Notice the Absence of Pain. Mastery Newsletter March 29, 2017

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

This is one of the greatest sources of joy in life.

Most of the time, I am not feeling pain.

Noticing the absence of pain is not natural though.

We have to train for this.

“We are hardwired to notice the arising of a phenomenon—such as sight or sound for example—we sense if, perceive it, cognize it, and then thoughts arise out of it. In other words, the mind is stimulated to participate in that phenomenon.”

-Joy on Demand, Chade-Meng Tan.

We are not hardwired to notice the lack of a stimulus. We have to bring awareness to it.

This awareness can be trained to be a mental habit.

This is how: Notice if you have any pain. Then notice where you are not in pain.

Remind yourself of that. If any joy arises from that thought, attend to that joy!

Example, if you have a backache, ask if you have a toothache. If not, say “I don’t have a toothache right now.”

You can notice lack of emotional pain too.

“I am not suffering the pain of hatred right now.”

Attend to any joy that arises.

The more you do it, the easier it becomes. The more it becomes a habit.

What joy can you attend to right now by noticing a lack of pain?

“Habits don’t change in a day. But 1% improvement every day makes every habit work” — James Altucher

Scams and Fears. Mastery Newsletter March 22, 2017

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

(Reading time 45 seconds. Plus 2 minutes 25 seconds for the Tax Scam article)

 

Scammers use our fears to dominate, intimidate and manipulate us.

 

If we drop our fears (easier said than done), scammers have no leverage over us.

 

These fears are subconscious. That’s why it’s easier said than done.

 

Fears lodge when we are traumatized to lesser and greater degrees.

 

The trauma can be as simple as someone cutting us off in traffic. That creates a rush of adrenaline.

 

Unless we take a few moments to release it, that trauma lodges as muscular tension.

 

Animals shake off their traumas by trembling for a few minutes.

 

We humans have become used to not shake things off…certainly not in public.

 

Laughter works. I use it all the time when a driver does something silly.

 

Trembling works. Deep breathing. Smiling. Visualizations (pull over for that one).

 

What do you do to release tensions created by fright inducing situations?

 

 

This article was triggered by an alert issued by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Scammers have been targeting seniors recently in Canada.

 

When you read this article, just substitute your own tax authority. IRS in the USA, Inland Revenue in the UK and so on.

 

Tax Scam Article

 

(reading time 2 minutes 25 seconds)

 

 

DON’T GET SCAMMED.

CRA SCAMS INCREASING

 

CRA Issues Alert:

More reports are coming in about scammers posing as CRA agents on the phone.

CRA will never ask for your personal information on the phone.

 

Scammers have been asking taxpayers for info such as social insurance number, credit card number, bank account number, or passport number.

 

Sometimes the scammer sends the taxpayer to a fake CRA website. There you are to enter some personal info to identify yourself. Don’t go to the site and definitely don’t click in there.

 

If CRA calls you, you can ask for there phone number and call them back. Check directory listing to make sure the phone number is an actual CRA number.

 

To identify communications not from the CRA, be aware of these guidelines.

If you have signed up for online mail from CRA, they will do the following:

* Send a registration confirmation email to the address you provided for online mail service for an individual or a business; and

* Send an email to the address you provided to notify you when new online mail is available to view in the CRA’s secure online services portal.

 

CRA will NOT send you an email with a link and ask you to divulge personal or financial information;

* ask for personal information of any kind by email or text message.

* request payments by prepaid credit cards.

* give taxpayer information to another person, unless formal authorization is provided by the taxpayer.

* leave personal information on an answering machine.

 

Exception

The exception is if you call the CRA to request a form or a link for

specific information, a CRA agent will forward the information you

are requesting to your email during the telephone call.

This is the only circumstance in which the CRA will send an email

containing links.

 

When in doubt, ask yourself the following:

* Did I sign up to receive online mail with CRA?

* Did I provide my email address on my income tax and benefit return to receive mail online?

* Am I expecting more money from the CRA?

* Does this sound too good to be true?

* Is the requester asking for information I would not provide in my tax return?

* Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me?

 

How to protect yourself from identity theft (from CRA website).

* Never provide personal information by email.

The CRA does not ask you to provide personal information by email.

* Be suspicious if you are ever asked to pay taxes or fees

to the CRA on lottery or sweepstakes winnings. You do not

have to pay taxes or fees on these types of winnings. These

requests are scams.

* Keep your access codes, user ID, passwords, and PINs

secret. Make sure they are different for each website too!

* Keep your address current with all government

departments and agencies.

* Choose your tax preparer carefully! Make sure you

choose someone you trust and check their references. Always review your return, agree with the content before filing, and follow up to make sure you receive your notice of assessment, since it contains important financial and personal information that belongs to you.

* Before supporting any charity, use the CRA website at www.cra.gc.ca/charities to find out if the

charity is registered and get more information on the way it does business.

* Be careful before you click on links in any email you receive. Some criminals may be using a technique known as phishing to steal your personal information when you click on the link.

* Caller ID is a useful function. However, the information displayed can be altered by criminals. Never use only the displayed information to confirm the identity of the caller whether it be an individual, a company or a government entity.

* Protect your social insurance number. Don’t use it as a piece of ID and never reveal it to anyone unless you are certain the person asking for it is legally entitled to that information. If an organization asks for your social insurance number, ask if it is legally required to collect it, and if not, offer other forms of ID. CRA can ask for SIN as can any institution likely to pay you income. This would include banks, mutual funds and whole life insurance policies.

* Pay attention to your billing cycle and ask about any missing account statements or suspicious transactions.

* Shred unwanted documents or store them in a secure place. Make sure that

documents with your name and SIN are secure.

* Immediately report lost or stolen credit or debit cards.

* Carry only the ID you need.

* Do not write down any passwords or carry them with you.

* Ask a trusted neighbour to pick up your mail when you are away or ask

that a hold be placed on delivery.

* Consider a password protected password list.

Dealing with Disappointment. Mastery Newsletter March 15, 2017

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

It’s not so easy.

 

The Toastmasters International Speaking Competition was underway. I had entered. I really hoped and expected to win at the first stage, the club level.

 

I put a lot of work into prepping. I whittled down my talk to ensure I would stay within the seven and a half minutes allotted. Going over means elimination.

 

I knew I had to have a strong opening and closing. A good story arc was essential, tying the concepts together.

 

I included a story. Us humans love stories.

 

I tried for some humour and did get a chuckle or two. Good.

 

Audience involvement. Had to work at that, but got some of that too.

 

My topic was “Super-Motivation.”

 

Recently I had learned that dopamine is the hormone of motivation. So I had great material to work with.

 

I also knew I had to up my game with more animation. While I can be expressive with my voice, I sometimes don’t use gestures and facial expression enough.

 

Had to smile too. I look quite dour when I don’t smile.

 

As you will note, I took a lot of pains to fine tune this thing.

 

Truth be told, I thought I would ace it.

 

Not to be.

 

The winning talk was incredibly good. About a Volkswagen being decimated and torn apart in an automatic car wash. Superb delivery. Got tons of laughs. He really deserved it.

 

But…I WAS disappointed. I had so hoped to win.

 

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn’s quote came to mind. In reaching to become a millionaire, it is not about what you achieve, but about who you become in making the effort.

 

I certainly learned a lot by entering the contest. AND I now have the base of my signature talk which I can use going forward.

 

That’s a win.

 

When we compete, we sharpen our skills. Definite win there.

 

Still…

 

I woke up in the middle of the night feeling the emotion. Perhaps it was resentment.

 

I am grateful to have some techniques that helped out.

 

Deep and slow breathing.

 

Directing my intention to release the jaw muscles and the eye muscles. That always is great.

 

Plus allowing the body to tremble.

 

When we face disappointment, I find it useful to consider that it is trauma, emotional trauma.

 

One does not want to hang on to that.

 

My body has picked up the ability to release it by trembling. See David Berceli’s work with the Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_%26_Trauma_Releasing_Exercises

 

I use laughter a lot to release trauma. 3 am was not a great time for it, so these other techniques helped a lot.

 

Lesson: It’s not about “getting over it.”

 

Often that means burying the trauma. It can mean the muscular tension remains. No sense carrying that kind of weight.

 

It’s more about releasing. Allowing it to have full sway and moving through the emotional and physical bodies.

 

What do you do to release the effects of disappointment in your life?

Why Posture is Critical. Mastery Newsletter March 6, 2017

Before you blame your pillow…Improving your posture could help reduce muscle pain, joint pain and headaches.

 

If you often find yourself suffering from neck and back pain, you may have blamed your pillow or even your bed for the discomfort, but the problem might have nothing to do with your furniture and everything to do with the way you carry yourself.

Motivation Takes More Than Courage. Mastery Newsletter March 1, 2017

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Blogs, Joy, Energy and Health, Mastery Newsletter

Motivation takes hormones.

Yes, there is a physical basis to motivation.

You can get motivated by a motivational speaker.

But how long does it last?

And anyway, that is motivation from the outside.

How can we get motivated from the inside?

 

By generating a hormone called dopamine.

Dopamine is a molecule that neurons release to communicate with each other.

Some research shows that high levels of dopamine makes us feel good.

Great! I will just get a prescription for it, yeah?

 

Prescriptions Don’t Work

A friend of mine actually did that.

He was depressed. The Doc gave him a dopamine prescription.

You should have heard him on the phone. A man transformed.

I was so happy to hear him with such joy on the phone…for the first time in a long time.

He was touting the benefits of this drug he was taking. I could not believe it.

“Man, I feel so good. I look forward to every day now.

I enjoy everything so much more.”

Not much later, I talked to him again.

He was depressed again. Couldn’t figure out why.

He was still taking the dopamine as prescribed.

Here’s what I think happened.

What we need is for the dopamine to hit the reward centre in the brain.

(FYI: The reward centre is called the Nucleus Accumbens.

You can use that to impress your friends at your next party.)

 

The Brain’s Reward Centre

When my friend took the oral dopamine, it went everywhere in the body.

It hit the reward centre alright.

But over time, its effect was dampened.

Taking dopamine orally doesn’t target the reward centre.

To do that, to hit the bull’s eye, we need to generate dopamine internally.

 

How to Generate Dopamine Internally

How do we do that?

Exercise is one way.

You’ve heard of the “runner’s high?”

Exercising vigorously floods the body with “feel good” hormones.

We’re talking dopamine and endorphins.

 

Generating Motivation

That feel good factor is where we find the motivation as well.

“Researchers have shown that it (dopamine) regulates motivation,

causing individuals to initiate and persevere to obtain something either positive or negative.”

-Source: Science Daily

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130110094415.htm

 

 

Exercise Targets Your Reward Centre

But, and here is the critical difference, exercise actually targets the reward centre.

Exercise is like the bow. The arrow is dopamine. The target is the Nucleus Accumbens.

 

You Can Get Addicted, in a Good Way

Now, be careful. You can get addicted to this.

In fact, addictions are thought be, at least in part, to this release of dopamine in the reward centre of the brain.

You may know some folks who are addicted to running. Or to other types of exercise.

Drug addictions might be attributed to this release of dopamine too.

But, if you had to choose an addiction, which would you rather have?

Drugs or exercise?

 

More Good News

You can get the “Dopaminergic upregulation to the Nucleus Accumbens” another way.

 

Laughter!

A minimum of 10-15 minutes of laughter generates the same flood of feel good hormones as the runner’s high.

Plus, it’s a lot of fun to laugh together. Maybe more so than solitary running.

 

Join a Laughter Yoga club.

Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders are trained to get your feel good hormones happening.

You can also just download my laughter video and laugh with me on video for 10 minutes a day. Go here:

http://joyenergyandhealth.com/

 

You are meant for great things. Get motivated.

You now have one failsafe method for doing it.

Let me know how it goes.

 

To Your Joy, Energy and Health,

 

 

Matti
