00:03:44.950 --> 00:03:51.309 NeoPositivity.com: Thank you. Thank you, Linda. It is an honor to be here, and it's great to see and talk to you again. It's been a little bit.
00:03:52.710 --> 00:03:58.350 Linda Marsanico: It was 8 years ago that you hosted me for my 1st podcast.
00:03:59.100 --> 00:03:59.960 NeoPositivity.com: Nice.
00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:12.020 Linda Marsanico: I had seen you on Facebook. And I reached out to you. And I said, Can I do a podcast with you? And so we had the podcast, and yesterday I listened to
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.740 Linda Marsanico: it. And it's entitled Spirituality and science.
00:04:17.060 --> 00:04:21.959 Linda Marsanico: And we we had fun. We laughed, we shared a lot of information.
00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:25.960 Linda Marsanico: So on this show I have a question for you.
00:04:26.510 --> 00:04:34.280 Linda Marsanico: Would you share something about your past, and how it brings you on your journey to where you are now?
00:04:36.510 --> 00:04:47.590 NeoPositivity.com: You know, I'd have to just say change expecting change, accepting change.
00:04:48.347 --> 00:04:53.485 NeoPositivity.com: Allows change. And that's how you get unstuck and
00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:00.790 NeoPositivity.com: without meeting people like you and the Internet and Youtube. And just being curious.
00:05:01.390 --> 00:05:10.709 NeoPositivity.com: you know, I wouldn't have experienced any of that. Most of my relatives, everyone I went to high school with is still in the same town, doing the same thing in the same areas
00:05:10.860 --> 00:05:17.459 NeoPositivity.com: on rinse and repeat. And it just wasn't me. So yeah, change is is huge for me.
00:05:18.260 --> 00:05:21.980 Linda Marsanico: And with change. It takes a lot of courage to face the unknown.
00:05:22.900 --> 00:05:26.150 NeoPositivity.com: Yeah, as people. We like to stay in our comfort zone.
00:05:26.150 --> 00:05:26.800 Linda Marsanico: Oh yes!
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:33.479 NeoPositivity.com: As soon as something begins to seem like it's gonna change. We start grasping for ways to
00:05:34.027 --> 00:05:37.289 NeoPositivity.com: feel better about our control over the situation.
00:05:37.550 --> 00:05:46.619 NeoPositivity.com: and it's a degree of letting go that's absolutely necessary for you to excel to the levels that you want to be at as opposed to just remaining stagnant.
00:05:47.830 --> 00:05:53.880 Linda Marsanico: Well, I think you've taken a lot of letting go and leaps. I didn't know that you were a pilot.
00:05:54.710 --> 00:06:00.270 NeoPositivity.com: Yeah, that came probably after we did our show. I've always wanted to be a pilot
00:06:00.671 --> 00:06:05.490 NeoPositivity.com: my whole life, but you know they always said you had to have 2020 vision.
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:13.710 NeoPositivity.com: and I needed glasses to see far away growing up. So it was just totally taken out of my realm of possibility
00:06:13.830 --> 00:06:15.517 NeoPositivity.com: as a child.
00:06:16.180 --> 00:06:22.240 NeoPositivity.com: because they won't let you in with glasses or they wouldn't back then. But then, you know, laser eye surgery came out, and
00:06:22.350 --> 00:06:30.600 NeoPositivity.com: I got that, you know, to run the streets of Camden and be a cop, and after I retired from the police department with this whole new law of attraction thing, I said.
00:06:30.950 --> 00:06:35.439 NeoPositivity.com: The sky never, don't ever tell me. The sky's the limit with his footprints on the moon.
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:36.289 NeoPositivity.com: And
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:46.729 NeoPositivity.com: yeah. So I just manifested my pilot's license. And so now I fly. Airplanes, helicopters, paramotors, anything that can go in the air. Technically I can fly.
00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:48.890 Linda Marsanico: That's pretty exciting, Neil.
00:06:48.890 --> 00:07:01.750 NeoPositivity.com: I love it. Anything in the air, even remote control airplanes I've got, I think, 24 airplanes and probably 30 drones couple helicopters. I'm just obsessed with flight and a flight simulator, for when it's raining outside.
00:07:02.377 --> 00:07:03.359 Linda Marsanico: It. It might.
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:20.389 NeoPositivity.com: You gotta find what you love, and then find a way to do it every day. There's a free way to do it every day, so there's no excuse or slightly cheaper. It's not like, you know, flying an airplane may cost $200 an hour, but I can get on a flight simulator and feel amazing for $69. Once for the simulator.
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:21.960 NeoPositivity.com: I can fly whenever I want.
00:07:22.510 --> 00:07:24.790 Linda Marsanico: Do you have a simulator in your home?
00:07:25.310 --> 00:07:30.100 NeoPositivity.com: Yes, that's why I have 4 screens in front of me, cause it feels like I'm in a cockpit. I have the
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:46.849 NeoPositivity.com: all the controls and switches. Now that costs a lot more than $69. But the program, the basic program, $69, which allows me to do what I love the most every single day, regardless of the weather outside, regardless of the Internet. As long as I got power and a screen
00:07:47.210 --> 00:07:49.610 NeoPositivity.com: I can get in the air up here.
00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:53.110 Linda Marsanico: Would you tell us
00:07:53.880 --> 00:08:03.310 Linda Marsanico: something about the transition you mentioned? You were a police officer. You made the transition because you learned about the law of attraction. But
00:08:04.450 --> 00:08:07.549 Linda Marsanico: tell us a little bit about the nuts and bolts of the transition.
00:08:08.580 --> 00:08:17.499 NeoPositivity.com: Well, my old partner was a retired CIA agent, and he tells me about this movie that they make all of their Academy recruits watch every year.
00:08:17.890 --> 00:08:18.690 NeoPositivity.com: Now
00:08:18.950 --> 00:08:28.120 NeoPositivity.com: I'm going to add this in there, fast forward. I found out later on that they make the they make their rookies, or everybody in training camp watch the same movie
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:52.760 NeoPositivity.com: for every team in the Nfl Nba Nhl. And then in the Baseball League, too. They're all watching this movie every year in training camp mandatory. And so, anyway, go back. My old partner told me about this movie. And you know we're cops. I'm on a Swat team. I'm expecting it to be like rapid deployment shooter type. No, it's a movie called The Secret, which.
00:08:53.435 --> 00:08:54.109 Linda Marsanico: Oh!
00:08:54.110 --> 00:09:17.069 NeoPositivity.com: I know that you're very familiar with, and it might shock a lot of people to find out that they're playing this in every Nfl locker room every season for everybody on the team. So anyway, you know the movie, you see, it's on my shirt. Thoughts become things. That's when I learned this phrase, and it just filled in all the puzzle pieces for me that were missing about my childhood, and the way I would act
00:09:17.658 --> 00:09:26.309 NeoPositivity.com: quick example, before football games. I went to. I went to a bad high school, so we never had night games because there would be shootings and stuff.
00:09:26.420 --> 00:09:34.459 NeoPositivity.com: so we always had Saturday morning games, and I would go out to the field hours before the game, and I would just stand there, and I would stare.
00:09:34.610 --> 00:09:38.870 NeoPositivity.com: and I'll spare you all the details. But I was basically visualizing, and I didn't know
00:09:40.190 --> 00:09:48.639 NeoPositivity.com: So anyway, watching the secret filled in all these puzzle pieces about my past, and it gave me a great outlook for the future. It wasn't just
00:09:49.140 --> 00:10:14.289 NeoPositivity.com: random. These things could happen to me if I'm lucky enough. I don't believe in luck anymore. After watching that movie. And it really gave me a grasp on my future, I had just learned a formula from there. I went straight to Youtube. I went to interviewing people like you. Anyone who knew about this law of attraction thing, this energy and manifesting. I needed to interview them on Facebook wherever I could, so that I can pick your brain
00:10:14.370 --> 00:10:37.520 NeoPositivity.com: and pull out all your little tips and tricks to use for myself. And then, later on, once they started to work, and I knew they would work. Whether you're tall, short, old, young, no matter who you were. If they worked for everybody. I would do a video about it on Facebook. So that was the transition, little things started happening. Little phone calls. I started manifesting things. And I said, you know what
00:10:37.930 --> 00:10:43.179 NeoPositivity.com: if I can manifest something small, I can manifest retirement, and that's what I did.
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:49.209 NeoPositivity.com: Wrote me a little check with. You know what I would get every month, put it under my pillow. I put one in my wallet.
00:10:49.390 --> 00:10:55.279 NeoPositivity.com: All this other stuff, and I started doing all these mental exercises, started creating my own mental exercises, which is where it
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.489 NeoPositivity.com: really started to work. Because
00:10:57.780 --> 00:11:05.820 NeoPositivity.com: for Oprah Winfrey to say, I'm rich. I'm rich. I'm rich. She's going to get a different feeling in response mentally, than if someone who's never had
00:11:06.260 --> 00:11:34.669 NeoPositivity.com: that much money like me in the past. To say that when I said that back in the day my ego would step in and say, No, you're not. No, you're not. No, you won't. No, you can't. How dare you dream that big. So I had to come up with my own exercises that would allow me to sit in that space, to vibrate at that frequency and magnetize that future to myself. And as the months went on the exercises got stronger. They were working more. I was field testing them on family members and see who could do what.
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:47.319 NeoPositivity.com: And I ended up with a great formula for success. And like, I said, 8 months later, I ended up in a situation where I was basically given an option, you know, to retire or not, and
00:11:47.490 --> 00:11:49.345 NeoPositivity.com: I definitely took it.
00:11:49.810 --> 00:11:51.790 Linda Marsanico: What a lovely story!
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.300 Linda Marsanico: And very interesting about the secret.
00:11:55.790 --> 00:11:57.819 Linda Marsanico: you know, when you were talking about
00:11:57.980 --> 00:12:18.089 Linda Marsanico: wanting to manifest, and something coming in and saying, No, you can't do that in our broadcast of spirituality and science, which can be downloaded, not downloaded, but listened to on my website@lindamarsenico.com on the media page. But in that broadcast you mentioned Sparky.
00:12:19.050 --> 00:12:20.770 Linda Marsanico: Is he still around.
00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:30.740 NeoPositivity.com: Different names when you come up with a mental exercise that you're doing. There may be one thing about it that just doesn't sit right.
00:12:30.900 --> 00:12:35.080 NeoPositivity.com: and you tweak it differently. You tweak it, you different. You give it different names.
00:12:36.380 --> 00:12:39.410 NeoPositivity.com: So for me, Sparky was a
00:12:40.370 --> 00:12:43.019 NeoPositivity.com: something that would spark something in my mind.
00:12:43.610 --> 00:12:55.389 NeoPositivity.com: But it's transition 50 different ways over and split 90 different ways. Because I'm a professional trier. I just try different exercises to to get different things to get different
00:12:55.710 --> 00:12:58.460 NeoPositivity.com: results and feelings out of myself.
00:12:58.460 --> 00:12:58.870 Linda Marsanico: Exactly.
00:12:58.870 --> 00:13:02.170 NeoPositivity.com: Yeah, I I you may have to actually re
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.259 NeoPositivity.com: tell me what exactly Sparky was back then.
00:13:05.260 --> 00:13:06.899 Linda Marsanico: He was your ego.
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.879 NeoPositivity.com: Oh, that! That voice! I mean, that has.
00:13:09.880 --> 00:13:11.100 Linda Marsanico: This is 8 years ago.
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:12.060 Linda Marsanico: Go ahead.
00:13:12.260 --> 00:13:19.120 NeoPositivity.com: That has transitioned 90 different 1,000 times, because I every name I give it. I'm trying to take a little bit of power away from it.
00:13:19.670 --> 00:13:26.640 NeoPositivity.com: So it means less to me when it says you can't. How dare you dream that big? And it's been everything from a dog
00:13:27.430 --> 00:13:46.350 NeoPositivity.com: trying to get your attention, and you're just kind of shooing it away. It's jumping on your leg to a room full of reporters raising their hands. Hey! Entertain this idea. Entertain this idea, and you're just I don't want to. You know, I got that from untethered soul. It's a really amazing book, you probably know about it.
00:13:46.873 --> 00:13:51.720 NeoPositivity.com: But yes, referring to that ego in in as many different ways as you can.
00:13:53.280 --> 00:14:00.040 NeoPositivity.com: degrading, taking down its power. So it cannot for one like, I said from untethered soul.
00:14:00.410 --> 00:14:02.829 NeoPositivity.com: recognizing that it's not your voice.
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:04.679 NeoPositivity.com: It's a suggestion.
00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:16.159 NeoPositivity.com: That takes away so much power right there. But you got to be in the moment to do that which requires a bunch of different other mental exercises. So yeah, it's definitely, it's definitely
00:14:16.260 --> 00:14:18.219 NeoPositivity.com: a large part of what we do.
00:14:18.670 --> 00:14:22.650 Linda Marsanico: I'd like you to hold that thought. We need to take a commercial break.
00:14:23.030 --> 00:14:28.669 Linda Marsanico: and I'm wanting to come back to hear what you call your ego today.
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.230 Linda Marsanico: So there we are, off to a break. Now.
00:16:19.380 --> 00:16:20.690 Linda Marsanico: Hello, everyone!
00:16:21.250 --> 00:16:22.579 Linda Marsanico: Welcome back
00:16:23.050 --> 00:16:30.120 Linda Marsanico: to the A. Train to Sedona. Somehow I've lost the big screen, but I hope you can still hear and see us
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.420 Linda Marsanico: before we took our break. I asked Neo
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:45.839 Linda Marsanico: if he would tell us the name that he's given to his ego. It would be a more gentle, or, in a sense, a less powerful name. Neo. Would you
00:16:46.920 --> 00:16:48.380 Linda Marsanico: share that with us?
00:16:48.690 --> 00:17:02.159 NeoPositivity.com: You know, it's going to be custom for everyone, and I encourage everyone to continually rework and optimize the way you think but for me. It was no.
00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:08.859 NeoPositivity.com: there was nothing I could do more to strip the power away than to take its name, and
00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:13.799 NeoPositivity.com: I go back to my childhood or playing video games or whatever when something is annoying me.
00:17:14.089 --> 00:17:20.209 NeoPositivity.com: you know. Like, if I'm losing in a game, and and the person I'm losing to is is just, you know, yapping in my ear.
00:17:20.430 --> 00:17:21.730 NeoPositivity.com: I say, Bruh.
00:17:22.099 --> 00:17:31.889 NeoPositivity.com: that's my thing, Bro. Chill, and that's the voice. When the voice is saying all those things that it says you can't. How dare you? You won't. I'm just like Bro.
00:17:32.010 --> 00:17:52.430 NeoPositivity.com: Chill like we got this. Look at all the stuff we've done that that leads me to the next sentence. Look at all the stuff we've done in the past. All that we've accomplished, all the hurdles we've gone over. This is nothing. This is just you being paranoid, and then you kind of talk it off the ledge at that point, and it could be a long talk, or you can condition yourself to where it's quick. Bro, I got this.
00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:59.610 NeoPositivity.com: and then you just move on to your confidence. So yeah, for me, there's nothing better than stripping it of the name completely.
00:18:00.750 --> 00:18:04.299 Linda Marsanico: It makes a lot of sense to me it becomes nameless.
00:18:05.250 --> 00:18:06.005 NeoPositivity.com: Boom.
00:18:07.540 --> 00:18:16.220 NeoPositivity.com: I love it. I had actually had a ferret once. I've had a bunch of ferrets in my life, but I was thinking of the the best, or I say the hardest
00:18:16.370 --> 00:18:18.380 NeoPositivity.com: name that I could give it.
00:18:18.570 --> 00:18:42.360 NeoPositivity.com: and I don't mean hard, like difficult, but like hard like, you know, in my culture we can say hard, and and I ended up not giving him a name like there's no name that goes stronger than no name, and a total different principle besides from this ego thing. But it makes me it makes me think back to that. And yeah, so that's it. It's just like Bro. Chill. I got this.
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:44.859 NeoPositivity.com: and and and with that
00:18:44.980 --> 00:19:01.630 NeoPositivity.com: demeanor, everything you saw on my face when I just said that it just diminishes all of the power that would have been coming with all of the proof, because when the ego comes, you know, it comes with proof from your past and things you've experienced to prove to you that this is going to be difficult and darn near impossible.
00:19:01.860 --> 00:19:04.240 NeoPositivity.com: And getting through that is, is.
00:19:04.830 --> 00:19:08.890 NeoPositivity.com: you know, that's the key to manifesting to live in the life that you want to live.
00:19:09.980 --> 00:19:11.389 Linda Marsanico: When you were talking about
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:19.109 Linda Marsanico: your simulator and piloting and the toys that you have, a young, happy child came out.
00:19:19.670 --> 00:19:26.109 Linda Marsanico: and it seems to me that you are very much in touch with that happy child. Would you share something about that?
00:19:26.930 --> 00:19:32.590 NeoPositivity.com: You know, a long time ago, when I 1st learned about and got into the Law of attraction, they were like
00:19:32.740 --> 00:19:38.859 NeoPositivity.com: toys and money. You don't need that. You don't need that. And Da, Da, but I know me, and I want that.
00:19:39.040 --> 00:19:54.220 NeoPositivity.com: I want to smile while I'm here, and the things that I enjoy. My kids enjoy, too, and if we can play a game together and laugh to the point where time flies by, you know that type of laughter, that type of fun.
00:19:54.765 --> 00:20:04.869 NeoPositivity.com: Then let's do that. Let's enjoy that. Let's manifest the the board game, the video game to get us to do that. Me and my son. We love going to the park.
00:20:05.810 --> 00:20:14.489 NeoPositivity.com: It's manifest a park right up the street, and so you know it, just acknowledging that these are things in life to enjoy, and then going to get them
00:20:14.730 --> 00:20:19.479 NeoPositivity.com: to spend as many moments in joy as you can throughout the day.
00:20:19.620 --> 00:20:20.310 Linda Marsanico: Yes.
00:20:20.520 --> 00:20:24.730 NeoPositivity.com: That's me. Let's do it every I didn't. I? Always.
00:20:25.110 --> 00:20:33.189 NeoPositivity.com: I retired in 2,008, and I always say I haven't taken a day off ever since, until around this year, beginning of this year.
00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:40.009 NeoPositivity.com: And it was because I'm working on this mental exercises all day, every day, because I love working on it, and it's fun.
00:20:40.260 --> 00:20:49.030 NeoPositivity.com: But at the end of the day I'm retired. I need to enjoy this. So yes, I'll get the toys that I like, and I'll play with them.
00:20:51.010 --> 00:20:56.560 Linda Marsanico: Are you still in visualization, manifesting for 2 HA day.
00:20:57.190 --> 00:21:10.900 NeoPositivity.com: At least from midnight till at least 2 o'clock in the morning. The family sleep. Everything's quiet. I don't have to worry about my kids driving around or at work, and that is when I can really get peaceful. And I got to be honest, it never ends before 3
00:21:11.530 --> 00:21:12.590 NeoPositivity.com: never.
00:21:12.590 --> 00:21:15.019 Linda Marsanico: So it's more than 2 h now. It's 3.
00:21:15.020 --> 00:21:22.230 NeoPositivity.com: Well, that's just the nighttime, you know. Remember, throughout the day, all day, throughout the day, I'm doing these little mental exercises.
00:21:22.550 --> 00:21:29.150 NeoPositivity.com: It's funny you bring this up. So many people look at me, and they're like, Neo, I want to think like you want to be like you, so I can manifest.
00:21:29.280 --> 00:21:31.139 NeoPositivity.com: But are you putting in the work.
00:21:32.600 --> 00:21:41.020 NeoPositivity.com: Everywhere in my house. There are triggers somewhere to wake me up to do some kind of mental exercises. I don't know if you've seen this.
00:21:41.020 --> 00:21:41.700 Linda Marsanico: What do you say?
00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:43.000 NeoPositivity.com: It's a poker chip.
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:43.590 Linda Marsanico: Oh, yeah.
00:21:43.590 --> 00:21:50.899 NeoPositivity.com: Inside. It just has my face. It says, neopositivity.com. It says thank you. And on the back it says, thoughts become things. Stay focused.
00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:53.510 NeoPositivity.com: This is a token to me.
00:21:54.432 --> 00:22:01.720 NeoPositivity.com: From the secret, they said, pick up a go outside and pick up a pebble. This is this is actually a piece of a volcano that I got in Costa Rica, and it was just a
00:22:03.030 --> 00:22:15.049 NeoPositivity.com: but in the movie I picked up a pebble I put in my pocket like they said, this is when I 1st saw the secret, and every time I reached in my pocket I felt it. I said, What's that? I said, oh, that's the pebble, and that was my wake up reminder to do my mental exercises.
00:22:15.230 --> 00:22:16.960 NeoPositivity.com: Well, I lost a couple pebbles.
00:22:17.150 --> 00:22:24.520 NeoPositivity.com: and I said, You know what I was living in New Jersey. I said, if I get a poker chip from Atlantic City worth 50 bucks, I'm not going to lose that.
00:22:25.300 --> 00:22:35.540 NeoPositivity.com: So that's what I did. I got a poker chip. I still have it in this drawer right here to this day, and because it was worth something, I knew I wouldn't lose it. And so I ended up making my own poker chip.
00:22:36.110 --> 00:22:42.680 NeoPositivity.com: You know that I can give to people that they can use as a token, and it says, Thank you on it, not
00:22:42.830 --> 00:22:51.770 NeoPositivity.com: thanking people for purchasing this from me because you can get it from my website. But thank you, is the is one of the ultimate affirmations.
00:22:52.110 --> 00:23:00.759 NeoPositivity.com: and a lot of times I'll feel the poker chip in my pocket, and I'm like, what am I working on? Well, I want to manifest this, and I want to get that. And then my phone rings, and I never get to do it.
00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:28.590 NeoPositivity.com: And so if you can't think of a mental exercise to do. Just say Thank you 10 times or yes, 10 times, and that's why I put that on there. But it's these reminders that I have all around my house. I have a dollar bill taped up on the wall in my bathroom. I have all these beads that, I pray. I guess they're prayer beads, but I just use them as accountability to do all 10 of my mental exercises. But all day, every day you. You can't stop. You gotta
00:23:28.820 --> 00:23:34.059 NeoPositivity.com: program your brain's muscle to work the way you want it to work. And as soon as you stop
00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:47.629 NeoPositivity.com: 5 min later a commercial or a Facebook post is reprogramming it back to where it was. So it's a constant thing, constant constant repetition every day, and I've accepted. It's going to be like this for the rest of my life. If I want to continue to live
00:23:47.780 --> 00:23:50.320 NeoPositivity.com: like this, which I do.
00:23:50.780 --> 00:23:55.599 Linda Marsanico: Yes, yes, I mean the ego is ever present. Fear is ever present.
00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:02.900 Linda Marsanico: self-doubt, and so, being where you are, is a very important discipline, and I know you are very disciplined.
00:24:03.710 --> 00:24:13.440 NeoPositivity.com: You know the thing about the ego. You got to learn to love it as much as you dislike it as a police officer. A lot of people don't probably don't realize this, but at 2 in the morning.
00:24:13.550 --> 00:24:18.359 NeoPositivity.com: when you're chasing a bad guy down an alleyway or down the street.
00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:24.949 NeoPositivity.com: he's going to turn a corner before you at some point. You're going to lose sight of him for at least a second at some point.
00:24:25.250 --> 00:24:34.529 NeoPositivity.com: And so picture you're chasing this guy. He makes a left at a brick corner brick building. You can't see him. For a second he could stop and point his gun and wait for you to turn that corner.
00:24:35.226 --> 00:24:39.509 NeoPositivity.com: And it's those type of situations where you need to be paranoid.
00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:52.640 NeoPositivity.com: You need to assess everything, and it's your it's my ego that kept me alive, questioning, doubting. Should I do this? Should I do that from every angle, so as much as your ego is
00:24:52.780 --> 00:24:58.970 NeoPositivity.com: breaking your back, saying, How dare you dream that big? It's also keeping you alive when you're about to make a left at that yellow light.
00:24:59.140 --> 00:25:06.929 NeoPositivity.com: or you're about to make this decision. So it's there for you in all different ways. It just might not seem like it sometimes.
00:25:07.150 --> 00:25:09.510 Linda Marsanico: Yes, it's a a handy, a
00:25:09.940 --> 00:25:13.450 Linda Marsanico: kind of guide in the 3rd dimension, right.
00:25:13.860 --> 00:25:27.519 NeoPositivity.com: And there's 2 sides to every coin. You know. There's 2 sides to every coin. When you say I'm rich, and the ego says, how dare you dream that big? Have you ever done that? How many people do, you know, have ever done that? There's a reason it's doing that.
00:25:28.130 --> 00:25:32.799 NeoPositivity.com: Dissect that figure out what that is, and then you can excel to the next level
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:40.690 NeoPositivity.com: as opposed to just hating it, because hating the ego, which is a part of you is hating you, which manifests more hating you, and you don't want to do that.
00:25:40.930 --> 00:25:44.769 Linda Marsanico: So when you dissect that, could you share a little bit about that.
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:50.790 NeoPositivity.com: Well, the ego works with your subconscious to bring you back to this moment.
00:25:51.060 --> 00:26:00.909 NeoPositivity.com: So when you're dreaming about a future Disneyland, a future being rich, or think about something that happened last week 10 years ago. You're not present.
00:26:01.250 --> 00:26:16.319 NeoPositivity.com: and the ego and the subconscious want you present in every moment. So it's going to use everything that you know from your past or scenarios from the future. It's going to throw it at you and say, that's not happening that can't happen. How dare you? It just wants to bring you back to this moment.
00:26:16.990 --> 00:26:26.110 NeoPositivity.com: So it's just doing its job in that sense. And why does it want to bring you back to this moment? Eckhart told you the power of now this moment is everything.
00:26:26.110 --> 00:26:26.490 Linda Marsanico: You never!
00:26:26.490 --> 00:26:54.370 NeoPositivity.com: Seen, touch, or tasted anything from your future, and your past is just reminiscence of previous this moments. But everything you've ever done, and everything you ever will do you will do in this seemingly reoccurring current moment, that's all we have, and that's why the subconscious and the ego are always working together, the subconscious being your database of everything you know about everything you've ever known, and the ego being the thing that accesses that database to throw at you scenarios to wake you up to this moment. They're just doing their job.
00:26:54.630 --> 00:26:59.902 NeoPositivity.com: and once you accept and learn that, you know, you hate it a little less, just a little bit.
00:27:00.770 --> 00:27:04.999 Linda Marsanico: I think of the moment as being a very powerful space to be in.
00:27:05.110 --> 00:27:16.499 Linda Marsanico: It is said that all things are possible in the present moment. So meditation, affirmations, mantras, disciplined
00:27:17.320 --> 00:27:21.370 Linda Marsanico: work that you do. It's in the moment, and it's very precious.
00:27:22.120 --> 00:27:25.919 NeoPositivity.com: Like, I said. Have you ever seen, touched, or tasted a future?
00:27:27.760 --> 00:27:38.669 NeoPositivity.com: No one has same thing with the past. It's just us reliving this same current moment over and over and over again. So that's literally all we have, and to spend time elsewhere.
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:52.540 NeoPositivity.com: I guess someone that's blasphemous. And that's why the ego is pulling us back to this moment. If you ask Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Lebron James, one of the greatest, they always talk about staying present.
00:27:52.890 --> 00:27:56.810 NeoPositivity.com: They always talk about being present. Dolly Parton suggests
00:27:57.080 --> 00:28:06.219 NeoPositivity.com: to all her speakers all her singers that the day that they're going to sing take as many deep breaths as they can that day. What does a deep breath do?
00:28:06.360 --> 00:28:08.250 NeoPositivity.com: Brings you back to the moment?
00:28:09.030 --> 00:28:10.230 NeoPositivity.com: Follow the Greats.
00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:16.510 Linda Marsanico: Very good advice. We're soon coming to another break, and
00:28:17.360 --> 00:28:19.400 Linda Marsanico: I do want to ask you
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:32.620 Linda Marsanico: what is the role of spirituality in your life. And to me, when we're loving and kind, when we're loving and compassionate, I should say we're spiritual. But I'd like you to give that some thought.
00:28:32.820 --> 00:28:37.820 Linda Marsanico: and we'll come back after the break and talk a little bit about that.
00:28:39.770 --> 00:28:41.670 Linda Marsanico: Okay, we'll have the break.
00:30:20.360 --> 00:30:21.900 Linda Marsanico: Hello, everyone!
00:30:22.260 --> 00:30:29.530 Linda Marsanico: Welcome back to the A. Train to Sedona with Neo Davila, also known as Neopositivity.
00:30:29.650 --> 00:30:39.700 Linda Marsanico: Before the break. I have asked Neo to think about the role of spirituality in his life, and how he shows love and compassion
00:30:40.040 --> 00:30:42.530 Linda Marsanico: to to himself and others.
00:30:42.770 --> 00:30:43.710 Linda Marsanico: Neil.
00:30:44.520 --> 00:30:53.360 NeoPositivity.com: I 1st of all, I'm a different beast than I was 8 years ago. Just constant growth, acceleration, and my frequency
00:30:53.760 --> 00:30:56.069 NeoPositivity.com: just rising every day.
00:30:56.800 --> 00:31:02.819 NeoPositivity.com: I am a spiritual being, experiencing the physical realm.
00:31:03.787 --> 00:31:08.709 Linda Marsanico: Like a like an amusement park. And through that thought process.
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:11.260 NeoPositivity.com: I see everyone else and everything else
00:31:11.390 --> 00:31:30.560 NeoPositivity.com: as just energy, vibration, frequency, every interaction I have, be it just moving my arm to the right is vibrating this large energy wave that we are, this one single large energy wave that we are. And that thought process, that foundation
00:31:31.350 --> 00:31:44.569 NeoPositivity.com: allows me to automatically, see things differently, respond differently, act differently, love differently, feel differently about everything, from my neighbor to my car, to my kids, to this microphone.
00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:55.590 NeoPositivity.com: And that's what it is for me. It's just one big wave, and I'm very conscious of my thoughts, and how I feel and think about things like getting cut off on the highway.
00:31:55.690 --> 00:31:59.869 NeoPositivity.com: and as opposed to turning into a raging, you know, hulk
00:32:00.251 --> 00:32:13.459 NeoPositivity.com: you know, realizing I wasn't meant to be at that red light at that time that person could have just saved my life, and I'm so quick to do that that I'm actually proud of myself because I obviously where I come from. You know the hood.
00:32:13.660 --> 00:32:21.090 NeoPositivity.com: Everybody's very defensive to the point where they shoot at each other over smallest arguments.
00:32:21.300 --> 00:32:21.950 Linda Marsanico: Hmm.
00:32:21.950 --> 00:32:23.670 NeoPositivity.com: So yeah, that's that's my
00:32:24.110 --> 00:32:31.470 NeoPositivity.com: take on that. But I I do want to ask you, though, because I know it's your show and your host, and you're trying to get all this information out of me.
00:32:31.910 --> 00:32:34.300 NeoPositivity.com: It's been so long. I'd like to
00:32:34.630 --> 00:32:38.880 NeoPositivity.com: hear how you've progressed in that area since since the last show.
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:43.429 Linda Marsanico: I am constantly working on myself.
00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:51.220 Linda Marsanico: so I have to tell you what happened to me yesterday I was. I went to the post office to mail gifts to my
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:53.529 Linda Marsanico: grandchildren in California
00:32:53.890 --> 00:33:02.170 Linda Marsanico: very late to be mailing them. They should get there. So I go to the post office, and I'm proud of myself. How I handled all of this! That's why I'm sharing it.
00:33:02.430 --> 00:33:04.879 Linda Marsanico: although in my book I share lots of failures.
00:33:05.770 --> 00:33:09.240 Linda Marsanico: I go to the post office at 9 0. 6. It hasn't been opened yet.
00:33:09.660 --> 00:33:13.619 Linda Marsanico: I wait until 9 20. It's still not opened. It's shuttered.
00:33:13.780 --> 00:33:15.660 Linda Marsanico: So I walked about
00:33:15.840 --> 00:33:23.460 Linda Marsanico: 3 quarters of a mile to a bigger post office, and there was one woman serving people and another woman
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:26.080 Linda Marsanico: handling passports.
00:33:27.070 --> 00:33:37.050 Linda Marsanico: So after about half an hour, one woman had pulled off the line to do paperwork, and another man was there for about 5 or 6 or 7 min
00:33:37.380 --> 00:33:40.719 Linda Marsanico: because of his postbox not working.
00:33:42.010 --> 00:34:04.339 Linda Marsanico: He went off the line to do paperwork, so I'm standing about ready to be served, praying and meditating to be loving and compassionate. No irritation. I don't want any of it. I just want to be in the moment, and the woman who had stepped off the line to do paperwork steps right in front of me, which is her right, and she gets handled, and it doesn't get handled quickly. And then.
00:34:04.630 --> 00:34:06.720 Linda Marsanico: after she, the man.
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:28.439 Linda Marsanico: comes up and he's ready to be serviced, and I'm praying and meditating, and the woman who's very efficient. The postal worker said, Sir, I'm going to take care of this woman. Me. She's been waiting, and I know you have to get on. I have to get on a computer for you. I'll handle you just after I handle her, and I believe that my energy.
00:34:29.190 --> 00:34:31.650 Linda Marsanico: The loving energy she felt.
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:36.820 Linda Marsanico: So I thanked her. I walked back past the original post office
00:34:37.150 --> 00:34:40.000 Linda Marsanico: and they were still waiting online. It had not been opened.
00:34:41.139 --> 00:34:51.130 Linda Marsanico: and I did a little video on Facebook to share it with everybody, because I felt very pleased that through inconvenience and
00:34:51.520 --> 00:35:05.419 Linda Marsanico: some difficulties, that the Post Office is having a dysfunction. I was able to be loving and compassionate, and I work to do that every day. I smile rather than frown. I'm working to
00:35:05.830 --> 00:35:09.559 Linda Marsanico: get, not get rid of, but to let go of judgments.
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:10.820 Linda Marsanico: And
00:35:11.310 --> 00:35:23.170 Linda Marsanico: I manifested this radio show before my publisher came to me. I had said earlier that week. I want to be on radio, and I think that I've wanted to be on radio neo for all of my life.
00:35:24.100 --> 00:35:25.410 Linda Marsanico: And so
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:32.150 Linda Marsanico: she calls me. There's an opportunity here, and here I am. You are my 8th or 9th show.
00:35:32.830 --> 00:35:43.359 Linda Marsanico: and I'm continuing in January, so I'm doing well and going past my comfort zone doing workshops, and I want to be doing keynote, speaking as well.
00:35:44.420 --> 00:35:50.950 NeoPositivity.com: One of my biggest lessons, probably in 2022 or 2023, was to get out of my comfort zone.
00:35:51.482 --> 00:35:53.170 NeoPositivity.com: As you can imagine
00:35:53.790 --> 00:36:11.789 NeoPositivity.com: I've been retired since 2,008. I got money. I got my flight simulator. I got airplanes helicopter. I got everything I need right here. Why would I ever want to leave the house, and so I kind of get in that mode. I'm a homebody like I. Barely I picked my son up from school and other outside of that, us taking a golf cart to the park.
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:38.989 NeoPositivity.com: I don't really go many, many other places, because everything's here, and it's so comfortable. So when they asked me to go to these conferences, which I had never been to a conference before, it's just like so out of my comfort zone, and they asked me to go to these places and these countries and do these things. But I noticed that every time I step out of my comfort zone. My frequency goes through the roof, my paycheck goes through the roof. The amount of people I affect go through the roof.
00:36:39.140 --> 00:36:41.409 NeoPositivity.com: and so now I'm doing, Wolf.
00:36:41.590 --> 00:36:44.420 NeoPositivity.com: I probably did 16 conferences this year.
00:36:45.460 --> 00:36:58.030 NeoPositivity.com: and and then I went to Costa Rica. I just got back from Costa Rica yesterday. That was the 1st stamp I ever had on my passport, like I was always scared to go to countries like that, and as a test
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:05.859 NeoPositivity.com: to stay positive being in those seemingly 3rd World countries
00:37:06.060 --> 00:37:11.839 NeoPositivity.com: like Costa Rica is not a 3rd World country, but there are places that we pass by that was just depressing.
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:12.590 Linda Marsanico: Yeah.
00:37:12.917 --> 00:37:18.489 NeoPositivity.com: Constantly having to remind myself that you know I'm I'm in Costa Rica. I'm about to go
00:37:18.860 --> 00:37:22.249 NeoPositivity.com: repelling and horseback, and Atv.
00:37:22.700 --> 00:37:32.179 NeoPositivity.com: try not to let this get me down like it is a Testament, and I'm proud of you for being in that situation, that those in the mail and the post office that some of the
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:34.100 NeoPositivity.com: hardest lines to stand in.
00:37:34.535 --> 00:37:34.970 NeoPositivity.com: Okay.
00:37:34.970 --> 00:37:49.050 NeoPositivity.com: And one time I was there and similar situation. I was like the 4th person in line, and people were scattering to go sign stuff and write stuff and jumping right back in front of me. And I'm not used to that. I didn't know that they were allowed to jump back in front of you.
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:49.590 Linda Marsanico: Anyway.
00:37:49.590 --> 00:37:53.770 NeoPositivity.com: Or else anywhere else you get back in the back of the line. You should have had it filled out before you got there.
00:37:54.344 --> 00:37:58.890 NeoPositivity.com: But the guy in the post, in the in the in the passport office.
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:01.070 NeoPositivity.com: he said, Hey, come here.
00:38:01.470 --> 00:38:03.370 NeoPositivity.com: I went back there. He took care of me.
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:10.880 NeoPositivity.com: and I laugh. And so when you were telling that story, I was like, Oh, man, that's happened to me once. But yes, while you're in the thick of it.
00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:16.169 NeoPositivity.com: That is the most critical point. When you get that bad news, that bad email.
00:38:16.890 --> 00:38:24.310 NeoPositivity.com: how you handle that mentally, physically, emotionally, is going to term is going to determine what's going to happen next, and
00:38:25.070 --> 00:38:28.190 NeoPositivity.com: I look forward to those instances.
00:38:28.850 --> 00:38:38.479 NeoPositivity.com: I think I had this back in the day, but I called a beautiful tennis match when I asked the universe for something. It's like me hitting the ball in a tennis match.
00:38:39.220 --> 00:38:47.389 NeoPositivity.com: and I developed this this, saying that no matter what you ask for, the universe will always show, if not, prove to you that you cannot have it.
00:38:47.710 --> 00:39:13.860 NeoPositivity.com: In other words, doors will close, and it's how you respond to that determines if and when you get it. So when you ask the universe for something, you hit the ball, and then the universe is going to close that door. No, it's going to show you can't have it. That's the universe hitting the ball back now it's my turn. How am I going to respond? Am I going to cry about it? Am I going to go to Facebook? Am I going to give up, or am I going to say? No, I refuse to give up. I know that I'm gonna have this and hit the ball back.
00:39:14.050 --> 00:39:18.550 NeoPositivity.com: And so, in order for this tennis match to play out. I have to get that door slammed on.
00:39:19.210 --> 00:39:26.800 NeoPositivity.com: So when I do get that bad email, that phone call, I actually get excited. Okay, it's my turn now. The ball's in my court now it's my turn to respond.
00:39:26.970 --> 00:39:36.900 NeoPositivity.com: And so that's how I take those situations. And I and I commend you on being able to handle the post office is a difficult one. You never know how long you're going to be in there.
00:39:37.200 --> 00:39:45.539 Linda Marsanico: This is true. It reminds me of a time oh, at least 10 years ago I was looking for a Wednesday office.
00:39:46.580 --> 00:39:49.680 Linda Marsanico: and I went to Doorman's. This is in Manhattan.
00:39:50.300 --> 00:39:57.680 Linda Marsanico: and I went to doormen, and I networked no office. I sort of had a tantrum with God, you know.
00:39:58.720 --> 00:40:00.800 Linda Marsanico: and I let it go.
00:40:01.520 --> 00:40:05.400 Linda Marsanico: A year and a half later I get an email.
00:40:06.520 --> 00:40:13.729 Linda Marsanico: There's an office for rent right where I wanted it to be. For a Wednesday I went to look at it. It was
00:40:14.010 --> 00:40:38.209 Linda Marsanico: stunningly beautiful, but it was full time. I said, Well, I only want it for Wednesday, and she said, well, I'll let you know if I can't rent it. And it was mine. The Wednesday became available, and it was my favorite office. So there are times that when I request something, because I co-create, I say, thank you so much. You know this is what I want, and I know that you have
00:40:39.420 --> 00:40:44.940 Linda Marsanico: the greatest wisdom. You know it's in my best interests I defer to you.
00:40:45.900 --> 00:40:55.540 Linda Marsanico: And when I looked for a home in Sedona I looked for 2 years and gave up. I said, It's not the time. I didn't know what I was doing wrong.
00:40:56.050 --> 00:40:57.690 Linda Marsanico: And then I got an email
00:40:58.580 --> 00:41:06.169 Linda Marsanico: from a realtor, a dear friend of mine, and I went. I traveled to Sedona, looked at the house, spent 2 h in it.
00:41:06.530 --> 00:41:11.379 Linda Marsanico: and knew it was the house that I wanted. So we have to be patient and not give up faith.
00:41:11.980 --> 00:41:16.819 Linda Marsanico: because divine right timing is something to be reckoned with.
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:29.739 NeoPositivity.com: Yeah, once you put a timeline on something that's your timeline. Yeah, the universe. That's not the universes. That's not your neighbors. That's something you just made up so how dare you be upset when it doesn't come when you? You know
00:41:29.850 --> 00:41:37.340 NeoPositivity.com: I had to wrap my head around that a long time ago in order to give to give. There's 2 other things you mentioned I really want to key in on.
00:41:37.530 --> 00:41:39.399 NeoPositivity.com: and the one is letting go.
00:41:39.860 --> 00:41:45.319 NeoPositivity.com: It's like looking for your car keys you look, you look, you look! You can't find it. You can't find it. You let go. You find it.
00:41:46.330 --> 00:41:47.550 NeoPositivity.com: Use that
00:41:47.830 --> 00:42:05.280 NeoPositivity.com: as often as you possibly can use that letting go to get there. It might sound like it's the wrong thing to do. Just try it if you can't find your car keys. You can't find them, anyway. Just stop, breathe, go to the bathroom, walk around the house, think about something else, and it's gonna pop up
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:11.199 NeoPositivity.com: The other thing that you touched on briefly when you 1st started
00:42:12.650 --> 00:42:15.200 NeoPositivity.com: Was the tantrum.
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:20.099 NeoPositivity.com: I have gotten some of my quickest and best results
00:42:20.610 --> 00:42:33.049 NeoPositivity.com: from tantrums, and it's so weird to even say out loud. But you know, from midnight till 2 in the morning I do my thing a lot of times. It's in the garage, because no one can hear my crazy thoughts going where they go.
00:42:33.160 --> 00:42:35.550 NeoPositivity.com: So every now and then
00:42:35.940 --> 00:42:46.320 NeoPositivity.com: I'll be 2 years into a project, and I'll be wondering why it isn't happening. I've met all the right people. I'm doing all the right things. I'm doing a mental exercise. How has it not come to fruition yet?
00:42:46.560 --> 00:43:04.770 NeoPositivity.com: And I'll just be very upset at the universe because of whatever circumstances happened that day, and I'll go in the garage, and I will have a tantrum, and I'll be like what's going on. I'm doing this. I'm doing everything, and it'll get to the point where I'm feeling downright disrespectful
00:43:04.890 --> 00:43:10.518 NeoPositivity.com: to to God or God. Universe, whatever you believe created things, and as as it goes
00:43:11.290 --> 00:43:16.880 NeoPositivity.com: But I allow it, I allow myself to do that tantrum I allow myself to even curse.
00:43:17.020 --> 00:43:21.039 NeoPositivity.com: because at the end of the day that's me. That's my essence that I'm talking to.
00:43:21.450 --> 00:43:23.990 NeoPositivity.com: and it knows where I'm coming from.
00:43:24.510 --> 00:43:30.739 NeoPositivity.com: and I gotta tell you when I have these tantrums. The next day I wake up with an email that solved everything.
00:43:31.110 --> 00:43:31.850 Linda Marsanico: Whoa!
00:43:31.850 --> 00:43:34.790 NeoPositivity.com: Tenfold, which makes me
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:41.639 NeoPositivity.com: welcome when I'm feeling that now it's not often. And the tantrums you always end in me smiling and saying, man. I got this.
00:43:42.040 --> 00:43:48.379 NeoPositivity.com: but allowing that let go of emotion has been very, very impactful and powerful in my life.
00:43:50.020 --> 00:43:53.149 Linda Marsanico: Wow! It's quite a story, the tantrum.
00:43:54.660 --> 00:44:02.310 Linda Marsanico: We have a commercial break coming up, and when we come back
00:44:03.100 --> 00:44:07.709 Linda Marsanico: I'd like to have you talk a bit about dreaming big.
00:44:07.850 --> 00:44:14.429 Linda Marsanico: You mentioned it in our 1st in the 1st podcast science and spirituality.
00:44:14.850 --> 00:44:21.210 Linda Marsanico: And you've alluded to it today. Or maybe you've even said it today. But I'd like to hear
00:44:21.420 --> 00:44:23.040 Linda Marsanico: a bit more about that.
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:24.870 Linda Marsanico: Yeah.
00:44:24.980 --> 00:44:26.900 Linda Marsanico: So we're off to a break.
00:46:02.210 --> 00:46:12.669 Linda Marsanico: Hello, everyone! Welcome back to the A. Train to Sedona with my guest, Neo Davila, also known as Neopositivity.
00:46:12.970 --> 00:46:16.580 Linda Marsanico: So nia neo, we're talking about dreaming big.
00:46:18.080 --> 00:46:19.010 NeoPositivity.com: I've
00:46:19.340 --> 00:46:27.790 NeoPositivity.com: I guess I was just born that way because everything I've ever done I wanted to be number one, not in the room, not in the country
00:46:27.990 --> 00:46:29.210 NeoPositivity.com: on the planet.
00:46:29.500 --> 00:46:35.089 NeoPositivity.com: And let's just use running. For example, I was never the fastest guy on my football team.
00:46:35.772 --> 00:46:38.900 NeoPositivity.com: And I knew that some people were just naturally blessed.
00:46:39.090 --> 00:46:42.509 NeoPositivity.com: Maybe they had a harder work work ethic on top of that.
00:46:43.001 --> 00:46:47.380 NeoPositivity.com: But I could be the best player on the team, and
00:46:47.860 --> 00:46:53.899 NeoPositivity.com: because I couldn't be the fastest, and was never the fastest, I learned how to be the best. Me that I could be
00:46:54.530 --> 00:47:01.606 NeoPositivity.com: better better than to me 5 min ago, better than to me one second ago, and that was good enough. That was good enough to
00:47:02.420 --> 00:47:12.029 NeoPositivity.com: to fulfill me and make me feel great, because I'm constantly upgrading, optimizing, and being a better person than I was 5 min ago yesterday a day ago.
00:47:12.260 --> 00:47:20.020 NeoPositivity.com: So that's that's 1 thing. That's 1 side of the coin. Now, here's another side of the coin.
00:47:20.660 --> 00:47:25.849 NeoPositivity.com: What we do awakening people opening minds.
00:47:26.550 --> 00:47:30.850 NeoPositivity.com: We gotta think about who we're challenging, and we're
00:47:31.110 --> 00:47:34.400 NeoPositivity.com: challenging the powers to be that want us
00:47:34.640 --> 00:47:43.709 NeoPositivity.com: to stay where we're at as a society, as a community to stay asleep, to not see what's going on. So we are taking on
00:47:44.020 --> 00:47:51.809 NeoPositivity.com: the biggest opponents that this world has to offer right now, and I love that.
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:58.520 NeoPositivity.com: I love that as a competitive person who would you want to compete against? Besides, the biggest
00:47:58.650 --> 00:48:06.559 NeoPositivity.com: force on a planet. So let's go. Let's awaken people. Let's take control, and let's you know.
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:27.900 NeoPositivity.com: not be be slaves to this earth anymore. Let's enjoy it. Let's stop destroying the planet with all the products and things that that we're putting out there, and I love that you're doing what you do, and I thank you for being a soldier in this world. Negativity. I had to say that, and I had to say this, too, that there's
00:48:28.020 --> 00:48:32.180 NeoPositivity.com: millions of people out there that you're not going to get to hear. Say, thank you
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:55.719 NeoPositivity.com: in your lifetime that have heard your words, and that you've affected, and on behalf of all them I want to say thank you to you for that, because you I never forgot your name. I never forgot your face. You have always been one of, if not the best conversations I've had on these platforms over the years, and that's that's why we're still in in touch now. So I appreciate everything you do.
00:48:56.100 --> 00:49:00.159 Linda Marsanico: You touched my heart. Neo, thank you so much for sharing that.
00:49:00.980 --> 00:49:02.000 NeoPositivity.com: Definitely.
00:49:03.700 --> 00:49:05.770 Linda Marsanico: Can you tell me how you relax?
00:49:07.690 --> 00:49:17.059 NeoPositivity.com: I'm a i'm a relaxed type person. You know. Even when I just got done chasing and hogtying a guy with a gun.
00:49:19.300 --> 00:49:21.009 NeoPositivity.com: I just get back to being mean.
00:49:21.730 --> 00:49:28.029 NeoPositivity.com: I've always thought of my job and the things that I do as a business card in my wallet in my pocket.
00:49:28.520 --> 00:49:34.189 NeoPositivity.com: It's not who I am. It's just a card in my wallet that feeds my wallet
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:43.440 NeoPositivity.com: in my pocket, and who I am, has always been secure. I've always known who I was, you know, young black male.
00:49:43.670 --> 00:49:47.009 NeoPositivity.com: you know, and I'm enjoying it everywhere I can.
00:49:47.660 --> 00:49:59.680 NeoPositivity.com: you know, and I've I've always been that I've never been really, really high strung. So when the high strung situations come in, I get to my breathing techniques. I've always been up on breathing techniques. Even when I didn't know they were a thing.
00:50:00.200 --> 00:50:00.740 Linda Marsanico: You know.
00:50:00.740 --> 00:50:13.419 NeoPositivity.com: Growing up with Karate and football. When you're out of breath they're like, breathe, breathe, you get stressed, I say, breathe back in the day. I know you remember. You don't see it now, but everybody used to have the brown paper bag.
00:50:14.790 --> 00:50:42.439 NeoPositivity.com: It was in at least once time in every movie. Somebody was breathing into a paper bag for a couple of years when they got, you know, excited. And you know, I've always just adapted that which really really helps wim Hof method. However, you need to learn it. I suggest everybody learn a couple breathing techniques and learn that there's a difference between inhaling and exhaling for more seconds. Get into that. It's it's really, really helpful.
00:50:43.240 --> 00:50:46.070 NeoPositivity.com: I've always had this one philosophy, too.
00:50:46.390 --> 00:50:52.149 NeoPositivity.com: ever since I got out the hood, and it's that it's not going to kill
00:50:53.470 --> 00:50:57.620 NeoPositivity.com: you. Hang up the phone with some bad news. It's not gonna kill me.
00:50:57.850 --> 00:50:58.560 Linda Marsanico: Right.
00:50:59.590 --> 00:51:08.329 NeoPositivity.com: I'm going to get through this and that right there, you know, it just calms me down. And and this came later on in my life. But recognizing that
00:51:08.640 --> 00:51:10.270 NeoPositivity.com: in this moment.
00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:17.260 NeoPositivity.com: probably over 80% of the problems that are going on in your life in this moment, you can't do anything about it.
00:51:18.310 --> 00:51:31.569 NeoPositivity.com: The phone call that needs to get made. They don't open till tomorrow the email that needs to get handled. You haven't received a reply yet. So in this moment, right now, I can't do anything about it except wait for that correspondence.
00:51:31.900 --> 00:51:33.790 NeoPositivity.com: So why am I going to stress about it?
00:51:33.990 --> 00:51:38.060 NeoPositivity.com: You know. So a couple of realizations over the years have really shaped me
00:51:38.230 --> 00:51:41.050 NeoPositivity.com: to really be calm in a lot of situations.
00:51:43.390 --> 00:51:46.790 Linda Marsanico: Would you share your favorite breathing technique.
00:51:49.520 --> 00:51:57.579 NeoPositivity.com: I just make sure I exhale for more seconds than I inhale, because that puts you in a state of calm where vice versa would put you in a state of excitement.
00:51:57.720 --> 00:51:58.465 NeoPositivity.com: And
00:51:59.520 --> 00:52:17.039 NeoPositivity.com: I would say, inhale for 4 seconds. Exhale, for like 6 or 7, anything over 4 like 5 is good enough. That's the one that I kind of go back to, because the wim hof! I think it's like 4, 7, 8 inhale for you know it's inhale for 4 seconds. Hold for 8. Exhale for 7 seconds.
00:52:17.450 --> 00:52:29.679 NeoPositivity.com: That would be my second best. But a lot of times I'm focused. I got stuff going on. I just need to make sure that I exhale for more seconds than I inhale. That's my best, best and most used technique.
00:52:31.050 --> 00:52:33.489 Linda Marsanico: Exhaling more deeply than inhaling.
00:52:34.920 --> 00:52:36.109 NeoPositivity.com: For more seconds.
00:52:36.140 --> 00:52:51.409 Linda Marsanico: 4 more seconds, yeah, say 4, and then exhale 6 or 7 calms the nervous system. It oxygenates the cells, it reduces blood pressure, and it encourages and actually engages the parasympathetic nervous system
00:52:51.560 --> 00:52:57.970 Linda Marsanico: to calm the sympathetic nervous system. So breathing is an essential
00:52:58.300 --> 00:53:02.390 Linda Marsanico: tool in the tool, the spiritual and physical toolkit.
00:53:03.140 --> 00:53:29.129 NeoPositivity.com: And, like I said before, the brain is a muscle, it has muscle memory. The more you do these breathing exercises and these critical and normal moments, the more the brain will remember to do them. So now I've programmed my brain to automatically do them when I get that news, so I don't have to take that extra step, because if you don't remember to do it, you may stay in a state of panic for 30 min before you start exercising all those nerves. So
00:53:29.730 --> 00:53:33.789 NeoPositivity.com: brain muscle exercises get it right. Practice makes perfect.
00:53:34.120 --> 00:53:39.340 Linda Marsanico: Yes, and if we should hang on to something like anger or panic
00:53:39.460 --> 00:53:42.469 Linda Marsanico: a time it registers in every cell.
00:53:42.770 --> 00:53:58.550 Linda Marsanico: and it takes a while to undo that. So better to have the technique right at hand in your mind, ready to go. And I think there are lots of opportunities today with everything that's going on for us to breathe, breathe, breathe.
00:53:58.550 --> 00:54:08.560 NeoPositivity.com: Yeah, you gotta just make it normal practice. It's got to be a thing for me like I if I'm lucky enough, I don't believe in luck, but I still use the phrase for all intents and purposes.
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:11.709 NeoPositivity.com: When I walk from here to the next room.
00:54:12.380 --> 00:54:20.320 NeoPositivity.com: something about me will wake up from the random train of thoughts that's going on, and say, Hey, do a mental exercise. Let's do a breathing technique.
00:54:21.030 --> 00:54:30.940 NeoPositivity.com: that's all it takes. Do that. A couple do that for proactively. Wake up, set an alarm on your phone whatever to do that 4 times a day. Tomorrow your brain will automatically have you do it 3 times.
00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:35.449 NeoPositivity.com: and then you've started a pattern start working on it, and it becomes second nature.
00:54:36.100 --> 00:54:38.239 Linda Marsanico: Sounds fabulous. Neil.
00:54:39.110 --> 00:54:41.419 NeoPositivity.com: It's a great way to live. I'll tell you that.
00:54:41.650 --> 00:54:42.409 Linda Marsanico: The healthy way.
00:54:42.750 --> 00:54:43.740 NeoPositivity.com: It is.
00:54:45.030 --> 00:54:47.480 Linda Marsanico: So of all the things that you do.
00:54:48.030 --> 00:54:50.849 Linda Marsanico: what do you enjoy? The most.
00:54:53.330 --> 00:54:57.930 NeoPositivity.com: I think, garage time that alone. Time.
00:54:58.080 --> 00:55:13.760 NeoPositivity.com: my son, is in his room right now, and when I end this I can do as many mental exercises as I want. But you know there's gonna be a part of me that's like, you know, I have some crazy ideas sometime. But when he's not here, and this house is empty.
00:55:15.270 --> 00:55:28.130 NeoPositivity.com: which is a shame, because I know. What do they call it? Mental torture? Most people can't sit in the chair quietly without their phone for 3 min without getting antsy. They cannot do it. So for me to have
00:55:28.660 --> 00:55:31.839 NeoPositivity.com: accepted, because I believe this is a part of all of us.
00:55:32.040 --> 00:55:37.989 NeoPositivity.com: Boredom is a learned behavior for me to accept being able to sit still
00:55:38.530 --> 00:55:41.700 NeoPositivity.com: to the point where I enjoy it. It's my most favorite activity.
00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:49.890 NeoPositivity.com: I'm just a totally different person than I used to be, and and I love it. I look forward to my family going to sleep so I can get to work
00:55:50.230 --> 00:55:51.430 NeoPositivity.com: absolutely.
00:55:51.430 --> 00:55:54.350 Linda Marsanico: It's quiet time. I know that feeling.
00:55:55.190 --> 00:55:57.990 Linda Marsanico: How long do you sit still without doing anything.
00:55:58.940 --> 00:55:59.940 NeoPositivity.com: It depends.
00:56:00.090 --> 00:56:03.120 NeoPositivity.com: It depends. I can sit
00:56:03.370 --> 00:56:20.119 NeoPositivity.com: for as long as I put it to you this way. I have a snorkel, a full face snorkel with the thing that comes out the top. So you don't have to touch your nose or you breathe out of both your nose and your mouth. Basically. So picture a full face with a tube coming out the longest. I in my pool is 8 was 8 feet.
00:56:20.420 --> 00:56:22.180 NeoPositivity.com: so I could stand
00:56:22.580 --> 00:56:29.390 NeoPositivity.com: perfectly still, and my body felt where it needed to be my arms and legs and have it there the longest I stayed was 4 h
00:56:29.960 --> 00:56:34.149 NeoPositivity.com: in one spot, and the only the only only reason I left was because I had to use the bathroom.
00:56:34.720 --> 00:56:35.730 Linda Marsanico: 4 h.
00:56:35.980 --> 00:56:36.580 NeoPositivity.com: I haven't.
00:56:36.580 --> 00:56:41.859 NeoPositivity.com: You're underwater all the sounds, birds, cars, anything gone.
00:56:42.400 --> 00:57:05.299 NeoPositivity.com: And so that's an intense intense, and you know, that would go from meditating to where I'm trying not to think about any thoughts at all, and just keep clearing my mind over and over again, and then a scenario come up that I want to run, and I call it proactive, manifesting at that point when I'm running a futuristic scenario that I want to be my future. I'm really feeling it and enjoying it. I call that proactive manifesting. So
00:57:05.300 --> 00:57:13.460 NeoPositivity.com: I may sit in one spot for hours and do that, and then I get inspired. And I'm like I need to write this down, and I get my ipad, and I hit, record and
00:57:13.630 --> 00:57:17.219 NeoPositivity.com: dictate whatever I was just saying. And then I go sit back down again.
00:57:17.420 --> 00:57:20.969 NeoPositivity.com: or I may need to pace back and forth whatever it takes.
00:57:21.170 --> 00:57:29.169 NeoPositivity.com: I just trust my gut and do what feels right, and I just speak what comes to me from the universe, and it just ends up being greatness. So I just trust it.
00:57:30.170 --> 00:57:32.410 Linda Marsanico: I want to thank you for sharing
00:57:32.820 --> 00:57:38.600 Linda Marsanico: your secrets, your techniques. I think that you share. You're very generous about that.
00:57:39.060 --> 00:57:52.500 Linda Marsanico: I want to say that to my listeners that this is a spiritual time of year a wonderful gift could be buying a copy of the A train to Sedona to give to your loved ones.
00:57:52.690 --> 00:57:57.030 Linda Marsanico: I also want to say, Neo, how can people find you.
