The Power of Zero Tolerance | Isabelle Mercier | TEDxStanleyPark

95% of North Americans either go to bed or wake up worrying about something. Yet, worrying is the #1 killer of creativity, performance and dreams. When revolutionary brand strategist Isabelle Mercier-Turcotte discovered “What we tolerate we worry about,” she realized a little structure brings a lot of inner flexibility and freedom. The result is her simple yet powerful model to help you instantly decrease worry and increase peace of mind.
Isabelle Mercier - isabelle@leapzonestrategies.com - is a ‘no-nonsense’ dynamo born to catapult passionate entrepreneurs to build infectious and impactful brands, businesses and lives.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    My name is Stephanie and I was also the bully at my school. I am so sorry to anyone who felt my wrath. I was isolated within my own family due to my mother's rejection of who I was. My sadness & loneliness manifested into anger & ruthlessness. I hope that anyone I hurt has healed and went on to meet life with nothing but acceptance and success.

    Not avoiding, is exhausting as well! I was bullied ....from my first school, my family (no family protected me)...to school (no teacher defended me), work (no manager supported me). My patients loved me, my family members loved me...but I never had any defense. Up tp two years ago, bullied by the healthcare system that left me to die. I survived, and then still got no help. I never EVER enabled a bully. Don't think I am boasting and all proud, because while I can thank God for the strength and fortitude, I wasn't unscathed - a lot of abuse FOR not going along with the bullies. Excellent though, agree about the "smart" deVICEs which I believe was one of THE worst inventions. SocialistDistancing 101. Very,very good. Thank you :)

    This is awesome and very well told! Love your style and you do look free from worries! My father was a worrying person until the day he died. He worried about his children, family, loved ones, even the politics and the country, so we, as the children, have to make him not worry. I quit that cycle because it was manipulative and I don’t want to hide things just to make him not worry. I was hated big time by the family when I told the my truth. Felt guilty a bit but I felt free and liberated to be me and live my life. It is my life, his happiness is his responsibility, not mine.

    So true! After I going though separation from my ex, my "appointment's with worry" was my therapy I had for a year. Talking about everything that I was upset about and going through used to make me feel worse. I felt relieved when it ended. Going to the gym during that year was very therapeutic and empowering. Also, saying "no" to toxic people. 💪 Amazing TED talk, thank you!🙌❤☺

    Great talk and I particularly appreciated the way in which you admitted to still worrying yourself. In Buddhism there is this idea that "what you turn your mind to you become"and I very much paralyse myself with worry much of my life. Learning to live in the moment and put worries aside for later is a very good thing.

    Today I spoke my truth and got rid of such a weight !!! THANK YOU. I'm glad I stumbled upon this eye opening message a few days ago. I've been very stressed about a project I was asked to volunteer for. At first I was in but once I started to get more information about it and start to work with the team I had this guy feeling inside of me telling me I wasn't feeling it and that I didn't want to do it. But I didn't listen to myself and tried as hard as I could to force myself into it but deep down, I knew I was forcing myself (and not in a good way). It was litteraly consuming me with worry. So today I decided I was going to be brave and SPEAK MY TRUTH, be HONEST. And guess what ??? The person I spoke with was really understanding and kind and thanked me for my honesty. I am so happy that I took the decision to be honest. Now I feel so relieved and I feel stronger.

People love to project their issues on others, I've stepped away from it. This talk gave me one more tool in my journey. Thank you! 💙

    What we tolerate is what we worry about... what a great point. It's like saying, if you don't want to clean the stains off the carpet later, don't let the muddy shoes walk in. I LOVE it!! We don't listen to our thoughts enough to know that we actually know that we have the CHOICE to think them, we just assume they come and we NEED to think them. And it's so not true. God bless you and your share, it was refreshing to hear you talk.

    I very much enjoyed your stories and the formula! I truly admit when I keep to my routine in the mornings, walking my pups first thing, and spending an hour moving around. Playtime with my family and animals. Then I head to the computer, open the Tube and start a motivational video. Then I write down the "Start Today" by Racheal Hollis. Where you write out 5 things you're grateful for, 10 dreams I have already accomplished, and the last is the goal I will achieve first. Then I am usually mentally prepared to start studying. What she has to say really has resonated with me and I am going to watch it a few more times. Thank you, Isabelle!

    A wise man once told me "If you wake up tomorrow morning, and you think 'Gee, I'm glad I worried about that!' then it was worth the worry... if you worry about something, think "will I be happy to have worried about this tomorrow morning," dismiss that thought and do something that makes you or others happy instead.
