  Speaker 1: Welcome back, beautiful souls, welcome back to the sweet spot where science meets soul.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: So you are in win it all Wednesday, and I'm Dr Derek Sweet, your host, and I'm feeling particularly energized today because we are on such a powerful journey here, talking about purposeful power and what that means.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Well, monday we discovered the three sources of power within us and yesterday, take Action Tuesday, we put that power into action.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And today, on Win it All Wednesday, we're taking it to the next level as we explore what it truly means to win with purposeful power.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: As you know, I'm a board certified psychiatrist and I specialize in sports psychiatry and high performance, and so this is right down my alley to talk about purposeful power this week.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes when people hear win it all Wednesday, here on the sweet spot, they think it's about competing with others or chasing external victories.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And yeah, that's a part of it sometimes.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But what I've learned working with elite athletes and high performers is this that winning it starts.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: It starts with something much deeper, something within.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It's about aligning your power with your purpose.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: That's the key.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And when that happens, oh, oh, when that happens, beautiful souls, that's when you experience what I call the magic, the power multiplication effect.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: So this PME, or power multiplication effect, is a super powerful exercise that we do with athletes all the time and I want to share with you today on Win it All Wednesday.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: It's really fascinating.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Let me talk to you about the neuroscience just before we get into it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: When you align your actions with your deeper purpose, as we've been saying here, do you know what happens in your brain?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Deeper purpose, as we've been saying here, do you know what happens in your brain?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: It releases a set of chemicals that you need to know about, and that is dopamine, which is the reward chemical, and we all know about that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But do you know?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: It also releases another neurochemical called oxytocin, and that's the connection hormone, or the connection transmitter, and norepinephrine, which is the focus enhancer.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So this cocktail of norepinephrine and oxytocin and dopamine are swirling around in our bodies, making us feel good and feel more powerful.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So it's like your brain creates a natural power cocktail that amplifies everything you do.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Civil rights leader Howard Thurman captured it in this quote.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: You know I love giving a quote every episode I give you a quote, and this quote is this don't ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive and go.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: That aliveness, that's your power in full bloom.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Let's repeat that.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Don't ask what the world needs.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Ask what makes you come alive and go do it, because what the world needs is people who have come alive, and that aliveness, that's your power in full bloom.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, my friends, it's powerful to look at these quotes and to let them sink in.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And this reminds me of scripture.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: You know, we are where science meets soul, here on the Sweet Spot.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to transition right into the scriptures.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: That says this I have come that they might have life and have it more abundantly.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Wow, you know what you see?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: You see, my friend, winning is not about just having more than others.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: It's about living abundantly, having abundance in your life, living into the fullness of who you were created to be, that when you come from a place of abundance, you are already a winner.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It's about letting your power serve your highest purpose.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So, yes, let's get back to this.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Let's do what I call this power alignment check.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Right, I want you to take a deep breath with me Now.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Think about something you're working to achieve right now.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Got it, something you're working on?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Good?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Let's ask three questions.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: One, does this goal that you're working on energize your physical power, making you feel more alive?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Does it?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Two, does it engage your mental brain, your mental power?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Do you feel mentally stimulated by it?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Is it challenging you to grow mentally?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And three, does it connect with your spiritual power?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Does it align with your deeper sense of self, your deeper sense of purpose and meaning, your why?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: In other words, if you answered yes to all three of these questions, you are in what I call your power.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Get this sweet spot.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, because?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: A.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: You want the mind, the body and the spirit to be aligned with what you're feeling about and what you're thinking about and what you want to achieve.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Always check these three sources of your power to see if it's working.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Sometimes, when something is not working, it's because you're out of alignment with the mind, the body or the spirit.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, so what am I saying?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: You may need to take a walk sometimes when you feel mentally stuck Because you need to do something physical, or you may need to stop moving around and being so busy and take a moment to reflect and do something mental instead.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: If you're stuck, to reflect and do something mental instead, if you're stuck, or if nothing is working and you've tried everything.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the time you let your spirit take over and you pray, you meditate, you reflect, you get connected to the bigger source.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about in terms of your real world application.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: You know, I worked with a corporate executive once who was chasing a promotion and she kept going for promotion after promotion.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: She wasn't getting it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: She kept blowing the interviews and I told her you need to do a power alignment check.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Right, because she was doing everything in her mental power, right, to get this promotion, but she wasn't taking care of herself physically and she wasn't taking care of herself spiritually.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: You know, once she got it and she aligned herself, her whole energy changed, her vibe changed and her interviewing style changed and she got her promotion.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So that's your real world example.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: This does work, all right.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So I want you to think about what you want.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Align your mind, your body and your spirit.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Today, I want you to see yourself as an abundant winner.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: God has come to give you life, and life more abundantly.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So you have it.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Greater is that which is in you than what's in the world.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So, beautiful souls, I want you to remember as we close winning isn't about dominating always.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It's about radiating your power, letting it shine in a way that lifts everyone around you.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Okay now.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: So tomorrow is Trust Yourself.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Thursday, we will explore how to maintain this powerful alignment we've been speaking about, even when you face doubts, challenges, setbacks and when things go south.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Until then, my friends, keep reminding yourself that the power is in you and it's greater in you than what's in the world, and that you can do this.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Okay now, if you want to check with me, look me up on LinkedIn or on Instagram.
