  Speaker 1: Welcome back, beautiful souls, welcome back to the sweet spot where science meets soul.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: So you are in trust yourself Thursday, and I'm Dr Derek Sweet, I'm your host and I'm feeling particularly connected to each of you today.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: We've been on quite a journey this week, haven't we?
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Discovering our power, putting it into action and aligning it with purpose.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: All week long we've been talking about purposeful power and it's been fun.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Now we're arriving at what might be the most crucial piece to the puzzle Learning to trust ourselves and learning to trust the power within you.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: You know, this morning, as I was preparing for our time together, I was listening to Tupac's Me Against the World classic, and there's this line that hits different when you're thinking about power and self-trust.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: He says through every dark night there's a bright day after that.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: So, no matter how hard it gets, stick your chest out, keep your head up and handle it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You know that's not just poetry, that's profound wisdom.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Profound wisdom about trusting your inner power when everything around you says doubt yourself.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: When everything around you says doubt yourself, let's talk about what happens in your brain when you choose to trust yourself your amygdala.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: That's a brain structure.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I talked to you about that in the past.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: It's in the limbic system, your amygdala, what I call the doubt center, remember actually calms down, while the CEO of your brain and for those of you who are paying attention, you know already that that's your prefrontal cortex, your wisdom center, your CEO it lights up.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So it's like your brain has a built-in trust switch.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: When you flip it on and you access your self-trust, you're accessing parts of yourself that doubt was blocking in your neural networks, and this lines up beautifully with Scripture's wisdom, proverbs 3, verses 5 and 6.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: You see, my friends, sometimes trusting yourself means trusting the power that created you, understanding that you're equipped with everything you need for this moment.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: That inside of you is a power that is greater than any power in the world.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: That has helped me so much during times when I have faced difficulties, like when I lost my dad in 2020 and I had to deal with the fact that he would no longer be physically here with me.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I had to find purposeful power and I had to dig deep inside of me so that I can learn to be without him and to access God inside of me, and it worked.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So think about it this way when you trust yourself, you're not just making a mental choice, you're activating all of the three power sources we've been discussing all week.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: One your physical power is recognized, your body knows what it needs, your mental power is affirmed, your experiences prepare you for the next experience, and your spiritual power reminds you that you're connected to something greater than yourself.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: So, as Jay-Z powerfully put it, I'm not afraid of dying.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid of not trying Bong bong.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: That's deep.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: That's what self-trust looks like in action.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Be more committed to your power than your fear, power than your fear.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So let's do what I call the trust activation practice, the tap.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Place one hand on your heart, go ahead, you can do it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I don't see you not driving or doing anything crazy.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Don't put it on your heart if you're driving and stuff.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: This is for if you're sitting around or you have a minute when you can Place your hand on your heart, and if you're in a place where you can do that, go ahead.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Take a deep breath with me and now think of three times.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You trusted yourself and it worked out.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was a small decision you had to make and it worked out.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was a huge life-changing thing you had to do and a risk, and it worked out.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was a gamble, something you had to trust that it was just going to work.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: A prayer that you threw up and it worked out.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I want you to feel those victories in your body worked out.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I want you to feel those victories in your body and now bring to mind something currently challenging you, something that you're facing right now.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: It could be an illness, it could be a financial problem, it could be a logistical, a legal issue something you're facing right now and it's challenging your self-trust as you breathe.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I want you to imagine channeling the same power that got you through victories in the past as coming to you in this moment.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Your body remembers how you trusted and your mind remembers what happened when you won.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Your spirit also remembers how to trust.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: But you've got to slow down and align your mind, body and spirit.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That's why the word says you've got to be still, sometimes In the stillness, in the breath, in the moment.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You're safe, god is with you, you're aligned body, mind and spirit and you can trust this moment right now.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: So today's power move as we close is what I'm calling the trust triplet Three times today.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I want you to pause and say I trust my body's wisdom, I trust my mind's experience and I trust the spirit for guidance.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Experience and I trust the spirit for guidance.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I trust my body's wisdom because the body's always telling you something.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Gotta listen to it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I trust my mind's experience Mistakes happen but they give you experience and I trust the Spirit for guidance.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is always inside of us, giving us an inkling, a gut feeling.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: There's something that you want to do and the Spirit will guide you.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: It's simple, I know, but it's powerful, and this week we're talking about purposeful power.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: So, yes, absolutely, because every time you affirm your trust in yourself, you are strengthening the neural pathways that I talked to you about the brain's CEO, you're quieting that fear center in the amygdala and you're making neural pathways that are going to be strong as you face uncertainty, the unknown or anything that might be coming against you today.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So remember, trusting yourself isn't about never having doubts.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: You got to feel the fear, like we talked about that book.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Right, feel the fear, but do it anyway.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: It's about trusting the power that's in you even when the doubts arise.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: So goliath is big and huge and yeah, you know, it's a giant and they should be scary, but guess what giants fall?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: And they can fall hard all right now.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So tomorrow, on finish strong friday, I want to see you there.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: We'll explore how to maintain this trust that we're building and how to move forward with our purposeful power to get over the finish line.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Until then, this is Dr Derek Sweet Be strong, be powerful, trust yourself.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Trust in God, trust your process.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Don't back down yourself.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Trust in God, trust your process, don't back down, and I'll see you either on Instagram, twitter, linkedin or YouTube.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Take care, my friend.
