Jamie Kern Lima! Jamie, you're so inspiring. Jamie Kern Lima! Jefferson Fisher, welcome to the Jamie Kern Lima Show!
Starting point is 00:02:21 Thank you so much for. Jamie Kern Lima. Jefferson Fisher, welcome to the Jamie Kern Lima show. Thank you so much for having me, Jamie. I'm honored to be here. I'm so excited you're here. Wow, what has happened with you, with your advice, with your videos, it has become a phenomenon. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:02:43 You're very sweet, thank you. Yeah, it's truly been a blessing and right now I'm just holding on. Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm excited so much to dive into today. I am so excited to talk to you about arguments. How we master arguments and communication and the tools that we can apply
Starting point is 00:03:05 to master arguments. You talk about one of the most powerful ways to diffuse an argument, the one phrase that shuts down a toxic conversation, and I wanna ask you about three tools though that you teach that I think are so powerful. Your new book, The Next Conversation, that I've read cover to cover. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:03:28 It is just packed with things we can apply to our life right now. Thank you. But I want to ask you about specifically when it comes to mastering arguments and conversations, because we all have them and some of us have them but avoid them. Some of us don't want to deal with them, some of us don't know how, some of us let them take us down, some of us let them feel deeply personal, we don't know how to handle them, maybe we didn't learn from our parents or we didn't learn from how we were raised or school. I think that these are the tools that can fundamentally change all the relationships in your life. And so three tools you talk about when it comes to mastering
Starting point is 00:04:11 arguments and conversations, can you talk about conversational breath, quick scan, and a small talk? Yes. These are all about saying it with control. So when you think about a conversation that turns into an argument, like it's just that sense that the tone didn't sound right. I don't like how they said that. And all of a sudden things start to spur in your mind, and maybe your nostrils start to flare and you start to kind of bow up a little bit. Or somebody says a word that's not kind and you start to spiral. Did they just say what I think they said? When those things kind of happen, thoughts start to speed up. So does your breath. Your breath gets faster, like you're ready to run. That's your fight or flight. You're ready to run. And or you're ready to hurt. So you really want to say that
Starting point is 00:05:01 that hurtful word. You want the word to cut because you're wanting that threat of whatever they said or Whatever they did to go away. They just undermine me your body says I don't like that. Hey, I don't like that and all of a sudden you start to get defensive a conversational breath the power of it is it allows you to Sink back down to make sure that your emotions stay in check where you don't feel emotionally flooded It always keeps your logical analytical side of your brain in motion. Same thing with Navy SEALs in the military. They do tactical breathing. So what a conversational breath does, it takes advantage of the research
Starting point is 00:05:35 that's already out there on what they call a physiological sigh. And so it's injecting a sigh into your breath without sounding like one, but you get the benefits of it. And how you do it is you breathe in, and at the very top, you breathe in just a little bit more, for one second, and you release. And so always the exhale needs to be a little bit longer than the inhale. So it's typically a two-second inhale, then a one-second at the top, and then you got about a five to seven,
Starting point is 00:06:06 or five, six second exhale. And you just do that often. That's gonna be your first breath that you take. That's going to allow you to continue to keep your analytical side engaged before you go into that argument. It's gonna keep you calm every single time. So that's the power of a conversational breath.
Starting point is 00:06:24 It's like swimming, but you never have to go up for air. It allows you to stay locked in, in the zone. So it changes your body in an argument. It takes advantage of what you know about your body. What do we know? We know that we engage in fight or flight. You get that threat, that trigger, and all of a sudden I'm on fire. The breath does. It's the number one way of pulling yourself down and saying, no, no, no, there's no threat. I'm not going to be emotionally overloaded in this moment. I'm going to make sure I'm locked in. And
Starting point is 00:06:55 that's what happens when you say calm, you know, the person goes starts a rapid, rapid, rapid, and they try to draw you in. That's in, that's where the power is, is you're allowing yourself to stay calm in that moment. And somebody being calm in the face of conflict is a very, it's an impressive moment. When you see people that are calm in the face of fear or face of stress, it's a sign that this person is emotionally regulated.
Starting point is 00:07:22 They know how to keep themselves in check. This is so good because, you know, in a leadership role, if you're leading a team, if you're head of the family, if any of it, right, and you are the one that's able to keep your calm in these situations, people automatically respect you and they automatically see you as the person to turn to for leadership. And so much of our, for many of us, our humanness, we react so fast, like, what did you say? Wait, what? Uh-uh, did you, I mean, it's just so easy to do it. And so Jefferson, so this tool, this tool's big, okay. Okay, because this is how you get your power back
Starting point is 00:08:02 and this is how you don't lose your power in an argument. Like when it's just getting started. So when you feel like an argument's happening or it's transpiring and you feel it brewing, do you do this right away? You just take a breath, you go in for a few seconds. Can you teach us one more time? I'm gonna do it with you.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's gonna be two seconds. Do it with us at home. Okay. One second at the top. And then about six seconds out And it's allowing you to pull it out if you can you try and do it through your nose because it's smaller nasal passages Breath goes out slower that calms you down
Starting point is 00:08:40 So it's it's a way of when your mouth breathing all the time you breathe in more oxygen And it triggers you a little bit more it kind of keeps you in a little great state of anxiety when you're always breathing with your mouth. Breathing through your nose allows you to slow it down. So when you see, when you ever see somebody that they're unhappy and they kind of their nostrils flare and they go like they're trying to, their body is in that moment without them even knowing it, try to calm them down through their breathing. And so when you're able to concentrate on your breath, it truly, it's the number one thing, Jamie, that you can do to calm yourself in the moment before you escalate. Because what happens if you don't take that breath
Starting point is 00:09:19 is exactly what you said. It's the, excuse me, did you say, and you start to just boom you're done you're gone. And now you're in fight or fight. Yeah it's extremely hard. Totally differently. Yeah. You've lost your power. And you're not the same person. You're not the same person. That's what I call the ignition phase. As soon as things start to turn to friction and they combust you're now ignited and now your your pupils they'll dilate. You ever seen that? They'll dilate to make sure that you're focused in.
Starting point is 00:09:47 So your focus narrows, so you can concentrate on what's around you. Make sure it's your body saying, do I need to run? Is there something under the bush? What have we got? I mean, that's why your palms feel sweaty all of a sudden. You don't feel hungry because your body's suppressing any hunger
Starting point is 00:10:01 to get you ready to run. Your heartbeat goes faster. That's why people, their voice will shake, their eyes will water. It's their body preparing them to get going. People who want to leave a conversation. This I know will resonate with anybody. You've been in that conversation on the phone and all of a sudden you just go, I just want out. People who want to leave a room. People want to to leave a room. People who want to hang up the phone.
Starting point is 00:10:27 It's the emotion, it's the overwhelm of their fight or flight going, get out of here. Get away from the threat. I just need to leave. So it's the same way with people. Let's say we have a couple that is, they're not great at communicating. When they're in fight or flight,
Starting point is 00:10:43 it is natural to want to pick up something and throw it. I mean, it's just what it is. And instead we do it with our words. The flip side of it is to run from that, your flight is, I want to leave, I want to slam the door, I want to get away from them. I don't want to talk to them anymore. It's the same exact concept. You're just doing it with your words.
Starting point is 00:11:02 So good. And the second one, second tool, on this topic of mastering arguments, that's so good. Just that tool right there. That's really, really good. And again, I love that we can just do it because you're taking your power back.
Starting point is 00:11:16 You're not going into fight or flight and you're less likely to do things you regret. You're more likely to be able to unravel and resolve. And ask yourself questions like, where's this coming from? And that's a very powerful question. Ask yourself when you're taking that breath. And when I say conversational breath and walking through you with it here, that's exaggerated. You easily can do it and it does not look at all like you're doing it. I use conversational breaths, that physiological sigh before I go speak.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I might do it in a moment where I might be nervous. Using that as a way to just calm my nerves. I'll stop shaking because my body's pumped up, it's excited. But it's a great time to ask yourself in moments of conflict, where is that coming from? To ask that from that other person in your mind when they make that comment. Where is that coming from? How do they feel threatened? What is threatening them? And that's the secret of seeing it with controls that you not only get to notice these symptoms of what triggers you, it's also showing you and revealing to you the signs in the other person that when you hear that raised voice from them, what it truly is, is a plea from their body to connect, to remove the threat.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Wow. So you can apply this to every type of situation in your day-to-day life. And then when you have clients on the stand, and do you prep them like, okay, when this other attorney comes after you, do you teach them this tool to not take the bait and just react and go somewhere they don't want to go. It's one of my proudest moments when I can see a client who was struggling, getting nervous, they did not like it. I mean, what I do is I'm offering them to the wolves and for people to try to hurt their credibility, prove them wrong. And a lot of things are at stake. But when they take a breath and I walk it through them,
Starting point is 00:13:05 I mean, it's always, we run through a list and one of the things I'll have them repeat is, oh, what's the first thing you do? And they say, my first word is my breath. To allow them, when they get that question from the opposing attorney, they're going to breathe, they're not gonna automatically engage because that's how you know that you're gonna start
Starting point is 00:13:23 to spiral unless you give it to them. But That's the power of just a conversational breath allows you to do a whole lot more. Alright the second tool there's so much more coming up in this episode you are not gonna want to miss it but first I wanted to share this with you.

And now more of this incredible conversation together. All right, the second tool, quick scan. Yes. Quick scan. Yes, so quick scanning is something that developed over meditating,
Starting point is 00:16:24 which was new to me, and of its ability to scan your body in real time. Often if I'm getting worked up, it's because my shoulders are really tense. My jaw is... I clench my jaw a lot, but that's where I hold my stress, or in my shoulders. So you can tell things when your fists are clenched. And what we do is we ignore those symptoms. So many times if you scan your body,
Starting point is 00:16:51 meaning right now if you just sat and go, okay, I'm just gonna breathe, what's my body telling me? Where's my discomfort? Maybe you had a pain in your back, you didn't really realize. Do you start at your head and just kind of like, do you close your eyes or can you do it without anyone else knowing if you're like in a crowded room?
Starting point is 00:17:06 Right, you can do it exactly where you are right now. Okay, everyone at home do this with us right now. You can do it. Teach us how to do this. Absolutely. You can do it right where you're sitting right now. So let's say even if you're driving, you can do it too. It is the ability to start with your head
Starting point is 00:17:24 and slowly scan down your body And you're gonna be looking for where you tight. Where are you holding your tension? Where are you? Where do you have your knots? It might be in your jaw might be behind your ears It might be in your your shoulders. It might even be Sometimes in your your feet of how you're positioning yourself sometimes in your feet of how you're positioning yourself, where is the stress coming from? And what you need to do is find a word, and it's going to come to you. A promise is going to come to you. You're going to find a word of how you're feeling in this moment.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Just take a second to think about it. What's the word that's coming to you in this moment? There's no right or wrong. And you know what? You don't even have to find a word if you don't want to. It's just you're expressing the feeling. Your body knows it. And once you have it, try to say it in your head.
Starting point is 00:18:12 And when you do, relax your body right in that moment. And automatically, you're gonna feel more control of your body. You're gonna feel more control of your mind. Because what you're doing is you're finding in that moment where the stress is, you're releasing it, and you're labeling your emotions. What I say is when you can claim it, you control it. So when you can find that, for example, let's say I'm feeling tense, or I'm feeling angry, or I'm patient. I do this when I'm in the, I'm gonna say I'm at the grocery store, it's taking forever,
Starting point is 00:18:46 which yeah, a lot to be said there, but if I say, just scan my body, say patients or impatient, all of a sudden I'm now labeling what exactly I'm feeling in real time. And then I feel like, okay, it's separated from myself. I'm detaching from it. I am not de-feeling. I am only experiencing that feeling. And over time, what I've learned is, you don't have to have this full top of the head
Starting point is 00:19:13 to the bottom of the toes. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Like right now, I can tell you where I'm feeling tension or I'm carrying my stress of all what's happening. And the more you understand where it's coming from, the better you're gonna be able to ask questions about it because your body's hiding stress. As a wonderful book, The Body Keeps the Score.
Starting point is 00:19:34 I mean, it's just this idea of your body knows stress where you're keeping it, way better than you do. I would be the first to tell you that two years ago, if you said, hey, do you get stressed? You have anxiety? I'd say, no, no, I don't. In February of two years ago, I had my first panic attack and I thought I was, I thought I was dying. I thought I was having a heart attack because I was so convinced when the doctor came in and he goes, do you have anxiety? I said, no.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I remember looking at my wife and like, tell him, I don't have anxiety. I'm cold as a cucumber. And she looked at him, she like nodded, like, yes, he does. So often your body is the one that keeps the stress as you just, you're convincing yourself otherwise. So doing a quick scan is a very easy, easy way that you can do it anytime, anywhere that's going to allow you to better recognize how you're feeling in that moment. That's so good. Let's just say you're in a room with a group and someone's doing something and you're getting so angry, you're about to say something or it's really bothering you. So in that moment, I'm just letting anyone knowing it, you can just scan your body, then have that word, which might be frustration or disbelief or betrayal
Starting point is 00:20:45 or whatever it might be. And in your mind, you're naming it. And then now you're sort of like able to observe it. You feel it in your body. You make the decision to sort of like release it if you can, or at least acknowledge it. And now you're more in control about, huh, maybe right now in this moment,
Starting point is 00:21:02 I'm not going to roll my eyes at the person, or I'm not going to get up and leave or I'm not gonna say something I might regret. You kind of do this tool so that you're in control and you can decide how am I gonna respond. You got it. Yeah. In my mind I have a desk. Like I have a desk, I have my file cabinets in my mind of what I like to do and think of with a quick scan. It's like I'm writing it down on a sheet of paper and I'm looking at it and then I am making the choice to put it back down on the desk. As I'm not carrying it, I'm not putting it with me, I'm not putting it in my pocket, I'm not wearing it. I have now
Starting point is 00:21:37 observed it and go, huh, okay, that's anger. All right. And then I put it back down. And you leave it. And then you leave it. And it's not stuck on you, it's not in you. It's not with you. Exactly. It doesn't mean that wasn't valid. It doesn't mean that it wasn't real, that I didn't feel it. It's just what do you do with it? What do you do with it? Yeah. And it gives you your power. Exactly. It gives you your power back. Unless you say, okay, I've scanned it. I've looked at it. I don't need that right now. Okay. The third tool, small talk. Oh, so small talks, with the power of
Starting point is 00:22:06 that is, it's not like a, sounds like an affirmation, this idea of having a small talk with yourself. The difference between a small talk and affirmation is affirmation is more like, I am enough, I am worthy, where it's kind of this intrinsic thing. A small talk is a way to or it's kind of this intrinsic thing. A small talk is a way to bring up who you want to be when you communicate. And there are lots of different ways that, excuse me, that you can have a small talk. What I found with my lessons that I teach, and I use them, I use small talks for myself. Well, first let me define it. A small talk is nothing more than a conversation that you quickly have with yourself. It can be two sentences, it can be one sentence, it can be a phrase.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And I write them down at the top of my yellow legal pad in trial. And these are things like, wait for the right pitch, let the facts speak for themselves. These things that you be Jefferson, like that is ways, these are ways that I am recalling in the moment, who do you want to be? How do I want to show up for myself? And how do I want other people to experience me? And I have done it and worked with every client that I have to work on their small talk of who do you wanna be
Starting point is 00:23:23 when you communicate? And one of my favorites is I had a client who her small talk was tell him Doris. Tell him Doris, which was a line that her grandfather would tell her grandmother when her grandmother was getting worked up about something was gonna tell them pull them up on side and down the other, tell them something. And so she wanted to have that confidence of her grandmother. And so she would say to herself in her mind, no, tell them doors. And so that gave her the confidence to say what she wanted to say.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Small talk is something that you keep intrinsic to you. You can write them down, but they're just little mementos or reminders of how you want to show up. They're not something to say out loud, put them on a billboard, they're not public. It's just what relates to you and how you want to react. Maybe it's something about not wanting to interrupt. Maybe it's something of wanting to make sure you stay in your ground the next time that somebody says that thing. It's an agreement with yourself of making sure that, like a mini huddle this is how I'm gonna show up every single time and you do it by starting with a verb so if it's stand up or speak
Starting point is 00:24:30 slowly like for mine was wait for the right pitch begin with a verb why a verb because it puts it into action because it makes it tangible verbs feel movement so whenever you can use the power of language, use a verb. A verb is what's going to give you that little bit of a power punch to say, now I'm going to put this in a motion. It's not more passive like an affirmation of I am worthy, I am enough. No, it is telondorus. It is, you know, stand your ground. These things that are going to allow you to use it. Like for example, in taking it personally, a great one is put it down.
Starting point is 00:25:07 I'd say, put it down, Jefferson. I use that all the time. I tell myself. When somebody says something, I read a text or an email and I read it negative in my head and I'm ready to respond to them. Put it down, Jefferson. And so you see how that's connected to me looking at the paper and putting it on the desk?
Starting point is 00:25:24 Yes, and putting it down on your desk? You got it. Yeah. That small talk means so much to you. Exactly. And everybody listening has their own little nugget that they keep to themselves of what's important to them, what matters to them. Is it something with your family? Is it something that's connected to your values that drives who you want to be?
Starting point is 00:25:42 How do your legacy to play out? So good, and it gives you that North Star. It really does. Right? In every moment. Just a little mini pep talk with yourself. That is so good. So everyone at home right now, think about what is your small talks, right? The ones that you want to have, that you're going to channel and tap into, like who you want to be, right?
Starting point is 00:26:01 So like redirect. Yes. Redirect your focus in those moments. What I love so much about these three tools is they also just put you back in your power, right? They give you the power now to decide how I'm gonna handle this argument or how I'm gonna handle this conversation
Starting point is 00:26:18 versus like you're in fight or flight and you don't even have control over what's about to happen. You got it. And you're about to repeat patterns in the past and all the things and these three tools give you your power. I love Jefferson that you say, you don't have to attend every argument you're invited to.
