Is it possible to live your life completely free from fear? Today, I propose that it is and explain how you can do it.
In a previous episode on this topic (Episode #355: Freedom From Your Fears), I talked about the differences between unconscious and conscious fears, why we are the ones who create nearly all of the fear we experience, and why it might not be possible to be fearless, but we can fear less.
However, today I'm returning to this topic to explain how each of us can release our fears completely and become truly FEARLESS.

Connect with Hal ElrodEvery day, we're faced with the reality that humanity is divided right now, possibly more than ever. I'm seeing people be outright hateful to each other, in ways I've simply never seen before. Even wishing harm upon others has become all too common. I fear that humanity is losing the shared values that are necessary for us to sustain peace and unity.
If you and I aren't the change we want to see in the world—if we don't stand for love, compassion, respect, forgiveness, freedom, and allowing each other the dignity to each choose how we live our lives—we, as a species, may be in more trouble than any of us can even imagine.
But how can we love, respect, and forgive people who have wronged us, or who we view as a threat to our own safety? How can we honor our own values while getting along with people who may not share our values? Is it possible for us to remember that we are ALL fundamentally the same—human beings on this journey we call life—and to focus on and find common ground in our shared humanity, as opposed to our relatively superficial differences?
In today's episode, I want to unpack these questions and really try to answer them. It starts with you, and it starts with me. I want to talk about how we treat and view other people, the bigger picture of what's going on with humanity, and what we can do to create unity and stop sowing division during this critical time in history.

Connect with Hal ElrodCan you remember that indescribable feeling of first falling in love with someone? What if that peak state could be activated within you, at any given time?
We often associate the word love with a romantic relationship. And when we fall in love with someone, we give all the credit for those feelings to that person. But the other person is really just the stimulus for achieving that state of being. The truth is, that state is always available to us, and some would argue, it's our default spiritual state.
We've been talking a lot lately about how to harness your ability to choose how you experience each moment of your life, regardless of your outer circumstances. Today, we're going to dive deeper into that theme from a different angle, specifically discussing how you can choose to make love your default way of experiencing life, even when life is difficult (aka sucks).

Connect with Hal ElrodFor today's podcast, I'm inviting you to choose to be either Person A or Person B, addressing the implications of the choice you make, and sharing insights on how to effectively choose.
There are huge differences between these two people, and choosing to be one over the other can determine our quality of life. For me, I've found that the conscious choice makes all the difference in my quality of life, my mental and emotional well-being, my degree of success and almost every other aspect of my being.
In this episode, I want to give you an eye-opening look into how you are choosing to show up and who you're choosing to be, no matter what's going on in the world or in your life.

Connect with Hal ElrodToday's podcast covers precisely how to experience two (2) types of freedom that we all want: Outer Freedom and Inner Freedom.
Outer Freedom is the ability to get yourself to do what you need to do—even when you don't feel like it—in order to produce the results, outcomes, and circumstances that you want, in every aspect of your life.
Inner Freedom is the ability to get yourself to feel exactly how you want to feel (happy, confident, calm, etc.), regardless of what's happening in your life.
How do you get yourself to do what you need to do–even when you don't feel motivated to do something? When you can do things that produce results, you have outer freedom.
How do you get yourself to feel the emotional and mental states that would enable you to enjoy this one life you've been given, even in the midst of tragedy, trauma, and forces outside of your control? When you access your ability to choose the way you feel, regardless of your circumstances, you have inner freedom.
In today's conversation, I'm going to share with you the most effective strategy I've ever implemented to achieve outer freedom. Then, I'm going to walk you through seven steps, in the form of questions, that you can use to quickly (if not immediately) access the inner freedom you were born with.

Connect with Hal ElrodToday's episode is a very real, raw, and authentic conversation with someone who's become a total inspiration to me, Eric Hansen. Despite living through unimaginable circumstances, he has figured out how to embody what I've been talking about for the past year… Inner Freedom.
Eric is a recovering drug addict who began using at the age of 12, raised by his mother who was also an addict. He has been homeless multiple times, and he's been in and out of jail and prison. While he was in prison, he discovered this podcast, and it transformed his outlook on life.
Currently out for four months, employed, and living in a halfway house, Eric is still navigating difficult health struggles and various painful consequences of his previous actions. However, his internal quality of life and his ability to experience the inner freedom that we all seek, are truly exceptional. He's building a following in the Miracle Morning Community Facebook group, where he has posted every single day, for 96 consecutive days.
I've been so inspired by him that I knew I needed to talk to him on the very same podcast that changed his life.
In this extraordinary conversation, Eric tells the story of how he fell from success to homelessness, how to recover from hitting rock-bottom, and how to truly take responsibility for–and choose how we experience–our lives.

Connect with Hal Elrod"How's life?" can often be a loaded question, especially with the state of the world right now. If you ask most people, they'll run through an inventory of their circumstances. You might hear them talk about what's going well, but, more often than not, you'll hear about their problems, financial challenges, difficulties at work, struggles in their marriage, or other less-than-stellar circumstances.
And when we're not talking about our problems/circumstances, we're thinking about them. We tend to listen to the voice in our head, stressing about the present and worrying about the future, and unconsciously allowing our emotional well-being to suffer.
But what if there is more to life than our circumstances? What if life is actually the experience we're having in the present moment? And what if you could learn how to transcend the voice in your head and live the majority of your life in the present moment?
In today's episode, I want to teach you two techniques you can use to stop the voice in your head from taking over and give you the power to truly live in the present moment. Even if you're already familiar with them, I want you to look at them in a new way, combine them, and discover how they can help you be here now–and live free from fear, stress, and anxiety.

Connect with Hal ElrodWhen you're experiencing stress, fear, anxiety, overwhelm, depression, or any other challenging emotional state, how can you regain control of the way you feel?
Today was supposed to be another "Ask Me Anything" episode, where I answer listener questions. However, as I began to address the first question: What do you believe about Jesus, God, and the Bible, I found myself thinking about the difficult situations and resulting emotions that many people are facing right now.
If you've experienced emotional distress, are concerned with the future, or are afraid of the unknown, today's episode will provide you with some practical advice you can use to rise above your challenges and take control of your emotional state.

Connect with Hal ElrodToday's episode of the podcast is going to cover three somewhat random and unrelated (yet very important) topics. I'm talking about:
Why these topics? In short, they all tie back to health, safety, freedom, and happiness.

Do you consider yourself to be an optimist, a pessimist, or a realist? Optimism, pessimism, and realism are three different paradigms that impact how we approach life and interpret life's events. For some, they're even identities.
When we face difficult times, our dominant paradigm tends to become amplified, which can be the determining factor in whether we suffer or thrive.
I've experienced this in a unique way. For many years of my life, I was what I would call a delusional optimist. While this helped me through some difficult times, it also stopped me from healthily processing negative emotions and events, and I had to learn quite a few tough lessons the hard way.
In this episode, I want to dive deep into the differences between optimism, pessimism, and realism–and help you identify how these paradigms can be most useful and effective as you optimize and make the most of the life you live.
