It's Sunday, let's go!

Before reading I want you to do four box breaths.

Exhale to a count of four, holding your lungs empty for a four-count, inhaling at the same pace, and holding air in your lungs for a count of four before exhaling.

Repeat 4 times.

❓Self-reflection question ❓

Reflect on your moments of self-sabotage.

Are there any patterns of thought or behaviour that run across them?

This is a really interesting question to reflect on.

Those moments where you let yourself down, think back to the behaviours and thoughts that led up to those situations.

Can you recognise any patterns?

Genetics Lab study on Tony Robbins event

Link to study

"A Stanford clinical research study of Robbins’ “Date With Destiny” program found 100% of participants with clinical depression were symptom-free 30 days after completion of the five-and-a-half-day course"

Tony Robbins – The world's top life and business strategist.

During his career, Robbins has coached more than 10 million people through group events, and more than 100 million digitally. Pre-COVID, he would visit, on average, 125 cities in more than a dozen countries each year.

    Robins before going online..." would normally go see a quarter of a million people over most years, some years a million people, but now, we had one the other day for six days; 800,000 people signed up, and then there are people joining them because it's in their home.

    Drug Therpay

    ONLY 40% RESPOND TO DRUG TREATMENTS FOR ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION

    According to metastudies (studies that combine and analyze all discoverable results), only about 40% of people respond to treatments for anxiety and depression, and of those that do, they only show an average of 50% improvement in their symptoms. Some studies have even shown response rate to be as little as 33%.*

    Date With Destiny

    100% OF THOSE STUDIED WERE DECLARED TO BE IN REMISSION 30 DAYS LATER

    Mirroring the structure of the study done with psilocybin, but without drugs, Stanford Genetics Lab conducted a controlled study at a Tony Robbins Date with Destiny event. Of the participants that were clinically depressed before the seminar, 30 days after the event, 100% of study participants who were depressed were in remission, and their average improvement was 87.2%. No drugs, and only 6 days of time. Additionally, at the beginning of the study, 17% of participants experienced suicidal thoughts. One month after Date with Destiny, none of the participants reported suicidal thoughts!

    “I’ve been doing research for almost 20 years and have published almost 300 papers. I’ve never seen anything like this. The results are absolutely incredible.”
