When it comes to health, it's more collective than individual. You become a product of your environment and it's very easy to be healthy in these Blue Zone areas because that's the way of their life. We have to look at the situation of these healthier places and understand that their culture and societal norms facilitate health. That's easier to do when it's a small society because in a village, everyone has a responsibility and everyone is relying on each other so it's more like a family unit. It's more difficult to be healthy in the USA because you have to do all of the work on your own. We've gone astray as a culture because we've lost our sense of community and societal values due to technology. - Jason Prall What do other cultures have that the USA doesn't as far as increased human health, love, interaction, and longevity?

Words are a mirror to our subconscious. So, when you hear me say, 'I want to write a book,' you can see that written on my soul like it's my purpose. However, I have a big problem when the next words that come out of my mouth are, "but I'm not a writer," because those words are also a mirror to my subconscious. Those negative words are revealing that somewhere and somehow, I have a belief that does not support me ever reaching that goal of becoming a writer. To change that belief, I need to invest in myself. - Mary Shores How can you stop your negative thought patterns in order to rewrite your story and live life to its fullest?

The persistent messages we repeat can frame our thoughts and trap us into a mindset that is difficult to break. This mindset often manifests itself with statements like “I can’t,” “I’m not good enough,” and “I’ll never find the [insert the blank] I want.” Many times, we don’t stop to consider the profound impact that these negative, limiting words have on our mentality, life choices, and the path of possibility that we manifest. After gathering years of research and personal experience with how words affect individuals mentally and emotionally, business owner and communications specialist Mary Shores realized that there is a life-changing theme persistent throughout ancient traditions and spiritual foundations that are supported by scientific professionals. They all agree on one recurring truth: Words have the power to create and transform.

We spend 93% of our time under artificial light; that's probably not a good thing, right? When we look at our ancestors who spent all their time outside, it makes sense that artificial light isn't healthy for us. So, the first thing you should do isn't' go buy a product like ours. Instead, go outside and get more natural sunlight; become more aware of how natural light is good for your body. Even if you're outside for just 5-10 minutes, you'll notice a difference in how you feel. If you don't notice it, then maybe you should invest in a light therapy device. - Scott Nelson  JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE How can light therapy bring so many wonderful benefits to your overall health and wellness?

I want everyone to see themselves as designers of their own lives because that's truly what we're doing. We're co-creating this reality and we're all an active part of it. Essentially, there are two types of people: designers and those who are still struggling with the concept. Brain science is really how your brain works and why it does what it does whereas design thinking focuses more on the future. Design thinking is what we can become and what we can transform ourselves into. - Dr. Kyra Bobinet JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE Do you want to change in some way, shape or form, but you're too comfortable fitting a specific mold of other people's expectations?

Being vulnerable simply means admitting that you have challenges too. There's a difference between airing your dirty laundry and sharing some vulnerability. When you share vulnerability, there is a purpose of connecting and a solution-oriented talk rather than just complaining and feeling bad about yourself. If you're going on about how much you suck and how everything in your life is falling apart, there's no point in continuing on like this. You have to find a solution and make things different in your life. - Alissa Daire Nelson JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE Ready to discover what sets you apart from everyone else and discover your true strengths?
