How I Instantly Improve My State (In 3 steps and less than 10 minutes)
Let me be perfectly clear:
This wasn't written in a sober state.
It was written in a state of EXCITEMENT. (Even thought it’s 6:19AM on a Friday morning, and breakfast sounds good)
"HONEY, I'M HOMEEEE!"
Shaan Puri Said something I'll never forget:
"I look for the miss-match:
Most people in their heart of hearts believe this to be true.
That if they got their energy right before they did the thing it would probably go better.
Nobodies gonna to do it.
That's the best part!
That's the Arbitrage.
It's how a less talented guy like me can do really well."
Low Energy...
Bueller... Bueller...
No one wanted to learn from him.
No one wanted to be in that class room.
That guy was the definition of low energy.
Do you remember the professor from Ferris Buellers day off?
Have you heard a speaker, who you noticed was boring the whole room?
I become curious...
How is this person managing to bore almost the entire room? (and what can a learn to make sure I don't do this?)
These words I'm choosing, and the structure I'm writing within.
There is energy. (I'm writing this at 6:26AM, I have a car to detail at 8:00AM.)
But I'm thinking about you, dear friend.
I believe that your energy will be higher after having read this newsletter.
And I know what you're thinking:
Daniel, Why would working on my energy and the state that I'm in make a difference in my life? (isn't that all a bit woo-woo?)
3 things:
Yes, it is a bit woo-woo
Because people will give you a chance when you have energy and enthusiasm.
It's uncommon. (and attractive)
I have a friend and she is the definition of energy. Her energy elevates every conversation to a higher frequency. It brings a smile and laughter to almost everyone in the circle. That is a beautiful quality to have, and it's rare. (which makes it more valuable)
Sigh
“Daniel, That's just not who I am.” you're thinking:
“I cant bring this much energy to my job.”
“Or to my own education.” (in college or self education after)
“NO ONE cares this much.”
Well mama-mia you're wrong.
There are people that do. (like me writing at this to you at 6:43AM, not because I have to, but because I WANT to!)
And those who do, will end up with better opportunities than those who don't.
This is something that is practiced and cultivated.
You can INSTANTLY change your energy, and there are the longer term changes. I'll hit them both:
Perhaps its a bit like farming.
It takes conscious effort. for a long period of time. But the wonderful thing is that people want you to be around once you begin to operate in the manner.
It makes me think of Hebrews 12:11. "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."
If you're low energy, and low enthusiasm for most of the things that you do in your life. that's okay.
My question is simple:
Would your wealth, relationships, health, and happiness improve if you brought more or less energy to them?
My vote is that they will improve.
Simple challenge:
bring "HONEY, I'M HOMEEEEE!" energy into each place you walk.
Use each doorway as a reset.
You may start to see your world start to change.
Desire:
*Narrators voice*
In a world where most people are sleep walking through life
One man chooses a different path
He brings energy and enthusiasm to each thing he does.
*End Narration *
Dear friend,
Imagine the life you could live if you brought energy, intention, and purpose to your work. (rather than expecting it to be purposeful) How would that change the way you approach the work you do? (or the learning you do)
I believe you can bring purpose to anything. And what you bring to what you do is more important than what you do.
Bring this "HONEY I'M HOMEEEE!" Energy to everything you do.
Because the more excited you are about something, the more willing you will be to do the work to become world class at it. It's a self feeding cycle. The better you get the more fun you have.
The more energy you consciously focus towards something the more knowledgeable you become.
So now I can hear you asking me, Daniel, how do I do that?
How do I change my state and bring this level of energy to my life?
I'll get to that dear friend.
But first, nope, here's the answer:
Action: how to change your state in 3 steps (and less than 10 minutes)
Radical change in your physiology
Focus - Internal laser beam
Story - This ___ could change people's lives
First, Radical change in your physiology.
This means
taking a cold shower
dunking your face in cold water.
doing pushups
going for a run.
Second, Focus - Internal laser beam
Focus is like a laser beam.
If I simply focus on just writing this newsletter and forget about all the other things that are going on just for this moment, this newsletter doesn't stand a chance. you are GOING to be changed because of the energy that I've brought to this newsletter. (have you felt it?)
Third, Story - This ___ could change people's lives
The story that you tell yourself about anything drastically effects the outcome.
If you don't believe you can become good at something, you won't even try. (that's why I wrote about how perfection murders your future)
If I was writing this, but thinking about how I should be making breakfast (because now its 6:59AM and I only have 45 minutes before I need to go to work)
Instead I remind myself, that this newsletter, this one might be the one that someone writes me about years later.
They read this over and over.
And one story or one idea within this newsletter changed the rest of their life. They decided to bring energy and purpose to what they do. And the trajectory of their life improved dramatically because of my writing.
I'm going to write a drastically different newsletter with that story vs if I'm thinking about eggs and toast. (which mmm that does sound good)
Anyway. I gotta go now. But this idea has been in me and I needed to share it.
The TLDR of changing your state:
Radical change in your physiology
Focus - Laser Beam
Story - This could change someone's life
HONEY, I'M HOMEEEE!
