Bedros Keuilian: Mastering The 4 Pillars of Happiness

HEART WIDE OPEN: Creating happiness in our lives, especially in this fast-paced modern industrialized world, can be a challenge at times, but it's in that very challenge where we find our gifts.

If you're open to inspiration, this episode with one of the most inspirational men in the health and fitness world, Bedros Keuilian delivers. We're going deep into how we can become more emotionally resilient and master the four pillars of happiness:

Money, meaning, health, and relationships, and the balancing of all four is what truly creates a life of abundance and wellness that we all deserve, but getting there and working to maintain is not a linear process for us and definitely was not for Bedros.

Happiness, The Immigrant Edge, and the American Dream

Anger, guilt, confusion, and shame.

These were all emotions that Bedros Keuilian felt as he worked with his therapist to reconnect with the little boy he once was in Armenia during the Soviet Union era.

When Bedros was able to check in with himself and his subconscious thoughts, he discovered that his Immigrant Edge, American Dream, and self-belief are his tools to use for success, confidence, and happiness.

How can we let go of the past in order to regain happiness, inner strength, and self-fulfillment?

When we don't push forward in our lives, we may be pulled back into feeling negative emotions such as frustration, depression, and anxiety.

On today's episode of Wellness + Wisdom, one of the fitness industry's most trusted consultant as well as both the Founder and CEO of Fit Body Boot Camp and creator of the Fitness Business Summit, Bedros Keuilian, shares with us how we become emotionally resilient, discover adversity, and live the life that we want through The 4 Pillars of Happiness and HALT:

The 4 Pillars of Happiness:

  1. Money
  2. Meaning
  3. Health
  4. Relationships

Beat anxiety with HALT:

  • Hungry
  • Angry
  • Lonely
  • Tired

When you stop feelings of hunger, anger, loneliness, and being tired, you can also beat anxiety in its tracks.

This episode is a wonderful reminder that without the knowledge of self, we can't have money, meaning, health, or relationships.

How Successful People Think

Top 3 Takeaways From The Show

  • When you want to start a new project, a career, or make a major life change, there will be people out there you will tell you that you can't do it or it's not a good idea. A lot of times, those people are our families and they will go against our dreams because they don't want us to fail. However, if you have a goal that you want to accomplish, you're more likely to do it when you don't tell your family about it. Don't tell you family about your business because they will probably only have negative thoughts about it. Instead, talk to people who are going to get excited with you and are there to encourage your dream.
  • When we are emotionally resilient and have experienced adversity, it is easier for us to let go from people and situations that trigger our negative emotions.  Experiencing a difficult moment can help us keep calm and move forward with our lives.
  • If you're feeling overwhelmed and stressed, it's okay to hit the pause button. Go ahead to cancel and schedule that meeting or task. If you want to succeed, put your self first and take care of yourself both emotionally and physically.

Power Quotes From Bedros Keuilian

  • “The immigrant edge mentality is about getting resourceful when you don't have any resources. You realize that no matter how bad things get in the USA, they're still better than in any other place in the world.” – Bedros Keuilian on how he gained the Immigrant Edge during his transition from Armenia to the USA.
  • “Even if you have a job, go start a side project, be part of a charity, or do something like build a house in a third-world country with Habitat for Humanity. These experiences will give you the environmental exposure that allows you to build your emotional resiliency and adversity. If you can grow your emotional and adversity quotient, you will be a well-rounded human that can deal with any adversity or difficult factor when it comes. Not if it comes, but when it comes because stressful events are sure to come in anyone's life.” – Bedros Keuilian on how to build emotional resiliency and adversity.
  • “Adversity is an advantage and I started to re-frame my thinking about negative factors. Anything bad that happens is actually a learning lesson towards something better.” – Bedros Keuilian on the power of adversity.
  • “Enough is never enough. I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing forever because I know that if I don't focus on dominating my path and my purpose, I will go deep into my darkness and the monster will come out. I will begin to think about what happened to me as a kid in Armenia.” – Bedros Keuilian on the importance of doing what you love to do and how it helps to keep you moving forward.
  •  “When you are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired, it's so easy for your body to manifest anxiety and that's what happened to me. If I can stop myself from feeling those emotions, I can stop my anxiety in its tracks.” – Bedros Keuilian on his therapist teaching him about HALT and how it helped him with his anxiety and negative emotions.
  • “It's highly important to process the negativity in your life. Negativity thoughts are like a computer virus. They may go into isolation, but you can never completely kill a computer virus and there's new software to cover it up. The moment you stop updating your software, that virus might just come back out again. Stay on your path of domination and do good because the moment you don't, you can go inward into the darkness and try to find problems that we need to  be”fixed” when in reality you're just delving into depression.” -Bedros Keuilian on fighting negative thoughts and staying strong.

About The Author, Lauren Bryant, Podcast Production

lauren bryant wellness forceLauren Bryant is the Podcasting Assistant and Show Notes Writer for Wellness + Wisdom. She has a BBA in both Marketing and Spanish for Business as well as certificates in Advanced Business Communications and International Business from the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire.

Lauren’s wellness journey began at a young age when she joined her local YMCA swim team, The Wave, of La Crosse, WI. One of the most profound views on wellness that anyone has said to her was when she was an assistant swim coach for that same YMCA swim team.

One day during a practice, former head swim coach, Jon Brenner, shared with her that the most important thing about coaching the swimmers was that “It doesn’t matter if they become the best athletes in the world. What’s important is that we give them the tools and guidance they need to live a healthy, active lifestyle for the rest of their lives.”

Since hearing those words, she has taken it to heart to not only focus on continuously living her own healthy lifestyle, but to help others pursue their wellness goals as well.

Lauren’s not only an avid swimmer, but a fan of running, yoga, cooking, and doing any activity outside that involves being surrounded by nature. In the Fall of 2014, she completed a long-awaited goal of walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain.

According to Lauren, wellness is about finding gratitude and joy in doing any type of physical or self-care activity that we love. Wellness means providing ourselves with self-love, good nutrition, and the inner peace that our individual minds and bodies need.
