 While everybody is panicking, there are a lot of good lessons here for how to improve your life and also how to deal with this kind of situation in the future. Now, I think the biggest lesson here above everything and the biggest lesson for how to act and what to do during this pandemic is one thing. The lesson is how to deal with fear. Hey guys, Alex Hine, author of the book, Master the Day. So the first link in the description, I've included a free journaling worksheet and you're also going to get an email every three or so days on how to use journaling to kind of conquer your inner state to build a really amazing life. You can check it out right there below. So the first lesson we're really learning here is that people's outward responses are a response or a reflection of their inner state. Now you may know someone that is already a worry-wirt, an anxious type, or maybe someone whose life is always in a state of breakdown and they're always having some drama. Well, those people, of course, have 10 times the worries and the drama now. So a person internally anxious now demonstrates that externally. They're reading the news all the time. They're sharing all these things. They're freaking out in what they're buying in the markets. Internal anxiety, internal worry, internal fear and insecurity now is reflected 10x. You may have friends that are naturally secure, calm people. Maybe they're not too stirred up either way in general by life and now you see a deeper reflection of that. They're still about the same. Not too worried, not taking too many precautions. They're kind of still in the middle and maybe you have a friend that's like the brave type. Always the hero, always the savior, always the warrior and they're going to go out on their mission to do these things. They're going to demonstrate abnormal courage or abnormal stupidity. And maybe you know those people now too and they're traveling whatever they're doing. People's inner state is now being reflected outward times 10. For me, big lesson number one is to observe that, but then also observe not to make decisions from fear and anxiety. For me in my own journey to improve myself and kind of reach that 10x life in every quadrant, the number one thing that I noticed was that if I took advice from people, the average person on how to build an exceptional life, I never would have achieved anything that I've done. I mean look at how many people stay in bad relationships because they're afraid to be on their own. They're afraid because they have no friends. They're afraid because that's their only source of support. Is that the right reason to be in a relationship? Hell no. Look at the amount of people that never go after their passion or what they love or what really excites them in life because the fear of how am I going to pay my rent? What if it doesn't work out? What if I look stupid? Do I have what it takes? All those reasons are due to fear. So I just did the exact opposite. And look how many people want to travel the world and have these unique experiences that only a select few have. And they don't because of fear. This country is so scary. What if I just like I'm just worried and I don't have enough money and how am I going to get the time off? It's all bullshit fear. And most humans live their entire lives not dictated by what they want to do but by the things they're afraid of that keep them in the box. Now I think the third lesson here is one of the biggest success and fulfillment hacks is doing the opposite of what you see everyone doing. Like I said you know when I first talked to people about wanting to write a book what is everyone's response? Oh wow that's a big undertaking. Oh do you have a publisher? You're going to find a publisher? I mean that is how you're going to write 120,000 words. Now one person said hell yeah dude do it. And so I heard everyone say ah meh meh meh. So I said screw that. I'm going to do the opposite of what everyone does. And now I have self published books that have sold more and had more impact and made me more money than 99.9% of self published books. And I'm not that special. It's because I ignored the masses. When people say oh like I was 21 I wanted to go meditate in the Sahara Desert on a vision quest. And they were like oh you're going to go to a Muslim country in the desert alone you're 21. I said screw that. I went on it anyway was one of the most impactful memorable trips of my entire life. And frankly I could go on and on forever. But for me the lesson here is you observe the collective panic the collective fear how most humans live. Coronavirus is just an expression of what's always been there underneath it all. And of course there is some reason for genuine panic and genuine worry and precautions more than panic. But really it's just another manifestation of the low level of fear and anxiety humans always are dealing with. And their lives reflect the small lives of humans who cave to fear rather than that powerful inspirational excitement of someone who can defy the norm and build something incredible. Now to help you kind of stay in this positive state I'm going to be releasing some content ideally daily if I can swing it on 5 to 10 videos on really how to deal with what's going on now. And really from the perspective of not talking about coronavirus or health or anything like that but focusing on how to still have that 10x expression of your life in every domain while the chaos is going on. So stay tuned over the next coming week two weeks three weeks four weeks however long this goes on. And again check out the first link below for the journaling it's just like a little white paper to work on and you'll get some weekly journaling exercises to help you stay focused amidst everything going on. So check it out down there below and then my last related videos right on over here.
