1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: You don't just want that car. You want confidence that 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: you think comes with that car. You don't want that home, 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: you want safety that you believe comes with that home. 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: You don't just want that business, you want the self 5 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: esteem that you believe comes from that business building it. 6 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: And so as you're creating your vision board, it's important 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: that you also create a verbal board, a verbal board 8 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: of the emotions that you're hoping those things translate into 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: the number one health and wellness podcast set Jay Shed. Everyone, 10 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: welcome back to On Purpose. Here we are weak two 11 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: of the year, and I really really hope that you're 12 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: feeling clear about your goals this year. I hope you 13 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: feeling clear about what you're trying to manifest this year. 14 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: Last week, I gave you the hacks, the habits, the tools, 15 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: the practices in order to make sure you achieve your goals. 16 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: I gave you my tried and tested, proven method. And 17 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 1: today I want to give you that shift in your mindset. See, 18 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: achieving your goals is both an external and an internal 19 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: aspiration and method. What I mean by that is externally, 20 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: you need the strategies, the steps, the habits, the hacks, 21 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: the tools. Everything I gave you last week, And what 22 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: you need today is the mindset, the internal belief system, 23 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: the ability to visualize, to create from within your mind. 24 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: The power that exists within our mind is so underestimated 25 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: and so underrated, and a lot of people will discard 26 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: it as woo woo, or they'll discard it as esoteric 27 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. But the truth is, there's 28 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: enough research now to prove that the power of the 29 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: mind is unbelievable. And I think we watch people do 30 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: incredible things every day, whether it's athletes, musicians, singers, performers. 31 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: We have to recognize that the ability to stretch and 32 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: build our minds to achieve unbelievable things exist within all 33 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: of us. And today I want to walk you through 34 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: that manifestation mindset. If you are going to make this 35 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: year the year that you attract what you deeply desire 36 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: and want in life, then I want to help you 37 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: get there through the right mindset. Sometimes you can get 38 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: somewhere by pushing, and sometimes you get somewhere by feeling pulled. 39 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: I want you to have both inside your toolkit. Right. 40 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: I think we know we need to push forward, we 41 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: need to work hard. I'm not going to sit here 42 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: and say Hey, you'll just receive and you'll just attract. 43 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't believe in that, and I don't think that's 44 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: a healthy idea to have out there. At the same time, 45 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: I know lots of people who keep pushing, but they 46 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: never feel pulled by what they're building. So let's start 47 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: with step one of the manifestation mindset. Step one is 48 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: deeply know why you want what you want, and how 49 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: are you going to use it to serve and improve 50 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: the lives of others. This is such an important point 51 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: that is often overstepped. We always make it about us, 52 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: and just think about that for a second. When you 53 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: make something about you and you alone, you've actually limited 54 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: the energy. Manifestation is all about abundance. It's about creating beyond, 55 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: it's about impacting beyond. Peter de Amande's put it best. 56 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: He said, I want to redefine the word billionaire to 57 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: be someone who impacts a billion people. That's really what 58 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: someone's doing. When someone creates something large, big, humongous, they've 59 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: done it because they've affected a lot of people. They've 60 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: directly or indirectly improved the lives or affected the lives 61 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: of lots of people. And therefore the size of their 62 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: success is equivalent to the size of the problem they've solved. 63 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: If our only wise to solve our problem, which, by 64 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: the way, in the beginning, survival is totally fine as 65 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: a method of manifestation. But if we can extend it 66 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: a little bit further, for it to be about improving 67 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: the lives of others, for it to be about representing 68 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: and creating an impact, for it to be about service, 69 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: incredible things can happen. Think about it. Are you trying 70 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: to change the life of your kids. Are you trying 71 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: to change the life of your partner or your parents. 72 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: Are you trying to change the life of your community. 73 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: Are you trying to inspire future generations. It's not that 74 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: you think you're that big, it's not that you think 75 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: you're that important. It's that you know you're being driven 76 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: by more than just numbers and data. I think so 77 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: many people give up on their goals because their only 78 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: motivation is to do it for themselves, and their only 79 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: motivation is to provide for a limited capacity. But if 80 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: we truly want to align with abundance, we also have 81 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: to think abundantly. Now, how do we do this? Step 82 00:05:53,640 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: number two is mastering the subconscious moments. There are two 83 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: two times of the day where we're most in our subconscious, 84 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: that state between being awake and being asleep. Notice how 85 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: when you're just about to fall asleep, maybe having a 86 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: conversation with someone. You're talking to someone and you can 87 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: still hear your voice, but you can hear it get 88 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: quieter and then slowly it turns off. Or in the morning, 89 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: when you wake up and you allow yourself to just 90 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: settle for a few moments, you haven't fully opened your eyes, 91 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: you haven't grabbed for your phone yet. You know you're 92 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: awake and you're not fully asleep. These two times of 93 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: the day are such a powerful time to manifest because 94 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: what we're doing is we're planting ideas deep in our 95 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: subconscious that then have the ability to grow fruits and 96 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: bear fruits as they grow throughout the day. So what 97 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: I've been practicing for a few years now is that 98 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: in these subconscious moments, I will implant my affirmations, and 99 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: so I will affirm the mindset I want to live by. 100 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: I am living a life of service and impact. I'm 101 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: doing it because I believe that everyone deserves the tools, 102 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to 103 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: share it with billions of people across the world. When 104 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: you use those moments, what happens is that cynical, doubtful 105 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: part of you is a bit quieter, that part of 106 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: you that's always challenging, maybe even having negative self talk 107 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: towards your ideas, is a little bit more silenced, and 108 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: you have the ability almost to sneak past that cynical 109 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: god and plant that thought. And all you have to 110 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: do is just stop yourself from reaching for your phone 111 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: for that thirty seconds to one minute. Have three affirmations 112 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: that you've rehearsed, that you know off by heart, that 113 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: you remember to say just in that moment. And hey, 114 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: by the way, when you first start this, you're going 115 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: to get it wrong. You're going to reach for your phone. 116 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: And what I want you to do is just let 117 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: go of your phone and maybe even make it the 118 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: background of your phone. Make your three affirmations the background 119 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: of your phone so you see them, Put your phone down, 120 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: close your eyes again, and read them to yourself. I 121 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: am followed by whatever it is that you wish to be, 122 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: that you wish to become. Now, what does this do. 123 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,599 Speaker 1: It's not magic in the sense that all of a 124 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: sudden you wake up and the thing you asked for 125 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: is there. That's not how manifestation works. What we're doing 126 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: is we're training our subconscious that is already being pulled 127 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: towards a negativity bias, that's already being distracted by everything 128 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: else that's going wrong. Right, what we find for a 129 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: lot of us is we want to solve the easiest issue, 130 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: even if it's not the deepest issue. Right. You want 131 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: to solve the problem that makes you feel like you're busy, 132 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: as opposed to solve the problem that actually makes your 133 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: life easy it's really interesting. And our mind does the 134 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: same thing. It rushes towards the things we can solve 135 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: and make us feel productive, even though the thing we're 136 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: actually trying to solve is something we're ignoring. And in 137 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: these subconscious moments, you get to rewire that. You get 138 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: to rewire your attention, your energy, and your focus subconsciously 139 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: towards the things that really matter, towards the things that 140 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: you want to be immersed in. If you say that 141 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: in the morning, I promise you when it gets to midday, 142 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: you'll still be thinking of it subconsciously and you'll actually 143 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: make the right decision. If you repeat I am happy, 144 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: I'm healthy, and I'm healing, you will make choices that 145 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: day to be happier, to be healthier, to be healing. 146 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: But when the mindset we wake up with is oh God, 147 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: I'm just so tired, I'm just exhausted, I just I 148 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: wish I didn't have to go to work today. Now 149 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: that's what you're feeling throughout the day. I call it 150 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: the rule of your most repeated thought. You will manifest 151 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: your most repeated thought. You can even monitor. This is 152 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: step three. What are your most repeated words to someone? 153 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: If someone says, hey, what are you excited about for 154 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: this year? And your answer is, oh, I don't know, really, 155 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: I haven't really thought about it, and you keep saying that, 156 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: what ends up happening. You keep saying it, and you 157 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: keep thinking it, and you keep believing it. What we say, 158 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: we think, we believe what we think. We say it 159 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: and then believe it. Our beliefs are based on what 160 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: we think and say consistently and repeatedly. Your most repeated 161 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: thought comes your reality. The thought that you say the most, 162 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: the thought that you think the most, is the thought 163 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: that you will believe the most and some of the 164 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: things we've said to ourselves for weeks, months, years, and 165 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: decades define our trajectory without us even knowing. We have 166 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,239 Speaker 1: to shift at a subconscious level to transform our reality. 167 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: I know you can do this. I believe you can 168 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: do this. And when you repeat these affirmations and these thoughts, 169 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: I want you to mean it in your mind. I 170 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: want you to feel it in your heart, and I 171 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: want you to believe it in your body. It's really key, 172 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: and in these sub conscious times, you're actually able to 173 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: do that. Mean it in your mind, believe it in 174 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: your body, and feel it in your heart. Step four. 175 00:11:54,559 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: Visualize the process, not the result. I'll explain what I 176 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: mean if I ever say to someone, hey, close your 177 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: eyes and visualize who you want to be, where you 178 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: want to be. We often visualize the podium, not the process. 179 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: We visualize winning, not training. You visualize achieving not building. 180 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 1: You visualize the ending, not the starting. If you want 181 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: manifestation to work for you, if you want to attract 182 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: the life that you truly desire, it's about visualizing the process, 183 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: not perfection. So many of us wegte so much time 184 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: and energy focused on what it will look like when 185 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: we get there. And while it's important to feel that 186 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: in our body, it's more important to also train ourselves 187 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: to visualize the process waking up early, meditating, working on 188 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: our health, building that skill. What does that look like, 189 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: because that's the life we have to live. We have 190 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: to visualize the life we have to live in order 191 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: to get to the place we want to be. And 192 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: it's the life that we live that makes us great enough. 193 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: That's what greatness is. Greatness is not achieving the trophy 194 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: or winning the award, or getting top of the list. 195 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: That's not greatness. Greatness is the discipline you developed. Greatness 196 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: is the energy you harnessed. Greatness is the effort you 197 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: put in. Greatness is the skills you learned, the iterations 198 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: you made, the improvements and changes you worked hard to 199 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: deliver on. That's greatness. So visualize that process. I would 200 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: program when I lived in the monastery what I wanted 201 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: my thoughts to be in the morning. I see as coding. 202 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: At night, I would code my mind to say I 203 00:13:53,640 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: will wake up fresh, healthy, energized and enthusiastic to meditate. 204 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: And whenever I would do that and set that intention 205 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: at night, I saw that it programmed and coded my 206 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: mind to wake up with that in the morning, and 207 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: if I decided to skip that, I could force myself 208 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: to feel that in the morning. But it was so 209 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: much easier to code that the night before. You set 210 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: your alarm the night before to wake you up the 211 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: next morning. You don't set it when you want to 212 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: wake up. You set your intention, you set your coding, 213 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: you set your energy the night before. Visualize the process. 214 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: Visualize yourself doing the hard things. Visualize yourself strengthening your body, 215 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: lifting those weights, going on that run, starting that podcast, 216 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: recording an episode. Visualize the parts that are the hard parts, 217 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: because those are the parts that your life will be 218 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: made up of. Visualize the discomfort, not the comfort, because 219 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: that's what your life will be made up of. Visualize 220 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: the hard, not that easy, because that's what your mind 221 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: and heart and life will be made up of. Now, 222 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: when we talk about visualization, people often talk about vision boards. 223 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of vision boards. Why because again, 224 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: we're giving data to the mind. When I was growing up, 225 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: I remember my wall was covered in lyrics, posters of rappers, 226 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: music lines from interviews. It was surrounded I was fully 227 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: immersed by musicians, lyricists, poets. I would stick up all 228 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: this stuff with tac on my wall. My mum it 229 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: drove her crazy because it would ruin the wallpaper or 230 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: the paint or whatever she had under it. But I 231 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: loved it. And what happened that was my life. Everything 232 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: that I said sounded lyrical, everything that I felt affected me, 233 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: Everything I listened to was transforming my life. That's what 234 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: vision boards are, not an activity you do for two 235 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: hours and then just stick it up there. It's something 236 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: that allows you to immerse. And it's also picking things 237 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: that really motivate you. I think sometimes we do a 238 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: vision board very theoretically, but does that specific thing, does 239 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: that specific feeling mean something to you? And if it 240 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: is just a thing, a material thing, we have to 241 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: realize what does it stand for? What am I really 242 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: looking for? Because sometimes you're not really wanting that car. 243 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: You're wanting confidence. You're not really wanting that home. You're 244 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: wanting safety. Let's think about that for a second. You 245 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: don't just want that car. You want confidence that you 246 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: think comes with that car. You don't want that home. 247 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: You want safety that you believe comes with that home. 248 00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: You don't just want that business, you want this self 249 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: esteem that you believe comes from that business building it. 250 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: And so as you're creating your vision board, it's important 251 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: that you also create a verbal board, a verbal board 252 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: of the emotions that you're hoping those things translate into. 253 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: This is the biggest mistake people make with vision boards. 254 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: They only have things, and then when they get the thing, 255 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: they're unhappy, and when they don't get the thing, they're unhappy. 256 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: But when you recognize that that thing represented a deeper 257 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: feeling that you were craving, that you were chasing, that 258 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: you are pursuing, that becomes a worthy pursuit. Pursuing confidence 259 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: is greater than pursuing the car, and the car will 260 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: come anyway. Pursuing safety is greater than pursuing that home, 261 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: and the home will come anyway. Pursuing joy and abundance 262 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: will attract more than pursuing a material thing that may 263 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: look like it stands for that. As much as you 264 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: pursue and have a vision board, have a verbal board 265 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: of emotions and emotional vocabulary that you're pursuing. Our purpose 266 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: in life is to pursue that vocabulary, is to pursue 267 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: those emotions, is to pursue those feelings and figure out 268 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: where they come from and where they arise. The next 269 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: step as you're manifesting is you have to ask yourself, 270 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: what's multiplying in my life? So what's going well? Because 271 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: you need to zone into that. I think a lot 272 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: of the time we only focus on what's going wrong. 273 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: And when you only focus on what's going wrong, you're 274 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: not able to double down on what's going well. So 275 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: first start with what's multiplying in my life, what's cascading, 276 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: what's just growing in my life and doing extremely, extremely well? 277 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: And then what's actually needing to be subtracted from my life? 278 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: And then and what do I need to edit in 279 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: my life. One of the things I love, which I 280 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 1: learned about through speaking to some of my friends who 281 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: are therapists, is the seven seven seven method. The seven 282 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: seven seven method evolves writing down what you are trying 283 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: to manifest seven times in the morning and seven times 284 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: at night for seven days in a row. Again, what 285 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: are we doing here? What we're doing is we're programming 286 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: your mind to be focused, We're programming your energy to 287 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: be directed. I speak to so many people who say, Jay, 288 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: I want to start a podcast, I want to start 289 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 1: a business, And when I say to them, well, what 290 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: have you been reading about for the last seven days? 291 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: They go politics. I go, got it, all right, Well 292 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: that isn't align. There is an alignment there. Someone will 293 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: say to me, Jay, I already want to write a book, 294 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: and I go, great, what have you been reading recently? 295 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: What have you been learning about recently? And they say, oh, 296 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: I've just been watching the football and I go okay, 297 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: Well that is an align. Gandhi said it better. He 298 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: said that you experience harmony when what you think, what 299 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: you say, and what you do are in alignment. And 300 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: I think a lot of us are misaligned. And so 301 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: I want you to really reflect on how are you 302 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: spending your free time? Is your free time does it 303 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: sound like the life you want to live? When your 304 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: free time becomes immersed in the life you want to live, 305 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: your non free time becomes that life, And so you 306 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: want to practice, You actually want to build that skill, 307 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: You want to build that life that you so want 308 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: to live in that free thirty minutes you have per day, 309 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: rather than say I really want to do that, but 310 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: that's not what I'm focused on. I really want to 311 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: build that, but that's not where my energy is. And 312 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: I think so many of us are living a misaligned life, 313 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: and that's actually what's causing our challenges. Our stress and 314 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: challenges are not created because we don't have good intentions, 315 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: we don't have God, we don't have clear ideas. It's 316 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: because our energy and our focus are misaligned and distracted. 317 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: You can't attract the life you want if you live 318 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: a distracted life. You can't create alignment if you're living 319 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: a misaligned life. If your energy is all over the 320 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: place and your focus is dispersed, it won't suddenly shift 321 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: into feeling like an arrow. It just doesn't work that way, right, 322 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way if you're shooting lots of arrows, 323 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: or if you're looking everywhere, like let's say you're saying 324 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: this is how it actually goes. You're saying, I want 325 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: this arrow to hit the bull's eye. I wanted to 326 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: hit that red dot in the middle. But I'm actually 327 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: looking around at the leaves. I'm looking around at the trees. 328 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking around at the person over there who's kicking 329 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: a soccer ball around football, looking over that side because 330 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: someone's playing with their child and looking over that. You know, 331 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: it's like, but my energy is so distracted, how can 332 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: I attract that goal? And then, by the way, when 333 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: you take the shot, you miss the target. Every ounce 334 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: of our being has to be focused and fixated on 335 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: that target. And you say, well, Jay, how can I 336 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: because I have so many other responsibilities, And you're right, 337 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: you do and you have to do all those responsibilities. 338 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: But at the same time you're thinking about that target. 339 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: You're thinking about how what you're learning here applies to 340 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 1: that target. You're not seeing it as a space of friction, 341 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: like these things are against each other. You're actually saying, 342 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: if I solve that target, I'll actually be better at 343 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: all these things I'm distracted by, right, I'll actually make 344 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: better decisions. I was saying this to a friend recently, 345 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: where he was trying to solve something for his family, 346 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: and he's also trying to build his business, and I said, well, 347 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: if you've built that business, you'd be able to solve 348 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: that problem for your family. But while you think you're 349 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: trying to solve the problem for your family, you actually 350 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: just creating longer term issues because you're not solving the 351 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: root of the problem. Often, if you look at a tree, 352 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: you can try and spray the leaves, you can take 353 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: care of the branches. But if we're not watering and 354 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: nourishing the roots, it's not going to survive. One of 355 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: my other favorite methods is keeping books open in random places. 356 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: A book near my bedside table, which is all about sleep, 357 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: a book on my office table, which is all about creativity. 358 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: A book in my living room, which is all about 359 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: community and relationships. Even if you read one paragraph while 360 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: you're walking through that room, I promise you it's enough. 361 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: I've spent years reading, you know, trying to read a 362 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: book a day, trying to read a book a week. 363 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: It's been amazing. I've learned a lot. But that's just 364 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: not practical for most people. But if you just read 365 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: one paragraph a day, one line a day, here's the thing. 366 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: You can read a whole book and it will don't 367 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: change your life until you live one line. Read one 368 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: line of a book and try to live it. Then 369 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: read the next line and try to live it. Not 370 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: only will this make you want to read the next line, 371 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: it will make you realize how powerful every line is, 372 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: and you won't just understand it, you live realized how 373 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: knowledge can transform your life because you applied it. Read study, apply, 374 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: read study, apply, read study, apply, read, study, apply, apply 375 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: what you're reading. Keep books open in random places. Read 376 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: one line. I promise you if you keep them open 377 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: on a page, your eyes will be drawn to it, 378 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: rather than this idea of well, I'm scrolling on my 379 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: phone walking through this place. Books on a shelf, haven't 380 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: opened it, don't know what the first page is about, 381 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: right it just you keep putting it off. This is 382 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: how manifestation works. You're surrounding yoursel in that space with 383 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: the energy that you want it to have. Remember, as 384 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: I said in things like a monk, location has energy, 385 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: time has memory. And the final step I want to 386 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: share with you today is write things down on post 387 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: it notes near your mirror, your bedside, and on your laptop. 388 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: Those affirmations, those belief systems, the ideas, they have to 389 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: be around you so that your subconscious is just absorbing 390 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: them like a sponge. Our subconscious is like a child. 391 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: It absorbs whatever atmosphere it's in. And what ends up 392 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: happening is we often say, oh, when I'm at home, 393 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 1: that's when I get immersed, but when I'm at work, 394 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: I'm not there. We want to stay connected and rooted 395 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: to that energy at all times throughout the day. I 396 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: really hope, actually, I know, this will help you manifest 397 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: the life that you desire. If you practice these principles, 398 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: share them with me on Instagram, on TikTok, share your clips, 399 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: share your stories. I want to see what you're learning, 400 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: how you're growing this year. I'm with you all the way. 401 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: I'm with you all the way. I'm rooting for you 402 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: on forever in your corner. We're building this together. Twenty 403 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: twenty five is your year. This is the year on 404 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: Purpose is going to help you there. I'm going to 405 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: help you get there. Stay committed, stay connected here, and 406 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: I'll be back. Thank you so much.

Look, am I 410 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: hesitating on this because I'm scared of making the choice, 411 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: because I'm scared of doing the work, Or am I 412 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: sitting with this because it just doesn't feel right yet
