Melissa Deally:

Welcome back to another episode of health hacks,

Melissa Deally:

and today I want to talk to you about your programming. And

Melissa Deally:

literally, you're not lazy. It's the fact that you're running

Melissa Deally:

stress as a coping mechanism, and that's making you feel

Melissa Deally:

unmotivated, overwhelmed or stuck. And it's literally your

Melissa Deally:

unconscious mind doing its job keeping you safe. You see, that

Melissa Deally:

is the number one job of your unconscious mind. And in our

Melissa Deally:

world today, when we have things coming at us, left, right and

Melissa Deally:

center, our devices and pings and people asking and demanding

Melissa Deally:

of our time. It's stressful, and there's so much going on, and

Melissa Deally:

our unconscious mind is like, okay, based on how you're

Melissa Deally:

breathing and what's going on in your body, you need some

Melissa Deally:

adrenaline and cortisol in order to get to safety, and it puts

Melissa Deally:

you even more into the fight or flight safe in his desire to get

Melissa Deally:

you to safety. However, you don't need to run away from a

Melissa Deally:

lion or tiger, and you're not getting to safety. There's just

Melissa Deally:

one stress stacking on top of another, on top of another, and

Melissa Deally:

before you know it, there's chronic stress, and that becomes

Melissa Deally:

your mind's go to pattern, and in that place, you're feeling

Melissa Deally:

stuck, you're feeling unmotivated, you're feeling

Melissa Deally:

exhausted because it is exhausting to be running on high

Melissa Deally:

stress. And here's the thing, we can shift your coping

Melissa Deally:

mechanisms. We can shift those strategies and literally rewire

Melissa Deally:

your unconscious mind so that you can break free of these

Melissa Deally:

patterns that are putting you into this state of anxiety, this

Melissa Deally:

state of stress, and instead, have you be able to feel and

Melissa Deally:

behave differently, and that is the power of our unconscious

Melissa Deally:

mind. Is just because it was wired a certain way in your zero

Melissa Deally:

to seven years of age doesn't mean it always has to be that

Melissa Deally:

way. We absolutely can rewire it, and we do that through a

Melissa Deally:

quantum breakthrough. And quantum life skills mastery

Melissa Deally:

training is where we teach you how to do quantum breakthroughs

Melissa Deally:

for others or come to the training, and during the

Melissa Deally:

training, you get not just one, you actually get five different

Melissa Deally:

breakthroughs that all work to rewire your neurology in order

Melissa Deally:

to allow you to just naturally step into the person that you

Melissa Deally:

were always meant to be, and you're no longer stuck and held

Melissa Deally:

back by your childhood programming. And these,

Melissa Deally:

literally are life skills the unconscious mind is the other

Melissa Deally:

90% of your mind. Why not learn the tools to work with it and

Melissa Deally:

have your conscious mind and your unconscious mind in rapport

Melissa Deally:

with each other. And when you come to quantum life skills

Melissa Deally:

mastery training, that's where we are literally teaching you

Melissa Deally:

how to fish for life. Instead of just giving you a fish with one

Melissa Deally:

breakthrough for yourself, we're giving you the tools to use for

Melissa Deally:

the rest of your life. Because you are not broken. You're just

Melissa Deally:

ready for an upgrade. And this won't be the only time in your

Melissa Deally:

life that you're ready for an upgrade. You might be ready for

Melissa Deally:

another one next year or five years from now, why not have the

Melissa Deally:

tools and the community that allow for you to continually

Melissa Deally:

upgrade yourself for the rest of your life? Because that's what

Melissa Deally:

we're here for. We're here to learn, to evolve, to upgrade

Melissa Deally:

ourselves, and there's no better place to do it than through the

Melissa Deally:

quantum life skills mastery school, through amplify impact

Melissa Deally:

Academy. I'll drop the links in the notes and message me if you

Melissa Deally:

want to learn more. Super excited to bring this to you,

Melissa Deally:

because this is a game changer.

About the Podcast

Don't Wait For Your Wake Up Call!
with Melissa Deally, Integrative Health Practitioner
As an Integrative Health Practitioner I have come to realize that we simply haven't been taught how to optimize our health, and that the average person has habits that are negatively impacting their health, due to this lack of knowledge, through no fault of their own. Public health and our school system simply don't teach us enough about nutrition, sleep, stress, gut health or how interconnected our bodies are! Modern life has us more sleep deprived, stressed out and the sickest ever, and I believe it is time to bring this education to you, so that you CAN be empowered in your health and you can then make the right choices for you and your family. The choices you make today impact your future 1 year, 5 years, 10 years + from now. It is never too early to start looking after your health, as Health is your TRUE wealth....without it what do you have?

I use this podcast to support my passion project - non-profit, Girls Matter (www.girlsmatter.ca), breaking the poverty cycle 1 girl, 1 family, 1 village at a time. The mission is to keep girls in school and stop teenage marriages, because school isn’t free in over 50 countries around the world and when parents have to make the difficult choices of feeding their kids or paying for school, food wins. And when the girls hit their teen years, they will often be married off so that someone else becomes responsible to feed them. Keeping girls in school instead creates a generational ripple effect, because an educated girl is more than twice as likely to ensure her own children are educated. Educating girls also grows the GDP of countries, when they get into the workforce. This is how together, we can change the world. Guests on this podcast are invited to donate to this important cause. Listeners are invited to donate as well. Learn more here in this short video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R3-xqzJLZW14om1PhFClcU_oRSZ8zgip/view?usp=share_link
