Let me tell you a few stories about how I used to trust the supplements, medications, and prescription pills I was given to help me improve my health and feel better. What I consistently got was worse and thankfully I avoided going to any doctors to get even more pills for all my mental challenges. Instead, I self-medicated with alcohol and I got the same result. Relief finally came by ending everything. No more alcohol, pills, supplements, or medications except for perhaps a short time of emergency. When I injured my back in the line of duty making an arrest as a state law enforcement officer, I ran into the same trap. I was in pain and took the pills they gave me without question. After a week, I realized not only was I becoming used to all of what they gave me quickly so much that I now had to take the pills just to feel normal but also that my back was improving much more slowly than if I had not taken the medication. I stopped the meds immediately upon realizing this and quickly was back to work

Thank you for helping me get paid to do what I love every month with Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/jerrybanfield. Would you like to learn how to get started and grow your Patreon following the way I have? Patreon provides the easiest method I know of to make recurring monthly income online in exchange for doing what we love. The trick with Patreon is to get those very first patrons to participate which is the point most new creators never get past. Who wants to pledge to a page with no one else giving it support? While our friends and family often make the best people to ask for help, many of us are programmed that money is evil and therefore asking family and friends to do what we love is shameful. Strangers then become suckers for money that we have to either trick, beg, or barter using work to get them to give us as much money as possible. Patreon makes asking friends and family for money much easier because using the rewards system allows providing a concrete benefit in exchange for becoming a

Would you try listening to my eighth song named "Dirty Organ" in the car because it has epic bass drops in it that I love! Thank you to Tomas George for suggesting the name because this track begins and ends with the KBD Organ NUC from the Morphine Additive Synthesizer! For the other chords, I used 4 other Morphine Additive Synthesizer variations in FL Studio 12 including LED Fat MC, KBD Linda MC, KBD Plastic Dream MC, and KBD Sine Piano NUC with a channel pitch automation. For the kick drum, I used Fruit Kick at C3, C4, and C5 alternating between verses the order. The bass drop is from the Bass Drum8_LONG sample available in the all samples bundle on FL Studio 12's website along with A6NDRM.C4 for the sound at the end of the bass drop. The guitar samples I used where 00114_C4, 00126_C5, and 00102_C3. My hope for this song was to make a beat for listening to in my Toyota RAV4 Hybrid which emphasizes bass sounds even with the default settings. Thank you for reading about Dirty Organ and I hope this descr

Will you hear the crazy story of how I started making music and nearly quit the day before I gave it a try for the first time live online with FL Studio 12? Listen to all my songs free on SoundCloud at https://soundcloud.com/jbanfield. The story begins in sixth grade music class where I decided I hated music after flicking my music teacher off. From that day forward I was sure that I had no talent or interest in doing anything musical while attempting to put down most who were willing to try. I was into Pink Floyd and AC/DC followed soon by Eminem, Tupac, and Kesha. This was the soundtrack of my life from almost twenty years. When I was 30, I started to notice that the music I was listening to was often negatively impacting my mood. Getting to the car to drive somewhere, I would often be in a good mood and then getting out of the car twenty minutes later, I would feel like a victim or ashamed of myself or mad at the world. The modification to my mood I experienced from music finally became conscious a

How do we balance out what we want to earn per hour with what wage people will actually pay us? What works to set an hourly rate we are happy with? For freelancing online this tends to continuously be challenging. Will you hear the stories of exploring how much to charge and the series of jobs I went through before ever getting into doing work I loved for a great hourly wage? After graduating with my bachelor’s degree in 2006, I accepted a job for less than $10 where I was risking my life because I was unwilling to give up the demand to have my own place or move home with my parents. I thought I was smart by trying to keep a job always and just move up hourly pay over and over again. The problem was that every time I got a better job, I just made an excuse to upgrade where I lived and increase my expenses. Never once did I successfully negotiate my salary in taking jobs until I finally negotiated an extra $3,000 a year in graduate school. While you might think having my own business gives me freedom f

Would you like to hear the story of how I got freedom from compromising on pay and consistently end up at jobs I complained about? The exit came in taking a leap of faith to do what I loved while giving up the demand that I make money right away. From 2001 to 2011 I stuck to working whatever job I could get accepting whatever pay was offered and never refusing a job I applied to because of pay. In sticking with that job while sending out applications to others, I thought I was being smart in jumping from one low paying job I did not enjoy to another. With culture telling me the best escape was to get an education at any cost, I started graduate school with the hope of breaking the cycle only to discover I was actually guaranteeing there would be no escape for a long time by borrowing more money with student loans. When I started my business in 2011, I hoped that it would give me freedom from the cycle of compromising my values and what I wanted to do in exchange for a small paycheck which would barely al

Would you like to meet me live? Become a patron on Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/jerrybanfield to get exclusive access to any events that I host! After months of feeling like you want me to be available to meet you live, I have been struggling to find a way to plan the details. How much do I charge? Where do I travel do? How big of a space do I rent? Which methods do I use to promote it? Finally last night I received a clear answer. Keep my business system within Patreon. Be available for the people paying to keep me in business every month. Only schedule events that are of interest to people on Patreon. Avoid charging any additional fees by requiring a $10 or more a month contribution to see the posts. Keep the dates and times secret from the public to promote small gathers AND to minimize the urge to promote the event on my end. After thinking this thought, I made the video today to announce that I am about to schedule my first event which I believe is near enough to patrons I would like to

Earning money online seems really difficult at first and I hope this video makes it seem much easier. In my first year working online, I struggled to make anything. In the nearly five years that have followed, I have earned almost $2 million online in payments received with around $5 million in total sales. The absolute easiest way to get started is simply to work with friends, family, and people you ALREADY KNOW. How do I know? My friends collectively earned over $100,000 last year working for me! They never had to send in a job application or a resume. As work came along for me, I asked them for help and they learned what they needed to do to provide services. Given most of us are connected to hundreds of people, the statistics suggest that most of us have someone in our lives that could benefit from our help online. If we ask around and share what we can do in a manner of collaboration rather than desperation, the odds are in our favor for finding an amazing opportunity to freelance and make money

How would you feel with a great night of sleep each night? Hear what works for me to consistently get 8 hours of sleep nightly including falling asleep, staying in REM and deep sleep, and waking up feeling restored! The simple truth I see is that people getting good sleep are consistently happier, healthier, and more productive than those waking up frequently, functioning on small amounts of sleep, sleeping sporadically, and struggling to get a good night of sleep. Does the insanity of day time life translate into the same for sleep? Is not the battle to get good sleep a tool to gain motivation for fixing the rest of problems in daily life? For me, the most unhappy parts of my life also found me with the most disrupted sleep. I start by sharing what my life looks like today with balanced energy throughout the day matched with the ability to relax and sit on the couch watching a masterclass by deadmau5 for 40 minutes before getting up to write this. At night when I get in bed, I consistently fall asleep

Hear a track I made using 9 Morphine Additive Synthesizer variations in FL Studio 12 in less than 2 hours with the help of hundreds of views on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch especially thanasis03 who suggested the title because it was made on Monday and feels like a relaxing lazy song! To make this, I used a C5 Kick and Hat along with these 9 Morphine Additive Synthesizer presets. LED Acidsynth NUC for the drone note, SFX CombZap FG for a sound effect transition, and VOX 5th Element MC for the chorus. For the main patterns of the song, I used LED Dark MC, KBD Butter Organ FG, KBD Comb Spectra MC, LED Analog Saw FG, PAD Vintage Radio MC, and KBD Dynamic Suitcase FG. Thank you for reading about the sixth song I have created live within my first two weeks of trying to make music online with a digital audio workstation! I am grateful at least 5 viewers online contributed suggestions I applied directly to making this beat and hope this is inspirational you in creating and sharing your own music online! ---

Are my Happier People podcast and vlog episodes too long at 20 minutes each? Would you prefer a 5 minute maximum as I used for day 142 here? Help me learn how to best serve you by liking, disliking, or commenting on this video on YouTube, Facebook, or @jerrybanfield on Twitter to show me what format is best. With an average of 20 minutes per Happier People vlog and podcast, I have seen feedback from some saying it is a perfect length for driving to work while others suggest shorter videos would be better because the longer videos bring up a thought of "I will not finish it anyway, why even start?" Today I am grateful to have the courage to not get so attached to how I do everything and to ask for help consistently as I have done here. Thank you for reading about day 142 of Happier People podcast! My exercise is to be willing to receive feedback instead of being defensive about the suggestions I receive! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jerrybanfield/support

What makes us struggle to put into action what we know? Why we find it challenging to eat healthy when we know how? When we work hard to learn the facts, why do we then seem unable to benefit or feel even worse than when we started? Hear my stories of struggling to do any better even when I knew how and maybe the path will become easier for you! My exercise is to notice any disconnection today between where I know what to do and I do the opposite. I noticed a small one in writing this description as I was uploading. In the small space between starting my upload and tabbing Google Chrome over to Evernote to write my description, I knew I would be better off avoiding checking the cryptocurrency prices BUT I did it anyway. 5 minutes later, I felt worse and tabbed back over here to share that even as I look at this in my own life, the constant temptation is there to deviate from the path that seems simple and obvious into complexity and opportunity.

This morning I woke up in a FOUL mood and within just a few minutes I was able to change it into an amazing feeling of JOY! Would you like to hear the story and exactly what I did? First, I honestly admitted I was full of fear, anxiety, and on the edge of another day filled with depression. Before getting out of bed, I prayed to stay sober and be unconditionally loving with the people in my life. In getting out of the bedroom, I spent around 30 minutes getting my daughter ready for the day from diaper change to a new outfit, reading, and play time. During this time, I felt so bad I cried on and off for half the time WITHOUT choosing a REASON that I felt that way. The feeling was there and rationally there was nothing wrong. Many times in my life I had fell into the trap of creating someone outside of me to blame when the truth is sometimes we just feel bad for no reason. After the miracle of not pointing a reason outside of me for how I felt, I took action based on what works for Tony Robbins to PRIME
