00:23 Hi friends, and welcome to another edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:28 I'm your host, Ron Giannoni, and with us in the studio today 00:32 is a good friend of mine, Anthony Acampora. 00:36 Now Anthony, this is his second trip here. 00:40 So we're going to show a clip now 00:43 of when he just arrived the second time. 00:48 I'm here because of excessive weight. 00:52 I'm up to about 323 pounds, 00:55 I would spend 10 to 12 hours a day at the casino, 01:00 and I'd be drinking beer basically the whole time. 01:03 So that's why I put on a lot of the weight. 01:06 Probably about 30 pounds of this is from the drinking. 01:10 I'm looking to lose about 25 to 30 pounds. 01:13 I think I can do that in 18 days. 01:16 I'm starting off walking a lot more 01:19 than I was last time in the beginning. 01:22 I didn't start walking a lot until 01:23 about the third or fourth day last time. 01:26 This time I already started walking. 01:27 I walked a mile and a half yesterday, 01:29 two miles today already. 01:30 So I want to definitely work on the weight. 01:33 I want to get my blood pressure down to normal again. 01:36 Last time I was on blood pressure medication, 01:38 and within 3 days I was off the medication, 01:41 and my blood pressure was normal, 01:44 just in about 3 or 4 days. 01:46 So I want to be able to do that again, 01:50 and also just mentally clear my head, 01:53 be able to focus more, get my concentration back, 01:58 because that's kind of clouded. 02:01 Those are the three main objectives. 02:06 Welcome back friends, and in our studio, 02:10 my friend Anthony Acamporo. 02:12 This is my "goombadah", as we say in Italian. 02:16 This is Anthony's second trip here. 02:19 Perhaps you can tell us, this second time around, 02:24 Why did you come back to NEWSTART? 02:26 Well basically I came back 02:29 because I went off the program. 02:30 I was on it for about a month or so. 02:33 I ended up going off. 02:34 When I left here I was on it about a month. 02:38 I just gained all the weight back, 02:40 plus another 15 or so pounds. 02:43 So I definitely felt the need to come back here. 02:47 I knew this is a place where I could get the weight off 02:49 and get my blood pressure under control. 02:53 So those were the two main factors. 02:56 And why did you choose the NEWSTART program? 02:59 Do you remember back the first time...? 03:01 My brother-in-law told me about it. 03:03 He was really big on this program. 03:05 He heard of someone that came through here that 03:08 actually had cancer, 03:09 and was kind of written off 03:11 and told to just go home and die. 03:14 And she's still alive today. 03:17 That was five years ago. 03:19 And he was extremely impressed. 03:21 He knew that person very well. 03:24 It was a very close friend of his. 03:26 So that's why he was really big on the program. 03:31 Now, let me say to our friends that are watching, 03:34 The first time Anthony was here I had 03:37 asked him to come on the NEWSTART Now program. 03:40 He said, "Oh yeah, I will." 03:41 But the last minute he backed out. 03:44 So this morning he's telling me, 03:46 "I'm not sure I want to do this." 03:48 Right? Yes. 03:49 Are you feeling nervous? A little bit. 03:51 But isn't it better now that we've gotten started? 03:52 Yeah, it's better. - Everything alright? 03:54 Maybe you can move your hands a little bit. 03:57 Sometimes we've got to talk with our hands. 03:59 Anyway, you're doing good. 04:00 Tell us how many pounds you've lost. 04:03 15.8 so far. 04:04 You've lost almost 16 pounds and 04:06 you've been here how many days? 04:09 Eight days. 04:10 So are you going to hit your goal of 25-30 pounds? 04:14 Yes. I should fall right in at about 28 if I keep up this pace. 04:18 Yeah. Now, I see a difference in you. 04:21 We've been talking for about a year on and off. 04:24 We'd text each other. 04:25 But I see a difference from day one. 04:27 What is different? What has 04:29 happened that this time, 04:31 maybe that's different from the last time you were here? 04:35 Well, this time I'm a lot more dedicated. 04:37 Last time there was a group of people 04:41 that weren't as dedicated, 04:42 and I kind of fell into that crowd. 04:44 Those were the people that I was kind of 04:46 hanging out with when I was here, 04:48 and it took me away from the program a little bit. 04:52 This time I'm totally focused. 04:54 I'm going to all the lectures, going to all the meetings, 04:57 and walking, doing a tremendous amount of walking, 05:03 and just really focused on the program. 05:06 Okay. I want to talk a little bit about your gambling, 05:09 because you shared with me, 05:11 and it blew my mind when you told me 05:14 how much you lost that one day. 05:16 Can you tell us this: 05:17 Gambling - is it a habit? Is it a sickness? 05:21 What's up with that? 05:22 It's a compulsion. 05:24 I mean, it's definitely something 05:29 that is hard to get away from. 05:31 It's hard to just walk away. 05:33 It's obviously hard to just walk away when you win. 05:36 If people could do that, 05:39 there'd be a lot of rich people out there. 05:42 Didn't you have almost $200,000 on the table 05:45 at one time? You could have just walked away? 05:48 I had $187,000 that I won, 05:51 and yeah, I didn't walk away. I ended up 05:54 continuing to play, 05:56 well into the night and into the next day, 05:59 and I ended up losing the whole amount. 06:01 And while you were there you were drinking excessively. 06:04 Yeah. It got to the point 06:07 where I was drinking just to play, 06:08 because I would get so anxious when I was playing, 06:11 after losing these big amounts 06:12 and playing for really large amounts. 06:15 I would drink just so I would be calm enough to play. 06:20 So the drinking went hand in hand. 06:22 First it was drinking to.... 06:26 It wasn't really drinking just to be able to play. 06:30 It was more just drinking because I was there 06:32 and wanted the excitement of everything. 06:34 But it got to the point where the drinking was, 06:38 it was excessive. 06:41 Now, you also told me you had been depressed. 06:44 Was this because you had lost $187,000? 06:48 Was it something you had been dealing with a long time? 06:51 Do you notice any change since you've been back? 06:55 Yeah. The depression I got about three years ago, 06:59 really bad depression and anxiety. 07:04 I've been dealing with it for a while now, 07:08 and it definitely got worse with the gambling. 07:12 That did not help at all. 07:15 It does not help your mind at all, 07:16 especially when you start losing these amounts. 07:20 So since I've been here, 07:23 probably about the third or fourth day, 07:27 I noticed a little bit of a break in the depression. 07:30 I'm starting to think a little bit more clearly, 07:33 and I'm more positive and more 07:35 focused on the program here. 07:39 So you feel this time you're more dedicated, 07:43 and it shows in the weight you've lost, 07:47 the miles you're walking, 07:49 and maybe you can tell us 07:50 how many miles a day you're walking now. 07:52 I'm walking about four and a half to five miles a day. 07:55 Do you find that difficult? 07:57 No. You start it off early in the morning 07:59 after the stretchercise, 08:01 and you do a half-mile or a mile then, and it just 08:04 goes from there. Everybody always wants to take a walk, 08:07 so it really goes by pretty quickly. 08:09 Good. And your blood pressure, 08:12 the last time you were here, 08:13 you got off your blood pressure medications. 08:16 How long was it after you started here? 08:18 Three days. 08:20 And you got off all the meds? 08:22 I got off the medication in three days. 08:24 The blood pressure medication I haven't been on since. 08:27 And how's your blood pressure today, Anthony? 08:29 Today was actually, 08:31 when Dr. Ing just took it, it was 114 over 78. 08:34 Wow! I would say that's incredible. 08:37 So, you've been able to control your blood pressure 08:40 by this lifestyle? 08:42 Absolutely. Okay. 08:44 Now, I have to ask you this question. 08:46 You're going to be leaving here in about a week, right? 08:49 What are you going to do 08:51 this time that's going to be different than last time? 08:54 Well, I'm just...you have to stick to the program. 08:57 I mean, the way it's presented in the lectures, 09:00 even last night with Dr. Ing's lecture, 09:03 if you cheat at all you're affecting your 09:07 arteries and things like that. 09:10 So I'm going to just 100 percent stay with the program. 09:13 The walking shouldn't be a problem at all. 09:15 I don't mind the walking. 09:17 But as far as the diet, 09:18 that's gonna be the key, 09:20 and I have to just stick with it. 09:21 So let me tell our friends what Anthony is talking about here. 09:26 The program he refers to is a lifestyle. 09:30 It's no different than the lifestyle 09:32 you're leading today, except maybe it 09:34 might change what you're eating, 09:36 the exercise you may be doing or not doing, 09:39 the water and sunshine and all the 09:42 other things that we teach here at the NEWSTART program. 09:45 So when he says program, 09:47 he's really talking about a lifestyle. 09:49 Wouldn't you agree? 09:50 Yeah. Absolutely. 09:52 So you feel stronger, 09:53 you feel like you really own it now, right? 09:56 Yes. And so 09:57 you're going to leave here with the right attitude 10:00 and go back there and maybe help someone else. 10:02 Sure. Yep. 10:04 Now I feel a hundred percent better. 10:07 Good. I really do. 10:08 Anthony, I want to thank you for joining us in the studio. 10:11 God bless you, and I wish you all the luck. 10:14 And I know we'll be talking. 10:15 Friends, thank you for joining us. 10:17 Do not go away! 10:18 We'll be right back. 10:21 Well, you've done very well. 10:29 Do you have diabetes, 10:30 heart disease, high blood pressure, 10:33 or do you weigh too much? 10:35 Hi, my name is Doctor Ing, 10:37 and I'd like to tell you about 10:38 our 18-day NEWSTART lifestyle program. 10:42 It includes a comprehensive medical evalation 10:44 with labratory studies 10:46 and an exercise stress test, 10:47 physician consultations, 10:50 culinary school, 10:52 and an opportunity to walk on beautiful trails 10:55 in the foothills of the Sierras. 10:59 Your health is one of the most important things that you have. 11:02 Don't wait. 11:03 Give us a call 11:08 or visit our website. 11:27 Hi friends, and welcome back. 11:29 As I promised, Dr. Clarence Ing. 11:31 Good to be here, Ron. 11:32 It's always good to see you, Doctor. 11:34 We're going to talk about a guy 11:36 that happens to be one of my good friends. 11:39 As we say in Italian, he's my "goombadah", 11:42 Anthony Acampora. 11:44 And I know.... 11:45 It wouldn't be because he happens to be Italian, would it? 11:48 Oh! that's exactly it. 11:50 You know, this is his second visit with us here, 11:53 and I know that he slipped a little bit, 11:56 and I'd like to get this message out the viewers. 12:00 You know, some people leave here 12:02 and then they don't always stay on the program. 12:05 Anthony is one of these examples. 12:07 Can you tell us a little bit about his stay here, Doc? 12:10 Well Anthony came in, and he's a 12:14 very delightful individual. 12:16 And as I met him, 12:19 one of the things that I do when I examine the patients, 12:24 first thing I do is I check their vision. 12:26 I want to see how well they see. 12:28 Then I take them into the next room 12:30 where I see how tall they are, 12:32 and I see how much they weigh. 12:34 And then after I see how much they weigh, 12:36 then I can tell them how tall they need to grow. 12:40 If they're too short. 12:42 Because some of the patients here, 12:44 they're really not overweight, 12:45 they're just too short. They haven't grown tall enough. 12:48 But Anthony, he was huge 12:50 when he came back. 12:51 He was what, 325 pounds? 12:54 Three hundred and some.... He was over 300 pounds. 12:57 And I think that was more than when he 12:59 came the first time, 13:01 and definitely more than when he left. 13:03 The first time he left I think he lost 10 or 15 pounds. 13:06 But this time he said, 13:09 "I'm serious. I'm going to lose some weight." 13:11 And he was, and he did really well! 13:14 In fact, as we, 13:16 as I monitored him and walked, 13:18 he ended up losing about 25 pounds, 13:22 almost 26 pounds. 13:24 And he was very pleased about that. 13:26 But he worked at that, you know. 13:28 He ate modest amounts of foods, 13:30 he didn't eat his supper, 13:32 he didn't eat the evening meal, 13:34 and he walked very faithfully.j 13:37 Now, you advised me when I came through the program, 13:39 if I wanted to lost weight fast 13:42 and get my blood sugar down, 13:44 to skip the evening meal. 13:46 Can you tell us about that briefly? 13:47 Yeah, that's really important, because 13:50 when you eat in the morning, 13:52 you've been resting. 13:53 Your stomach is rested, 13:55 your gastrointestinal tract is rested, 13:57 and you're hungry. So that's a good time to go eat. 14:00 And then after you eat you get out and you do things. 14:04 But what happens if 14:06 we eat a late evening meal, 14:07 as is the custom here in the United States? 14:10 You know, you have a meal that 14:11 you eat at 6 or 7 or 8 in the evening, 14:15 And after that, how many people are going to go out 14:18 and exercise and walk 3 or 4 miles? 14:20 Not very many. 14:21 So what they do is they 14:23 sit down in their easy chair and they 14:25 turn on the television or the computer, 14:27 and they sit the rest of the evening. 14:30 And all of those calories that they've taken in 14:32 have to be stored. 14:34 Some of them are stored as glycogen, 14:36 which is, when the glucose gets 14:37 into the cell it's stored as glycogen. 14:40 But the rest of them are stored as something called fat. 14:43 And most people... 14:45 A lot of people are concerned 14:46 that they have a little bit too much fat. 14:48 So they don't want to do that. 14:49 So if you're really serious about losing weight, 14:52 since we can't help you grow taller, 14:54 one of the most effective ways is 14:56 regular exercise, 14:58 walking three or four miles every day, 15:01 and eliminating the evening meal. 15:03 And we're even able to do this 15:05 on people who have diabetes. 15:06 We work with them on adjusting their medication. 15:08 And when we do this, 15:10 they don't have problems with low blood sugar, 15:12 and the people do very well, 15:15 and it makes it a lot easier for them to 15:18 change their weight, 15:19 and they're really pleased and happy about that. 15:21 But even the people that do eat... 15:23 Some people tell me, 15:24 "Look, I just can't stop from eating." 15:27 Well I advise them, when they call and ask, 15:30 "Well then, you'd better walk after you eat." 15:32 How much time would you say is necessary 15:35 if I'm going to have a big plate of pasta? 15:39 Well that depends what kind of sauce you put on the pasta. 15:42 If it wasn't alfredo or cheese, 15:45 you wouldn't have to walk as far. 15:47 If you put on a cheese sauce, you're going to have to walk 15:49 a lot further, because 15:51 cheese has a lot of calories, and if 15:53 they sprinkle lots of parmesan on there, 15:55 which we don't advise or recommend because 15:58 cheese actually is really high in fat, 16:00 high in saturated fat, 16:02 and cheese is more deadly and worse for you 16:04 than eating meat, red meat. 16:07 So, an hour after dinner? Is that enough? 16:10 To walk for an hour? 16:12 Yeah, if you walk for an hour 16:13 at 20 minutes per mile, 16:14 you're only going to burn up 300 calories. 16:16 And most people are going to eat 16:17 more than 300 calories in their evening meal. 16:20 Especially in that pasta. Yeah. 16:21 They're going to probably consume 16:23 600, 700, 800 calories. 16:25 and if they had some garlic bread with 16:28 butter, and other things, 16:30 they can easily consume 1,000 calories. 16:33 Well, to walk off 1,000 calories, 16:36 that's going to be 10 miles, 16:38 and if you walk at 3 miles an hour, 16:40 10 miles is going to take you 16:41 3 hours and 20 minutes. 16:43 So I'm better off 16:44 passing on the dinner, right? 16:46 Yeah, it's a lot easier to lose weight 16:47 by just eating a little bit less. 16:49 Now Anthony also had elevated blood sugar. 16:52 Yeah, he had an elevated blood sugar when he came. 16:55 But he wasn't diabetic? 16:57 No, no, he wasn't diabetic. 17:00 Normal blood sugar is 99 or less. 17:04 Diagnosis of diabetes is 126 17:07 milligrams per deciliter or higher. 17:09 Then that confirms diabetes. 17:11 But if you're between 100 and 125, 17:14 the term is "impaired fasting glucose". 17:16 And if you're in that area, and that's where Anthony was, 17:19 then your risk of developing diabetes 17:21 is about 15 times higher 17:22 than that of a person who doesn't, 17:24 who has a normal blood sugar of 99 or less. 17:27 Is that area called prediabetic? 17:30 It's often called prediabetic, that's right. 17:33 And the neat thing is, 17:34 when we repeated his blood test 2 weeks later, 17:38 his blood sugar now was down in the 80s. 17:40 It was perfectly normal, 17:41 and he was very happy about that, and so was I, 17:44 because he had dramatically lowered 17:47 his risk for getting diabetes. 17:49 The other thing that lowered his risk 17:51 was the walking and the weight loss. 17:53 And what about the blood pressure? 17:55 That came down obviously... 17:56 Yeah, his blood pressure came down as well, 17:59 so that was very good. 18:00 Now, I know you can't do anything about the gambling, 18:04 but I know that Anthony was depressed. 18:07 He shared with us. 18:08 Were you able to help him in that area? 18:12 Well, what I try to encourage the people to do is 18:15 if you recognize you've got a problem 18:17 in a certain area of your life, 18:19 take it to God. 18:20 And when you want to take it to God, 18:22 you pray to the Lord, 18:23 and you want to pray positively about what you want to become. 18:27 Don't pray about the problem. 18:29 If I'm impatient, 18:31 and if I have a short temper, 18:33 and I'm rude and unkind and uncourteous, 18:36 don't say, "Dear Lord, I am so 18:38 impatient, so unkind, so discourteous, 18:40 so uncaring." 18:42 Pray positively about what you want to become. 18:44 Say, "Dear Lord, help me to become more 18:46 patient, more loving, more gentle, 18:48 more thoughtful and more considerate." 18:50 Then I'm dwelling upon the positive aspects 18:52 that I want to become like, 18:54 you know, become more like Jesus, 18:56 because that's the way that He was. 18:57 I don't want to dwell upon the negative parts that I have. 19:00 Yes, I have them, and I recognize that. 19:02 But I don't want to dwell upon that. 19:04 I want to dwell upon what I can become with God's help. 19:07 And the awesome thing about God is, 19:09 God never says, 19:12 "This is what you need to become, 19:13 this is what you need to do. 19:15 You're on your own. 19:17 I'm really kind of busy, 19:18 don't bother Me." No, He says, 19:19 "This is what I want you to become. 19:21 And by the way, everything you need 19:24 to help you become what I want you to become, 19:26 I offer you the power and the strength to do it. 19:28 All you've got to do is talk to Me and ask Me for it. 19:30 Ask Me for that help every day." 19:32 Spend some time with God, 19:34 time alone with God every day. 19:36 That's the secret of the power in the Christian life. 19:39 Surrender your life and your will to Him. 19:42 I surrender my life and my will to Him 19:44 every day and say, "Lord, 19:47 my day is starting with You. 19:49 Here's what's going to be before me. 19:51 What do we need to do 19:52 to make it a success, 19:54 that I can give You the honor and glory, 19:56 and help someone else along life's journey?" 19:59 Well, I see this with people who 20:02 I interview. They oftentimes say, 20:05 "You folks up here are so wonderful. 20:07 Everyone prays with us, etc." 20:09 Is this something that we do with every guest? 20:13 We pray with them, and...? 20:15 Can they come for counsel, 20:17 and learn about the Bible and God? 20:20 Absolutely. If they are interested 20:21 in learning about the Bible 20:23 and learning about God, 20:24 we have staff who are very happy 20:27 to study with them. 20:28 Our chaplain, or my wife May - either one. 20:31 In fact, I tell them that at the beginning. 20:33 If you're really not sure about 20:35 the possibility of living for eternity, 20:38 and you haven't really answered that question about 20:41 God's gift of eternal life, 20:42 that's something really important 20:44 you need to find out about. 20:46 And please, talk to Viola our chaplain, 20:48 or talk to my wife May. 20:50 They'll be happy to help you find the answer to that 20:52 very important question, 20:54 the question we should never ignore, 20:56 and all of us need to answer for ourselves. 20:59 Well Doctor Ing, as usual, it's always a 21:01 pleasure to have you here, 21:03 and I thank you for coming 21:05 on set and taking your valuable time. 21:07 It's great to be here. Have a wonderful day. 21:10 Friends, thank you for joining us. 21:13 I know you have family or friends that perhaps 21:16 need to come to the NEWSTART program. 21:19 Pick up the phone and call us at: 21:24 God bless you. 21:25 Don't go away! 21:41 Hello, and welcome to NEWSTART at Home. 21:42 I'm your host, Don Mackintosh. 21:43 We're glad that you're joining us today, 21:45 because we have a special guest. 21:47 Actually not really a guest, 21:49 he's around these parts quite a bit, Dr. Neil Nedley. 21:51 Welcome, Doctor Nedley. 21:53 Thank you. It's good to be here. 21:54 You are a physician 21:56 that specializes in internal medicine, 21:58 but a couple years ago you told me that 1 in 3 patients you see 22:01 has emotional or depression-type problems, 22:05 so you're interested now in the field of mental health. 22:08 Yes, actually, the brain is an internal organ, 22:11 so it's still not off limits for an internal medicine doctor. 22:15 And we find out a lot of diseases 22:17 have their origin in the mind. 22:18 Even heart disease, when we know 22:20 what we should do to reverse heart disease, 22:22 and we're not doing it, 22:24 what's the problem? 22:25 I guess in the mind. 22:27 The problem is there in the mind. 22:28 So that's really what has piqued 22:29 my interest in regards to helping 22:31 physical disease by actually helping the mind. 22:34 So, emotional intelligence. 22:36 Our emotions sometimes lead us and guide us, 22:38 but they can mislead us and misguide us. 22:40 You want to talk about that? 22:41 Yeah, that's correct. In fact, studies show 22:43 that your emotional intelligence is what is critically related 22:47 to not only your happiness, 22:49 but your success in life. 22:51 And how intelligent you are in regards to IQ 22:54 has to do with the first job 22:55 that you're going to get out of college. 22:57 That's how important that is. 22:58 But how far you advance in that job 23:00 is not at all related to your IQ. 23:02 It's related to your emotional intelligence. 23:04 And so this is critically important 23:07 to your success, your influence, 23:09 and really your general satisfaction 23:12 and happiness in your relationships. 23:14 So there are common distortions people have 23:17 in their emotions that can lead them astray. 23:19 You're going to go through a couple of those with us. 23:21 Yes, that's right. Actually there are 23:22 ten ways of distorted thinking, 23:25 and if we can learn those ten ways of distorted thinking, 23:28 and correct those ten ways, 23:29 we can significantly improve our emotional intelligence. 23:32 One of them, you said, is "all or nothing thinking". 23:35 Yeah, all or nothing thinking. 23:37 Now, some of the time that's correct, 23:38 but most of the time all or nothing thinking is incorrect. 23:42 An example of this would be 23:44 someone who lost the race for Congress 23:46 and comes into my office and says, 23:48 "Doctor Nedley, I'm a big zero. 23:50 I lost the race for Congress." 23:51 Does that mean he's a big zero? No. 23:53 Because you get a divorce, 23:55 does that mean you're a big zero? 23:56 No. But that's where all or nothing thinking leads to. 23:59 Even in the Bible, 24:01 Esau had this. 24:03 When Jacob asked him 24:05 if he was willing to sell his birthright 24:07 for the bowl of lentils.... 24:08 And he'd been out hunting all day. 24:10 He was starved and he was weak 24:12 at that point. 24:13 But he says, "If don't eat these lentils now, 24:15 I'm going to die." 24:18 All or nothing thinking. 24:19 And he sold his birthright due to all or nothing thinking, 24:21 and did his emotions run out of control 24:23 as a result of that? 24:25 Of course. Absolutely. 24:26 I like lentils, but I don't know if I'd go that far. 24:29 The next one you said was overgeneralization. 24:32 Yeah, overgeneralization. 24:34 An example of that was a good friend of mine in college 24:37 who had his eye on a girl for about six months 24:39 before he mustered up enough courage to ask her out. 24:42 And we thought he had a good likelihood of success. 24:44 He was goodlooking, he was smart, he was engaging. 24:47 But she turned him down. 24:48 And he comes back to the dorm and he says, 24:50 "Neil, I'm destined to be lonely 24:52 and miserable the rest of my life." 24:55 And he had tears in his eyes, 24:59 and he overgeneralized in a couple of ways. 25:02 First I said, "What did she say for him to say that?" 25:05 And it turns out she had told him 25:06 she had another event to go to. 25:08 And I said, "So you conclude this?" 25:10 And he says, "Well I got to thinking, 25:11 if she just thought half as much about me as I think about her, 25:14 she would have canceled that event and gone along with me. 25:16 So I'm destined to be lonely 25:17 and miserable the rest of my life." 25:19 Well he had assumed because she turned him down once 25:21 she was always going to turn him down. 25:23 And he also over- generalized by thinking 25:25 that 100 percent of eligible women 25:27 had identical taste to hers. 25:29 And thus he would be endlessly rejected the rest of his life. 25:32 So this was definitely overgeneralizing. 25:35 Overgeneralizing is really taking the hypothesis 25:39 and actually putting it into a fact, 25:41 rather than a hypothesis, 25:42 or generalizing from too few instances. 25:45 So, in your seminar, 25:47 in helping people with reversing depression 25:49 or getting more emotionally stable, 25:51 you go through these types of things. 25:53 Yes, and actually, it's not just for people with depression. 25:56 We all have tendencies to think distorted thoughts, 26:00 and many times we need to back up 26:02 and say, "How true is that?" 26:04 "Is it really completely true?" 26:07 And often our feelings and emotions are bent out of shape 26:10 over things that aren't really completely true. 26:13 Like Will Rogers says, "It's not what we 26:15 don't know that hurts us so much, 26:17 it's what we know for sure that just ain't so." 26:22 Well thank you so much for joining us, Doctor Nedley. 26:24 Thank you for joining us, as well. 26:26 We encourage you to go to the website, 26:30 and we know that your 26:31 emotional intelligence will increase 26:32 if you look at these principles. 26:34 Thanks for joining us. 26:43 Hi.
