Aaron McCormick was raised in poverty on the south side of Chicago by a single mother with no education and a father who was likely an undiagnosed bipolar schizophrenic. Tightly controlled by an extreme fundamentalist religion that allowed no personal freedom, Aaron ultimately defied expectations of failure. In his early twenties, despite being a minority with no college degree Aaron became a leading seven-figure-earning corporate sales executive and entrepreneur who earned an MBA. How he managed to rise above his difficult beginnings is unveiled in his book Unbounded – Journey to Your Within where he shares suggestions with the reader for following an inner path to an unbounded life.
Highlights

I ask Aaron what he thinks it was that allowed him to rise above his beginnings.
People are born with certain gifts. The task is to have the gifts identified and nurtured.
Problem-solving skills come from being more introspective and asking the why question.
Aaron talks about how to find your Why.
What you’ve gone through is what has led you to where you are. Appreciate your journey.
Current events are emotionally triggering, causing fear and anxiety. Because a lot of distractions have been removed, we get to look within and deal with our own darkness and get beyond the fear.
Aaron talks about how humanity’s group darkness of the soul will lead to positive changes.
Aaron shares how people can get past money fears.
I ask Aaron if he thinks we are going to experience real change regarding the treatment of minorities.
Growing up, Aaron did not have anger about how blacks were treated. He sees that if you expect to be treated unfairly, you will be.
Loving yourself as you are allows you to assume others will also treat you well.
Everything about you is exactly as it should be.

In today’s episode, I talk about why, if you want to move forward, it’s important to create space for you to grow and expand as a person and in business. I share the process I’ve been going through and make some suggestions.
Highlights

I share about the process I have been going through and how wonderful it feels.
Feels like I’m moving into something new.
Now, when I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep, instead of processing feelings, I’m having wonderful memories from childhood.
To let go so you can experience freedom, you have to take action internally and externally so you can learn to feel free.
What are the beliefs that you are holding on to such as success requires that you work hard?
Changing the software I’ve been using for my marketing is helping me see my business from a new point of view.
The Synchronicity Marketing Method is where you listen to your intuition and have the faith that everything you need will show up.
I’ve also been letting go of behavior that hasn’t been serving me, such as making impulsive decisions.
Making big changes takes a major commitment to yourself.
No matter how much you let go, there’s always more.
Part of letting go is not having to know what comes next.
Our lives are just a series of choices.
When you do something that stretches you, and you have to let go of the fear.
Do something that you think you can’t do.

How Thoughts Become Things – The movie

I read an article this week in Neuroscience News about how Repetitive Negative Thinking (RNT) can lead to cognitive decline and the buildup of proteins associated with Alzheimer’s. In this episode, I talk about how to eliminate negative self-talk and thinking with brain training in order to prevent loss of cognitive function.

Highlights

A lot of physical and mental problems that come with aging can be prevented.
Although the study cited in Neuroscience News was done with people 55 and older, no matter what your age, it’s important to prevent problems as you age.
Negative thinking patterns are habits. I talk about how they start as protective measures and because the way brains are wired.
Hypervigilance is a common result of difficult childhood experiences.
The trick is to recognize your patterns and make a commitment to changing them.
Start by recognizing when you use the word should. Then take a deep breath and use a positive statement such as You’re doing fine.
Lead with love.
You can create a benevolent mother or father in your mind who reparents you.
What if what we imagine is going to happen is what is going to happen.
Meditation can help you recognize what’s going on in your mind.
The more positive my thinking becomes, the more positive things happen for me.
If you stop being angry, that doesn’t mean you have to stop working for positive
sociental change.
Anger can be transmuted into a positive force.
