NOTES & BASIC IDEAS
The cycle of think-feel-choose is what shapes your identity
Thoughts are like trees - with new experiences and memories they expand and grow
There is no normal brain, and the whole mental health movement is focused on diagnosing “illnesses” without considering each individual story
The large waves out at sea are delta waves
Waves closer to the beach not as big as delta are theta waves (unconscious mind)
Waves closer to the beach not as big as theta are alpha waves
Waves closer than alpha with the white crest are high beta waves
The little ripple onto the beach is gamma waves
Gamma and beta are most associated with consciousness
Alpha allows you to access deep-sea waves while being aware of shallow waves
Mind management ("thought autopsy") - 1) messy write out thoughts, 2) analyze thoughts for patterns, 3) choose action based on patterns
It takes about 3 weeks to build a long-term memory (a "tree" with information and emotions)
It takes about 9 weeks to turn long-term memory into usable memory (a habit)
It takes at least 2 to 3 months to change your identity
When the identity of your deep mind starts changing, it may be months before you see or feel it happening
With emotionally charged mental health work (trauma, identity, etc) spending only 7-30 minutes a day is best
Thoughts are physical things that occupy mental real estate like a house occupies land
Change can occur soon with the right work, but it takes months for the proteins to stabilize in the brain
Brilliant thanks for notes, very clear (UK)
Thanks!!
Excellent notes thank you.
Thank you for this!
Thank you! That was so kind and helpful!!
Yessss!!! The tree is an actual structure. Dr. Leaf, you are wonderful. I have MS, that went undiagnosed for way too many years. I experienced what they thought was TMI in the 1970's, (yes I am older than dirt). I did not have the choice to not get back my functioning, to some extent, being the mother of two small children. I told my doctors I did not believe that I could not get better. I am sure they had a good laugh at me after I left. I did not care, but they lost my confidence right then and there. I knew I was on my own, and I did a damn good job of moving on, rebuilding my tree, many times over, and I only wish I could tell them now what I have done with my life, in spite of their not believing that I would ever even walk again, be able to learn again, etc. You are my hero, Dr. Leaf.
Dr. Leaf’s descriptions of how habits and memories are dynamically formed and reformed makes such a difference to me. Knowing that depression and other toxic feelings are natural and that we can physically change it is a game changer for me.
HOPE. She said people died from lack of hope. Sad truth.
Mindblowing. I felt the same
@@muslimahsharing4761lack of love.
This women is brilliant, especially in articulating how the mind works and how to manipulate and change it. She speaks really quickly, but it’s great that she was able to pack in so much information 👌
Set the playback speed at .75 x can make her talking speed slow down to normal speed.
@@katherinecalacday2620 oh wow! I have listened to her for years and never even thought of changing to playback speed! Wow Thank you! 😊
@@katherinecalacday2620 Thank you so much! I love her but she speaks too fast for me!!
@@divinebeginnings3741her brain works faster than her mouth.
I was sooo happy to see Dr Leaf on your program! I was introduced to her years ago and read her books. A Real Pioneer in Brain Plasticity.
Tom's channel is immensely valueable
I watched the interview of Dr. Leaf by Lewis Howes, yesterday, and then this one today. Yesterday was the first time I ever heard about her. I found her brilliant, and understood lots of how my mind works, and how it differs from the brain. Absolutely incredible. Kudos to Lewis Howes as an interviewer, whose style was extremely humble, with brilliant open ended questions, and without push backs, "editing", "teaching", "reinterpretations" whatsover, allowing her to completely shine on her own.
This woman is such a gift to the world. The insights she has shared through all her books have literally changed the world. I’ve helped several friends completely turn around how they look at their mind.
That said. Can we please just get her skin care protocol. Because my girl is glowing and I KNOW it’s not just from managing her mind. 🤣
Lol...its the "I know it's not just from managing her mind" 😄😆
She TRULY is a gift!!
Tom, you're very helpful with your interruptions and questions because here, the message delivery is like a hurricane. Thank you!
agreed! I l am SO interested in the information that Dr. Leaf is sharing, but my goodness this is painful to listen to. Thank good ness for Tom, but there could have been a lot more interruptions to make this more digestible. I'd love to see a follow up episode where they discuss what she's saying, and break it down.
Oh my god she is so right! Reflection takes time, when I asked myself why I act the way I act, etc. The answer took so long to come. It was more than 63 days though.
I find it hilarious when videos on topics like this are uploaded. Tom really ain't playing about living forever dawg 🤣🤣💀
She has a lovely smile btw. I'm glad you brought her on.
This woman is brilliant, thank you for allowing her a platform to share her knowledge!!!!💗
As a PhD in Pharmacy candidate & molecular biologist, I define identity as a combination of your micro habits & experiences that shaped your thoughts and choices in life plus a combination of how your genes within your cells process genetic information which is very unique from each other. I believe in neuroplasticity which is a big factor why we are capable of learning new skills and habits which shape our identitywhich is also plastic wherein we can change it the way we want it by changing our mindset.
Since you are an educated professional can I ask a possibly dumb question? Is there any hope for stem cells to be used to renew brain cells from a tbi? Peptides?
Yess!! I've been hoping you would interview Mrs Leaf!! Thank you for this
This was amazing. I learned so much from her and now I can’t wait to read her book. Damn! She has so much information compact, she sounded like she jus wanted to get them out all at once. Love her ❤️💯
exactly, same here. Everyone should watch this.
On top of being so knowledgeable shes a good listerner!!!
I had to slow her voice speed down to .75. So grateful for this feature.
Yes i agree. And to think, lots of people speed her up! Lol
☺ yes! I'll try that. Good idea!
Tom this is what's great about your interviews...not only do you ask the right questions, but you distill what your guests sometimes have difficulty explaining in lay terms. And you give contexf
I can sit for hours, sitting & thinking. I love it!
Excellent interview!
Dr Leaf reminds me of the process I go through in Buddhist meditation: aware of your thoughts and observe the thoughts following it until it’s gone, no judgment or trying to get rid of it. But the same thoughts are always there in the next meditation.
So, I’ll try this process of 5 steps to actively manage and change my mind. She is good, talking a bit fast but I understand her quite well.
Wow there have been so many reverse aging interviews! Tom are you going to make a complitation of the highlights of them like some of the other podcast interviews?
I got better understanding of the concepts by this interview than by her book. Tom is very good with providing structure.
This is so fascinating! It makes me concerned that so many younger generations are barely required to physically write on paper with the ability to type or or just dictate most school work. We’re on our way to people signing their name with an X.
All men's miseries come from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone
- Blaise Pascal
Try a darkroom...😂
@Dave B even this phrase is said out of knowledge ...
No, all miseries are 1)due to our Ego 2) due to our self centred mind and reluctance to keep our mind open to others' ideas. 3)being judgemental and critical of everything. If you think that world is bad and sit in a room with all the windows closed,you are the one deprived of out side light and beauty including various human behaviours. To keep away our meseries ,we have to come out in the nature and expose ourselves to beauty of the world.
And mine and I'm female
Tom, please invite her again in near future. Thank you
Absolutely amazing! It is great to know the science behind all the thought process work we have been encouraged to do by the many self help gurus. I did have to listen to this many times and take notes. She obviously felt rushed and I feel she has more to offer. I ordered the book. Thank you Tom. You are my absolute favorite interviewer. Love your style and your content.
Incredibly interesting - Tom coming up trumps with top content as ever
Wow she loaded up the show in one go. Thanks for having her on Tom, I really miss the production qualities you had of your shows and the real injections of both host and guest. Hope sometime In the future you bring back that format with all things considered. Have a great day Tom!
Can’t believe Dr. Caroline Leaf is on Impact Theory!!! How awesome. I’ve seen her speak live and have her book. Great choice Tom.
I’m so agree with Dr. Leaf! We are all individual cases of our own measure!!! And there is no normal!! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much for the amazing interview with Dr. Leaf. I have benefited so much.
Wow Tom, this is awesome: telling us how all that habit building actually takes root in the brain (and can dissipate if you quit too soon). Practical magic.
That was interesting , thank you so much Tom 🙏!! Have a blessed day!!
This interview was INCREDIBLE. THANK YOU!!
I smile with joy after watching the whole video. Amazing & valuable. Thank you Tom & Dr. Leaf. More power to both of you! Cheers! 🥂💖🙂
Recognizing the individual. Measuring one against oneself.
Thank you for this breakdown.
Bravo to the interviewer. I’ve been a follower and must say he has improved to a brilliant host. Excellent questions! And no foul language so perfect for my teen too. 🙏
Tom your questions are great
But: please let her finish talking completely, even you think people can't understand that or you wanna expand that...
And Thanks a lot, Dr. Caroline... Best informations i could have...
This is not a TED talk he did a great job summarizing what she is saying and moving on to the next part otherwise she looks like she would just go on and on and on and on and on
Wow...in your words F******G Awesome!!..Thank you and I pray for all the happiness and success to Both.
amen to that
Love it Tom. Thank you for your efforts to share these life giving people. And thank you Dr Caroline Leaf. Love you.
@Tom, you are not only a learner, you are a mediator for us
She does such a great job of explaining!! I noticed how her 5 steps are the very steps that The Work of Byron Katie takes you through. I have changed my brain quickly by doing The Work and then to fulfill Dr. Leaf's step 5, I continue doing Inquiry each day. I have completely rewired my brain to be happy, healthy and much, much younger as a result of doing The Work for a few months.
LOVE..Oh my Goodness🙏💗 Thank you both, I could've listened to this topic all day! Book pre-ordered✔ 🤗💕
I was wishing to happen this podcast from the last year , I love Carolines speede information flow ,
thank you Tom
Love this lady her work is changing my life!
This content really spoke to me. Thanks Dr for sharing your ideas and experience.
This is not really about aging but about learning and changing your thought process. Great scientific info we can all use to change habits, improve our mental health, etc.!!
Great interview! I love it! She puts such complex matter down in a way that it’s easy to follow. Usually I would increase the speed of a video with this one I did slow it down at some points.
In my opinion, fast speaking people are advance thinkers. In my humble way, I can keep up with her. I tend to get mentally disconnected & distracted with slow speaking people.
She is so much eager to spit out all she knows.. and lovely accent 😊
This was awesome. I see it as the science behind Bob Proctor thinking into results program. Thank you for this episode.
The mind will either build you or fail you.Have you ever wondered why what you think is always your result? Its the type of mindset..
Exactly
I totally get you Tom, and that’s why I think you ask great questions bc you’re a learner and you’re trying to help other people learn too.
Yes He one of the Greatest students of Life. He living in his Purpose that’s for sure. The man is Amazing 🥰 Some Students Become Excellent Teachers I think he shifted softly along time ago. Great Teacher 👍🏼
I love loved loved this interview!!! Thank you!!! Can’t wait to get her books!!
holy shit! this lady and her ideas are amazing!
A wonderful interview!! Wonderful information! Thank you!
Love the analogies! Thank you Dr.Leaf and Thank you Tom!
Dr. Caroline Leaf has her own UA-cam channel , check her out. I’ve read all her books , she’s brilliant!
Does she say in her channel that she’s telling everyone that she’s a neuroscientist when she really isn’t ???? Check it out.
When I first heard her, I was completely taken over but a friend of mine stated that someone who lies about her credentials, isn’t a trustworthy person.
@@indiracamotim2858 sadly true.... she is not. She has not have medical background. Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology.
That is the reason that people call her "Dr."...
Amazing interview and content! Good job bro 👍🏼
One of my favourite 😍❤️! I love it!!! So so so good. Very informative and I learnt loads ❤️🥰😊
Love Dr Caroline Leaf!! She Is Brilliant!!!
Tom you are my hero! from so self diminished to so brilliant. so glad you told us.
Update guys! Completed reading another book. Book count: 276 :)
bnsgokugreat Good for you!! 🤓📚How do you find the time?? I have books stacked up all around me!! Loll, I think I’ll pick one up for a few minutes before I get out of bed and get going-this is the only time I’m still until it’s time to sleep again-And then I’m too sleepy to read!! 😵 Thanks for the inspiration~sort of!👍🏼😎
I looked at your channel and subscribed (I guess that’s what you were after :) You follow many of the same people I do-most of my channel is private, you can’t see my lists... But may I suggest Alan Watts to you... 🌟🔥🌟!!
Diane Ra Hey!!! Thanks. I have been updating this book count here before I posted videos. I update here because it is my accountability partner for book reading. Please do ask any questions you have regarding book reading. I would love to assist 😊
The most important book to read is that which is your experiences, through meditation. It is from this book that we gain insights, draw wisdom and attain clarity.
Mike Q Yup! Self-reflection is always the best book. 😊😊😊 But, reading books made me to gain this wisdom 😊😊😊
any time she says "it's like" you can bet its gonna be analogy none of relate to. appreciate Tom asking so many question to pull actionable steps out. great video.
🦋that’s why your mind is power - that’s why surrounding yourself with positivity is crucial
I experienced depression and anxiety and during that time, I define it as a mental illness because it is what is taught by society but few months ago I start defining it as a phenomenon wherein our brain gives us a signal to gradually change our mindset, micro-habits, choices and goals because the old ones do not serve your purpose in relation to the current situation. With the fast changing world due to growth in technology, human as we are naturally & scientifically will experience this phenomenon because we need to be open to change to cope up with how the modern world works today. We are living in the future and many will experience mental rebooting and can be in a form of depressionand anxiety therefore we need to adapt to it through mindful living. Choose what information you really need and not just ingest whatever the artificial intelligence through smart phones are suggesting you. As humans, we have the responsibility to educate ourselves & others on how to balance the energy between human intelligence and artificial intelligence.
THAT. is a great way of looking at what you went through. My grown son has slipped into a neuro-psychosis. I hope he can find his way out. Not one psychiatrist seems to be able to help him. He needs long term care because he can’t formulate or follow a thought. I’m scared, and I don’t know where to get help in Michigan with his awful Medicaid!
I just took a screenshot of your comment. I’m going to show my son and also keep it for myself. I admire your ability to have pulled yourself out of that. 🙏💫
@@Tinyteacher1111 I hope and pray that you and your son can get through what you are facing right now. As a mother, I can imagine your pain seeing your son going through it. Believe that all will be well. Stay safe, healthy and happy!
I hope this message will help your son. No one can help him best but himself and the love of people around him. Keep him feel loved and listen to him when he needs some help. He can get through this. Please email me at journeywithdonah@gmail.com. I would love to chat with you and share each others journey.
I have a new video upload today. It is about a message for my son. Maybe it is the same message you want to tell your son and maybe it can help him.
I love her! Great interview with plenty of information! i noticed Tom Cutting abit into it while she was talking! But then a realized that In my experience with this interview it was sort of a break to reflect on the Information that she's giving! being that she talks fast! My mind unconsciously shut off without me know but the "breaks" brought me back on track! saying this again! one of the best people you have had on the show for me.
Happy to see she’s finally on your show
This lady is fantastic. Loved it.
Listening to her itself created new network of branches of feeling , choosing and developing thoughtful tree. Thanks for this so very interesting post.
This is so brilliant - thankyou to both of you - Dr Caroline Leaf and Tom Bilyeu
She's phenomenal..Thank you Dr 🍃 Leaf..
You may be Salieri of science but you are a Mozart of non- fiction interviews. Love the sliding table of contents as well. So useful. I think: I can only listen to Dr. Leaf 3 minutes at a time. I feel: her delivery is a constant rapid pace which is tiring to listen to. But I CHOOSE: to try to gain something from this interview, so i repeated sections and kept an open mind that i could get something of value from this. Thought, felt, chose. Haven't decided whether I have gotten anything of value yet. Seems like obvious observations so far. But will start mind mgmt section later & resume this interview later.
Just discovered your channel through after seeing this guest being interviewed elsewhere and wanting to hear more.
New subscriber 👍
Great content I'd love for you to have her back on your program!
Amazing woman. Really enjoyed this but will have to watch it again just to make sure I have all the info. 👍
Changes over time, love it 💕
South Africa represent !!!!! 🇿🇦
Hi from South Africa 💛✊
Almost everything and specifically awareness is age old concepts of yoga and Hinduism - ‘Who Am I’ is a huge concept in yogic practices. Just westernized here. Alan Singer explains it really well in the book - the untethered soul.
She is truly brilliant, but between her accent and her rapid fire delivery, it was almost exhausting trying to listen to her; it practically gave me a headache! Someone she tell her that she absolutely should slow down...
This is so fascinating, thank you so much.
You take very fast doc ..thanks for all the knowledge and learning..
She is wonderful with so much pure wisdom and beauty just reflecting strongly from her being.
God bless u both
Love this topic so much. Really interesting
LOVE THIS!!!! Thankyou for interviewing Dr.Caroline Leaf 🧡❤💜💚💙💛
OMG !! a BRILLIANT MIND !! :) ..Thank you soooo much , it was extremely interesting, powerful and useful information to bring into our life .. I really appreciated that you can share this with all of us .. Thank you and Tom you are incredible !! all your questions are so perfect ! as it is exactly what we desire to ask as well :) Thank you both ..Namaste !!
Phenomenal episode, loved it 👍👍👍
Nice video, thanks
This is so brilliant!
Total confirmation of what I have Instinctively been doing; The Meditation, Journaling, dealing learning how to increase my understanding. "As a man thinks in his heart so is he. Proverbs chapter 23 verse 7. Thanks for sharing and educating everyone view. January 17, 2021
I love the speed at wish she talks and the authority she bares.
Wowwww. I loved the explanation of the conscience and unconscience mind with sea abd waves. Very interesting. 😊
I loved that, too! It made so much sense, and it’s very fascinating!
Such a good interview- sleep, is extremely important. Meditation- imperative. Tom- more insight and content on meditation
I love listening to her.
I always found it hard to listen to lectures by women because they're tone changes so much, but Dr. Caroline Leaf is so sweet and easy to listen to.
My mum would love this 🙏🏿💯
My Mum too
Fantastic content. Wholly her neurones are firing super quick and she talks just as fast. Gave my grey-matter a work out trying to keep up. Thanks for sharing such life-changing content.
Yeah, I love Dr. Leaf, I just wish she would slow her pace a little bit. It made it hard to keep up.
Aware
Reflect
Write
Recheck and redesign
Act of reach.
Can any one tell me how reflect and aware are different. When I am aware I am automatically reflecting rt? Or is it breaking your awareness into prices and analyzing each one.?
Awarness is physical and emotional. Im feeling agitated my palms are sweaty im uncomfortable, etc. Reflections is why amd i feeling this way why is it causing it? Is it external or internal stimuli and is it rooted in past or present only or both. Hope that helps and thanxs for writing the points out. I listened to the whole thing but needed a synapsis of it.
@@sadafshaukatali9618 thank you Mr. Ali
Thank you for this amazing video. Since I was 13 years old I write a diary/journal/free writing and I value writing on a paper . I remember also making a vision board when I was 12 years old onwhat I want I want to happen in my life at age 30 and it all happened. My diary/journaling reminds me always of my goal. After a my depression and anxiety, I create a new vision board which I want to reach for another 20 years. Now I understand the scientific explanation of how writing /journaling really helps.
Caroline thank you for the info. 30:41 Learning is the word! I say" Life is a never ending learning experience"!!!!!!
Great topic just from the kick start about identity. I am from Barcelona, Spain, but i have always been more comfortable around foreigners. I was sent to London and Dublin every summer with a host family to learn English since i was 15 years old. Back home, i would help foreigners getting lost in the city so i could practise English (at that time not so many people spoke English in my city). I always had foreign friends and then travelled for a year to Taiwan when i fell in love with Asia so after several years my company transferred me to Shanghai where i have been happily living for soon 6 years. When i go to Spain everybody asks me when i will go back for good, but i dont see myself going back ever. I am so happy being constantly out of my cmfort zone here. In china everything is so different and i have to keep so open minded and learning so many new skills to adapt and become tolerant. I do not feel i have roots in Spain which is crazy for some people because i am Spanish, but even when i count in my mind, i count in English and I dream in English. When im back home everybody thinks im a foreigner for my strange accent and because im pretty fair skin...anyways, just in Xmas i got a birth chart as a gift and guess what it said: she is happy living abroad. It stroke me. I do feel Shanghai is my home and despite i adore Barcelona and my family is there, i cannot see myself leaving Chins. Maybe my ancestors were Asian 😜
I’ve met many fair Spaniards. Glad you feel International. Am not a Spaniard but In Spain or Mediterranean countries no matter the language I feel at home. So I completely understand you.
Elizabeth Wilk fortunately, we are all becoming more international and interacting way more with other cultures which is great and enriching. The mediterranean countries are so beautiful and they have great food 🤣 i love italy and portugal and of course spain but not for living, perfect for holiday 🥰
We are immortal. Make greatness in this world.
*you've helped make sense of so many little broken parts of me that I can't thank you enough, I adore this channel* 💕💕
I absolutely love this episode!! DR. LEAF YOU DID AGAIN! God Bless you 🙏🏽. A sister in Christ serving through knowledge. I myself on a path to neuro-psychology for my Doctoral degree. Dr. LEAF YOU INSPIRE ME!! Tom you are the MAN!!
Thank you.
You are NOT broken, you haven't learned Yet ;) repeat 7 times per day. I'm not broken I just have not learned enough yet!
Tom... I really enjoy how you drive the conversations and the questions you come up with. Proof is, guest often tell you that you ask God questions.
Thank you Tom!!!
Excellent! Great channel
