When we ask ourselves what is wrong with me that my life is so hard, we make an assumption that everyone else's life is easier and that there's something actually wrong with us. And then that creates these negative patterns that literally takes apart. It pulls apart our confidence and our self esteem from inside out.

If it facilitates learning patterns, as you were saying earlier, of self deprecation, self criticism, self hate, and really at the core, self fear, rather than what we would hope we would cultivate for growth, which is self gratitude, self forgiveness, self compassion, and self love. Right. And so it's understanding the duality of every moment is that all of these things exist in every moment.

In every moment that we have in our lives, there is fear and there is love. And then there's everything that stems from fear and there's everything that stems from love. And we have a choice to make a decision to what we choose to pay attention to. And that is the mind. And what we choose to pay attention to manifests into our reality through our minds. What could be more powerful than that?

Okay, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast on Michael Jervé and by trade and training, I may sport and performance psychologist and the whole idea behind these conversations is to learn from people who are on the path of mastery to better understand what they're searching for their psychological framework, which is really how do they make sense of themselves in the world around them, especially when things aren't going according to plan.

And then we want to understand the mental skills that they use to build and refine their craft.

Finding mastery is brought to you by bearby. Bearby is a sustainable home wellness brand and they are on a mission to create a calmer, more comfortable world. They began with a single product that disrupted a 30 year old industry that was laden with artificial materials.

They created a biodegradable plastic free hand knit weighted blanket. There is a halt is incredible. Their blankets are naturally heavy cooling and handcrafted with organic materials. So everything that bearby does is grounded in their belief that thoughtful design means finding the ideal balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Their goal is to design products that not only look good, but are good for you and good for the planet as well. And that's what my family and I have been loving about bearby's cotton napper.

Now this week's conversation is with Dr. David Rabin, a neuroscientist, board-certified psychiatrist, health tech entrepreneur and inventor who has been studying the impact of chronic stress in humans for more than a decade.

David has been fascinated by consciousness and our inherent ability to heal ourselves from injury and illness.

In particular, he has specifically focused his research on the clinical translations of non-invasive therapies for folks who are resistant to traditional therapies, who are just don't quite fit in what science would suggest as a best practice.

So he's looking at that atypical non-invasive therapies for folks that don't quite fit the mold. So he is a thinker that thinks outside the box for sure.

So David is the co-founder and chief innovation officer at Apollo neuroscience. And what they've done is they've developed the first scientifically validated wearable technology that actively improves energy focus and relaxation using a novel touch therapy that signals safety to the brain.

Now, I don't say what I just said lightly. Scientifically validated wearable technology, the first scientifically validated wearable tech.
