Ciao!
How're you doing?
We hope this letter finds you in a moment of ease. Are you ready for a funny/not-so-funny story?
Once upon a time...
Someone we know came home from the grocery store and set about unpacking the various items from their bags. The next morning she entered the kitchen and gasped!
All of the fish in their beautiful, large saltwater tank, were dead.
Why?
Well...
She had accidentally stowed the orange juice concentrate in the cabinet above the tank, instead of in the freezer. And the juice that dripped down changed the acidity of the tank, and killed the very expensive inhabitants of that tank.
Why (on Earth??) would someone stow frozen orange juice in the cabinet?
Because when humans do life from a Survival State we do really stupid things that cost us lots of time, money, and heartbreak.
When we're in a Survival State we leave our awareness, our bodies, and our "right minds". In Survival Mode it's easy, natural, normal!, to make costly mistakes, like:
Routinely losing the expensive fob that has to be replaced at the car dealership for $800.
Buying an $1800 non-returnable couch that doesn't fit the living room.
Smashing the computer or phone or whatever other fragile and expensive object is nearby.
Misplacing things and buying a new one just to then find the old one after the new one can no longer be returned.
Bailing out on a lease and losing the deposit(s).
Moving too slowly to grab our just right opportunities.
Moving too quickly to read the fine (and costly) print.
You get the idea.
So much wasted money.
If we want to save ourselves precious time and money, and our tender hearts – we want to know how to work with our brain states so we never get stuck doing life in Survival Mode.
Learning the tools to work with these brain states will save us tens of thousands of dollars in a lifetime!
Right now we're gearing up for our once-yearly, world-renowned program called NeuroEmotional Coach Training – and one of the curiosities folks have is, how can I justify an investment in emotional stuff?
And it's just not fair to say to them: Think of all the saltwater aquariums you will save!
NeuroEmotional Coach Training teaches us how to help ourselves and others to move fluidly between brain states, so that we spend more time in an Executive State – which is hella good at money.
When we're processing from this brain state we not only are able to save the money wasted by stupid Survival Brain mistakes and delayed by Emotional Brain stagnancy. We're also able to dream up and follow through on all our smart money ideas, and actually earn more.
This is true of all NeuroEmotional work, by the way, not just NeuroEmotional Coach Training, so that's cool!
Just by reading these newsletters and applying the tools you have, you're already helping to set yourself up with financially beneficial brain functionality. Woohoo!
And...
But...
If you're interested in this sort of thing, NeuroEmotional Coach Training additionally teaches the skills that can be used to:
Earn a good living
Earn additional part-time money
Earn a higher rate for the services you already offer
Leverage your time
Really cool.
If you're wondering if this is the year you join us, and increase both your emotional health and your financial health, and want help crunching the numbers, just respond to this email and we'll get you sorted!
Every time we practice what we've learned about brain states, we are that much less likely to lock our keys in the car.
So, cheers to not losing keys!
Cheers to not killing fish!
Cheers to all the other heartbreaks we avoid through our devotion and diligence to this work!
Every investment you make in your emotional health (and the health of others) pays for itself tenfold.
Much love and respect,
Natalie and Nathan
