Thinking Outside Of The Box

Dr Mark William Cochran is a chiropractic doctor and a holistic health expert.  He joins me for a discussion on nutrition and some of the facts regarding the benefits of eating healthy versus the costs, the actual costs of  habitually eating a less than healthy diet. Most people don't realize that by saving money at the grocery store and at  fast food restaurants They are actually  incurring costs down the road in regards to increased medical expenses. Here's an excerpt from the homepage on his website: Here's my story in a nutshell: I have felt the grief and the crushing loss of self worth that come with losing a rewarding career because of my own poor health. For years, I fought crippling arthritis pain, along with the anger, fear and hopelessness that anyone who suffers from chronic disease knows all too well. When finally I decided to stop fighting and start thriving, I was able to transform my health and become a triathlete and marathon runner. After I spent years fighting my disease

We are reviewing  and commenting on a National Geographic special which is called “Beyond the Movie, The Lord of the Rings. You may be steeped in the lore of this epic novel by JRR Tolkien or not. It matters not because today we bring to light some analogies and similarities through the ages, along with some lessons to be learned from history. It was brought to the screen by Peter Jackson in a 6+ hour trilogy. Today I am going to be reviewing and exploring some real world parallels that this 57 minute National Geographic documentary. I should start with Peter Jackson who produced the movie trilogy. You’re probably wondering what this has to do with “Thinking Outside of the Box”, well, in our world at T double Oh! TB we know that if you hold the vision like Peter Jackson did, and hold the intent it will manifest. This is a stellar example of the adage “Thought becomes Form”! This week we have a lot of people to thank on our show credits today. As I said in the intro I a

The Art and Science of Being Happy A series of practical articles by Leslie Villelli Being happy is not mysterious. It’s a skill, a habit. Experiencing happiness and a sense of well-being is beneficial to us in many, many ways. Scientists predict that they’ve just scratched the surface of our ability to measure those amazing benefits. What we do know, now, is that the chemicals we manufacture internally when we are happy that we have, are, or can do something, are health giving, energy giving substances. And, we know we feel good. Great. Got it. But how on earth do I conjure up feeling happy about something that I’m in the automatic habit of experiencing differently? Once again, it turns out to be easier than we think! The minute we decide to use one of the most powerful tools we humans have at our absolute disposal: language. Here’s an example:   “I have to write my Happy On Purpose article tonight.” As I think it, other though

  Kirk Miller is a man with a mission. For more than three years he’s been on a daily quest to find a picture that is inspiring and sharing his words of wisdom.  He has rules, or parameters, which he always follows. The pictures are always taken from a public place where any of us could get to, the pictures are rarely if ever modified in Photoshop, (although he does tweak the settings in his camera.) They feature the natural beauty of the lake and surrounding shores, and rarely show any signs of us humans.  I guess the boats, docks, and an occasion bridge is the exception there. Kirk has a large base of followers in the Facebook realm and it’s become an important part of his life to bring new look at life and unique perspective of our beautiful lake each day to those followers.  Sunrises are his Speciality and his Dedication is Extreme Kirk’s been doing this daily ritual without fail for more than three years. Here’s a link to an article written about Kirk after o

This episode, Priming the Happiness Pump discusses  tips, tools and facts about the process of moving into happiness. We humans have habitually thought of happiness as the result, not the cause. In other words, we think happiness will result once we...accomplish our goals, accumulate wealth, find love, be smarter, get healthier, etc. What if, in reality, it's exactly the opposite? What if it's the other way around? What if being happy before we begin those quests is the catalyst for our success?!? What if getting good at being happy has us be good at everything else we do? Leading edge scientific research has proven that this is true.
