How's that 23 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: for a dichotomy of topics? Huh, A little something for everybody. 24 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: You may recall I recently play an actual replica of 25 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: an Aztec death whistle on this podcast, and of course, 26 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: this is this horrifying sounding device that an army of 27 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: warriors would all blow as they were marching in storming 28 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: into battle in ancient times. And you know, just to 29 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: blow one whistle kind of makes the hair stand up 30 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: on the back of your neck. And I got quite 31 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: a bit of feedback from that. One listener said, you know, Josh, 32 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: what if, what if you could take the the magic 33 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: of your audio studio and actually recreate the sound of 34 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: hundreds or even a thousand warriors actually blowing this thing, 35 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: Like what would that sound like? And I thought, well, 36 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: I believe I can do that, So I did it 37 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: and the result was quite surprising. And later on in 38 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: the show, I'm going to play for you the audio 39 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: that I came up with for what it would sound 40 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: like if you actually had one thousand warriors storming toward you, raging, 41 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: all blowing the ASTech death whistle at the same time, 42 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you how I put it together. But 43 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: one guy emailed me who when I played the Lone 44 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: Whistle before, and he said that he likes to listen 45 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: to my podcast as he's falling asleep. A little did 46 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: he know that that particular podcast was not going to 47 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: lull him into a peaceful slumber. He said he was 48 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: just dozing off when I played the ASTech death whistle, 49 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: and you can imagine in that state, it scared him 50 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: half to death. But look it is now as I 51 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: record this, the spring of twenty twenty three, and it 52 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: has been a long winter. It just seemed like the 53 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: cold temperature has just kept dragging on and on. And yes, granted, 54 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: we may have had something to do with that, because 55 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: I asked everybody to manifest a lot of snow in 56 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: the western US this past winter to help with some 57 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: of the drought conditions, filling up the reservoirs and whatnot, 58 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: and we did a great job. But I think we 59 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: did such a great job that the winter has been very, 60 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: very powerful. And one of the downsides of winter is 61 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: that people often start feeling depressed. It's well known, you know, 62 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: seasonal depression, and so sometimes when you start feeling depressed, 63 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: you start becoming pessimistic, you get stuck in a rut 64 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: and it's time to pull yourself out of that. And 65 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: so I thought this would be a great occasion for 66 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: me to read to you some scientific tips about how 67 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: to hack into your brain, your physiology and make yourself happier. Okay, 68 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: happiness hacks, and this is information that first appeared on 69 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: health dot com. It's been published in various other places. 70 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: So first we're going to go down this simple list 71 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: of things that you can do that will make you 72 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: feel better and get you out of your rut. But 73 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: then I'm going to transition from there and tell you 74 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: about some metaphysical things that I think you can do 75 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: that will also help you with this. And then of 76 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: course I'll save the army of Aztec death whistles for 77 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: the end of the show, or closer to the end. 78 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to these tips, shall we. And 79 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: I'm just going to read through this list and give 80 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: you sort of my thoughts on each one of these 81 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: happiness hacks things that will help you feel better. Right 82 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: off the bat, it says practice kindness, and you know what, 83 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: that is absolutely true. Says when you're helping others, no 84 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: matter if you do it directly or indirectly, you know 85 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: you can do it even anonymously. When you help others. 86 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: Somehow them being happy makes you happier. It says. If 87 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: you think that there's no way you could possibly ever 88 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: be a happier, kinder person, just try it out if 89 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: you are happy. Let me put it this way. If 90 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: you put on a happy face and you're kind to 91 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: somebody else and you see that person smile and light up, 92 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: that makes you feel good. So we'll start with that, 93 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: all right, Fine, next, Oh boy, this is not a 94 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: good one. Exercise. You hear it all the time. I 95 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: have just never been a fan of exercise for the 96 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: sake of exercise, So I'm okay exercising if I have 97 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: a mission, like let's say I'm taking a hike to 98 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: a bar to get drunk or something like that, that 99 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: motivates me. No, I'm joking, but honestly, what I mean 100 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: is that like I enjoyed, for example, living in Puerto 101 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: Rico a lot, because I lived in this little town 102 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: where you could kind of walk everywhere, and so you 103 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: didn't feel like you were going out just to exercise. 104 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: You actually were going out and you were just you know, 105 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: seeing the sights and mingling with people and that's a 106 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: lot more difficult now that I live in a bigger 107 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: city here in Las Vegas, So you have to sort 108 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: of find a way, I guess, if you're going to exercise, 109 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: to make it not feel as much like you're just 110 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: doing it for the sake of doing it, unless you 111 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: just like that some people do. But they say here 112 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: that getting your blood pumping releases indorphins throughout your whole body, 113 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: and even though it may be hard to get started, 114 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: when you do that, those endorphins start creating these feelings 115 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: of happiness, and that can alleviate symptoms of depression. So 116 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, anything, even if you turn on some music 117 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: and you just dance around in your living room, or 118 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: if you have a staircase, walk up and down the 119 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: steps ten times, anything you can do like that will 120 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: supposedly help. Next, we have here load up on leafy greens. 121 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: Dark leafy greens like spinach and kale are rich in folate, 122 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: providing thirty three percent of the recommended daily allowance, and 123 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: this nutrient is leaked to a linked to a decrease 124 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: in negative moods and depression because it helps produce dopamine 125 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: in the brain. So that's another one of those things 126 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: like that does not sound like a lot of fun 127 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: to eat leafy greens, does it. But if you don't 128 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: like to eat leafy greens, find a way you can 129 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: tolerate them. Add some spice to them, some sauce to them, 130 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: and you know, depending on your system. You know, some 131 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: people have problems even digesting a lot of leafy greens. 132 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: But again, just be creative and find a way so 133 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: that if you don't like the experience of eating them, 134 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to feel like you're a 135 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: cow or something like that out in the field, add 136 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: something to it that will help you tolerate it. Next, now, 137 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: this is kind of weird, buy flowers for yourself. A 138 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: team of Harvard researchers found that keeping fresh flowers at 139 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: home does wonders and keeping away anxiety and negative moods. 140 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: People in the study also felt more compassionate toward others, 141 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: and they felt a boost of energy and enthusiasm at work. 142 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: That sounds silly, doesn't it, to buy flowers for yourself, 143 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: But at the same time, it does make sense because 144 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: flowers are living things. They do produce this large field 145 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: of bio energy. And of course I'm always talking about 146 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: seeing the aura around plants. And if you're new to 147 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: this podcast, I just want you to realize that when 148 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: you hear people talk about seeing an aura of colors 149 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: around a living being, whether it's a person or an 150 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: animal or a plant, and you just think there's nothing 151 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: to that that maybe that just sounds like some kind 152 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: of hogwash, some woo woo stuff. Well I created. I 153 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: invented this type of visor that you can wear that 154 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: will train your eyes to start seeing the aura in 155 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: a matter of minutes. And if you sign up for 156 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: my free e newsletter at Joshua Pwarren dot com, then 157 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: you will receive an automated email and it has instructions 158 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: on how you can make this visor. And I mean 159 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: like a kindergartener could do. And it's very very easy 160 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: to make, and you put this on and it will 161 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: train your eyes to start seeing the aura and other 162 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: aspects of the spiritual world. I don't know why anybody 163 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: would not try this out. And so when you do that, 164 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: you can actually see that plants they give off an 165 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: energy field which I think feeds us and energizes us. 166 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: So I can understand why buying flowers for yourself would 167 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: be beneficial looks like it's going to be a time 168 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 1: for a break here soon.

I am your host, the Wizard 213 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain 214 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: from my studio and sin the city Las Vegas, Nevada, 215 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: where every day is golden and every night is silver. 216 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: H giatato zoom may. And now let's get back to 217 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: these easy hacks for happiness. Because you know, your mind 218 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: affects your body. You really can't separate the two. That's 219 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: what the whole mind body I even call it the 220 00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: mind body environment relationship is about. And so a positive 221 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: mind also helps to create a positive body and vice versa. 222 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: And so you know, you can't just focus too much 223 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: on one or the other. And my goodness, if anybody 224 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: is guilty of focusing too much on one, that would 225 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: be me because I am always engaged and these mind 226 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: oriented pursuits, you know, doing research and investigations and experiments 227 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: and talking about it all the time. And so I 228 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: am imbalanced because I need to go out and do 229 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: more physical stuff. And then of course you have people 230 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: who have the opposite problem. But it's all connected, all related. Okay, 231 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: let's go back to our list of things that you 232 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: can do that might be considered easy happiness hacks to 233 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: get you out of your rut. So the next one 234 00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: is something that I already touched on, a smile. It says, 235 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: while you may think of smiling as a reaction to 236 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: feeling happy, some researchers suggest that smiling can also lead 237 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: to joy. The simple act of smiling, even if you 238 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: have to force it, might help to activate the happiness 239 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: centers in your brain, leaving you in a better mood. 240 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: You know what, I have to stop for a moment 241 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: because in my book Use the Force, a Jedi's Guide 242 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: to the Law of Attraction, which you can read for 243 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: free as a PDF online. If you go to my 244 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: website Joshua Ppwarren dot com, you'll see the cover somewhere 245 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: there on the top of probably of the homepage where 246 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 1: you can click it, and it's free in English and 247 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: in Spanish. Now, as a matter of fact, I'm delighted 248 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: with that there is a section of this book Use 249 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: the Force, and it's called the Magic of Smiling, And 250 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,239 Speaker 1: I may as well take a moment and read that 251 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: section to you smile as much and as often as possible, 252 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: you will be as by the results. Each time you 253 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: see yourself in a mirror, smile at yourself. Each time 254 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: you see another person, smile at him or her. If 255 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: you must think of something happy in order to make 256 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: it a wide, warm, genuine expression. If you begin every 257 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: interaction you have with another person with a true smile, 258 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: however challenging the situation may seem, incredibly positive, things will happen. 259 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: I travel often, and zipping around the world on airplanes 260 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: can be wrought with extremely stressful situations. On numerous occasions 261 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: through the years, I have found myself in difficult predicaments. 262 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: One time, for example, I was flying across the country 263 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: from Nevada to North Carolina when a blizzard struck the 264 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: East Coast, grinding the airline schedules to a halt. I 265 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: waited in line for hours to reach the airline counter. 266 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: Since this was an act of nature in the airline 267 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: was not obliged to offer free hotel accommodations. I watched 268 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: travelers in front of me over and over shout at 269 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: and insult the workers in dramatic displays. When I finally 270 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: reached the counter, I was just the next number in line. 271 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: I had no reason to think I would receive special treatment. However, 272 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: I stepped up to the counter with a calm smile. 273 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: The lady working had a puzzled expression on her face, 274 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: and though I felt just as frustrated and stressed as 275 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: everyone else, I chuckled and said kind, sympathetic things. Despite 276 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: the airline policy, the lady granted me a nice, free 277 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: hotel room for several days while I waited for the 278 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: storm to subside. I have absolutely no doubt that this 279 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: was due to the magic of smiling and my corresponding demeanor. 280 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: I expressed and projected kindness, and that same kindness was 281 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 1: reflected directly back to me. Though it is important to 282 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: be mindful of the force and your relationship with it 283 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: at all times, it is especially important to do so 284 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 1: during times of stress. The more it seems things are 285 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: unraveling around you and those less trained are descending into 286 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: unregulated emotion and disarray, the more powerful you can be 287 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: by sticking to your spiritual connections. So that is the 288 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: section called the Magic of Smiling from my book Use 289 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: the Force and you know what. You don't have to 290 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: be into Star Wars to read this book and gain 291 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 1: wisdom from it. Sometimes people ask me what am I 292 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: most proud of writing, because I've published I don't know, 293 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: well over twenty books at this point. This is the one. 294 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: This is the one I'm most proud of writing. Use 295 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: the Force, a Jedi's Guide to the Law of Attraction, 296 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: And like I say, you can read it for free 297 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: if you go to my website. All right, Next on 298 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: the list, turn on a light box. Light therapy is 299 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: an effective treatment for seasonal effective disorder or SAD SAD, 300 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: but experts agree that it works to treat symptoms of 301 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: major depressive disorder as well feeling blue. You can turn 302 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: on a light box for thirty minutes to an hour 303 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: when you're down, but to feel its full effects, use 304 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: it as part of a daily therapy routine. So here's 305 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: what I guess they're talking about. Like, Okay, I am 306 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: in my studio right now, of course, and because this 307 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: is a studio, and because that I am in Las Vegas, 308 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: which is one of the brightest, sunniest places in the world, 309 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: it looks like a cave in here. I do have 310 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: some windows, but the windows are all still up and 311 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: blacked out, and I've got foam all over the place 312 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: so that you don't hear any pronounced echoes, and so 313 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: sitting inside here, even when it is broad daylight on 314 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: a nice beautiful sunny spring afternoon, I wouldn't know where 315 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: I was or what was going on outside. And when 316 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: you spend enough time in this extremely controlled, isolated environment, 317 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: then sometimes, you know, you do start to feel a 318 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: little depressed. It actually does happen. You just start feeling 319 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: like there's a sense of timelessness. And it's kind of dark, 320 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: and I mean like literally, you know dark, because you 321 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: don't want like, for example, I have a blue screen 322 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: and a green screen here. So sometimes if I go 323 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: on camera, I can control how everything looks, and so 324 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: I have to control the lighting. You get the picture. 325 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: So I actually did go out a few months ago 326 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: and by myself. Well, I say go out, but let's see, 327 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: I believe I got this off of Amazon. I bought 328 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: myself just a little small light that emulates sunlight. It 329 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: just it produces this warm, yellow, soft kind of glow. 330 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: And if you go to Amazon or you can go online, 331 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: you know, it goes you can look anywhere. I just 332 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: type in something like I guess solar, what would you 333 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: look for? I forget what I typed in. It was 334 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: something like in a sun reproduction light or something I 335 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: can't remember. You know, you just mess around, it'll pop 336 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: up for you. The AI knows what you're thinking. But 337 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: you don't necessarily have to get like a UV light, 338 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: because UV lights, like legitimate UV lights, can be very dangerous, 339 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 1: a very bright UV light and you're not supposed to 340 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: look at it. But even with goggles on, I had 341 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: my face around it one time and got a sunburn. 342 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: So you don't necessarily need a UV light, but just 343 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: something that kind of gives you that that sunny sunny 344 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: light impression. And so yeah, you just type in something like, 345 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: you know, indoor sunlight, it'll pop up for you. But 346 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: better yet, is the next tip open the shades. You see, 347 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: this is why my life is always an exception because 348 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: I can't open the shades in the studio, but you 349 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: can possibly in your house. It says if you don't 350 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: have access to a light box, well, the simple act 351 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: of letting in some sunlight can brighten your mood. When 352 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: your workspace or living area is brighter, you tend to 353 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: feel happier, So I would prefer to do that instead 354 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: of the light box. Better yet, is the next tip? 355 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: Go outside? This just becomes more and more simple and stupid, 356 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: doesn't it. Starting to fill down? Well, just head outside, 357 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: soak up some sunshine. So it goes from you can 358 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: turn on a big flashlight in your room to you 359 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: can open the shades to just go outside. Starting to 360 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: fill down, head outside to soak up some sunshine. The 361 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: human body produces vitamin D when exposed to the sun's rays, 362 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: and research suggests that people who are deficient in the 363 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: vitamin are more likely to be depressed, anxious, and tired. 364 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: Step into the sunshine for twenty to twenty five minutes 365 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: of sunlight to lighten your mood naturally. Speaking of vitamin D, 366 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: I will tell you that because that I am fair skinned, 367 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: and I've spent a lot of time out in the 368 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: sun living in the Caribbean and stuff like that, I mean, 369 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: I got to be kind of careful living here in 370 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: Las Vegas because I don't want to get skin cancer. 371 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: So I actually do take a vitamin D supplement every day. 372 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: And I know people a lot of people who say 373 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: that they take a strong vitamin D supplement every day 374 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: and they never get sick. So if you're not able 375 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: to go outside as much as you want, to for 376 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: whatever reason. You know, keep that in mind. But guess 377 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,959 Speaker 1: what when we come back from this break, the next 378 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: tip is eat mushrooms.

And now look, we're not 400 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: talking like cowpasture, it says, A surprising source of vitamin D. 401 00:28:54,800 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: Back to vitamin D again, mushrooms. The tasty vegetab is 402 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: the only plant source of natural vitamin D, and foods 403 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: that contain vitamin D boost serotonin in the brain, putting 404 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: you in a better mood.

Throw some mushrooms into your 406 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: breakfast omelets or lunchtime salads. It's kind of funny. I 407 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: never really thought of mushrooms as vegetables. I just think 408 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: of the you know, fung guy. But yeah, I love 409 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: a mushroom. I don't like these big, huge, fat, slimy, 410 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: thick mushrooms, but you know, normal normal size little pieces 411 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: and stems and slices and stuff like that. And they're 412 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: actually quite easy to grow. I have grown. I think, oh, 413 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: I got a kit that I believe it was like 414 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: oyster mushrooms, very easy and fun to grow in your house. 415 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: And then eat them. Those weren't very tasty, I don't believe. 416 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: But still, so there you go Vitamin D. Everybody says 417 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: that that can change your life. Next we have try meditation, 418 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: says good news. Meditation is a proven stress buster with 419 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: no harmful side effects. Studies have shown that it benefits. 420 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: Let's see. The benefits range from pain reduction to lower 421 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: blood pressure, all the happiness chemicals. You know. Here's the thing. 422 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: I have never been naturally into meditation. Now. Granted, I 423 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: zone out sometimes when certain people are talking. Maybe maybe 424 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: that's a tip, like make a boring friend. You will 425 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: learn how to meditate that instantaneous automatic meditation friend. But 426 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,479 Speaker 1: you know, I know some people they just naturally zone 427 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: out on their own. And that's sort of what meditation is, 428 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: is sort of zoning out because I guess you're just 429 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: sort of relaxing everything. That has never been easy for 430 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: me because my brain is always racing. You can tell, 431 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: you know, that's how you can do a podcast like 432 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: this where you just sit down and talk. It was 433 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: hardly a moment of silence on the in front of 434 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: the microphone here. But here's a trick that I learned, 435 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: and I think this is so simple. But if you know, 436 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: if you're one of these people who has heard about 437 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: meditation your whole life, and I did a whole podcast 438 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: about meditation, I think, and with some tips and tricks. 439 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: But this is one of the easiest things that I found. 440 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: So I went to I think it was Amazon, and 441 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: for like fifteen dollars, I bought this set of little 442 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: hour glasses that are timers, you know, like a egg timer. 443 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: So one of the hourglasses has sand that takes one 444 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: minute to get from top to bottom, and the other 445 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: takes three minutes, and then then the next one takes 446 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: five minutes, and then ten minutes, and then fifteen minutes 447 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: in the thirty minutes. So what I would do is 448 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: I would take this little hour glass and whenever I 449 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: felt like I needed to take a moment, take a 450 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: beat in my life, I would take the one minute 451 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: one and just flip it over and just stare at it. 452 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: Don't You don't have to think about anything unless you 453 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: want to. It's cool if you do take that moment 454 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: to breathe in and out, and maybe you have a 455 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: mantra that you repeat whatever, but you're just watching that 456 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: sand fall from top to bottom for one minute and 457 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: then you go back to what you're doing. If you 458 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: get to where you really enjoy that, well, then you 459 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: can move to the three minute hourglass and do it 460 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: a little bit longer, and you know, you might eventually 461 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: work your way up to the thirty minute hourglass, or 462 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: you might just find like, okay, three is enough or 463 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: one is enough. But you find, you know, that point 464 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: where you're like, this is enough meditation for me, because 465 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: there comes a point where if your brain's too busy, 466 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: you just can't meditate anymore. The brain will say, Okay, 467 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: that's enough, I think. But that's a very simple tip 468 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: for you. I don't even know if these are still 469 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: available on Amazon, but again for like fifteen bucks, and 470 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: even if you don't get a whole set, you know, 471 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: just start with one of these little hourglasses. Just go 472 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: and you know, do a search for something like hourglass, 473 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: sand glass timer, you know that kind of thing, and 474 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: you'll you'll find it easy way to get into meditation. 475 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: Next is smell the oranges. Citrus sense such as orange, lemon, 476 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: and grapefruit bring out positive chemical reactions in your brain 477 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: and they ease stress. So all right, and it says 478 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: even like you know, if you have some So just 479 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: some scent, some orange scent that supposedly helps. I don't 480 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: think I would like that. I'm not a big fan 481 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: of the orange scent thing. But that's what they're saying. 482 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: Next is eat carbs. You don't hear that enough to 483 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: eat carbs as an afternoon snack. You know that afternoon 484 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: mood slump that hits it just the worst time. Well, 485 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: it turns out that you can eat your way to 486 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: a happier, more energized afternoon with carbs. For years, we've 487 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: been hearing that we should avoid carbs, but in reality, 488 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: a low carb diet can make us feel sad and stressed. 489 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: Carbohydrates actually boost mood boosting chemicals in the brain. So, 490 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 1: but you need to focus on healthy whole grain sources. 491 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: So they say, like an afternoon snack of twenty five 492 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: to thirty grams, like a three quarter cup serving of cheerios. 493 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: Now you know, if you hear carbs and you're like, okay, 494 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: now what are carbs again? Because you get all these 495 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 1: dietary urns. I was thrown at you all the time. 496 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: So I went to web MD here and they say 497 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: that carbs are starches, sugars, and fibers found in grains, vegetables, fruit, 498 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: and dairy products. So here are some examples they give 499 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: of carbs at WebMD dot com. They say a pretzel 500 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: is a carb sugary cereal, So that goes back to 501 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: the cheerios thing, canned fruit, donuts, soda, potato chips and 502 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: corn chips, gummy candy, French fries, so fun stuff, you know. 503 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: I think that's what they're saying. It's like, give yourself 504 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:53,959 Speaker 1: a little fun reward in the afternoon. I think that's 505 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: the one tip we will all be following now right. 506 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: Next is play with your pet. So if you have 507 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,240 Speaker 1: a dog or a cat. But it's kind of sad 508 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: that you have to tell people like, hey, play with 509 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: your pet. It's like, why do you have the pet 510 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: if you're not gonna play with it. That's but you know, 511 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: they say, just if you just play with a pet 512 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: for fifteen minutes, it's gonna help you out here. If 513 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: you let me put it this way, If you have 514 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: a pet and you're not playing with it, I the 515 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: Great and Terrible Joshua P. Warren, I am telling you 516 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 1: go play with your pet. Next is take micro breaks. 517 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: Research shows the people who take quick breaks during their 518 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: work day to watch funny videos online, get a high 519 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: emotional payoff, and report feeling more energetic and happy with 520 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: fewer negative emotions. Okay. Next is add turmeric to your mill. 521 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: In America, some people call it turmeric, but I think 522 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be called turmeric, and it has natural 523 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: antidepressant qualities, and it can also help with well rheumatoid arthritis, 524 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 1: osteo arthritis, other inflammatory conditions. I know that when I 525 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, they said take turmeric, so 526 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: I take as much of it as I can. Next 527 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: is listen to music so that should you know what. 528 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: It's easy, too easy to forget that one, but you 529 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: really should listen to music that makes you, you know, 530 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: you feel pumped, you know. Don't listen to sad stuff, 531 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: even if you like it, even if you like a 532 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: sad song for the purpose of a happiness hack and 533 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: getting out of her rut. You know, don't listen to 534 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 1: like he stop loving her today, you know. I mean, 535 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 1: it's a great song, but don't listen to it. And 536 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 1: it says sing along. Supposedly, if you sing along to 537 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: music that is happy, then that makes you happier. Next 538 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: is eat chocolate. I don't think I need to go 539 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: into that one anymore. Next is drink coffee. They say 540 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: that people who drink coffee regularly, and we're talking like, 541 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of cups a day, we're at 542 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: a fifteen percent lower risk of depression. If you're going 543 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: to do that, I recommend you go to the Joshua 544 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: Warren brand Close Encountercoffees dot com Close Encountercoffees dot Com 545 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: and maybe have some of the Close Encounter coffee or 546 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 1: the Banshee Brew or the Bigfooter Brew. That'll make you 547 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: real happy and I'll be happy too. Next is sip 548 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: on some green tea. Next is make a human connection, 549 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: so get away from that screen, just having you know, 550 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: some kind of interaction with the real human. Next is 551 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 1: consume healthy fats so you know you can look up 552 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 1: what a healthy fat is. Eat more salmon. I don't 553 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: care for salmon. I like other types of fish, but 554 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: they say that helps. And last on this list is 555 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: Saint John's wart, which is an herb. Okay, when we 556 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: come back from this break, I'm going to give you 557 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: some metaphysical tips that I think will help in this department. 558 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: And then after all this talk of feeling good, I'm 559 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: going to play for you the sound of one thousand 560 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: Warriors blowing the Aztec death whistle.

Warren and Strange Things. 567 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of 568 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM 569 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:17,439 Speaker 1: Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren. And 570 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: when we look into happiness hacks, we talk a lot, 571 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: of course on this show about manifestation techniques. Whether you 572 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: are using a wishing machine or a miraculous prayer board 573 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: or simple affirmations, there are all kinds of different methods 574 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: to focus on making your life better. And you might think, well, 575 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,360 Speaker 1: if I just instead of like wishing for a certain 576 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 1: thing or try to manifest a certain thing, if I 577 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: just wish to be happy, then everything else should fall 578 00:41:55,719 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: into place. Right. Well, theoretically yes, yes, But the real 579 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: issue is that sometimes happiness is just too broad and general. 580 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: And so sometimes when you want to accomplish a specific 581 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 1: task at a certain time, you have to condense your 582 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:22,839 Speaker 1: effort down to a pinpoint and focus everything on that 583 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: one thing you want to happen. So you have to 584 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: balance it. If you have a certain thing that you 585 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 1: need to accomplish, then that is what you should focus 586 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:38,919 Speaker 1: all of your manifestation tools toward. Otherwise you should sort 587 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: of just tune everything to general happiness. But then, well 588 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,839 Speaker 1: what is that? And I've talked about this before, Like 589 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: one time I was doing a program and a woman said, 590 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: I want to be happy? Do I? Just like she 591 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 1: has a she had a wishing machine. She goes, do 592 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: I just write happy on a piece of paper and 593 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: put that on the input plate? And I said, no, 594 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: that's not going to work, because that's just a word. 595 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 1: So whenever you want to manifest happiness using some metaphysical 596 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 1: tool or technique, you need to find a moment in 597 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: your life that represents happiness to you, such as I 598 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: mean something simple eating an ice cream cone for me, 599 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: and might be a moment snorkeling around a colorful reef, 600 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 1: or maybe just you know, hugging someone you love. I mean, 601 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: just find a moment that represents happiness to you, and 602 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 1: then you want to represent that moment somehow by writing 603 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: a description or having a memento from that moment that 604 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 1: you put into your device or your tool and just 605 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 1: try to resonate that frequency. And that's how you manifest 606 00:43:52,320 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: happiness in general. And you know, again, if you do it, 607 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 1: everything doesn't always fall into place, so sometimes you have 608 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: to switch it up. But now, if you are going 609 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 1: to on a daily basis, try to say place like 610 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: some type of reminders around affirmations around those things, they 611 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: wear out and they get old after a while. And 612 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: so another tip I always love to give people is 613 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 1: if you're going to put affirmations that make you think 614 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 1: positively or feel positively, you need to take also whatever 615 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 1: calendar that you use that you live your life by, 616 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: whether it's on your phone or if you're old fashioned, 617 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,280 Speaker 1: then you just have you know, your little black book 618 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,399 Speaker 1: and your pen, make a note at least every two 619 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: weeks on your calendar to move your affirmations to a 620 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: new spot. Because in doing so you're adding energy by 621 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,800 Speaker 1: going and physically changing where they are. And it also 622 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: changes the way that that you respond because you're always 623 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: more surprised when you see them, and it gives them 624 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,320 Speaker 1: that refreshed filling. And of course the last thing, especially 625 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: if you're struggling with money, is you know what if 626 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 1: you give to charity anonymously, even if it's just five bucks, 627 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,240 Speaker 1: that will start the flow of energy in your life 628 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,960 Speaker 1: that will bring money to you. And you know, there's 629 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 1: a whole big philosophy behind that concept. And if you 630 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: want to know more about it, go to my website, 631 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:38,840 Speaker 1: moneymiraclesecret dot com.

So, hey, 637 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 1: maybe at least one of those tips will help you. 638 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,399 Speaker 1: You don't have to do all of them. Maybe one 639 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 1: thing in this show will help you. And now before 640 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: we end the show, let's switch to what I did 641 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,319 Speaker 1: to recreate the sound of one thousand warriors running at 642 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: you playing the Aztec death whistle. Now again, this is 643 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: a whistle that was used in several zones of ancient Mexica, 644 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 1: as they call it, which mimics the sound of a 645 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: horrifying animal like screeching, which was thought to be used 646 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 1: in warfare to scare away victims. And basically the Spanish 647 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 1: conquistadors wrote about the Aztecs running into battle and playing 648 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 1: all of these like you know, crazy sounding instruments more 649 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,800 Speaker 1: or less. And in fact, if you go to HowStuffWorks 650 00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 1: dot com, they say buried beneath the streets and plazas 651 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: of modern day Mexico City are the ruins of ancient 652 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 1: Aztec temples, where human sacrifices were routinely performed to appease 653 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 1: the gods. In the late nineteen nineties, while excavating a 654 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: circular temple dedicated to Hikatl, the Aztec wind god, archaeologists 655 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: uncovered the remains of a twenty year old boy, beheaded 656 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,320 Speaker 1: and squatting at the base of the temple's main stairway. 657 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 1: What made the Mexico City discovery so remarkable was that 658 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: the skeleton of the human sacrifice was found clutching a 659 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,240 Speaker 1: pair of musical instruments in each hand. They were small 660 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 1: ceramic whistles decorated with a menacing skull's face. The archaeologists 661 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:51,320 Speaker 1: realized the skull image represented Mictlancouli. I'm probably not saying 662 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:55,320 Speaker 1: that right, the Aztec god of the underworld and death itself. 663 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: And from there they began to extrapolate how these whistles 664 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: were used. Okay, so I got an Aztec death whistle 665 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 1: replica and I played it one time before on this show, 666 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 1: just by itself. And then I took a recording of 667 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: that whistle and I played it. Okay, I duplicated that 668 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 1: recording like five times, and I offset it a little 669 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 1: bit each time so it wouldn't be playing it identically 670 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 1: like the same time. And then I took those five 671 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 1: and turned them into ten, and I took those ten 672 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 1: and I turned them into fifty. And I kept doing 673 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 1: this until I built this up to one thousand copies. 674 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,399 Speaker 1: So here is the sound of one thousand of these 675 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:47,800 Speaker 1: whistles being played, all slightly offset to give you maybe 676 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 1: some kind of an impression of what it would sound 677 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,319 Speaker 1: like if a thousand warriors were rushing at you. At 678 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 1: once blowing this terrible instrument of doom. Are you ready? 679 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:21,840 Speaker 1: Here we go three to one. Now I'm going to 680 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,960 Speaker 1: play that again for you in a moment. But one 681 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,799 Speaker 1: thing that's interesting about it is when I played this 682 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: for my wife Laurence, she goes, it's weird because she goes, 683 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like it's offset. It kind of sounds 684 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,920 Speaker 1: like just one big whistle for the most part. And 685 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:40,400 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I guess that is because that the 686 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 1: sound that it makes is actually a very consistent repeating sound. 687 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: So even when you offset it, each instrument kind of 688 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:54,320 Speaker 1: still reinforces each other instrument. And I was reading about 689 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 1: this and they say that they discovered the Aztec death 690 00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 1: whistles were a type of quote air spring whistle, first 691 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:06,240 Speaker 1: invented by the Mayans around seven hundred to eight hundred CE. 692 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 1: When air is blown through the intake tube, it interacts 693 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:15,320 Speaker 1: with a well or spring of air inside a rounded 694 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,880 Speaker 1: internal chamber, creating distortions. So like, I don't know what 695 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 1: all that means, but apparently you know there is some 696 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 1: kind of a consistency there, like a certain I mean, 697 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: you think of a spring and you think of it 698 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 1: like coiling up and then and then you know, releasing 699 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 1: and coiling and releasing. So okay, here we go. Now 700 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,839 Speaker 1: that you know what to expect one more time, here 701 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,399 Speaker 1: is the sound of a thousand warriors best I can 702 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:45,799 Speaker 1: come up with, all raging in the battle playing the 703 00:50:45,840 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 1: Aztec death whistle. There you go. And if you were 704 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 1: trying to go to sleep, sorry, you are going to 705 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 1: be up for a while. And now let's end the 706 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: show with a much more pleasant and prosperous tone, shall we. 707 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,759 Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about.
