[00:40] Struggling With Depression as an Athlete in High School In high school, Dr. Frank got good grades, and she was a successful athlete. However, she battled with depression. She struggled internally with just feeling not good enough. “It's important that we give ourselves the space and the grace to feel like it's okay to not feel okay.” -Dr. Frank When Dr. Frank found help for her depression, they gave her three prescriptions. Eventually, Dr. Frank realized that if you can rewire a computer, you could rewire your brain. So, she started doing all these little things to improve her mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health. [03:50] The Importance of Focusing on the Inside Before Working on the Outside Frank always told people exercise would solve all their problems, when really, it wasn't solving her problems. When Dr. Frank was exercising and eating healthy, she still wasn’t happy. That’s when she decided to work on her personal development and personal growth. Getting a coach will be critical on your journey. When you’re most successful, you have a teacher or a coach in your corner. [06:30] If You Wouldn’t Bully Someone Else, Why Bully Yourself? Read Stop Bullying Yourself: Identify Your Inner Bully, Get Out of Your Own Way & Enjoy Greater Health, Wealth, Happiness and Success: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HPNGHK/benazadi-20 This book started out as a Google Document for Dr. Frank’s children. Frank wanted to give her children steps and things that she did to reprogram and heal ultimately. The inner bully is that voice inside your head. It can push you to do better, or it can turn on you. When people are bullying, it is because they are hurting inside. We need to silence our hurtful inner bully voice. [12:40] Your Body Is Like A Computer and You Can Rewire Your Brain At Any Time Food is information, ultimately. Food is literally talking to our cells. Everything carries a specific frequency, and frequencies carry information. Counting calories is an old-school way of thinking. Instead, it’s all about the quality of the foods you get. When we exercise, we are increasing oxygen and nutrients to the body. It will help with hormones. Everything we do is a download to our body and into our soul. [17:55] Improving Our Minds By Going Outside and Getting Sunshine You need to take ten minutes every day to go outside. The mornings between 7 am and 10 am have healing rays from the sun. Go into the grass with your shoes off. Sunshine will help with serotine and vitamin D. Without the sun, there would be no life. So, it’s important to get sunlight every day. [21:05] The Best Types of Foods For Your Body and Mental Health Garlic, turmeric, berries, and beets will create nitric oxide in the body. High-quality proteins will be great for brain function. Healthy fats are perfect for getting our neurotransmitters firing and wiring. Food will impact hormone production and our mood. We have to remember digestion starts before food even hits our mouth. The relationship we have with food is critical for health. [29:35] What’s Better: A Physical Six-Pack or a Mental Six-Pack? There is no such thing as the perfect body. So a mental six-pack is much better! Frank doesn’t want her daughters to think that being skinny will lead to happiness. The expectations that society puts on women are not realistic. Instead, you need to find a healthy mindset. You are amazing just the way you are! [36:40] It’s Time To Change Your Habits So You Can Change Your Life We have to change our systems and habits. The systems and habits that you have in place will take you towards your goals. Do you have habits that are not serving you? It’s time to change them. For instance, stop hitting your alarm clock three times. When your alarm goes off, get up! AND MUCH MORE!
