So if you're on this path of self development, join us. Can't wait to help you improve today I'm going to talk to you about how to become the best version of yourself and how to become the type of person that can create the life that you want. If you're listening to this podcast, I'm going to make a guess, right, you are listening to this because you want more in life. Whatever more means to you, you want more, whether that's more money, more happiness, more joy, more peace, more traveling, more fun, more success, more quality relationships. You want more. And you know that in order to get more, you have to change. You've gotten to the point where you're probably not wanting to blame anybody else anymore, and you're going, well, damn it, if my life is going to be different, I. I have to be different. But, you know, you want this life that you want in the future, and it feels like it's possible, but it's just a little bit out of your grasp, and you don't have it yet because you are not the person who can get it yet, because if you were, you would have already achieved what it is that you want to achieve. You have to understand that if you are the type of person who could create that life that you see in the future, you would already have that life if you were the type of person who could have it. And so, you know, hopefully, or by the end of this episode, you will definitely know that it is not the external world that that needs to change. It is not circumstances that need to change. It is you that needs to change. And so what I would recommend is if you can grab a pen and paper. Go and grab a pen and paper, because we're going to work together. It's going to be a working episode, working session. If you're driving your car, if you're at the gym, just think really deeply about the questions that I'm going to ask you here. This is an exercise that I take through a lot of times when they're on coaching calls with me or they're at events that I'm running. And I want you to think of your perfect life in 10 years, whatever that means to you. And I want you to get as detailed as you possibly can, because a lot of times people are like, I'm like, what do you want? They're like, I don't really know what I want. Right? You've got to get very clear on what it is that you want, because you're not going to be able to create it if you don't know exactly what it is. And so I want you to envision your perfect life in 10 years. And if you got a pen and paper, just start jotting things down and start writing things down as I'm talking. If you're at the gym, you're working out, start allowing your, your, your visions to start coming through. Start allowing yourself to daydream a little bit while you're doing this. What does your perfect life look like in 10 years? How happy are you? How do you talk to yourself? Where do you live? You know, what does the perfect house look like in 10 years? What's the location look like? Like, is it a, is it a small condo in Manhattan? Is that the perfect place for you? Is it a townhouse? Is it a huge mansion? That's Spanish style? Is it modern? Do you have property? Do you have no property? Are you on a mountain? Are you on a river? Are you, you know, in the middle of nowhere? What does it look like to you? You have to see it, you have to get clear with. You got to be able to like taste it and touch it with your mind. Almost right? Where is it located? What's your family look like? What's your relationships look like? What does your bank account look like? And I want you to detail as much of it as you possibly can. And the key to it as you're doing this is to make sure that you act like a 4 year old. And what do I mean by acting like a four year old is that don't be realistic. Because there's no such thing as realistic. There really isn't. There is no such thing as being realistic. Being realistic means taking other people's expectations and planting it onto yourself. And so when you're four years old, remember being four, have you ever been around a four year old? Like it's like magic. They can do anything and they have this mindset where there is nothing that can hold them back. And so for this moment, as you're, you're writing down everything that you want, allow yourself to be four years old again. Don't restrict yourself. Allow yourself to have fun with it. Okay? And if you need to pause me as we're going through today's episode so you can journal through it, no problem. Pause me. I'll be here literally forever. Whenever you want to push play again. Okay, the next thing I want you to ask yourself is when you're looking at this life, imagine that it's not you. Imagine that it's somebody else, right? When you're looking at this life and everything that you, that you want in the future, what are the traits of someone who could Create that life. If somebody has gone and created that life, or somebody could create their life in the future, describe that person to me in as much detail as you possibly can. Everything. What time do they wake up? What do they do on a daily basis? What do they eat, do? How often do they work out? How do they take care of their body? How do they take care of their soul? How do they take care of their mindset? What type of people they surround themselves with? How do they speak to others? How do they speak to themselves? How do they walk through the world? What type of energy do they have? How do they carry themselves? How do they interact with themselves? And how do they interact with the world? And what you want to do is you want to get into as much detail and don't pretend that it's you at all. I want you to see, okay, perfect life. And if somebody were able to create this perfect life, who would it be? What would they be like? And describe that person in as much detail as possible. Sometimes it's good to disassociate yourself from your dreams so that you don't put any restriction on it. And you just say, this person that has created that life. This is as much as I can tell you about them, okay? And then what you're going to do is you're going to figure out what is the difference between that person who you just described in you now, what's the difference between the two of them? And you start figuring out, okay, if that person created that life, all I really need to do is wake up every single day and start becoming that person more and more. Start acting like that person, start thinking like that person, start speaking like that person, start speaking to others like that person, start speaking to myself like that other like that person. And you literally start to say, I need to become that person more and more every day, right? So what does that person do that you do not do? Maybe they don't stay up late, maybe they don't sleep in, maybe they don't eat. Like, maybe they don't talk negatively to yourself. Maybe they don't stay in contact with toxic people, right? And you start to figure out what's the difference between me and what's the difference between them? And you start to plan out what changes you need to make within yourself in order to create that life. And you can do a little what I like to call, stop, start and continue. Stacey, I want you to stop doing this. Stacy, I want you to start doing this. And Stacey, I want you to continue doing this. And I Took that when I was first a brand new manager and I started molding it for people to be able to do for themselves. And so what I want you to do is say, okay, in order for me to shift myself into who I currently am, into that person, what do I need to stop doing? And you start writing all the things that you need to stop doing. I need to stop talking trash to myself. I need to stop eating crappy food. I need to stop staying up late, I need to stop sleeping in. I need to stop saying that I'm going to do something and not following through. Right? So you write down all of the things that you need to stop doing that are holding you back from, from creating the life that you want. Then you ask yourself, what do I need to start doing? And once again, everybody, you can pause me as you're going through this. If you're taking notes and you're journaling and you want to use this as a working session, what do I need to start doing? Okay, I need to start going to bed earlier. I need to start waking up earlier. I need to start doing my morning workouts every single morning. I need to develop a morning routine. These are all of the things I want to start doing. I need to start taking out all of my meals, planning them out and getting them done and prepped by the beginning of the week. What do you need to start doing in order to be more like that person? And what do you need to continue doing that you're already doing pretty well and you're on the right path? And you don't put any emotion into this, you don't put any judgment into this. You don't put any shame into it. It's literally just as if you were just making business decisions. And we will be right back.
