The Impulse Control Experiment: Recent Episodes
Joel Harrison
For the next 30 days I will embark on a journey of sobriety, impulse control, self discovery. No vices and lots of mental exercise. This podcast will be my accountability for the next 30 days. You will get an episode a day for the next 30 days. I will be real, raw, and honest with you . If I succeed, or fail, you will know about it. If I celebrate or cry, you will know about it. If you have ever tried to change, you know it is not easy, let's change together. On top of telling you how my process is going I will be sharing tools, modalities, and things to think about that help me on my change along the way.
Almost at the finish line my friend, mentor, and teacher Sandra Grace joins me on the experiment. Sandra is always a source of pure positive energy and has changed my life for the better in many ways!
Today we talk about the principals of Reiki and how they pertain to our lives. Taking time with the 3 of 5 that I have not spent much time on because I have been so specifically focused on the first 2. Sandra also takes time to make sure I recognize how, because I was ready, the universe threw opportunity after opportunity for me to learn and grow through this experiment! We dig into my struggles with how I want to return to "regular life" and how a lifestyle shift is a much better option going forward as opposed to total cessation of everything.

I always love talking with Dr Mani, He is able to communicate complex ideas in such a way that you and I "regular people" can understand. We talk about the conversation he and I once said that literally changed my life, and some of the more intellectual ideas behind belief! Then we jump into Mani's creative process with his music and how it is his "flow" and how we both use flow in our daily lives. and don't forget to check out those dope memes!!!

Today my friend Nicole drops by to talk about my progress and how I am feeling so far since the experiment has officially ended. We talk about some of her other modalities she likes to use for change, and dig a little deeper into the change process, sometimes things arn't always what they seem on the surface.
She also takes a minute to interpret some of the reasons or things I have seen throughout my journey. A lot of good talk from the only woman who can get away with calling me a toddler.

Tonight Ryan Charaba of "First W akeups with Ryan Charaba" podcast joins me on the experiment Ryan is an amazing coach who actually reached out to me at the beginning of the experiment and has been supporting me the whole way through. This is a super nice episode to actually dig into some things with someone I have grown a lot of respect for over the last month or so.
We dig into some of the interesting things about changing together in a relationship. That doesn't have to be just a spouse or lover. We talk about some ways to think about and navigate conversations of a rocky nature. Ryan is an awesome communicator and he shares a personal story of vulnerability which leads us to talk about our journey towards anger and our worst selves. Then we dig into some strategies to improve ourselves in our worst moments. Ryan wraps us up be asking 3 simple questions that you should ask yourself often that can really help!
This is another reason why I like having my amazing friends on the podcast. Such amazing value. ENJOY

Today Corey Piper of @NotNeverFilms drops by the podcast on this the last full day of the experiment. We talk a little bit about my current struggles and he teases me with some delicious scotch which happens to be one of my favorites.
As we get to the meat of the episode Corey elaborates on finding his passion and how he continues to get up at 5am every day to grind away at his passion, which is only a side job right now! I ask him what makes him think that can can make a feature length film and succeed, and we wrap up the episode with an amazing discussion about fear, and how it drives him every day to get up and do what he does. There is some great perspective and ideas in this episode from a man that inspires me all of the time. Enjoy this real fun talk.

So close to the end on this one! I talk about how the closer I get to the end of this experiment the harder it is to stay within the parameters. But on some fronts I am very proud of myself. I talk a little more about the pain of breaking my intention. And then I talk about anger.
How does anger manifest in your life? How do you feel about that? How does it effect your life?
Are you angry with someone else or are you angry with yourself? I talk about ways to deal with your anger, or even calm it down to pure communication. And why sometimes going to bed angry is OK and how being mad all day effects you!

What do you do when you screw up? My recap of the thanksgiving weekend comes with a few things that weren't allowed inside the experiment. So tonight I talk about what to do when you screw up.
Dwelling and reliving mistakes doesn't serve why, why waste your thoughts and energy on it. If you are going to make a conscience "mistake" as I did tonight. Make your move and stick with it. If it doesn't serve you, let it go and move on. I talk about celebrating your victories, no matter how small, and making each day better than the last, most of the time. I also briefly address when to get help.

Today I invite my mentor, Hypnotist Paul Ramsay into the experiment. Paul drops some amazing knowledge on us about the 6 human needs (Certainty, Love and connection, significance, variety, growth, and contribution) and how they effect everything that we do. Paul walks us through each need and how they effect us day to day whether that is on a conscience or subconscious level. As always when I talk to Paul I learn so much in how these things tie in with my own life. Really listen to these needs and how they are not always what they seem on their face. Paul is an expert at noticing and re-framing these ideas and applying them to my life! More real change and value for my own life here, I love this podcast, I'm growing so much.
We talk about my fear with the end of of the experiment and going back to some of my vices and will I still be able to receive my love and connection with my friends going into the future? And he finally asks the most important question of the experiment. Essentially, Why, after succeeding through this experiment, would I go back to these vices? Does that serve me, and what is the next steps? Still thinking on this one! But we do dive into some of those possibilities and find some very interesting ideas.
So much value for my in this conversation! Its the longest episode of the whole experiment but listen to every word and see how much I grow right in front of your ears!

Today one of my very best friends joins me on the show. Mitch and I have known each other for almost 10 years and have grown up a lot together over that time. I start out with an update from thanksgiving and tell you all about my NEW (used) CAR! Then we dive in to what it is that makes Mitch such an amazing person.
From growing up and being bullied because of his race and positive attitude to pushing through some painful adversity as a young adult, this guy has no quit. And when the cards were really on the table. He showed me how to be a man in true pursuit of his son and all the hard work he had to do to be a part of his life. I respect this man more than almost anyone in the world!
Pay special attention to the positive self talk, reframing, and what does he start with? Gratitude! This guy has every trick in his tool bag that we have been talking about all month long, and he just grew up with them. There is truly some amazing content here so listen up good.
This was my 2 person podcast with 1 mic, so if the audio is up and down I appologise, but the content is so valuable, hang in there!

Today I talk about taking action. Sometimes you just have to move. If something is on your mind, Just say it, keeping things in never helps. I also ask the question we all need to answer for ourselves... "What are you afraid of?!?" Next time, lean into your fear and take action!

This one get's heavy. I told you I would cry on this podcast, and here it is just for you! So today was still a good day, even though we did not buy the car like we had hoped. However after getting home and listening to an amazing conversation from Ryan Charaba and friends, holly and I have learned some great things about communicating and emotions to help make our relationship much much better.
Then I begin to talk about an amazing experience Holly and I had at a Breath work and Gong bath session. It was something we had never tried, and it not only inspired this episode, but had a profound experience on me, and I will do again soon, and recommend you try it as well.
This all has lead me to discussing the importance of dealing with the things that are in your past, that you have pushed down and think are fine, but never truly dealt with. It is important to revisit things that have happened in your life that you may or may not know have had a big impact on your life and the way you process the world.
And then, it is time for me to deal with some of my own SHIT! I know I have a lot of shit involving my father. He was an amazing man, but also a very flawed man. I talk about how I delt with his illness before he died, how his faults effected me, and how much I miss him everyday. I end up comming to some very real, very personal realizations about WHY I have stood in my own way for so long, and finally am able to release some of my SHIT!
If you would like to talk about any of your Shit, I am always here to listen, or help you release it for good so you can get out of your own way. Just hit me up @ JH@HarrisonHypnosis.com

Today my good buddy Nicholas drops by The Impulse Control Experiment to talk about Love Vs Fear. I give nick today's update on how I'd doing including talking a little about my weight loss and how I handled Thanksgiving.
Nicholas explains some of the principals of Reiki and how they relate to real life scientific ideas and how we can override our natural program to engage our impulses. We dive into my fears and worries about how I am going to deal with my vices AFTER the experiment is over and how to handle situations where I would typically engage them in the future. We talk about how I my vices are typically connected to my need for love and connection and how I can meet those needs without vices.
We dive into the side effects of the experiment and how they have improved my life through out the month and how much better my "base line" is getting without covering up my stress with vices.
I am so grateful for a new perspective on the topics we have been talking out all month long. Thank you Nicholas so much!

Today was a good day! Started out spending the morning and early afternoon test driving cars and trying to find something safe and reliable for my wife. Looks like I'm going to end up spending more than I want to, but hopefully we get something good. Then we headed to an early family thanksgiving and Holly got to reconnect with some much missed family.
After dinner I got to know her cousin pretty well and I was inspired to talk about finding your passion tonight. This all starts with what I refer to a celebrating your weird! Whatever it is that you truly love, and people look at you funny for when your talking their ear about, that is your passion. I talk about how to find that passion if you don't have one. Stepping outside your comfort zone, and how important it is to not let others negative talk influence your pursuit of your passion.
I also take a few minutes to mention that my passion has lead me to this entrepreneurial life, that is not always fun, but it is how I must live!

What a day of Celebration today! I got some more love on the podcast this morning to start my day, and as the morning went on I was just so filled with love and joy, Today was really a day that makes all the hard work worth it! Things are really starting to feel wonderful in my world! But the project is still going on so I must be honest about another small misstep!
Today I dive into the best way to support your tribe. I often like to refer to it as "loving on people." I start by diving into what I actually love about social media and the ability it gives me to keep up with my friends, and what an amazing opportunity it gives you to reframe your friends troubles, or just give them some support in a time of need, or celebration. It doesn't have to always be your friends, just giving a compliment to a stranger and have an amazing long lasting impact on their day/life.
I wrap up by talking about how good the love that you all are giving me made me feel on this day! I am always deeply appreciative of your thoughts, comments and love!

I lost my original recording of episode 015, so here is a very timely replacement! Had a bit of a tough evening tonight. Someone close to me is having some family issues and the energy rubbed off on me and I reacted poorly to a negative conversation. That Brought me to thin about reaction for today.
I really Hope you get to listen to this episode before you head out to you gathering today. Thanksgiving can be very hard for many of us. We are often spending time with people we don't always get along with. Tonight I talk about setting intention for how you will handle this interaction in a way that best serves you and allows you to go home feeling proud of how you reacted today! I also spend sometime exploring other options if your traditional holiday just no longer serves you and make sure you know you are always entitled to your thoughts and emotions.
Oh yeah, and I explain the St. Louis tradition on Skanksgiving just for a laugh!

Tonight was a hard night, we had one of those fights that didn't take long, and wasn't loud and yelling. It was really something I wasn't sure I knew how I wanted to handle. So this episode is a little choppy audio wise because I was recording from a different location. I talk a little bit about when trying to change in a relationship how sometimes the only thing left to do is let someone realize that you can't change for them and they have to do their healing themselves.
This lead me to ask an honest question of myself. When if the last time I looked in the mirror and told myself I loved ME? When is the last time you did the same? Did you believe yourself? NHL Player Ryan Reaves Most definitely loves himself! check out him getting psyched up for a game and tell me he doesn't believe every ounce of what he says to himself! https://www.facebook.com/NHL/videos/288431741794507/
I also take time to explore my own need for validation and ask if it stems from not loving myself enough. Bottom line, How can you accept love, if you do not see the value in yourself to love yourself?

Today Started off with a good dose of love from the Universe. I woke up to someone coming over to FINALLY put siding on my house, and for the first time someone reached out to tell me that this podcast is having real meaning in their life and asked me for a little help moving forward. As always I will say again how grateful I am for YOU listening to this podcast and every opportunity to help you grow alongside me! All the feels today!
I then dive into the question, why do we not exercise our minds the way we do our bodies? I talk about the benefits of doing so and the different ways in which you can exercise your mind.
I touch on the idea that we may very well be living in the matrix, or at least that our universe has some matrix like qualities. Hey, if it's good enough for Elon Musk to say its more than possible, I think its far from a dumb idea. So I will again ask, WHY ARN'T YOU EXERCISING YOUR MIND?

Today had a chance to be very stressful. I finally found out that the repairs on my wifes care are extensive, and it is time to retire the vehicle. Up until now money has been one of my biggest sources of anxiety in my life. However this is a chance to re-frame the difficulties and accept the positives of getting a new vehicle!
Living from a place of abundance is one of the best ways to get everything you ever wanted. Today I discuss how to do so when things aren't quite abundant. I also mention someone in my circle whom I have great respect for and lives with abundance everyday. Mr CJ Reynolds, a teacher and you tuber from Philly who does amazing things for his students and truly lives from a place of abundance. find his youtube channel here and give him a watch... especially if you are a teacher, student, or parent!

Today I had a struggle with sugar, and I really think staying away from delicious cookies at a birthday is one of the hardest battles I have fought yet, But I succeeded. I also talk about how I am starting to yearn for December when I don't have to be quite so determined to stay away from everything.
This episode is finally time for me to talk about my passion, Hypnosis. It's what I do for work, it's how I entertain, and it's how I change. I dig into what hypnosis is, and how and why it is so amazing for change work. Then I give you another amazing gift. Packed inside I teach you a way to truly hypnotize yourself! A simple exercise to help you achieve change all on your own. Simply start with a simple, positive mantra, and follow the instructions to a deep self trance.

Today was a much more productive Saturday, Finally getting to the more productive life I was looking for. Survived another tempting situation without fail, finding sobriety is not that hard when your intent has been set strong! Big progress in my reiki work rounded out the celebration for the day and why I love tea so much!
When going through change we often want to be "A new person" when the truth is we are always the same person, but often different versions of the same self. we often wish that we could go back in time and change that very thing. However it is important to recognize that every single step of your life builds towards the moment that you are in right now! Today we discuss being grateful for the past version of yourself for going through everything that has brought you to this moment right here, and it is that journey that allows you to go through change and live your BEST life. Celebrating overcoming challenges and recognizing what is possible because of the things you have survived in the past! We also discuss how doing all of this makes doing the work required to be your best self easier and more meangiful!

Today was a pretty good day. Still working on communicating effectively when I am upset, but handled myself pretty well on the phone with a bill collector, not perfect but had potential to be much worse. I am quite pleased with my ability to be in the presence of temptation and pass without too much trouble, and my wife is finding her happy again as well. What a great day!
I think your really going to like this episode. Today I discuss the importance of sleep and the side effects of not getting enough. I also talk about the evil snooze button and why you should never use it again. And then I give you a real special gift. A hypnotic session that will allow you to release your stress of the day and fall into a deep restful sleep and wake full of energy and ready to attack your next day! I have also taken that specific part of the recording and made it available as a stand alone download so you can use it anytime you need a good nights rest! stream or download here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PZHB_jmKryKtomOP2SOOpeelYCOwssD5/view?usp=sharing
Today, I did not want to do this episode, Just wasn't feeling it. You can tell by my tone of voice and the words I used in the beginning of the episode I just wanted to go to bed. Today was such a busy day, good just busy and tired. Sometimes it's hard to keep pushing when you know your bed is so comfy.
That being said, today I talk about the power of words. Not letting your negative self talk rule your life and the power of the re-framing the things that happen to you, or your thoughts into the positive. It can always be done sometimes we just need a little help.

This episode was A Lot of fun to make. I was in a great mood and just being silly. There are a few times when I took some detours to tell a few stories from my past and made myself laugh. It was a good time and I hope you enjoy, I am really starting to dig my time in front of this mic talking to you.
I talk about another BIG fight with my wife, but we really found some value and communicated in a way that was necessary for our growth as a couple. It wasn't pretty, but I think it will set us on the right path to grow together and not only survive but thrive together for the rest of the experiment!
Tonight I talk about how EVERYTHING is a choice. yes even... especially your emotions. I talk about how to control your emotions and how to frame your toughts and emotions in a more helpful way that allows for more effective communication!

In today's episode I talk about an event that happened while at the dog park today where I again failed to keep my composure in a heightened emotional state and how I choose to do that instead of calmly expressing my feelings as I should have. I also got some new earbuds today which led me straight into one of my favorite topics, music.
Music and dance grounds me and makes me happy so today I discuss some of my favorite music and how pumping loud music directly into your brain and singing or dancing along can actually override your self talk and allow for some true relaxation and happiness. I also throw out one of my favorite quotes from the great Jeff Bridges from the awesome movie "The Men who Stare at goats."
Also here are some of my favorite pieces of music:

In this episode I really dive deep and I think it is going to be one of the best of the whole month! What started off as the most productive day I have had in a long time took a sharp left turn in the evening. A big fight with my wife lead me to a phone call with 2 people who are very important to me and some major re-framing.
This conversation led me all over the map, to thinking about why I act this way, what I need to change, and how to be the very best version of myself. I talk about choosing your mentors wisely, The side effects of the experiment and blow my own mind with something to be grateful for after a very tough night. I hope this one makes you think! I know it did me.

Today was a pretty lazy day for me, bought a new xbox and played games all day. But the good news was it was a pretty good day overall. Just being lazy and enjoying time with my wife.
In the episode I talk about the difference between stress relief and stress release. It's the difference between covering it up, and allowing it to come back again and again. And actually letting it go forever, taking the lessons learned and truly releasing it for good.
I have included an amazing tool for releasing your stress in the later part of the episode that I think you will love. Its super easy and you can use it anytime you are stressed to release it and get back to living your beat life.

In today's episode I talk about my first (and hopefully only) failure of the experiment. Thats right, I screwed up already. But that's ok. Not only that but I fought with my wife today as well and was very lazy. So all in all not a great day.
I also talk about Belief, and how simply believing in an idea with all of your being makes it possible to achieve. I don't care what you personal belief structure is but s long as you believe it I support it. there is a lot of truth in the idea of believe it achieve it!
Finally I address the idea of FLOW and the amazing man who introduced me to the idea DR. Mani Saint-Victor. No only is he a Harvard trained MD, but he is one of the most influential agents of change in my life, and his grasp of intellectual ideas allowed me to release my limiting beliefs about the universe and what is truly possible. Dr. Mani uses his FLOW to make some of the most amazing and powerful music that comes straight from his sub-conscience mind into your ear holes. Once you have finished this episode, take some time to dig into his amazingly hypnotic music. Just throw on your headphones, listen and breathe. Hopefully The Doctor can stop by the podcast for a visit sometime later in the month. Find his music here and enjoy: https://soundcloud.com/mani-saint-victor/sets/urban-meditation?fbclid=IwAR3MTTCjwAzmqVmE3gm4vP4W20JJNorl-LsRQRStjlob0m31qtLQySjQH90

On Today's episode I focus mostly on how tired I am without caffeine. I never realized how much help I needed to get through my day. I also talk about struggling with the closing of one of my favorite places in this world. Tonight was the last time I would ever grace the dance floor at Upstairs Lounge in St. Louis MO. This place holds a special place in my heart and is where I have met most of my friends who are some of the most loving accepting people on this planet.
Going to this venue with the intent of being sober and just enjoying music and friendship could have been difficult. However with the proper intent I believe that I will make it through tonight with the experiment in tact. I dig into the idea of intent and how it effects change. I also speak briefly about time and how setting true intent and knowing that time does not work as it seems work together to make achieving our goals not only possible, but easy.

Welcome to Day 1 of the Impulse Control Experiment. Today was not that easy of a day! The lack of things to keep me awake and moving definitely hit me harder than I thought it would. Didn't think I was that much of a coffee addict. I share a little bit about some grumpiness that my family received and how I am feeling about the experiment.
Always start with Gratitude, so today we did. I take a little bit of time to talk about gratitude and just a hint of re-framing (even though re-framing will get it's own episode soon). My wife said this episode took her from anger to happy tears in a matter of seconds, so stick with it.
Today I will finish off with a short meditation to help you really live in gratitude. So If you are at the start of anything, or just need to feel a little gratitude. listen at a time when you can sit down and close your eyes for a minute. If your driving... keep them open please.
Enjoy! I have created a Facebook group for discussing topics addressed in the podcast and anything you feel relevant. Please feel free to join the discussion

Welcome to The Impulse Control Experiment! This first episode will outline the experiment as well as what this podcast is all about! I appreciate you taking time to join me on this journey.
For the next 30 days I will embark on a journey of sobriety, impulse control, self discovery. No vices and lots of mental exercise. This podcast will be my accountability for the next 30 days. You will get an episode a day for the next 30 days. I will be real, raw, and honest with you . If I succeed, or fail, you will know about it. If I celebrate or cry, you will know about it. If you have ever tried to change, you know it is not easy, let's change together.
On top of telling you how my process is going I will be sharing tools, modalities, and things to think about that help me on my change along the way. So If you have ever struggled with being your best self, have a listen, keep me accountable, and hopefully learn something
I am grateful for you. If you would like to reach out I am always here to help. JH@Harrisonhypnosis.com
