Welcome back Jack Canfield to Invest Diva movement thank you so much for being
here we are in our house stuck in the quarantine and we are talking about fear
it is something that i feel anyone has felt it recently regardless of the
amount of success or wealth the you have had and i wanted to take your take on it
how to overcome fear and move forward and actually be productive and the times
like this well fear is something that shows up a lot whenever there's anything
threatening in the environment right now we have this coronavirus pandemic we
have a financial downturn in the markets we have a lot of people who peter lost
their job or afraid of losing her job has seen other people lose their job
they're seeing all these numbers rising of people that are in the hospital on
ventilators and so forth so the thing about fear that you have to realize so
fear is self-created even if there was a snake in your room
crawling toward you you'd have to go into the future and imagine it biting
you or biting your child's eye see you have a little playpen behind you but in
order to feel afraid then the reality is in the present moment nothing Bad's
happening you're just watching a snake crawl across the floor
so basically when you're in the present moment and you're in the present dealing
with what you have now things are fine almost everyone watching this is sitting
at home they're fine they're healthy the people they know and love are healthy
they're we've got food in the refrigerator food in the pantry they
have the ability to go out the gut I saw a wonderful cartoon of a guy he had so
much toilet paper he didn't build an igloo out of it and he was inside
looking out like afraid like the toilet paper was gonna keep him safe but anyway
so the idea being that you want to come back into the present moment this is
where meditation and mindfulness comes in really healthy so in the present
moment like take a moment to stop and say okay what am I feeling in my body
what's really going on it's just my thoughts that are making me scared so
now we have a bunch of options number one we can replace the thoughts with the
positive thought a couple of years ago when the was more
in a couple years in 2008 when their big meltdown happened and economically I was
in New Hampshire giving a talk to real estate people Remax franchise owners and
everybody was down about forty to fifty percent except one guy there was one guy
in a room it was him and I went up to him and I said everyone
tells me you're doing really well everyone else was down 4050 percent
I hear you're up he says I am I said well I want to bring you to the front of
the room and interview you so he said ok so after the break I brought him up
I said Frank tell me about what's going on what thoughts are you thinking that
are different than everyone else in the room he said everyone else was thinking
thoughts like oh my god I'm gonna have to lay people off you know the mortgage
people I work with they're gonna go out of business I'm not gonna close that
sale I had this is really a bad time am I gonna make it he said my self-talk is
I always do well no matter what's going on in the economy and so his self-talk
was different he was staying in the present moment
and then we talked about what he was doing differently than everyone else
everyone else was like cutting back on their advertising afraid to spend money
etc he was like doing more advertising and I met a woman during that time who
was I do a lot of talks for real estate groups and um she was not selling a lot
of houses at a time but what she was doing that she decided I'm going to
teach women how to buy their first house because I've got all these single moms
I've got all these women that are working in Silicon Valley who were young
and they they're making some money but they'd only think about the how to buy a
house so she started doing these classes on Saturdays you know in the morning for
people who want to learn how to buy a house when the market finally came back
guess who everyone went and bought a house from this woman so the idea was
because they didn't get scared and stayed in the present moment and said
okay what can I do right now and what can I think not being in their amygdala
being up in a prefrontal cortex they were able to get through that now
another technique is called EFT tapping you're probably familiar with the
emotional freedom technique where we tap on nine different active pressure points
while we think this fear of loss or this fear of the market going down it is fear
of going bankrupt or fear of being you know just dispossessed or what sword I
want evicted from my apartment or whatever and literally within three to
five minutes you get rid of any fear or phobia if you use
EFT the challenge is when you're afraid you forget the things you know to do to
not be afraid anymore so let's hope this is a reminder to people to use these
skills if you don't know how to do EFT tapping just go to go to YouTube type in
EFT tapping and you'll see hundreds and hundreds of videos you just tap along
with any one of the practice nurses doing it and get rid of that there's a
there's a thing in meditation we know that when you breathe in through your
heart and out through your heart what does that mean you imagine inhaling air
into your heart instead of into your lungs this way and you exhale imagine
that's coming out of your heart and then you imagine someone you love or some
person or place like it might be your child you send them love you'll
appreciate them and really get into a state of appreciation I know I'm there
when I'm smiling when I start to smoke and I always send it to my wife and I'm
just like I love her so much I appreciate her so much and when I get
that smile I know I'm there the woman who wrote the secret would do
appreciation and gratitude exercise in the morning she wouldn't start writing
until a tear came down in her face she said once I was in that space
I was totally creative I was tapped into the universal intelligence so anything
that raises your vibration brings you into gratitude and love and joy will
take you out of fear the third the fourth thing I lost count but the other
thing you can do is imagine the positive outcome so if fear is imagining a
negative outcome joy and being in the present moment would be imagining the
positive outcome in the future so instead of I'm losing my house oh I'm
gonna have creative ideas to make even more money I'm gonna get through this
with you no more friends gonna have more impact we know a lot of people are going
hey the markets going down yeah it is and guess what it always comes back up I
remember because I'm 75 years old whatever it'll never go to 10,000 it'll
never do it then it was it'll never go to 20,000 it'll never go to 29,000 and
it crashed I've been through three recessions two wars 9/11 you know it
always comes back so if think about this everyone listening to this right now you
have survived everything that ever happened to you
anything is ever happened you you know abusive parents alcoholic husband's you
know whatever it is you survived it so you'll survive this and if you start
with that attitude and belief I will survive there's nothing to be afraid of
except my thoughts you know it was a Franklin Roosevelt's and nothing to fear
but for yourself so we need to be reminded and you can
put little reminders around your house you know tapping EFT breathing exercises
just taking a moment to breathe into the count of six and out for the count of
six and you focus on the sensations your body that will get rid of fear so
there's a lot of techniques to get rid of the fear and then when you're not
gonna fear anymore then you can be rational can make intelligent decisions
and can be creative that is amazing for people who are working from watching
this at home the number three number four that you mentioned I actually did
interview Margaret Margaret Lynch one area for tapping I'm gonna add a link to
that YouTube video in the description and for appreciation I actually
interview color wise she has an appreciation gratitude app and it's just
amazing how these little things if you do it consistently can really help you
shift not only from fear but really becoming more successful which is what
in whatever area I feel you want to be which is where we want to go we want to
go from fear to a positive state where we are happy and successful so um these
are these are absolutely great great tips is there anywhere in the book that
you just released that you actually work on fear and there are some exercises
that people can take when I yes chapter 8 talks of mine it says everything you
want is on the other side of fear return to that page of my own book right now
starts on 110 and it's first of all you look you know the fear is not a terrible
thing I mean if you're walking down the street you hear someone walking behind
you in a late night you know in New York City you know it heightens your
awareness and you get into will recall you know heighten the illness and you go
into protection mode which gives you the ability to run faster or fight faster
you're more muscular and all that problem with most of the things in fear
scary our own thoughts and we get this
constant stress going on which puts us in a court of stall which by the way
lowers your immune system which is the last thing you want to be doing right
now there's a man named Austin Church and he has a meditation on YouTube
called eco meditation EC o meditation and the research on this it's a 20
minute meditation and you can watch it every day if you watch that for seven
days in a row and do it there's actually peer-reviewed journal research with
scientists that show that your immune system your immunoglobin is in your
saliva which is what you want right now because this comes in through your nose
and mouth though the corona virus increases by a hundred and thirteen
percent so imagine doubling your immune response to the corona virus simply from
doing a 20 minute meditation every day so the meditation is cool because it
combines two things we've talked about it combines breathing it combines
tapping and it combines breathing in through your heart which is the heart
math that quick coherence con process which combines your head and your heart
which makes you more creative so that's an amazing resource that everyone should
be aware of and the last thing I would say about fear there's really not that
much to be afraid of right now if you're not someone who's living with a
compromised immune system because of pneumonia or maybe you have asthma or
things like that a chance of you getting ill and and not surviving is about 0.001
percent so and if you're in that case you need to sequester yourself you need
to not be out there in the environment you need to be smart about but most
people as long as you stay out of fear and your immune system is strong and you
don't want to be in fear because it will weaken your immune system then what
happens is you're gonna get through this you'll get something and it feels like
the flu ninety ninety six percent of cases that
were considered severe where they went on ventilators in China people are
healthy now they're walking around so we have the capacity to heal ourselves
especially and this is a time to eat well it's a time not to be eating a lot
of sugar and it's a time to exercise anything that brings your heat up
exercise saunas you know keep the heat on your house do Bikram yoga but don't
go to a studio do it in your own home sweat drink hot teas drink hot food as
opposed to making blender drinks with ice in it all those
things are going to help you survive and then take vitamin C b12
you know tumeric there's things like that you can go online and say what a
good supplement to take and then you then you know you're doing everything
you can do and then it's let it go and live your life right but I do want to
actually point here just because you overcome your fear doesn't mean that you
should go be going out so please stay
your life live your life behind your home your doors because I mean even if
of course a lot of us could potentially survive this but it's it's it's for the
sake of other people and gliding the curve and the doctors and the nurses so
definitely don't be fearful use this time to be productive and use this time
to really serve other people but stay home this is such a good time I teach
something called the hour of power which is 20 minutes of meditation 20 minutes
of reading and 20 minutes of exercise if you do that every day you're gonna be
healthier wealthier and wiser and so this is a great time whether it's my
book the success Roswell's workbook or whether it's money of your books or of
course you have of course I have whatever take this time and go through
the exercises so that at the end of this period where we're sequestered at home
you're not the same person we all have most people were driving to
work for at least a half an hour sometimes an hour both ways and you now
have this time to take better self-care to educate yourself do the kind of
exercises we're talking about here and you know at first I thought my books
launching right in the middle of coronavirus this is terrible then I
really know this is an opportunity people have the time to actually do it
ya know absolutely 100% again thank you so much jack for coming back on the show
you guys if you haven't got this book already you need to get this you need to
work on this while in quarantine and even afterwards because this actually
takes time and practice like I've been doing these things for 10 years and
still I get it long because you know you just forget things so you want to have
it you want to keep doing it and you want to continue practicing this so
thank you so much again for being on the show you guys let us know what you think
