AIUS Session 6 Recording

Yeah, just yesterday. Just had to chip away and that was.

Yeah.

Yep.

Quick hello to Mimi, who's just tuned in. How are you? But going back to just your comment there, Mitch, that's. Can you hear us, Mimi?

Yes, I can hear you there.

Good. Having a few lags. It's all good, Mitch.

Yeah.

Mitch, just going back to your point there, that I think one of the. The things that, you know when change is underway or when you're advancing in these things is when you have days like yesterday and you wake up this morning going, oh, not great, but better than it could have been. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like, not. I'm not going back to my vision statement enough. And there's some other things that I did, like I did first thing this morning to clear up, as in, right, where's my head at? What are these questions? Why am I feeling, you know, this way? You know, what was vision statement? So it was like, re. And I hadn't done that. I was so busy on the habits that I hadn't actually gone back to the.

I'm going, great.

I'm smashing the habits. And then lost that whole, what am I doing? Why am I doing this? Like.

Yes.

Anyway, but having said that, as we'll get down to, you've had, you know, really good week and really good progress, so I'll just check in with you all. Can I just, first of all, check. You've all got your phones ready for use for the meditation, but apart from that, just having them out of view and out of sight and also checking that you've all got your vision statements ready for a bit of a play. Yep. For the email. And you've got the document that I sent through, which was the image generator, which we'll all have a bit of a giggle with. And if you don't have chat GPT to do images, I'll use my account for you here. So we will. When everyone is ready and clear and ready to go, we shall get ourselves underway. All right, all good. Thumbs up, ready to crack on.

To crack on.

We like cracking on. So with that in mind.

Cool.

We are already at. We've already done the intro slide. I don't tell you to need to tell you to avoid burgers anymore, which. Sorry. Three, two, one.

You're under.

Yeah, that's right.

So.

Oops. Oh. All sorts of things sliding across that defeat of the purpose there at the moment. How did you all go with your bubble pops and your meditations and your thought shopping this week? How were the week 5 tasks for you getting some nods from Ken Navarrohini Bugistry. I'm seeing a distinct lack of thumbs up from you Both in the WhatsApp group. Gonna give you some of that one. What's going on here?

So actually I haven't done much thought shopping but I am doing meditations. Three meditations every day.

Yep.

And body balance. I'm like, you know, updating and with bubble pops. What I have realized that the like you know, in the one on one sessions that the weekly targets are the small targets that you have given. The more I'm focusing on that, the more I'm like, you know, like, you know, I'm forgetting about the like, you know, the, I mean the negative aspects of it for an example. Like, you know, negative aspects. What I meant by is like, you know, there's like I don't have too many thoughts. I'm not overwhelmed. So if I'm not having those. So I cannot like and I cannot write or pop a bubble. So that's why like, you know, I'm just focusing. I was currently focusing on those so I didn't have much like. And I was not focusing on those areas much. That's what.

And yeah, I think that's a, a good comment. I, I think two responses to that One is it's great that the program's working and no one's overwhelmed. But the key part, part for both of you is, is to understand that yes, you're in flow at the moment, as you might have just come into hearing from Mitch is that. But there will be days that will knock you off. The reason we do the work beforehand is so that we're being proactive, not reactive. And I'd encourage you both that whilst we're still in the midst this just find limiting beliefs, things to play with just to keep using what's been done. What we've got there in the app because on the, you know, it's a bit. These mental fitness exercises, there's two, two great sayings about whether it's building resilience, mental fitness, hardiness, preparation. Yeah, it's like an insurance policy which you don't know you need it until it's too late. That's why we do it. The second part is that a bit like deodorant. The people who don't do mental fitness work are the ones that really need to do it the most. Which I thought was quite a funny saying. And the idea just being that we're in this program, do the work, make the time, find the time. Yeah, it loads up but as you've been finding, I know Mitch is finding as well, I know Rahini's been doing the walks and the meditation at the same time. You find ways and suddenly you have a new habit with four things included that really give you great stuff. And we'll come back through that in a moment. Any other comments on the Q map from week five? Rahini, did you have anything to add there? That was a no. You're on mute, but I think that was a no.

It's not. I'm good.

You sure? Absolutely sure? Yes.

Okay.

All right, we'll keep cruising along then. So today we've got a bit of a fun exercise towards the end, but one of the ones we go through today, which is again, a bit of a fundamental for quality minds, is all around the notion of limiting beliefs. And it's, for me, it's one of the really interesting ones because it's one of the parts that we. We don't really start to address unless we understand how they exist, why and where. And I challenge it. For a lot of people, the notion of limiting beliefs is simply they do not have an awareness they exist in our minds. And we'll come to that later on. And I think once people do, we start to unpack a little bit more, but with a little bit of excitement. And the hyper life design, we'll get to that later on. But a bit of excitement today when we go to the next slide, is that Mr. Palmer has clearly gotten way excited this week and has significantly increased his interaction, not just the amount of times, but also leaderboard. And on that one, in the leaderboard, everyone is now, I think, towards the top third of all participants, which anything below that's not great for a coach. But to see you all now all moving up, it demonstrates building of the habits and to keep them going. So, Mitch, talk to me. The big jump from the 25s to the 44, what stimulated that for you?

I think tagging on was the simple thing to do. So, you know, if I went to the gym, before I went to the gym, I'd put a power thought in and then I'd go to the gym. So then I'd log the gym and then come back, do a journal entry around that, similar to what you said, and then quite often sort of tag a journal entry on the end of a power thought or a journal entry at the end of the day. Day. I'm not sure. Do you get points for meditation? I don't really know if that. The meditation thing is something that I was Saying to Mark during the week I was trying to find time for it and that, you know, I'm quite reactionary in terms of how my day is planned, which is quite difficult, finding small time, you know, small moments. But then I sort of changed. I was writing to work and then I changed that to walking to work and then I could listen to like two meditations. Walking to work. I mean, less so about this wasn't a point thing. It was just having that time then as I was walking to work to have, you know, two meditations, something along those lines. So that kind of really helped as well as then obviously getting the benefits of not just the walking but the meditation as well.

Yeah, nice work. Really good, really good. And Ken, excellent. Great continuity. All very happy to see the other guys, opportunity to lift a little bit. Hovering around these numbers for a bit. Your course, your life. No one else will do the work on you if you don't. So I encourage you. Just keep finding ways to do more. After today, we're halfway through. That'd be my key message for you. And from an overall perspective, no real surprises that we've got Ken there with a very high number of hits because over time he's continuing to be really consistent with what going Consistency trumps every time with change, change, self improvement. It's not winning the big games. It's the little moments every day. It's the consistency in the touch points. And Mimi, for you, that challenge is finding, okay, well, how do you just fit it in without it being a pain in the neck? You know, even though great, you might not need to bubble pop, but what else can you do? And I agree, some days, if there's no stress, you sort of, what do I bubble pop about? What do I do? What do I do? I've got to find something wrong. It's good that you can't. And if you can't go journal it or power shop. It'll take a moment to go, wow. Actually feeling really good and clear today. And that's the same sort of thing we encourage, obviously. So any comments or queries before we head along? No, all good. All righty. So without further ado, we're going to talk a little bit about this notion of limiting beliefs. We come to a meditation or, you know, bit of reflection time throughout today's session to talk a bit about limiting beliefs. And I'll be looking for someone to be brave enough to have a bit of a crack on the app with me as we go along, if possible. But if none of you are miserable, Enough. Then I'll just have to flash a few slides up and we'll just go through some power thought shopping there. So do any of you remember what the main commentary around what a belief is in regard to a thought from earlier in the year?

I mean, the way I always thought of it was beliefs are, I guess, very rigid concepts in your mind that, you know, you, like, you kind of carry with you. Like, you know, they're truisms to you because that's what you believe them to be versus thoughts, which are a little bit more fungible, that can be changed. Right. Beliefs are a little harder to change. Thoughts are a little easier to change.

Excellent, excellent. Ken, would you mind, given that you've sort of going down the line of the next slide and a few bits and pieces there. So rather than me just reading off my slides, how do you feel if I just continued this discussion with you and got the others to interject? Because I think we'll probably find it more interesting to get through. Okay, so I'm going to. And I also have a bit of a general. Just get tired of running slides. I quite like. I prefer to have a conversation. So. So with that notion of the relationship between thoughts and belief. Ken and anyone else, please interject here. Where do the beliefs come from?

Typically, as I guess I remember, you know, from our earlier sessions, it was, you know, things that your parents give you, like, you know, from zero to seven, like, these are the things that typically, like, you know, you have a, a faith or belief in, in a religion or you have a belief in a, you know, you know, all dogs go to heaven.

Right.

I mean, you know, things that are said to you from the people in your young life that are the most influential, that form that kind of belief structure.

What is a belief structured on that? So you, you said where we got them from, Right. They're fed to us. Don't need to show that slide anymore. About the, you know, the two age seven, where we don't really challenge the thoughts or culture of society and we very seldom push back onto our parents and say, oh, I'm not sure about this, but what is a belief really? It's a thought that we kept having that we stopped challenging, that went around in a circle till it reaches that point that Ken says that we have an idea over here. We know we have an idea. Well, that's interesting. We challenge ideas and we discuss them. We take them apart and then we have the thought which is some understanding of that idea, something coming in action. But then when the thoughts Go, enough. They suddenly lock in and they become beliefs. This notion of, I can't do this because, oh, well, kids who don't you go to uni aren't clever or, you know, that person's just a bit weird and a bit of a wacko. So I'm going to use this one for you as an example. Mitch used to work in an office with me in Auburn Road for a little bit. And next door, don't know if Mitch remember, there was this incredibly wacko. Accountants now describe him too. He was weird. He had. You'd see him one day and he'd talk to you really intensely. The next day he would step aside and walk the other direction. Bit older than me, Ken, seeing we're going this bit older, very successful, incredibly good with numbers. And we all knew, we knew, we believed he was a bit of a wacko. But how is he good at accounting now, if I give you some of the other things that go with this. So he was not only good at accounting, he was extraordinary at accounting. Struggled to make eye contact, really lacked a lot of confidence. Not good with people at all. And I only remember this because about three weeks ago, my mum walked past this guy and this guy literally walked past her and turned around and said to my mum, who's 17, he would be only five or so years younger. How old are you now? Must be a while. You must be old. Is your husband still alive? This is how we started the conversation. Now, what sort of a character am I describing with today's knowledge?

Autistic.

Yeah. High performing Asperger's. Although we don't say Asperger's anymore. High performing on the spectrum, the eye contact, the discomfort, the phenomenal performance with numbers. Because what we now know is that that is what people on the spectrum, that's how they are. They're not weird, they just are. But even when I said to my mum, mum, actually, he's not wacko, you know, he's. He's probably high performing on the spectrum. Oh, yes, Mark. But he's still weird. No, no, he's not. He's not weird. He just is. Because what we know, not, not a belief, what we now know is when you see people who are interacting like.

That.

They can't change it. They can't choose not to be that way any more than I can't choose to be this height. With graying, I could color my hair, but graying hair and failing eyesight and these things can't change. What was fascinating was watching how my mum was unwilling Even with the knowledge in front of her, she sort of, oh, God, you're. She actually said, yeah, you're. Oh, God, you're right. Yes. But God, he's odd, Mark. And it's sort of. No, he's not odd. He's just different to you and I. And it was a really interesting reflection on what we're talking about today. That because as a family we had constantly gone, oh my God. Did you see Richard today? Did you see how he was dressed for 20 years ago? Oh, I saw him today and he was talking about his car and his car wasn't there. And he'd go off on Tangents. So for 20 years we'd been having these thoughts and conversations about this person to later realize we just didn't understand him. We believed we did. And then, you know, the moment you have that, that awareness and you go, ah. And you start re evaluating what we thought we knew but was in fact a belief. And so when, if we think about that sort of thing, so we've got that undercurrent of thought running in our mind. These other beliefs are habitual thoughts. They're so habitual, we don't even challenge them anymore because they are just there. This brand is better than this brand. You know, 20 years ago, you can't trust Indians in business, Mark. I know that, Mark. Why is that? Because we did a web project and it went really badly. Why is that? And then they'd make racial comments about the Indians they'd been working with. And sort of. Could it be possible that you were in fact part of the, part of the problem? And that was what I chose was I felt that, well, if I go there and meet Indians and I'll be able to work out for myself how good this will be in 20 years later, 30 visits coming up. It's that understanding. And so this notion of limiting beliefs is really digging down and getting a sense of. And especially now that we're getting a little more contemplative and a little more comfortable with some of this content is seeing if we can get to that level where we sort of go, well, are there things that I'm just allowing to direct me day by day, that if my life is traffic and I'm moving in a certain direction, am I still blindly making some decisions along the way or is there an opportunity to challenge some of these to brings? If 95% of our thoughts are automate, automatic and tend to repeat from yesterday, it would go to say that we're probably holding on to some beliefs that are really tough to move past. How am I going with everyone here? Good, good, Yep, excellent. So I'll keep sharing for the moment if it will be nice enough to come up on the screen. There we go. And I'll share a little bit about one of my this. And this happened in my life quite some years ago so I will just cancel that and do that. So my parents split when I was quite so not. Not particularly dramatic or challenging this one, but when I was about as a kid, my natural father was an alcoholic. My mum left him when I was about 5, remarried when I was about 10. And in between that period of time my dad was just a hopeless alcoholic sort of a dad. He would drink too much, forget birthdays, I'd go over and see him three times a year interstate and it would always end up being disastrous and got so bad to. When I got to about 16 years old I just decided I wouldn't call him anymore because all that would happen was I'd ring him, I'd get upset or I'd ring him, he'd be drunk or he'd forget another birthday. So I thought let it go. And when I was about 19 one day my mom just made this comment in passing, oh my God, you're so like your dad. And I was having just a crap teenage day and I turned to my mom and said, oh, what? So I'm going to be an alcoholic and I'm crap and I won't make a very good father or hold together a marriage and went, what did I just say? And what I did is I realized that I was. And mum said, no, you've just got a good sense of humor like your dad, Mark. And it's sort of oh. What I realized was I'd been living in fear of turning out exactly like my dad, exactly like all of the things in a male father figure that I didn't want to have in life. And I think from that point onwards is probably the period of time when I actually started really to become my own person, my own young man and understanding that we get heavily influenced but we can also choose to reevaluate those memories and those experiences as we go on. So that was a really interesting one for me. I think the next big one of those I made was, well, who says you need an IT degree to go and start an IT company? So I left my job as a biochemist and I started as a web designer the next day. I think in 99 or 2,020 something years later. But at the time everyone said we can't do that because you haven't got a programming degree. And we start and you know, these are the things that have been, you know, Mark, why would you stop being a biochemist? It's such a good job, Grandma. Working in biochemistry is basically washing dishes. Or you do a PhD, there's nothing in between. Well, you then go and work at a university. There's nothing else. None of that appeals to me. But Mark, you did that degree. It's wasted. Maybe. Or I can learn from these are limiting beliefs. All good, good to keep going. So where this flows in the context of the quality mind five star model for life is we get to this, we've done the evaluation and a bit of retraining. What we're aiming to do with the limiting beliefs component of today is to really start clearing away some of those last objections to us moving forward. Any of start identifying and getting to the surface, any of those things that are still getting in the way of us of advancing to the next version of ourselves. Because once we've got that space, we can grow into it. We can dream and create our new selves. And then as we're doing, as Mitch has discussed, as Rohini with her walking with buggy through with greater relaxation, with, you know, Ken with aplomb, leaving his job, going, you know what it was going in the wrong direction, hard decision. But people, you're living it now, you're making your progress and that's sort of where we're up to now. So let us put the context around this. So we've discussed some of this sort of stuff here. If you imagine your mind was like a house in those first seven years, your relatives, your friends, your teacher and everyone else was just dumping their thoughts into the house of Mark or into the house of everyone else. And suddenly your house is full of baggage that other people have left there. Your house and your ideas are not necessarily your own. Those thoughts, they stay around long enough. They come beliefs and it's other people's thoughts and beliefs that begin to get in the way of us growing. It might be society saying to young women, you cannot run a business. Mimi, when my mum was your age, this was not an option. I had a conversation with someone the other day being really. He was 25, being really critical that his dad didn't have the emotional intelligence to deal with an alcohol problem and sort of mate, when your dad was a boy, no one ever knew what emotional intelligence meant. Men were men. They didn't cry, they were hard and they drank. That's what men did with their 55 and so on. What these things and these limiting beliefs have the ability to do is they start to clutter our life. They add to the noise, they hold us back, they become things that do not serve us. Literally, what we're doing here, although that is a terrible looking image on the right hand side, if you ask me. I mean, who would renovate a room to look like that? I don't know, because now I'm just scared. But the point of this one being that we entirely have the choice to question our beliefs. And some of them will go, that is not a belief, that's a truth. It always holds. Yeah, we have that choice, but we also have the choice to go, hey, am I brave enough to challenge that? And to stand up to the face of that and say, has it gotten the way? Because the next cheesy diagram around all of this sort of stuff is that our beliefs, our perceptions and our actions, our energy, our vibe, whatever you want to call this sort of stuff filters out into our perception of not only the outside world, but the energy we get back, the people we interact with, the way our external reality goes. And so by cleaning up our house, it gives us the opportunity to begin cleaning up the garden. But it's extremely hard to change our outside world before we've done the work on ourselves is what this comes down to. How am I going? Everyone good to keep going. So if I can get you to get out your phone and I believe it's actually limiting belief busting, I think it's now 23 on your apps. What we're going to do here is just have a bit of fun. So get out your notepad, bit of paper whilst you're listening to the meditation, running through this little drill and having some fun with it, Just see how far you can make yourself comfortable with having a crack. Yeah, just see if you can try and listen to your world or the universe or however you'd like to do it. And as you are challenging yourself, see what comes to the surface. It may not happen today, it may come later on when you go to the bathroom, wash your face and go, oh my God, there it is. And you can let us know later on. But have some fun with this one. Yeah, see what comes up and if you're comfortable, write them down. Write down as many points as you can, challenge them, stew on them, journal with them, play with them. Over the coming days, we can work through them in our one on ones, but get this app out, have a play for five or so minutes and Just see what comes up for you. If it doesn't, not a problem. But give yourself over to the next six minutes. Yeah. Good to go. Everyone got apps ready? All I'll ask you to do when you get kicked into this one is please be kind enough just to keep nice and quiet for the start just in case someone else isn't quite on the same time zone as you. Guided meditations number 23. See you in about five minutes. Go for. It's. It's it. Everyone is back in the room. How did you all go with that little experiment? Plenty of enthusiasm. Rohini, can we start with you? What have you got to offer?

So I think in the real world, you know, we normally don't. Don't think of limiting belief. You know, unless until. Unless this was always constantly hammered on the mind that what is the belief that you're limiting. What is the limiting belief? That is when actually it triggered for us for at least me to think about it, you know. And there were a couple of thoughts that were running in my mind, you know, which probably I don't think would have come to my mind that I mean so easily, you know, because you're putting your whole mind into that one notion which is limiting belief. So I think yeah, there were a couple of thoughts that have come to my mind. Let's see.

Good work. Thank you for that. Rainy, lovely. Mimi, you're next. You've been very quiet today.

So I haven't like, you know, I've just completed the meditation, haven't written anything. So the one thing that, that you said that like, you know, it was popping in my mind continuously. It's like we have to start questioning why and we should not be like, you know, okay with saying it's okay with everything. Like you know, we should always start questioning why. Like, you know, why am I going through this? Maybe why this day, why this is not like self pitting but saying that like, you know, why am I going through this for this particular moment. So and to work on those small little elements. Sometimes it becomes really hard to. So that. That's one of the main reason it was. It wasn't like I didn't have a moment. I did have many moments in the past week. But what happened? Like, you know, when you start working on bubbles, like you know, you go, I. You talk about that there is one bubble of belief. You like, you know, you go in and you understand that. Okay. Like you know, you go in very deep and that sometimes becomes very scary. So yeah, yeah, so. So yes, like you know that this was the only thing which kept popping in my mind while I was listening to this meditation.

Thank you very much for sharing that. May I ask you one more question? Yeah, yeah. What scared you.

Sometimes? Like, you know, there are some elements which, like, you know, you don't want those things to pop up very often, but maybe like, you know, it's always there in the subconscious and. Yeah, like, you know, what?

Oh, not at all. What happens if you actually bring something in the subconscious to the conscious?

I guess it scares you more. I mean, like, you know, as in, like, you know, it's. I mean, you start understanding that why this is maybe like, you know, why certain things are happening to you or maybe why you are going through a certain period of time for a very long time, maybe so. So, like, you know, it's really submerged and I don't have any, like, you know, words to explain because I'm still in that zone. I couldn't explain myself better right now. But yes, I'm definitely going to journal and work on a bubble over this maybe like, you know, because I haven't, like, you know, given it much of a thought. As in what's there in the submerged, I mean, situation.

Yeah. So first of all, again, thank you for sharing that part. The answer to what happens when you bring something from the subconscious into the conscious is literally like just shining a light on it. We start to be able to do what Rohini said, which is put our energy into that. That thing. It's that belief into that task which we can't do if we leave it in the dark. And like everything in a child's mind in particular, you know, remember going to bed with the lights on? Lights get turned off and you'd be looking in that corner at that shape and terrifying yourself about that corner. And then as soon as you started crying or whatever and mum or dad came in and turned on the light, you'd go, it's a pair of socks. As soon as the light shined on it, I think so much becomes so much easier to deal with. And yeah, hopefully you get to a point where you're comfortable sharing with us what you've gotten to. And even if you don't share it, write it down. Write down that thing on the piece of paper which scares the out of you and then work out what your options are and won't take long until it starts to dissolve or you'll deal with it and be stronger for it. Once you bring it, it all gets better. It's great. Ken, Mitch, would any of you again, Mimi. Thank you for sharing. Ken or Mitch, for the. The sake of time, would either of you two like to jump with something and share maybe a belief that's come to the surface you'd like to challenge? Go ahead, Mitch.

Oh, you go, Ken.

I mean, it was more of a thought. I don't know if it's a limiting belief, but maybe it's just a feeling right now where, you know, with all of the, you know, the roller coaster I've had this year with employment focusing on starting up a company, I think kind of more of a, you know, I don't know if it's a limiting belief or just to feel like, am I enough for the moment? Yeah, right. Am I. Am I doing enough? Or, you know, or is, you know, am I not the right person? Right. Or do I not have what it takes to kind of, you know, get to that point where I want to be? Right. But crossing the chasm feels a little big right now. Like, it feels a little. Not unsurmountable. Just, you know, I know there will be tough days ahead.

Okay.

Kind of stuff. So it's. It's more just. It's more feeling. It's more like, you know, and then kind of just going back to that. Well, it's one day at a time. Right. You just gotta, you know, be patient with it. And then, yeah, it's, you know, other limiting beliefs is really just not letting my past decisions or past arguments take hold in my brain. Like, don't let them, like, give them no. No oxygen to survive because they're gone. There's nothing I can do about them.

Would you. I'm putting you on the spot here, Ken, but would you feel comfortable doing a quick limiting belief bubble on something that came up that just for the. The benefit of the group? And what I'll do is I'll live on my phone and you can narrate to me. You up for that one? Yep. It's a big ask. Thank you. Alrighty, let's see what we got. So. There we go. Share my screen. The whole screen. All righty. So you're going to. I'm going to guide. You're going to narrate. So we're going to do a limiting belief bubble for Ken, and we're going to call that Ken's Belief. You good with that one for a working title, Ken. Alrighty. So, Ken, Ken's Belief. What is holding on to this. What does holding on to this belief right now give you?

I mean, it gives me a way out, and it gives Me an opportunity to. To not even try. Right.

Ah, excellent. I. That. Yeah, perfect. Perfect. What do you think holding on to this belief so far has cost you, Ken?

Probably just opportunity. You lost opportunity, lost time.

What are we trying to create the whole time when we are entrepreneurs? So what's it costing you right now?

Yeah, I think just too many, too many thoughts of what can go wrong rather than focusing on what's going right.

All right, forecast two years into the future and without challenging this beliefs, what's it going to have costed you then?

I mean, I think it's gonna, it's gonna cost me a big portion of my vision statement of where I want to be in that time frame. Like it's, it's going to cost me to not. To not be on the path to living the way I want to.

Okay. Without this belief holding you back, Ken, Who would you become and how would you act?

I think I would. I mean, I think I would become the leader the team needs. I think I would act more confidently. I wouldn't second guess everything that we're trying to do right now. This is right. That's right. Like I would, I think I would probably have just a little bit more action.

More action.

Excellent.

So what is the exact opposite of your limiting belief? What's the power statement that offsets all of those things?

I am. I am enough. I am the right person to take on this challenge of starting a new company.

Now, Ken, would you mind if I just break out of character a little and just run back through it just for a couple of seconds. So first of all, thank you. But this process of what Ken's done here, and it's simple and it's a little bit manufactured because I've walked Ken through it. But bear with me in my explanation. This is a really good one. What does it give you? What does this negative thought cycle give you? And I love this in the context of. So you're giving up smoking. Okay, what does smoking give you? What, what does putting that cigarette in your mouth give you that sort of idea? Because in the same context it's probably not giving us anything. You notice here we have cost in the past, cost in the presence of and cost in the future. And the idea of this is to basically sort of see, well, the past is gone, but now is the moment that we can take control. That if we don't take control, this builds fear. Nothing changes. If nothing changes, then there's this notion of, well, how about if it's gone? How about if I'm brave Enough and comfortable enough to write it down, to shine some light and work through it. With that belief cleared away, how do I start filling my house? How do I start designing my house and garden? And that is you can become who you want to be. The answer to that is always it's new me version 2. And then the exact opposite is I am enough. And it is literally as simple as that process. So whilst this may not seem incredibly powerful, Ken, can I just ask, even though that was a simple, lightweight exercise, how does it feel as you go through those points?

No, it feels good. I mean, if anything to, to get them out there so I can, you know, figure out why that belief is limiting me or at least to the point where I can. I have something where I can say no, I just stop worrying about these things. Focus on these things. Right. Do this. Take. Take more action, worry less about. I think it's the, you know, if something will go wrong versus when it will go wrong.

Yeah, nice, Nice. Fantastic. Well, I'm going to pop that bubble and I claim the points.

There you go.

So, Ken, first of all, thank you very much for doing that one with me. And I'll now get my phone to leave the meeting. There we go. And bring you all back. So again, thank you very much for doing that, Ken. That was very cool to have a willing participant. Does anyone else have any questions of that process or of Ken that they might like to just pop in there? Any comments or queries? No. Alrighty then. Well, we are doing very well for time so far. So what we are going to do is finish on a bit of a positive for a bit of a giggle. And this is something I did in a training session with Rich the other day. So first of all, part of Quality Minds without the one on one coaching doesn't include building a vision statement. And the vision statement is, I think it's been something that in working with you guys and it all seems to have been filled you with a certain amount of energy and a bit of drive and a bit of a focus or if nothing else, some idea of who we can become with all of those other obstacles removed. So we had a session the other day and we were looking at building vision boards for customers. You know, how do you put together, you know, get some lovely photographs and build out your vision board and, you know, becomes things like, oh, you know, what car are you driving, what does your house look like, how are you spending time? Where do you go on holiday? And you basically Google when you go on Google for these sorts of Things and that, you know, Range Rover, Sport Black, Download the picture, beach by the house and Goer, Download the picture, these sorts of things. But what I would like you all now to do, because this is quite good fun, is please open up those two documents, one of them being your vision statement, the second one being the vision statement generator. Because what I did halfway through this thing with Rich the other day is I got not bored, but because I've been playing with the AI, I decided, I know I'll have some fun with this. So I started writing a chat GPT script. So what I want you to do is, with both of those documents open, go to your vision statement and copy your vision statement and paste it below the line into the GPT generator document. Just give me a hand in the air when you've done that one for me.

I don't have the second document or did I miss it somewhere?

Okay, so you didn't get the. The vision primer that I sent through. Has everyone else got that? Yep, got it. All right. Just give me two shakes, Ken, and I will.

Find I have the first document.

So you haven't. You didn't get the second one by email.

Vision Statement Image Generator. That is the one that I.

Okay, if you've got the vision statement generator, that's perfect. And. What I'll do for you, Ken, is I'm just going to copy this.

Oh, I see it. Okay, I've got it.

I'm okay. So basically what I want you to all to do is when you have copied and pasted your vision statement below the vision statement generator, you copy everything in that document, the vis, the image generator, and your vision statement, and you paste them into chat GPT. And what that little script says is give me lots of pretty images that are a futuristic design of the vision statement. Now, what I did with this is I then copied and pasted them and I put them into. A PowerPoint slide. It seems to be easiest, but it's just for a bit of fun. So let me all know when you've done that and you've started generating some images. I've ran out of credits. Oh, Mitch Palmer. Okay, paste me. Just do me a direct mess. Oh, you can either just paste it straight into the chat or direct message me.

The mission. The vision.

Your vision statement. Yeah, because I will create them for you and send it back for you. Cool. Or if anything really embarrassing comes up, I'll most definitely be sharing that.

I will email it back to you.

Okay. You're doing that now? Yep. Super.

It didn't it went into some error. Let me try again.

Of course it did.

It's funny. I've actually got the paid version of Chat GPT, but it seems to be limited.

Well, it was generating the image and then all of a sudden it just stopped. And I haven't tried to generate images, so I should have enough credits for this.

Note to self, don't do live tech demos.

Is it it? I got one image out of it. I'll upload it.

How's everyone else going with producing their images? While you're all having a look, does anyone else need me to generate some picks for them? There we go. All right, let's see what it comes out for Mr. Palmer.

I. I chucked one into the. Into the chat. The. The one that I did get out.

Yeah, it's just getting me text Mark.

You know it's not generating images for you.

No, I mean, I'm on the free version, so.

Okay, so that might. Might not be the case, so.

Oh, too many characters. I can't send it to you. Do you want me to send you the vision statement?

It's. It's. I'm also Getting a chat GPT 4.0 image generation error. That's good, isn't it? Ah. All right, here's a task for you all. At the end of the meeting, email me through images. Mimi, did you get yours working?

Yes. So here, like, you know, after I have pasted the. The vision statements and your document. So it was all giving me text and then there was a line saying, I'll create these images and deliver them in 16 by 9 ratio in jpg jpeg format. And then I have. Please share the images like you said then, like. And it has given me some images. Yes, it did.

And what were the images like?

It's like, I'm working. I'm having a balanced life. I'm a. I'm a martial art. I'm like, you know, I'm a master in martial art and I haven't like, you know, I am. I'm having great meetings. I'm calm and I'm.

I'm.

I'm traveling the world.

Yeah. All right.

And.

Yeah.

Are they fun to look at?

I got co pilot to respond. Hold on.

Should I share?

Well, I'm going to show you. This is what Mitch got.

Okay.

Very nice.

Yeah, nice. Amazing. I'm just sharing that with you.

Yeah. Rohini, how did you go.

For me? Also, Mark, 4.0 chat GPT. I've pasted this, but it is not giving me the images.

So you Might just need to scroll down a bit more and refresh or find out what words. Mimi, feel free to share away for a laugh. Right, well note to self, don't work with children, pets or technology. It appears I did.

I've whatsapped you.

Okay. You put them on WhatsApp. Okay, that's fine.

That's fine.

So the aim of that ill conceived experiment which I will paste for you.

Well, here's I can kind of share. This is. This is what I got co pilot to. To give me.

Yeah.

Nice, nice.

You're about 20 years younger and you've grown a BE.

I just say that can never grow a full beard like that. So it's really dreaming pretty hard.

Fantastic. How about you Mimi? Can you do a screen share for us?

Yeah, I've shared it in the group but I'll do my screen share. This.

Nice.

Excellent. Look at you going. You are throwing a Dragon Orbit ball in one of those.

Dragon Ball Z.

That's right. I never played that game. That's a nice one. Good work. So. And I'll show. So these are the ones that got me so inspired to do it the other day. These are the ones that, that came out for me that I was having a play with. So you know it's kind of the dojo by the sea, the house renovated. This one had driving, you know the luxury electric car. You know, I mean God knows where in the world I'm affording a house driving within two hours of Melbourne that's that close to the beach. But you know they kind of become kind of inspiring visions for a bit of a laugh. And if nothing else, if they put a smile on our face. Some of those pictures that I've come up with actually really quite love just the concept of. And if nothing else they're not real and so they can afford to be a bit more creative. Having said that when we first did this one internally and we're getting people that the other mind mentors to play around and to produce their images. I'm not sure what else had been in this person's search history but she generated these and this is a lady my age and she's generated these images and she said if I think my AI is corrupt. And these images that came back, everyone was kind of deformed and everyone in the picture was the same male face. But in one of them he was a male that looked like a Chinese lady. Then he was a man in a dress and then he was kind of just this weird looking man that on half of his Foot was a shoe and then the other trouser leg was this big. You know, it did one of those horrible. Those weird. So she recreated them and they're just getting worse and worse and worse. These people in these family poses look like something out of the Adams family. And all of them were kind of like they'd been. They were something out of a Harrison Ford nightmare movie. Very funny. So if nothing else, a bit of a giggle may not take this one out for the corporate workshops in the future because I don't know what I'm going to get. So as we move into finish up view there, guys, and we go to our normal completion of duties, do we have any rewards and recognition that anyone would like to lead off with today?

I think Ken did a great job for that big share. That was awesome. For the thought bubble. Yeah, Always putting yourself out there gets a big tick and I know what the sessions are about, but it's always still, you know, challenging to do that in front of other people.

Thank you. I was going to thank you actually, for your. Your affirmations. That was. That was really nice to see. At least, you know, putting that up like in. In front of your face, like, you know, having that kind of more mindful thing. I can see that, you know, having. Because when I'm doing walking meditations, it's saying, you know, to focus on your power thoughts and your thought shops. But I think having that as a visual representation, that that can also help.

I actually got the idea from a fortune cookie. We had a party the other week and I had a really strong couple of weeks of doing these affirmations. And then I just had a bit of a meltdown and couldn't remember any of them. And then I was thinking about the fortune cookie and put them in a basket and just kind of pull one out like it was. It's a quite a cool experience to just have like a jar full of affirmations and you just sort of tool in and out.

Wow, there's a marketing idea if I ever heard. Or Mitch. That's awesome.

Good work.

There's a bromance going on between these two. So, Rahini, who would you like to nominate for rewards and rec?

For me also, it's Ken, you know, for maintaining that consistency in the midst of, you know, all the problems that he's facing currently. So I think it's Ken for this first. Discipline and consistency.

Okay, nice work. And Mimi, over to you.

Same with me as well. Like, you know, how softer you can. I mean, like, you know, you have Popped so many bubbles, it's really hard to create one and then pop one and then being consistent in the. Like, you know, in the app and. Yeah, like, you know, with thought, shopping and everything.

Thank you.

Stellar work, team. Stellar work as always. Well, as we are once again reaching that point of the day, could we all get you to give me a wave? Just in two shakes time, Some of that. Oh, hang on a sec. It gets way too excited. You think I'd know to do it? Right? Give us a wave, guys. Have a lovely day. Big smiles. God, I look terrible, but we'll go with that one. Anyway, thank you all very much for your time and for your energy. I'll put up. This week's activities are much the same as last week's for the Q map, but really keep on cracking. We're halfway there. I'm going to send you through a link for a midpoint survey to complete. Same one as you did at the start, just to we do a before, a during and at the end survey. And if any of you get a chance and you'd be comfortable doing a quick video testimonial for me would be fabo. But there's absolutely no pressure there if there's any drama.

Yeah, sorry, Mark, I. I got slammed over the last two days trying to get things ready for family that's coming in. So tomorrow's a little better on my schedule. Probably get some time for that.

Not a problem at all. Fantastic. To everyone else, thank you all very much for your time and for your energy today. Keep up your good work and look forward to seeing you all in one on ones and groups again later next week. All right, work hard, guys. Thank you. Bye.
