Why Everything Gets Easier When Your Energy Is Right (Neuroscience + Spiritual Tools)

Hello my friends and welcome back to

Planet M, a podcast all about

neuroscience, spirituality, and real

life tools that you can start using

today to manifest the life that you

desire. I am very excited to record this

episode. I actually wasn't planning on

recording tonight and just hopped on

here because I received a little bit of

a a message or a download if you will in

the shower last night and it had to do

kind of with my work and what I'm

working on and really just kind of this

realization or thought that came through

for me and it was all about your energy

and the way that you show up in the

world and the fact that your energy is

your greatest currency. I want to talk

about in this episode why your energy is

so so so important and how you can start

to set your energy right, different ways

to do that, different times of the day

to do that. Some simple things that I do

to set my energy right, but then also

ways to protect your energy because your

energy is absolutely your greatest

currency. So, I just want to start off

with a little example that isn't my own

example. It is someone that I actually

coach inside of my program Minecraft.

And I'm working in my group and I love

to have my people share wins on our

calls because it sets a really good tone

for the call. And I just love to hear

how people are using the information

they're learning and how they're

applying it in their own lives and how

they're using it to win. I love hearing

just about how other people are winning,

how people that I'm, you know, in my

community are winning. It motivates me

to continue to coach and continue on

just because, you know, that's the whole

point is to help others. So anyway, one

of my amazing students came on and she

was expressing how she was able to

manifest a lot of money in just one

week. And I've had people get on and

after a call say that they posted a

video and it went super viral for for

once. And I've had actually it was

backto-back weeks someone got on and

said that they randomly made a lot of

money or had opportunities coming in.

But this one student in particular that

I'm I'm thinking of. I asked her I said

what was the main thing like what was

the main component for you that you

think really helped you shift your

reality? And she said a couple of

things, but one of the things that

really s stood out to me that she had

said was she really has just been paying

attention to getting her energy right

and putting her own energy first and

making sure that her energy was right

before she went and did anything else.

And I just remember thinking to myself

how powerful that is. When I think of

energy, I think of two things. And this

is something that I actually coach on as

well is really there are there are two

components to your energy. The first is

mental energy and the second is physical

energy. So we really have kind of these

two sides to our energy. And then of

course we have like this energetic

field, right? Where other people can

actually feel our energy through chemo

signals, brain wave synchronization, a

mirror neurons, all those different

things, right? Our energy is actually

contagious. This has been studied and

that's why it is so important to

surround yourself with the right people

and be careful of the environments that

you enter into because the energy that

you have that you show up with is your

greatest currency and your energy is

impacted by other people. And there's

been studies where they've shown that

people will go like watch movies that

make them stressed or anxious and then

they'll leave and then they'll have a

new group of people go in and this new

group of people will actually report

feeling anxious or stressed or fearful

and they're not watching the the scary

movie. They're just feeling that way for

no for quote unquote no reason. But

there is a reason and it's because the

group before them that watched the scary

movie, frightening movie, they actually

left behind chemo signals, chemical

signals through their sweat and breath

that other people can feel that were

lingering in the room. So this is why

it's so important to be careful of the

environments that you go into to protect

your own environments, right? Your home,

your room, your space. Make sure that is

a safe space for you. But then also be

very particular about the people that

you surround yourself with because if

you're surrounded by chronically

stressed and anxious people all the

time, your nervous system actually picks

up on that. And there's actually been

studies that show that not only does

your nervous system pick up on that,

right? Like I just described, but also

it is impacted by that. They've had like

for example dentists do a simulated

task, right? They they didn't have

dentists actually operating on people

for the study, but they had dentists

exposed to these chemo signals and you

know these kind of stress signals and

then right their nervous systems

unconsciously picked up on that and then

they had them go and do a simulated dent

dentist task. I don't remember exactly

what the task was, but they had them go

and do a task that they would normally

have to do for their job. And they were

able to show that their performance on

the simulated tasks was worse if they

were exposed even unconsciously to

stress or, you know, other people's

stress. Not not their own, but other

people's, which right it makes sense if

if we're if we're picking up on other

people's stress, anxiety, any of that

that that is going to impact us. But I

think it's really interesting to note

that it impacts us even on a

subconscious level. And so that is one

reason why it is super important to

protect your energy. So when when my

student had said that, it really got me

thinking and even yesterday as I was,

you know, when she said that about, you

know, really just making sure her energy

was right before she did anything. It

really got me thinking. And then

yesterday, as I was moving throughout my

day, kind of getting my tasks of the day

done, and then at the end of the day, I

was kind of overthinking one thing that

I had done, one one of the tasks I had

completed, and I was in the shower and I

sort of just had this realization or

download come through me where it was

like, you need to make sure that you're

getting your energy right before you do

everything. And I think this is such a

simple topic to talk about, but there

are so many different ways that we can

look at this, but your energy, it

impacts your performance, right? We just

talked about that your energy impacts

your performance. It impacts the way

that you feel. It is the way that you

feel, right? So, if you're feeling sad

and or depressed, right? I know

personally I I've been diagnosed

depression. I I' I've been there. I've

been in that darkness and I remember,

you know, just feeling so low energy,

like nothing really felt exciting. I

never felt energized. I just always felt

tired no matter how much I rested,

right? And that kind of gets at that com

that mental energy component. And

dopamine, excitement, motivation, joy.

This is mental energy. This is mental

energy. You can I I mean, I I remember

being a little kid, you know, night

before Christmas or whatever it is.

Even, you know, even now to this day

when I have something excited exciting

planned for the future, I might have

trouble falling asleep that night before

because I'm excited for the next day. Or

it's the opposite where I wake up in the

morning early, right, and early jumping

out of bed because I'm excited for what

the day holds. That's mental energy. No

matter how much I slept, right? And I've

had periods in my life where I'm not

sleeping much, but I'm not tired because

I have so much mental energy, so much

excitement. And I think a lot of times

we focus a lot on physical energy like

rest, sleep, you know, fueling our

bodies, which of course is extremely

important, don't get me wrong, but there

are two sides to the energy piece. There

is physical energy where you need rest

and you know to energize and fuel

yourself up. But then there's also

mental energy. And then there is

actually a third component that I'm now

going to tie in which is that more

spiritual energy component and that's

that can be your connection to your

higher power. But then also there are

spiritual energy drainers. I was

actually out in I don't think I want to

name the city that I was in. You guys

can maybe infer for yourselves but that

part isn't really important. But I was

out in a city, a different city from

where I live, and I ran into someone

that was another celebrity's manager,

like a a big-time celebrity's manager,

and she knew I was, she was following

me, and we talked for a little bit, and

she invited me to this big celebrities

like red carpet, etc. I was, "Oh, it's

cool." Um, and then, you know, we went

on our separate ways. And I remember

after having that interaction, my head

hurt. And I remember telling my fiance,

I was like, "My head hurts." Um, yeah,

my head hurts. And he actually was the

one that said, "Does your head hurt

before or did it just start hurting

after you had this interaction with

them?" Because I got weird vibes from

them. And I was surprised that I hadn't

even thought about that because I guess

I was so kind of swept up in the

conversation that I wasn't really even,

you know, being the observer of the

conversation of the situation. But

looking back on that thousand%

that whole world that that that person

was a part of not necessarily a world

that I would associate with liked and

and goodness

I I and and so when I say spiritual

energy, right, like that's kind of where

that part comes in. And I know

specifically this woman, she was a

manager for a celebrity that I I I don't

know I would associate with light and

goodness. So needless to say, I did not

go to that red carpet event. Um, and

actually I turned down that event and

then a few days later was when an an

incredible opportunity came through for

me that was completely aligned. And I

actually used that as a teaching moment

in my own space in my community for when

you turn down things that are not

aligned for you, you actually leave room

and and free up space in your own field

for things that are aligned for you. And

this is why it's so important to not

settle and not say yes to things if if

it feels wrong. If deep down, you know,

and I had a friend say to me like, "Oh,

but but it's for like the exclusivity.

That would have been such a cool event

to go to like just like not even to meet

that celebrity, but for the

exclusivity." And I was like, "I don't

care about that because for me, like my

energy is my greatest currency." And it

is. I am telling you, when your energy

is right, you are magnetic. You are

magnetic to everything that you want. I

remember living in Florida, walking down

the street, walking my dog. Actually, I

don't even know if I had a dog yet. I

think I was just walking down the

sidewalk and this man with a corgi would

I I I I had always seen him on my I

would I would walk and talk to myself.

I've shared with you guys before. That's

something that I like to do. And this

man with a corgi, he looked at me and he

was just so cute. He has these chunky

glasses and he looked at me and he

smiled at me waved. I remember just like

smiling and waving and like sending him

so much love through my eyes and just

the feeling the joy of that interaction.

I remember walking away specifically

from that interaction being like, "Wow,

it feels so good to send love and joy to

other people and to smile and spread

happiness." And the reason why I

remember this event so clearly is

because of what happened after. Because

right after that happened and I was

thinking about how good it felt and how

like positive it made me feel, I opened

up my phone and I had a notification

that a really big brand deal or some

amount of money came through for me. I

remember thinking to myself, "Wow,

everything just goes better when you

feel better. When your energy is right.

Everything goes better when your energy

is right." And something similar, not

similar at all actually, something

another situation happened a few months

ago for me where I was actually kind of

going through it with something in my

personal life. And I remember there was

this one point where I was like, you

know what? I think I just need to get in

my car and drive to go see my best

friend, my one best friend from my PhD.

She just never fails. Just sometimes you

need a little girl time with your best

friend. Like it's just just never fails.

And the craziest part though was that as

soon as I got in the car to drive to

where she lives, I felt better. Like it

was just like all my brain needed was

the switch in order to transition and my

energy immediately shifted. And I

remember being in the car being like,

damn, like I feel so much better

already. And then again again I opened

up my phone and I actually had I had

been wanting to connect with someone for

a podcast situation and I wanted to be

able to have a conversation with them

beforehand and that person actually

reached out and was like, "Yeah, let's

connect." And so I got like it I got

exactly what I wanted after my energy

shipped it. And I remember thinking to

myself on the phone with my assistant

and I was talking to her and I was

telling her, "Wow, everything just works

out when your energy is right." Like

everything just works out when your

energy is right. And you know, I can

talk a little bit more about kind of

like the neuroscience of this as well,

which I've talked about a little bit

about why energy is contagious, but not

necessarily about how your energy really

affects your reality. And you know,

there are a few kind of components to

this that I will hit on. And then I will

also hit on the fact that not everything

can be explained by neuroscience. And I

don't think that it needs to be. I think

that science is a lens through which we

can look at life but it's not the only

lens through which we should look at

life like science is behind if anything

it's behind right there are things that

we that like in kind of spiritual

um arenas we've been knowing that right

it's been ancient knowledge and now

science coming around to prove it right

and so I don't really think I'm not the

type of person or you know trained

scientists to be like oh just because

there's not paper showing it doesn't

mean that it doesn't happen. And I

remember when I shared this story inside

of Minecraft, the one that I just shared

about how I was driving in the car, as

soon as I felt right, I get on my phone

and the person that I was waiting to

hear from had reached out. Is there, you

know, a neuroscience explanation for

that? I think we can touch on the fact

that when you are feeling good, your

brain filters your reality from more

things to help you to continue to feel

good. That is true. However it like your

brain filters your reality. It

constructs your reality in every second.

It's filtering that according to your

mood. Research shows actually that we

even see color differently depending on

our mood. This is where the saying

seeing the world through rosecolored

lenses comes from, right? So, we are

seeing color differently depending on

our mood. We're also just seeing our

environment. We're seeing life

differently depending on our mood, but

depending on our energy. And so, our

brain filters reality differently and

it's going to flag different things

differently, right? And so if I was

still feeling terrible, maybe that

person still would have reached out to

connect with me, but I wouldn't have

felt happy about it and maybe I wouldn't

have even noticed it. I really don't

know who's to say, right? Because now

we're just playing the what if game. But

what I do know was that as soon as my

energy shifted, the thing that I wanted

arrived. And that's happened for me so

many times in my life. And not just me,

people that I work with, people that I

coach, people in my personal life. As

soon as your energy shifts, what you

want comes to fruition. All of a sudden,

now the opportunities, the parking spot,

the the money on the ground that you

just find. Someone in Minecraft messaged

on Monday saying that she accidentally

found $12,000. Like, I I genuinely don't

even know how that can be an accident.

Like, I still to this moment as I film

this don't know. I like maybe she didn't

mean to say that accidentally, but she

said very clearly she said accidentally.

So I I really don't know how that

happens. But that's the fun part is that

I don't need to know. And it it goes

kind of handin-hand with detachment,

right? Like I've had people say like,

"Oh, but you know, you're going to ask

for something. How do you know? How is

it going to happen? How will that ever

come true?" That's the whole point is

you don't need to know how. You don't

need to know how your dreams are all

going to come to fruition. You don't

need to know how. So back to energy.

Your energy is your greatest currency.

Your brain filters your reality

according to it. You also are going to

be releasing chemo signals according to

it. Other people are as well. Brain

waves. Other people will sync up with

that energy. I know personally when I'm

having a conversation with someone and

I'm in really good energy. Other people

tend to be brought up to my energy and

then we're just sinking, flowing, having

a really good conversation. Um, but then

I've also been in situations where the

other person is, you know, on a

completely different page. Then we're

just not saking and we're not flowing

and we don't resonate at all. Our brain

waves are not sinking up and we're not

understanding each other. We're not

seeing eye to eye, right? And so your

energy is important for a lot of

different things. For communication, for

the way that other people are going to

feel you, but also for the what you

experience in your reality. I want to

talk about one other thing for

protecting your energy. I obviously have

said be careful about the environments

that you're in or the people that you

are in communication with, but also

about what you are consuming because you

don't just connect or sync up with or

you're not only impacted by people

around you in in real life, you're also

impacted by people you experience

virtually, right? So, like you're

watching me or listening to me right now

speak. Hopefully, you are feeling

positive energy or good things of light

from this episode. At least that was my

intention going into it. But I'm sure

you've experienced in other areas and on

other platforms or from different

content, whatever, you know, whatever

the case may be. Maybe it's the news

where it doesn't make you feel so good

afterward. And so I just want to, you

know, give you guys a quick reminder and

give you permission to protect your

energy online and in on those online

spaces. There's just so much going on in

the world right now. And of course, it

is great to be informed, but it's not

necessarily helpful to be bombarded with

all of that energy 24/7. It's just not.

And I will say if you if we want to make

the world a better place, which I

definitely do, and I know that you you

listening to this, you probably do too.

The world needs more people that are

vibrating at a high frequency. We need

more people that are spreading love and

joy and happiness. We don't need more

people bogged down feeling discouraged

and hopeless and afraid. We don't need

that. And so if you are beginning to

feel that way by, you know, what you're

seeing on social media and what you're

seeing on the news, then just take a

break. Take a break from it and curate

your feed. I promise you, the

information will get to you one way or

another. I mean, I've seen people before

say like, "Oh, but if you don't if you

don't follow the news, if you don't

follow, you know, how are you ever going

to know what's going on?" Trust that you

will know what's going on. It's It's in

my opinion, it's almost impossible to

not know what's going on these days

unless you literally live under a rock

or at the top of a mountain in the

forest with no Wi-Fi connection. You'll

know. You'll know. It's everywhere. I

just wanted to like give you permission

to protect yourself and protect your

energy because protecting your energy

allows you to fill yourself up so that

you can then go and pour into other

people and pour into the world around

you. And just to give you guys a little

quick tip now, when it comes to

protecting your energy, I know not

everybody it has the luxury of, you

know, only ever being in environments

around good, positive, happy, peaceful

people. I I didn't used to have that

luxury. And even sometimes, you know,

I'm I'm in environments where there are

people around me that are stressing me

out. And I've been and like specifically

like just to keep it light-hearted, I've

been in a room with my fiance Stanley

where they're watching a football game

and they're into it and they're stressed

and they're hard and I and there just

are some people that you know are very

into sports and let and even my like I

even have family members where like

they'll be like I feel like I'm this

team is going to give me a heart attack,

right? There are people that are into

that. Absolutely no shame in that.

That's what lights you up. Super excited

for you. But even me, honestly, I'm like

that. This even happens to me when I'm

watching the Dallas Stars sometimes and

it's a close game, especially during the

playoffs. I get into it. My heart will

be racing. Okay, so I I'm nobody I'm not

I'm not above that either. It's just

just to point that out. But anyway, so I

was in the room and my heart started to

race and I started to feel a little

anxious and I did not to be completely

clear, I did not care about this game

that they were watching. And so I knew,

you know, me coming to my own knowing

and own awareness of like, hey, you're

not, this isn't, you're not anxious

right now, the people around you are

anxious and your nervous system is

picking up on that. Your nervous system

cal is calibrating to the room and the

people around you. And so what did I do?

I left and I went to go take a shower

and have a hair wash day because we all

know if if you're out there, you have

hair wash days and you know that takes

some time. I was like, "This sounds like

this feels like a good time to have a

hair wash day." And so I took I stepped

out of the room and I went and did my

own things and I immediately felt better

and was able to reeregulate. But then,

you know, if stepping out of the the

room or leaving the environment isn't

always available to you, um something

that I used to do back in the day, I

remember like kind of in the beginning

of my journey, I was at one of my

friends apartments and they there I

don't know what was going on, but I

remember just starting to feel a little

stressed and anxious or whatever and I

didn't want to leave per se. So, what I

did was I actually just went to a

different room really quick and I did a

guided meditation where I imagined kind

of a golden bubble of energy around me,

a golden bubble of energy. And it was a

guided meditation. I believe it's

actually a a a public playlist that I

have on YouTube. It's this meditation

that allow that kind of has you imagine

this golden orb around you that protects

your energy. And I remember I would do

that and it would really help. It

actually made a big difference in the

way that I felt. And then sometimes and

I've actually done it in public spaces

as well. I remember one time in Miami, I

was at this art show that somebody had

invited me to with a friend and

immediately it just felt like the energy

was off and we were sitting there during

this live visual art show and then my

friend started to get a migraine and I

just knew I was like I was looking

around the room and I was like these

people are getting their like souls

sucked out of them right now. It was

in a very interesting and the only time

I think I've ever been in a situation

like this. But anyway, I remember I was

like, "Hey, let me practice my powers

right now." And I just imagined like

stretching a golden if you guys have

ever seen Twilight like the last movie

like Breaking Dawn part two where Bella

can like have her invisible force field

stretch outside of her. That's literally

exactly what I like imagined myself

doing. I closed my eyes and literally I

start I was like, "Let me see if I could

do this." And I started doing it and

then my friend next to me, I like

turned. She's like, "What are you

doing?" And I just turned and I was

like, "How does your head feel?" She was

like, "It actually feels better." And

that was a really cool moment because I

realized I was like, "Whoa, wait, wait a

minute. This little force field thing is

not any joke." But then it didn't end

and it continued and I was like, "We're

not staying here. Like, let's get up and

let's leave." So, we left. And then I

actually shook my energy off, which is

another huge hack for protecting your

energy or shaking off any negative or

bad energy. Like, if you're around

somebody who's stressing you out or

you're feeling anxious even and it's not

even anyone else, maybe it's you,

something that you're thinking about.

Um, I remember this is actually

something that my dog taught me. I

noticed if she would bump her head or if

something would happen, she would just

shake it off. She would literally shake

her body. And so I remember I was in the

parking lot about to get in my car and I

didn't even want to get in my car with

that energy still on me. So I just like

jumped up and down and shook out my body

for a few minutes and then got in the

car and I felt fine. I went home. So,

those are just a few things just kind of

right off the bat for protecting your

energy, shaking off any, you know, bad

energy. But then I want to go through

getting your energy right because

getting your energy right is extremely

important. And getting your energy right

before you do things, it makes a huge

difference and it is one of the best

ways to practice your powers. I actually

did that. I actually did this right

before I started recording this episode.

I closed my eyes, took a few deep

breaths, centered myself, set a little

prayer, asked God to work through me

and, you know, use me and allow me to

spread light and love to whoever's

listening and watching. Set an intention

that whoever's listening and watching

would get what they needed from this

episode and let that be that. And then

I, you know, came in and and started

recording. And so for me, that was a way

of practicing what I'm literally

preaching in this episode of getting my

energy right before I go and do things.

And that's example number one. Honestly,

getting a little bit ahead of myself,

but sharing that example kind of is me

giving you that first way to practice

your powers and set your energy right.

So, you can do this before you do

anything. Personally, I do this right

before I film podcasts, before I create

content, before I host my huge um master

classes for thousands of all of you

guys. Like, I I I get my energy right.

And it's not always the same. It's not

always the same. It's not always, you

know, prayer, intention, deep breaths,

although it is usually something along

those lines. U it looks different

depending on whatever I'm feeling that I

need in the moment. I do this all the

time, right? Before I film, before I

create content, before I teach, before I

coach, before I even like in the past

whenever I was on my PhD, I would I

would set my energy right before I

walked through the doorways to class. I

would, you know, and and so when I when

I'm talking about setting your energy,

right, I guess now I'm kind of moving

into a little bit more of a a loose way

of using the term, but you know, I used

to walk through the doors to my class, a

two-hour neuroscience lecture, and I

would set my energy and I would say, I'm

walking through the doorway to focus,

the doorway to knowledge and learning,

and I am going, my brain is going to be

locked in. I'm gonna learn. I'm going to

listen. I'm going to be able to remember

what the professor is saying and I'm

actually going to be able to pay

attention as I walk through this

doorway. Right? And that is a way for me

to set my energy, right? And set that

intention. Pra intention setting is a

powerful way to practice your powers.

And so you can you can set your

intentions that way. You can also set

your intentions through stating who you

want to be, right? And I remember being

on the phone with someone that I work

with on my team and I was talking to him

and he was about to go into a business

meeting and I was talking to him about

identity shifting and I was like and I

was like what's your meeting about? And

he I don't remember exactly what he said

but it was a business meeting and I said

well just know the energy that you're

going to walk through that doorway into

that meeting with is I am a boss

businessman. Really just practicing

helping him practice the idea of setting

your energy the way that you want it to

be. whether it's your identity, whether

it's what you want your intention, your

focus, um your whatever you want your

energy to be, right? And that's the most

beautiful thing is that it's up to you.

How do you want to show up when you do

things? There's been times for me where

I'm feeling so tired, feeling just not

into it. And I'll look down at my drink

that I'm drinking and I'm like, "This

drink is what's going to get my energy

right. um get my energy is is shifting

as we there are also ways to assign

meanings to different objects and the

the placebo yourself into shifting your

energy. You can use the po the doorway

effect which is what I was kind of

saying when I as I would walk through

the doors to my classes in my PhD.

Environment is something that I studied

when I was in undergrad and my research

actually won awards. Um, but we we

studied kind of the way that we organize

events in time in our brains depending

on our environment and context. And what

we found was that when you shift

environments, when you change context,

your brain actually shifts and segments

your memories. But also that that's kind

of a representation of how your brain is

segmenting and shifting itself, right?

So your brain state is actually changing

as you change locations and change

environments. And there are many

different ways that you can use that to

your favor. And we could do a whole

episode about that. But kind of using

that knowledge to your advantage, to

shift your energy, to get your energy

right. And I and I've done that as well.

Sometimes if I'm just not feeling it and

I've been at home before trying to

create content or whatever it is and I'm

just like it's I can't get into flow.

And what I will do, I'll just get in my

car. Sometimes I'll get in my car,

sometimes I'll drive down the road to a

coffee shop, but I will use kind of that

I will change locations on purpose to

help change and shift my energy. And a

huge neuroscience point really quick

that I want to make about intention

setting, about pausing to set an

intention for like I was saying, I'm

going to be focused or you know, I as I

sit down on this episode, I want to be

able to share helpful information and

light for people. I'm just setting

intentions like that. The reason why

that is so helpful or one of the reasons

why is you are actually priming your

brain. You are priming your brain to

activate in a certain way. There are so

many studies that look at kind of the

effects of priming and different avenues

and branches and ways to kind of apply

this in ways that you are affected. Your

performance is affected. the way that

your brain filters your reality is

impacted. Um, priming your brain is

powerful for so many different reasons.

And you know, just the one study that

comes to my mind, the most recent one

that I've read about the power of

priming your brain, it was about job

interviews and how they actually what

they what they did was they took a group

of people. They took two different

groups of people and they had one group

um write about a time that they felt

extremely powerful and they had another

group write about a time where they felt

completely powerless. And then they had

all these people go and do job

interviews like mock interviews. And the

interviewers, the people that were, you

know, interviewing these people and

deciding whether or not they were going

to get the job, they did not know the

conditions that these interviewees were

under. They didn't even know they were

primed at all. They did not know the

point of the study. They just

interviewed. And then they asked these

interviewers, they said, you know, who

would you hire? And what they found was

that the people that were primed for

powerful that talked about a time they

were powerful before they went and did

the interview were way more likely to

get the job than the people that were

primed and and talked about a time

there. They felt powerless. So, this is

just, you know, one of the most recent

studies I've read. And there are so many

different ways to prime your brain. And

and I'll say I just kind of going on a

little bit of a tangent here, a little

bit of a sidetrack. We're always being

primed. If you think about it, we're

always being primed. And you know, you

walk through life and you know, you go

to the grocery store and you know, you

you watch the news, you go on social

media, you're always being primed. Your

brain is always, you know, subject to

this effect. And so you could prime

yourself on purpose, of course. And for

example, if you have a job interview

tomorrow, write a little story about a

time you felt extremely powerful right

before you go into that interview. Um,

if you are needing to focus in class,

visualize a time where you visualize

yourself being able to focus before you

walk into class. That's something that I

I used to do and I honestly haven't done

it in a while. Maybe I will more often,

but visualizing, you know, yourself

literally with the energy that you want

to have. I the last interview, the last

big podcast that I went on, it's not out

yet. I I remember right before I sat

down and closed my eyes and visualized

us talking, laughing, and it being a

great conversation. And then I'm sitting

there on this interview, and guess what

I'm looking at? I'm looking at the other

person laughing, having a conversation

with me. And so priming your brain is

there's so many different ways to do it.

You can do it on purpose, but I think

it's interesting to start to look around

and notice how you're kind of always

being primed. And let's say, you know,

you're talking to your friend about

something and then all of a sudden you

go on social media or you go out into

public and now your brain is filtering

for that thing. And I have an example of

this actually. I was at a restaurant the

other day and it was really cool. We

were at a really big table and it was

one of those kind of like I don't know

what the term for it is actually at all.

Commutal tables. I don't know. But there

was a father and a daughter sitting next

to us. And it was really cool actually

because you know the daughter was like I

don't want garlic. And then the dad was

like, "Do you even know what garlic is?"

It was just this little girl. And she

was like, "Yes, I do. Vampires don't

like it." And I just thought that was a

fire answer on her part. After she said,

"Oh, vampires don't like it." He was

like, "Oh, N." Like, you do know what

garlic is. And then she goes, "Are

vampires real?" And I was super

interested in her dad's answer to that

question because that's an interesting

question, right? Like, and I personally

I don't know what I would answer. So, I

was I was listening in too. I was like,

"Okay, dad, what are you going to say?"

I don't even remember hearing his

answer, but personally, I was thinking,

you know, and in our in my own

conversation after that, I was like, I

wouldn't say yes or no. I would just ask

my kid like, "What do you think?" You

know, spur like allow them to think

through and think for themselves. The

reason why I'm sharing this story is I

think it was like the next day, a couple

days later, we were on social media and

my fiance like pulled something up and

it was like something with a vampire

literally. And I just remember, you

know, I was like, that's not a

coincidence. I don't believe in

coincidences. But it's super interesting

how our brains were primed for it,

right? We heard a conversation about a

vampire and now all of a sudden there's

a post. Would my brain have noticed that

post on social media if I wasn't primed

for it? I don't know. But I know it

definitely wouldn't be having the impact

that it's having on me now. And I

wouldn't be still thinking about it if

it wasn't. So, we're always being

primed. And you can absolutely prime

your brain on purpose. There is one

other sort of or two other times that I

want to talk about getting your energy

right and really kind of honing in

centering yourself and just refocusing

your mind. And I think when I say

getting your energy right, I now that

I'm speaking through this episode and

fleshing it all out right before my own

eyes, I think that there's kind of the

recharging that there and there is kind

of the intention setting and priming and

directing your energy, right? And then I

think that there's also the times for

centering yourself and calling your all

of your energy back to you. And I think,

you know, we've talked about protecting

your energy. talked about ways to, you

know, recharge obviously like rest and

pouring into yourself, self-care. Also,

just kind of maybe even like I like to

consume content that energizes me. For

me, learning new things is a huge

recharge for me. Like I love reading

research papers that that recharges me

and helps me feel more excited about

life. And so that's going to be

different for you obviously, but that's

one of my things like gets my energy

right and recharges me. And then there

are of course energy directors where we

can actually start to direct our energy

on purpose through intention setting or

priming our brains. And then there are

those centering activities, right? Like

I talked about before I started this

podcast where I will take a few breaths

and call my energy back to me and maybe

say a prayer, maybe set some intentions,

whatever the case may be. And then I

think there's also this other time or

two times with um for really making sure

your energy is right and it is right

when you wake up in the morning and as

you're falling asleep at night. When you

wake up in the morning, you are a blank

slate. And it is the opportunity for you

to set your energy correctly and center

yourself, ground yourself, root yourself

down into the soil and and so that way

you are that deeply rooted tree. And as

you move throughout the day, the wind is

going to come, the challenges, whatever

the maybe it's a beautiful day, maybe

nothing happens. Maybe it's the perfect

day, but maybe it's a stormy day. If

you're deeply rooted, it will matter.

You might bend, but you won't break. You

will not blow over. You will not fall

down if you've rooted yourself first

thing in the morning. Getting your

energy right first thing in the morning.

So important. There's no right or wrong

way to do this. Personally, I view

meditation as a non-negotiable. I think

meditation is something that if you're

the type of person that says, "Oh, I

can't meditate." Stop saying that, first

of all, because that is an instruction

to your brain. Start telling yourself

that you can. It is a practice. It's a

practice for a reason. The people that

are the best at meditating, they're not

necessarily the best at sitting in

silence the whole time, but they are the

best at redirecting their mind and

letting go of the thoughts when they

come. The they're the be the the best

meditators are the ones that are the

best at bringing themselves back to

center. It's a practice of bringing

yourself back to center. And that is a

powerful skill to have. I think

meditation is a practice of yeah being

able to center your energy and bring

your energy back to yourself and direct

your energy in the way that you want it

to go. And it's it's also a practice of

building focus, especially mindfulness

meditation. And focus is so much more

than just focusing on a task and

remembering what you read in a book.

Focus is regulation. focus is you know

the direction of your focus is the

direction of your life and the direction

of your energy because where your focus

goes energy flows. So um meditation for

me is a non-negotiable and it's that way

for you know when I'm coaching people

it's the same like you have to meditate

like you personally I don't I don't see

a way to tap into the superpowers that

we all have and to get to know yourself

on a deep deep a super deep level

without observing yourself and that's

what meditation is. It's a practice of

observing yourself. It's where

self-awareness is born. And meditation

looks different for everybody. There's

not a right or wrong way to do it. I'm

not going to sit here and tell you that

you have to sit in silence, close your

eyes. But I think meditation is

extremely powerful and it does give you

superpowers. When I started meditating

was when I started to change my life.

And so I'll die on that hill. If you

don't currently love your life and

you're not currently meditating every

day, start because there's no way you

don't see a change. There's just no way.

I have people ask me questions. I can

sit and I can explain in things and I

can share information. But if you're

asking me a question that you know I

think that is something that you should

allow your intuition to answer. I'm

going to tell you to go meditate. Get

into a deep state of meditation and then

ask your intuition and allow the answer

to come. And maybe you don't view that

as your intuition. Maybe you view that

as God or the universe speaking through

you or to you. But I think the only way

to tap into that is in the silence of

your mind. And so you got to get into

the silence of your mind. And so

meditation is extremely powerful. But

the point is when you get up in the

morning, setting your energy straight

and getting it right first thing in the

morning is extremely important because

if you don't, you're going to be a leaf

in the wind all over the place. And then

of course the other time is at night

before you go to sleep. How you fall

asleep at night, the way that you fall

asleep, what you're thinking about, that

sets the tone for what simmers in your

brain all night long. So before you

fall, this doesn't need to be anything

extra, but before you fall asleep, try

to fall asleep with a smile on your

face. And if that's a little too much,

try to fall asleep thinking about

something good. Try not to fall asleep

overinking about what's going wrong, the

things that are stressing you out. Try

to fall asleep thinking about even

somebody you love, something you love,

something you're excited for. is bonus

points if you can think about something

you're excited for the next day because

that will also help you get up with a

little pep in your step. Bonus points

for that. But just to wrap this up here,

long story short of this episode is get

your energy right before you do anything

else. Because if you go and you take

action from the wrong state of mind,

from this negative energy, this negative

place, you may not get the outcome that

you're hoping for. You could go and do a

task, complete a task with great energy

and you could complete a task with

terrible energy and you will see the

difference in the work. You will see a

difference in the finished product. I

know for me, you know, it's very easy to

overlook this and think to myself, oh, I

don't have time to go to the gym. I

don't have time to meditate this morning

because I'm going to get straight to

work. I have too much to do. Well, guess

what? You're going to be working,

grinding all day long, pushing yourself

up the hill, facing friction when you

could have just spent that 20 minutes

this morning getting your energy right

and now you're getting into flow state,

feeling good, producing some of the best

work you've ever produced and feeling

great doing it and maybe even getting it

done faster. And so I know, you know,

firsthand it is really easy to think,

oh, you don't have time to. And then and

I've got more going on now than ever.

And think I' I' I remember the other day

I was like, you know what? I don't

really have time to go outside and go

into nature and go for a little short

hike, but I'm going to go and do it

because I know it's going to help me

feel better and that's going to help me

do better. Same way we whenever we look

good, we feel good. We do good. Whenever

we feel good, we do good. Okay? So get

your energy right. Get your energy right

before you do anything else. Before you

try to go and manifest the things that

you want, before you do anything, get

your energy right and regulate your

nervous system. Because when you are

disregulated, when you are when your

energy is chaotic, your nervous system

is disregulated. When you are stressed,

anxious, that's the energy that you're

putting out into the world. And I'm a

firm believer that what you put out into

this world is what you get back. So get

your energy right first. regulate

yourself first before you go and do the

thing. All right, guys. I'm sending

every single one of you so much love.

And I hope this was helpful. I hope that

you gained something from this episode.

And if you would like to spend a little

more time with me, maybe learn from me

in a live free class, then I highly

encourage you to sign up for one of my

free live master classes. Um, they're

really fun and I always have a great

time. Everybody always has a great time

and at the end we do a Q&A. I actually

just met someone in person today at the

grocery store and he said to me that he

was actually at a master class a few

weeks ago and that the information's

been really helping him and he just

moved and he doesn't know a single

person. So, shout out to him. If you're

watching this right now, shout out to

you. I actually didn't have a chance to

say this after you walked away. I was

like, damn. I just hope he knows that.

That's big time. Moving to a new city

where you don't know a single person,

that's a bold move and that's a power

move. And you know, doing that, you're

gonna you're going to experience some

level ups in life. So, I'm excited for

him. But anyway, guys, come to my free

live master classes. Like I said, the

registration link is always in the link

in my bio on Instagram. I'm sending

every single one of you guys so much

love. Until the next episode, I will see

you soon. Bye, everyone.
