Do you have a feeling that you are your own worst enemy when it comes to success at business or even just at living? Mindset work can help readjust negative attitudes we developed in childhood or learned from parents or society and replace them with positive mind talk that helps give you more confidence and frees up paralysis from feeling overwhelmed.

Tara Wagner, a business and mindset coach, is very organized with a good systems approach to business and life. Her primary goal is to help others work towards time and financial independence. She had autoimmune health issues and was forced to slow down her work pace. She is sharing what she learned about balancing work and selfcare and family time in online courses and free Youtube weekly videos.

  • Tara has a Youtube channel with years of free video content that is quite useful and organized in topical series within playlists. See Tara Wagner Coaching on Youtube.

Routines for selfcare and work can save brain energy for more important tasks.

The more we routinize our habits in personal life or within a job, the more we can prevent brain fatigue. Every decision, even tiny ones like what to wear or make for breakfast, to pack a lunch or buy it?, etc., each is using some energy. It seems that we have a maximum capacity for best mental effort. Saving that level of cognitive skill for important work makes more sense than wasting it on thinking about whether to put on your shoes first or brush your teeth first.

Systemizing your routine or simply making a routine means doing things the same way or in a systematic way so that it can be done on autopilot, effortlessly like a choreographed dance routine that has nothing to do with CoV scamdemics.

Mindset: I get up, I get moving, I get active. (My motivating motto)

Seemlessly flow through a getting up, getting washed, dressed, breakfasted, supplemented, etc. all in routine way. Prepping for that may include setting up stations for this or that activity with all the needed things organized and easy to find. Linking supplements to meals as an example can help remember the supplements. I have been doing better with my leg swelling issues. After refilling my vitamin boxes a couple days ago, I have streamlined the complexity into: melatonin with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with one box of the supplements, and follow that with the niacin 15 minutes later/at end of meal. Bam, that is 9 different actions/supplement swallowing that are now linked to a meal instead of being 9 individual things to remember to do. And then I have one more box to take before bed.

Supplement inventory and weekly boxes

To make refilling the weekly boxes easier, I buy about 6 months worth of a supplement at a time and have a simple inventory log to see what I should rummage through my box of backup bottles for and what I need to add to a shopping list before another 3 weeks is up (I have 3 weekly boxes. I had four but one broke.) I tend to buy several things at a time and then they are running out at slightly different times so the cost is spread out over the year. But I am spending a few hundred dollars when I replace things.

The boxes are better than opening a bunch of bottles everyday – that is time consuming and too easy to put off.

Why not a one-a-day for me? – vitamin A. See this post with my daily supplement list: Substack.

A good one-a-day supplement would cover a lot of my list in the last post, but in needing to avoid vitamin A, and initially vitamin D and iodine, I have to avoid one-a-day supplements. My mother has been doing well (roughly) regaining a little function with the addition of a Thorne brand two-a-day powder in a capsule product. I open the capsule and stir the powder into a protein shake or bean soup puree.

  • Basic Nutrients 2/Day, Thorne, available on Fullscript, 60 capsules (one month supply) for $30 retail or $21 with my discount. You can sign up under my account to browse the catalog or pick through examples in protocols I have on the site. (us.fullscript.com/welcome/jdepew)

Since learning more about lymphedema I have added an iodine supplement, about 3-4 mg of a high dose powder capsule product. And it seems helpful and my thyroid is not going hyperthyroid it seems. Yeah! I also take vitamin D3 now but had avoided it for a while on the Marshall Protocol which got rid of a severe migraine problem for me.

Burnout Recovery

Burnout recovery is a big focus within Tara Wagner’s coaching as it is seen frequently with small business owners. Women with other caregiving roles can be at high risk for stress overload and females may have been raised with messaging of helping others more than focusing on their own self-care needs.

A free webinar is available by Tara Wagner, a business coach focused on helping female entrepreneurs breakthrough mental or health blocks to reaching their goals. The video includes useful tips about building a successful business and working through blocks if you’ve been stuck for a while at starting stages. The course the video is about goes into greater detail and has a lot of bonus material including the burnout recovery info. (https://jendepew–tarawagner.thrivecart.com/breakthrough-boss/6490939517905/) The free video ends with a pitch for a business course/website of business building and maintenance courses, with templates, pre-built spreadsheets and other benefits called Breakthrough Boss.

Thanks in advance if you do buy her Breakthrough Boss course though my affiliate link. Affiliate link: (jendepew–tarawagner.thrivecart.com/breakthrough-boss/) – clicking does take you to her site showing the special price $777. That is a lot of money but I paid a bit more than that and feel like it is a good deal. It has the small business information but also has Mindset, Imposter Syndrome, Burnout Recovery, Goal Setting, and other topics included. The online business building guidance has templates and how-to’s for organizing your work and life and recommended software/site subscriptions to use. This could be useful for any online business as systemization strategies can be modified for your own needs. She offers a seven day return policy in case you decide you don’t want to keep the course access.

The course/coaching might be most helpful for someone who feels like they are getting in their own way for whatever or an unknown reason. Her methods walk you through how to dig into your own crud to find out where you need to improve and what your goals may truly include if you really think about it rather than a vague, “I want to get rich or famous.” Her online course set-up is fun and easy to navigate and has lots of links to extra material on her YouTube channel or book recommendations. Purchase is for-life access rather than some limited time and there is a private Facebook community for questions.

An Action Guide to handwrite in is included with each section and it is doing the repetitive work/exercises that helps reprogram our habits in the way we choose to build them to be our best self – without shaming for slow days. Her strategy with autoimmune disease was to just accept that she needed to build a new job for herself that has flexible scheduling built into it and streamlined with automated computer strategies and hiring a team as needed.

To save time, work is needed to set up systems – and that takes time to do. So schedule it! Make time to learn helpful software and set up the data templates that fit your needs. “Success is scheduled.” – Tara Wagner, quoting someone maybe.

  • A recommended site: You Need A Budget – yeah, I do. (ynab.com) – fee service, $99/year or $14.99/month. The site says most users save money, an average of $600 by the second month.
  • Clickup.com is another recommendation. It has a free service, good for personal use, and low cost monthly fees get you more memory storage and may be needed for teams.
  • I use canva.com for graphics. It has a free service but I pay ~ 12.99/month for the added ability to custom change the size of graphics and maybe other perks. Or I pay $119.99/year. I do need a budget.

I have found the mindset work helpful and eventually printed out most of the guide. I will work through the business sections later. I am starting with the mindset and organization sections first. Printing double sided would be better, except the blank back page can be used to write more extended thoughts.

*Handwritten work seems to sink into our brains better than typing on a computer. She recommends physically writing and copying what you want on the computer later.

Breakthrough Boss Action Guide printed single sided – double sided would be better.

Use of essential oils for emotional support and for use with mindset adjusting practices is included. Linking aroma to mindset work, can then help later once the pathway is formed in the brain to quickstart a desired mood change. Link one scent to calming practice, and another to a get moving, “I got this”, confident mindset, and then when you need a boost, sniff the aroma for confidence, or if stressed, sniff the aroma you linked to calming affirmations. I have a post started with more info about essential oils. I also have a Lymphedema Protocol in the works which ended up being about Alzheimer’s Disease risk too – fluid excess in the brain is more damaging than fluid excess in our ankles and legs.

Tara’s free information on Youtube, and the info sales video have a lot of value for helping clarify goals even if you don’t buy anything. See Tara Wagner Coaching on Youtube. Readers who have been following my work for a while will be able to see if it helps or changes my writing here.

The Crappy Childhood Fairy also has quite a bit of free information available. She discusses how chronic trauma can negatively impact your work relationships due to trust issues or seeking approval neediness.

Looks helpful: Overcoming Clutter Paralysis: How to Get Unstuck, Angela Brown Cleaning, (youtube.com) — overwhelmed by stuff, and now also have the loss of a sibling and all the sibling’s stuff is now on top of her own excess stuff… Yes, I need this video too.

It is time to break my paralysis of overwhelm and disorganization in my real world and online work.

Emergency preparedness is practice to see what works.

It also is a reality check – OH, WOW, I am so unprepared. With practice strategies can become routine, quick, ready to go.

*This is a follow-up post to a previous one on Substack. I am copying both here in reverse order.

If solar flares caused EMP problems it would be at a random time. Are your back up drives always stored in EMP proof metal containers within some insulating material?

I now have my laptops and a few things wrapped in fabric in two large metal trash cans. Maybe it will work, but it wouldn’t work if something happened and I still was working in the laptop.

My biggest personal lesson has been that I don’t have much of my work in physical print. Four book drafts, none in print. I might feel bad about unfinished work, however I don’t. Each project has added to the next, built on the foundation of the previous work.

Hyperinflammation and chronic neurologic degeneration has been the overall theme of all four works. Can V was just icing on the cake.

Modern life is sickening in many ways. That is the huge take home point. So, anyone who is looking for solutions based on maintenance of a month from lifestyle will be disappointed by my findings. It is modern life making us sick. To get better requires more than a pill or talk therapy.

What has been interesting is watching mainstream media discredit absolutely everything that might help a little. If you are waiting for authority figure to tell you to take better care of yourselves, then you may be waiting a while, or be given bad advice. Fabric masks for aerosolized particles is bad advice.

People want short and easy, so I try, but they also want the science-y sounding complexity, but then that is too much. I can’t win.

These graphics are my attempt at easier – think of it as the distillation of four book drafts and maybe it will seem more helpful. PDF links included later.

There are more details, certainly, but many people don’t want more details and this amount of info may already be too much. Even health professionals don’t seem to get it. I don’t really understand but will keep trying.

It is not fun to have your brain go wacky or your body become dysfunctional. Modern medicine tends to add to chronic degenerative disease overall, more than prevent it. Bluntly, truly, buyer be wary of “health care”.

It isn’t simple. People who like the promise of a pill as a quick fix will likely still seek a pill. Eventually they may realize that the pill or four pills, or ten a day is not helping. Or maybe they won’t.

Peace be with you. I got my laptop out to add the latest version of my Hyperinflammation – positive feedback loop graphic which includes niacin as an inhibitor of the inflammatory escalation. So I will create some Dropbox links for a few drafts.

Clearly Dmitry Kats, PhD is not wrong. High dose niacin has been extremely helpful for my own health needs. I do have metabolic gene differences so some people may need it more than other people.

Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.

The point of Equal Opportunity Programs is to allow people to try without discrimination based on personal attributes. It seems like modern medicine discriminates against physiology which is based on nutrition. We are a chemical soup, how many ingredients are in your chemical soup? And how many toxins?

Health wasn’t easy for cavemen and isn’t really easy for us either if you considered how disabling physical or mental illness can be. Life just seems easier because we don’t have to work as physically hard.

If I have survive on what I can forage from nature or standard grocery stores, I will starve or get unhealthy very quickly. That is a truth I just have to try to plan ahead for and stock up on the foods and supplements my quirky genetics and health needs at this stage of my aging process.

I think the sunburn idea is valid. Fabric was itchy so I wore a wide neckline and now have new spots on my neck/shoulder area – in the sun exposed area. Black seed oil. It takes away the sting and they are slowly flattening out.

Health is not a guarantee from your doctor, your government, your mother, or anyone. It is something you have to take care of with daily habits.

Who am I to say anything about health or diet? My job was helping women to grow new babies with inexpensive food and I was good at it. Infertility is in part due to the Modern Life – Promoting Nf-Kb graphic and lack of some of the nutrients and phytonutrients on the next two graphics.

Why should we expect to be able to grow a baby out of nutrient deficient high calorie food? Babies are not marshmallows. We can’t make a baby out of sugar and glyphosate.

That is some of my work that I feel was background material for the more recent histamine excess/retinoic acid series here on Substack.

If health is easy for you, then you may be genetically lucky or still fairly young. Health is not easy in modern life. Modern life just seems easy because we don’t have to gater dandelion greens and hunt rabbits for our dinner. The exercise, fresh air, wild dandelion greens and rabbit might be healthier for us though.

Emergency preparedness role playing can give us a chance to think more deeply about what we care about and what we want to protect.

Peace be with you all.

Falseness of research – JPA Ioannidis, 2015

Dr. Robert Malone more recently published an article summarizing how media and research have added to wrong information being spread and believed about Covid19.

Phil Harper, of The Digger Substack & new podcast, did an interview with Pierre Kory, MD, a doctor with the Frontline doctors working to help CoV patients. He uses Ivermectin successfully and discusses the difficulties and biased or false research that has been used to discredit use of a medication with a long and safe history – including a Nobel Prize. Towards the end of the interview he also points out that all effective treatments and dietary supports have been suppressed or discredited. He goes further to say it is a long history of the same fraud to support pharmaceuticals and suppression of effective low budget care. The suppression of side effects of psychiatric and other medications was also mentioned. To listen you do need to be a paid or free trial subscriber. (Phil Harper/Substack/The Digger)

John P.A. Ioannidis reviews research about bias and other effects that seem to do with competitiveness in a field of study – who will be first? Larger group numbers and larger effects tend to be more accurate than studies with small group size which found minimally significant effects. Financial interest in the outcome of the study also seems to impact reliability of the results of the funded research.

Why Most Published Research Findings Are False – Abstract, Summary

There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance.

Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias.

In this essay, I discuss the implications of these problems for the conduct and interpretation of research.

History of covert science by Nazi’s – Operation Paperclip & more recent AIDS/Ebola research.

Two videos are worth viewing and considering as a set – what does the early history have to do with the more recent history? Hard to know if names and histories of individual scientists was changed during Operation Paperclip.

See: Annie Jacobsen, “Operation Paperclip”, Politics and Prose, Youtube channel.

Also of interest:

While a search for the quote “The modern media is a pastiche of sex and soft eroticism.” did not find the article, it did show there is a problem that people have noticed and written about. (variation of the search) Totalitarian takeover of a nation generally includes breaking down traditional family partnerships and increasing the exploitation and discrimination of females. See the post: Mass Psychosis and Totalitarian Takeover.

Fluoride being added to the public water was a strategy used in prisons in some places to increase docility and decrease sex drive. Moderately low iodine can cause approximately a 15 IQ point decrease in intelligence, which iodine supplements may improve unless it was since prenatal development. Low iodine also causes apathy, depression and fatigue.

I am not sure of the source, this is not the same missing 404 page link. I was searching for my series of screenshots of that article and found this one first.

While I didn’t find that article either, Can the Dumbing Down of America be Traced to Fluoridation? (thepanelist.net) is on a similar topic from a more academic perspective. From a dietitian perspective the answer is a strong “Yes“. We now have 3 and a half generations of US citizens born with a possible deficiency of iodine in ratio to the competitive halides in our water, food and medications: fluoride and bromide; and environmental perchlorates (low doses even can affect thyroid function, perchlorates).

Repetitive messaging, nutrient deficiencies, and modern toxins in the food supply and medications are all adding up to a public that is easily manipulated for the purpose of control by some covert internationally linked group.

At some point when the evidence suggests that killers are in charge, it would make sense to stop cooperating with being slowly and painfully maimed and killed. It appears that the US lost WWII by being infiltrated in advance. Related post: Against Our Better Judgement, a book summary.
