 Welcome to today's episode of the mindset mentor podcast I'm your host Rob dial if you have not yet done so hit that subscribe button so that you never miss another podcast today We're gonna talk about the five ways that you need to focus and things that you need to focus on in order to have more energy Why would we want to do this? Well, because if you really think about energy Everything in this entire universe is energy. So if you see water or you see my hand all of them Everything that you can see that you perceive that you can not perceive it is all different Vibrating masses and so liquid just happens to be vibrating a lot faster than my desk that I'm standing at right now is and so When you start to think about the world being an energy Then I actually think that one of the most important things that we could pay attention to every single day is our energy If you think about the fact that we all have 24 hours every single day What really Changes what we're gonna get done or not get done is how much energy we bring to every single day And so if we can just have more energy then we're gonna get more done And so, you know, I'm gonna talk about some things you probably heard of before I'm gonna talk about some things that maybe you might not have thought of before I'm not gonna talk about sleep because everyone knows. Yeah, you should probably get some damn sleep That makes sense, but I'm gonna talk about things that give you energy and also drain energy from you as well So let's dive into it First thing that I listen to and the thing that gives me a ton of energy And what I always like to use as a tool to give me more energy is music What is the music that you listen to throughout the day? You know when I go and I meditate the first thing I do every single morning Besides going to bathroom and brush my teeth and all that stuff is my wife and I we go out into living room We turn on YouTube on the TV We put on 20 minute meditation music and we meditate and it's very chill music Right, but then what I do after that is usually I'll go and I'll make some coffee And what I've realized is that if I keep meditation music on when it goes from one YouTube video, it automatically is the next one It's always chill if I was just listening meditation music It's me more meditation music after and I'll drink my coffee and I'll sit there and the music will still be on And I'll notice that if it's chill meditation music, I'm very chill But if I need to go and work out in 30 minutes I'm not going to listen to chill meditation music before my workout That's what I usually switch it to something like EDM and what I realized if I put on EDM or trance or rap or whatever It is that I want to listen to that music is actually going to give me a certain type of energy What is music music is literally sounds what are sounds and words? Vibration sound is vibration and vibration changes your frequency Sound is vibration vibration changes your frequency words are affirmations What you say and you think you become and so when you think about that you think okay There's a lot of vibration that's coming through and I listen to music the words are Affirmations that I'm saying out loud Are they the type of things I want to be saying to myself because those things influence what I think and what I say And so for me the past year and a half ish I've started changing the music that I listen to because I start thinking to myself. How is this music right now? influencing my mood influencing my energy and The things that are being said in this song that I'm listening to is this the type of stuff I actually would say to someone that I love Are these the type of things I want to say to myself? And so the music that you listen to has a very big Shift in the energy it crosses a very big shift in the energy that you have and you bring to every single day So just start thinking about more music that you listen to you know if you're at an office and they got freakin You know, whatever it is jazz music. That's Slow elevator music that's playing in the background and that's not giving you energy But you want some freakin energy because you're about to go into cranking out a presentation Well, then maybe put some headphones on Blast some music that you love and have that be something that changes your energy You know, if you haven't if you don't feel really good today, maybe you had kind of a shitty morning Why don't you put on some music that makes you feel happy music has a way of shifting our energy? That's one of the first things I think about when I need to shift my energy is music Next thing that I think about number two Is the people that you spend time with I always say one of my mentors told me this years ago Every person that you surround yourself with is either a battery or they're a black hole a battery is somebody who gives you energy You could spend two hours with them after you leave their house. You feel energized. You feel amazing. You feel fired up about life It's a full fuck. Yes for that person. This person's awesome. They make me feel great There are also some people in your life that are black holes It's just like they suck the energy out of you You could go and spend seven minutes with them and you're like And you just feel like you don't have a whole lot of energy You have to realize being a human this vibrating structure this frequency that you are is that you are also feeling other people's Vibrations as well. Have you ever met somebody in the first time you meet them? You're like damn. I don't know what it is about that person, but like there's something you ever met somebody like that Person's awesome, but if you also ever met somebody where you're like, there's nothing that's actually wrong that is said or that you can see But like your body is just sensing like Yeah, something's not right about that like something's doesn't feel right You can't perceive it. You can't see it. You can't hear it. None of that But it just doesn't feel right. That's your body picking up on the other person There's something that's not lining up with yours And so it's really important to take a step back and actually start to think about the people You spend time with you know if you work in an office there might be some people that They're kind of like black holes. How can you try to avoid them more? How can you set up some more boundaries because I know a lot of people are bad boundaries How can you set up boundaries so that person can't really come and invade your space? What is it that you can do everything to be figured out with the plan? Maybe you just haven't come up with a plan of exactly how to Avoid that person as much as possible to start to think about the people that you surround yourself with Even if they don't offend the senses we always say like they don't look bad. They don't smell bad They don't talk bad, but there's just something that's that's off about them Is it possible for you to spend less time with them? And so really starts pay attention to people who give you energy and steal energy from you If you want more energy throughout the day, how can you spend more time with people who give you energy? Okay, next one number three Start to think about the information that you consume you're listening this podcast great. I love it But also pay attention to everything else outside of this, right? Do you ever feel like oh Man, it's three o'clock, and I'm just so exhausted today And you're like why am I so exhausted like I didn't do a whole lot I don't feel like there's a whole lot of things that really I was It's not like I want on a run I didn't do a whole crazy work out any of that type of stuff And then you start to think about like what type of information have I been consuming today? And you realize that maybe you've been around people who have been talking really negatively or maybe you've had You've been in a room where the news is on in the background You're still perceiving that even if you're not directly paying attention to it But so I think about the information that you consume one of the biggest things that happened to me about a year or a Year a half ago is that I realized that even the people I follow on Instagram Make a massive shift in the energy that I have throughout the day And this was during you know all the crazy stuff that was happening a couple years ago I noticed that I was following some people that were you know on the left side and the right side friends that I had for Years people that I actually know in person And I would see their stories And after their stories I would feel like shit right after and I was like man. It's eight o'clock in the morning I haven't really done anything. I just had my cup of coffee. I haven't got my workout in yet Like why do I feel so drained and I realized that some of the people that I actually know in Person were just terrible to follow on Instagram and I realized that the energy that you consume Whether you realize or not is changing the way that you feel throughout the day And so you may have somebody that you need to start unfollowing. I like to call it the great purge Go through your Instagram go through your Facebook. Whatever is you need to do about a year ago, I Unfriended 3,000 people on Facebook because I was like I don't really know these people anymore like I might have met them one time 16 years ago, but I started unfriending all these people and I realized that I started to create The actual information that I makes me feel better and on Instagram I went on there and I unfriended like or unfollowed like three or four hundred people and pages and all of this stuff Because I thought to myself If I'm gonna be consuming information throughout the day I really want to be in charge of making sure That I'm consuming information that is helping me get better. That's helping me improve That's motivating me to create the life that I want to and so I stopped following people who I know in real life and people who might be Political figures and all this stuff and I was like I'm going to curate The information that I want to see that is going to help me become better And so you've got to be real careful with the information you consume Most people know I mean hope that you know that the news is really messing with people So that's not thing that I'm really gonna dive into and talk about but I don't watch the news I don't watch any of those things. I don't let outside influences come into my brain as much as possible And so start paying attention to all of the information that you consume in your brain Number four is another thing that you consume the food that you eat Obviously this one should be super important to everybody that's out there But for me, you know, like everybody has different diets Everybody has different things that make them feel better, you know, you can have whole 30 You can have vegans you can have carnivore diet You can have all these different diets The one thing that I have found that works best for me and your body's different than mine Your body's different than everybody else is listening to this podcast is find what gives you the most energy There are things that I know that throughout the day if I eat it It's gonna make me have a little bit spike of energy and then drop like sugar 100% will do that Carbs will absolutely do that My thing is if it wasn't once alive, I don't eat it whether that be a plant or whether that be an animal If it wasn't once alive, I don't eat it because I don't want something that was manufactured by somebody else Because usually when it's manufactured by somebody else, they're trying to get profit when they're trying to get profit That means they're cheaping on it and that means that I'm probably consuming a whole bunch of crap Tons of crappy seed oils There's almost seed oils and everything that you could have and that leads to heart disease So I don't want that so the way that I think about it is Okay, I'm gonna if it wasn't once alive like really physically alive and not changed I'm not going to eat it plants animals. That's it. Nothing else now There's certain things that I could eat in the morning that could take energy away from me And there's certain things I gain the middle of the day that give me energy So I start paying attention in planning my day out in planning the food that I eat based off of how I want to feel each day and how I need to get the certain amount of calories a certain amount of protein all that stuff as well And so just start to pay more attention to the food that you eat food can either give you energy or can steal energy from you And for some of you guys digestion for everybody digestion is the most important thing that you do because it is the most energy-consuming Thing that your body does So for some of you listening this Fasting might actually give you a lot more energy and so maybe you start trying some fasting Maybe don't eat until two o'clock and see if that gives you more energy for me. I Know I eat breakfast I usually have the exact same thing every single morning for breakfast And then I usually don't eat until about four o'clock because I know that if I fast in between there I usually feel the best as you get the most done I'm usually my brain is cranking and that's what I care about is my brain crank it So I can get as much done and have as much energy as possible And so you have to pay attention to the food that you eat So what works for you is what works for you? I don't care about anybody else's diet I care about what's going to give you in your body the most energy. That's number four and number five The fifth tip that I can give you to have as much energy as possible is to don't Don't rely on the way that you feel Don't rely on the way that you feel don't decide okay if I feel motivated then I'm gonna go to the gym If I feel like I have enough energy, then I'm gonna do this What I mean by this is force movement Make yourself do what you said you were going to do if you're the type of person that is Hoping that you have enough motivation to go to the gym or hoping that you have enough motivation in order to Get your project done that you need to do for work You're gonna be hoping and waiting for a long time What I care about is being the most consistent person in the room not being the most Motivated person in the room and so how can you make yourself do what needs to be done? Because if you're waiting for motivation, you're gonna be waiting for a long time the interesting thing about motivation Psychologists have done many studies on this and find that motivation if you're waiting for it to come before action You're gonna be waiting for a long time Motivation usually doesn't come before action Motivation usually follows action and so if you want to be motivated The best way to be motivated is to get your ass moving even when you don't feel like moving Even when you didn't have a great morning whatever it is So if you want to give yourself a chance to be motivated You have to get an action you have to start moving and what happens is as you start moving your heart rate goes up Your energy starts to change you start to get endorphins You start to get more motivated and more motivated and more motivated all because you decided to take action No matter how you felt Motivation follows action Not the other way around and so those are the five tips to have more energy and get more done Make sure you pay attention to the music that you listen to make sure you pay attention to people that you're spending time with Make sure you pay attention to the information that you consume and that's going into your brain Make sure you pay attention to the food that you eat and next one last one Make sure that you force yourself to take action in order to give yourself a chance to be motivated So that's what I got for you for today's lesson for today's podcast If you love this podcast, please do me if I ever shared on the Instagram stories and tag me in it Rob dial junior R.
