunny southern California you’re up North north of the border up in Canada, so I know it’s a little bit little little cooler there right now.
16 00:01:57.120 –> 00:02:04.140 Jason Mefford: than it is down here but i’m excited to have you on because you know some of the stuff that you do is.
17 00:02:05.010 –> 00:02:17.370 Jason Mefford: Important work that people need, but they most people don’t even realize that these things exist and so i’m excited to have you have you here today to talk about this so maybe just.
18 00:02:17.970 –> 00:02:35.520 Jason Mefford: Give give people a quick like one minute of what you do kind of how you help people, and then I want to start asking you some questions about how you got to that point, because I think that’s really the fascinating part is how we get to where we are in life so take her away.
19 00:02:35.940 –> 00:02:38.490 Glenda Barber: Thank you i’m short story.
20 00:02:39.690 –> 00:02:48.900 Glenda Barber: When things weren’t working for me as far as feeling like i’m doing the very best I can do from my own life, I heard a podcast that I knew, you know about.
21 00:02:49.530 –> 00:02:57.180 Glenda Barber: And then the short version was that I was doing self hypnosis and it was very helpful and I learned about it on that podcast.
22 00:02:57.720 –> 00:03:08.160 Glenda Barber: I swept away quickly and learn how to do hypnosis and I wanted to up level even that level to something called five path hypnosis so i’m a master hypnotist.
23 00:03:09.000 –> 00:03:18.720 Glenda Barber: I learned how to receive as well, as you know, facilitate for someone how to do a mind shift, so, in other words, you know if you’re not feeling good enough not loving yourself.
24 00:03:19.290 –> 00:03:25.920 Glenda Barber: Know there’s something in your way you kind of don’t know what it was it kind of boil down to me, once he did the training and show up for people.
25 00:03:26.400 –> 00:03:32.790 Glenda Barber: To provide them with that assistance was I wasn’t listening to myself and I had gotten out of congruence with.
26 00:03:33.660 –> 00:03:46.650 Glenda Barber: An alignment with my soul, you can also refer to it as just your inner knowing and when the two don’t line up you get discombobulated in a better word would be a few irritable discontent Sir make.
27 00:03:47.100 –> 00:03:53.310 Glenda Barber: Choices yeah you know, really, really, you know freaking out for scarcity, you know you got to work harder and struggle and.
28 00:03:53.550 –> 00:03:57.090 Glenda Barber: Do all the things that i’m learning, now that didn’t really serve me at all.
29 00:03:58.230 –> 00:04:07.590 Glenda Barber: And when I really listened also my life life was spot on and gratefully I made my major decisions most times what does that have to do with a hill of beans is.
30 00:04:09.180 –> 00:04:16.950 Glenda Barber: Because I had a benchmark from those times now, when I listened to that podcast he spoke about early on, I found myself again it.
31 00:04:17.790 –> 00:04:32.580 Glenda Barber: Was lovely to be here, I still had some stuff though that behind me was left in congruent for my actions so pulling all that together this master hypnotist I had practice right, and I also got some help with all the help words that.
32 00:04:34.110 –> 00:04:45.840 Glenda Barber: I can save that that’s my journey to being a coach sacred space coach spiritual leader, and when I say LEADER I don’t mean leading have lots of spiritual people as opposed to helping someone.
33 00:04:46.650 –> 00:04:59.130 Glenda Barber: In their leadership energy have or have had of how do you find alignment if somebody didn’t know that if you’re fearful, how do you deal with that, and you don’t know and you’re blocked usually just a matter of like we.
34 00:05:01.050 –> 00:05:11.850 Glenda Barber: Both know she’s sitting still with all of that, and you know, giving it the space to first be heard you know a lot of us don’t want to feel our emotions and emotions are good emotions telling something wrong it’s like.
35 00:05:11.910 –> 00:05:18.150 Jason Mefford: No, but emotion scare the hell out of most people right we don’t want to feel it we numb ourselves, most of the time.
36 00:05:18.780 –> 00:05:30.870 Jason Mefford: I mean it’s it’s it’s interesting i’m we’re finishing up a series called sense eight that the mccaskey is put out in the end there’s they’re they’re very they’re they’re kind of.
37 00:05:32.610 –> 00:05:38.220 Jason Mefford: for lack of a better word, maybe psych psychic people that are that are in this in this series.
38 00:05:38.880 –> 00:05:46.020 Jason Mefford: And, and with them, though there’s these things that they call blockers their pills, that they can take to block out.
39 00:05:46.710 –> 00:05:55.800 Jason Mefford: Some of these psychic things that they’re experiencing in their life and it just makes me think you know, like like you’re saying that so much of the time we try to block out.
40 00:05:56.490 –> 00:06:11.010 Jason Mefford: Certain things we don’t want to admit or actually listen to ourselves we’d rather just numb out, you know whether that’s drugs, alcohol, whatever there’s lots of different ways that people come out in life.
41 00:06:11.850 –> 00:06:21.750 Jason Mefford: In the problem is, you know I mean both of us have lived long enough we’re no longer in or well you’re still 29 but i’m no longer in my 20s.
42 00:06:22.530 –> 00:06:39.720 Jason Mefford: And, and we wake up, you know later in life and are like what the Fuck just happened right and i’m and i’m guessing that you had kind of one of those moments as well right because you said you found the podcast is Jim for this podcast folks so.
43 00:06:39.780 –> 00:06:43.470 Jason Mefford: Absolutely transformative life from the inside out I listened to it, every week.
44 00:06:43.950 –> 00:07:03.720 Jason Mefford: Go listen to it as well it’s totally changed my life but but let’s let’s let’s talk about you let’s talk let’s talk about kind of you know where you were at because i’m sure that people that are listening can understand or relate to that of you know, I sometimes just off.
45 00:07:03.990 –> 00:07:19.620 Jason Mefford: In my life, you know I I i’m doing this, but I, something is going the way that it should be going so what was that for you to kind of tell us what what was going on in your life.
46 00:07:20.250 –> 00:07:33.150 Jason Mefford: That kind of brought you to that point of starting to listen to yourself, listening to your internal stuff your soul your whatever people want to call it, so you could feel more aligned.
47 00:07:33.870 –> 00:07:35.730 Glenda Barber: So, like if you were aligned, it would have been.
48 00:07:38.250 –> 00:07:44.970 Glenda Barber: My soul had mentioned that you know about that, I can tell you about this is exactly what that is, if I can help one person.
49 00:07:45.900 –> 00:07:52.890 Glenda Barber: And again, I can go back to what that looks like because it wasn’t very nice feeling inside but now that it’s different to say that point B was.
50 00:07:53.700 –> 00:08:00.930 Glenda Barber: I need to speak what it is through my own experience that i’ve had gates it helps hundreds, but that was my initial learning.
51 00:08:01.560 –> 00:08:20.970 Glenda Barber: And then i’ll go back and tell you about what it was like my now motivation, now that I know more I can be more I go up is better I also help my agenda is to help 10,000 people and learning how to be what it is rules might need to know which was.
52 00:08:23.100 –> 00:08:24.780 Glenda Barber: I was very success driven.
53 00:08:25.800 –> 00:08:31.110 Glenda Barber: Usually excelled in got to be where it was I wanted to be, I was very lucky.
54 00:08:32.160 –> 00:08:48.180 Glenda Barber: A few times, I said that I made major, important important decisions I followed my heart, I follow that inner knowing what I didn’t and piled up on a few choices that weren’t in line because I was scared shirtless excuse my language.
55 00:08:49.560 –> 00:08:51.810 Jason Mefford: Language language for me to hear always.
56 00:08:53.400 –> 00:08:54.360 Glenda Barber: So um.
57 00:08:54.720 –> 00:09:05.490 Glenda Barber: It probably doesn’t hurt to just digress me to sleep and had a marriage that ended and I had to revisit what it was like to lose the narcissist for me to get some boundaries around life.
58 00:09:06.480 –> 00:09:12.840 Glenda Barber: And boundaries about what that was like that had been away from for like 30 years and what am I smiling force.
59 00:09:15.810 –> 00:09:21.600 Glenda Barber: Learning you know you take it down to the you know I chose to be there as well as that simple what i’m getting at is.
60 00:09:23.160 –> 00:09:34.140 Glenda Barber: When the boundaries weren’t clear, it was a mirror image obviously childhood, so I had things that I had stepped away from back then, because I didn’t have actually dealt pretty well, but I didn’t know what to call them.
61 00:09:35.370 –> 00:09:38.250 Glenda Barber: What those things were and what i’m saying is I really didn’t know that.
62 00:09:39.420 –> 00:09:46.830 Glenda Barber: Not just did I not have boundaries that I learned to implement and have you know, be a bit more firm about so that I could show up to how I wanted people to treat me.
63 00:09:47.850 –> 00:09:57.930 Glenda Barber: I never really reflected back to what I would have called it, that people I learned from what was in them that creates so getting to what it was.
64 00:09:59.460 –> 00:10:02.910 Glenda Barber: Things accumulated people past that second my family.
65 00:10:04.230 –> 00:10:06.480 Glenda Barber: You do the right thing you show up where you need it.
66 00:10:07.530 –> 00:10:16.800 Glenda Barber: Because it’s the right thing, but what I hadn’t been taken care of before that was the issue which was coming out of a marriage stay too long.
67 00:10:17.340 –> 00:10:26.670 Glenda Barber: You know kind of beat myself down because that’s what I didn’t smile didn’t know what to do with stuff when you weren’t taking care with you know boundaries, to be really healthy and what so.
68 00:10:27.690 –> 00:10:29.400 Glenda Barber: it’s proven demos will finish the story.
69 00:10:30.570 –> 00:10:41.220 Glenda Barber: So then, when I was small I did take care of how to heal a lot of the things that I felt I needed to deal with again, you only see what you only see so then.
70 00:10:43.110 –> 00:10:44.670 Glenda Barber: I get to the point so don’t get carried away.
71 00:10:47.070 –> 00:10:51.900 Glenda Barber: By not giving it a name I still obviously had some things to deal with.
72 00:10:53.880 –> 00:11:04.320 Glenda Barber: A fully understanding what narcissism was about so Lo and behold very go landing in found a marriage, that was just beautiful when it was good, it was really good and when it wasn’t it wasn’t it was that simple.
73 00:11:05.340 –> 00:11:20.760 Glenda Barber: Parts I needed to learn, which the name the rest of it that I didn’t name and step into my own response energetic responsibility about oh you didn’t really make some wise ditches the red lights were there, and that goes for both people so.
74 00:11:21.990 –> 00:11:34.800 Glenda Barber: That does line up to this question you asked, because that was the predisposition that I came into these other members of the family, not being well they’d be myself down, but because I needed to learn some things.
75 00:11:36.060 –> 00:11:37.680 Glenda Barber: And those things I needed to learn was.
76 00:11:40.080 –> 00:11:43.170 Glenda Barber: If you made poor decisions at any point time stop.
77 00:11:44.550 –> 00:11:46.590 Glenda Barber: Take a breath take a pause and.
78 00:11:47.610 –> 00:11:49.170 Jason Mefford: keep making the best decisions.
79 00:11:49.440 –> 00:12:01.620 Glenda Barber: Exactly so so just go back to when they say what’s good what’s good and when it wasn’t okay what isn’t so good, so, then you look at your own responsibility in that moment about what am I not do to take care of myself because that’s all you can do to take care of you.
80 00:12:02.640 –> 00:12:11.190 Glenda Barber: How I show up to the other person, that is my responsibility to bring in a relationship so as soon as that happened that was my red flag to see what do you not taking care of you so.
81 00:12:11.700 –> 00:12:28.080 Glenda Barber: let’s say I had done a better job I still would have went where it went but I wouldn’t have lost myself in doing so that was where I was getting back on my feet licking my wounds and I can’t say it was for me, but I was exhausted, they had stayed way too long, so then fast forward.
82 00:12:29.160 –> 00:12:35.730 Glenda Barber: I tried to struggle through getting on your feet, instead of just allowing the process naturally to occur.
83 00:12:36.540 –> 00:12:44.310 Glenda Barber: energizing yourself in the right decisions and the right alignment inside I pushed because that’s what I knew how to do and I was exhausted, not the time to be pushing.
84 00:12:44.940 –> 00:12:56.190 Glenda Barber: Time to be still and really listen so and what was I just had two moons I needed to look after they were weren’t from way back when I guess I hadn’t looked at those aspects so i’m getting them to the point.
85 00:12:57.570 –> 00:13:01.590 Glenda Barber: it’s about a seven year gap between that and hearing just Jim podcast.
86 00:13:03.330 –> 00:13:07.200 Glenda Barber: A family member, I said became you and I was going to step up into that.
87 00:13:08.550 –> 00:13:16.140 Glenda Barber: In my struggles, I had created the biggest net you see completed minute I worked three jobs, I was a ninny.
88 00:13:17.280 –> 00:13:34.290 Glenda Barber: bought three houses, they all had mortgages and that’s the short of it, and without the jobs, you can support the other things that you’re developing assets about rate intention wrong synchronicities and entities so mean and everybody watching these that will go go.
89 00:13:36.240 –> 00:13:38.190 Glenda Barber: Anyway, come back to the main part of.
90 00:13:39.990 –> 00:13:54.270 Glenda Barber: If I had been taking better care what it showed up to help family members in a more grounded place, but I did what I wanted to do because it was what I felt I needed to do so, get back to the story, I was exhausted when in here, helping someone.
91 00:13:55.350 –> 00:13:59.820 Glenda Barber: And I have to admit that was probably an element of martyrdom that you didn’t even notice right, but there was someone else to do.
92 00:14:00.540 –> 00:14:12.300 Glenda Barber: So it was the right things person in my heart deserve to be support so yes i’m kind, but at the same time i’ll get to the point, the point was to all of their beautiful learning.
93 00:14:14.040 –> 00:14:16.170 Glenda Barber: It was the niggles of.
94 00:14:17.490 –> 00:14:22.380 Glenda Barber: campus for my soul was basically redirecting me back to some things I needed to learn.
95 00:14:23.340 –> 00:14:29.130 Glenda Barber: which was get your ass here we’re family was because that’s where you need benefited you in a little bit of business, so I could grow.
96 00:14:29.910 –> 00:14:46.500 Glenda Barber: and help those who need it, and at the same time it ended up to be me who got the beauty that all I got seven additional years with a family member who now has to cease doesn’t matter I got the best journey, instead of being 16 hours we were my heart, would have been you know question.
97 00:14:47.730 –> 00:14:50.040 Glenda Barber: But along that I jim’s podcast.
98 00:14:51.510 –> 00:14:57.360 Glenda Barber: redirection of you being silly stop and smell the roses and breathe and.
99 00:14:58.380 –> 00:15:01.470 Glenda Barber: Anyway, and plus call it hit and also say the word right because.
100 00:15:03.000 –> 00:15:14.340 Glenda Barber: I became a coach I took some hypnotherapy that I needed to learn and receive and I, like you said that when you started this is the perfect so there’s Some people even know what it can do.
101 00:15:15.690 –> 00:15:19.440 Glenda Barber: And wow what it can do, and then I learned a few other.
102 00:15:20.970 –> 00:15:25.530 Glenda Barber: healing modalities that comes from a background when i’m really young when I was seeking.
103 00:15:26.640 –> 00:15:31.740 Glenda Barber: Oh golly i’m on a tangent here i’m gonna stop for a minute, but I know where I want to go but it’s Okay, I need to breathe, I think.
104 00:15:31.830 –> 00:15:33.120 Jason Mefford: You like tangents on this.
106 00:15:34.770 –> 00:15:42.570 Glenda Barber: going well, what I was really young and not somebody when I am I seeking years before I had some sense of connection to self in something bigger than me.
107 00:15:44.340 –> 00:15:49.170 Glenda Barber: which set the bar for me and I didn’t know was something I guess I kept comparing everything do.
108 00:15:51.150 –> 00:15:59.400 Glenda Barber: to it, she was a new do survivor where she had been she came she had experienced unconditional love, on the other side when she came back.
109 00:16:00.720 –> 00:16:07.380 Glenda Barber: She shows up to audit my teacher, this is a different time in place in her life, obviously we’re doing all this beautiful healing work in the.
110 00:16:07.920 –> 00:16:15.060 Glenda Barber: mountains in a retreat and supporting each other and learning about what it is to show up for yourself and his firm anyway.
111 00:16:15.900 –> 00:16:22.890 Glenda Barber: He is a teacher he walked in and the whole room does a double take we don’t even know why she said don’t even who she is she’s bicep practice.
112 00:16:23.370 –> 00:16:32.040 Glenda Barber: But she emulated this unconditional love that I could not I get goosebumps when I think about So for me my heart knows what that feels like.
113 00:16:32.790 –> 00:16:38.970 Glenda Barber: I never really knew how to term unconditional love in the kinetic part and that’s how I relate to the world.
114 00:16:39.840 –> 00:16:54.330 Glenda Barber: get to the point she doesn’t meditation for two weeks we find out who he was and I come home and i’m like who was that lady I checked her out and she said she was written up in different books about her near death experience, but the meditation she shared with us.
115 00:16:55.440 –> 00:17:01.950 Glenda Barber: it’s about an unconditional loving process but emulated that love that I from then on.
116 00:17:04.020 –> 00:17:07.290 Glenda Barber: uses my benchmark is when I would learn other things, since.
117 00:17:08.700 –> 00:17:14.100 Glenda Barber: I never realized they judged according to that being now what I knew as this new thing.
118 00:17:16.650 –> 00:17:23.460 Glenda Barber: So it wasn’t i’ve kept in touch with the lady who gave me that courts that day that would teach him to audit us and.
119 00:17:24.900 –> 00:17:28.380 Glenda Barber: I contacted you that’s like three years ago, like i’m in my 20s right.
120 00:17:29.490 –> 00:17:37.800 Glenda Barber: I contact you to the summer and I need to come to us because it’s at you weird it was on jim’s platform with my connecting with yourself.
121 00:17:39.330 –> 00:17:45.540 Glenda Barber: Because, then I had the whole thing kind of roll out again the previous seven years I was saying that I watched somebody else.
122 00:17:46.260 –> 00:17:57.390 Glenda Barber: fall down hurt themselves and transition, but I was also it made sense I needed healing I didn’t know it, I wasn’t going to step into it and basically though it’s a short of the whole journey.
123 00:17:58.500 –> 00:18:00.750 Glenda Barber: To get reconnected with me and.
124 00:18:01.890 –> 00:18:03.690 Glenda Barber: Then there was a whole lot of beautiful things that come with.
125 00:18:04.920 –> 00:18:11.940 Glenda Barber: It made me want to step up and bring this to somebody who may be seeking like I was a long time ago.
126 00:18:12.450 –> 00:18:17.640 Glenda Barber: Who didn’t know how to affirm themselves didn’t know what unconditional love was or felt like or even had a metric.
127 00:18:18.300 –> 00:18:30.960 Glenda Barber: i’ve got examples of even small things in their own life they give you know, use all those benchmarks, so that, of course, like a compass 20 years I was afford to take us an accomplice to trust us to get out of the woods, in the middle of nowhere.
128 00:18:32.850 –> 00:18:37.800 Glenda Barber: So if I can trust the compass, then it just makes up with the reconnection with myself.
129 00:18:38.880 –> 00:18:41.580 Glenda Barber: and actually there’s one more thread.
130 00:18:42.720 –> 00:18:45.810 Glenda Barber: practicing was appear I got reintroduced to my soul actually through.
131 00:18:47.070 –> 00:18:51.930 Glenda Barber: soul technique work with hypnotherapy and it sounds absurd, but it was very real.
132 00:18:52.980 –> 00:18:58.830 Glenda Barber: And it didn’t want to come to the earth in the birth canal began Richard is really our people can think i’m.
133 00:19:00.630 –> 00:19:12.210 Glenda Barber: Not perfectly sane and perfectly okay that reintroduction was me going I was coming from a place of unconditional love and I knew I was going because i’d already contracted, why was my family.
134 00:19:13.980 –> 00:19:23.610 Glenda Barber: And I was a conduit to just help us all in milk and unconditional love was no more, no less, just to bring that little bit of a flavor to it and.
135 00:19:25.020 –> 00:19:34.710 Glenda Barber: Hold sacred space, which I would have it, what does it mean i’ve help people transition, you know who are alive and who’ve passed whether it’s to the light end or if they’re leaving their body.
136 00:19:35.910 –> 00:19:43.440 Glenda Barber: Because I couldn’t it feels easy it was less risky than doing it in the physical like you and I are if I didn’t have this skill yet.
137 00:19:45.060 –> 00:19:51.900 Glenda Barber: The other at least was safe right, you know because I knew where they were going that lady when I set a benchmark I wasn’t joking.
138 00:19:53.220 –> 00:19:55.440 Glenda Barber: For me, I knew I was going to be.
139 00:19:56.880 –> 00:20:01.320 Glenda Barber: In because he said i’m kinetic I learned from my if I cry it’s just because it’s truthful.
140 00:20:02.610 –> 00:20:16.380 Glenda Barber: From when i’m small I learned to understand my whole world, from an economic perspective, I didn’t have words to articulate that I might as well finish this part two, when I was small up until the age of six, I would go with other people at nighttime and we would heal.
141 00:20:17.640 –> 00:20:24.000 Glenda Barber: We do, collectively, though, as we can, was fun, it was joyful it was easy it was what we were here for.
142 00:20:25.020 –> 00:20:34.050 Glenda Barber: So then, at the age of six I consciously made a decision that because my outside world didn’t match were just speaking to that i’m going to turn down the volume on all of that, because.
143 00:20:35.220 –> 00:20:43.170 Glenda Barber: If i’m going to be honest, it was a bit of a narcissistic world they did their very best and they was a loving world, but if you couldn’t hear that.
144 00:20:43.800 –> 00:20:56.880 Glenda Barber: It was not really you ever bring or you’re a kid you’re just placated right I can’t blame any just the way it was so I chose to turn down my dad and and by doing that I let go of something that was extremely important, which was me.
145 00:20:58.020 –> 00:21:06.120 Glenda Barber: I still had a good life, but it could have been much more enriching quality with another so so if i’m kicking and screaming now it’s that I need to save it.
146 00:21:07.320 –> 00:21:08.850 Jason Mefford: yeah well I guess.
147 00:21:08.910 –> 00:21:11.970 Jason Mefford: yeah I was gonna say I think it’s you know.
148 00:21:13.170 –> 00:21:19.020 Jason Mefford: there’s a lot of stuff that you just said there that I want, I want to go back and pick apart some of that because I think it might have.
149 00:21:20.400 –> 00:21:21.780 Jason Mefford: It just might have skipped over.
150 00:21:22.260 –> 00:21:23.280 Jason Mefford: Some people because.
151 00:21:23.310 –> 00:21:25.440 Jason Mefford: Again it’s it’s.
152 00:21:25.980 –> 00:21:33.630 Jason Mefford: You said a lot of things that were that were really important and i’ve seen this in my life i’ve seen it in other people’s lives as well.
153 00:21:34.650 –> 00:21:42.030 Jason Mefford: You use the term about you’re seeking years you know when you were when you were younger back in your 20s you were seeking.
154 00:21:42.540 –> 00:21:43.620 Jason Mefford: Something right.
155 00:21:44.250 –> 00:21:47.970 Jason Mefford: And you had this experience with this lady who had the near death experience.
156 00:21:48.120 –> 00:21:54.420 Jason Mefford: Right and you felt something something connected with you something felt aligned.
157 00:21:55.110 –> 00:22:04.710 Jason Mefford: But then what happens with most of us right is is we get told no now you got to be an adult you gotta go get a job you gotta go do whatever right.
158 00:22:05.460 –> 00:22:13.380 Jason Mefford: or like you said, sometimes the things that we experience may be a little scary to us, and so we choose to turn the dial down on it.
159 00:22:14.250 –> 00:22:24.750 Jason Mefford: Because because we don’t want to hear it at the time, right and, and this is normal for all of us in this human experience right is that we.
160 00:22:25.560 –> 00:22:40.680 Jason Mefford: We have certain dreams, we have certain things that we want to do when we’re young children, even up in into teenage years and then what tends to happen is, we would become logical, we could become.
161 00:22:40.710 –> 00:22:45.930 Jason Mefford: Practical we we put we put away those childish things right and it.
162 00:22:46.380 –> 00:23:07.410 Jason Mefford: reminds me, I want to john john cougar mellencamp songs you know when I was a young boy said put away those young boy ways, now that I am older so much older how I long for those young boy ways right is that you know so much of the time, we know who we are, as a kid.
163 00:23:08.670 –> 00:23:17.730 Jason Mefford: But then we forget and it’s later in life when we have to listen to ourselves and kind of come back and it sounds like that’s.
164 00:23:18.660 –> 00:23:31.470 Jason Mefford: kind of what you’ve done right is that the the weight got so heavy on you, you know as you as you were talking about this, this one family member you’ve got three houses three mortgages you’re working all these jobs.
165 00:23:32.280 –> 00:23:47.520 Jason Mefford: right because you’re coming in you’re trying you’re trying to help you’re trying to be the responsible adult but in in doing that you’re giving away all of yourself and forgetting you and who you are underneath right.
166 00:23:48.180 –> 00:23:51.870 Glenda Barber: At the same time, I was so far removed from my own connection.
167 00:23:52.500 –> 00:23:58.410 Glenda Barber: yeah that wouldn’t have allowed I wouldn’t have allowed myself to get to that had I done that connected, it would just.
168 00:23:58.860 –> 00:24:04.080 Glenda Barber: Because cumulative not that you’re wrong but cumulative choices didn’t leave me the freedom.
169 00:24:04.800 –> 00:24:17.370 Glenda Barber: To be able to make the what’s the most practical decision here and do we just have somebody helping them and for now and then I go, do you know what I mean I didn’t leave space at all in my life at that time, but I was also beverage right so.
170 00:24:18.090 –> 00:24:21.510 Jason Mefford: yeah well and you use the word there what’s the most practical.
171 00:24:22.200 –> 00:24:31.680 Jason Mefford: Decision right because that’s again that’s what we get taught as adults is well what’s practical what’s the logical thing to do.
172 00:24:31.950 –> 00:24:40.830 Jason Mefford: yeah as opposed to necessarily what’s the right thing to do, because one of the things I heard you say before too is when you made those big decisions with your heart.
173 00:24:42.060 –> 00:24:43.920 Jason Mefford: They tended to be the right decisions.
174 00:24:44.220 –> 00:24:45.540 Glenda Barber: Not spot on yeah.
175 00:24:45.570 –> 00:24:45.900 Jason Mefford: Right.
176 00:24:46.650 –> 00:24:51.870 Jason Mefford: So flip side of that the people forget, is a lot of times the decisions we make with our head.
178 00:24:52.800 –> 00:24:58.050 Jason Mefford: Which are practical and logical are absolutely the wrong decisions to make.
179 00:24:58.650 –> 00:25:00.000 Glenda Barber: What Wilson yes.
180 00:25:01.920 –> 00:25:09.630 Jason Mefford: So, so how does you know because I love this little analogy that you gave because we we both have little for forestry.
181 00:25:10.500 –> 00:25:26.340 Jason Mefford: background, I mean there’s nothing that I love better than being out in the forest as well, and with the nature there, but you used to an example of you know that that when when you’re lost in the forest, you can pull out a compass.
182 00:25:27.270 –> 00:25:33.600 Jason Mefford: yeah and you can find your way back out right so that’s that’s a physical 3D thing right i’m lost.
183 00:25:34.770 –> 00:25:49.170 Jason Mefford: lost in the forest, how do I get my way out, I pull out a compass I figure out, you know kind of where I started, where I think I am you’ve got different points of reference, if you’ve got a mess other things like that you can find your way back with a tool.
184 00:25:49.800 –> 00:26:05.490 Jason Mefford: Like a compass So how do you how do you kind of help people because i’m guessing you know again that to be able to help you know, listen to ourselves and become more aligned internally.
185 00:26:07.020 –> 00:26:12.390 Jason Mefford: there’s the equivalent of a compass that we’re going to use to try to find our way back right.
186 00:26:12.900 –> 00:26:18.000 Jason Mefford: So what what does that look like, I mean for people that are listening and they’re like yep you know what.
187 00:26:18.810 –> 00:26:27.510 Jason Mefford: I resonate with this, I don’t I don’t feel like i’m completely aligned anymore and we’re not saying you know quit quit your job moved.
188 00:26:28.020 –> 00:26:34.800 Jason Mefford: someplace halfway around the world right, I mean there’s but there’s but there’s little things that all of us.
189 00:26:35.760 –> 00:26:49.920 Jason Mefford: I think feel like i’m not really being authentically me i’m not really being who I really am how do, how do we come to that true north or pull out that compass and help us find our way back.
190 00:26:51.180 –> 00:26:56.100 Glenda Barber: I believe that, even if they’re just a little slightly off the north, whether it’s to the West to the east.
191 00:26:57.210 –> 00:27:08.670 Glenda Barber: As long as i’m moving like and that’s what you do when you can’t use this analogy, because I believe it’s it’s perfect for me what you said yeah if you if you’re up in the up on the Hill, you can see where your head.
192 00:27:09.420 –> 00:27:11.400 Glenda Barber: You see across maybe to the next mountain where you.
193 00:27:11.550 –> 00:27:17.880 Glenda Barber: going to take your bearing and spot on, but when you’re walking between and going back down in the valley with trees are you can’t quite see.
194 00:27:18.510 –> 00:27:28.770 Glenda Barber: Exactly tickets your campus but each time you bring it your compass to see where you’re headed on North you’re going to be a little Askew one side of the other until you get your point of reference, at the next.
195 00:27:30.450 –> 00:27:35.820 Glenda Barber: out is that what we’re going to try and say you do your very best at.
197 00:27:41.970 –> 00:27:51.360 Glenda Barber: And even if it’s a storm, I want to call it a dust storm, but it knows shit storm, because if even if it’s not feeling really good around you we’re not those things, even if I created them.
198 00:27:52.560 –> 00:28:10.080 Glenda Barber: We can take and start I life at any moment and choose again at any point in time so let’s say that that was this moment I would feel him to give myself still as explained if i’m speaking to smell to it, how to do this, I would just spend time being in stillness with them.
199 00:28:11.130 –> 00:28:19.290 Glenda Barber: see what needs to be addressed first it’s not about what’s around us that’s not who we are, so we can kind of get to the crux of.
200 00:28:20.820 –> 00:28:31.980 Glenda Barber: allowing themselves to space create whether it’s tears whether it’s conversation get into learning to relax into yourself For starters, but it would be understanding what all that’s about.
201 00:28:33.780 –> 00:28:39.900 Glenda Barber: And i’ll start with the steps because it’s just safety as long as you can feel safe with what we’re doing together.
202 00:28:41.070 –> 00:28:50.490 Glenda Barber: Whether i’m just going to get to the point of releasing resistance and whatever that looks like whether it’s words tears energetic work and.
203 00:28:51.900 –> 00:29:03.060 Glenda Barber: create the space, then for possibility, because once you become more clear something’s going to percolate to the top to let you know, maybe what’s not working, if they’re already knowing.
204 00:29:03.870 –> 00:29:13.020 Glenda Barber: That you know this is Eric Michael a life over here Glenda that affects every single spoke of the rest of the wheel then we’re going to maybe start to look at that.
205 00:29:13.890 –> 00:29:23.190 Glenda Barber: Not on this perspective, not in your thinking CAP just about what is it about that that’s not working for you look at the resistance is that.
206 00:29:24.270 –> 00:29:30.480 Glenda Barber: point in time to bring it back to you is that still in that moment and stillness I spoke of it’s about how we’re being in showing up.
207 00:29:31.110 –> 00:29:47.370 Glenda Barber: So if we can get you to feel the resistance is that are working what’s the opposite of that, but what do you really want it to look like and feel like So for me if, when I had my granny and not three hoses three mortgages and i’m wanting to be 16 hours away to help a family member.
208 00:29:48.420 –> 00:29:53.670 Glenda Barber: breathing would have been a good place to start not just turning off the water and logging during get in the car and going.
209 00:29:54.840 –> 00:30:03.960 Glenda Barber: And going like he said what what really is best for me, even if the outcome was exactly the same, I can be differently during that next little journey of the decision.
210 00:30:04.950 –> 00:30:08.760 Glenda Barber: So if I know where i’m headed, that would be the next hilltop.
211 00:30:09.630 –> 00:30:23.700 Glenda Barber: And might make small tweaks along the way, like every time you look at your compass you’re going to be a little bit off by the time you get over there, because you’ve made a small tweak in your street life, but that would look like if you’re sitting here with me, we would.
212 00:30:24.750 –> 00:30:36.480 Glenda Barber: wonder what you want it to look like differently, so we can feel into what that feels like because only then can, if we can imagine and we’re going like when i’m thinking God is.
213 00:30:38.010 –> 00:30:47.430 Glenda Barber: And then i’m on the hilltop two different complete feelings, so if I want to jump to the hilltop what’s it feel like up there, that you want to see that’s your your point be.
214 00:30:48.510 –> 00:30:58.140 Glenda Barber: what’s it feel like what’s it look like to think, to be that person Jim had us do certain things to think into what that would feel like and.
215 00:30:59.400 –> 00:31:03.570 Glenda Barber: Then I finished jim’s program and I ran into somebody who.
216 00:31:04.680 –> 00:31:06.840 Glenda Barber: can bring a tangible thing.
217 00:31:07.950 –> 00:31:15.660 Glenda Barber: of how to figure out how to be that on paper and how to build a roadmap, this is what i’m going to be sending because this is the analogy of what to me.
218 00:31:16.410 –> 00:31:26.370 Glenda Barber: So when I get to the bottom of the valley, I want to know how to get to my next perspective my next point be over the next Hill and still be spot on and alignment along the way, so I don’t have to.
219 00:31:28.920 –> 00:31:38.940 Glenda Barber: So that I know that each step i’m going to take is in alignment actually with what I want to get there because i’m the only choice, one point B, and let me bring it back then, it was a current coach that I have.
220 00:31:40.560 –> 00:31:43.140 Glenda Barber: Ever I was a struggle bunny struggle best.
221 00:31:44.160 –> 00:31:45.360 Glenda Barber: that’s the way it shows.
222 00:31:46.650 –> 00:31:57.390 Glenda Barber: Because it allowed me to get at least monies but it’s still stayed in scarcity it’s still stayed in your head stuff when i’m not that in this perspective works was he is.
223 00:31:59.070 –> 00:32:08.940 Glenda Barber: let’s say one short more in line and i’m this nervous nitty which when i’m not feeling aligned that’s what I am because that’s what I learned as a small kid it was easier to stay invisible.
224 00:32:11.310 –> 00:32:13.290 Glenda Barber: Because, then I didn’t have to deal with those who weren’t like.
225 00:32:16.110 –> 00:32:18.030 Jason Mefford: I love that I love the term nervous many.
226 00:32:18.510 –> 00:32:18.720 To.
227 00:32:19.770 –> 00:32:20.580 Glenda Barber: And I still can be.
228 00:32:21.690 –> 00:32:23.880 Jason Mefford: Well, we all can be right, because.
229 00:32:24.450 –> 00:32:28.170 Jason Mefford: If we tend to take this forest analogy, a little further.
230 00:32:28.770 –> 00:32:37.110 Jason Mefford: right into kind of what you’ve been explaining you know it’s like we’re you know we’re walking along the path in the forest and we’re having a good time.
231 00:32:38.100 –> 00:32:49.230 Jason Mefford: And all of a sudden something happens and maybe we get knocked off the path we find ourselves rolling down the Hill and plunk we hit the bottom of this ravine.
232 00:32:50.160 –> 00:32:58.170 Jason Mefford: And we get up at that point and in in at that point, most of us are trying to figure out holy shit how do I get myself out of this right.
233 00:32:58.890 –> 00:33:06.840 Jason Mefford: We turn into that nervous ninny we start thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking thinking.
234 00:33:07.590 –> 00:33:17.460 Jason Mefford: Can all we end up doing is we end up increasing our anxiety and fear level, because our brain goes into hyper beta mode.
235 00:33:17.910 –> 00:33:19.860 Jason Mefford: And at that point you can’t think.
236 00:33:19.950 –> 00:33:42.450 Jason Mefford: Clearly anyway right and so at that point, the best thing to do is just to pause take a breath and get quiet right, which again, it sounds like again, this is the same kind of stuff you would do with with your clients as well, which is hey life fed yes shit sandwich and you’re not happy.
237 00:33:43.530 –> 00:33:47.850 Jason Mefford: Okay let’s just calm ourselves down.
238 00:33:49.290 –> 00:33:57.150 Jason Mefford: Look around see what’s here, we got a compass pull it out, try to figure out if i’m in the valley.
239 00:33:57.630 –> 00:34:03.240 Jason Mefford: right then there’s no way that i’m going to be able to figure out where I am until I get to some high ground.
240 00:34:03.990 –> 00:34:22.500 Jason Mefford: So I look around, I see a hill that’s higher than where I am and I climb up to the top and I start looking for my next reference point right I find my next reference point I pull out my compass I look and see which way that next reference point is.
241 00:34:23.940 –> 00:34:27.210 Jason Mefford: Take a big deep breath, because then I got to climb down into the next Valley.
242 00:34:27.810 –> 00:34:44.430 Jason Mefford: Before I can make it up there right yeah and you know I think you know, like you, you were talking about self hypnosis there’s some different modalities like that some of the reiki healing their stuff that you’ve done as well that are tools like that compass.
243 00:34:45.690 –> 00:35:00.270 Jason Mefford: That really kind of help us get to that next area or release some of the baggage that we have that makes us feel like we can’t get there.
245 00:35:02.850 –> 00:35:04.710 Jason Mefford: So a great way of kind of explaining.
246 00:35:05.160 –> 00:35:06.180 Glenda Barber: It perfect yeah.
247 00:35:06.990 –> 00:35:09.720 Jason Mefford: And so yeah I mean it’s it’s really.
248 00:35:12.810 –> 00:35:14.400 Jason Mefford: You know in, and so, how does it.
249 00:35:15.780 –> 00:35:18.750 Jason Mefford: How does that process kind of work because, again, you know we.
250 00:35:20.070 –> 00:35:26.640 Jason Mefford: there’s a lot of stuff that can be going on in our minds by a lot of a lot of things from.
251 00:35:26.640 –> 00:35:28.350 Jason Mefford: Before that often.
252 00:35:28.440 –> 00:35:34.200 Jason Mefford: end up holding us back as well right so i’m in the bottom of the ravine i’m like whoa.
253 00:35:34.590 –> 00:35:39.390 Jason Mefford: i’ve been here before and i’m never going to get out and I tried it before and didn’t work.
254 00:35:39.930 –> 00:35:54.510 Jason Mefford: it’s not going to work, this time right, how do we, because I think we all feel that way at some point i’m guessing you probably have felt that way at different points in your life to I know I have right i’m sure people that are listening have.
255 00:35:55.380 –> 00:36:03.480 Jason Mefford: as well, so at that point pause take a breath, what else What else can we do at that point to really kind of help us get going.
256 00:36:03.930 –> 00:36:06.690 Glenda Barber: Well, providing your well and healthy at the bottom of the ravine.
257 00:36:07.980 –> 00:36:08.160 Jason Mefford: we’re.
258 00:36:08.430 –> 00:36:10.680 Jason Mefford: Broken leg it’s exactly.
259 00:36:11.010 –> 00:36:17.370 Glenda Barber: So, so I was gonna say safety and even if that sounds silly so that we feel safe inside in the moment in our body.
260 00:36:18.030 –> 00:36:30.630 Glenda Barber: You know, so that we’re not dealing with nervousness and anxiety and fear, so, then we can just use breath use different techniques that we can come back into the stillness and then from that place I would.
261 00:36:31.860 –> 00:36:36.300 Glenda Barber: Hopefully, try to help you get rid of resistance and what I mean by that it could be.
262 00:36:36.990 –> 00:36:42.960 Glenda Barber: kaushik records can be hypnosis could be sacred harmony method could be WikiLeaks method, which are all basically waiting to say okay.
263 00:36:43.890 –> 00:37:01.230 Glenda Barber: we’re in the now really present we’re not going to be feeling this resistance doesn’t belong here so we’re in that space of really feeling connected it’s not there, so, then we would find some way to help you feel elevated like you say whether it’s a hypnosis.
264 00:37:02.910 –> 00:37:08.100 Glenda Barber: You know, go into that loving place with inside feel what it was like to unconditionally love you da.
265 00:37:09.150 –> 00:37:15.330 Glenda Barber: You know, or to feel loved and and even if we’re in the middle of the words that it has no bearing on anything when it has bearing on his.
266 00:37:16.380 –> 00:37:23.280 Glenda Barber: or her subconscious, which is the one that takes us out if we’re used to not having positive thoughts and actually being on top of things.
267 00:37:24.420 –> 00:37:27.930 Glenda Barber: Whenever we give it as long as you’re feeling safe it looks more than the same.
268 00:37:28.980 –> 00:37:34.260 Glenda Barber: So it’s going to if I want to choose i’m feeling safe already.
269 00:37:35.790 –> 00:37:43.560 Glenda Barber: As long as what i’m choosing isn’t so far away from what this moment is it’s the next small win that I want to get to get to my point be.
270 00:37:44.340 –> 00:37:50.580 Glenda Barber: it’s not going to take me out of the game, this is not your frightening it could be okay, maybe that tonight, I just want to fold so one.
271 00:37:51.090 –> 00:37:57.630 Glenda Barber: thing but it might be on a topic that’s uncomfortable I tried to make it a big one, so bring it down small chunk it.
272 00:37:58.290 –> 00:38:05.070 Glenda Barber: That it feels doable and or just a bit beyond doable so then stretching i’m going to feel safe to do it when you’ve accomplished it.
273 00:38:05.550 –> 00:38:18.900 Glenda Barber: that’s that next line goal that i’m speaking to that it’s already in line it’s me who wants to get to Point B, I chose that so then we’re going to start back here, I have a habit if i’m not mindful to to want to the big picture.
274 00:38:20.310 –> 00:38:27.720 Glenda Barber: So if I chunk it i’ve got a big picture, I know what i’d like so how am I going to do it well, first, I have to be calm and ease and flow if i’m not those things.
275 00:38:28.200 –> 00:38:36.090 Glenda Barber: are probably new you know, an extra couple of hours to take myself out and just you know it’s a walk in the woods, to come to be still to feel okay.
276 00:38:37.110 –> 00:38:38.820 Glenda Barber: And when i’m feeling safe and at ease.
277 00:38:40.260 –> 00:38:54.750 Glenda Barber: i’m going to create wonderful things in my life as my subconscious like all of us it’s we don’t have saber tooth tigers, but we have things that take us out that make us a little bit nervous if i’m doing it a tangible easy goals.
278 00:38:55.860 –> 00:39:03.900 Glenda Barber: And I say want to stretch and just a little bit my subconscious gonna say that’s a good new level, so my next step level sure I might get go.
279 00:39:04.920 –> 00:39:08.430 Glenda Barber: Because, maybe now, it requires other responsibilities of me but it’s still doable.
280 00:39:09.480 –> 00:39:14.040 Glenda Barber: If I ask for help, which i’ve been taking coaching ever since.
281 00:39:14.490 –> 00:39:22.680 Glenda Barber: I never heard of coaching in my life unless it was like to do with figure skating when I when I ended up on that podcast i’m telling you the truth, I was still using my heads in the sand.
282 00:39:23.070 –> 00:39:32.310 Glenda Barber: Who would work I love, but I was also in the woods, where there wasn’t all of the other Internet anyway, and then a profession of 20 years doing what i’m doing now, which is.
283 00:39:33.120 –> 00:39:46.440 Glenda Barber: Before choosing online has been an hour empty with yourself in a business behind a closed door rub dumb and do beautiful work, but I didn’t have to learn what i’m learning now and.
284 00:39:47.820 –> 00:39:52.560 Glenda Barber: I guess i’m sorry that I never heard that before so beautiful party is, I never learned that.
285 00:39:54.000 –> 00:40:01.440 Glenda Barber: To be living life with fear is an okay thing it sets you up for the next bar to be the next best, but in wholeness.
286 00:40:02.010 –> 00:40:08.670 Glenda Barber: Not just in fearful grab the next baton another back and try to learn from what you were you even appreciate what you’ve done.
287 00:40:09.330 –> 00:40:17.580 Glenda Barber: You know I didn’t do that all right, but that’s okay i’m here now and i’m doing it and it’s slowly all these little things that i’m doing if I take time to go.
288 00:40:18.990 –> 00:40:27.270 Glenda Barber: or i’ve worked my answers i’m going for xyz whatever, that is, and they don’t really drink, but maybe a pedicure or a massage or something that still.
289 00:40:28.770 –> 00:40:44.460 Glenda Barber: appreciating the hard work i’m doing for myself because i’m also hopefully showing up that way for people, you know i’m going to call that magic but it’s not that i’m magical that the what we’re given by living with a sense of purpose coming from our inside.
290 00:40:45.540 –> 00:40:54.150 Glenda Barber: Is what we were told from that gentleman, you know, creating magic from the inside out and how can you not and when you do.
291 00:40:54.810 –> 00:41:03.420 Glenda Barber: and getting excited so but it’s like the high coherence breathing if you breathe in your heart for five and a half or five and do that reasonably for about five to 20 minutes depending how much time you want to give it.
292 00:41:05.130 –> 00:41:18.180 Glenda Barber: gets us out of our way it actually brings a legitimate whenever you’re aware of it or not, and then you put a word like let’s see that’s a neutral place but we’re still amplified our electrical magnetic fields or human wi fi.
293 00:41:19.260 –> 00:41:29.580 Glenda Barber: Through a word on there that you really want to work on being you’ll be that without effort you know, to set their own spent the time and really bringing in.
294 00:41:30.360 –> 00:41:38.700 Glenda Barber: Our electromagnetic frequencies there anyway, what do we want to be don’t want to be a loving, caring person truthfully in this life at this point.
295 00:41:39.180 –> 00:41:49.530 Glenda Barber: If that’s all I am I create the world around me, that is, that and I get the reflection back and then I can show up to somebody who is that and or a secret.
296 00:41:51.480 –> 00:42:00.480 Glenda Barber: As long as you’re seeking we’re in we can work together if somebody who translated yeah i’ll stop it sound like i’m not an evangelist i’m not.
297 00:42:01.530 –> 00:42:08.490 Glenda Barber: Because I want the person who’s in the bottom, the valley doesn’t know how to get to the top you just needs to campus but somebody shown how to use a compass.
298 00:42:08.820 –> 00:42:14.280 Jason Mefford: yeah because I think that’s The important thing right, I mean I grew up being a boy scout so.
299 00:42:14.610 –> 00:42:23.880 Jason Mefford: I know how to do that because I was, I was taught how to do it, you could you could throw me in the middle of the woods somewhere, give me a couple of things I would be fine I would be able to live and survive.
300 00:42:24.660 –> 00:42:35.190 Jason Mefford: Because those were things that i’ve been taught right but, but I think it’s it’s important you know, again, and this is, you know whether you have to get out of a forest okay.
301 00:42:36.180 –> 00:42:43.050 Jason Mefford: here’s your little roadmap, if you ever find yourself at the bottom of valley right take a compass, if you go hiking always take a compass take a knife.
302 00:42:43.440 –> 00:42:49.860 Jason Mefford: there’s a couple things you should probably always have with you but but but what’s interesting is is, I think that this is where.
303 00:42:50.520 –> 00:43:05.220 Jason Mefford: You mentioned a couple things here that I want to go into and then we’re going to go back to the broken leg too, because you know when you find yourself there, I think a lot of times as humans, we were used to.
304 00:43:06.270 –> 00:43:14.100 Jason Mefford: Success and trying to push ourselves and stretch ourselves, and I think a lot of times we try to stretch herself further than we can.
305 00:43:14.670 –> 00:43:25.050 Jason Mefford: Then we can honestly go and then we feel shitty about herself right so it’d be the equivalent of like i’m at the bottom i’ve got 1000 foot mountain i’ve got to climb here.
306 00:43:25.800 –> 00:43:32.640 Jason Mefford: and say okay Jason you got five minutes to get to the top ain’t no way i’m getting to the top and five minutes.
307 00:43:33.300 –> 00:43:44.760 Jason Mefford: But as long as i’m moving a little bit in that direction right taking those little steps every day celebrating those things as it comes along and honestly.
308 00:43:45.300 –> 00:43:49.410 Jason Mefford: You know when i’ve been hiking that’s sometimes what I have to do it’s like.
309 00:43:49.800 –> 00:43:59.460 Jason Mefford: i’m going to walk until I get to that point on the trail and then i’m going to stop for a minute or two and catch my breath and then i’m going to go to that next point right.
310 00:44:00.120 –> 00:44:10.170 Jason Mefford: And that’s what we have to do in our life as well right, because if if maybe we’re not being as loving or as kind of a person as we want to be.
311 00:44:11.010 –> 00:44:18.420 Jason Mefford: But we’re still making those little steps and doing those little things we need to every day small as they may be.
312 00:44:19.410 –> 00:44:38.520 Jason Mefford: we’re headed in the right direction and that’s that’s what’s really important, but I wanted to back up because I, you know as we were kind of joking about the broken leg and about safety, but it just reminded me that you know, sometimes we do find ourself in the valley, with a broken leg.
313 00:44:39.060 –> 00:44:55.380 Jason Mefford: Right and before I ever have any chance of trying to climb up to get to the higher ground, sometimes I have to take care of those acute things in my life, and I know you you’ve mentioned a previous marriage.
314 00:44:55.740 –> 00:44:57.540 Jason Mefford: I was in a previous marriage.
315 00:44:57.600 –> 00:44:58.950 Jason Mefford: You know, like that or.
316 00:45:00.000 –> 00:45:02.610 Jason Mefford: You know, maybe other things that are going on to where.
317 00:45:03.960 –> 00:45:16.380 Jason Mefford: We want to change, but sometimes there’s things like the broken legs in our life that you have to deal with first before we can kind of move forward.
318 00:45:19.170 –> 00:45:27.360 Jason Mefford: And you know I mean it’s it sounds like you know, like you said again that you’ve experienced and things like that I have to.
319 00:45:28.080 –> 00:45:37.740 Jason Mefford: And, and like you said part of maybe why we’re not feeling the alignment is because we’re in certain relationships or.
320 00:45:38.160 –> 00:45:51.990 Jason Mefford: You know we’re engaging in certain behaviors are not engaging and certain behaviors that are the equivalent of the broken leg that we got to fix first and then it’s going to make everything else easier.
321 00:45:52.230 –> 00:45:52.680 Glenda Barber: To do.
322 00:45:54.300 –> 00:45:56.970 Glenda Barber: Did you want me to speak to how you deal with a broken leg, and all that, how do.
323 00:45:56.970 –> 00:45:58.350 Jason Mefford: You, how do you deal with a broken leg.
324 00:45:59.070 –> 00:46:10.920 Glenda Barber: Well, I would do my everybody that’s listening we’re talking about about you know this analogy, but we’re not talking about that analogy okay we’re talking about how to how to improve your life along the way.
325 00:46:11.310 –> 00:46:15.870 Jason Mefford: analogies are just away that help us learn and incorporate some of this stuff better.
326 00:46:16.440 –> 00:46:24.900 Glenda Barber: Now that’s that’s a really good example it’s Okay, if I was in the middle of some some turbulence will say in life to your marriage is not the greatest and it’s kind of going.
327 00:46:27.540 –> 00:46:35.850 Glenda Barber: You want to be able to manage each day going forward to at least make the best decisions from the best place inside of you in an order to do that.
328 00:46:36.450 –> 00:46:46.260 Glenda Barber: You would deal with K, so how can I be the best me that I can be right in this moment like we were saying before we’re not our thoughts like that monkey chatter that we hear in your mind that’s, not us.
329 00:46:47.610 –> 00:46:57.000 Glenda Barber: we’re not the environment around us, even if it looks like curious you know, or if it looks like a you know disaster we’re not we’re not we’re not those things, or the being.
330 00:46:57.510 –> 00:47:06.510 Glenda Barber: Who is now has a choice to be what it is they want to be the next step, even if it bet for supper are you going to talk to you are not together.
331 00:47:07.980 –> 00:47:15.300 Glenda Barber: But you don’t want to be a crab apple you want to be the best going forward, no matter what it is so sitting with that and trying to be that.
332 00:47:16.410 –> 00:47:20.190 Glenda Barber: Some people from my past might have called it a false because you’re being something you’re not.
333 00:47:21.450 –> 00:47:22.980 Glenda Barber: But we mentioned about the.
334 00:47:24.270 –> 00:47:36.780 Glenda Barber: subconscious doesn’t it doesn’t know what’s false and what’s like it could be, it could be fantasy and your subconscious really doesn’t know the difference if I felt safe in believing that it’s going to bring me more of that.
335 00:47:38.100 –> 00:47:47.160 Glenda Barber: So if I really think okay if there’s any chance of marriage surviving we’ll use that as an example, or getting through at least this next bit to figure out what’s going on.
336 00:47:47.760 –> 00:47:52.800 Glenda Barber: I gotta be the best me which could be that OK so i’m going to picture myself is not stress that only picture.
337 00:47:53.610 –> 00:48:02.220 Glenda Barber: i’m going to do what I can do to support that action inside of myself in the being of being calm relaxed in it might be just as simple as breathing.
338 00:48:03.090 –> 00:48:17.340 Glenda Barber: breathing technique, I told you will take you there it’s it’s a chemical makeup it’s about electromagnetic field and, if I can be the best me those around me change it’s that electromagnetic field is different than our wi fi it’s the same darn thing.
339 00:48:18.360 –> 00:48:24.030 Glenda Barber: So if I can be what I can be without being crabby we can go go for a walk plenty if I need to get rid of the grammys.
340 00:48:26.130 –> 00:48:30.840 Glenda Barber: Even if there’s a like you say a whole financial shipping going on around us.
341 00:48:32.040 –> 00:48:32.850 Glenda Barber: We aren’t that.
342 00:48:34.200 –> 00:48:43.740 Glenda Barber: can deal with that as this part inside of US becomes wiser clear more empty more available and and i’m smiling because, if I say, I want to feel calm.
343 00:48:44.910 –> 00:48:48.750 Glenda Barber: or even if it comes, right down to being hopeful instead of helpless.
344 00:48:49.920 –> 00:48:59.400 Glenda Barber: that’s a huge leap but it’s it’s small enough of an increment and it means the difference of somebody having possibilities, instead of feeling overwhelmed and not knowing what to do.
345 00:49:00.390 –> 00:49:16.800 Glenda Barber: So there’s steps that we can do together energetically and disagreement might bring you into remember when you felt somewhere like this before and you got through the mining someone that there’s you know there’s reasons and there’s things we can do in the now be.
346 00:49:17.880 –> 00:49:20.790 Glenda Barber: So if you do, that the broken leg is still there.
347 00:49:22.050 –> 00:49:30.030 Glenda Barber: But we haven’t increased someone’s anxiety to send them into shark are supporting them so putting the one blanket on giving them water, when appropriate, or not.
348 00:49:30.570 –> 00:49:39.420 Glenda Barber: it’s staying with them, keeping them calm and I don’t care from across the world, now I know I can do that somebody brought upon you know that’s just thousands of miles away.
349 00:49:40.170 –> 00:49:52.590 Glenda Barber: And you can be that, so we talked about sacred states not doing my grocery lists in the back of my mind really being present and when i’m present i’m not negative i’m completely in the moment.
350 00:49:53.820 –> 00:50:02.580 Glenda Barber: And if there’s something you need intuitively I do have that ability grateful I said i’m kinetic that comes, naturally, you can read the room pretty easily, even though you weren’t free to admit it, somebody.
351 00:50:06.300 –> 00:50:14.610 Glenda Barber: I don’t tell anybody had a feeler to be, but if I can suggest that maybe there’s a resistance, I might, are you feeling, you know some resistance around your heart and you really.
352 00:50:15.090 –> 00:50:25.500 Glenda Barber: Do you want to keep that there may be do because you need to feel safe i’m not going to tell you how to be so, but you want to lessen know so you can feel safe but yet not shut down.
353 00:50:26.490 –> 00:50:36.210 Glenda Barber: work through that not just through reiki through breathing just present you have for themselves, but to be reminded of not being helpless to be empowered.
354 00:50:37.020 –> 00:50:48.000 Glenda Barber: to know what they’re doing to make a choice or the cells in the moment to feel to come out of helplessness given somebody some choices that’s just it’s so freeing and simple.
355 00:50:48.810 –> 00:50:57.630 Glenda Barber: And the breathing technique is it’s been crazy wonderful out works, but you’re bringing them into stillness and guess what you have to look your feelings and you do.
356 00:50:59.160 –> 00:51:08.760 Glenda Barber: But but that’s what they’re there, for we just say this something’s not Okay, and if you got someone there to support you when you’re doing that because sometimes it seems scary than hell.
357 00:51:09.240 –> 00:51:25.710 Glenda Barber: i’m not going there because it scares me, but yet that’s where the magic is of the knowing to say you’re not in concurrency here you don’t need to do lot in this moment just even aware of that, before I make 10 more decisions really rapidly from there, and so the broken leg now becomes.
359 00:51:28.620 –> 00:51:39.960 Glenda Barber: Know infection going on and stabilized in the person then becomes more stable income inside and I hope that is helpful the analogy so, then they don’t feel alone and.
360 00:51:41.220 –> 00:51:43.890 Glenda Barber: When you don’t feel alone, hopefully, you look back inside and.
361 00:51:44.940 –> 00:51:50.940 Glenda Barber: You can ask them, you know, have you ever felt connected anything outside of yourself, and if you have did that ever bring you comfort.
362 00:51:52.770 –> 00:52:05.190 Glenda Barber: Well, that is, who you are, you know you are all of that so that’s you you’re already going to give him a funny analogy somebody said to me one time and I, like the meeting either pregnant or you’re not being like in this moment.
363 00:52:05.790 –> 00:52:09.210 Jason Mefford: Oh you’re not trying to be you know you’re not partially pregnant you either.
364 00:52:09.210 –> 00:52:09.420 or.
365 00:52:10.500 –> 00:52:13.920 Glenda Barber: So, so the same goes with if it ever brought you over it before.
366 00:52:14.910 –> 00:52:24.480 Glenda Barber: Then you are the because if it works, then it’s a faulty to say it’s not working, that no matter what we call this thing that we are part of are connected to.
367 00:52:25.170 –> 00:52:40.290 Glenda Barber: If it works for you one time guess what you are, that you know, to me, so, in other words just bring going sighing and really try to be okay that we’re not broken nothing wrong with us they’re never what we’re deserving of the best life, no matter what we feel like.
368 00:52:43.200 –> 00:52:47.280 Jason Mefford: I think that’s helpful here to you know, for us to to kind of wrap up with is that.
369 00:52:48.510 –> 00:52:50.370 Jason Mefford: You know, just like we talked about sometimes.
370 00:52:51.750 –> 00:52:57.450 Jason Mefford: Sometimes you got just a few scrapes and bruises you can pick yourself up, you can do some of this stuff on your own.
371 00:52:58.080 –> 00:53:07.920 Jason Mefford: You already have accomplished, you can pull it out, you can probably probably do a lot of this stuff yourself, but sometimes there’s going to be things in your life that are more like the broken legs.
372 00:53:08.760 –> 00:53:30.810 Jason Mefford: And, and having somebody else there to help you along the way to let you know that you’re not alone, you can do hard things you’ve done them before and and to help us kind of see some of the perspective, and also to ask us some of the questions that we need to hear right is because.
373 00:53:31.890 –> 00:53:41.970 Jason Mefford: So a lot of times we already know what we need to do we just don’t want to do it so let’s go back to our broken leg again right.
374 00:53:42.990 –> 00:53:46.050 Jason Mefford: So Glenda if you’re sitting there with your broken leg at the bottom.
375 00:53:47.820 –> 00:53:53.880 Jason Mefford: i’m going to do what I can to comfort you right because i’m your friend I love you I I want you to feel good.
376 00:53:55.200 –> 00:54:05.190 Jason Mefford: I want you to make the progress and and I might look at it, and I see it’s a it’s a simple fracture you probably broken up, but it’s it’s it’s not that big a deal we’ll.
377 00:54:05.670 –> 00:54:15.900 Jason Mefford: we’ll wrap it up, will give you some comfort you’re probably going to be okay, but I might look down, and I see your bone protruding through your pants, and I say.
378 00:54:18.150 –> 00:54:19.860 Jason Mefford: Glenda you have a broken leg.
379 00:54:21.060 –> 00:54:23.280 Jason Mefford: And you say yeah I know and.
380 00:54:24.330 –> 00:54:26.400 Jason Mefford: Did you realize it’s a compound fracture.
381 00:54:27.630 –> 00:54:37.890 Jason Mefford: And so the only way for you to deal with it is to go through some horrific pain, right now, as we reset your leg.
382 00:54:38.820 –> 00:54:50.520 Jason Mefford: Right, because sometimes those things come along and maybe again if we use our marriage example, or it can be anything we’re just using a couple of analogies for you to kind of get the get the point.
383 00:54:51.600 –> 00:55:02.400 Jason Mefford: Sometimes you have to go through a lot of short term pain for what’s better for you, in the long run, sometimes it might mean getting a divorce, leaving a relationship.
384 00:55:03.030 –> 00:55:08.760 Jason Mefford: The equivalent of that pain that we might feel of getting our leg reset the way it needs to be reset.
385 00:55:09.600 –> 00:55:18.810 Jason Mefford: But at the same point if Linda sitting there going yep I see it’s compound fracture and i’m just happy sitting here because I don’t want to deal with it right now I don’t want to deal with it.
386 00:55:19.860 –> 00:55:24.870 Jason Mefford: All right, when you’re ready to deal with it just let me know and we’ll set your leg back into place.
387 00:55:26.430 –> 00:55:38.250 Jason Mefford: You know, because, again, it is it’s all up to us it’s our life we get to choose what we’re going to do, but I think like I said it’s a great way to kind of wrap up, but sometimes we just need a little help.
388 00:55:38.910 –> 00:55:47.250 Jason Mefford: And there’s people like Linda like me there’s plenty of people out there in the world who want to help you and you know if people.
389 00:55:48.030 –> 00:55:56.160 Jason Mefford: Do you resonate with certain people and you think they can help you then ask for help right that’s that’s again the one one thing.
390 00:55:56.970 –> 00:56:09.210 Jason Mefford: You know, one of the lies that we get told as adults is you can just do everything yourself we can’t do everything ourselves all the time, you know, can you can you perform brain surgery on yourself.
391 00:56:09.780 –> 00:56:11.310 Jason Mefford: Of course, right you.
392 00:56:11.490 –> 00:56:20.790 Jason Mefford: need some help with that and it actually takes more courage to ask for help and to get help them to try to muddle through it yourself so.
393 00:56:21.750 –> 00:56:32.160 Jason Mefford: Anyway, well Glenda I have really enjoyed this discussion today any any final thoughts that you kind of want to want to share as we kind of wrap up for today.
394 00:56:32.760 –> 00:56:44.160 Glenda Barber: um, if any, if it resonates anything that i’ve said that it resonates with anyone, and they have any questions i’m more than open even just for clarity call in in regard to putting you on to maybe who can help you, if I can.
395 00:56:44.730 –> 00:56:54.750 Glenda Barber: and explaining a little bit about the journey of what it looks like and if you are inclined to think you might want to take any type of coaching.
396 00:56:56.010 –> 00:56:57.720 Glenda Barber: hypnosis you probably are.
397 00:56:58.860 –> 00:57:01.410 Glenda Barber: Not necessarily mean that would be it wouldn’t be fair but.
398 00:57:03.210 –> 00:57:06.000 Glenda Barber: it’s helped immensely lots of people to tell me.
399 00:57:07.290 –> 00:57:12.630 Glenda Barber: So this coaching period just a little bit of a sudden now Joe saying just good to get onto your north.
400 00:57:15.030 –> 00:57:29.070 Glenda Barber: So we need to be as the next right decision and the next right moment, and the rest lineup to be true, you know it will cover, so thank you for the opportunity to talk about Jason and I can learn a lot just by listening as well, so thank you very much.
401 00:57:29.790 –> 00:57:42.330 Jason Mefford: My pleasure and yeah so we reach out to Glenda if if you want to she’s on social media she’s got a website will put it in the show notes as well, and because she’s up in Canada Glenda barber.ca.

403 00:57:45.960 –> 00:57:48.420 Jason Mefford: But yeah we’ll put all that stuff in the show notes as well, but.
404 00:57:50.340 –> 00:57:54.960 Jason Mefford: I appreciate you taking the time today and getting to talk about the forest.
405 00:57:56.370 –> 00:57:58.800 Jason Mefford: And everything else it’s time for me to get back out there again.

I was recently interviewed on a podcast and we started talking about learning, something I LOVE!
It reminded me of how difficult it is for most people to learn, since you were taught a traditional method in school where you are lucky to remember 10% of what you learned.
Does this sound like how you were taught to learn:
read a book,
listen to a lecture,
memorize facts, and
regurgitate them for the test?
That method might have gotten you through school, with a lot of effort, but it won’t get you through life without a lot of struggle.
Traditional learning methods like that SUCK and is one reason people “quit” learning when they leave school. The trouble is, to survive in this world you have to keep learning, but you need to learn how to do it much more effectively.
Are you ready to learn the science behind learning and brain processing, and how to practically apply the Multi-Sensory Learning Loop to everything you do, so that you learn quicker and remember more?
Are you ready to learn the modern learning method I developed that I referred to in the podcast?
Here’s a few more questions:
Are you a life-long learner who wants to remember more of what you learn?
Are you studying in a formal learning environment, or for exams and want to pass quicker or improve your exam scores?
Are you someone who has to learn lots of new information for your job / career and want to do it in less time?
Do you have difficulty learning in a traditional learning environment?
Most people are terrified to speak in public, but we do it everyday. How much easier would it be if you learned some tips for how to stand out and be confident, instead of being nervous each time you open your mouth?
Whether you realize it or not, your brain is playing tricks on you. What you think is reality, or the stories you tell yourself, is probably not what is actually happening.
What do you do when you are a boy born in a small village in northwestern Russia and want to become successful and improve your life? You “hang out” with people who inspire you by reading their books, taking their courses, and feeding your brain so you become like them. You develop habits that made those people successful and you live them every day. Success leaves clues, and what others have done you can do also.
Motivational speaker Jim Rohn famously said that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. So what do you do when you are a boy born in a small village in northwestern Russia and want to become successful and improve your life?
You “hang out” with people who inspire you by reading their books, taking their courses, and feeding your brain so you become like them. You develop habits that made those people successful and you live them every day. Success leaves clues, and what others have done you can do also.
I’m grateful to share my friend Pavel Verbnyak’s story in this #jammingwithjason #podcast because what he has accomplished, you can too. He share exactly what he did, and what you can do to start making changes on the inside so the world around you changes.
This is one of those episodes where the more you listen, the more you will learn, and hear exactly what you need to hear. The fact that you are reading this means there is something in this episode you need to hear today.
Pavel is a keynote motivational speaker, success strategist-coach, expert and author on the subjects of personal and professional development. His goal is to help, inspire people achieve their personal, professional, and financial goals faster and easier than they ever imagined.
You can see why I like Pavel and how we are so aligned in how we want to serve and help you.
1 00:00:01.709 –> 00:00:14.820 Jason Mefford: hey welcome again to another episode of jamming with Jason hey today, you know you know if you’ve been listening to me for a while i’m based in the Los Angeles area in California, and today I have a very special guest.
2 00:00:15.509 –> 00:00:26.910 Jason Mefford: all the way from Russia so literally we’re talking literally like halfway around the world, but i’m excited to talk to prevail and i’m hopefully i’m going to say this right.
3 00:00:27.840 –> 00:00:40.260 Jason Mefford: Here, but he is an expert in the psychology of success there’s a lot of things that he and I have in common and so i’m excited for today’s episode, because this is one just where.
4 00:00:40.770 –> 00:00:54.990 Jason Mefford: We get to kind of geek out and talk about some of this stuff but, as you listen you’re going to hear exactly what it is that you need to hear today, and so, with that let’s roll that episode.
5 00:00:57.330 –> 00:01:00.660 Jason Mefford: hey pop out our am I saying that right again but.
6 00:01:01.590 –> 00:01:03.930 Jason Mefford: Allah Allah POM POM POM.
7 00:01:05.520 –> 00:01:06.900 Pavel Verbnyak: it’s all ages.
8 00:01:07.890 –> 00:01:08.340 yeah.
9 00:01:09.510 –> 00:01:13.260 Pavel Verbnyak: it’s very nice to see you and thank you very much for the invitation.
10 00:01:13.560 –> 00:01:24.150 Pavel Verbnyak: For this conversation it’s it’s wonderful to share some ideas and thoughts with you and followers and I would love to learn from you as well, because you’re doing great then.
11 00:01:24.900 –> 00:01:40.470 Jason Mefford: Well, you know these are just conversations I mean that’s why college jamming with Jason because effectively, you know it kind of feel like it’s just a couple of friends sitting around talking but the rest of the world gets to listen right and I always.
12 00:01:40.500 –> 00:01:47.100 Jason Mefford: used to think I mean how cool would it be right to like listen to two experts about something just kind of be the fly on the wall so.
13 00:01:48.420 –> 00:01:59.070 Jason Mefford: Hopefully that’s a little bit about what what people get from here, but yeah let’s let’s jump in because I know you know we’ve talked a little bit before and we’re so much in alignment.
14 00:01:59.340 –> 00:02:07.890 Jason Mefford: yeah about how we’re trying to help people in this world, but maybe just just give everybody a little a little background into you.
15 00:02:08.550 –> 00:02:25.770 Jason Mefford: kind of how you got to what you’re doing, because I think that’s always a very interesting story for people to understand how other people get to where they go right because that shows us clues right and there’s clues to success, I know we’ve talked.
16 00:02:25.830 –> 00:02:27.810 Jason Mefford: A little bit about that already right it’s like.
17 00:02:28.020 –> 00:02:43.980 Jason Mefford: You want to be successful, look at what other people are doing, who are successful and try to follow what they’re doing so, so what what’s your story kind of how did, how did you get to this point of of kind of teaching and speaking and sharing these concepts, with people yeah.
18 00:02:44.760 –> 00:03:08.370 Pavel Verbnyak: I was born in small city in North Western part of Russia close to St Petersburg and Finland in in a rigorous family it wasn’t rich I just had my grandfather, and my father, my father passed away when I was seven and I just entered sometimes we didn’t have money to buy clothes or.
19 00:03:08.580 –> 00:03:09.750 Pavel Verbnyak: Something to.
20 00:03:09.840 –> 00:03:19.620 Pavel Verbnyak: We never traveled before and I often listen from my mom that it’s it’s expensive don’t ask for that don’t do that don’t go there.
21 00:03:20.070 –> 00:03:33.960 Pavel Verbnyak: And I wanted to discover what’s the difference between successful productive people and others and back in 2005 I started to read biographies autobiographies books on psychology business and.
22 00:03:35.250 –> 00:03:43.410 Pavel Verbnyak: Marketing and searching for answers I wanted to accelerate and achieve something great in my own life.
23 00:03:43.830 –> 00:03:57.540 Pavel Verbnyak: And I didn’t have money to buy seminars or coaching or workshops I just found the free information in libraries and for a couple of years I didn’t see the difference, I thought.
24 00:03:58.470 –> 00:04:07.950 Pavel Verbnyak: it’s it’s it doesn’t work here in my situation in in Russia, for example, or something like that, but in couple of years, when I look back.
25 00:04:08.370 –> 00:04:25.050 Pavel Verbnyak: I realized wow that works my mindset started to change, and when you develop when you improve your mindset you improve your decisions because you improve your decision you improve your actions and results.
26 00:04:25.470 –> 00:04:36.120 Pavel Verbnyak: And as you said before Jason very, very nicely that success leaves clues and it’s very important to decide exactly what does success mean to me.
27 00:04:36.630 –> 00:04:49.050 Pavel Verbnyak: Because we have billions of people on the planet, and we have billions of definitions of success so it’s very important decide exactly what you want.
28 00:04:50.010 –> 00:04:59.550 Pavel Verbnyak: What kind of values, you have what kind of dreams and goals you have take 100% responsibility for yourself, for your results eliminate.
29 00:05:00.180 –> 00:05:11.640 Pavel Verbnyak: Criticism criticism eliminate blaming others and negative thoughts and words because we become what we think and what we were what we talk about most of the time.
30 00:05:12.570 –> 00:05:22.140 Pavel Verbnyak: Because thoughts have our operation, everything has a vibration and, as you mentioned before, fear have low vibration.
31 00:05:22.770 –> 00:05:31.350 Pavel Verbnyak: But when we grateful when we feel positive when we focus on what we want and how to get this we put the energy there.
32 00:05:32.100 –> 00:05:42.330 Pavel Verbnyak: And the difference between successful people and others that successful people think most of the time about what they want and how to get this.
33 00:05:42.870 –> 00:05:53.760 Pavel Verbnyak: and poor and a negative people think about what what they don’t lie so it’s very important control our thoughts and feed feed your mind with positive.
34 00:05:54.630 –> 00:06:06.090 Pavel Verbnyak: Information be careful what kind of books you read what kind of movies, you watch what kind of songs songs you listen to, because everything has a vibration.
35 00:06:06.660 –> 00:06:17.700 Pavel Verbnyak: And if you listen songs if you listen words, there are a lot of negative words in that, and when you feel that.
36 00:06:18.150 –> 00:06:26.340 Pavel Verbnyak: When you even when, for example, I asked my friend who also speaker and trainer and he invited me to his workshop.
37 00:06:26.760 –> 00:06:37.050 Pavel Verbnyak: And he put the meditation I use meditation for my clients as well, I I practice some I share some tools, but when when he put their.
38 00:06:37.950 –> 00:06:49.950 Pavel Verbnyak: song after and and and said okay go to meditation to the participant, it was dozens of participants after that I asked to him, please don’t.
39 00:06:50.310 –> 00:07:04.290 Pavel Verbnyak: don’t do that because when you listen this song, there are a lot of negative words, but when when the DORSAL in this teta mindset that the waves of your brain, you can program negative.
40 00:07:05.490 –> 00:07:18.660 Pavel Verbnyak: programs in just in that subconscious mind so it’s very important movies words songs so you can come, you can develop that any business skill any any skills are loanable.
41 00:07:19.020 –> 00:07:26.250 Pavel Verbnyak: It could be time management, it could be goal setting it could be creative mindset or interbrand yours entrepreneurs mindset.
42 00:07:26.610 –> 00:07:35.640 Pavel Verbnyak: So start from something, step by step it’s the compound effect it doesn’t really matter where you’re coming from it’s very important where you’re going.
43 00:07:36.120 –> 00:07:43.350 Pavel Verbnyak: So decide exactly what you want, take take 100% responsibility for your results and for your life.
44 00:07:44.040 –> 00:07:56.160 Pavel Verbnyak: and develop yourself constant and never ending improvement take action to your vision take action to your toward your goals, because goals and dreams coming to us for a reason.
45 00:07:56.880 –> 00:08:14.760 Pavel Verbnyak: If we have go if you have this dream came came to us, we have all resources we need to achieve that goal and don’t hesitate don’t afraid to ask for help to ask for recommendations Jason the law of attraction work all the time.
46 00:08:14.880 –> 00:08:37.770 Pavel Verbnyak: So I found your profile on linkedin I decided or I this nothing to lose if I say if I sent a message to Jason and invite him for zoom conversation, and you said yes, why not, but dozens of people before you Jason said no, and it’s okay someone will say no.
47 00:08:37.830 –> 00:08:39.750 Jason Mefford: How can anybody say no to you.
49 00:08:42.510 –> 00:08:50.460 Pavel Verbnyak: But someone it doesn’t really matter what you ask for you ask for help you asked to buy your product or service.
50 00:08:50.820 –> 00:08:58.980 Pavel Verbnyak: Someone will say no i’m not ready, I don’t want to help you i’m not i’m not going to become your mentor I don’t want to become your client.
51 00:08:59.310 –> 00:09:14.160 Pavel Verbnyak: But it’s okay next next next, and you find your perfect client you find your perfect mentor you find friend for life or partner or that’s that’s how we met each other Jason.
52 00:09:14.340 –> 00:09:18.420 Pavel Verbnyak: And I want to inspire our for our followers listeners and viewers.
53 00:09:18.810 –> 00:09:23.670 Pavel Verbnyak: That take action, take action, and you can create a masterpiece from your life.
54 00:09:24.690 –> 00:09:26.400 Jason Mefford: Well, and that’s why it’s it’s a.
55 00:09:27.780 –> 00:09:38.820 Jason Mefford: there’s a lot right there that we need to go and unpack okay so we’re gonna we’re going to come back and talk a lot about some of those things that you just mentioned, but I wanted to to.
56 00:09:40.500 –> 00:09:51.360 Jason Mefford: Go back a little bit and just ask you a few questions because you know the older I get I realized that so many people that are listening.
57 00:09:52.290 –> 00:10:02.730 Jason Mefford: They don’t have the same life experience that I have they don’t have the same life experience that you have they don’t realize how different the world used to be okay.
58 00:10:03.390 –> 00:10:13.920 Jason Mefford: And answer where i’m going is you know, again, you said you grew up in northwestern Russia near Finland St Petersburg beautiful place in the world right.
59 00:10:14.670 –> 00:10:29.970 Jason Mefford: But when you grew up the world was completely different right, I mean when when you and I were born, we would not be having a discussion like this internationally right, we were we were still in the Cold War.
60 00:10:30.510 –> 00:10:35.160 Jason Mefford: Right and and what’s interesting because you know, I was.
61 00:10:36.330 –> 00:10:38.460 Jason Mefford: I was actually in Germany on on.
62 00:10:39.750 –> 00:10:52.890 Jason Mefford: holiday a couple months before the Berlin Wall came down right, and then I lived in Germany for a few years after that there were a lot of Russians that had kind of immigrated before and after the perestroika.
63 00:10:53.790 –> 00:11:06.690 Jason Mefford: stuff that kind of happened there in the late 80s and early 90s, and so you know, again I grew up in America you grew up in Russia under completely completely different.
64 00:11:08.100 –> 00:11:17.490 Jason Mefford: scenarios right and so here i’m sure because because I realized this I just talked to somebody a couple weeks ago that was from Poland.
65 00:11:18.180 –> 00:11:28.680 Jason Mefford: same thing right she grew up she knew what you know Communist Poland was like what it was like afterwards and so that’s a child in Russia.
66 00:11:29.550 –> 00:11:36.870 Jason Mefford: Right, I mean you, this was like this whole thing that you started reading books about was completely foreign.
67 00:11:37.710 –> 00:11:48.060 Jason Mefford: To you right, I mean I don’t know how many people i’ve talked to from Russia and the poverty that you went through you know at different times and even.
68 00:11:48.510 –> 00:12:02.070 Jason Mefford: Even quote unquote after it opened up, it was actually worse for people for for a period of time right so so how did you, you know go from that completely different world to.
69 00:12:02.610 –> 00:12:16.530 Jason Mefford: Having this desire to really improve yourself to read all the books to do what you could do right because, again, most people would say you know screw it Oh, you know.
70 00:12:17.550 –> 00:12:28.020 Jason Mefford: And they wouldn’t have done anything What was it that kind of sparked your got us to go down this path because it sounds like you were doing it pretty early in life to.
71 00:12:28.980 –> 00:12:44.790 Pavel Verbnyak: Thank you Jason yeah you’re right, I was born in 1987 so it was Soviet Union late Soviet Union and 1990s you’re very challenging times before Russia and former Soviet republics.
72 00:12:45.030 –> 00:12:59.010 Pavel Verbnyak: yeah so and holly how I started, you ask this question Jason probably because I had some feelings inside I have that gut feeling that I can do something with my life.
73 00:13:00.480 –> 00:13:17.160 Pavel Verbnyak: If I was born in this city i’m it’s not necessary to live here for ever, and I just wanted to find some answers to my questions, how can I improve my situation, how can I earn more money, how can I.
74 00:13:18.630 –> 00:13:25.860 Pavel Verbnyak: Do something with my personal and professional life and in 1990s in.
75 00:13:27.450 –> 00:13:31.020 Pavel Verbnyak: It wasn’t easy to talk about money.
76 00:13:31.200 –> 00:13:32.130 Pavel Verbnyak: You remember that.
77 00:13:32.940 –> 00:13:34.260 Pavel Verbnyak: That that that.
78 00:13:34.830 –> 00:13:40.980 Pavel Verbnyak: world and nobody was out into bring your business person, because it was dangerous.
79 00:13:41.280 –> 00:14:00.930 Pavel Verbnyak: You know, and it, they will they will a lot of limiting beliefs and fears about that on subconscious level because Soviet Union that Russian speaking society had a lot of crisis’s in the 20th century, two world wars.
80 00:14:01.170 –> 00:14:01.980 Pavel Verbnyak: A lot of.
81 00:14:02.760 –> 00:14:04.020 Pavel Verbnyak: A lot of situations.
82 00:14:04.320 –> 00:14:07.320 Jason Mefford: Poverty poverty and famine and everything.
83 00:14:07.350 –> 00:14:08.850 Pavel Verbnyak: In there as all those world.
84 00:14:08.850 –> 00:14:09.540 Jason Mefford: Wars to.
85 00:14:09.930 –> 00:14:17.700 Pavel Verbnyak: darby and and so on, and to my my generation probably is the shores generation that.
86 00:14:18.720 –> 00:14:31.230 Pavel Verbnyak: weren’t all did you didn’t have don’t don’t have any challenges with food my parents and my grandfather’s had some have had some.
87 00:14:32.220 –> 00:14:58.890 Pavel Verbnyak: very, very a lot of crisis’s in life, it was this nothing to eat and and to probably you know that and and I wanted to do something with that json and probably first books is that I found and I read a book inspired me to discover more two days so so that sits in my head that.
88 00:14:59.550 –> 00:15:01.860 Pavel Verbnyak: During the ears started to grow.
89 00:15:02.520 –> 00:15:20.400 Pavel Verbnyak: So and it’s very important to to support that that sits to to to make them grow and it’s like Chinese Bamboo you don’t see the any results for four years, but on fifth year it grows for.
90 00:15:21.330 –> 00:15:37.890 Pavel Verbnyak: Several fields several meters so it’s like like like this for personality it’s like building this skyscraper you go deep you build the fundamental things and then you start to uh to to build.
91 00:15:38.790 –> 00:16:00.090 Pavel Verbnyak: into the sky, and the same with your personality, the same with the results everything starts inside from inside outside So if you want to create better life more successful more happy more healthy, you should become more successful more wealthy inside so.
92 00:16:01.590 –> 00:16:12.150 Pavel Verbnyak: Constant and never ending improvement that’s, the key to your personal success into your goal achievement, you can you can achieve any goals any goals.
93 00:16:12.720 –> 00:16:24.600 Pavel Verbnyak: As human is predictable is not an accident, you can learn from failures and successes of of of other people because thousands of people came to this journey before.
94 00:16:25.110 –> 00:16:40.350 Pavel Verbnyak: So take their knowledge is take their experiences take everything they developed before find the information find the books find the information in Internet you, you can you can create something.
95 00:16:41.460 –> 00:16:54.690 Pavel Verbnyak: With with their health, so it’s not necessary to create something by yourself, you can you have a great library be behind you, I like to read, I have library here in my room as well.
96 00:16:55.140 –> 00:17:03.060 Pavel Verbnyak: And that’s that’s their stepping point we can have a great mentors if you want to have a mentor.
97 00:17:03.870 –> 00:17:14.880 Pavel Verbnyak: Physical, for example, fitness mentor, for example, Arnold Schwarzenegger you can you can you can take the his book and cover conversation with him.
98 00:17:15.480 –> 00:17:26.010 Pavel Verbnyak: If you want to have a mentor Mother Teresa yes, you can have and have an hour conversation with your or Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela.
99 00:17:26.280 –> 00:17:39.030 Pavel Verbnyak: or Warren Buffett it doesn’t really matter, but you have all the tools, all the information that can help you and, as you said before ask ask ask ask for what you want, ask for help.
100 00:17:39.480 –> 00:17:48.840 Pavel Verbnyak: Ask great questions, because when you ask great questions you will you will start to process to find right answers.
101 00:17:49.530 –> 00:17:55.950 Pavel Verbnyak: And it’s it’s it’s like navigator system in your car if you decide exactly what you want.
102 00:17:56.340 –> 00:18:06.420 Pavel Verbnyak: For example, you want to double your income for you in a year or improve your relationships with your spouse or improve your health or build your business.
103 00:18:06.990 –> 00:18:19.020 Pavel Verbnyak: There are thousands of books on these topics are there are a lot of people in linkedin in Facebook, you can ask for zoom call you can ask for what you want well.
104 00:18:19.980 –> 00:18:33.090 Pavel Verbnyak: ask for what you want, and it doesn’t really matter if they say no, you had no in your pocket ask another person ask another person and it’s the compound effect, you will find dance where.
105 00:18:34.170 –> 00:18:38.880 Jason Mefford: Well, I think that’s important you know what a lot of what you said there because I wanna I want to kind of.
106 00:18:40.080 –> 00:18:42.180 Jason Mefford: pause and and.
107 00:18:43.260 –> 00:18:53.700 Jason Mefford: And kind of you know recap, a little bit of what you said because there’s a lot of really important things there that you just said that people might have glossed over you know, like you said is.
108 00:18:54.210 –> 00:19:04.410 Jason Mefford: Is you know when when our grandparents were alive, it was a much different world right, I mean my my grandparents grew up in the great depression, so it was kind of.
109 00:19:05.490 –> 00:19:13.890 Jason Mefford: Some of the equivalent they didn’t have food they were moving around they lost everything you know that that happened here in the early 20th century in America but.
110 00:19:14.490 –> 00:19:24.450 Jason Mefford: They didn’t have the access to the books, they didn’t have access to podcasts to YouTube to the Internet that we have today right, I mean really.
111 00:19:25.020 –> 00:19:38.190 Jason Mefford: Late 90s early 2000s That was when the Internet really kind of came out and we have the ability, now, and this is what I think is so beautiful like you said if if you’d like some guidance from Martin Luther King jr.
112 00:19:39.660 –> 00:19:51.480 Jason Mefford: The dude gave plenty of speeches and wrote enough stuff that you can get inspired by him if you spend time with him.
113 00:19:52.050 –> 00:20:04.830 Jason Mefford: Yes, even though he’s no longer physically on this planet, you can still spend time with him, you can spend time with Mother Teresa the fact that you’re listening to this podcast means that you’re spending time with us right now.
114 00:20:05.280 –> 00:20:20.400 Jason Mefford: Right and and and just the amazing opportunity that we have today for all of this information because, like you said you know if if you had been born 100 years before.
115 00:20:21.480 –> 00:20:27.930 Jason Mefford: You would not have had access to these things that started to plant, the seed in your brain.
116 00:20:28.530 –> 00:20:39.570 Jason Mefford: And and and that’s where I kind of wanted to go a little bit too because something else that you brought up I hadn’t heard the the analogy of the Chinese Bamboo I didn’t realize it, it took so long until like the fifth year.
117 00:20:40.890 –> 00:20:48.930 Jason Mefford: But you know I don’t know if you see this from people you work with or not, but especially when it comes to kind of personal development.
118 00:20:49.830 –> 00:21:00.150 Jason Mefford: I think that Chinese Bamboo or the skyscraper are great analogies because it takes so much time and nurturing at the beginning.
119 00:21:01.080 –> 00:21:17.310 Jason Mefford: To set the Foundation to start changing yourself internally that, unfortunately, a lot of people give up before they get the Foundation built right they’ll they’ll be really motivated for like two weeks.
120 00:21:18.420 –> 00:21:28.320 Jason Mefford: Right like like i’m going to get fit i’m gonna go get Arnold schwarzenegger’s book and i’m going to read it and i’m going to i’m going to start pumping iron, you know and and but then two weeks later.
121 00:21:29.430 –> 00:21:35.790 Jason Mefford: Most people have kind of quit I think right is that is that kind of what you’ve you’ve seen as well.
122 00:21:36.480 –> 00:21:57.600 Pavel Verbnyak: yeah yes, yes Jason Thank you so much, and you’re right, we are so blessed having these kinds of opportunities to grow to achieve your church to achieve our goals, faster and easier than ever before, and a lot of people take this for granted, but when we are grateful for when we.
123 00:21:58.830 –> 00:22:09.210 Pavel Verbnyak: When we grateful for we cannot have a fear when we grateful for we attract a lot of situations that are in harmony with our gratitude.
124 00:22:10.080 –> 00:22:27.450 Pavel Verbnyak: And, and we attract circumstances people and opportunities that are in harmony with our thoughts and our goals, so forming habits takes time and 95% of our life.
125 00:22:28.770 –> 00:22:37.710 Pavel Verbnyak: controls by our habits so successful people have successful habits unsuccessful people have unsuccessful habits.
126 00:22:38.490 –> 00:22:44.790 Pavel Verbnyak: I wake up at 5am Jason and I invest first couple of hours in myself.
127 00:22:45.300 –> 00:22:55.650 Pavel Verbnyak: So it helps me very much it helps to develop my self esteem and self confidence and be productive during the day and be focused on what I want and how to get this.
128 00:22:56.100 –> 00:23:05.490 Pavel Verbnyak: What do I want during these two hours it doesn’t really matter Jason you can dear friends, who listen to us it, you can invest just five or 10 minutes.
129 00:23:06.090 –> 00:23:14.490 Pavel Verbnyak: In yourself start with two minutes that with five minutes just do something every single day it’s philosophy called Kaiser.
130 00:23:15.210 –> 00:23:26.400 Pavel Verbnyak: constant improvement small steps, for example, you can it’s not necessarily to wake up at 5am as I do, for example, if you wake up at 8pm.
131 00:23:27.180 –> 00:23:38.370 Pavel Verbnyak: Tomorrow wake up at 755 and invest five minutes in yourself do something for yourself, you can read book my motivational positive book.
132 00:23:39.030 –> 00:23:45.930 Pavel Verbnyak: You can do some physical exercises I do physical exercise it doesn’t really matter what’s the weather outside.
133 00:23:46.650 –> 00:23:53.490 Pavel Verbnyak: Today today is very snowing in Moscow, but I wake woke up and I went for for the runs running session.
134 00:23:54.300 –> 00:24:03.300 Pavel Verbnyak: And it’s done cinema it’s raining it’s cold it’s warm it’s hard I go for some exercises, because I do something for my body.
135 00:24:03.990 –> 00:24:13.260 Pavel Verbnyak: Every single day I do something for my mind intellectually, so I read a book or listen podcast or listen audio book.
136 00:24:13.860 –> 00:24:27.900 Pavel Verbnyak: But some days I have empty days I don’t listen I don’t read because it’s like an informational diet it’s very important for our mind to relax, because if we eat.
137 00:24:28.470 –> 00:24:37.860 Pavel Verbnyak: Every single minute it’s not it’s not enough time for for digestion digestion right, and the same with the information.
138 00:24:38.460 –> 00:24:48.180 Pavel Verbnyak: You have all the answers you have but listen to listen to your heart gut feeling listen to your heart listen listen to your passion inside.
139 00:24:48.750 –> 00:24:56.550 Pavel Verbnyak: and develop yourself, step by step, so so decide exactly what you want, and, for example, it could be.
140 00:24:57.360 –> 00:25:11.250 Pavel Verbnyak: One habit that you bring to form during next month, it could be reading books, it could be exercising it could be meditation it could be visualization it could be affirmations just choose something.
141 00:25:11.850 –> 00:25:27.930 Pavel Verbnyak: There are dozens of books, hundreds of thousands of books on self made millionaires so we know exactly who they are, what they read what they look like what they daily rituals so model them success leaves clues.
142 00:25:28.110 –> 00:25:45.930 Pavel Verbnyak: As you said before Jason so it’s not an accident it’s not it’s predictable, so you can create a masterpiece from your life, the everything starts here in your mind then take a pen and paper and write down what you want.
143 00:25:47.010 –> 00:25:57.180 Pavel Verbnyak: write down your dream life write down your life in financial in relationships fear in health and fitness in your habits and javelin.
144 00:25:57.690 –> 00:26:11.850 Pavel Verbnyak: In everything so imagine bit easier lies that don’t think about how you’re going to do that don’t think about, but you start to attract in your life people books information circumstances.
145 00:26:12.360 –> 00:26:28.410 Pavel Verbnyak: That are in harmony with your goals and vision, so I write I write down my goals regularly before I did that every single day, every morning Now I do maybe every couple of days, but I reprogram my subconscious mind.
146 00:26:29.340 –> 00:26:42.510 Pavel Verbnyak: And I take action in that direction and I see that my life getting better and better every single day and i’m becoming better and better as a person every single day.
147 00:26:42.930 –> 00:26:53.820 Pavel Verbnyak: Because when we provide much more value to people we get we return we get something from from the universe, as we, as we discussed.
148 00:26:54.180 –> 00:27:06.840 Pavel Verbnyak: Nice quote of our mutual friend and mentor with you Jason before the podcast show started Ziegler said, we can have everything we want, if you help enough people to get what they want.
149 00:27:07.350 –> 00:27:19.680 Pavel Verbnyak: So provide more value provide more value with your service with your product, and you will you will become financial free, you will become happy healthy wealthy.
150 00:27:20.460 –> 00:27:30.390 Pavel Verbnyak: and wise so decide exactly who you want to be and take action from where you are and with what you have right now don’t wait for.
151 00:27:30.960 –> 00:27:40.740 Pavel Verbnyak: The perfect situation it’s never it’s never going to be like that start with with now the power of the present moment the power of now.
152 00:27:41.130 –> 00:27:58.380 Pavel Verbnyak: Because a lot of people worrying about the past, we don’t have already and a lot of people worrying about the future, we don’t have yet, but what we have it’s now in our life Jason is what this conversation you and me.
153 00:27:59.010 –> 00:28:01.530 Jason Mefford: huh Well, this is the only thing that’s happening right.
154 00:28:01.530 –> 00:28:08.880 Jason Mefford: Now right in our world is this is this present and it, you know it’s interesting because, again as as.
155 00:28:10.020 –> 00:28:15.300 Jason Mefford: As you’re talking right and again folks this is maybe one of those where you want to go back and listen to this again because.
156 00:28:16.500 –> 00:28:29.010 Jason Mefford: I don’t think you realize how much wisdom and knowledge just got dropped in the last couple of minutes as you were sitting there listening right but let’s let’s let’s take this apart, a little bit too, because a couple of the things that you said, and you mentioned.
157 00:28:29.730 –> 00:28:33.960 Jason Mefford: kind of the self subconscious reprogramming right, and the fact that.
158 00:28:34.410 –> 00:28:43.290 Jason Mefford: You know, again, one of the reasons why we’re talking about doing some of these things like reading some of the books and the music that you’re listening to is because.
159 00:28:44.070 –> 00:28:56.250 Jason Mefford: Whether you realize it or not, everything that you’re consuming mentally yeah is, in my opinion, more important, even than what you’re consuming physically.
160 00:28:56.820 –> 00:29:11.250 Jason Mefford: You know so many people know hey I need to avoid that kind of food because it’s maybe not good for my body right and so i’ll just take an example of like sugar right we all love sugar I love sugar.
161 00:29:12.240 –> 00:29:16.200 Jason Mefford: But we know right it wouldn’t be healthy for me.
162 00:29:17.460 –> 00:29:24.930 Jason Mefford: To just sit around and eat sugar all day my body needs other things right, but mentally.
163 00:29:25.650 –> 00:29:36.000 Jason Mefford: Right, and this is where, again, maybe just kind of slowing down on your first five minutes, you know that you that you choose to do is what am I actually consuming.
164 00:29:36.750 –> 00:29:46.740 Jason Mefford: And Should I be consuming something different, because, like you said you know you brought in that the example of your friend, you know where they were doing meditation and then he was playing a song.
165 00:29:47.430 –> 00:29:56.640 Jason Mefford: And, and again, you know what we put in our minds is how we’re programming ourself from the inside out.
166 00:29:57.240 –> 00:30:01.950 Jason Mefford: And so the fact that you know they went through this whole meditation that part of it was good.
167 00:30:02.580 –> 00:30:08.880 Jason Mefford: But then, if they’re feeding themselves some music, maybe from a lyric perspective that’s actually.
168 00:30:09.540 –> 00:30:16.860 Jason Mefford: You know programming some of those bad things in right, I mean it’s in hey I love rock and roll I love heavy metal.
169 00:30:17.790 –> 00:30:29.820 Jason Mefford: Some but but there’s certain times when that’s not what I should be listening to right, I need to be balancing what i’m putting into my mind.
170 00:30:30.450 –> 00:30:40.920 Jason Mefford: And so, a lot of these things that we’re talking about right that helped you to plant, the seeds, those were things you were consciously putting into place right.
171 00:30:41.610 –> 00:30:49.230 Jason Mefford: Because again there’s there’s all kinds of music there’s books there’s there’s videos you know, so how does, how does somebody kind of decide because.
172 00:30:49.650 –> 00:30:59.130 Jason Mefford: I think this is one of the it’s it’s a blessing that we have the Internet like we have now, but I think sometimes it’s kind of a curse because.
173 00:30:59.550 –> 00:31:07.110 Jason Mefford: People feel like they’re just overwhelmed and they don’t know where to go, so how are some ways that people can kind of figure out.
174 00:31:08.070 –> 00:31:20.040 Jason Mefford: what’s what’s the right content for me to consume or where should I kind of go do you give people kind of advice on how to how to actually figure out what’s best for them yeah yeah.
175 00:31:20.280 –> 00:31:24.600 Pavel Verbnyak: You said you said very, very, very nicely Jason about.
176 00:31:26.190 –> 00:31:35.910 Pavel Verbnyak: We are responsible, what kind of information, we put in our mind, and they are always connection with between mind and body mind body connection.
177 00:31:36.360 –> 00:31:43.890 Pavel Verbnyak: And you should put are like a guardian or keeper that control the information you put in yourself so.
178 00:31:44.460 –> 00:31:51.660 Pavel Verbnyak: I would suggest that listen to your heart, you know exactly what you like to do and what’s good for you or not not good for you.
179 00:31:52.320 –> 00:32:05.700 Pavel Verbnyak: And the same with food, the same with books, the same bit of information, the same with people you surround yourself with so Jim RON said that we are something average five.
180 00:32:05.730 –> 00:32:07.020 Jason Mefford: People we assign people.
181 00:32:07.470 –> 00:32:28.380 Pavel Verbnyak: yeah we we communicate with So if you think about five people, you have a conversation during the week or day you’re something average your salary income about the same your goals and dreams about the same so just start with something if you’ve never read if you’ve never.
182 00:32:29.850 –> 00:32:49.740 Pavel Verbnyak: Had a habit of reading start with something read 123 pages every single day, and you will like it your mindset started to change that to change your actions your decisions that to change but choose.
183 00:32:51.690 –> 00:32:53.820 Pavel Verbnyak: wisely the books.
184 00:32:54.930 –> 00:33:04.800 Pavel Verbnyak: Read, who is the author a he is good in this, for example, nonfiction book he he he he succeeded in this topic or not.
185 00:33:05.280 –> 00:33:18.090 Pavel Verbnyak: What kind of his clients talking about here man would you would you like to have him as our role model in something if not probably you should choose something else to read, but.
186 00:33:19.980 –> 00:33:36.420 Pavel Verbnyak: As we started to discuss some books Jason i’m an author of several books as well, but I would suggest to read, first of all classics of personal development are Napoleon hill think and grow rich.
187 00:33:39.480 –> 00:33:40.380 Pavel Verbnyak: James silent.
188 00:33:41.550 –> 00:33:42.660 Jason Mefford: there’s a man think of.
189 00:33:42.840 –> 00:33:58.860 Pavel Verbnyak: Yes, yes psychic kinda matrix Maxwell malls dreamer on Brian Tracy maximum achievement absolutely my great friend and mentor jack canfield the success principles.
190 00:34:00.060 –> 00:34:17.970 Pavel Verbnyak: that’s the basic of psychology of success that hundreds of other books of Tony robbins w Clement stone and Ziegler zoomer on and so on, but Stephen covey but start with something read, for example, one book per month.
191 00:34:18.990 –> 00:34:27.030 Pavel Verbnyak: Imagine you know here, you will have 12 books already right yeah different you become different DORSAL.
192 00:34:27.720 –> 00:34:39.570 Pavel Verbnyak: You increase your salary you increase your self esteem self confidence you develop yourself, and there are lots of benefits you you start to and.
193 00:34:40.200 –> 00:34:50.700 Pavel Verbnyak: If it is, if you discover people who live long enough for example centenarian and they read a lot they develop their mindset there they like to.
194 00:34:51.480 –> 00:35:00.450 Pavel Verbnyak: build develop their neural connections in the brain and that’s the key that’s that’s good for your for your health that’s good for your.
195 00:35:01.080 –> 00:35:23.400 Pavel Verbnyak: clarity of your mind and and thought process process so that’s that’s the perfect that’s i’m so so so happy that I learned this early enough, but never too late, if you’re 50 if you’re 60 if you 70 start start start with something now start with where you are with with what you have.
196 00:35:24.420 –> 00:35:30.870 Jason Mefford: Well, I think it’s funny because, as you were talking, you know, and this this happens to me every so often, so I kind of go off the rails a little bit or.
197 00:35:32.070 –> 00:35:40.860 Jason Mefford: go down rabbit holes but but, as you were talking It reminded me of an experience I had when I was a young young boy.
198 00:35:41.520 –> 00:35:49.230 Jason Mefford: Is you know I grew up we had we had a dog when I was when I was younger and I remember, we were we were outside.
199 00:35:49.890 –> 00:35:54.120 Jason Mefford: gardening or doing something I was probably helping my mother plant flowers.
200 00:35:54.780 –> 00:36:03.540 Jason Mefford: And, and I remember you know, we had a dog, I mean there was dog food bowl you know where it would go to get food that we put out for it.
201 00:36:04.200 –> 00:36:21.990 Jason Mefford: And I remember, as we were sitting there planning the flowers, I saw our dog go over into the grass and start eating grass and i’m like mom, why is the dog eating grass right and she just goes, you know dogs know what they need.
202 00:36:23.940 –> 00:36:33.930 Jason Mefford: And, for whatever reason, our dog at that time felt like it needed to go eat a little bit of grass I don’t know, maybe I had an upset stomach or whatever else but.
203 00:36:34.710 –> 00:36:48.720 Jason Mefford: Animals are usually in touch with their feelings and know what feels right to them yeah as humans, we think we’re so goddamn smart that we’re stuck in our head all the time.
204 00:36:49.560 –> 00:36:58.050 Jason Mefford: Right and the hardest path is to go from your head to your heart, which is where you actually feel right so so you were talking about that I was, I was thinking you know.
205 00:36:59.460 –> 00:37:08.130 Jason Mefford: One way for people just to try to figure out what is it that I need to do well ask yourself the question, what do I need.
206 00:37:08.760 –> 00:37:16.320 Jason Mefford: And then go with a feeling right again maybe if some of these authors that we talked to you, maybe, maybe that’s what jumps out at you.
207 00:37:16.710 –> 00:37:32.070 Jason Mefford: Maybe there’s you know, a certain kind of music or an artist or something that if you’re just quiet and listen to yourself you’re going to know what’s right for you at the time right, I mean so again like.
208 00:37:33.210 –> 00:37:36.510 Jason Mefford: I have this knife that I love, I was sharpening my knife on the weekend.
209 00:37:37.590 –> 00:37:40.230 Jason Mefford: And I was listening to Gregorian chant music.
210 00:37:42.090 –> 00:37:44.700 Jason Mefford: It you know real macho manly thing of.
211 00:37:44.700 –> 00:37:49.710 Jason Mefford: sharpen a knife, and here I am listening to monks chant.
212 00:37:49.890 –> 00:38:02.940 Jason Mefford: right but that’s what I felt like I needed to hear at that time right, so I turned it on So what if we could be more like the animals that way and just kind of feel into it.
213 00:38:03.450 –> 00:38:14.850 Jason Mefford: And kind of on the flip side you know, is, I know, sometimes people, maybe, maybe you’re feeling like you’re angry all the time I don’t understand why i’m angry all the time.
214 00:38:16.140 –> 00:38:21.420 Jason Mefford: Well let’s talk about that Jim rowan five five people right you’re the you’re the makeup of the five.
215 00:38:21.630 –> 00:38:29.040 Jason Mefford: People you hang out with the most ask yourself the question or the people i’m hanging out with are they angry all the time.
216 00:38:29.880 –> 00:38:47.490 Jason Mefford: Because if they’re angry all the time, or if you’re always you know reading social media posts of people that are angry and complaining about everything and that’s where you go all the time it’s probably not a surprise why you’re angry all the time right.
217 00:38:47.910 –> 00:38:54.090 Jason Mefford: If you’re listening to angry music all the time you’re probably going to be angry and so, but again, you get to choose.
218 00:38:54.180 –> 00:38:56.280 Jason Mefford: right on what it is that you’re going to consume.
219 00:38:56.790 –> 00:39:09.720 Pavel Verbnyak: Yes, yes Jason yo you’re right and it’s very important to invest some time during the day with yourself without podcast without radio without TV Without Internet.
220 00:39:10.350 –> 00:39:21.450 Pavel Verbnyak: Just be with yourself just 15 minutes or 20 minutes or 30 minutes if you don’t have 15 or 30 minutes for yourself, you don’t have a life so a lot of people.
221 00:39:22.200 –> 00:39:36.510 Pavel Verbnyak: in a hurry they go somewhere they listen something they but they don’t have this time for themselves, as you said before, ask for what you need ask for what you want, but.
222 00:39:37.230 –> 00:39:50.640 Pavel Verbnyak: How you’re going to listen, the answer if you’re with someone or with something in your in your hear yours, so it could be just meditation or walking around the park.
223 00:39:51.120 –> 00:40:01.950 Pavel Verbnyak: Just with yourself a lot of people cannot do that they want something they turn on radio they turn on audio boom they don’t on Lisa.
224 00:40:02.850 –> 00:40:18.960 Pavel Verbnyak: song some music in the car but it’s very important to be with ourselves, I little bit without anything it’s like our stomach needs to relax need sometimes without food, just to digest the food.
225 00:40:19.740 –> 00:40:34.620 Pavel Verbnyak: That we already eaten before the same with information, this same with our mind it’s because it’s very energy consuming if we listen every all the time, audio book Oh, I want to learn something I want to.
226 00:40:35.040 –> 00:40:49.170 Pavel Verbnyak: develop myself, I want to listen interview, I want to listen to podcast but it’s okay if sometimes some days you don’t have you don’t have the information.
227 00:40:49.920 –> 00:40:57.780 Pavel Verbnyak: There are a lot of retreats there are a lot of vipassana in something, but you can do do your own vipassana for 30 minutes every single day.
228 00:40:58.200 –> 00:41:09.600 Pavel Verbnyak: And you will love that time you will want to have this morning 30 minutes for yourself or morning or evening time just just be yourself or Jordan early or.
229 00:41:10.710 –> 00:41:25.260 Pavel Verbnyak: meditating meditation or visualization or something like that just choose that tool, you would love to and just take responsibility to form this habit to spend some time to yourself.
230 00:41:26.340 –> 00:41:40.980 Jason Mefford: yeah and I think that’s important because what you know from a learning perspective because i’ve spent my whole career pretty much teaching people is that you know there’s a big difference between information and actually learning right and and that.
231 00:41:42.120 –> 00:41:55.230 Jason Mefford: That just like just like with our food, you know we we consume food, then we have to let it digest and do what it needs to do in our body it’s the same thing mentally we consume.
232 00:41:55.740 –> 00:42:09.210 Jason Mefford: And because the learning really comes from that time of reflection and integration of the knowledge into what we do and then the actual exercising and practicing of it.
233 00:42:09.840 –> 00:42:18.780 Jason Mefford: Until you take that time to reflect, and until you actually take time to do something about the information you learn.
234 00:42:19.590 –> 00:42:32.430 Jason Mefford: You don’t really actually learn it or incorporated so that that downtime is so important in fact there’s a concept that I that I was taught have kind of a call to content fast.
235 00:42:33.660 –> 00:42:40.050 Jason Mefford: Which is very similar to you know a lot of people are doing intermittent fasting and that’s it ends with eating.
236 00:42:40.260 –> 00:42:42.600 Jason Mefford: yeah it’s the same kind of an idea.
237 00:42:43.230 –> 00:42:45.090 Jason Mefford: mentally or you know.
238 00:42:46.170 –> 00:42:58.140 Jason Mefford: Because you know I think you kind of mentioned there’s a lot of there’s a lot of people that always want to have noise going on, because they’re uncomfortable being with themselves.
239 00:42:58.200 –> 00:43:15.060 Jason Mefford: Yes, but we have to take that time for ourselves, even if it’s only a couple minutes a day yeah to at least start doing that because that’s, the only way we get from our head to our heart and we start feeling and understanding what it is that we actually yeah.
240 00:43:15.780 –> 00:43:28.230 Pavel Verbnyak: Absolutely absolutely and just enjoy the process, a lot of people who, who are listening cars are result oriented people they love to set, and it goes there cashier’s.
241 00:43:28.260 –> 00:43:30.900 Pavel Verbnyak: check yeah but it’s a kid just.
242 00:43:30.960 –> 00:43:34.860 Pavel Verbnyak: Just to go for a walk and just read the book just.
243 00:43:36.060 –> 00:43:43.230 Pavel Verbnyak: Just enjoy the process enjoy the life and and it’s very important to do something for yourself.
244 00:43:44.220 –> 00:43:56.550 Pavel Verbnyak: Before our conversation today, I spent three hours with my chiropractor with my mentor on health and I did something for my body, because I know.
245 00:43:57.240 –> 00:44:08.820 Pavel Verbnyak: How it’s important to to do something, because as, as I mentioned before we have mind body connection and to have a clear mind to have good health good mood.
246 00:44:09.390 –> 00:44:21.240 Pavel Verbnyak: I should do something for my for my body for for my physical and into the end emotional state and it’s very important to do something differently.
247 00:44:22.290 –> 00:44:28.980 Pavel Verbnyak: So go maybe in a different city go for for the trip go for here.
248 00:44:30.030 –> 00:44:43.380 Pavel Verbnyak: For them in a new restaurant or or in an author or theater or a new restaurant that’s how we create you and your connection that’s we become more creative people.
249 00:44:43.800 –> 00:44:52.740 Pavel Verbnyak: person and we become more happy person because Aristotle said that the purpose of our life is to become how.
250 00:44:53.640 –> 00:45:10.560 Pavel Verbnyak: happy and when we are happy when they grow when we develop ourselves, and we getting closer to our goals, and when we provide value to others so develop yourself and provide more value that’s how you become more happy yourself yeah.
251 00:45:10.770 –> 00:45:11.130 Jason Mefford: It is.
252 00:45:12.360 –> 00:45:15.240 Jason Mefford: Oh, my my mind, well, we could talk for hours.
253 00:45:16.590 –> 00:45:32.430 Jason Mefford: But I know we’ve got other stuff we’ve got to get back to, and I know people that are listening have to as well, so maybe maybe any any any final final thoughts from you and also just kind of let people know how you know how they can reach out to you as well.
254 00:45:33.510 –> 00:45:40.980 Pavel Verbnyak: Jason starts to fall, thank you very much for a great conversation you’re a great person to talk with and I.
255 00:45:41.190 –> 00:45:44.430 Jason Mefford: Just here listening, I believe we are on the.
256 00:45:44.430 –> 00:45:46.080 Pavel Verbnyak: same wave.
257 00:45:46.380 –> 00:45:51.000 Pavel Verbnyak: And this, a lot of mutual values and vision.

My friend Gina Hansen recently interviewed me for her podcast: Grow Intentionally. Here’s what she said.
“Jason Mefford is an amazing Executive Coach, Edutainer and Podcast Host. He’s interviewed me recently for his “Jamming with Jason” podcast and now it’s time to turn the tables and put him on the hot seat.
On this episode, we speak about personal development through career training, coaching, and relationships. For the first time, he explained his multi-sensory approach to learning on a podcast: See it, say it, hear it, write it.
You’ll enjoy Jason’s playful nature and stories as we talk about self-discovery and learning.
When you hear reference to “TCP” during the episode that is the Transformational Coaching Program with Jim Fortin, where Gina and Jason met.
