Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System Workshop

Do you want to know the surprising truth about motivation?

Right now, think about something you want to change or improve.

How do you make lasting and powerful changes and life improvements? And how do you keep going even when you don’t have the motivation to do it?

If change was easy, we’d all have six-pack abs and a million dollars in the bank.

And that’s where this episode comes in: Mel is here to teach you the HOW.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to self-motivate so you can take action.
• What dopamine is and how it’s linked to motivation.
• The simple steps you can take today to tap back into your internal drive.
• The 2 truths about motivation that you are forgetting.
• The research-backed reason you continue, initiate, or quit something.
• What to do when someone you love is losing motivation.
• The real reason you cannot motivate others.
• How to cope with not getting something you have been working towards.
• How to navigate feeling “behind” or in a “comparison game”.
• How to pick yourself back up when you feel like life’s punched you in the face.
• The first (and most important) step in understanding what drives your motivation.
• One powerful question to ask yourself when you feel “stuck”.
• What role dreams and goals play (and it’s not always to achieve them).
• How to hack the moment of hesitation we all feel.
• The most powerful reframe you need about failing.
• How to get clear about the direction you are going in without wandering aimlessly.
• Mel’s 5-second rule that will move you towards action (even when you are not motivated).

This episode comes with a 29-page companion workbook. This workbook is designed using the latest research to help you get clear about what you want and empower you to take the next step forward in your life. And the cool part? It takes less than a minute for you to get your hands on it.

Welcome to today’s episode of The Mindset Mentor Podcast. Today I’m diving deep into one of the biggest super powers that we as humans have…

In my opinion, it’s what separates us from any other specifies in the universe, and makes us human. I’m talking about your emotional intelligence. 

If you don’t know what that is, emotional intelligence is the ability to manage BOTH your own emotions, and understand the emotions of the people around you so that you can better navigate through your entire life. 

Trust me on this one, emotional intelligence is not just an “extra” skill set that you can develop for your life… but rather it’s one of the most fundamental skillsets that I believe you should care about mastering in order to thrive and survive through your life. (You’ll see what I mean by the end of this.) 

If you like this episode… 

Make sure to share it with someone that needs to hear it and help us get the message out there so that together we can help make people’s lives better and make the world a better place. 

And BY THE WAY:

My first book that I’ve ever written is now available for pre-order. It’s called LEVEL UP and It’s a step-by-step guide to go from where you are now, to where you want to be as fast as possible.

Within its pages, you'll discover powerful insights and practical steps that will revolutionize the way you approach your goals, personal motivation, and mental focus.

The Summit of Greatness is back! Buy your tickets today – summitofgreatness.com – 

Dr Joe’s passion can be found at the intersection of the latest findings from the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to explore the science behind spontaneous remissions. He integrates that knowledge to teach people how to heal their bodies of health conditions, make significant changes in their lives, and evolve their consciousness. 

Since 2010, he has partnered with scientists and universities to perform extensive research on the effects that meditation has on the brain and body. During his advanced retreats around the world, his team has gathered more than 18,000 brain scans (quantitative QEEG) and 10,000 heart-rate variability measurements (HRV) to correlate the effects that sustained elevated emotions and self-regulation have on heart and brain function, immune response, and overall mind-body health. 

He and his team have also studied gene expression, protein regulation, immune response, neurotransmitter changes, telomere length, and variations in bioactive cellular metabolic particles in both novice and advanced meditators. As a New York Times best-selling author, researcher, lecturer, and corporate consultant, Dr Joe’s research has led him to develop a practical formula to help people transform their lives.

Dr Dispenza's latest findings have the potential to transform your understanding of meditation's impact on immunity. Dive into the science behind it and unlock the secrets to enhancing your well-being.

In this episode you will learn,

• Why so many people struggle to heal themselves, and how important the mind and body connection is to long term peace and abundance.
• How to define balance and wholeness for yourself, and tips to live more in alignment.
• Three types of stress and the impact they have on our nervous system.

Did you know you can measure your life expectancy by taking a short quiz about childhood experiences? Depending on the score, your lifespan either increases or decreases by 20 years! 

Advances in science have found a link between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), and poor physical and mental health later in life. This distinction has been difficult to prove, but thanks to Dr. Vincent Filetti’s dedication to studying this phenomenon, we can make a correlation between traumatic events from our past and chronic illnesses that manifest in adulthood. 

In this episode, Neurosomatic Intelligence Coach, Jennifer Wallace, and Elisabeth Kristoff from Brain Based Wellness, discuss the link between childhood trauma and illness later in life in hopes of shedding light on how trauma stored in the body can cause, sometimes fatal, health issues. In this conversation, Jennifer and Elisabeth recount their own ACE scores and how it has affected their health and lives as a whole, as well as tools based in applied neurology to allow for self-regulation to help heal trauma stored in the body.

These adverse childhood experiences change the physiology of the body and mind which lead to higher risk of obesity, addiction, and other harmful maladaptive behaviors that are bad for overall health, and lower life expectancy.

When we understand the root causes of our health issues, we are more equipped in finding solutions and tools to help heal ourselves once and for all. Tools that are discussed in this episode have been proven to help not only Jennifer and Elisaeth in their healing, but many others who have used applied neurology for their benefit. Listen in for more information!

.  

Topics discussed in this episode:

• What are ACE test scores
• Obesity study by Dr. Vincet Filetti
• Pinpoint maladaptive behaviors related to past traumas
• Bridging the gap between trauma and illness
• What a dysregulated nervous system looks like
• Learning tools on how to regulate to reduce chronic stress
• Basics on applied neurology to help heal once and for all!
