Personal Development Experiment: Acupuncture Week 2

By JB Glossinger | Published December 8, 2011

I am starting to document some of the personal development experiments that I am doing here on the MorningCoach.com blog. I think it is important that in my quest to gain more knowledge and find the best in human performance and development I start to open up some of the research I am doing. That does not mean that I am recommending the things that I am experimenting with. It means that I am going to just let the MorningCoach.com members into my life a little more. Always remember, when it comes to fitness, exercise, or anything to do with your health, consult your local health care professional. These are my experiences not to be construed as medical advice.

Last week was my first week at Yangs Acupuncture. I am going for general health purposes. I am not looking to “fix” anything I am doing this to improve my performance and have an overall better quality of life.

This week I headed in for my second week with the needles. I have to say I had zero pain on the needle insertion this week. They where placed in the standard areas of the neck, head, arms, legs, knees, and elbows. I had a slight twinge of pain when he placed one in my foot but other then that I was good.

I relaxed for twenty or thirty minutes and the Doctor came back in to take the needles out. It was a pretty uneventful second trip until he said he had Chinese Herbs for me this week. I was like, “super cool!” He brought me in these two herbs combinations. One for kidneys and the other for stress.

The fist one for stress is Shu Gan Wan. I have to take six of these very tiny globes three times a day thirty minutes after meals. The other one for the kidneys is Wu Zi Yan Zong. I have to take eight of these in the same matter thirty minutes after meals.

I started the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) herbal treatment today with my first 14 globules just after lunch.

Personal Development Experiment: Acupuncture Week 2

My Chinese Herbs for the Week (Numbers Are How Many I Need To Take)

I am going through green week here at the annual Mike Lee Kanarek boot camp so I have been pretty rundown all week. We are detoxifying this week and letting the inflammation in our body go down. I have not been 100% in fact I am running at about 80%.

One thing I can say about acupuncture is when I finish I just have massive energy. It is like a switch comes on. My feeling on well being and happiness is off the chart. More so then when I do normal personal development such as reading or meditating. I am not sure why, but it is really working for me. Since it is green week I have not had the massive training regiment that I normally go through. Next week I will be able to report more of the physical progress that I am making. But overall after two weeks. I feel less stressed and more relaxed. Plus, just happier.

This personal development experiment has been a great one so far. Much more to come as I get into more of the weeks. We are just getting started and my energy levels are off the charts.

The Sleep Experiment – Living with ZEO the Sleep Expert

By JB Glossinger | Published December 5, 2011


Learn about Zeo, a new home sleep monitor

I am really getting into the quantified self movement. I am starting to track a lot of different areas in my life. I feel that the more personal data you can have on yourself the better your health, energy and quality of life will be. One of the coolest areas that I am now tracking is sleep with the ZEO.

ZEO is the real interesting piece of equipment. It is truly a personal sleep coach in a device. A few nights a week I slip on my ZEO headband. This measures your sleep patterns using ZEO’s Softwave sensor technology, which has been scientifically-demonstrated for accuracy. It takes a little getting used to, but I find it does not disrupt my sleep at all.

The cool thing is I am using the bed side display. It looks like a regular alarm clock (opportunity clock here at MC). It is great it tracks things like how long it took me to fall asleep, how much restorative sleep I got and my ZQ score. The ZQ score is really what I love. It is a simple number that represents how I slept.

The other feature I really like is SmartWake it is a special option in which ZEO searches for the optimal time to wake you based on your sleep patterns so you can start the day more easily. This is a fantastic tool.

The deeper feature with ZEO is the myZEO online program. I have not really explored it totally yet, but it allows you to input data directly from ZEO. Then you can track many sleep trends over time. You can also learn the latest in sleep research. This is a very powerful program.

It is an amazing device. They even have a new mobile device that works with the iPhone. Super Cool!

The question that I get asked the most is, “how does it help you sleep?”

Having the data for me is the key. The ZQ score is what I truly like to work with. What I do is write down the activities I did for the day and  track the food I ate in my food journal. I look for the correlation between a high ZQ score and an activity I did or a food I consumed.

If I am training super hard one day and need a great night sleep. I look at my journal to see what I did to get that great ZQ score before. By replicating that meal or activity I then can get a better night sleep. As busy as I am I try to keep my research simple. This really works for me.

I also do tests. I will play an action game on my PS3 and then go to bed to see the score. It is amazing that if I play a game right before I go to bed how bad I sleep. I also have tested reading. It is amazing the difference between non-fiction and fiction scores. I sleep better after fiction then non-fiction. I have also tested spiritual texts and personal development books. Both of those came in pretty close with good ZQ scores.

As you can see you can test many things. What I love about it is it is your data, not someone else’s. You are truly working on your sleep score looking to improve.

With ZEO you can run your own experiments to work on getting your best night sleep.

I do not have sleep issues. If you do. I would recommend getting even deeper with the myZEO online program. There is an amazing amount of detail and information there. The ZEO team are truly the experts in the sleep arena.

I don’t recommend too many products, but I love my ZEO. To get yours just click on the banner below and you can order directly from ZEO. We will also include a link in our daily newsletter. Be sure to post in the community some of the experiments you are running I would love to hear some of them. We can all learn to get a better night sleep. Getting up with amazing energy comes from a good night sleep. I believe ZEO can help you do that.

Steve Job’s Reality Distortion Field

By JB Glossinger | Published November 30, 2011

It was coined by Bud Tribble at Apple to describe Steve Job’s charisma and the way he just got things done. It was Steve Jobs way of pushing the impossible.

The question then is did Steve Jobs truly distort reality?

I personally believe he did. I believe that the social proof is how large and how creative Apple became under his leadership. You look at was attainted over the course of his life and I can only say one word. AMAZING.

I think the issue with understanding reality is that people are expecting changes instantaneously. They want to manifest a material world with no issues, no problems, and total Utopia. The problem with this logic is that reality (though I think you can attain) is not truly what people want.

Life is about experience and growth. It is about solving issues and contributing. It is not about some magician waving a wand and having all your dreams come true. The genie does exist but it comes from getting clear and doing the daily work. Think of the daily work you do on yourself as rubbing the lamb. As you rub the lamp more dreams and wishes come true. You also get more clear about what you truly want. Which is the bottom line issue.

If Steve Jobs could and did distort reality then you can to. What are you listening to? Who are you surrounded by? Could these things be distorting your realty now? Could they be stopping you creating the experience you are after?

Success leaves clues. It truly does. Look around for the social proof of other beings that are doing remarkable things. It is an amazing time to be alive. Believe that and watch your reality start to change.

Many blessings to you. Focus on your own personal growth and keep moving forward. Remember, it only takes 1% improvement everyday. Just make sure you are working on  it.

Bringing some new ideas and thoughts to the MC blog

By JB Glossinger | Published November 29, 2011

I am happy to announce that we are going to be bringing some new ideas and thoughts to the blog. We are currently working to make the entire MorningCoach.com movement a more positive experience for everyone. We are going to do that through updating the website and bringing you some very unique tools and ideas. We are also going to experiment with some new ways to deliver content such as video and these blogs.

I think you are going to find them informative as well as fun. This week I am going to do some blogging on the history of MorningCoach.com and personal development as a whole. I think it is interesting how we have come this far and yet have so far to go. That is what is so great about it. The journey.

Of course none of this would be possible without you as a member. Our goal of helping move the consciousness of the planet forward is a huge one and it is this community that fuels the engine. I thank you very much for that. It is going to be an amazing ride as we will be brining you some amazing things over the next few months. I am working on the best content that I have ever put together for the new year.

MorningCoach.com is the social proof that what we believe in truly works. It is time for us all to start to have that belief and to have the entire MorningCoach.com as social proof.

On that note look for new content in the form of blog posts, videos, articles, etc… Also, if you would like to contribute your skills or create some great content to share with the community,  please feel free to e-mail it to us at anytime. We just need to have permission to use it and it has to be original content.

Have a fantastic week and look for some amazing things to come. 2012 is going to be the best year every!!

Always smiling,

JB Glossinger
