You want confidence that 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:08.639 you think comes with that car. You don't want that home, 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:13.039 you want safety that you believe comes with that home. 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:19.480 You don't just want that business, you want the self 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.400 esteem that you believe comes from that business building it. 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.960 And so as you're creating your vision board, it's important 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:33.040 that you also create a verbal board, a verbal board 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.680 of the emotions that you're hoping those things translate into 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:46.920 the number one health and wellness podcast set Jay Shed. Everyone, 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:51.520 welcome back to On Purpose.

I hope you 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.160 feeling clear about what you're trying to manifest this year. 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.200 Last week, I gave you the hacks, the habits, the tools, 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.520 the practices in order to make sure you achieve your goals. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:15.560 I gave you my tried and tested, proven method. And 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:20.559 today I want to give you that shift in your mindset. See, 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:25.760 achieving your goals is both an external and an internal 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:30.280 aspiration and method. What I mean by that is externally, 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:34.399 you need the strategies, the steps, the habits, the hacks, 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.320 the tools. Everything I gave you last week, And what 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:42.440 you need today is the mindset, the internal belief system, 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.880 the ability to visualize, to create from within your mind. 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:52.040 The power that exists within our mind is so underestimated 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:56.040 and so underrated, and a lot of people will discard 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.640 it as woo woo, or they'll discard it as esoteric 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:02.559 or whatever it may be. But the truth is, there's 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.760 enough research now to prove that the power of the 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:10.240 mind is unbelievable. And I think we watch people do 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:17.079 incredible things every day, whether it's athletes, musicians, singers, performers. 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.080 We have to recognize that the ability to stretch and 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:27.000 build our minds to achieve unbelievable things exist within all 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.440 of us. And today I want to walk you through 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:34.040 that manifestation mindset. If you are going to make this 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.480 year the year that you attract what you deeply desire 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.000 and want in life, then I want to help you 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.720 get there through the right mindset. Sometimes you can get 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:51.600 somewhere by pushing, and sometimes you get somewhere by feeling pulled. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:56.359 I want you to have both inside your toolkit. Right. 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.600 I think we know we need to push forward, we 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.360 need to work hard. I'm not going to sit here 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.359 and say Hey, you'll just receive and you'll just attract. 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.200 I don't believe in that, and I don't think that's 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.480 a healthy idea to have out there. At the same time, 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.280 I know lots of people who keep pushing, but they 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:16.240 never feel pulled by what they're building. So let's start 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:23.120 with step one of the manifestation mindset. Step one is 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:28.320 deeply know why you want what you want, and how 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.120 are you going to use it to serve and improve 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:38.160 the lives of others. This is such an important point 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.680 that is often overstepped. We always make it about us, 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.600 and just think about that for a second. When you 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.680 make something about you and you alone, you've actually limited 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:55.280 the energy. Manifestation is all about abundance. It's about creating beyond, 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:59.920 it's about impacting beyond. Peter de Amande's put it best. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.120 He said, I want to redefine the word billionaire to 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:09.920 be someone who impacts a billion people. That's really what 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:15.640 someone's doing. When someone creates something large, big, humongous, they've 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:20.520 done it because they've affected a lot of people. They've 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:25.000 directly or indirectly improved the lives or affected the lives 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.320 of lots of people. And therefore the size of their 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.640 success is equivalent to the size of the problem they've solved. 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.000 If our only wise to solve our problem, which, by 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.400 the way, in the beginning, survival is totally fine as 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.760 a method of manifestation. But if we can extend it 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.080 a little bit further, for it to be about improving 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.560 the lives of others, for it to be about representing 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.040 and creating an impact, for it to be about service, 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:01.120 incredible things can happen. Think about it. Are you trying 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.960 to change the life of your kids. Are you trying 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.600 to change the life of your partner or your parents. 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.839 Are you trying to change the life of your community. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:18.720 Are you trying to inspire future generations. It's not that 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.440 you think you're that big, it's not that you think 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.280 you're that important. It's that you know you're being driven 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.400 by more than just numbers and data. I think so 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.400 many people give up on their goals because their only 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.040 motivation is to do it for themselves, and their only 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:43.840 motivation is to provide for a limited capacity. But if 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:49.039 we truly want to align with abundance, we also have 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:53.560 to think abundantly. Now, how do we do this? Step 0:05:53.640 --> 0:06:00.000 number two is mastering the subconscious moments. There are two 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.880 two times of the day where we're most in our subconscious, 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:11.480 that state between being awake and being asleep. Notice how 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.120 when you're just about to fall asleep, maybe having a 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.680 conversation with someone. You're talking to someone and you can 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.840 still hear your voice, but you can hear it get 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:25.520 quieter and then slowly it turns off. Or in the morning, 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.240 when you wake up and you allow yourself to just 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.479 settle for a few moments, you haven't fully opened your eyes, 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.479 you haven't grabbed for your phone yet. You know you're 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:41.760 awake and you're not fully asleep. These two times of 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:47.560 the day are such a powerful time to manifest because 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.080 what we're doing is we're planting ideas deep in our 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:56.599 subconscious that then have the ability to grow fruits and 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.320 bear fruits as they grow throughout the day. So what 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:05.120 I've been practicing for a few years now is that 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:11.520 in these subconscious moments, I will implant my affirmations, and 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:16.640 so I will affirm the mindset I want to live by. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.480 I am living a life of service and impact. I'm 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.640 doing it because I believe that everyone deserves the tools, 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.560 and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.440 share it with billions of people across the world. When 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:36.440 you use those moments, what happens is that cynical, doubtful 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.400 part of you is a bit quieter, that part of 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.400 you that's always challenging, maybe even having negative self talk 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:49.280 towards your ideas, is a little bit more silenced, and 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:53.320 you have the ability almost to sneak past that cynical 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.880 god and plant that thought. And all you have to 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.920 do is just stop yourself from reaching for your phone 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:06.920 for that thirty seconds to one minute. Have three affirmations 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.880 that you've rehearsed, that you know off by heart, that 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.320 you remember to say just in that moment. And hey, 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:15.760 by the way, when you first start this, you're going 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.320 to get it wrong. You're going to reach for your phone. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.800 And what I want you to do is just let 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.680 go of your phone and maybe even make it the 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.520 background of your phone. Make your three affirmations the background 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.800 of your phone so you see them, Put your phone down, 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:31.680 close your eyes again, and read them to yourself. I 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.760 am followed by whatever it is that you wish to be, 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.240 that you wish to become. Now, what does this do. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.599 It's not magic in the sense that all of a 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.440 sudden you wake up and the thing you asked for 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:47.120 is there. That's not how manifestation works. What we're doing 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:52.160 is we're training our subconscious that is already being pulled 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:57.520 towards a negativity bias, that's already being distracted by everything 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.280 else that's going wrong. Right, what we find for a 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.400 lot of us is we want to solve the easiest issue, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.000 even if it's not the deepest issue. Right. You want 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.920 to solve the problem that makes you feel like you're busy, 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.480 as opposed to solve the problem that actually makes your 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:18.000 life easy it's really interesting. And our mind does the 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.959 same thing. It rushes towards the things we can solve 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.640 and make us feel productive, even though the thing we're 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.679 actually trying to solve is something we're ignoring. And in 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.360 these subconscious moments, you get to rewire that. You get 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:37.400 to rewire your attention, your energy, and your focus subconsciously 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:42.120 towards the things that really matter, towards the things that 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.840 you want to be immersed in. If you say that 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.000 in the morning, I promise you when it gets to midday, 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.120 you'll still be thinking of it subconsciously and you'll actually 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.199 make the right decision. If you repeat I am happy, 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.360 I'm healthy, and I'm healing, you will make choices that 0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:00.440 day to be happier, to be healthier, to be healing. 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.480 But when the mindset we wake up with is oh God, 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.840 I'm just so tired, I'm just exhausted, I just I 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.720 wish I didn't have to go to work today. Now 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.600 that's what you're feeling throughout the day. I call it 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:19.240 the rule of your most repeated thought. You will manifest 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:25.040 your most repeated thought. You can even monitor. This is 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.320 step three. What are your most repeated words to someone? 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.040 If someone says, hey, what are you excited about for 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.400 this year? And your answer is, oh, I don't know, really, 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.040 I haven't really thought about it, and you keep saying that, 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.920 what ends up happening. You keep saying it, and you 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:44.040 keep thinking it, and you keep believing it. What we say, 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.200 we think, we believe what we think. We say it 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.600 and then believe it. Our beliefs are based on what 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:58.719 we think and say consistently and repeatedly. Your most repeated 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:03.920 thought comes your reality. The thought that you say the most, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.440 the thought that you think the most, is the thought 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.000 that you will believe the most and some of the 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:15.640 things we've said to ourselves for weeks, months, years, and 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:22.080 decades define our trajectory without us even knowing. We have 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:27.239 to shift at a subconscious level to transform our reality. 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.079 I know you can do this. I believe you can 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.600 do this. And when you repeat these affirmations and these thoughts, 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.680 I want you to mean it in your mind. I 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.200 want you to feel it in your heart, and I 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.640 want you to believe it in your body. It's really key, 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.839 and in these sub conscious times, you're actually able to 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.360 do that. Mean it in your mind, believe it in 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.920 your body, and feel it in your heart. Step four. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:12:00.280 Visualize the process, not the result. I'll explain what I 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.840 mean if I ever say to someone, hey, close your 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.800 eyes and visualize who you want to be, where you 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:12.040 want to be. We often visualize the podium, not the process. 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:19.920 We visualize winning, not training. You visualize achieving not building. 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:26.319 You visualize the ending, not the starting. If you want 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.720 manifestation to work for you, if you want to attract 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:34.760 the life that you truly desire, it's about visualizing the process, 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:40.000 not perfection. So many of us wegte so much time 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.319 and energy focused on what it will look like when 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.080 we get there. And while it's important to feel that 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.240 in our body, it's more important to also train ourselves 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:56.840 to visualize the process waking up early, meditating, working on 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.959 our health, building that skill. What does that look like, 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.400 because that's the life we have to live. We have 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.320 to visualize the life we have to live in order 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.960 to get to the place we want to be. And 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.160 it's the life that we live that makes us great enough. 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.920 That's what greatness is. Greatness is not achieving the trophy 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.079 or winning the award, or getting top of the list. 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:24.840 That's not greatness. Greatness is the discipline you developed. Greatness 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.840 is the energy you harnessed. Greatness is the effort you 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.920 put in. Greatness is the skills you learned, the iterations 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:36.840 you made, the improvements and changes you worked hard to 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:44.000 deliver on. That's greatness. So visualize that process. I would 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:48.000 program when I lived in the monastery what I wanted 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.600 my thoughts to be in the morning. I see as coding. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.600 At night, I would code my mind to say I 0:13:53.640 --> 0:14:01.400 will wake up fresh, healthy, energized and enthusiastic to meditate. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.320 And whenever I would do that and set that intention 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.960 at night, I saw that it programmed and coded my 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.880 mind to wake up with that in the morning, and 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.600 if I decided to skip that, I could force myself 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.160 to feel that in the morning. But it was so 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:20.000 much easier to code that the night before. You set 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.960 your alarm the night before to wake you up the 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.600 next morning. You don't set it when you want to 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.920 wake up. You set your intention, you set your coding, 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:33.640 you set your energy the night before. Visualize the process. 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:39.440 Visualize yourself doing the hard things. Visualize yourself strengthening your body, 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.760 lifting those weights, going on that run, starting that podcast, 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:49.360 recording an episode. Visualize the parts that are the hard parts, 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.480 because those are the parts that your life will be 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:57.680 made up of. Visualize the discomfort, not the comfort, because 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.560 that's what your life will be made up of. Visualize 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.080 the hard, not that easy, because that's what your mind 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:08.800 and heart and life will be made up of. Now, 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:12.560 when we talk about visualization, people often talk about vision boards. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.400 I'm a big fan of vision boards. Why because again, 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.720 we're giving data to the mind. When I was growing up, 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:26.000 I remember my wall was covered in lyrics, posters of rappers, 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:31.080 music lines from interviews. It was surrounded I was fully 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:36.400 immersed by musicians, lyricists, poets. I would stick up all 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.720 this stuff with tac on my wall. My mum it 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.120 drove her crazy because it would ruin the wallpaper or 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.200 the paint or whatever she had under it. But I 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:48.520 loved it. And what happened that was my life. Everything 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:53.400 that I said sounded lyrical, everything that I felt affected me, 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:58.160 Everything I listened to was transforming my life. That's what 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.560 vision boards are, not an activity you do for two 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.080 hours and then just stick it up there. It's something 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.240 that allows you to immerse. And it's also picking things 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.480 that really motivate you. I think sometimes we do a 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:16.560 vision board very theoretically, but does that specific thing, does 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:20.800 that specific feeling mean something to you? And if it 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.800 is just a thing, a material thing, we have to 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.920 realize what does it stand for? What am I really 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:30.680 looking for? Because sometimes you're not really wanting that car. 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:36.200 You're wanting confidence. You're not really wanting that home. You're 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:41.480 wanting safety. Let's think about that for a second. You 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:46.160 don't just want that car. You want confidence that you 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.560 think comes with that car. You don't want that home. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.960 You want safety that you believe comes with that home. 0:16:55.200 --> 0:17:00.400 You don't just want that business, you want this self 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.320 esteem that you believe comes from that business building it. 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.920 And so as you're creating your vision board, it's important 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.920 that you also create a verbal board, a verbal board 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:18.560 of the emotions that you're hoping those things translate into. 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.800 This is the biggest mistake people make with vision boards. 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.800 They only have things, and then when they get the thing, 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.560 they're unhappy, and when they don't get the thing, they're unhappy. 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.240 But when you recognize that that thing represented a deeper 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.399 feeling that you were craving, that you were chasing, that 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:42.720 you are pursuing, that becomes a worthy pursuit. Pursuing confidence 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.440 is greater than pursuing the car, and the car will 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.240 come anyway. Pursuing safety is greater than pursuing that home, 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:54.159 and the home will come anyway. Pursuing joy and abundance 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.880 will attract more than pursuing a material thing that may 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.639 look like it stands for that. As much as you 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.840 pursue and have a vision board, have a verbal board 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:11.440 of emotions and emotional vocabulary that you're pursuing. Our purpose 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:17.560 in life is to pursue that vocabulary, is to pursue 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.880 those emotions, is to pursue those feelings and figure out 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.600 where they come from and where they arise. The next 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.040 step as you're manifesting is you have to ask yourself, 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:34.320 what's multiplying in my life? So what's going well? Because 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.040 you need to zone into that. I think a lot 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.080 of the time we only focus on what's going wrong. 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:40.480 And when you only focus on what's going wrong, you're 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.639 not able to double down on what's going well. So 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.960 first start with what's multiplying in my life, what's cascading, 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:53.080 what's just growing in my life and doing extremely, extremely well? 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:59.399 And then what's actually needing to be subtracted from my life? 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.760 And then and what do I need to edit in 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:06.000 my life. One of the things I love, which I 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.959 learned about through speaking to some of my friends who 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:14.480 are therapists, is the seven seven seven method. The seven 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:19.119 seven seven method evolves writing down what you are trying 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.920 to manifest seven times in the morning and seven times 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.879 at night for seven days in a row. Again, what 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.240 are we doing here? What we're doing is we're programming 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.520 your mind to be focused, We're programming your energy to 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.760 be directed. I speak to so many people who say, Jay, 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:37.080 I want to start a podcast, I want to start 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:38.959 a business, And when I say to them, well, what 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:40.720 have you been reading about for the last seven days? 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.720 They go politics. I go, got it, all right, Well 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.679 that isn't align. There is an alignment there. Someone will 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:49.240 say to me, Jay, I already want to write a book, 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.320 and I go, great, what have you been reading recently? 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.600 What have you been learning about recently? And they say, oh, 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:56.960 I've just been watching the football and I go okay, 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:00.359 Well that is an align. Gandhi said it better. He 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:04.320 said that you experience harmony when what you think, what 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.679 you say, and what you do are in alignment. And 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.119 I think a lot of us are misaligned. And so 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:12.600 I want you to really reflect on how are you 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:17.000 spending your free time? Is your free time does it 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.560 sound like the life you want to live? When your 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.760 free time becomes immersed in the life you want to live, 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.840 your non free time becomes that life, And so you 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:32.439 want to practice, You actually want to build that skill, 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.080 You want to build that life that you so want 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.400 to live in that free thirty minutes you have per day, 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.560 rather than say I really want to do that, but 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.000 that's not what I'm focused on. I really want to 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:48.000 build that, but that's not where my energy is. And 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:51.240 I think so many of us are living a misaligned life, 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:55.359 and that's actually what's causing our challenges. Our stress and 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:59.240 challenges are not created because we don't have good intentions, 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:02.520 we don't have God, we don't have clear ideas. It's 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:06.640 because our energy and our focus are misaligned and distracted. 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:12.120 You can't attract the life you want if you live 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:19.159 a distracted life. You can't create alignment if you're living 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:23.720 a misaligned life. If your energy is all over the 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:30.600 place and your focus is dispersed, it won't suddenly shift 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:36.439 into feeling like an arrow. It just doesn't work that way, right, 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.680 It doesn't work that way if you're shooting lots of arrows, 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.280 or if you're looking everywhere, like let's say you're saying 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.160 this is how it actually goes. You're saying, I want 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.800 this arrow to hit the bull's eye. I wanted to 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:51.000 hit that red dot in the middle. But I'm actually 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:54.280 looking around at the leaves. I'm looking around at the trees. 0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:56.880 I'm looking around at the person over there who's kicking 0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:01.480 a soccer ball around football, looking over that side because 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.760 someone's playing with their child and looking over that. You know, 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:07.159 it's like, but my energy is so distracted, how can 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:08.920 I attract that goal? And then, by the way, when 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:13.240 you take the shot, you miss the target. Every ounce 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.600 of our being has to be focused and fixated on 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:18.199 that target. And you say, well, Jay, how can I 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:20.880 because I have so many other responsibilities, And you're right, 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:24.720 you do and you have to do all those responsibilities. 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:28.080 But at the same time you're thinking about that target. 0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:30.679 You're thinking about how what you're learning here applies to 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.440 that target. You're not seeing it as a space of friction, 0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:36.600 like these things are against each other. You're actually saying, 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.760 if I solve that target, I'll actually be better at 0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:44.520 all these things I'm distracted by, right, I'll actually make 0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:47.520 better decisions. I was saying this to a friend recently, 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:50.679 where he was trying to solve something for his family, 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:52.600 and he's also trying to build his business, and I said, well, 0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:54.840 if you've built that business, you'd be able to solve 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.280 that problem for your family. But while you think you're 0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:59.760 trying to solve the problem for your family, you actually 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:03.240 just creating longer term issues because you're not solving the 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:06.320 root of the problem. Often, if you look at a tree, 0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:08.960 you can try and spray the leaves, you can take 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:11.080 care of the branches. But if we're not watering and 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:15.240 nourishing the roots, it's not going to survive. One of 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:19.440 my other favorite methods is keeping books open in random places. 0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:23.639 A book near my bedside table, which is all about sleep, 0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:27.840 a book on my office table, which is all about creativity. 0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:32.399 A book in my living room, which is all about 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:38.880 community and relationships. Even if you read one paragraph while 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:42.480 you're walking through that room, I promise you it's enough. 0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:45.440 I've spent years reading, you know, trying to read a 0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:46.920 book a day, trying to read a book a week. 0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:49.520 It's been amazing. I've learned a lot. But that's just 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:52.840 not practical for most people. But if you just read 0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:56.400 one paragraph a day, one line a day, here's the thing. 0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:00.240 You can read a whole book and it will don't 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:06.240 change your life until you live one line. Read one 0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:10.680 line of a book and try to live it. Then 0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:14.040 read the next line and try to live it. Not 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:16.560 only will this make you want to read the next line, 0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:21.320 it will make you realize how powerful every line is, 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:25.840 and you won't just understand it, you live realized how 0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:31.840 knowledge can transform your life because you applied it. Read study, apply, 0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:38.480 read study, apply, read study, apply, read, study, apply, apply 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:42.240 what you're reading. Keep books open in random places. Read 0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:44.359 one line. I promise you if you keep them open 0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:46.840 on a page, your eyes will be drawn to it, 0:24:47.359 --> 0:24:49.480 rather than this idea of well, I'm scrolling on my 0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.600 phone walking through this place. Books on a shelf, haven't 0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:55.000 opened it, don't know what the first page is about, 0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:57.480 right it just you keep putting it off. This is 0:24:57.480 --> 0:25:01.119 how manifestation works. You're surrounding yoursel in that space with 0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:04.600 the energy that you want it to have. Remember, as 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:08.080 I said in things like a monk, location has energy, 0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:12.560 time has memory. And the final step I want to 0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:16.240 share with you today is write things down on post 0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:20.800 it notes near your mirror, your bedside, and on your laptop. 0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:26.159 Those affirmations, those belief systems, the ideas, they have to 0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:29.640 be around you so that your subconscious is just absorbing 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:32.600 them like a sponge. Our subconscious is like a child. 0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:35.359 It absorbs whatever atmosphere it's in. And what ends up 0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:37.800 happening is we often say, oh, when I'm at home, 0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:40.120 that's when I get immersed, but when I'm at work, 0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:43.760 I'm not there. We want to stay connected and rooted 0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:48.520 to that energy at all times throughout the day. I 0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:52.080 really hope, actually, I know, this will help you manifest 0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:56.000 the life that you desire. If you practice these principles, 0:25:56.520 --> 0:26:00.520 share them with me on Instagram, on TikTok, share your clips, 0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:02.720 share your stories. I want to see what you're learning, 0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:05.880 how you're growing this year. I'm with you all the way. 0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.399
