So if you're setting goals and they're aligned to the highest values and they're
prioritized actions and you see it in your mind's eye and you follow the
strategy, you have moderate, focused, inspired actions.
This is Dr. Demartini.
I'd like to take a few moments and have a nice little conversation about
taking actions in life or hesitations in life, or another aspect,
doing something too much or too little.
And I'll pack that by explaining this. In all probability,
you've had a moment in your life where you were maybe on a weekend relaxing
not doing much around the house possibly,
and all of a sudden a friend contacted you and said, Hey,
they're in the neighborhood and they're stopping by and they'll be there in 15
minutes. And you have two different responses.
You're dirty. You're not cleaned up, your hair looks like a mess.
You're just cashing out.
And all of a sudden this person's coming and you really would rather not be seen
that way. So you have two options when you're under that anxiety,
you could run around the house and clean up the house really quick and quickly
get your hair together and just go rushing around and doing things in
hyperdrive.
Or you could sit there and throw yourself on the bed and just give up and just
say the heck with it.
'I guess I have to just face the idea that I look like crap today,
and they're going to see me.' And that's hypo drive.
You could commit in actions and go into hyper,
or you could just give up and go the other direction.
When you're under an anxiety like that you have two responses,
too much of an activity, hyper, command yourself,
running around and cleaning up the place, everything else, getting hair fixed,
something like that, get 15 minutes to d it, or just go the heck with it,
give up, forget it, stop. So when you're under an anxiety,
you can go into hyper and hypo.
You've heard the term hype in the business and success world and selling world
and things like that. Somebody selling hype,
hyper and hypo is that,
nothing but an imbalanced, distorted response to a stimulus.
Then there's another thing called action or, inaction, slightly different.
When you're setting a goal that is aligned with your highest values and it's
really congruent, the blood supply goes into the forebrain,
the executive in the medial prefrontal cortex comes online
and it sees with foresight an inspired vision of what you would love to do.
It literally shows you a strategic plan on how to do it.
You have the yearning to execute that plan immediately because you're inspired
by it.
And it automatically sends impulses down into the amygdala to shut off the
impulses where the hyper and hypo is.
You literally have self-governance and you take refined actions that are
prioritized according to strategy, not too much, not too little,
and you're really dead center and you're basically poised, you're present,
you're purposeful, you're productive. You're really empowered in other words.
So when you're living your highest values, you take action, but it's not hyper,
it's not hypo. It's not too much, not too little. It's very refined.
The higher end of the brain does refine motor skills.
The lower areas of the brain, the more primitive part of the brain,
is more spastic, too much, too little. Acceleration,
deceleration, stimulus or inhibition.
So what happens is when we're living by our highest values,
we have moderate focused high priority actions that achieve that we take actions
on. We don't hesitate. We see it in our mind's eye. We take actions on it.
When things are not aligned to our highest values, we tend to procrastinate,
hesitate, and frustrate. And then when we are forced into action,
we tend to go too much or too little, the commission and omission.
We judge ourselves and get judged from others, according to that hyper and hypo,
too much, too little,
but we are loved and appreciate and respected and inspired when we're sitting
there poise and present and following a strategic plan and sticking to priority.
So if you're setting goals and they're aligned to the highest values and they're
prioritized actions,
and you see it in your mind's eye and you follow the strategy,
you have moderate, focused, inspired actions, but if you don't,
you're going to be vulnerable to that same response when somebody calls you in
an emergency and you're in a stimulus response animal behavior,
where you give up or you'll get totally into hyperactive, hyperdrive.
The bottom two will cause stress and distress and age you.
The other one will cause eustress and create a wellness for your life. So,
very important to know what your highest value is to set goals that are
congruent with it, to prioritize your actions, to allow you to get strategies,
to follow the strategies.
Alec MacKenzie in his 'Time Trap' showed that people that go the farthest in
life and achieve the most in life plan with a strategic plan,
execute those plans,
delegate lower priority things and get focused on things in a moderate,
incremental, progressive manner. If not,
you're going to be stuck in the hyper and hypo drives and be emotional and
let the animal inside you run you that's out of governance that needs a cage.
Because if you don't govern yourself from within, you get governed from without,
but if you're inspired from within you get the most productive and most inspired
actions that are moderated and governed and refined.
So if you want a refined life or really grossly over done life,
the key is to live by high priorities, not low priorities.
