Hey, coming to you today from my mobile office at Waikiki Beach in Cape Disappointment State Park in Washington State. 

I often talk about the basics and I believe firmly in the basics... but I do believe there are new things that come along to look at. 

What I don't believe is all the stuff with hype.

Have you ever watched one of those videos that makes a promise, say weight loss or strength or flexibility or something, and they make you go through this 30 minute video with... you can't scroll forward, you can't scroll backwards, that you're kind of stuck in that. 

Or they have a sales page that goes on and on and on and on and on, and you can't stop reading because these guys are experts.

They know exactly what buttons to push to make you keep reading, get you to buy in... where you go, well, maybe this promise is something that could work for me. 

Well, the thing I found over the years... I've bought a lot of those things. So, uh, let me give you a warning. 

Don't buy into them. Every single time, it turns out that these guys expertise is marketing.

Is psychological marketing, getting to where you want something so badly, you will try it and they'll take selling and put a $1,900 price on it, but by the time they're done, it's only $39. 

But if you buy it, they're gonna try to upgrade you and get you up to much higher price. 

It's obvious. I've been through this, I've been through this a few times and every time I'm disappointed in the final product. 

In fact, a lot of the information in the final product they gave you in the sales page.

So I'm gonna recommend that you kind of stick to the basics. You find what works for you. Use tried and true methods of exercise, of eating and don't buy into this, hey, you can eat anything you want anytime you want, as much as you want. All you have to do is take my magic potion, pill or breathe this way or... or whatever. 

Because you can't, I'm sorry. You can't eat whatever you want whenever you want. You gotta get past the emotional eating issues. You gotta get past any trauma. You need to dull the emotions behind those, those trauma behind those emotional eatings... and you know, there are great ways to do that.

There's beautiful ways to do that. You can talk to a therapist, you can do EFT tapping, you can do meditation. The list goes on and on and on.

So please, if you get locked in a video where they won't let you fast forward, they won't let you go to a transcript, they won't let you rewind. They won't let you pause. Move on, move on from that. 

Okay? 

That's my, that's my tip for the day. 

May you move, well, may you stay healthy, may you be happy, and I guarantee you buying one of those ain't gonna make you happy.

Talk to you later.
