00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,689
What is crackin family?

2
00:00:01,860 --> 00:00:06,839
Sean Osborn here, coming at
you with another episode of
the Thinking Big podcast.

3
00:00:07,169 --> 00:00:15,309
And today, we are diving into some
old school self help magic that is
so simple, it'll make your head spin.

4
00:00:15,310 --> 00:00:16,616
We're Method, baby.

5
00:00:19,302 --> 00:00:19,892
All right.

6
00:00:19,912 --> 00:00:22,082
Let's kick things off with a bang.

7
00:00:22,472 --> 00:00:30,862
Imagine a dude, so ahead of his
time, he was dropping knowledge
bombs about the power of the
mind way back in the early 1900s.

8
00:00:31,112 --> 00:00:38,542
The guy, Emil Quay, was like
the Tony Robbins of his day,
but with a fancy French accent.

9
00:00:38,767 --> 00:00:40,677
And probably a killer mustache.

10
00:00:41,157 --> 00:00:52,267
Now I know what you're thinking,
Sean, are you seriously going to tell
us about some dusty old self help
theory, but hold on to your clapbacks
because this isn't just a theory.

11
00:00:52,577 --> 00:00:58,187
This is the OG of autosuggestion,
the the granddaddy of act as if
the, I mean, you get the idea.

12
00:00:58,737 --> 00:00:59,667
So let's break it down.

13
00:00:59,957 --> 00:01:03,367
Quay spent 20 years, that's right,
two decades studying one thing.

14
00:01:03,657 --> 00:01:05,907
How to help people help themselves.

15
00:01:06,317 --> 00:01:10,657
He wasn't interested in fame, fortune,
or building a YouTube following.

16
00:01:10,937 --> 00:01:13,617
Now this dude was all about
the humanitarian life.

17
00:01:13,897 --> 00:01:16,387
So what's the big deal
about the Quay method?

18
00:01:16,807 --> 00:01:19,577
Well, it's all about harnessing
the power of your imagination.

19
00:01:20,226 --> 00:01:28,026
figured out that our subconscious mind
is like wild stallions, powerful, but
totally and absolutely out of control.

20
00:01:28,621 --> 00:01:33,881
His method is about taming the
beast and making it work for
you instead of against you.

21
00:01:34,421 --> 00:01:36,841
Now here's where it gets crazy simple.

22
00:01:37,231 --> 00:01:38,171
Are you ready for this?

23
00:01:38,801 --> 00:01:42,201
The whole method boils
down to one simple phrase.

24
00:01:42,411 --> 00:01:42,681
That's right.

25
00:01:42,891 --> 00:01:44,041
One simple phrase.

26
00:01:44,321 --> 00:01:45,271
And here, are you, are you ready?

27
00:01:45,331 --> 00:01:46,371
Are you sure you're ready for it?

28
00:01:46,371 --> 00:01:46,751
Here it is.

29
00:01:47,431 --> 00:01:50,661
Every day in every way, I'm
getting better and better.

30
00:01:51,221 --> 00:01:51,891
That's it.

31
00:01:52,551 --> 00:01:55,981
I know, I know you're probably thinking,
Sean, that, that's, that's all it is?

32
00:01:56,041 --> 00:01:57,441
That's the big secret?

33
00:01:57,951 --> 00:01:58,761
But hear me out.

34
00:01:58,931 --> 00:02:01,841
This isn't just some
feel good mumbo jumbo.

35
00:02:02,281 --> 00:02:08,901
This is about rewiring your
brain, reprogramming your mental
software to start working for
you instead of against you.

36
00:02:09,521 --> 00:02:10,891
And here's how you do it.

37
00:02:11,371 --> 00:02:13,401
Just find a comfortable spot.

38
00:02:13,731 --> 00:02:17,051
Your bed, your favorite chair,
wherever it is that you can chill.

39
00:02:17,451 --> 00:02:23,321
Close your eyes, relax, and just let
the tension melt away like ice cream
on a hot sidewalk here in Houston.

40
00:02:23,941 --> 00:02:27,251
Now with passion and energy, this
is the, this, this is where it's at.

41
00:02:27,261 --> 00:02:30,621
With passion and energy,
repeat the phrase 20 times.

42
00:02:31,141 --> 00:02:33,121
Do this every morning and every night.

43
00:02:33,181 --> 00:02:35,121
No excuses, no days off.

44
00:02:35,121 --> 00:02:44,211
Every time, 20 times straight with
passion every day in every way
I am getting better and better.

45
00:02:45,111 --> 00:02:48,661
Now, while saying this, you've got
to let your imagination run wild.

46
00:02:49,001 --> 00:02:53,361
Don't focus on your problems or
your aches and pains at my age.

47
00:02:53,821 --> 00:02:59,371
Just let that positive vibe
flow through you like you
just drank a case of Red Bull.

48
00:02:59,741 --> 00:03:00,651
High and mighty.

49
00:03:01,057 --> 00:03:04,247
Quay was all about
imagination over willpower.

50
00:03:04,657 --> 00:03:10,727
He said trying to force yourself to
feel better is like trying to open
a door by pushing when it says pull.

51
00:03:11,337 --> 00:03:14,937
You're just going to end up frustrated
and probably with bruised shoulders.

52
00:03:15,557 --> 00:03:22,967
Now I know some of you skeptics are
out there rolling your eyes so hard
that they might fall out of the back
of your head, but check this out.

53
00:03:23,517 --> 00:03:26,847
People were getting cured of stuff
that doctors said were incurable.

54
00:03:27,107 --> 00:03:30,797
We're talking paralysis,
tuberculosis, even spine problems.

55
00:03:31,057 --> 00:03:34,657
It's like Quay was running
a real life X Men school.

56
00:03:35,182 --> 00:03:40,792
But instead of shooting lasers from
their eyes, people were zapping away
their illnesses with their minds.

57
00:03:41,512 --> 00:03:43,422
Let me hit you with a
story that I read about.

58
00:03:43,472 --> 00:03:46,232
The person had horrible
face pain, neuritis.

59
00:03:46,632 --> 00:03:49,682
Doctors told them, sorry bro,
there is nothing we can do.

60
00:03:50,152 --> 00:03:51,932
But then they tried the Quay method.

61
00:03:52,432 --> 00:03:54,802
They're out there in the wind and rain.

62
00:03:54,852 --> 00:04:02,142
No shawls, no comforters, just
repeating, I'm going to be cured,
neuritis is gone, peace out, pain.

63
00:04:02,552 --> 00:04:05,352
And boom, the next day, pain's gone.

64
00:04:05,602 --> 00:04:08,292
It's like they hit the
reset button on their body.

65
00:04:08,962 --> 00:04:09,872
But wait, there's more.

66
00:04:09,942 --> 00:04:13,392
You know, this is like one
of those old commercials, you
know, but wait, there's more.

67
00:04:13,802 --> 00:04:17,742
You know, they tried it on swelling
in their ankles from kidney problems.

68
00:04:17,882 --> 00:04:19,492
Two days later, swelling gone.

69
00:04:19,762 --> 00:04:22,142
They used it for fatigue and depression.

70
00:04:22,202 --> 00:04:22,602
Boom!

71
00:04:22,772 --> 00:04:26,022
The energy was through the roof
and feeling like a million bucks.

72
00:04:26,462 --> 00:04:28,272
Now Quay wasn't just talking the talk.

73
00:04:28,272 --> 00:04:29,642
He was walking the walk.

74
00:04:30,112 --> 00:04:33,552
The dude was running free clinics,
helping people left and right.

75
00:04:33,692 --> 00:04:34,782
He didn't care about money.

76
00:04:35,257 --> 00:04:39,747
He was like some superhero, but
instead of a cape, he probably
wore some nice little sweater vest.

77
00:04:39,747 --> 00:04:40,037
No, no.

78
00:04:40,037 --> 00:04:41,187
What the French, French wear.

79
00:04:41,187 --> 00:04:43,467
And here's what Quay said
about the whole thing.

80
00:04:44,067 --> 00:04:46,707
You've got this unlimited
power inside you.

81
00:04:46,837 --> 00:04:48,007
It's your imagination.

82
00:04:48,017 --> 00:04:49,097
You're subconscious.

83
00:04:49,347 --> 00:04:50,887
It's like wild horses.

84
00:04:51,017 --> 00:04:52,697
And if you don't control it.

85
00:04:53,292 --> 00:04:58,632
It will run off a cliff, but if you
learn to ride it, you can go anywhere.

86
00:04:59,122 --> 00:05:12,062
So, here's your homework, thinking big
family, for the next week, I want you
to try this out every morning and every
night, 20 times, every day, in every
way, I am getting better and better.

87
00:05:12,652 --> 00:05:14,402
Don't half ass it, full ass it.

88
00:05:14,862 --> 00:05:17,312
Commit to it like you're training
for the Olympics of the mind.

89
00:05:17,642 --> 00:05:20,612
And Hey, if you're feeling any
pain throwing a quick, it passes.

90
00:05:20,662 --> 00:05:23,792
It passes while you're putting
your hand on the spot that hurts.

91
00:05:24,062 --> 00:05:26,992
It's like a Jedi mind
trick, but for your body.

92
00:05:27,702 --> 00:05:32,342
Now I can already hear some of you saying,
but Sean, this sounds too good to be true.

93
00:05:32,582 --> 00:05:36,552
And yes, it does sound pretty
damn wild, but here's the thing.

94
00:05:36,782 --> 00:05:38,662
What do you have to lose?

95
00:05:38,852 --> 00:05:43,252
The worst case scenario, you
spend a few minutes a day saying
some positive stuff to yourself.

96
00:05:43,492 --> 00:05:47,962
Best case scenario, you unlock a
secret of your own personal superpower.

97
00:05:48,462 --> 00:05:51,662
And remember, your mind is the
most powerful tool you've got.

98
00:05:51,852 --> 00:05:54,502
It's time to start using
it and level up your life.

99
00:05:54,592 --> 00:05:59,302
Don't just think big, think
better in every day, in every way.

100
00:06:00,072 --> 00:06:03,542
Now that's all for today's episode

imaginations wild and those
artists suggestions positive.

103
00:06:19,592 --> 00:06:22,922
This is Sean Osborn signing off,
and I will see you next week.
