- 0:36dot com and the Addiction Coach Online. Hey, creator so rundemand and the
- 0:41Addiction's Academy. I've got a secret for you today that I want to talk
- 0:45about, which is the crux of the Life Coach method that my sister Jenny
- 0:50Fontana and I have created. And it is a short fire way to make
- 0:55anything happen. So get a pen, get a piece of paper, and
- 1:00write this down. I'll wait, No, really, get a pen,
- 1:06a piece of paper. This is really good And no, you can't write
- 1:08it on your phone. So here's what I want you to do. I
- 1:12want you to draw a triangle, just a triangle, on your paper,
- 1:18and I want you to think about any life adventure you've encounter, work,
- 1:23kids, stress, whatever have you. At the top left hand corner of
- 1:29your triangle. On the outside, I want you to write circumstance, circumstance,
- 1:34anything having it come into work early, the kids forgot their homework,
- 1:38the husband wants to know what's for dinner, whatever, circumstance. Now the
- 1:44pinnacle of your triangle, the very very top. I want you to write
- 1:47the word feeling, So feeling at the pinnacle top of your triangle. And
- 1:53at the bottom left hand corner of your triangle, I want you to write
- 1:57the word thought. But thoughts pop into your head all the time. Right,
- 2:00I'm tired, I'm hungry, I'm lonely, I'm bored. This sucks.
- 2:04That's a thought or is it right? Thought? And in the bottom
- 2:08right hand corner, I want you to write action, action and action is
- 2:15what you do. Right, So you have circumstance off to the left,
- 2:20a feeling at the top of your triangle, thought bottom left, action,
- 2:23bottom right. And then on the far right side, I want you to
- 2:27write outcome or consequence. Outcome or consequence. So let's roll it. A
- 2:35circumstance leads to a feeling, right, something in your life happens and you
- 2:39have a feeling that leads to a thought which leads to an action, which
- 2:46leads to an outcome or consequence, depending on what your action step is.
- 2:51So let's do something very simple. First circumstance, my husband left the cap
- 2:58off the toothpaste. Feeling I am irritated. Thought, I'm gonna go yell
- 3:05at him. Action, I yell at my husband. Consequence, he doesn't
- 3:09speak to me for two days. That's a scenario, right, Let's run
- 3:15it a little differently. Circumstance my husband left the cap off the toothpaste.
- 3:20Feeling I'm irritated. Thought, I really love him, and in the broad
- 3:27scheme of things, the cap on the toothpaste really isn't that big of a
- 3:30deal. Action, I'll put it on myself. Outcome, We're going to
- 3:35dinner and having a good time. So you cannot change the circumstance. You
- 3:39cannot change your feeling around the circumstance. What you can change is your thought.
- 3:46If you change your thought, you change your action. Now, if
- 3:52you're esoteric or empathic or ethereal, or you believe in energy and a law
- 3:59of attraction, that thought has a lot of freaking power. That thought dictates
- 4:05the next two steps and how your life travels. So you can take this
- 4:11very simple triangle and do it with very big things. Let's do something big.
- 4:17Circumstance I lost my job feeling, Oh shit, how am I gonna
- 4:23pay the rent? Everything is falling apart, I'm gonna be evicted, I'm
- 4:26gonna lose my house. Blah blah blah. These are feelings. I'm sad,
- 4:30right, I'm sorry. Those are thoughts. Feeling Oh my god,
- 4:32panic thoughts negative negative, negative, negative, Right, watch it again.
- 4:39Circumstance I lost my job feeling, oh shit, thought, I'm gonna be
- 4:44homeless, I'm gonna lose my car. What am I gonna do now?
- 4:46Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Those thoughts have power. You
- 4:51have now created negative thought process and put your brain in survival mode, which
- 4:58is the back half of your brain that has now become everything. Your actions
- 5:03now will come from the negative thought pattern, so your actions will be negative.
- 5:11They will be impactful. So instead of going from the feeling to the
- 5:16thought, you have to stop and say, what's the feeling? Oh shit,
- 5:20this is bad, right thought. Hang on a second, I'm gonna
- 5:26cancel. Cancel that negative thought. That's some Jose Silver work for you.
- 5:30Cancel Cancel that negative thought. Right, So, feeling oh shit, negative
- 5:33thought. Oh my god, I'm gonna lose my car, I'm gonna lose
- 5:36the house. What am I gonna do? This is awful? Cancel,
- 5:40Cancel all of it. Switch your thought new thought. I'm gonna get a
- 5:44better job. I'm gonna get a better job that pays twice as much,
- 5:47or ten times as much, or twenty times as much, whatever's realistic for
- 5:51you. It could even be ten dollars more. It's going to pay more
- 5:56than what I have now, and I'm going to be happier. That's the
- 6:02new thought, and it can be any thought. Maybe I'll start my own
- 6:05company. New thought. Now, what's your action? Different? Action step,
- 6:12isn't it because if your consequence is coming out the back end, it's
- 6:19either going to be negative or positive. Outcomes and consequences can be negative or
- 6:24positive. A negative consequence would be what I lost my job feeling as oh
- 6:30shit, thought, everything's falling apart. Action step. I'm gonna sell everything
- 6:34I own because I don't know what to do. Action step, I've lost
- 6:40everything and still have no job. However, if I change that thought pattern
- 6:44into all the possibilities of action, it changes everything. In my last podcast,
- 6:55I talked about how to manifest, and I said, it's not just
- 6:58intention. You see a lot of TikTokers and pop psychology and parapsychology people going
- 7:02oh my god. I just sat there and went, I cannot wait to
- 7:05have more money, and it just flew to me like a big magnet.
- 7:10Yeah, that's about thirty percent of what you need to do. That's not
- 7:14how it works exactly. So it's the intent first, followed by gratitude for
- 7:18what you have, followed by action. A lot of people miss the second
- 7:24and third step. They're not grateful for what they have and they do not
- 7:26create an action plan. So in this triangle, it's important we do the
- 7:31action step or we're not going to have the outcome. So circumstance I lost
- 7:35my job feeling oh shit, thought you know what, I'm going to get
- 7:40a better job, better working conditions, more pay, more benefits, or
- 7:44I'm going to start that company. Your action step is completely different than it
- 7:48would be if you threw in the towel and said I can't do this,
- 7:51life's over. Completely different. That action step comes off the thought pattern.
- 7:59Now what happens is people will get caught up in the negative thought, and
- 8:05they will say, okay, I have this negative thought and they call it
- 8:09a ruminating thought. Right, it's always in my head something bad is gonna
- 8:13happen, something bad is gonna happen, something bad is gonna happen. And
- 8:15then you know what, something bad happens and they say, look, I
- 8:20told you that something bad was gonna happen. That is called a self fulfilling
- 8:26prophecy. So basically you created that nonsense that got created and born out of
- 8:37fear. So the feeling can be oh shit, panic, but the thought
- 8:41cannot be fearful. The thought has to be I got this, I'm gonna
- 8:46do this, and this is how I'm gonna do it. This is my
- 8:50action plan followed by action steps actually happening. So that's how this works.
- 8:58You can change anything. You have the ability to create anything. A lot
- 9:03of people don't think that way. They say, oh, my goodness,
- 9:05I work a nine to five, I go to work every day. This
- 9:09is all I have, this is all I'm going to do. I'm average.
- 9:13And I say, well, if you think your average, your average,
- 9:16But if you don't think your average, guess what your action step will
- 9:20be completely different. If your thought is I'm average, I'm happy with my
- 9:24job, I'm happy with my husband, and I'm okay not making money,
- 9:28and I don't want to travel and I don't want to do those things,
- 9:30then your action steps will reflect that. But you've heard the term hustle.
- 9:35Hustle comes from I can do more thought followed by an action of watch me
- 9:41do it. That's why people who are in the top one percent my clients,
- 9:46the top performers, are completely different than you. They are different because
- 9:54their thought is I'm unstoppable. It doesn't necessarily mean they have more money and
- 10:00more resources. I work with clients that had no money that started a company.
- 10:05I had six companies. I started all six with less than three hundred
- 10:09bucks in my bank account. I made six, seven and eight figures.
- 10:13Why my thought patterns are different. I didn't come from money. My parents
- 10:20were poor. My father never graduated high school, my stepfather never graduated high
- 10:24school, and my mother had this same job right out of high school in
- 10:26the film file room, filing film for the hospital. They had no resources,
- 10:31they never left the town they were born in. They didn't pay for
- 10:35my college education. Say here's your car, or hey, here, let's
- 10:39meet some people that have money. So you learn I literally had nothing when
- 10:43I packed my car up and left at nineteen. So how is that possible?
- 10:48It's possible. Not because of luck, It's possible because of thought pattern.
- 10:54I've been homeless twice, and my thought pattern has been how am I
- 10:58going to make this better? Am I going to get out of this?
- 11:01My circumstances, I lost everything in a fire and I lost my company in
- 11:03two thousand and eight the economic downturn, my feeling was, oh shit,
- 11:09I lost all my cars, lost all my houses, I lost my bank
- 11:11account, I lost my company. Everything. Here I am in a house
- 11:16with no running water, no heat, in Philadelphia in winter, with nothing.
- 11:20Thought how am I going to rebound? What does this look like?
- 11:26What new company can I create? How do I get out of this situation?
- 11:30Followed by action. Let's put an LLC together, Let's put a website
- 11:33together, let's start marketing, let's figure it out. That's the difference.
- 11:37If you want to be successful at anything in life, you have to change
- 11:43your thought. Your feeling is completely valid. So when you have a feeling,
- 11:48whether it's sadness, happiness, anger, joy, frustration, say to
- 11:54yourself. Your feeling is valid, you have a right to feel this way,
- 11:58but your thought is the difference. What your next thought is changes the
- 12:03game. If your thought is I can't handle this, I'm overwhelmed, I'm
- 12:09gonna get high, your action is getting high. Your outcome is you're high.
- 12:13You're now a drug addict. Congratulations. If your thought is I'm gonna
- 12:16lay in bed because I'm depressed. I can't handle this. Your action is
- 12:20laying in bed you get nothing done. Your outcome is nothing gets done and
- 12:24it gets worse. Congratulations. Your feeling is valid. Your thought is what
- 12:30you change. So I teach this in the Life Coach method. I also
- 12:35teach this in the Coach Me courses on a Pause your Life when we do
- 12:39the deep dives and how to restructure your brain. You literally have to change
- 12:43everything you think to become successful. Every time a negative thought enters your head,
- 12:48say cancel, cancel. That's Jose Silva, it's amazing stuff. Negative
- 12:52thought, I can't do it. Cancel cancel, Yes I can. Negative
- 12:58thought. Someone else is going to tell me that I can't have this.
- 13:01Cancel cancel, Yes I can. And if you're looking at somebody for a
- 13:05specific thing like, let's say you're applying for a job and you go in
- 13:09you don't get hired. That's okay, don't throw the towel in and go,
- 13:13oh my god, no one wants to hire me. Stop and think
- 13:16what else can I do? How can I think outside the box? What
- 13:20are my other options? What things can be done as opposed to what's happening
- 13:26right here? That's what you want to do. That's where people fail.
- 13:31They don't think outside the box. They don't think what other options do I
- 13:35have? Why am I stuck in this situation? You're never stuck in a
- 13:39situation. That's my big thing. I've always said, You're never stuck.
- 13:45All you have to do is think your way out of the situation. What
- 13:50does that mean. It means you don't panic or panic, let it roll,
- 13:54and then get into thought process. That's all you have to do.
- 13:58That's where people get stuck. They're not thinking clearly. They're coming from a
- 14:03point of survival, which is the back of the brain. You cannot create
- 14:07when the back of your brain is in survival mode, especially if you're barely
- 14:11making it paying the bill. So if you're running to work, putting in
- 14:15a full day running to the grocery store, coming home, picking up the
- 14:18kids, making dinner, feeding the dog, walking the dog, cleaning the
- 14:22house, going to bed, and doing it again. You're in survival mode.
- 14:24You're not going to create from survival mode. You can't. Your brain
- 14:28won't allow it. You have to have a clear headed brain to do that.
- 14:33That takes time, that takes energy, that takes effort, and that
- 14:37takes clarity. But you can't do that from a point of survival. You
- 14:41have to literally have somebody help you get out of survival mode or change the
- 14:48thought. How am I going to make this better? How can I make
- 14:52this easier? What are my options? What options do I have to make
- 14:58things change? What thoughts can I think? And if you don't have options,
- 15:03thoughts are ways around what you have? How does it work? What
- 15:09can I do? What are my options? What can I think about that
- 15:13will change things? This is where you can get with somebody else and bounce
- 15:18ideas. Here's where I'm stuck. What do you think? And get people
- 15:22to give you ideas on what you're stuck in? Where am I stuck?
- 15:24What's the problem? How do I get around it? That's the thought.
- 15:28Big corporations have think tanks, and in that think tank, it's all thought,
- 15:35Here is our circumstance, Here is what we need to figure out.
- 15:39Then we think, then we roll ideas. That is the triangle. Then
- 15:43we take action, and then we have an outcome. It's that simple.
- 15:48So try using this the next time you're stuck on something or have a problem,
- 15:52or something comes into your life and you go, oh crap, I
- 15:54feel weird about that. What's my thought? How am I gonna do this?
- 15:58How am I gonna make this play successful? And roll it? So
- 16:03remember, circumstance leads to a feeling. Feelings are valid Validate your feelings.
- 16:07I have a right to be pissed off. Absolutely thought, I'm gonna do
- 16:12this action actually doing that thing, and that changes everything. That changes your
- 16:21outcome and your consequence. Start doing that. Check out the life coach method
