00:00:41.80\00:00:43.24
Canada we will be talking about
00:00:43.24\00:00:44.91
practical and effective ways
00:00:44.91\00:00:47.24
you can build your confidence
00:00:47.24\00:00:49.24
and become more resilient when
00:00:49.24\00:00:51.48
you have to face
00:00:51.48\00:00:52.81
a traumatic event.
00:00:52.81\00:00:54.28
>> To begin with, we have
00:00:54.28\00:00:56.02
Dr. Nadine Plummer, a licensed
00:00:56.02\00:00:58.62
Naturopathic doctor who
00:00:58.62\00:01:01.09
graduated from the Canadian
00:01:01.09\00:01:02.59
College of Naturopathic
00:01:02.59\00:01:04.09
Medicine.
00:01:04.09\00:01:05.09
She is a member of the Ontario
00:01:05.09\00:01:07.10
Association of Naturopathic
00:01:07.10\00:01:08.56
Doctors and the Canadian
00:01:08.56\00:01:10.30
Association of Naturopathic
00:01:10.30\00:01:12.30
Doctors as well.
00:01:12.30\00:01:13.80
Dr. Plummer also holds a
00:01:13.80\00:01:16.30
Masters degree in Religion from
00:01:16.30\00:01:18.31
Andrews University's
00:01:18.31\00:01:20.31
Theological Seminary.
00:01:20.31\00:01:21.88
Dr. Plummer, welcome to It Is
00:01:21.88\00:01:23.81
Written Canada.
00:01:23.81\00:01:25.05
>> Thank you, thanks so much
00:01:25.05\00:01:26.05
for having me on.
00:01:26.05\00:01:27.65
>> So, Dr. Plummer, before we
00:01:27.65\00:01:29.35
ask you any personal type
00:01:29.35\00:01:31.75
questions, we're gonna ask you
00:01:31.75\00:01:34.12
some definition type questions.
00:01:34.12\00:01:37.06
What is confidence?
00:01:37.06\00:01:39.33
>> Great question.
00:01:40.10\00:01:41.60
When I think of confidence I
00:01:41.60\00:01:42.86
think of one main word and that
00:01:42.86\00:01:45.13
word is, "ability."
00:01:45.13\00:01:46.87
But it's not just ability, it
00:01:46.87\00:01:48.34
is confidence, in my
00:01:48.34\00:01:50.44
definition, it's like trust in
00:01:50.44\00:01:52.81
your own abilities, trust in
00:01:52.81\00:01:54.88
your own capabilities and out
00:01:54.88\00:01:57.55
of that trust in your
00:01:57.55\00:01:58.91
abilities, you develop
00:01:58.91\00:02:00.62
confidence.
00:02:00.62\00:02:01.92
So I have my own acronym or my
00:02:01.92\00:02:04.62
own saying to kind of describe
00:02:04.62\00:02:07.62
what resilience is, it is
00:02:07.62\00:02:09.89
"Think like A. B.O.S.S."
00:02:09.89\00:02:12.23
So the A stands for
00:02:12.23\00:02:13.86
"Adaptability."
00:02:13.86\00:02:15.03
So resilience is about the
00:02:15.03\00:02:17.43
ability, also, to adapt, that's
00:02:17.43\00:02:19.87
why confidence and resilience
00:02:19.87\00:02:21.37
go together, the ability to
00:02:21.37\00:02:23.34
adapt to trauma, stress,
00:02:23.34\00:02:27.54
tragedies, the difficulties
00:02:27.54\00:02:29.51
in life.
00:02:29.51\00:02:30.81
The B stands for "Bouncing
00:02:30.81\00:02:32.15
Back," it's an easy way to
00:02:32.15\00:02:34.28
define resiliency, the ability
00:02:34.28\00:02:36.18
bounce back.
00:02:36.18\00:02:37.39
The O is "Overcome," how to
00:02:37.39\00:02:40.66
overcome situations in life and
00:02:40.66\00:02:42.89
the S and the S, the first S
00:02:42.89\00:02:46.16
stands for "Stress" and second
00:02:46.16\00:02:48.36
S stands for addressing
00:02:48.36\00:02:50.57
Stress."
00:02:50.57\00:02:51.83
And we couldn't speak about
00:02:51.83\00:02:53.37
resilience without talking
00:02:53.37\00:02:54.37
about stress because really
00:02:54.37\00:02:57.11
resilience is how do you manage
00:02:57.11\00:02:59.84
stress and it's interesting
00:02:59.84\00:03:01.71
because our brains respond
00:03:01.71\00:03:03.45
differently when we're in a
00:03:03.45\00:03:04.68
stress state and when we're not
00:03:04.68\00:03:06.61
in a stress state.
00:03:06.61\00:03:07.98
So there's an area in the brain
00:03:07.98\00:03:09.25
in the front here called the
00:03:09.25\00:03:10.45
prefrontal cortex, that is the
00:03:10.45\00:03:12.39
area that kind of hosts our
00:03:12.39\00:03:14.19
personality, it's in charge of
00:03:14.19\00:03:15.96
decision-making, deductive
00:03:15.96\00:03:18.19
reasoning, logical thinking,
00:03:18.19\00:03:20.70
and when we are really
00:03:20.70\00:03:21.96
stressed, another area in our
00:03:21.96\00:03:23.63
brain called the amygdala kind
00:03:23.63\00:03:25.53
of hijacks the prefrontal
00:03:25.53\00:03:27.64
cortex and we respond out of
00:03:27.64\00:03:30.14
emotion, especially fear,
00:03:30.14\00:03:32.41
anxiety, etcetera.
00:03:32.41\00:03:34.14
So resilience is the ability to
00:03:34.14\00:03:36.88
really use your prefrontal
00:03:36.88\00:03:38.91
cortex to kind of manage stress
00:03:38.91\00:03:42.62
in a way where you're still
00:03:42.62\00:03:44.42
able to use deductive
00:03:44.42\00:03:46.09
reasoning, rational thinking,
00:03:46.09\00:03:49.22
logical, a logical analysis and
00:03:49.22\00:03:52.39
assessment of situations as
00:03:52.39\00:03:54.63
opposed to becoming very
00:03:54.63\00:03:56.56
stressed and in that case we
00:03:56.56\00:03:58.37
have a looser control of
00:03:58.37\00:04:00.24
thoughts and we tend to feel
00:04:00.24\00:04:02.07
like things are not in our
00:04:02.07\00:04:04.71
control, we can't change
00:04:04.71\00:04:05.94
things.
00:04:05.94\00:04:06.81
That's a lack of resilience.
00:04:06.81\00:04:08.58
[RENÉ] So having said that,
00:04:09.41\00:04:11.71
Dr. Plummer, how important is
00:04:11.71\00:04:15.28
resilience and confidence to an
00:04:15.28\00:04:18.02
individual's overall
00:04:18.02\00:04:20.02
well-being?
00:04:20.02\00:04:21.02
>> I would say it's very
00:04:21.02\00:04:22.26
important.
00:04:22.26\00:04:23.26
Resilience helps us in our
00:04:23.26\00:04:25.33
overall health, it helps us
00:04:25.33\00:04:27.76
with our mental attitude and
00:04:27.76\00:04:29.76
having a stronger mental
00:04:29.76\00:04:31.03
attitude or feeling resilient
00:04:31.03\00:04:33.37
actually leads to better health
00:04:33.37\00:04:35.00
outcomes.
00:04:35.00\00:04:36.00
Lack of resilience, sense of
00:04:36.00\00:04:38.24
hopelessness can lead to worse
00:04:38.24\00:04:40.41
health outcomes, chronic
00:04:40.41\00:04:41.74
disease, etcetera.
00:04:41.74\00:04:43.58
But when we're talking about
00:04:43.58\00:04:45.01
resilience, we couldn't really
00:04:45.01\00:04:46.75
discuss it in outcomes without
00:04:46.75\00:04:49.38
looking at two particular
00:04:49.38\00:04:50.89
studies.
00:04:50.89\00:04:51.89
One study was by a professor at
00:04:51.89\00:04:54.49
the University of Minnesota,
00:04:54.49\00:04:56.12
his name was Dr. Norman Garmezy
00:04:56.12\00:04:58.39
and he studied resilience in
00:04:58.39\00:05:00.90
children for over forty years
00:05:00.90\00:05:03.13
and he found that there were
00:05:03.13\00:05:04.03
three main things that
00:05:04.03\00:05:05.47
contributed to resilience,
00:05:05.47\00:05:07.04
especially in children and then
00:05:07.04\00:05:08.77
later in life even though some
00:05:08.77\00:05:11.04
of these children were coming
00:05:11.04\00:05:12.44
out of dysfunctional families
00:05:12.44\00:05:14.28
and, you know, tragedies,
00:05:14.28\00:05:16.58
difficulties, etcetera, and
00:05:16.58\00:05:18.28
those three things were
00:05:18.28\00:05:20.58
cognitive competence, academic
00:05:20.58\00:05:23.99
competence, and social
00:05:23.99\00:05:25.79
competence.
00:05:25.79\00:05:26.86
So cognitively, academically,
00:05:26.86\00:05:29.19
and socially they were
00:05:29.19\00:05:31.03
competent, regardless of what
00:05:31.03\00:05:33.53
home life was.
00:05:33.53\00:05:35.13
And with those three things
00:05:35.13\00:05:36.36
those kids ended up, or
00:05:36.36\00:05:38.27
children, being very resilient
00:05:38.27\00:05:40.37
and then going on to being
00:05:40.37\00:05:41.50
successful as adults despite
00:05:41.50\00:05:43.04
the fact that they were coming
00:05:43.04\00:05:44.24
out of adverse situations, you
00:05:44.24\00:05:45.74
could call it.
00:05:45.74\00:05:47.01
The second study was done by a
00:05:47.01\00:05:48.74
psychologist named Dr. Emmy
00:05:48.74\00:05:50.81
Werner.
00:05:50.81\00:05:52.05
And Dr. Emmy Werner did a
00:05:52.05\00:05:53.78
large-scale study of 700 kids
00:05:53.78\00:05:56.35
in Hawaii and that lasted for
00:05:56.35\00:05:58.85
over three decades and she
00:05:58.85\00:06:01.16
actually discovered what, to
00:06:01.16\00:06:02.56
me, is like the golden nuggets
00:06:02.56\00:06:04.59
of resilience.
00:06:04.59\00:06:06.06
First, she realized resilience
00:06:06.06\00:06:07.40
can be learned.
00:06:07.40\00:06:08.53
So if you don't have these
00:06:08.53\00:06:10.30
characteristics, it doesn't
00:06:10.30\00:06:12.03
mean that you cannot learn to
00:06:12.03\00:06:14.27
be resilient, but she wanted to
00:06:14.27\00:06:16.27
study resilience in children
00:06:16.27\00:06:18.74
and then see where they were,
00:06:18.74\00:06:20.81
the outcomes in adulthood.
00:06:20.81\00:06:22.54
So you said how important is it
00:06:22.54\00:06:24.48
to, like, outcomes, and that's
00:06:24.48\00:06:26.61
what she particularly wanted
00:06:26.61\00:06:28.48
to study.
00:06:28.48\00:06:29.42
So she studied 700 children,
00:06:29.42\00:06:31.69
out of those 700, one third
00:06:31.69\00:06:34.62
came-- were considered to be
00:06:34.62\00:06:36.16
children at risk.
00:06:36.16\00:06:37.66
So they came out of households
00:06:37.66\00:06:39.46
where there was poverty,
00:06:39.46\00:06:41.13
alcoholism, abuse, even in
00:06:41.13\00:06:44.07
pregnancies, some of the women
00:06:44.07\00:06:46.40
who were pregnant were in
00:06:46.40\00:06:47.47
difficult situations so it was,
00:06:47.47\00:06:49.37
you know, difficulty before
00:06:49.37\00:06:50.67
birth, and she found out of
00:06:50.67\00:06:52.87
that group of one third that
00:06:52.87\00:06:55.64
65%, so over half, actually
00:06:55.64\00:06:59.38
before the age of ten, had
00:06:59.38\00:07:01.45
developed behavioural issues,
00:07:01.45\00:07:03.75
learning disabilities, by the
00:07:03.75\00:07:05.35
age of 18, there were
00:07:05.35\00:07:07.16
addictions, alcoholism, teenage
00:07:07.16\00:07:10.96
pregnancy, but that was 65%.
00:07:10.96\00:07:14.20
The other 34% actually, they
00:07:14.20\00:07:17.20
began to thrive, despite the
00:07:17.20\00:07:19.43
fact that they were children at
00:07:19.43\00:07:20.90
risk and they became very
00:07:20.90\00:07:22.67
successful as adults, socially
00:07:22.67\00:07:25.01
successful, financially
00:07:25.01\00:07:26.14
successful.
00:07:26.14\00:07:27.31
So she wondered what was the
00:07:27.31\00:07:28.68
difference because they were
00:07:28.68\00:07:29.91
all experiencing the same type
00:07:29.91\00:07:32.08
of thing and yet why did this
00:07:32.08\00:07:34.18
group thrive, how was it they
00:07:34.18\00:07:36.32
were resilient?
00:07:36.32\00:07:37.69
So she deduced that there were
00:07:37.69\00:07:39.69
four main things that led to
00:07:39.69\00:07:41.42
that resilience and those are
00:07:41.42\00:07:43.06
four things that we can even
00:07:43.06\00:07:45.19
think about and apply today.
00:07:45.19\00:07:47.13
One of them was having a very
00:07:47.13\00:07:48.76
strong bond with at least one
00:07:48.76\00:07:51.07
parent, a loving bond with a
00:07:51.07\00:07:53.80
parent or a caregiver.
00:07:53.80\00:07:55.70
So if you have children or
00:07:55.70\00:07:57.54
you're-- you are in that
00:07:57.54\00:07:59.01
caregiving position, just that,
00:07:59.01\00:08:00.71
giving that love and support to
00:08:00.71\00:08:02.21
that child can help to develop
00:08:02.21\00:08:04.48
resilience.
00:08:04.48\00:08:05.71
The second thing was the
00:08:05.71\00:08:06.88
children who were resilient,
00:08:06.88\00:08:08.45
they had a strong sense of
00:08:08.45\00:08:09.95
autonomy and independence.
00:08:09.95\00:08:13.22
So as a parent encouraging
00:08:13.22\00:08:15.76
autonomy and independence in
00:08:15.76\00:08:17.59
your children while you're
00:08:17.59\00:08:19.09
still there as the support, you
00:08:19.09\00:08:21.33
know, so they know that you're
00:08:21.33\00:08:22.26
there, that can help develop
00:08:22.26\00:08:24.67
resilience as well.
00:08:24.67\00:08:26.23
The third thing is those
00:08:26.23\00:08:27.44
children tended to be very
00:08:27.44\00:08:28.70
industrious meaning they
00:08:28.70\00:08:30.51
realized, "Okay, I have these
00:08:30.51\00:08:32.67
skills not those, so I'll use
00:08:32.67\00:08:34.44
the skill that I have," and
00:08:34.44\00:08:36.64
they were open to new
00:08:36.64\00:08:37.68
experiences.
00:08:37.68\00:08:38.85
So they were a little bit of
00:08:38.85\00:08:40.72
risk-taking characteristics
00:08:40.72\00:08:42.68
there so that's something else
00:08:42.68\00:08:44.19
you could encourage in
00:08:44.19\00:08:45.25
children.
00:08:45.25\00:08:46.02
And the fourth thing, which is
00:08:46.02\00:08:47.66
really important and also
00:08:47.66\00:08:49.12
important in adulthood, is they
00:08:49.12\00:08:50.73
had a strong internal locus of
00:08:50.73\00:08:53.16
control, meaning they felt
00:08:53.16\00:08:55.86
like, "I can make a difference,
00:08:55.86\00:08:57.80
I can contribute to this
00:08:57.80\00:08:59.13
situation and my contribution
00:08:59.13\00:09:01.70
is going to make a difference."
00:09:01.70\00:09:03.51
And that locus of control was
00:09:03.51\00:09:05.44
something that could be applied
00:09:05.44\00:09:07.68
in their lives as they were
00:09:07.68\00:09:08.94
growing up right until
00:09:08.94\00:09:10.41
adulthood.
00:09:10.41\00:09:11.71
So I would say resilience and
00:09:11.71\00:09:13.21
confidence in your ability to
00:09:13.21\00:09:15.98
contribute and make changes in
00:09:15.98\00:09:17.62
your life are very, very
00:09:17.62\00:09:20.62
important.
00:09:20.62\00:09:21.96
>> One great way to build your
00:09:21.96\00:09:24.09
confidence is to look back and
00:09:24.09\00:09:27.40
it might sound weird, but I
00:09:27.40\00:09:29.50
think that if you look back,
00:09:29.50\00:09:31.17
you're gonna be able to see the
00:09:31.17\00:09:32.57
progress that you have made.
00:09:32.57\00:09:34.50
We compare ourselves to other
00:09:34.50\00:09:36.44
people's progress and we even
00:09:36.44\00:09:38.47
become envious or sad or
00:09:38.47\00:09:40.08
anxious because we're not there
00:09:40.08\00:09:42.18
and you wanna be where that
00:09:42.18\00:09:43.78
other person is.
00:09:43.78\00:09:45.15
However, look back and see how
00:09:45.15\00:09:48.42
many blessings God has already
00:09:48.42\00:09:49.92
given you and you're gonna be
00:09:49.92\00:09:51.62
able to become more confident
00:09:51.62\00:09:53.32
about your own progresses and
00:09:53.32\00:09:55.52
move forward with God and His
00:09:55.52\00:09:57.66
guidance.
00:09:57.66\00:09:58.63
>> You know, one of the ways
00:09:58.89\00:09:59.76
that has personally helped me
00:09:59.76\00:10:01.20
to build my confidence is
00:10:01.20\00:10:03.00
knowing more about my identity
00:10:03.00\00:10:05.27
in Christ.
00:10:05.27\00:10:06.53
When you really stop to think
00:10:06.53\00:10:07.60
about it, we are made perfectly
00:10:07.60\00:10:09.64
and wonderfully in God's image
00:10:09.64\00:10:11.84
and He sees the depths
00:10:11.84\00:10:13.01
of our heart.
00:10:13.01\00:10:13.68
We're talking about the being
00:10:13.68\00:10:15.11
that created the universe, the
00:10:15.11\00:10:17.38
stars and the galaxies, He
00:10:17.38\00:10:18.88
knows the grains of sand, He
00:10:18.88\00:10:20.85
knows the hair on your head are
00:10:20.85\00:10:22.78
numbered, even the gray ones.
00:10:22.78\00:10:24.65
And so when we know our
00:10:24.65\00:10:26.09
identity in Christ and what
00:10:26.09\00:10:27.89
He's called us to, that
00:10:27.89\00:10:29.62
knowledge fuels me daily to
00:10:29.62\00:10:32.36
grow my confidence from someone
00:10:32.36\00:10:34.00
who is timid and shy and
00:10:34.00\00:10:35.56
uncertain to someone who is
00:10:35.56\00:10:37.33
bold and courageous and
00:10:37.33\00:10:38.83
fearless and able to take on
00:10:38.83\00:10:40.60
the world.
00:10:40.60\00:10:41.60
>> Confidence and resilience, I
00:10:43.67\00:10:44.77
believe, are displayed
00:10:44.77\00:10:45.87
throughout the Bible, but I'm
00:10:45.87\00:10:48.01
gonna point out two stories
00:10:48.01\00:10:49.71
that come to mind in
00:10:49.71\00:10:50.58
particular.
00:10:50.58\00:10:51.85
The first one with confidence
00:10:51.85\00:10:53.08
would be Shadrach, Meshach, and
00:10:53.08\00:10:54.85
Abednego, they were asked, or
00:10:54.85\00:10:56.69
commanded, to bow down before
00:10:56.69\00:10:59.59
the king and in their
00:10:59.59\00:11:01.89
confidence and their allegiance
00:11:01.89\00:11:03.66
toward God decided not to
00:11:03.66\00:11:06.46
despite or in spite of the doom
00:11:06.46\00:11:10.57
that they were going to face.
00:11:10.57\00:11:12.27
And even when they were being
00:11:12.27\00:11:14.64
tested by saying, "We will
00:11:14.64\00:11:16.14
throw you into the fire and it
00:11:16.14\00:11:17.87
is seven times hotter," they
00:11:17.87\00:11:19.91
decided, "We are going to
00:11:19.91\00:11:21.41
remain confident in our God and
00:11:21.41\00:11:23.65
even if He doesn't deliver us,
00:11:23.65\00:11:26.18
we still trust Him."
00:11:26.18\00:11:28.18
With resilience a different
00:11:29.18\00:11:31.02
verse comes to mind.
00:11:31.02\00:11:32.25
"The righteous man falleth
00:11:33.19\00:11:34.92
seven times and getteth
00:11:34.92\00:11:36.36
up again."
00:11:36.36\00:11:37.73
I don't know about you, but
00:11:37.73\00:11:38.99
when I fall over and over and
00:11:38.99\00:11:40.70
over into the same sin or into
00:11:40.70\00:11:42.56
the same pattern, I get
00:11:42.56\00:11:44.03
discouraged, but the righteous
00:11:44.03\00:11:45.53
man is resilient and he
00:11:45.53\00:11:47.37
gets up again.
00:11:47.37\00:11:48.64
>> Dr. Plummer, as a
00:11:50.97\00:11:52.57
naturopathic doctor, you know
00:11:52.57\00:11:54.64
about these natural remedies
00:11:54.64\00:11:56.41
from God's "farm-acy" that we
00:11:56.41\00:11:59.18
talk about here, the farm,
00:11:59.18\00:12:00.55
coming from the earth.
00:12:00.55\00:12:02.25
How important is knowing that to
00:12:02.25\00:12:04.49
a person's own confidence and
00:12:04.49\00:12:06.42
resilience?
00:12:06.42\00:12:07.42
>> I think it can contribute to
00:12:07.92\00:12:09.46
confidence and resilience just
00:12:09.46\00:12:11.63
because you know, you may know
00:12:11.63\00:12:14.93
the things that you can do that
00:12:14.93\00:12:16.40
will help for different
00:12:16.40\00:12:17.73
conditions and situations,
00:12:17.73\00:12:18.90
like, you might think, "Oh, if
00:12:18.90\00:12:19.97
I get a cold I know what I can
00:12:19.97\00:12:21.84
take and I know what I can do,"
00:12:21.84\00:12:23.47
or if, I don't know, I cut
00:12:23.47\00:12:25.47
myself, maybe I can use this
00:12:25.47\00:12:27.71
herb to help me heal.
00:12:27.71\00:12:29.44
Just having that sense of, "I
00:12:29.44\00:12:31.61
am contributing to my own
00:12:31.61\00:12:32.98
health," like as we had
00:12:32.98\00:12:34.75
mentioned, Dr. Werner talked
00:12:34.75\00:12:36.89
about this internal locus of
00:12:36.89\00:12:39.29
control and that could apply
00:12:39.29\00:12:41.46
here, I know that I can make a
00:12:41.46\00:12:43.73
change and that I am
00:12:43.73\00:12:45.86
responsible for my own health,
00:12:45.86\00:12:48.06
I'm contributing to my own
00:12:48.06\00:12:49.43
health, I'm making changes for
00:12:49.43\00:12:50.90
my own health.
00:12:50.90\00:12:52.37
You had mentioned the "farm-acy"
00:12:52.37\00:12:54.34
as in "the farm," I think
00:12:54.34\00:12:56.37
something interesting happens
00:12:56.37\00:12:57.97
when we farm our own food or we
00:12:57.97\00:13:00.68
go to a farm to get our food.
00:13:00.68\00:13:02.68
We're so disconnected now in
00:13:02.68\00:13:04.61
our relationship with food and
00:13:04.61\00:13:06.51
not realizing where food comes
00:13:06.51\00:13:08.32
from that it becomes a lot
00:13:08.32\00:13:09.82
easier to eat processed foods
00:13:09.82\00:13:12.15
and not really think about what
00:13:12.15\00:13:13.62
we're putting in our bodies,
00:13:13.62\00:13:15.46
but when we go to God's
00:13:15.46\00:13:16.62
"farm-acy" and we're getting
00:13:16.62\00:13:18.33
the foods from the farm, it
00:13:18.33\00:13:20.00
changes our relationship with
00:13:20.00\00:13:22.03
food, we become more aware of
00:13:22.03\00:13:24.50
what we're eating and where the
00:13:24.50\00:13:25.97
food came from and that leads
00:13:25.97\00:13:27.74
to this process of realizing,
00:13:27.74\00:13:29.34
"Okay, this food is good for me
00:13:29.34\00:13:31.41
and this food is not good for
00:13:31.41\00:13:32.87
me," we become more aware and
00:13:32.87\00:13:35.41
that type of eating is actually
00:13:35.41\00:13:36.95
called, "mindful eating," which
00:13:36.95\00:13:39.78
is becoming more popular now.
00:13:39.78\00:13:41.72
Knowing where your food came
00:13:41.72\00:13:43.82
from, having a relationship
00:13:43.82\00:13:45.82
with your food and, in turn,
00:13:45.82\00:13:48.02
you make better food choices
00:13:48.02\00:13:49.89
and in turn we feel better
00:13:49.89\00:13:51.19
about ourselves and our
00:13:51.19\00:13:53.23
eating styles.
00:13:53.23\00:13:54.83
>> Hello, my name is Cathy and
00:13:57.17\00:13:58.83
this is my sister-in-law.
00:13:58.83\00:14:00.37
>> Hi, I'm Arlete Susana.
00:14:00.37\00:14:01.90
Today we're gonna show you some
00:14:01.90\00:14:03.24
natural remedies you can use
00:14:03.24\00:14:04.71
using some items from nature
00:14:04.71\00:14:07.04
that God provided for us to
00:14:07.04\00:14:08.58
help us with our immune system
00:14:08.58\00:14:09.78
and our health overall.
00:14:09.78\00:14:11.38
>> Ahh.
00:14:11.38\00:14:12.55
So then we don't have to rush
00:14:12.55\00:14:13.98
off to the pharmacy to get our
00:14:13.98\00:14:16.35
medications.
00:14:16.35\00:14:17.22
>> No.
00:14:17.22\00:14:17.82
>> We go to God's "farm-acy."
00:14:17.92\00:14:20.66
[laughter]
00:14:20.66\00:14:21.22
[ARLETE] That's very clever,
00:14:21.36\00:14:21.82
Cathy.
00:14:21.82\00:14:22.46
>> So I'm gonna show you how to
00:14:22.52\00:14:23.46
make-- I actually won't show
00:14:23.46\00:14:25.16
you how to make it, but I'll
00:14:25.16\00:14:26.06
give you the recipe for
00:14:26.06\00:14:28.00
Nature's Penicillin, the
00:14:28.00\00:14:29.50
recipe is basically just one
00:14:29.50\00:14:32.63
large grapefruit, red
00:14:32.63\00:14:34.14
grapefruit, two lemons, an
00:14:34.14\00:14:36.27
orange, and half a large onion
00:14:36.27\00:14:38.57
or a whole small onion, four
00:14:38.57\00:14:40.34
cloves of garlic, and three
00:14:40.34\00:14:42.11
drops of peppermint oil.
00:14:42.11\00:14:43.98
>> Okay, do you put the whole
00:14:43.98\00:14:45.05
thing, the fruit, the whole
00:14:45.05\00:14:46.11
fruit in?
00:14:46.11\00:14:46.65
>> If it's organic you can do
00:14:46.82\00:14:47.85
that, but it makes it a little
00:14:47.85\00:14:48.85
bit more difficult to drink
00:14:48.85\00:14:50.15
because it gets thicker.
00:14:50.15\00:14:51.79
I find that if you peel it it's
00:14:51.79\00:14:53.15
just a little bit more
00:14:53.15\00:14:54.12
pleasant.
00:14:54.12\00:14:54.92
And the dosage for that would
00:14:54.92\00:14:56.16
basically be for an adult, a
00:14:56.16\00:14:58.63
cup a day or a child, half a
00:14:58.63\00:15:00.76
cup a day, but you don't take
00:15:00.76\00:15:02.16
it all at once, you take it by
00:15:02.16\00:15:03.33
the spoonful, either a spoonful
00:15:03.33\00:15:05.17
to a quarter cup full at room
00:15:05.17\00:15:07.54
temperature throughout the day
00:15:07.54\00:15:09.00
until you start to feel better.
00:15:09.00\00:15:11.37
It's an excellent immune
00:15:11.37\00:15:12.34
booster.
00:15:12.34\00:15:13.41
So that's Nature's Penicillin.
00:15:13.41\00:15:14.61
Super easy.
00:15:14.61\00:15:15.84
The next one that I wanna show
00:15:15.84\00:15:16.81
you is-- and this one I'll
00:15:16.81\00:15:18.18
actually show you, is called
00:15:18.18\00:15:19.65
"Throat Coat," for anything
00:15:19.65\00:15:21.32
related to your throat, any
00:15:21.32\00:15:24.69
congestion...
00:15:24.69\00:15:25.25
[CATHY] Respiratory...
00:15:25.25\00:15:26.09
[ARLETE] That's right.
00:15:26.09\00:15:26.76
So I've already put in the bowl
00:15:26.76\00:15:29.02
the juice of half a lemon, just
00:15:29.02\00:15:30.73
like that, the lemon is an
00:15:30.73\00:15:31.59
astringent and a detoxifier so
00:15:31.59\00:15:33.40
we're starting with that, and
00:15:33.40\00:15:35.46
one to four cloves of garlic.
00:15:35.46\00:15:37.83
Now, it depends on how much you
00:15:37.83\00:15:39.20
like garlic because it's spicy
00:15:39.20\00:15:41.77
and the garlic is antiviral,
00:15:41.77\00:15:44.11
anti-bacterial, it's an
00:15:44.11\00:15:45.67
amazing, so powerful, so it's
00:15:45.67\00:15:48.18
excellent for your-- as a
00:15:48.18\00:15:50.18
remedy.
00:15:50.18\00:15:50.71
Then to that, we're going to
00:15:50.85\00:15:51.81
add a tablespoon of raw honey.
00:15:51.81\00:15:53.92
[CATHY] Does it have to be
00:15:53.92\00:15:54.72
raw honey?
00:15:54.72\00:15:55.72
[ARLETE] It does have to be raw
00:15:55.72\00:15:56.72
honey, pasteurized honey has
00:15:56.72\00:15:59.62
pretty much heated up the honey
00:15:59.62\00:16:01.19
to the point where there's no
00:16:01.19\00:16:02.59
medicinal properties left in
00:16:02.59\00:16:04.06
it, it's just a sweetener.
00:16:04.06\00:16:05.33
So if it's raw honey, you're
00:16:05.33\00:16:06.93
gonna get the medicinal
00:16:06.93\00:16:07.93
properties of it and then you
00:16:07.93\00:16:09.43
get a bonus if you get local
00:16:09.43\00:16:10.87
raw honey then you're also
00:16:10.87\00:16:12.50
getting the benefits of
00:16:12.50\00:16:16.40
antihistamines from the plants
00:16:16.40\00:16:18.01
from the area...
00:16:18.01\00:16:18.84
[CATHY] Oh, for allergies.
00:16:18.84\00:16:19.61
[ARLETE] So if you have
00:16:19.61\00:16:20.21
seasonal allergies, yeah.
00:16:20.21\00:16:21.31
So we're gonna go ahead and put
00:16:21.31\00:16:22.18
a tablespoon of the raw honey
00:16:22.18\00:16:24.01
right into our mix.
00:16:24.01\00:16:26.25
Thank you.
00:16:26.75\00:16:27.62
And the honey's gonna help it
00:16:28.25\00:16:29.92
to stick to your throat when
00:16:29.92\00:16:31.85
you swallow it, that's what's
00:16:31.85\00:16:33.42
gonna give it that coat, that
00:16:33.42\00:16:35.16
coating effect.
00:16:35.16\00:16:36.26
Okay?
00:16:36.26\00:16:36.99
And then we're gonna add to
00:16:36.99\00:16:38.46
this, we're going to add some
00:16:38.46\00:16:40.43
cayenne pepper.
00:16:40.43\00:16:41.96
Now, cayenne, if you know
00:16:41.96\00:16:43.73
anything about cayenne, cayenne
00:16:43.73\00:16:45.07
is a blood stimulant and
00:16:45.07\00:16:46.53
anywhere the heat of the
00:16:46.53\00:16:47.74
cayenne goes, it draws all the
00:16:47.74\00:16:49.40
white and red blood cells and
00:16:49.40\00:16:51.31
activates the healing.
00:16:51.31\00:16:52.97
So for cayenne, because it is
00:16:52.97\00:16:55.54
spicy, because it's hot, you
00:16:55.54\00:16:57.65
can put anywhere from an eighth
00:16:57.65\00:16:59.05
of a teaspoon to a quarter
00:16:59.05\00:17:00.28
teaspoon, for a child you'd
00:17:00.28\00:17:01.75
probably do just a couple of
00:17:01.75\00:17:02.95
shakes, but it really does
00:17:02.95\00:17:04.25
depend on your tolerance for
00:17:04.25\00:17:05.79
the spice level and being a
00:17:05.79\00:17:07.32
blood stimulant, it's just
00:17:07.32\00:17:08.76
gonna get everything going,
00:17:08.76\00:17:10.79
and, again, wherever there's
00:17:10.79\00:17:11.83
heat, the blood cells will go
00:17:11.83\00:17:13.46
to help heal as well.
00:17:13.46\00:17:15.03
So here I'm going to add just a
00:17:15.03\00:17:18.03
few shakes.
00:17:18.03\00:17:19.27
I'll show you what that would
00:17:19.27\00:17:20.77
look like.
00:17:20.77\00:17:21.27
Actually, do you mind holding
00:17:21.47\00:17:22.07
that spoon for me?
00:17:22.07\00:17:22.80
>> Sure, like this?
00:17:22.80\00:17:23.51
>> Yeah, one, two.
00:17:23.51\00:17:24.44
So just about like that, couple
00:17:24.44\00:17:26.14
of shakes, maybe a third for
00:17:26.14\00:17:27.11
good luck.
00:17:27.11\00:17:28.11
Okay, so there's the cayenne.
00:17:28.78\00:17:30.71
And the last ingredient of our
00:17:30.71\00:17:33.28
Throat Coat, and we can just
00:17:33.28\00:17:34.58
keep stirring that in a little
00:17:34.58\00:17:35.62
bit, you see it just changes
00:17:35.62\00:17:36.89
the colour a little bit.
00:17:36.89\00:17:38.05
Make sure that there's no lumps
00:17:38.05\00:17:40.06
in the cayenne.
00:17:40.06\00:17:41.49
And the last ingredient that
00:17:41.49\00:17:42.76
we'll add is peppermint
00:17:42.76\00:17:44.29
essential oil.
00:17:44.29\00:17:45.33
The reason why we're adding
00:17:45.33\00:17:46.66
peppermint essential oil is
00:17:46.66\00:17:47.56
because it's excellent for your
00:17:47.56\00:17:49.16
respiratory, anything to do
00:17:49.16\00:17:50.87
with your airways, if you have
00:17:50.87\00:17:52.07
congestion, or any kind of
00:17:52.07\00:17:54.20
mucus build-up, it's good for
00:17:54.20\00:17:55.94
releasing that.
00:17:55.94\00:17:56.71
>> Right.
00:17:56.71\00:17:57.24
>> And one drop is enough,
00:17:57.34\00:17:58.11
especially if you use the
00:17:58.11\00:17:59.17
doTERRA oil because it's just
00:17:59.17\00:18:00.74
very potent.
00:18:00.74\00:18:02.31
So we're gonna just use one
00:18:02.31\00:18:03.68
drop and there it goes.
00:18:03.68\00:18:05.78
And actually, it smells
00:18:05.78\00:18:07.42
really nice.
00:18:07.42\00:18:08.35
And the peppermint oil also
00:18:08.35\00:18:10.42
helps to cut the-- that sharp
00:18:10.42\00:18:12.75
flavour of the garlic so it
00:18:12.75\00:18:14.39
makes it a little bit easier to
00:18:14.39\00:18:16.06
take as well.
00:18:16.06\00:18:17.09
And so the dosage for this
00:18:17.09\00:18:18.43
Throat Coat would be a
00:18:18.43\00:18:19.96
tablespoon every 20-30 minutes
00:18:19.96\00:18:23.13
until this particular recipe
00:18:23.13\00:18:25.77
is done.
00:18:25.77\00:18:26.53
And so you would take a
00:18:26.53\00:18:28.40
tablespoon of that every 20
00:18:28.40\00:18:29.90
minutes until you're remedy is
00:18:29.90\00:18:33.44
finished pretty much.
00:18:33.44\00:18:34.64
>> Well, this is wonderful that
00:18:34.64\00:18:35.78
the Lord is so interested in
00:18:35.78\00:18:37.65
our health that He provides us
00:18:37.65\00:18:39.85
a means to take care of our
00:18:39.85\00:18:41.38
ailments.
00:18:41.38\00:18:42.38
[ARLETE] And it does work.
00:18:42.38\00:18:43.39
When you use it, you know that
00:18:43.39\00:18:45.12
you're also not going to be
00:18:45.12\00:18:46.65
having any negative side
00:18:46.65\00:18:47.82
effects or interfering with
00:18:47.82\00:18:49.36
anything else in your body.
00:18:49.36\00:18:50.69
So we pray that you were
00:18:50.69\00:18:51.66
blessed by today's
00:18:51.66\00:18:52.99
demonstration of natural
00:18:52.99\00:18:54.10
remedies.
00:18:54.10\00:18:54.96
Why don't you try some natural
00:18:54.96\00:18:57.37
remedies first instead of
00:18:57.37\00:18:59.07
resorting to pharmaceuticals or
00:18:59.07\00:19:00.70
anything like that first and
00:19:00.70\00:19:02.57
you'll be pleasantly surprised
00:19:02.57\00:19:04.17
and trust in God's ways
00:19:04.17\00:19:06.44
of healing.
00:19:06.44\00:19:07.18
[CATHY] Absolutely, His
00:19:07.18\00:19:07.98
"farm-acy."
00:19:07.98\00:19:09.24
[ARLETE] We pray that it was a
00:19:09.24\00:19:10.08
blessing.
00:19:10.08\00:19:10.85
>> So talk about the Bible, is
00:19:13.92\00:19:15.92
there a Bible verse or a Bible
00:19:15.92\00:19:19.02
story that tells us about
00:19:19.02\00:19:22.02
resiliency and confidence?
00:19:22.02\00:19:24.13
>> There are a few, a few of my
00:19:24.13\00:19:25.96
favourites, just the story of
00:19:25.96\00:19:27.76
Joseph is an incredible story
00:19:27.76\00:19:30.27
about resilience.
00:19:30.27\00:19:31.90
Joseph started off with one of
00:19:31.90\00:19:34.07
the four things that I had
00:19:34.07\00:19:35.54
mentioned, a strong and
00:19:35.54\00:19:37.04
powerful bond or relationship
00:19:37.04\00:19:38.87
with at least one parent.
00:19:38.87\00:19:40.81
So we know that Joseph was very
00:19:40.81\00:19:42.91
strongly loved by his father
00:19:42.91\00:19:44.18
and his mother and he grew up
00:19:44.18\00:19:47.15
in a home where there wasn't a
00:19:47.15\00:19:48.68
lot of the dysfunction that I
00:19:48.68\00:19:50.45
had described in these studies,
00:19:50.45\00:19:52.92
as a young boy, but then after
00:19:52.92\00:19:55.16
that, the dysfunction kind of
00:19:55.16\00:19:56.89
came out, this sibling rivalry
00:19:56.89\00:19:58.79
to the point where Joseph was
00:19:58.79\00:20:00.33
betrayed by his brothers, he
00:20:00.33\00:20:02.00
was left for dead, he was kind
00:20:02.00\00:20:04.13
of ripped out of his safe and
00:20:04.13\00:20:05.87
secure home and then sold into
00:20:05.87\00:20:08.10
slavery and after that he
00:20:08.10\00:20:10.11
worked as a house servant and
00:20:10.11\00:20:11.71
after that he was in prison and
00:20:11.71\00:20:14.01
after that he ended up being,
00:20:14.01\00:20:15.78
like, second in command to a
00:20:15.78\00:20:17.35
great empire.
00:20:17.35\00:20:18.88
But what happened was, you have
00:20:18.88\00:20:20.68
to question, how did Joseph get
00:20:20.68\00:20:22.35
to the point of being second in
00:20:22.35\00:20:23.65
command, how did he not just
00:20:23.65\00:20:25.42
give up and think this is, you
00:20:25.42\00:20:27.76
know, my permanent luck, it's
00:20:27.76\00:20:29.66
just bad, bad, bad?
00:20:29.66\00:20:31.76
But in the Bible story, in each
00:20:31.76\00:20:33.86
situation, Joseph rose to the
00:20:33.86\00:20:36.33
top of that environment.
00:20:36.33\00:20:38.60
You know, it was a constant
00:20:38.60\00:20:40.37
lesson in resilience, he acted
00:20:40.37\00:20:43.51
in ways that showed he had
00:20:43.51\00:20:45.47
God's favour.
00:20:45.47\00:20:46.78
So when he actually was a house
00:20:46.78\00:20:48.71
servant, he rose to the top of
00:20:48.71\00:20:51.15
the house servants, you know,
00:20:51.15\00:20:52.71
and then unfortunately,
00:20:52.71\00:20:54.35
Potiphar's wife, Potiphar was
00:20:54.35\00:20:56.18
the owner of the house, the
00:20:56.18\00:20:57.95
wife kind of had this
00:20:57.95\00:20:59.59
attraction to Joseph and asked
00:20:59.59\00:21:01.52
him to engage in an adulterous
00:21:01.52\00:21:03.66
affair and Joseph chose to
00:21:03.66\00:21:05.26
stick to his ethics and say no,
00:21:05.26\00:21:07.60
and next thing you know, Joseph
00:21:07.60\00:21:09.00
goes from being, you know, at
00:21:09.00\00:21:10.73
the height in the house to then
00:21:10.73\00:21:13.23
he's in prison.
00:21:13.23\00:21:14.44
But even though he was in
00:21:14.44\00:21:15.84
prison, he again rises in his
00:21:15.84\00:21:19.11
position in prison and ends up
00:21:19.11\00:21:20.81
having good relationship with
00:21:20.81\00:21:21.98
the guard and ends up being,
00:21:21.98\00:21:24.11
you know, like a top inmate in
00:21:24.11\00:21:27.18
prison and then he goes from
00:21:27.18\00:21:28.98
that to meeting someone and
00:21:28.98\00:21:30.82
saying, "Hey, when you get out,
00:21:30.82\00:21:32.45
you know, mention me to the
00:21:32.45\00:21:33.79
king," so there's this hope and
00:21:33.79\00:21:35.99
that doesn't happen and he
00:21:35.99\00:21:37.93
stays in prison for years, for
00:21:37.93\00:21:39.69
about two years, but he doesn't
00:21:39.69\00:21:41.36
lose all of his hope and then
00:21:41.36\00:21:43.00
he gets out and he helps
00:21:43.00\00:21:44.30
Pharaoh and then he's in a very
00:21:44.30\00:21:46.20
high position.
00:21:46.20\00:21:47.47
So just that story of the ups
00:21:47.47\00:21:51.11
and downs and, you know, not
00:21:51.11\00:21:53.54
just life's little
00:21:53.54\00:21:54.58
vicissitudes, but life's major
00:21:54.58\00:21:57.18
trauma's that Joseph, that he
00:21:57.18\00:22:00.52
experienced and that he comes
00:22:00.52\00:22:02.32
out kind of thriving, that's an
00:22:02.32\00:22:04.52
incredible story or resiliency,
00:22:04.52\00:22:07.09
but also a story of what can
00:22:07.09\00:22:09.09
happen when you have that
00:22:09.09\00:22:10.76
loving father, not just the
00:22:10.76\00:22:12.89
loving parent, but he had a
00:22:12.89\00:22:14.66
loving, you know, heavenly
00:22:14.66\00:22:16.53
Father, which is the first, you
00:22:16.53\00:22:18.83
know, major step in building
00:22:18.83\00:22:20.80
resiliency and also he had
00:22:20.80\00:22:23.04
God's favour.
00:22:23.04\00:22:24.14
So when I think of resilience,
00:22:24.14\00:22:26.31
I think of the story of Joseph.
00:22:26.31\00:22:28.54
>> I couldn't help thinking
00:22:28.54\00:22:29.41
about the acronym that you used
00:22:29.41\00:22:30.98
in the beginning of the
00:22:30.98\00:22:32.21
program.
00:22:32.21\00:22:33.52
Joseph was really A. B.O.S.S.
00:22:33.52\00:22:36.22
>> He was A. B.O.S.S.
00:22:36.22\00:22:37.65
Very resilient, and he ended up
00:22:37.65\00:22:39.32
being The Boss.
00:22:39.32\00:22:41.06
But I also think of a Bible
00:22:42.26\00:22:43.63
verse that really encourages
00:22:43.63\00:22:44.83
me, it's from Romans chapter
00:22:44.83\00:22:47.30
12, verse 2, and in that Bible
00:22:47.30\00:22:49.26
verse it says, "Do not copy the
00:22:49.26\00:22:51.03
behaviours of this world."
00:22:51.03\00:22:53.23
So in that study that
00:22:53.23\00:22:55.80
Dr. Werner was doing, there were
00:22:55.80\00:22:57.67
children who were at risk and
00:22:57.67\00:22:59.77
some of those children ended up
00:22:59.77\00:23:02.01
in addiction and dysfunction,
00:23:02.01\00:23:04.25
but the other children didn't
00:23:04.25\00:23:05.88
so this idea, "Don't copy the
00:23:05.88\00:23:07.95
behaviour of this world,"
00:23:07.95\00:23:09.62
perhaps children or friends,
00:23:09.62\00:23:11.85
etcetera, are going in one
00:23:11.85\00:23:13.29
direction, don't necessarily go
00:23:13.29\00:23:15.09
in that direction, but instead
00:23:15.09\00:23:17.53
let God transform your life by
00:23:17.53\00:23:19.73
changing the way you think and
00:23:19.73\00:23:22.16
then you'll know the will
00:23:22.16\00:23:23.40
of God.
00:23:23.40\00:23:24.20
So with resilience, most of it,
00:23:24.20\00:23:26.17
there are actions that you can
00:23:26.17\00:23:27.67
take and we're gonna talk about
00:23:27.67\00:23:28.34
some of those tools, but a lot
00:23:28.34\00:23:30.14
of it is mindset, it's the way
00:23:30.14\00:23:32.04
we think and that's why I love
00:23:32.04\00:23:33.91
that verse, "Allow God to
00:23:33.91\00:23:35.88
change the way that you think,"
00:23:35.88\00:23:38.01
and through that, He will give
00:23:38.01\00:23:40.25
you the resilience.
00:23:40.25\00:23:41.95
So I find the story of Joseph
00:23:41.95\00:23:43.52
encouraging and I find that
00:23:43.52\00:23:45.15
Bible verse just full of
00:23:45.15\00:23:46.65
wisdom.
00:23:46.65\00:23:47.66
>> Can you share with us any
00:23:47.66\00:23:50.16
tools or strategies of how we
00:23:50.16\00:23:53.40
can build our confidence and
00:23:53.40\00:23:55.63
resilience?
00:23:55.63\00:23:57.13
>> So I have a lot of tools and
00:23:57.13\00:23:58.87
strategy, we all-- strategies,
00:23:58.87\00:24:01.44
we already talked about the
00:24:01.44\00:24:03.20
four discoveries by Dr. Werner
00:24:03.20\00:24:06.07
and the three things that
00:24:06.07\00:24:08.78
Dr. Norman Garmazy had
00:24:08.78\00:24:11.01
discovered as well, but on top
00:24:11.01\00:24:13.08
of that, there are little things
00:24:13.08\00:24:15.18
that you can do, a lot of them
00:24:15.18\00:24:16.82
have to do with mindset that
00:24:16.82\00:24:18.35
make a big difference.
00:24:18.35\00:24:19.52
So when we are feeling
00:24:19.52\00:24:21.52
depressed or we're not feeling
00:24:21.52\00:24:23.19
resilient, meaning we're
00:24:23.19\00:24:24.59
feeling hopeless, we tend to
00:24:24.59\00:24:27.40
carry ourselves in a down--
00:24:27.40\00:24:29.63
we're feeling down and we carry
00:24:29.63\00:24:31.30
ourselves in a downward way.
00:24:31.30\00:24:33.44
So we carry ourselves like
00:24:33.44\00:24:34.94
this, we'll walk like this,
00:24:34.94\00:24:36.91
we'll sit like this, and your
00:24:36.91\00:24:39.54
brain responds to your posture.
00:24:39.54\00:24:41.91
So when you're like this, if I
00:24:41.91\00:24:43.31
stayed like this for long
00:24:43.31\00:24:44.25
enough, my brain probably would
00:24:44.25\00:24:46.65
start secreting stress
00:24:46.65\00:24:48.42
hormones, cortisol, adrenaline,
00:24:48.42\00:24:50.95
I'm telling my brain that I'm
00:24:50.95\00:24:53.05
stressed and worried and
00:24:53.05\00:24:54.56
anxious and maybe afraid.
00:24:54.56\00:24:56.36
But you can shift your posture.
00:24:56.36\00:24:58.46
Woo, that feels better!
00:24:58.99\00:25:00.96
When you're like this your
00:25:00.96\00:25:02.20
brain's going to respond, "Oh,
00:25:02.20\00:25:03.77
okay, something's different,"
00:25:03.77\00:25:05.80
and your brain will release
00:25:05.80\00:25:07.20
endorphins, serotonin,
00:25:07.20\00:25:08.84
dopamine, and those are the
00:25:08.84\00:25:10.67
bliss hormones.
00:25:10.67\00:25:11.81
You feel better and when you're
00:25:11.81\00:25:13.11
in that state you can see
00:25:13.11\00:25:14.68
things differently.
00:25:14.68\00:25:15.94
So something that helps to
00:25:15.94\00:25:17.51
build resilience is just
00:25:17.51\00:25:19.75
shifting your posture.
00:25:19.75\00:25:21.75
Something else that helps with
00:25:21.75\00:25:22.98
the secretion of those
00:25:22.98\00:25:24.25
hormones, serotonin,
00:25:24.25\00:25:25.89
endorphins, dopamine, so
00:25:25.89\00:25:27.19
serotonin's like the happiness
00:25:27.19\00:25:29.06
hormone, dopamine is like the
00:25:29.06\00:25:30.93
pleasure, satisfaction, reward
00:25:30.93\00:25:33.80
hormone, endorphins are the
00:25:33.80\00:25:36.30
"feeling no pain" hormone, so
00:25:36.30\00:25:38.83
that combination is like bliss,
00:25:38.83\00:25:41.24
but just what you're doing
00:25:41.24\00:25:42.30
right now, René, laughing and
00:25:42.30\00:25:44.27
smiling.
00:25:44.27\00:25:45.11
Laughing and smiling cause the
00:25:45.11\00:25:46.64
release of those hormones.
00:25:46.64\00:25:48.48
So the more we laugh and the
00:25:48.48\00:25:49.84
more we smile, I know you're
00:25:49.84\00:25:51.15
saying well, you're in a
00:25:51.15\00:25:52.05
difficult situation, you don't
00:25:52.05\00:25:53.85
wanna laugh, even smiling can
00:25:53.85\00:25:55.78
shift your brain chemistry and
00:25:55.78\00:25:57.82
that can help you to see things
00:25:57.82\00:25:59.52
a little bit differently.
00:25:59.52\00:26:01.99
There are two or three other
00:26:01.99\00:26:03.12
things that can help.
00:26:03.12\00:26:04.96
One of them is with positivity,
00:26:04.96\00:26:06.76
it's avoiding seeing the
00:26:06.76\00:26:08.40
situation as insurmountable,
00:26:08.40\00:26:11.00
meaning you view it as a
00:26:11.00\00:26:12.83
mountain that's so much bigger
00:26:12.83\00:26:14.27
than you and you can't climb
00:26:14.27\00:26:15.80
that mountain, it means you
00:26:15.80\00:26:17.57
feel like it is impossible.
00:26:17.57\00:26:19.91
But there's a beautiful Bible
00:26:19.91\00:26:21.34
verse that says, "With man it
00:26:21.34\00:26:22.94
is impossible, but with the
00:26:22.94\00:26:24.51
Lord, all things are possible."
00:26:24.51\00:26:27.78
So leaning on the Lord so He
00:26:27.78\00:26:29.35
can help you to know it's
00:26:29.35\00:26:31.62
possible.
00:26:31.62\00:26:32.62
So avoiding a sense of
00:26:32.62\00:26:34.72
insurmountability.
00:26:34.72\00:26:36.83
>> Thank you very much,
00:26:37.36\00:26:38.19
Dr. Plummer.
00:26:38.19\00:26:39.13
Before we go, I wonder if I
00:26:39.13\00:26:40.36
could ask you to pray for our
00:26:40.36\00:26:41.93
viewers specifically that they
00:26:41.93\00:26:44.90
may be struggling to build this
00:26:44.90\00:26:47.54
confidence and resilience, that
00:26:47.54\00:26:49.17
you can pray for them that God
00:26:49.17\00:26:50.54
will give them that ability.
00:26:50.54\00:26:51.84
>> Amen, definitely.
00:26:51.84\00:26:53.31
Let's pray.
00:26:53.31\00:26:54.48
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, we
00:26:54.48\00:26:56.21
thank You so much, Lord,
00:26:56.21\00:26:57.55
because You are our Father and
00:26:57.55\00:26:59.81
we were made in Your image.
00:26:59.81\00:27:01.18
We thank You because You are
00:27:01.18\00:27:02.82
the loving heavenly Father that
00:27:02.82\00:27:05.32
we need so that we can have
00:27:05.32\00:27:07.16
resilience.
00:27:07.16\00:27:07.92
I just wanna pray and ask,
00:27:07.92\00:27:09.19
Lord, that every viewer,
00:27:09.19\00:27:10.69
everyone listening, can learn
00:27:10.69\00:27:13.63
to depend on you, can have a
00:27:13.63\00:27:15.70
stronger relationship with you
00:27:15.70\00:27:17.40
and within their own hearts and
00:27:17.40\00:27:19.73
their own locus of control,
00:27:19.73\00:27:21.84
they can build more resilience
00:27:21.84\00:27:23.74
through You.
00:27:23.74\00:27:24.87
Lord, Your word says that with
00:27:24.87\00:27:25.97
You all things are possible and
00:27:25.97\00:27:27.74
I pray that everyone will come
00:27:27.74\00:27:28.98
to know that.
00:27:28.98\00:27:29.94
We place these things in the
00:27:29.94\00:27:31.11
name of Jesus Christ our Lord
00:27:31.11\00:27:32.35
and Saviour, amen.
00:27:32.35\00:27:33.65
[MIKE & RENÉ] Amen.
00:27:33.65\00:27:34.65
>> Dr. Plummer, thank you very
00:27:34.65\00:27:35.48
much for coming on It Is
00:27:35.48\00:27:36.99
Written Canada today.
00:27:36.99\00:27:38.45
>> Thank you.
00:27:38.45\00:27:39.45
>> Friends, we want to
00:27:41.49\00:27:42.42
recommend to you this little
00:27:42.42\00:27:44.19
book, our free offer, entitled
00:27:44.19\00:27:46.09
I Want More BLANK In My Life.
00:27:46.09\00:27:49.06
>> You fill in the blank.
00:27:49.63\00:27:51.53
I want more confidence and
00:27:51.53\00:27:53.27
resilience in my life, or I want
00:27:53.27\00:27:55.94
more peace, freedom, joy, hope,
00:27:55.94\00:27:58.94
rest, security, you name it.
00:27:58.94\00:28:02.31
This little book can help you
00:28:02.31\00:28:04.01
find what you're looking for.
00:28:04.01\00:28:06.55
The Bible tells us that Jesus
00:28:07.62\00:28:09.98
put His confidence fully in His
00:28:09.98\00:28:12.25
Father's word when He declared,
00:28:12.25\00:28:15.26
"It is written, 'Man shall not
00:28:15.26\00:28:17.49
live by bread alone, but by
00:28:17.49\00:28:20.00
every word that proceeds out of
00:28:20.00\00:28:22.46
the mouth of God.'"
00:28:22.46\00:28:23.97
>> Instead of viewing failure
00:28:24.93\00:28:26.47
like "I am a failure," perhaps
00:28:26.47\00:28:28.80
you failed at something, again,
00:28:28.80\00:28:30.54
that disconnection, but then
00:28:30.54\00:28:32.21
looking at that failure, what
00:28:32.21\00:28:34.14
can I learn?
00:28:34.14\00:28:35.21
What are the positive things
00:28:35.21\00:28:36.71
that I learned in this failure,
00:28:36.71\00:28:38.45
how can I apply them and being
00:28:38.45\00:28:40.88
willing to cultivate, like,
00:28:40.88\00:28:42.85
wisdom around the failure, but
00:28:42.85\00:28:45.02
not a adopt an attitude of
00:28:45.02\00:28:47.22
negativity.
00:28:47.22\00:28:48.36
So I become wiser, but I don't
00:28:48.36\00:28:51.23
become negative.
00:28:51.23\00:28:52.53
