15. Hal Elrod - Stressed Out or Blissed Out - Your Choice

•

“I live my life by the five-minute rule. When things go wrong it’s OK to be negative - but not for more than five minutes.”

 

Hal Elrod needs no introduction.

 

As the author of the best-selling book, The Miracle Morning, Hal is best known for his six-part SAVERS morning routine that has changed lives and is practiced by over 500,000 people across the world.

 

It’s a book that has influenced me hugely - both personally and also as I was building JavaPresse and crafting our message. I am hugely grateful for this man and his work.

 

For me, Hal is a true inspiration and a rock star (as you’ll see in this week’s episode). This is a man who embraces life fully and has created a mindset to feel joy in every moment. And in this podcast he shares countless knowledge bombs that will help you feel happier and more fulfilled every day of your life. 

 

“Every negative emotion that you have ever felt in your life or could ever feel is self-created. And it is self-created by a resistance to our reality.” 

 

So listen in to discover how beating death not once, but TWICE helped Hal create a philosophy of positivity, gratitude, and acceptance.

 

I’m confident his view on the world will inspire you to let go of the things you can’t control, decide to make the most of every moment, and create a morning ritual that will take your enjoyment of your coffee to the next level.

 

What will your biggest takeaway be?

 

“Change what you can change, accept what you can’t.”

 

Some questions I ask:

 

  • What was your mindset after the accident that left you in a coma unable to walk - possibly never again. (9:08)
  • The question Hal asks YOU that holds the potential to make a significant impact on your life. (12:25)
  • What are some things that people can do everyday to nurture the muscle of acceptance so they can draw on it at will? (17:05)
  • How do you think the universe responds to affirmations and what is your take on this practice? (26:18)
  • What are your thoughts on gratitude and how does this practice contribute to the mindset you've created for yourself and the world? (30:52)
  • What are some of your daily non-negotiables? (33:21)
  • You’re so rooted in your why and you’ve achieved and overcome so much in your life. How do you stay grounded in your why despite everything that’s going on? (42:50)

 

In this episode, you will hear about:

 

  • The most valuable lesson that Hal ever learned in his life. (9:52)
  • How the five-minute rule helped Hal choose how to feel during the most difficult time n his life - and why it was an attitude that helped him walk again. (11:33)
  • The key to being free from emotional pain. (13:35)
  • The three word mantra and sense check that Hal uses to halt emotional pain when faced with a situation he can’t control. (16:00)
  • Why affirmations are one of the six principles of The Miracle Morning and the four-part process Hal practices to ensure affirmations deliver results. (19:06)
  • Hal’s number one non-negotiable - regardless of where he is in the world. (33:44)
  • Why failure to achieve a goal can be more valuable than hitting the goal you set. (27:27)
  • Rear view mirror syndrome and how it can keep you locked in a box. (30:20)
  • A quick overview of the six practices of The Miracle Morning. (35:14)
  • The best bang for your buck when it comes to visualization. (38:01)
  • Why Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad fame) believes The Miracle Morning is so powerful. (40:40)

 

How to contact Hal

 

And of course you can grab a copy of The Miracle Morning book from Amazon.

  • 124. 124. Raj Jana: What If Nothing in Your Life Is Random? How to Decode Your Soul's Purpose (Repost)

    25:25||Season 2, Ep. 124
    What if every heartbreak, every failure, every person who showed up and walked away — was actually pointing you toward your purpose?Most of us move through life reacting to what happens — calling it bad luck, calling it unfair, calling it "just the way things are." But what if you zoomed out far enough to see the pattern? The same type of relationship that keeps showing up. The same wall you keep hitting at work. The same feeling that follows you no matter how much you try to outrun it.What if none of it was random — and all of it was trying to teach you something?In this episode, Raj introduces a simple but powerful idea: your life has a purpose, and that purpose is hidden inside the very experiences you wish never happened. He breaks it down into two layers — the lessons you're here to heal from and the life you're here to step into — and explains why most people stay stuck in the first layer without ever realizing there's a second one waiting for them.What You'll Discover:Why the same painful patterns keep repeating in your life — and what they're actually trying to show you about your deeper purposeThe difference between the wounds you're here to heal and the life you're here to build — and why understanding both is the key to finally moving forwardWhy "just the way I am" is the most expensive belief you'll ever carry — and the mindset shift that puts your life back in your handsThe moment Raj realized that pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice — and the simple distinction that changed everythingHow to use your past as a map — a reflection practice that helps you connect the dots and see the deeper intelligence behind what you've been throughWhy trusting yourself enough to try something new — even without a guarantee — is the real work most personal growth skips overThe reason your life might feel like it's falling apart right now — and why that breakdown could be the setup for the version of you that's trying to emergeHow to stop waiting for permission, clarity, or the "right time" and start walking toward the life that's been calling you all alongIf you've ever felt like there has to be more to life than what you're experiencing — like there's a reason behind the struggle that you just can't see yet — this episode will help you see it.

    52:52||Season 2, Ep. 123
    What if the moments you most want to escape are the exact moments that are rewiring you?Most of us were taught to fix, push through, or numb the hard stuff. When conflict hits a relationship, when a business deal falls apart, when fear grips your chest — we run. We reach for the phone, the distraction, the solution. But what if the single most transformative thing you could do in those moments is the one thing nobody taught you: just be in it?In this raw and deeply personal monthly reflection, Raj sits down with his close friend Nasya Miller in Nosara, Costa Rica to unpack a month that included getting engaged, navigating business pivots, sitting in emotional turbulence with his partner, and discovering a weekly practice that changed the way he digests life. This isn't theory — it's wisdom from the trenches of building a business, deepening love, and learning how to die well so you can actually live.What You'll Discover:Why a neuroscientist says the moment you're most triggered is the exact moment you're most neuroplastic — and how to use that to rewire yourself in real timeThe ancient weekly practice that gave Raj a rhythm of rest and reflection he didn't know he was missing — and how it accelerated his integrationWhat it felt like to close "a thousand timelines" by getting on one knee — and why that single choice rearranged everythingThe difference between knowing something is a gift and actually feeling it as one — and what shifts when that gap finally closesWhy your triggers aren't your partner's fault, and the specific reframe that moves you from blame to liberation in secondsHow to access the intuitive guidance of your future self — the father, the leader, the 86-year-old version of you who's already been through thisThe surprising question a mentor gave Raj that reoriented his entire relationship with uncertainty: "What miracles are about to arrive in my life today?"Why getting better at "dying" — letting old identities, plans, and beliefs dissolve — is the single most important skill for anyone navigating changeIf you're in a season of uncertainty, transition, or emotional intensity and you're wondering how to stay rooted in playfulness, hope, and trust while everything shifts around you — this episode is your permission slip to stop fixing and start feeling.

    What if miracles aren't mystical, they're scientific?Dr. Larry Farwell is a Harvard-trained neuroscientist selected by TIME Magazine to the TIME 100 Top Innovators of the Century—"the Picassos or Einsteins of the 21st Century." The son of a Manhattan Project physicist, he has advised President George W. Bush on counter-terrorism, freed innocent people from prison using brain fingerprinting technology, and has worked with the FBI and CIA worldwide. Now he's devoted his life to answering one question: Can we scientifically prove that consciousness creates reality?The answer changed everything he thought he knew about human potential.In this episode, Dr. Larry shares the laboratory experiments that proved humans can shift "impossible" probability distributions using consciousness alone—and how you can apply these same principles to create miraculous outcomes in your own life.What You'll Discover:Why quantum physics proves your "impossible" dreams are actually scientifically possibleThe near-death experience that revealed the secret mechanics of manifestationWhat "murmur moments" are and how your brain opens for transformation during triggersThe counterintuitive reason why trying harder keeps you stuck on the surfaceHow to use the "Alien Robot Report" to defuse any emotional trigger in secondsThe three questions that instantly reveal whether a situation actually threatens youWhy clarity of feeling matters more than specificity of outcome when manifestingThe simple daily practice Dr. Larry uses to stay grounded amid chaos and dangerYour Invitation:You already possess the same conscious unified field that creates galaxies. The question isn't whether you can create miracles—it's whether you'll learn how.Know yourself. Be yourself. Love yourself.Science says you're more powerful than you've ever imagined.

  • 120. 120. Brandon Bozarth: How Your Relationships Are Either Healing or Destroying Your Health (German New Medicine Explained)

    01:02:07||Season 2, Ep. 120
    What if everything you've been told about disease is wrong?What if your chronic symptoms aren't caused by bad genes, toxins, or bad luck—but by unresolved conflict in your relationships?In this paradigm-shifting episode, Raj sits down with Brandon Bozarth, a practitioner of German New Medicine and biological relating, to explore the revolutionary discovery that ALL disease begins with a "conflict shock"—and that your relationships are either healing you or making you sick.What You'll Learn:What is German New Medicine, and why did Dr. Hamer's personal tragedy lead to a discovery that challenges everything Western medicine believes about disease?How does a single shocking moment create a cascade of physical symptoms—and why does your brain not know the difference between real danger and perceived threat?What are the two phases every illness goes through, and why are your symptoms actually signs of healing, not attack?How do your childhood experiences literally shape the diseases you'll face as an adult?Why do men and women experience completely different "territory conflicts"—and how does living outside your biological design create chronic illness?What happens hormonally when a man loses his "maleness" through conflict shock, and how does this show up in modern relationships?How can understanding your partner's biology prevent the conflict shocks that lead to depression, infertility, and autoimmune conditions?What's the exact path to resolving a conflict so deeply that the original trigger can never affect you again?Here's the truth: Your body isn't broken. It's adapting. Every symptom is a message, and your relationships hold the key to decoding it.If you're tired of chasing supplements, doctors, and diagnoses that never quite work—this episode offers something different: a framework for understanding WHY your body does what it does, and the profound healing possible when you finally address the root.Your healing might be one relationship shift away.🎧 Listen now.Connect with Raj:Liber8: www.liber8.health/programNewsletter – Sign up here: https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaConnect with Brandon:German New Medicine School: https://www.brandonbozarth.com/bioskoolInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandon.bozarth/Legal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

    What if the thing you've been running from your entire life is the exact doorway to your freedom?Dr. Zach Bush is a triple board-certified physician who spent 17 years in academic medicine—running ICUs, bone marrow transplant units, and managing end-stage disease—before discovering that the root of nearly all illness traces back to one thing: stuck emotions.

You are an infinite soul in a finite body, which means you signed up for constant loss—and constant falling in love. The sunsets. The people. The moments.
