TELOMERESCaps on the end of chromosomes. After each cell division, they become shorter, leading to aging. Or so we thought…

MEDITATION“The study… showed that one
session of {kundalini meditation} was enough to enhance the expression of genes involved in energy metabolism and insulin secretion and reduce expression of genes linked to inflammatory response and stress. There was an effect even among novices who had never practiced before.” Harvard Med 5 year study

BRAIN PLASTICITYEverything you eat,
say, think or do changes your brain.
![Page 12: STRESSED OUT?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/56816951550346895de0f55e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
GRAIN BRAIN“Renowned neurologist David
Perlmutter, MD, blows the lid off a topic that’s been buried in medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain. And not just unhealthy carbs, but even healthy ones like whole grains can cause dementia, ADHD, anxiety, chronic headaches, depression, and much more.”

END WHEAT, CARBS AND SUGAR! Increase Good Fats

Anti-Inflammation Diet“Foods that cause a spike in blood sugar
levels lead to internal inflammation that speeds up the aging process... When the sugar and protein attach, a sugar-bond is formed called advanced glycation end products… which can be responsible for wrinkles, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and much more, including age-related memory loss and even Alzheimer’s disease.”
Dr. Perricone

YOU ARE NOT YOUR BRAIN“You are not good
enough.”“You’ll never amount to
anything.”“You aren’t worthy.”Constant negative self-talkDeceptive brain messages
become wired in our subconscious before we are old enough to reject them.
![Page 19: STRESSED OUT?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/56816951550346895de0f55e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
FOUR STEP SOLUTIONDeveloped by Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Gladding for OCD
![Page 20: STRESSED OUT?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/56816951550346895de0f55e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
RELABEL“Identify the deceptive brain
messages (i.e., the unhelpful thoughts, urges, desires and impulses) and the uncomfortable sensations; call them what they really are… Say what is happening.”
![Page 21: STRESSED OUT?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/56816951550346895de0f55e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
REFRAME“Change your perception of the
importance of the deceptive brain messages; say why these thoughts, urges, and impulses keep bothering you (it's not ME, it's just the BRAIN!)… Remind yourself that you are not your brain and you do not have to respond to every impulse your brain generates.”
![Page 22: STRESSED OUT?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/56816951550346895de0f55e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
REFOCUS“Direct your attention toward an
activity or mental process that is wholesome and productive - even while the false and deceptive urges, thoughts, impulses, and sensations are still present and bothering you…go for a walk, call a friend, play a game. Do something that will interest you and is fun.”
![Page 23: STRESSED OUT?](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/56816951550346895de0f55e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
REVALUE“Clearly see the thoughts, urges,
and impulses for what they are: sensations caused by deceptive brain messages that are not true and that have little to no value… It is not something that needs to be taken seriously or paid attention to.”

YOU ARE IN CONTROLBrain scans prove the
success of this method. Demonstrates that we are
not just our brains – that our minds can physically alter our brains!
Change the narrative – the self-talk, and alter the brain.
Meditation and mindfulness increase ability to choose what one focuses upon.

Alter Belief SystemsOur beliefs are typically formed in
childhood and reside in the subconscious without our really noticing or questioning them.
Culture, politics, religion, morality, professional ideas, all become truths rather than preferences or interpretations.
These become impediments to change or adaptation to a changing world.

Daily HabitsYawning - Fake it until you
make it!Smile, even if you don’t

Heart-Brain Coherence“Thinking” neurons fill the heart! Heart activity drives the brain,
not vice-versa. Heart has significantly larger
field. Transplants of personality!Up to 7 seconds prior to a random
stimuli, the heart knows whether negative or positive!
