This 7 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.800 is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your 8 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.120 brain power. The number one reason people call out of 9 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.119 work is pain. Now, pain can be caused by a 10 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.399 lot of stuff. Can be caused by stress. So most 11 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:40.960 people when they have a pain in their back or 12 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.960 their neck or their shoulders, it's from stress and they 13 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.520 have to reduce their stress. You know, it could be relationship, 14 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:52.119 It could be money. It could be physical stress. It 15 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:59.960 could be poor posture, sanitary lifestyle, repetitive movements, could be 16 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:08.200 chemical stress. You know, all these cleaning fluids and perfumes 17 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:14.040 and pesticides and herbicides and artificial flavors and sweeteners and 18 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:21.200 medications and drugs. Could be electromagnetic frequency stress. Too much 19 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.719 Wi Fi and cell phones and five G and laptops 20 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:32.319 and smart devices and big cities and all this extra radiation, 21 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:37.280 Bluetooth and Apple watches and whoop devices. I mean, there's 22 00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.680 so much radiation going around. It's a lot of stress. 23 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:52.079 So stress causes inflammation. Inflammation causes pain. That's why a 24 00:01:52.120 --> 00:02:00.359 lot of people will take ensets, non stereoidal anti inflammatory drugs. 25 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.840 You know, those are the over the counter to stuff, 26 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:06.719 you know, and then you get prescriptions, right, so you 27 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:13.479 can get the title all the aspirin, right, the h advil, 28 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.479 the ib profane, but then you also get the prescription. 29 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.159 You know, those get more intense, the Parkistan and the 30 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:31.280 Viking and the muscle relaxers, and you know morphine and 31 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:39.159 you know the uh OxyContin and that. All these drugs 32 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:46.599 now that people take to get rid of pain. And 33 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.080 then they have you know, even you know natural stuff 34 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:57.800 right to hide the symptoms or to bring down the inflammation. 35 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:04.080 Turmeric aeratrol or make a threeze, those are natural ways 36 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:10.240 to bring down inflammation. For pain, people will use arnica. 37 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.599 You know, there's all different natural ways to reduce pain. 38 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:21.800 But what are we doing. We're trying to hide the symptoms, right, 39 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.240 So you don't want to hide the symptoms and you 40 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.159 don't want to treat the pain. Somebody calls that it sick, 41 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.319 you know, because they got back pain, neck pain. Oh, 42 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.000 they're gonna go to the massage therapist, the physical therapist, 43 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:41.120 the you know, acupuncturists, the chiropractor, the pain management doctor. 44 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.319 You know, they're gonna get all these doctors to treat 45 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:49.639 the pain. You're not getting to the root. Cause when 46 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.639 you treat the pain, I don't care if it's medically, 47 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.800 if it's surgically right. 48 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:02.840 They do fusions and you know, latinectomies, and you know, dyschotomies, 49 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.719 and yeah, knee replacements and you know. 50 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:15.120 Hip replacements. To do all these things, all right, put 51 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:20.879 rods and pins and artificial joints and artificial discs and 52 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.759 try and get rid of the pain. It's always trying 53 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.519 to hide the symptoms. Everything is about hiding the symptoms. 54 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.199 I don't want the pain on me. Wear a brace 55 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:38.199 or a bandage. It's always about hiding the pain. Oh 56 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:43.720 my got a headache, Take an aspirin. No, why were 57 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.680 always trying to hide the pain? I like the pain. 58 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.399 The pain tells me what's wrong. I play a lot 59 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.079 of sports. Sometimes I'll get really banged up after a 60 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.079 basketball game and I'll come home limping, and my wife 61 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:58.639 will be like, oh, you know, take a tile and 62 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.319 all and ask and I'm like no. She goes, why 63 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.480 do you want to suffer with pain? Because I said, 64 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.079 the pain is protecting me. So if this pain is 65 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.600 preventing me from bending over to tie my shoes and 66 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.920 I can't do it because it hurts, the body's protecting 67 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:23.040 me saying don't bend over and twist your spine because 68 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.240 I've I've injured it, so don't aggravate it. If you 69 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.439 take a painkiller, if you take an anti inflammatory, you 70 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.240 take a muscle relaxer, now you're able to bend down 71 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.240 and tie your shoes. But now you're going to cause 72 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:45.399 more problems because that pain is protecting you. You don't 73 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:50.120 want to hide the pain. The pain's important. The pain 74 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.800 is your brain telling you what's wrong. Pain is good. 75 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.120 It tells you what not to do. But you gotta 76 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.600 listen to your body. You know, the patients come to 77 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:04.879 me all the time, doctor, Doctor, it hurts when I 78 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:10.439 do this, so I say, well, stop doing that. Don't 79 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:16.079 do things that cause pain. Listen to your body. If 80 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.879 you take a pain killer, then you're gonna do things 81 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.399 that aggravate it, because now your brain's not communicating to 82 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:26.879 your body properly. It's a different concept. I'm like one 83 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.519 percent of doctors, ninety nine percent of doctors are gonna 84 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.160 try and come up with some solution to hide the pain. 85 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.000 I don't want the solution to hide the pain. I 86 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.160 want to get to the root cause of what's causing 87 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:44.160 the pain. It could be a lot of different things. 88 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.319 It could be your bones are out of position. It 89 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:52.000 could be you have poor posture. It could be you 90 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.600 have muscle spasm. It could be you have nerve compression. 91 00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:00.279 Could be of a herniated disk. Could be you have 92 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:05.800 poor proprioception from your brain. Could be too much inflammation, 93 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:14.199 could be the stress. Could be poor circulation, could be 94 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:19.959 heavy metal toxicity, could be an infection, could be an 95 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.680 autoimmune disease. I mean, it could be a million things. 96 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.519 Maybe it's a combination of different things, and maybe you 97 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:34.800 have to work on a lot of them. And maybe 98 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.120 you've got an MRI that said you have a disc 99 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:41.079 problem and everyone's telling you that's the cause of the pain, 100 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.959 but maybe it's actually not the disc. A lot of 101 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:52.759 times we're told the wrong things. So that's why it's 102 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:58.000 good to get second opinion, third opinions, fourth opinions. I 103 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.959 like to get lots of opinions, kind of piece it 104 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:06.000 all together and take all the advice I get and 105 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.079 trying to see, okay, what makes the most sense logically, 106 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:15.759 All right, let's do some logic and let's think. All 107 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.600 right right now. In my opinion, the way to think 108 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.959 is that there's no better doctor than the human body. 109 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.480 So the pain is protecting me. Okay, if I have, 110 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:31.399 you know, a headache, there's a reason why I have 111 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.279 a headache. And I'm dehydrated. The brain's telling me give 112 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.919 me more water. Maybe I'm hypoglycemic, I'm having eaten in 113 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.279 too many hours. The brain's telling me to feed me 114 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:47.360 some food. Maybe I'm vitamin D deficient, and the brain's 115 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:51.639 telling me, hey, I need some sunlight. Maybe I don't 116 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:56.600 have oxygen. Maybe I'm gonna prove my posture, start breathing better. 117 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.720 We gotta get to the root cause of the headache. 118 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.679 Maybe my muscles are in spasm. Maybe my neck is misaligned. 119 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:10.519 Maybe I have siness pressure. Maybe I have allergies. Maybe 120 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:15.519 you have toxic exposure. Maybe you have an autoimmune disease. 121 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:19.720 Maybe you have inflammation. So we've got to get to 122 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:24.600 the root cause. It's always about getting to the root 123 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.919 cause of the problem. It's never about treating symptoms. You'll 124 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:34.919 never figure out the problem treating symptoms. Sometimes that's how 125 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:40.679 they diagnose conditions. And a lot of patients they'll come 126 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:48.120 to neurologists with tremors, and one way doctors, not all doctors, 127 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.840 but one way doctors diagnose Parkinson's's by giving them the 128 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:55.879 Parkinson's medication, and if the tremor goes away, then they say, oh, 129 00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:04.240 you got Parkinson's. Uh, if you drink alcohol and your 130 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:12.279 tremor goes away, then that's an essential tremor. A Parkinson's 131 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:17.759 tremor is more resting tremor where they hands move at rest. 132 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.799 And then you have also what's called an intention tremor 133 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:23.759 where you do with action, like you know, you grab 134 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.440 a glass of water and you start shaking. That's usually 135 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.759 from the cerebellum. So, you know, we got to figure 136 00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.240 out if there's a tremor, is it essential tremor, is 137 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.919 it a Parkinsonian tremor, you know, is it a cerebellar 138 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:41.519 tremor intention tremor? You know, there are lots of different causes. 139 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:46.200 Always got to get to the root cause. The key 140 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.279 to health is always getting to the root cause. Stop 141 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:54.320 trying to treat symptoms. Right, if I have high blood pressure, 142 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.600 don't just give me a high blood pressure medication and 143 00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.720 try and treat the symptoms, and say, why is my 144 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:04.879 blood pressure so high? Maybe I mean stress mode, too 145 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.799 much stress. I gotta bring down my cortisol. Maybe we 146 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.039 have a poor diet, Maybe you have a set ententy lifestyle, 147 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:15.759 maybe not sleeping enough. Right, there's all different reasons for 148 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:20.519 high blood pressure, and it's not a deficiency in high 149 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.399 blood pressure medication. So you got to get to the 150 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:29.600 root cause. I always get to the root cause. So 151 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:34.879 with pain, we want to get to the root cause, right, 152 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.320 and you need an integrative, holistic type of approach. And 153 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:41.000 in my opinion, it's always better to start off conservatively. 154 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.320 You know, I don't always go to the surgery of 155 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:51.279 the medication first. Try conservative therapy first. You know, maybe 156 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:55.480 if we figure out the root cause, like a spinal misalignment, 157 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.840 they can fix that. Or if it's a muscle spasm, 158 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:03.799 you do some active release technique, or it's a nerve compression, 159 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.879 we could do decompressive therapy. Maybe we got to bring 160 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:12.600 down the inflammation and prove circulation. Right, if we get 161 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.200 to the root cause of the pain, if we get 162 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.440 to the recause the headache, we get to the recause 163 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:25.080 of the tremor, then we could actually figure out what's 164 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.519 going on and give the appropriate treatment to rewire your 165 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:32.600 brain in a process called neuroplasticity and get everything to 166 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:37.559 function better, feel better, and live a better life.

Now, if I had pain or headache or 186 00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:01.279 low energy fatigued pression, the first thing I think that 187 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:07.440 will be most important is the twenty rule. The twenty 188 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:13.320 rule is where every twenty minutes you get up for 189 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.919 twenty seconds and move your body. It could be twenty 190 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.879 shoulder rolls where you look up and roll your shoulders back. 191 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:28.639 It could be walking twenty steps. It could be sitting 192 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.559 up and down for twenty times. It could be twenty 193 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:40.480 jumping jacks. Or you could do twenty pushups. You could 194 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:47.320 do twenty sit ups. You could do you know, twenty squats, 195 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:56.799 twenty lunges, you know, twenty leglifts. Doesn't matter what it is, 196 00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:02.600 but move your body for twenty seconds. The worst thing 197 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.600 for the brain and the body is a sedentary lifestyle, 198 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.440 and people are sitting more and more often. We got 199 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:13.960 to get up. It's called the twenty rule. And set 200 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:19.039 an alarm. Maybe get a cooking timer, you know, you 201 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:23.399 just dial it up to twenty and bing. You can't 202 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:25.440 use your cell phone if you want, use a timer 203 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:30.120 so it vibrates or something like that, and then you 204 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.759 get up. Luckily, I have a job where I'm always moving. 205 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.600 I'm always walking around seeing patients going to different rooms 206 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.679 to get them from different angles. I have to help 207 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.200 them along the way, so it's not like I'm in 208 00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:45.120 a desk job sitting at a computer all day. Now, 209 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:49.039 there are times, you know, I'm writing a book. It's 210 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:55.120 called Boost your brain Power, the Eight Essentials to Conquering 211 00:15:55.360 --> 00:16:00.159 Anxiety without Medication. So as I'm writing this book, I 212 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:02.440 do a lot of sitting, and I put my arm 213 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:05.879 every twenty minutes. Boom, get up now. Sometimes it works 214 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.480 out where I'm the middle of the paragraph, I'm in 215 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.360 a good thought, Okay, so I'm gonna I might go 216 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.360 to twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven minutes so I 217 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.279 finish that chapter, finish whatever I gotta do. But then 218 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.279 I get up right. Sometimes it works out. Usually it's 219 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:24.279 pretty accurate. Around twenty I'm finishing up a sentence, finishing 220 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:26.960 up a paragraph, finishing up a chapter, or something like that. 221 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.279 But yeah, if you need that extra two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 222 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.759 ten minutes, that's fine as long as you do it often. 223 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:43.120 But that's the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, for twenty seconds. 224 00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:46.600 That's it. Don't tell me you can't take a break 225 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:53.159 for twenty seconds. You can't not take it for twenty seconds. 226 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.919 It will change your life. You'll have better memory, more energy, 227 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:02.159 better focus. You'll get rid of your pain, your discomfort, 228 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:06.720 you're depression. Come on, it's not negotiable. Do the twenty rule. 229 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.119 Every twenty minutes. You gotta get up. I don't care 230 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.240 what you're doing. You're watching the nickname. You get up 231 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:20.039 every commercial you're uh, you know you're watching a Netflix 232 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:24.240 press pause for twenty seconds. Walk to the kitchen, get 233 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.000 a glass of water. I don't care what it is. 234 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.559 Open up a window, take the dog out to pee, 235 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:34.279 Do some jumping jacks, do some push ups, take a 236 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:39.119 bunch of breaks. Don't do this binging for hours, sitting. 237 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:43.200 It's the worst thing. You're on the computer. You gotta 238 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:47.599 get up. You're scrolling on the internet, Get up social media. 239 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.240 You gotta get up and then maybe you'll get some 240 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:52.519 sense and you say, hey, what am I wasting my 241 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:58.839 time on social media? Hours? People are on these Netflix, YouTube, 242 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:06.200 you know, Disney. I don't know what people do with Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, 243 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.839 hours and hours and hours. And I used to be 244 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:13.799 one of them. I used to watch TV, I used 245 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:21.240 to watch sports, spend all Sunday watching football. And you 246 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.160 know it was it was said one of my good 247 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:29.759 friends growing up, Joey. He passed away in twenty nineteen. 248 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.319 And in twenty nineteen and the only time I would 249 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.039 really see Joey was at the bar and to watch 250 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.920 the football games because my team wasn't a local team, 251 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:41.559 so I'd have to go to the bar to watch it, 252 00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:44.839 and his team wasn't local, so he would go. So 253 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:46.559 it was great. I got to see Joey. We had 254 00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:49.480 a good time, and then he passed away and it 255 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:52.880 was just like and I was like, the reason I 256 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.240 liked it wasn't because of the football. It was because 257 00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.839 I was spending time with my good friend, right, So 258 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.039 I was like, okay, because I was said, I was like, 259 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.839 that's it. I'm done with football. I haven't watched football 260 00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:08.839 since and I haven't watched baseball. You know, I'll take 261 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:11.519 my kids live to the game. You know, we'll go 262 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.839 to the Yankee game, right. I think that's fun and 263 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:19.640 good experience. But I don't waste you know, four hours, 264 00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:23.759 you know, from whatever it is seven point thirty to 265 00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:30.359 almost midnight. Oh, first of all, to be sleeping, all right, 266 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.720 But you know, I'll take for the experiences. That's good. 267 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:36.720 You know.

That's good experience life. And 271 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.799 I take them to travel, and they've been to a 272 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:58.400 lot of places, and at very young ages, they've been 273 00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:02.799 to Europe and you know, South America and the Caribbean 274 00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:06.880 and you know, all over the United States and Canada 275 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:11.960 and Mexico, and you know, they've been a lot, you know, 276 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:16.680 probably you know a dozen countries and you know, actually 277 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:20.279 more than that, probably twenty countries.

So it's it's very important to 293 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:36.200 experience life. It doesn't have to be fancy vacations. It 294 00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.240 could be a weekend chip up to the cat Skills 295 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.880 of the Poconos, right, you know, I don't can't favorite 296 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:48.559 just camping outside your backyard, but do something different, change 297 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.559 it up, have some new experiences, meet some new people, 298 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:59.400 go to new places.

You know, I always get the aisle seat, 303 00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:17.640 you know, sometimes the stewardess or the flight attendant. Sorry, 304 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:21.240 I'll let them know. Hey, you know I'm gonna be 305 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.599 getting up a while because they get a little nervous, right, 306 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:25.839 So you know, I just say, hey, I'm gonna go 307 00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:28.279 to the bathroom a bunch of times. So I just 308 00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:30.680 walk up and down the aisle, go to the bathroom, 309 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:37.119 you know, stretch a little bit. You gotta move. I 310 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:39.880 go to a lot of seminars, always sit on the edge, 311 00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:42.519 So get up, walk to the back of the room. 312 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:48.359 Get a couple of water every twenty minutes. You know, 313 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.640 I'm going to a concert tomorrow.

So I'm just gonna 316 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:01.079 get up, walk up a few steps, walk down a 317 00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:10.079 few steps. That's it. You know, you got to be creative, right, 318 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.160 And I'm telling you, I go to conscious. I'm on 319 00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:15.480 the plane. I know what it is writing a book, 320 00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:19.799 all right, So I know how it is to you know, 321 00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:24.759 to combat that sedentary lifestyle. But you can do it. 322 00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:26.799 It's got to be creative. Put your mind to it. 323 00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:31.440 Your mind is more powerful than you can ever imagine, 324 00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:36.960 and whatever you think will happen. If you think you're 325 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.079 going to be sick, you'll be sick. If you're always 326 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.319 thinking about sickness, you get sick. If you think about health, 327 00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:48.680 you'll be healthy. You think about energy, vitality. You always think, oh, 328 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.480 I'm so tired. Stop saying that. You always say oh 329 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:59.880 all these aches and pains. Stop saying it, I can 330 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:05.920 ever get to sleep. Stop saying it. Whatever you say happens. 331 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.000 You say I have no money, you'll have no money. 332 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:13.680 You say, oh, I can never have a good relationship, 333 00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:17.799 you'll never have a good relationship. You create what you think. 334 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:22.359 You are what you think. If you think healthy, you'll 335 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:30.799 be healthy. You'll be strong. Think energy, think love, think passion, 336 00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:39.720 think good posture, think good memory. Don't think about the 337 00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:43.319 bad parts, think about the good parts and ignore all 338 00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:48.519 the bad parts. Whatever you focus your energy to will 339 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:55.240 manifest in reality. So your mind is the most powerful thing, 340 00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:59.880 and you have control of that, but you gotta believe 341 00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:06.720 it yourself. Don't be your harshest critic, be your biggest cheerleader. 342 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:11.359 And I don't care what type of health condition you have. 343 00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:20.440 You have to think healthier, recovery, improvement, function right. You 344 00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:23.200 don't think I don't want cancer. You think I'm wanna 345 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.599 boost my immune system. You don't think I don't want 346 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.680 to get a heart attack. You think I don't improve 347 00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:30.960 my circulation.
