busy all right we'll take it away awesome so I'm going to start with h Helen Keller your success and happiness lie in you and sometimes it doesn't feel that way especially when there's a lot of craziness going on in the world it seems like what's going on outside of us has a whole lot of effect to what's going on inside of us so today I'm going to teach you how to shift that so your days can be happier and you can find more success and uh the future can be brighter for you so on the next slide I have a question for you which is what type of Life do you want and uh ginger for some reason that question's not coming up maybe it needs another click but what type of Life do you want there you go a life of and I would like you to just type in the chat there's no wrong answer but what kind of Life do you want a life of give me an idea just put one word in there awesome balance Joy meaning happiness stressfree passion travel abundance contentment happy awesome I love those gratitude very nice all right well joy Okay cool so today we're talking about uh creating the life that we want and what I chose on my next slide is that I wanted a life of choice and choice comes from a few different things sure it can come from being financially successful right that can give you some options but even more important than having money is how you feel on the inside out and how you think and how you react to things and really finding that success and happiness within yourself and so today I'm going to teach you how you can live a life of choice in maybe a different way than you've ever heard before so on the next slide is just a little intro and ginger covered some of this but I am a speaker and an author and a mind change coach and teacher but I didn't always do this in my former life on the next slide you'll see what I used to do uh I was a top producing realtor here in San Diego for 13 years and I found a lot of success in that business but the problem was it wasn't really my passion and I was just doing it for the money and there's only so long you can just do stuff for the money and so I really wanted to find my passion but I didn't know what it was so I went searching for my passion um on the next slide you will see my greatest claim to fame this is my sweet family uh my husband and four kids and the the hairy guy on the end of my son-in-law so today on the next slide you'll see that you know there's some stressful times going on we've got um pandemic we've got War we've got inflation uh isolation I mean all this stuff can really weigh on us and so how do we turn it around uh on the next slide I've got a picture of my toes and a Ruba how do we live a life of choice when all these things are going on so on the next slide I'll show you what I'm going to cover today I'm going to talk about how you live that life of choice I'm going to talk about the science of success I'm going to talk about how your beliefs create your reality I'm going to talk about how to create a life of choice from the inside out and then I'm going to offer you some free resources to help you live your best life from today moving forward all right so we got a lot to learn in uh 25 minutes so buckle up so here's how I learned what I do now uh it wasn't from a college course it was from a bad accident I had in 2013 I jumped a little too far and uh we had to call LifeLight and these rescue workers got called in to try to get me off the mountain and uh when they couldn't get me off the mountain on the next slide uh LifeLight had to come get me and that's me dangling from the helicopter with a doctor attached to me their ziplining me up and taking me to the hospital and when I got there they told me I had broken my back and uh when you break your back you get some thinking time right and I thought man I really want to have that life of success and happiness from the inside out I don't just want to look successful I don't want to just act successful I don't want to just have money in my bank account I want to be like truly joyful and I didn't know how to create that I mean I've been saying positive affirmations in the mirror for 20 years I'm happy and I'm healthy and I'm terrific but I really wasn't and I didn't know how to switch it so I would start to feel that way but first I needed to fix my back so on the next slide what did I do I tried all those natural ways to heal and on the next slide I tried some not so natural ways to heal that's my back they put in some rods and screws and synthetic disc got a fusion that's still there today and unfortunately it didn't help and so I'm about three years into this accident I can't sit I can't drive I can't function and the doctors tell me there's nothing more they can do and they're just going to keep giving me more and more pain pills so on the next slide you will see a bunch of pain pills that they prescribed to me uh but the good news is that these pain pills are dumped in my garden and why are they dumped in my garden well because on the next slide you'll see that I met this guy that changed my life this guy's name is Dr Warren Jacobs he's a medical doctor Doctor Who lives right here in San Diego and he literally lived about a mile from my house and he told me that he could help me change my thinking and it would heal my body it would get rid of my pain it would it would fix whatever I wanted to fix about my life and I didn't really believe him it sounded too good to be true and I didn't really understand how he would do what he was saying he would do but on the next slide you'll see what happened to me after working with him um I was actually completely healed I had no more pain and so I took my best friend down to Mission Bay and we started doing back bends and handstands because not only could I sit now I could even do yoga tricks so I became fascinated with the power of my mind because of this healing that happened to me and then he helped me get off of pain pills which I was addicted to and it seemed so quick and easy when I tried to do it myself it was impossible but when he taught me how to tap into this power of my mind I could do it on the next slide another one of the best things besides being healed and getting over my addiction was I didn't used to get along with my husband for like 20 years and he was able to help me change my thinking and change my perception and our our marriage turned into a happily ever after and maybe this all sounds too good to be true I kind of thought so too I was so fascinated with it that I literally sold my real estate company and sold my home and had to fire my housekeeper because I was going to study the mind and see how he had helped me transform my life so I could help other people do the same so on the next slide I'm going to teach you a very important rule it's called the 17 second rule uh if you click it again Ginger it might give you the words on there sorry some of these I don't know why it takes two clicks so here's the 17 second rule and I want you to pay close attention to this because this rule can change your life when you have a thought it's an electrical signal in your brain for 17 seconds that's all it is but When the Thought goes on for more than 17 seconds it turns into a chemical reaction within your body so you start to feel equal to the way you're thinking so pretty soon you're thinking it and now you're feeling it well as soon as you start to feel it this attracts like thought so basically your brain is proving to you why what you're thinking and feeling is true and if this goes on for more than 68 seconds it changes your energy field it changes what you attract and it changes what you manifest in your life so basically this all has to do with this reticular activating system in your brain which has it it notices certain things for example when you get a new car you start to see that car more often right it's in your field of perception in your field field of awareness well the same thing happens in your life if you think that for example some one of your co-workers just doesn't appreciate you if that becomes your belief that part of your brain the reticular activating system will constantly look for proof of why this is true so how do you turn it around when you really don't think they appreciate you how do you see it in a different way well I'm going to teach you how to do it today not just with your co-workers but anywhere in your life and it starts with your thinking like we talked about in the 172 Rule and Dr Joe despenza in this quote says that we don't have to settle for our present reality we can create a new one anytime we want and if we really realize the power of our thinking we would never let a second go by that we weren't consciously creating what we want instead of fretting about what we don't want what brings about more of what we don't want so remember remember the 17 second rule you can only be negative for 17 seconds or less before it starts to become your reality so that is your conscious mind that's how you deal with your conscious mind and that's how you change your conscious mind it's like training a puppy right you have to tell it uhuh don't go over there we're not going negative today we're going to turn this around now the problem is psychologists say we have 50,000 to 880,000 thoughts per day and about 80% of them negative and about 90% of them a repeat of yesterday so it gets a little bit exhausting to keep catching your thoughts and turn them around and turn them around and turn them around sometimes you might just give up on it and just go down that negative thinking Rabbit Hole so today I'm going to teach you how to change another part of your brain so you can really live that life of success and happiness and on the next slide I call it the three secrets to creating a life of choice so on the next slide you have two minds and that is the first secret that you need to know you've got that conscious mind and subconscious mind and on the next slide it shows a little image you might have seen this before in a presentation it's a Iceberg right and our conscious mind represents what we see what's in our awareness and our subconscious mind represents what's underneath the surface so our conscious mind controls our conscious decisions and our conscious thinking but our subconscious mind controls everything we don't really realize that's happening right now like our heart beating and our hair growing and our lunge digesting right it's all subconscious but what I discovered through this process is that our subconscious also controls how we think and feel and act and react and what we create and what we manifest in our life and so the power of the subconscious mind you'll see on the next slide Dr Bruce Lipton teaches us he's a cellular biologist that the subconscious mind is a million times more powerful than the conscious mind so if you think about it if that subconscious mind is like Niagara Falls in the picture there and the conscious mind is like that boat trying to get near the the water get near the Falls where is there more power clearly it's in the water in the falls right and that's how your subconscious is so if you look at your life your life is a print out of your Niagara Falls your subconscious beliefs and anything you don't like in your life is because you don't have a subconscious program to support it and anything that's natural and easy for you you do have a program to support it so those are your two minds so next is secret number two and secret number two is that you were programmed and you were programmed you'll see on the next slide when you were just a little kid when you were literally in your mother's womb until you about seven or eight years old everything you saw and experienced became your program whether positive or negative it didn't matter and so now your life is really a print out of that programming unless you try to change it and there's different ways to change it one is consciously to try to switch it but again that's hard because the subconscious keeps taking over so the next secret secret number number three is that you can actually change that subconscious programming and I'm going to show you how to do it today so uh let me uh sorry I I scrolled and lost my place here on the slides okay perfect okay so you can reprogram your mind just like you can reprogram a computer and how do you do it well you've got to open something called your brain Bridge your Corpus colossum it separates both hemispheres of the brain and when you're born there's literally this super highway of neural connections and the older you get the more it becomes like a brick wall you get a little more set in your ways and so if you go to the next slide you'll see that picture of the Corpus colossum keeping both hemispheres separated and what you really want is you want to be in a whole brain State you don't want to be just right brained or left brain you want to be in a open and curious and loving and positive and forgiving type State and you can be that way more when you're in a balanced brain State and so on the next slide you can see a little bit your right brain is more of that freedom and passion and creative and and emotional brain and the left side of your brain is more that analytical and logical and and reason and control and decisive so if you're in a whole brain state that is the most balanced way to be and it's the easiest way to go through life so on the next slide what is sabath sabotaging your life of choice um I'm sorry to say you are why it's your limiting beliefs so it's not your fault those beliefs got put there somewhere along the way but now I'm going to teach you how to change those limiting beliefs and so on the next slide you'll see that with our proven system you can clear hidden blocks that keep you from this life of choice so on the next slide step one how do you do it well you have to ask yourself a very important question which is what do I want how do I want my life to be what life of choice do I want to have and so on the next slide I've written 13 goals for you these are some beliefs you might want to adapt now you can choose your own these are just some ideas so here's some things you might want to train your brain to believe I focus on my why and know my purpose I easily prioritize my to-dos and take action I'm worthy and deserving of all the best things in life everything I do always works out great it's so easy to get along with all my co-workers my personal relationships are happy and healthy I consistently getting promoted at work it's easy for me to take time for myself I feel comfortable talking to people in large and small groups I'm confident bold and successful I love and forgive and accept myself I have a passion for the work I do so imagine if you believed all these things your life might feel a little bit different so I'm going to teach you how to program a belief into your subconscious that literally changes your programming so if you like one of these goals if you wish you believed in one of these but you really don't but you would like to pick which one it is and if you have some paper nearby or or pull up a word dock type type out that goal and you'll notice it's written like it already exists right it's first person it's present tense it's positive it's short it's meaningful and if you don't like anything on this list write one of your own maybe there's something top of mind that is even more important to you like it's so easy for me to get a good night's sleep right maybe that's what it is um so write a goal and then if you'll join with me I'm going to teach you how to program this into your subconscious mind it's super simple I'm going to teach you my easiest way to do it so on the next slide you'll see uh me and Julian there and you just cross your arms like this so as soon as you cross your arms it opens that brain bridge that Corpus colossum so you can get your brain into a whole brain State and then I'm going to have you close your eyes and just take some nice slow breaths this is going to slow your brain down into a more programmable State and then I want you to think about the goal that you wanted to accomplish so maybe Ginger you can go back to the slide before just in case they didn't write it down and want to grab one of these and I want you to just start repeating your goal silently whichever goal you want you're going to say it like it already exists like I focus on my purpose and know my why or it's easy to prioritize my to-dos and take action whatever your goal is give it about 30 seconds and just slowly take some breaths and repeat your goal silently
when you're ready I want you to uncross your arms and recross them so the other hand is on top and just keep breathing slowly and repeating your goal silently like it already exists when you're ready on the next slide you're just going to hold your fingertips together like this like there's a ball in between your palms and then close close your eyes and keep repeating your goal silently for another 30 seconds or so
when you're ready you can open your eyes hope you enjoyed that nice little calm down of the brain and so the next thing you're going to do is on the next slide you're going to take action so literally you just opened your brain Bridge you just built a new pathway in the brain it's that simple and easy a new belief and now now you want to train the brain to take this path instead of the old path so what action can you take to accomplish this goal you wrote down over the next week or at least start moving in that direction what action can you take I want you to write it down what can you do to accomplish this goal so you just clear the block you just formed a new belief now your subconscious has a million times more power to push you toward achieving that goal so now you just have to take action what can you do to accomplish the goal give you a few more seconds to write it down make sure that after today you time block that action get it on your calendar and make sure to do it so your brain takes that path so in a couple days you can say oh my gosh that crazy thing Jenny did with us actually worked I didn't think it would but it did taking action will help it work faster all right on the next slide I want you to know that when you believe you will be clear and confident and authentic and consistent you'll work smarter and not harder you'll have work life balance and you'll make more money so believing in your goals is what we just did today we help the brain believe in the goals so it changed the cellular response so it made it easy for you to move forward and take action so how do I knows this works well on the next slide I have a sweet testimonial from one of my clients Rosemary LOF she says that she's worked with me lots of times and uh recently I helped her pass a test that only has a 20% pass rate and only 170 people um in the United States have earned this designation that she had and so we worked together so she could have the right mindset to pass the test and she passed on her first try how else do I know it works while of course my story but on the next slide I hired a famous neuroscientist Dr Jeffrey Fannon to do several brain studies on what I just did with you now again I just did the most simple basic process I have I have lots of processes but he study the processes that I have to see how it changed the brain and why it changed the brain and and why clients were having such great results so we did studies before the process after the process during the process we did it with a 12we gap in between to see the results so it's fascinating to see the science behind the power of your mind and how you can put it to work for you I really think it's the greatest discovery of the 21st century to tap into that power we have how else do I know it works well on the next slide we track our clients progress and of our last 300 clients this is what they report after working with us for one hour they report in their shortterm goals that they have a 69 or let me say that again 69% of them say they have at least a 50% Improvement one week after working an hour with us on their health and wellness goals and 72% of them say they have a 50% Improvement on their professional success goals after just one hour with us and 84% of them say they have a 50% Improvement in their relationships after just one hour with us and on the next slide we look at long-term goals so our clients say long-term with just one hour of working with us 42% of them say they have at least a 50% Improvement in health and wellness 66% of them say they have at least a 50% Improvement in professional success and 61% say they have at least a 50% Improvement in their relationships this is not because I'm so awesome or my company's so awesome it's because you're so awesome and we teach you how to tap into that power of your brain and put it to work for you instead of it pulling you the wrong direction so on the next slide is a a fun picture uh we don't want you to stay stuck because it really is harder to stay stuck than move forward we want you to figure out what your goals are and move forward with those goals and you can do it so much easier when you tap into the power of your mind so on the next slide I just want to remind you that you are meant for more and a life of choice are you going to claim it it's there waiting for you and on the next slide remember what Helen Keller said that your success and happiness lie in you so how do you tap into that well today I taught you the two ways to do it I taught you how to do it with your conscious mind with the 17c rule remember no negative thinking allowed for more than 17 seconds unless you want to turn that into reality and then the even better way to change it is to literally reprogram the brain with a little exercise I taught you figuring out a goal how you want things to be do that little exercise while saying the goal and then set an action plan on the last slide I would love to help you create your life of choice and how would I like to do that I'd love for you to go to my website and download some free resources I've got all sorts of webinars and workbooks and a copy of my book you can get a a free 30 minutes with me or my team you can join us for a free month in our transformation group I'm here to help you tap into the power of your mind so thanks for listening today and excited for you and you living your best life I'm Jenny owner balanced
you well Jenny thank you so much for that fantastic presentation you've given us a lot to think about this afternoon so just a reminder if anybody would ask like to ask Jenny a Live question um just raise your hand and I can unmute you but if not um keep those questions coming into the chat I'll start with this one from Brooke and Brooke said this seems so easy how are most not even aware of this that's what I said when this doctor helped me heal after not being able to sit in a chair for three years and I was like why did the top surgeons not tell me I could just change my brain and heal myself right so I think it's a little bit of an alternative way of thinking and so I think though it's an idea whose time has come and I think more and more we start to learn about mindset and how how we think about things is really how we perceive things and we've always heard you know if you think you can you can and if you think you can't you're right but a lot of it is conscious mind exercises and thought processes the real power is in the subconscious mind so I hope to be part part of the change and bringing this awareness to the world so that people can struggle a whole lot less and succeed a lot more and have it an easier better life well I think we'll ask for I one more question that has come in I'll try this one and then we'll ask you just for some final words of wisdom as we wrap up this one came from Abby and Abby says how can you hint for someone to begin this my aunt is so negative and always complaining about medical issues yeah that's that's that's a fun one right so when you see other people that need it and you want to tell them right so you know you could just send her to my website you could just say I heard somebody talking today and she she was in chronic pain and she healed it with this process that she didn't think would work I don't know maybe you want to check it out maybe you want to schedule a free 30 minutes with her and and talk about it and see if it could possibly help you maybe that's a great place to start well Jenny thank you so much for your fantastic presentation this afternoon thanks Ginger thanks everyone
