Most people don't understand happiness. And it robs them of feeling blissful every day. Happiness isn't tied to achievements, purchases, or other life events. In fact, thinking of happiness this way creates untold suffering. Why? Because pain and pleasure are two sides of the same coin. Your brain has certain homeostatic mechanisms that create pain if you're feeling too much pleasure and vice versa. Here's why that's good news: You have a baseline level of peace and well-being you can tap into regardless of what positive or negative external events happen.

We live in a backwards society full of illusions. We take people's word for things without experiencing it ourselves. We buy into their theories about addiction and depression, only to become more addicted and depressed. Why? Because we'd rather be right than happy and free.

As humans, we try to separate ourselves from animals and nature as much as possible. We believe that thinking makes us different from every other type of life on the planet. But this is a mistake which creates suffering. Why? Because we're not special because we can think. Thinking is a garnish and your body is the main course.

Humans trap themselves in the pursuit of becoming special. We learn new amazing skills, ditch our worst habits, and try our darndest to improve ourselves instead of living a mediocre life. But this actually makes us more miserable because we're never satisfied. Let's use addiction as an example. Freeing yourself from addiction won't instantly make you happier because your brain finds other ways to beat yourself up. Here's the truth: There's nothing you can do to make yourself more special than you are now. And that's a good thing — because it means you can rejoice about who you are right now. In this episode, you'll discover why you are special (even if you don't feel like it). Listen now and free yourself from the trap of "becoming special." Show highlights include: The counterintuitive way ignoring wealth, happiness, and fulfillment magnetizes them to you (0:40) Why striving for specialness and greatness robs you of abilities nobody else has but you (1:35) The insidious, but not malicious way Big Pharma creates more "diseases" than actually exist (6:24) The bizarre "Defend Your Diagnoses" trap that puts your suffering on steroids (11:39) The sneaky way your brain justifies your addictions and prevents you from leaving them in the past (14:15) Why learning new skills, buying new clothes, and mastering your emotions can make you miserable (19:30) If you want to radically change how much control you have over your emotions in as little as 20 days, you can go to https://thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and sign up for the Choose Your Own Emotion course.

Our society glorifies shortcuts and band-aids to heal deep-rooted suffering. But these shortcuts don't work. In fact, they prolong our suffering. Why? Because any affliction suffocating you—from depression and anxiety to addiction and trauma—is a byproduct of the real problem. This is why talk therapy doesn't work. It's like trying to season a rotten fish instead of finding a fresh one. That's the bad news. The good news? Your life is made of certain building blocks. And once you fix these building blocks, you'll amaze yourself by how quickly all your mental and emotional problems vanish—for good. In this episode, I reveal how to readjust your building blocks, so every passing day becomes the happiest of your life. Listen now.

Most people live with their suffering for so long, they don't even realize it's affecting them. This can come from trauma, past addictions, chronic pain, and even autoimmune diseases. But that doesn't mean that you still can't experience true freedom, peace, and joy. That's what Amber, a Freedom Specialist client, realized after going to a retreat and getting coaching. Amber battled chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and mental health problems for over 10 years. She tried everything from conventional medicine to alternative health approaches, and nothing worked. At one point doctors rated her heart inflammation at a 4 on a scale of 5 (where 5 means a heart attack can strike at any moment). In this episode, Amber shares how she's eliminated all her physical and mental problems to the shock of her doctors. And how following a "full body approach" can do the same for you, regardless of what you're struggling with. Listen now and take the first step towards achieving true freedom, health, and joy.

Most couples believe they need trust to build a healthy, long marriage. But trust doesn't create unity like paying attention does. Here's what I mean: When you pay better attention to your spouse, you can accept them for what they are.

By paying attention, you can build a marriage bonded by true unity and fully accept the other person for who they are. In this episode, Jasmine and I reveal simple strategies that saved our marriage after we destroyed our trust. And how you can build a stronger marriage despite any trust issues you may have.

If Jesus came back today, do you think you'd drop everything and follow him? How many other people do you think would do the same?

Chances are, you've prayed about or wished for something that you've had an opportunity to pursue. But you didn't because you would've had to sacrifice everything. I know it's scary because I've gone through the same battle. But what if that opportunity gave you a feeling of ecstasy that you couldn't find anywhere else? And what if you only had one opportunity to experience this? In this episode, you'll discover why dropping everything for a life-altering opportunity is frightening.

Religion helps many people overcome their struggles. But it also fills people with guilt, shame, and worthlessness which feeds their addictions. Why? Because religion is filled with stories about God that aren't true. Humans have misinterpreted these stories for as long as religion has been around. Here's the truth: God is nothing more than the ability to experience a divine state of being. You can tap into this divine state once you realize the history of God (even if you're not religious). And once you do, you can throw your addictions out the window. In this episode, I reveal how better understanding the history of God can free you from your addictions. And I give you a new way to view God (without losing your religion). Listen to the episode now and discover why God doesn't want you feeling ashamed and worthless.

Faith is a confusing term many people misunderstand. But it's the most powerful force in the universe (even if you're not religious).

There are three levels to processing emotion. The first level is feeling like it's happening to you. The second level is using your emotions as fuel. And the third level is seeing your negative emotions and creating a positive experience from them. Most people stay stuck in the first level forever. Which means, you're a victim to your emotions. While the second level is healthier, it can still trap you into some terrible habits and behaviors. Only the third level gives you a deep sense of freedom and control over your life and emotions. Here's the truth: You don't have to cope with your emotions or use them as a wicked motivation engine. Once you tap into the third level, you can leave all your anger, depression, and anxiety in the rearview mirror.

Pop culture throws around the word "love." There are several ideas attached to love, but they're all wrong. Here's why: Whether you're listening to a song about love or watching a Disney movie, these ideas imply that love comes from outside you. But that's impossible.

Practicing martial arts teaches you more about living a life full of happiness than any self-help book or support group ever could. Why? Because martial arts reveal how to use your environment and emotions to your advantage. Too many people blame other people and their circumstances for how they feel.

In our modern society, we put too much emphasis on our minds, thoughts, and feelings. The problem with this is your mind is just a fraction of your total experience of life. In fact, your whole body is a brain. And I can prove it. Pinch your finger right now and you'll experience pain signals shooting up to your brain. Yet, when it comes to emotional baggage, trauma, addictions, and other mental ailments, we forget about the body and hyperfocus on the mind.

But we forgot how to do it in our modern world. In this episode, I'm revealing how a body-based approach to happiness, health, and well-being is more effective than any therapist could hope to be.
