We all know thoughts create things, and that changing our thoughts can change our reality. We've known it since Napoleon Hill and Think and Grow Rich.
But while people have written hundreds of books on it over the last 30-50 years, none of them address the core belief...or how to change our beliefs!
Kimberly Heart, ultra-successful career coach to Fortune 500 and 100 CEO's, top exec's, and entrepreneurs does just that, diving into our subconscious and how to rewire our hearts our minds, and our lives!
This is a talk about changing yourself to attract everything you desire into your life. Whether that’s healthier relationships, a better job, the love of your life, greater happiness, everything all starts on the inside. So she shows you how to recognize and begin the process of change…AND how to do it without needing a cosmic hit with a 2x4. In our society we hold up people who martyr themselves for change, she talks about how kind, gentle, and loving change can be for yourself, and that it doesn’t require pain. In fact, self-love is the most important place to start and to attract into your life everything you desire.
She talks about reprogramming your subconscious, fixing your inner wiring, and moving past the programming we’ve add since we were a little child, or as she calls it “the seven year old driving the ship”. She talks about healing the inner child, and healing the subconscious, and how freeing, liberating, and how great it feels. And she talks about taking our lives to a new level, both through exercises in her book, and by working with a mentor to be there in a guiding, non-judgmental way to help you make the big changes. Talks about a never-ending process of growth, how growth is our life’s work, but also how beautiful it can be.
And talks about our childhood, why our wiring is the way it is, how we can rewire almost in an instant. And how important it is to work on ourselves for our kids. That we must put the oxygen mask on first for ourselves, before helping our kids. How are kids will mirror us, so if we’re martyring ourselves and unhappy in the name of taking care of our kids, our kids will learn to be unhappy, and untrusting in what we say (do as I say, not as I do).
Last, talks about the value of helping others and changing the world, and that change, truly is an inside job. Change ourselves first and foremost, just as loving ourselves first and foremost, to change the world.

---An Interview with John Gray, World's Number One Best-Selling Author of Men are From Mars, and Staying Focused in a Hyperactive World - Natural Solutions for ADHD, Memory, and Brain Performance---
If you’ve wondered why so many of us and our kids are diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and given prescription drugs today, or if you suspect you may have ADD yourself…and what in the world to do about it, then do we have the show for you!
We’ll be speaking with John Gray, author of the Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, the ground-breaking best-selling non-fiction book of all time and of Staying Focused in a Hyper World.
This is a fascinating topic to me, I coached kids and adults with ADD for over ten years, and I once wrote a best-seller on it myself - College Confidence with ADHD. Yes, I was once called the worst student my teachers ever had, and was put on Ritalin years before they even had the term ADD.
Today we’ll talk about what ADD really is, if you or your kids may have it, and what in the world to do about, NATURALLY.
If it wasn’t for the rewiring of my mind I’ve done, I’d say I’m bouncing out of my seat for the answers!

---Having Been Sick from Mold Toxicity, and With My Co-Host and Wife Jessica Lee STILL struggling and on a very long-road back to recovery from Mold Toxicity Poisoning, this is our perhaps our most important interview yet.---
DETAILS: The hosts of Inspire Nation have been living in a mold-infested house for four years, slowly withering away without knowing why. They were very impressed by MOLDY and the webinar and will interview Dave Asprey, producer, and host of Bulletproof Radio about the film. Jessica is taking a break from co-hosting as she still has mold toxicity and gets very fatigued, but this is an important interview for her so she will join for this one.
Introduction:
Today we have a very special guest. His name is Dave Asprey.
Dave Asprey is the founder of The Bulletproof Executive, is a Silicon Valley investor and technology entrepreneur who spent two decades and over $300,000 to hack his own biology. Dave lost 100 pounds without counting calories or excessive exercise, used techniques to upgrade his brain by more than 20 IQ points, and lowered his biological age while learning to sleep more efficiently in less time. Learning to do these seemingly impossible things transformed him into a better entrepreneur, a better husband, and a better father.
Dave is the creator of the widely popular Bulletproof Coffee, host of the radio show and #1 health podcast, Bulletproof Radio, and author of the New York Times bestselling book, THE BULLETPROOF DIET.
Dave’s newest venture, the first Bulletproof Coffee shop is scheduled to open in Santa Monica, California in early 2015. His Bulletproof Films released the company’s first documentary film, MOLDY, in June 2015. – which is the topic of conversation today.
Background:
Before we begin, a bit of background on us. This year Jessica and I moved from Maui to her parents place in New Jersey. It was an emergency move, after our health came crashing down around us. We didn’t know what was going on. For two years Jessica was getting sicker and sicker. We thought it was the air from a neighboring volcano, until we realized getting her out of the house, and into an air conditioned car or anywhere else on the island and suddenly she’d feel better. Get her out, she felt human, and became a little chatterbox. Bring her home, she’d been exhausted, unable to speak intelligently, frazzled, with headaches, nausea and feeling sick.
For myself, my downward slide took the form of an old and fragile body…with unexplainable minor injury after injury, and with a fall that lead to a near death accident---later tested to reveal incredibly weak bone density, despite lots of activity. On top of that I struggled with brain fog. For Jessica, this meant she was back in bad, almost unable to finish sentences by the time it was noon. For me, it meant the shortest attention span and inability to multi-task I’ve ever experienced. And this from a life coach who’s specialized in working with those with ADD, myself included.
It wasn’t until a week before we left, with the world crashing down around us, that the cleaners found a carpet 1 inch thick of black mold on the upper level of the house where we couldn’t see it. It was in the walls, on all upper surfaces, on the ceiling, and even in the skylights…though we’d been told it was dirt.
We are so lucky to have gotten out. The previous tenant who lived in our home for seven years, came down with what we believe was terminal brain cancer.
On that light note, let’s jump right into things.

Today we’re going to do a very special and sacred meditation used by Hawaiian’s and ancient Polynesian cultures for thousands of years.
It’s called Hooponopono. It’s a meditation or practice of forgiveness, reconciliation, and cleansing. It’s the perfect meditation to do if you’re not feeling well, if your struggling physically, or emotionally, if you’re having relationship troubles, guilt or anxiety. This is an extremely powerful meditation to help you hit the reset button, or clear the programming in your mind, and if you believe in it, clear your karma away as well.
This meditation fits perfectly with today’s guest, Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, talking about loosening our grip on reality, using Quantum Mechanics to make Quantum leaps in our lives. Hooponopono helps us make these leaps by cleaning our minds and letting go of negative attachments.

Do you ever wish you could find a way to heal, to overcome injuries, serious illness, even cancer, or nagging pain or other physical problems that keep coming back or will never go away? If so, then do we have the guest for you!
Her name is Brenda Michaels, she’s the nationally syndicated radio show host of Conscious Talk radio, and the amazing co-author of the book the Gift of Cancer.
She’s also been an incredible mentor, guide, and I’d even say a guardian angel in helping get our show off the ground.
Now Brenda knows a thing or two about repeating patterns and rising above them. She’s struggled with negative emotions, poor relationships and had cancer three times before digging deep and learning how to truly heal. Now she’s been cancer free for over 25 years!
Personally, I’ve also had my challenges with repeating patterns, in particular with major injuries over the years. So I’ll always fascinated to talk with Brenda about recognizing challenges, rewriting the programming in our minds, and learning to rise about it.
Today we’ll talk about writing new programming and shifting your consciousness to a higher level, to truly heal from the inside out.
Key Topics Include:

This is a personal favorite of mine. It’s so simple, you can do it any time of the day, from a few seconds, to a few minutes, even 20 minutes or more.
I personally recommend it first thing in the morning, any time you’re not feeling great, and in the early evening hours as well. When I was seriously injured in the past, I’d use this meditation two to three times a day to rest the body, boost the immune system, and give the body the extra kick it needs to help me heal.

Hi everyone, Michael Sandler here your host on inspire nation. Today we have a very short, yet powerful happiness meditation. It’s similar to gratitude ones, but really focused on rewiring the mind for the positive.
It was inspired by my interview with Steve Achor, one of the world’s leading researchers on happiness, a partner with Oprah on an O-Course, and the best-selling author of the Happiness Advantage and Before Happiness.
You can find his interview on our Inspire Nation Show and on our website at InspireNationShow.com.
This meditation can be done anytime of the day, but I recommend it first thing after you get up in the morning, or definitely before you head out the door.
This is a great one to commit to for 21 days.
That’s how long it takes to make a habit, and according to Shawn Achor, America’s #1 Happiness Expert, focusing on gratitude and happiness for 21 days yields massive long-term results.
This is a meditation that gets easier over time. At first, it’s difficult for the mind, as we’re not wired to find happiness quickly. But that changes rapidly, creating new neural pathways, or literally changing the wiring of your mind.
You can find more meditations from me and our guests on our Inspire Nation Show and InspireNationShow.com.

Learn how to achieve incredible success through mindfulness, focus, perseverance and joy! Discover how following your heart, and loving your family lead to world record performance! | Inspiration | Motivation | Spirituality | Mindfulness | Self-Help | Career | Business | Tony Robbins
Today we have a very special treat. An interview recently recorded for our mindful running program with Deena Kastor, Olympic bronze medalist, masters world record holder in the marathon, and US womens record holder for the marathon. If you want to know what it takes to be a champion and to find success, both at your career, your family, and in all that you do, than do we have a show for you!
Deena Kastor Discusses Mindfulness, Focus, Balance – and Family, and how to succeed at it all!
The following article was written, based on this podcast and interview!
At 5'4" and only 104 pounds, no one knew quite what to expect as 41-year-old Deena Kastor lined up for the 2014 Philadelphia Rock 'N' Roll Half-Marathon.
An Olympic bronze medalist and American record holder for the marathon, she'd recently set two American master's records on her way to victory at the Dallas Rock 'N' Roll Half Marathon.
For this race, her goal was even larger; she was eyeing a world-record. As she lined up, she had nervous butterflies, or what she calls "excitement," a feeling she describes as being completely prepared and ready to get to the task at hand.
Years earlier, feeling supremely prepared for the biggest race of her life, her body broke. Only three miles in at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, a stress fracture took her out of her race.
But that was then.
For most elite runners, 41 is well past retirement, particularly for a mother with a daughter who's now four. But Deena had had a string of successes in recent years and was showing no sign of slowing down.
The gun went off.

( Inspiration | Visualization | Motivation | Mindfulness | Tony Robbins | Zig Ziglar | Spirituality | Spiritual | Meditation | Success | Career | Business | Relationships | Family | Children | Balance )
Deena did her best to follow her game plan, yet only six miles in, struggled with painful side-stitches, which would return in the last few miles of the race. She says it was touch-and-go, that she thought about giving up, but dug deep and went for it.
It was a race for the record books and she did it! In just 13.1 miles, Deena Castor wiped out 4 world master's records, from the 5 km through the half marathon.
So how'd she do it, and what can we learn from her?
Deena has an amazing attitude, a positivity and sense of gratitude about her that spills over into everything she does. She attributes a large part of her success to her mindfulness, a practice she's used to cultivate her positive attitude and what she calls an "attitude of gratitude" over the years. She says it's not something she was born with but had to work at.
Recently I had the opportunity to sit down with Deena virtually and ask her about her practice. I wanted to understand how her lessons could benefit others. Her attitude was infectious; it was hard not to laugh and smile as she shared the ups and downs of her journey, and how she's stayed positive through it all.
Most importantly, she shared 10 key ways we can all use mindfulness to make our own lives better, whether in the big race, or the even bigger race of life.
Deena: "Goals aren't just pursued in the moment, but in the choices we make throughout the day."
To juggle the competing demands of being a public speaker, high-profile athlete and mother, Deena has to be incredibly mindful of how she chooses to spend her time. She works to "trim the fat" making sure there's nothing in her day that doesn't serve her. She wants her time to be filled with high quality activities, surrounded with the people she loves -- always on purpose.
Deena: "I am grateful to live the life that I love, and love the life that I'm living."
Deena says, "I like to immerse myself in the greatness of the opportunity" being incredibly grateful for everything she does and everywhere she goes. It's something she's cultivated over time, what she calls "being in the moment, and really enjoying the action of whatever I'm doing."

Just after college she did a gratitude exercise with her coach's wife which changed her. She was asked to keep a gratitude list, to pick ten things each day to be grateful for, but she could never have duplicates. At first it was easy, but then she really had to start searching for things to put on the list that were different than before. She says searching for joy and gratitude helped her train her mind to ignore or push out the negative.
Deena: "If it takes the same amount of energy to choose a positive route over a negative route, than why not chose the positive choice?"
Deena says she wasn't born innately happy, but that "joy is a practice" and "our choices build up to be our habits." So she consciously chooses not to give negativity any energy. No matter the situation, even after she broke her foot only three miles into the Beijing Marathon, you won't find Deena complaining or berating herself. Instead she'll step back, analyze the situation, and see where she can improve.
She's also very careful of her word choices in her head, and has worked hard to train her mind, looking for the opportunities in each moment -- even the darkest ones.
Deena: "Even in the moment of suffering and negativity, there's going to be a much stronger side of me."
She says we should "honor the fact that there'll be challenges, hurdles or obstacles along the way," seeing the obstacles as motivation for change and improvement. And she says when the "poop hits the fan" we get our greatest growth and learning.
In Beijing it was learning that there's a huge difference between being fit and being healthy.
She used her break as an opportunity to make big life changes and dietary changes to ensure she was healthy with strong bones so it would never happen again.
Deena: "My passion is for life, and I chose running to express that!"
Deena believes it's her passion that's fueled her success and can fuel ours. "I realized that I was a passionate person taking my passion out on running but I could put that passion into just about anything I chose to do."

This realization for her was an ah-ha moment and incredibly liberating. Realizing it's passion that fueled her, took off the pressure and allowed her to run almost better than ever before, because she was no longer attached to it. She could simply run for the pure joy of it, and the record-breaking was simply a result of it!
Deena: "I don't need to be faster tomorrow than I was today, but I need to be better than I was today."
In each day and each moment, she's looking to improve herself. She says we're all capable of making changes in attitude and life through the choices we make on a daily basis. To Deena, running's allowed her to chase a better side in herself, asking, "How can I be a better mom today, a better wife, a better contributor to my community?
1

Her mantra used to be "define myself." She'd ask, "how do I wish to define myself in this moment or how do I want to react to this situation, instead of involuntarily throwing myself into it?" She means we are constantly facing choices. Do this, don't do that? Go here, or don't go there? Train hard, or take off the day? Whatever the question is, no matter large or small, she believes it makes us who we are.
Deena: "Celebrate the moment, every moment!
Deena recommends immersing yourself in the moment, truly celebrating it and finding the pure joy in it. She likes to start sentences with a "sense of thrill or vibrancy" and to throw her hands up in the air in celebration. She says "it may seem silly, but hormones are released." "Now I find myself throwing my hands up going I love this. I love living here. I love my family!"

To get the most quality out of her days, she wants the most quality out of her sleep. She balances her hard work with what she calls "hard core rest." This is a secret of the pro's, if you want to work hard, you need to rest hard. Deena gets 10 hours of sleep each night, so she can "attack the day again."
Deena: "Naming and titling something differently makes an enormous shift in how you take on that task."
Deena gets as nervous before the big race as any of us. But she's reframed it in her mind. So she views nervousness as a sign of her preparation, that's she's done the homework and is raring to go. "I'm so invested and so prepared, interested and excited to get on that line and show what I've been working for. Saying 'excitement' has more empowerment and control. It makes you feel like you're invested and ready."
Before each race she writes down three reasons she should succeed at her goal, then commits them to memory. Then when the going gets tough she can recall why she should succeed in that moment. First she did this with races, now with other life events such as giving a large motivational speech.
Deena: "Running has taught me it takes one step at a time to become a better runner, and a better person in life."
Deena works to be present in each moment, and take her goals, large or small, one step at a time. Doing so gives her greater joy and appreciation for each moment of the journey.
By focusing on the present, Deena's life is rich, passionate, and full of joy. And she believes yours can be too!
Deena's mindfulness helps her to stay present and achieve amazing things. But that's almost beside the point. It means she's joyful, at peace, and living her greatest life.
Deena: "I truly believe my fastest days are behind me and my best days are ahead!"
Hi everyone, Michael Sandler here, your host on inspire nation. Today we have a very short, stress-reducing meditation. This is a powerful meditation I use whenever the anxiety’s up or things aren’t going quite as planned.
I call this meditation dropping in, as in dropping in to the zone.
This is a very short yet powerful meditation. We’ll do about a five minute version here, but if you need to, you can even benefit from a 1 or 2 minute version. Of course, you can ALWAYS go longer as well.
This is an extremely popular meditation of mine, and one I use frequently. If things are going “wrong” , not as planned, or things feel like they’re spinning out of control, I quickly drop everything, and jump into this meditation.
It’s a great way to quickly get centered and let the stress go. This meditation’s also a perfect match for our interview today with Deena Kastor, Olmpian and World Record Holder in the Marathon.

Hi Everyone, Michael Sandler here, your host on Inspire Nation. Today we have a very special, short meditation designed to help you bring about a perfect day. It’s called the Miracle Morning Meditation, appropriate, because today we’ve released an interview with Jeff Sanders, author of the 5 AM Miracle. You can find his interview on our Inspire Nation Show, and on our website at InspireNationShow.com.
This meditation is best done first thing in the morning, either just waking up, or after rolling out of bed, and grabbing a nice large glass of water to begin to wake up the mind.
You can do this seated, or laying down. Personally, I prefer it laying down, just make sure you won’t fall back asleep.
This is a meditation that gets better with practice. It’s part meditation, part visualization, and your visualization muscles take time to develop.
(This meditation and visualization is similar to those by Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and Tony Robbins, but with an Inspire Nation / Michael Sandler flavor to it)

We’ll talk about what possesses someone to leave their comfort zone for a greater cause, and how that journey can lead to self-discovery and guidance.
