Hey, my friends, it's Brendan Burchard and welcome to a best of edition of the Brendan show. These best of episodes feature training that I have done live, sometimes online to 10 of thousands of people or live on stage where I was speaking on.
Some stages across the world.
Or these might be some of my monthly training programs and highlights of those that I do every single month with our monthly students. So I know you're going to really enjoy these because these are a little.
Bit more of a deep dive look.
At some of my training as a personal and professional development trainer. You know, I focus so much on helping you find that deeper level of motivation and and start practicing some of those high performance habits. Well, you hear me talk about many of those concepts in these special episodes here. These are my best of trainings only and exclusively right here on the Brendon show. So I hope you enjoyed them. Please note that as you hear me speak in many of these, you'll hear me reference something because sometimes I'll have been training live or on video or on stage or through a broadcast. So you might not be able to see something, I'm sorry, suggesting or motioning tool or maybe even drawing out on a flip chart or motioning towards on a presentation. But you'll get the gist of it. So make sure you bust out your journal. Take some good notes here because this is really valuable insights on the mindset or the strategies that you need to adopt in order to improve your life. And if you want to go and get more content like this but much more deeper and have more of an interactive relationship with me in this type of training, make sure you join our high performance monthly training program. That's our monthly subscription program where I go live with you and our high performance students every single month and I train on a new topic or a new piece of research that we've created from the high performance institute and I train on that and then I do Q and A and actual live coaching, interactive coaching with people every single month. That's called high performance monthly and you can Access it at brendon.com forward/monthly. That's brendon.com forward/commonly B R E N D O N.com monthly to get deeper dive training similar to this.
So if you like this, you would.
Love that training program. But without further ado, let's jump in right now to one of the Brendon show's best of trainings.
Get energetically consistent. I feel like a lot of people never had this as a goal in their Life. So they've never experienced the true levels of a positive psychology.
And what do I mean by that?
Energetically consistent is saying, you know, each day I want to have energy because.
I'm going to generate energy.
I also, energetically, I want to experience every day. Listen. Every day. Let me say it one more time in case I'm not communicating. Every day I want to experience these emotions. Number one, enthusiasm. So I make myself generate it in the morning in the shower. I say, what could I be excited about today or create that will excite me today? What can I get enthusiastic about? Every day I'm going to be enthusiastic. It's not some days because the power plant doesn't have energy, it generates energy. Every day I will experience enthusiasm or I will die trying. Number two, every day I will die if I do not experience joy. I will make joy happen during that day. Every day. Some people say every day. That's impossible. I said, no, every day I experienced joy when I was laying in a hospital bed thinking I was going to die because I said, I don't want to die without experiencing joy. So I made a joke with the doctor who was treating me. As he was resetting my wrist, my.
Wrist was literally hanging off like the bro snap.
It was disgusting. And I made a couple jokes about it. The doctor thought I was nuts, but I was going to make a joke.
I've lost important people in my life.
And on that day when everyone was so sad, I made sure I was like, what memory do I have of them that was so positive and fun that I could share with people to.
Brighten this moment, to help them remember.
The good times with this person?
And.
And I'd recount a memory of a good time and people would laugh about it and they would share a good time. And even in the darkness, there's a moment of joy remembering them. Every day I'm going to experience joy. And my third emotion, every day, I'm going to experience love. Every day, it doesn't matter if that means that I come home and I look at those little cats. I'm going to see my lady and I'm just going to be so excited to see her. I'm going to annoy her with a big hug. If she had a bad day, it doesn't matter. I'm going to experience those things because energetically, I'm going to train myself to live a life that is enthusiastic, joyous and loving, period. And most people have never conditioned themselves for a certain level of feeling. And I go, what a bummer. I mean, what a bummer if you don't generate those things on a consistent basis. That's why I say energetically consistent. What energy do you want to feel consistently each day? And then don't wait for it to happen. Say, what would I have to create? For me, one of the things after one of my, you know, my car accident when I was a young kid, I was tired. I was tired, I was scared and depressed and hurt and I was tired. And I said, I don't want to, I don't want that. I want high energy every day. Doesn't mean I'm out of my mind. Doesn't mean I don't slow down and enjoy the moment. Because if you've ever been with me, I'm a super. I just love life, I'm going to be present with it. I'm not always trying to achieve things in meditation, sitting in a room, reading a book. My favorite thing in the world, right? But energetically, I want to be present and vibrant. And I began with the end in mind, as Stephen Covey taught us. I said, what would I have to do to create that? So I built nutrition plans and I built ways of exercising. I built ways of using my mind each day so that I had higher energy, not to be higher energy than this person or that person, just to feel great about life, that's getting consistent about the energy you want to feel. And I also would suggest that your energy that you consistently feel, that's impacting your wife and your kids and your husband and the neighbors and the people that you lead. So sometimes it's about being energetically consistent for them too. And lots of people use this point as a jump off point for their long list of excuses. Well, you don't understand, Brennan. I'm this or I'm that. I'm this personality. I'm introverted, you don't understand, or I'm, you understand I'm bipolar or you understand I struggle with adhd. Everybody likes to come out with their personal perspective of their proven or their assumptive psychosis and neuroses.
And they say, well, I don't.
You don't understand you doesn't matter. No matter who you are, what you've been through, you can condition yourself for a better emotional quality of life. If that was not true, and then we wouldn't have the entire practice of therapy, we would not have the entire practice of psychologists and psychiatrists and neuroscientists who've just proven decade after decade after decade that people can change their life, they can feel better, they can develop.
Better ways of thinking.
We wouldn't even have cognitive behavioral theory, we wouldn't even have the entire Journal of Cognition if we couldn't have consistently and scientifically proved year over year over year over year, that our thoughts can control our emotions and that we can set up habits to feel better about ourselves. If that was not true, the entire world would be depressed every day. And the entire world is not. So please challenge yourself and even those who say, but Brenda, I am depressed. Guess what? With your therapeutic intervention, with work, all they're doing is teaching you to make healthier decisions and having a better way of thinking for yourself that ultimately will make yourself better over a period of time. If biochemically you need assistance with that, then see a professional. I am not a doctor. I don't play one on the interwebs. But I am here to tell you that if this has not been a goal of your life, this will change your life today. Choose the emotions you want to experience and condition yourself to experience them and you'll thank me the rest of your life.
