In today's episode it's time to explore the incredible power that we hold in our lives by how we use our own bodies. We like to think that what we are feeling is objectively true but it is often a result of complex factors such as our physiology and breathing and movement patterns. In this episode I give you some compelling reasons to start taking on massive new responsibility for your body and how you use it.

We used to do these every single day.

These are short form podcasts, though.

I am going to start doing some more work with some really interesting guests and

we'll do some longer form ones, but.

Really the purpose here.

My friend is to give every single listener.

Just a little actionable thing to do each day to get us moving forward.

You know, time is short, tick, tick, tick.

I am 49.

I can't believe that I feel about 25.

Uh, though I do a lot of training as many of you know, and my body's

been trying to get my attention.

It's like, Jonathan.

Jonathan.

We need to talk.

So, uh, I've got to be high.

I've got to be careful about how much I do, but, uh, you

know, I'll be 50 soon, 50.

So I'm really aware that while I feel young, my kids are still young.

That, uh, time is short.

So, um, you know, I've wasted years.

Not being where I wanted to be.

Uh, not, um, you know, Like many of you have had battles with, you know,

Challenges like depression, anxiety, and different things over the years.

But, uh, really excited about what's still possible and how we can change.

And you're on this journey with me, because everything I share with you or

teach you is something I'm trying to still really exemplify and execute upon myself.

So please.

Uh, no, that you are on the journey with me.

And, um, look, there's a link here.

There should be a link.

If you want to book a 30 minute call with me.

Uh, I, uh, it's a 30 minute discovery call.

It's called the discovery call because we just discover where

you're stuck business life, health and fitness, particular areas.

So if you want to grab 30 minutes with me, go and check that out.

All right.

I want to talk to you today about responsibility for your state.

Responsibility for your state.

And by that, I do not mean your geographic location.

It's the government's problem, your state, your physical state, your geographical

state, but your personal state.

Is up to you now?

What do I mean?

I want to try and just really simplify it.

I was sharing this with a, with a guy the other day.

Our state is basically our level of physiological arousal or, you know,

does disarray because of the word.

Because that physiological state tends to create so much of our experience of life.

At its most simple level when you are in a.

Rested energized, positive physiological state.

You tend to interface with life very, very differently.

If you are in a negative physiological state, you tend to make your journey

in life tends to be a lot harder.

So some of you are listening, going well.

Yeah, obviously, but France, it is not obvious in the minute to

minute experience of each day.

Most people just do not get this.

They do not.

Understand the significance of this.

I can put my hand up and say, this was me for a very long time that you

let life happen to you instead of happening for you, by which I mean.

We get into a negative state and we assume that that's the appropriate thing based on

whatever story we are telling ourselves.

So usually there's a real, what I would say is a componetry.

Ration here.

I say cyclical relationship.

Sometimes we get into a, a, you know, we get some news or some

information we haven't experienced that is not to our preference.

Then we begin to tell ourselves a story about what it means.

Then we begin to collapse into a negative physiology.

Now.

That's really important that would collapse.

Because if you think about, and even practice this yourself, If you

kind of, if you're feeling really down, you got some bad news, right?

Yeah.

Is he breathing patterns change and, um, you have to find the chair, your hand

will often go to your chin or you'll find yourself with your head in your hands.

You ever done that?

It was like, Oh, man, what am I going to do?

And you tend to bend over to you're sitting down.

You'll know what this feels like.

You can in practice it.

If you're able to, where you're listening.

Yeah.

Your head, my go to your hands.

You breathing slows and kinds of gets quite shallow.

And then as you bend over that compresses, the whole diaphragm area.

So you begin to kind of breathe even worse.

So you can see that this negative field physiology is

collapsing physiology, right.

We kind of fall down into it.

And the contrasting example I've given, I've given us before.

Is, you know, Almost everybody listening can relate to this, that

if you have a favorite team, right?

Like a favorite.

Sporting team that you, and if you got a lot of filler sport anymore, think

back to when you did maybe years ago.

Imagine that the team that you really love has made the big final.

And you've been following for so long and you're so excited and you managed

to get tickets and you'd go there.

And, you know, there's 20 seconds to go.

And your favorite player on your favorite team?

Scores the winning points with about three seconds to go.

Right at that moment.

What is your body doing?

Like you don't tend to find yourself sitting there going.

I'm glad we won.

That was, um, it was a little stressful, but, uh, it looks not queen.

Um, It's not quite one.

Yeah, that's great.

That's really good.

It's not what happens.

That's not what happens at all.

Can you imagine that like you normally jumping your fists are in the air.

You're like breathing differently.

You're high-fiving complete strangers.

You're hugging people.

You've never met.

And there's this euphoria now is the question.

Where was that euphoria before that moment?

You know, no one gave you a pill, no one injected you with something like that.

Euphoria, that capacity for excitement and joy.

Was inside your physical body.

And you would say, yeah.

Yeah, it was okay.

I agree, Jonathan.

But what it took was an external stimuli.

Hey, I'll give you a bit of that.

That's kind of true.

Sometimes these external stimuli.

Really help us.

But what if you could actually take a bit of control of this and say, well, okay.

If my body movement, if my breathing and body movement actually

changes my physiological state.

How am I moving and using my body?

Regularly, you know, what am I doing?

You know, How do I tend to kind of move through the world?

And I want to say to you now that if you start to change any of this, let

me, let me be very clear with you.

It's incredibly hard.

I think all of us get trapped in certain roles.

So as I began to learn this stuff, I began to, to move more and to just

stretch more and move my body differently and speak a little differently.

And my kids have this joke because once I began to learn this stuff,

I used to, you know, I'd be in the car and for no reason, just

go, whew, just yell it out.

The kids would be like, okay, what is that?

We down the coast last weekend, spear fishing, and I'm driving

along and my kids and I'm like, woo.

Is like.

Yelling and Loughlin and they go and down, will you do it?

And I said, I'm just happy.

I'm just happy.

But I knew what I was doing.

I was actually taking responsibility for my state.

And some of you are listening, go, man, this is crazy.

Talk like you really think we're going to do this?

No, probably most of you won't.

And some of you will stop listening and some of you will unsubscribe.

But I'm talking to the, to the percenters of here.

They're the few percent people who are listening, going there.

Interesting.

He's got a point here.

I wonder what it'd be like.

Maybe I hadn't been a bit slumped.

Maybe I hadn't been.

A bit like this.

And so.

Responsibility for state.

Is really important.

So I just, uh, this morning Karen had to drive into state.

So I said, Hey, I fill up the car for you.

Cause I'm just a great husband.

Karen, if you're listening.

A very lucky woman.

And so I've got to fill up the car for her and it takes a while.

Cause we got a big.

Big full drive.

And, uh, it's taken ages and I'm just there.

And I remembered what I was going to talk to you about today.

And I'm like, stand in toll that I'm stretching while filling up pitch.

It wasn't easy, but I got it done.

And I'm breathing and I'm talking to myself and show a couple people like this.

Guy's insane.

But I feel better.

And when I feel better, I'm a better me.

And I'm better with my kids.

And I'm better doing this podcast.

So the idea that I want to put in your head today has

responsibility for your state.

How are you moving?

How are you breathing?

I'm not saying that you have to start some massive new exercise

program and just saying start.

Paying attention to your language, to your breathing, to your shoulders, to your

stretching, to your, how you move through the office, how you move through the home.

You know, you can do this.

You can, you know, if you got a chance at home, put some crazy

music on and just go nuts, you want.

I can tell you a secret.

All right, you're ready.

Now we meet.

Uh, it's just, you can tell me that you can let me know that I

told you, but you know what I do.

I got back to the old G days ago, back old school.

There's a band called house of pain.

Got a song called jumper around.

You put that bad boy on loud friends in your house with no one around.

I dare you to sit still.

I day you to see it's still.

All right.

How's the pain jump around.

Now, maybe it's not that song.

Maybe there's another song that you go.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I.

Got a song like that.

So, um, once I get back on Facebook and Twitter, you can tell

me what they are, but you know, there is music just moves us.

So that's my hot tip.

How's the pain jump around.

I might do this after.

Finishing the studio here.

So friends, I want you to have a great life.

I want you to have better relationships.

I want you to have more hope and more energy.

And one of the first steps is what we're talking about today is

get ahold of this state to get a hold of what your body's doing.

Get a hold of how you live in breathing, moving, thinking,

moving through the world.

All right, make sure you're subscribed.

Go check out that link to book some time with me.

And, uh, That'd be awesome.

All right.

Do you like that?

I feel pumped doing it.

You can even sitting in the studio, like I'm moving.

Right now are literally on this microphone.

I got my hands in the air.

I'm stretching.

I'm breathing a big smile on my face.

I want you to win.

I want you to win.

I want you to have a good day.

All right, everybody.

God bless.

This has been Jonathan doll.

This has been the daily, daily, daily, daily podcast.
