Hey, my friend. It's Brendan. And welcome to day number five of this wellness masterclass. In this session, we're gonna talk about the thing on everyone's mind when you say wellness the first thing people often think about is their energy, but the second thing they often think about is stress. The reason we get attracted to wellness conversations is because at some point we got so stressed, it jacked up our health, it jacked up our happiness, and all of a sudden we're like, frustrated with life. So we had to build wellness practices into our life and for better coping mechanisms, right? And so that's what we're gonna talk about a little bit here, but maybe in a unique way for you, because I think we have to have a holistic way that we look at stress, just like we've done throughout this course. So I'm gonna ask you to evaluate some areas of your life like usual, give you some tactics and tools to really improve this part of your life. Because if you're living in a state of perpetual stress, we know what that does to you. It does things like, you know, kill you early. It does things like, I don't know, lead to higher rates of divorce. It does things like, I don't know, lead to higher rates of recidivism, where you go back to jail earlier if you're stressed. Like, stress leads to some of the worst behaviors in the human condition. And you and I both know it. I mean, how many times have you been stressed out and you got flippant with your wife or your spouse? How many times have you been stressed where because you were stressed, you forgot to do something really important? How many times when you were stressed, you were like, you did not feel like working out, so you turned to comfort food? How many times have you been stressed and it just absolutely murdered a night of sleep. Like you could not sleep because you were too stressed. You woke up with anxiety and you doubted yourself. It is a poison. And it's a natural part of life too, though, so we better learn how to deal with it because stress is never going to go away. So many people think, well, one day I'll become so successful, I'm not stressed anymore. Like, yes, when you're dead, that's the only time maybe up in heaven, that there's maybe no stress on this earth, on this planet. And in this time, there will always be something. You could be the most extraordinary human on the planet and you'll still feel a level of stress. I was in an audience one time and speaking at an event with the Dalai Lama and, and somebody in the audience asked his Holiness, do you still feel stress? And he gave this great belly, like, jolly hearted laugh, like he was just laughing, like he didn't even have to answer. And everyone knew. Of course. Of course he still feels it. I mean, please imagine if you were, like, pushed away from your home country for most of your adult life and, I don't know, the whole world kind of looked at you as, like, a leader and, I don't know, an entire, like, religion and culture saw you as, I don't know, their idol. Like, it's kind of a pressure situation. Of course he's stressed. Of course. Everyone's stressed people all the time. Brendan, do you get stressed? I'm like, do I breathe? Like, how do we imagine that there are these superhuman souls who don't get stressed? I think we've all been sold this bill of goods. It's a total falsity. It's like, oh, just be a peaceful warrior. Oh, yeah, well, go with that peaceful warrior in war and go ahead and strap a heart rate monitor to them and they'll be peaceful in their mind, but their heart will be going like this. There's physical stress. There's emotional stress. There's, like, esoteric stress. There's, like, existential stress. We're never going to escape every kind of stress. So what can we do? Like, what's the way out? Brendon, in this session, I want to introduce you to three simple ideas that will help you so much that are a little counterintuitive. Now, I know some of them. You know, right? Like, if you're stressed, go do some physical exercise. You're stressed, go do some meditation. But those things, those are what I call, like, relieving practices. But there's also things that are more proactive practices that can prevent how much relieving practices you need. Does it make sense? Like, stress builds up, so you go release it. Doing something. I'll teach you a process for that, too. But there's also some specific things you can do to make sure it doesn't build up as much or in some cases at all in the important areas of your life. So how do we start this discussion today? Well, you see, in my lap, I've had the high performance planner. And you remember in this course I gave you access to the whole life assessment. This worksheet where you look at the 10 major areas of life. Okay, that is, again, a download in this section right here. And I want to make sure you access it because what I'd love for you to do is maybe pause my face and go through this right now and actually look at each of these areas and not just rate yourself like it says, but instead ask, is this area causing Me, stress in my life right now, on a scale of 1 to 10, like my relationship with my partner or my love in my life. Is there stress there? Why is there stress there? And how intense is the stress there? That's what I want you to ask this time. Is there stress? Why is there stress? And how intense is the stress? Feel free to pause my face right now and go through these 10 areas of your life and just ask, is there stress there? Why is there stress? And how intense is is the stress? Pause my face and do that now. Okay. Welcome back. I hope you actually took a moment to do that, because what I've discovered is a lot of people aren't really aware of where their stressors are, why they exist, and how intense they are. So what happens? They kind of explode one day. It's like the stresses are like building up like steam in a pipe. And you can keep ramming that steam in there, but one day it's so intense, it explodes. Have you ever, like, exploded on somebody because of your stress? Like, you freaked out at somebody at work or you found yourself like, you're driving in the car and someone kind of cuts you off and all of a. You freak out and you're like, that's not me. That was the stress. It had just built up. And maybe you were unconscious of it, but it kept building up and building up and building up and leading to a bad behavior. We need to have a practice in our life on a regular basis to evaluate where we're being stressed and why it's happening and what level of intensity it is. In my personal practice, in my life, as you know, I do my high performance planner every Sunday. And you can do the same thing. Print it out or revisit this member's area to do your whole life assessment and just ask those questions. Where am I being stressed and what's causing it? What's going on here? And if you'll do that, Just that awareness of what's causing us stress has been proven in studies to decrease our stress. Isn't that funny? It's just being aware of what it is helps you kind of, like, get clarity. And with clarity comes a little bit of, like, certainty and a little bit more of like, oh, that's what's going on for me. Have you ever had that? We had a couple weird weeks and you're like, that's what's been going on for me. And soon as you know what's been going on, you kind of feel better. Stress is like that. So identify those areas and now, let's talk about three big things you can do that you probably never really thought of that will help deal with it and prevent it. So first, big idea, Expectations. Most of our stress comes from unrealized or unconscious expectations. We wanted it to go like this. It's not going like that. It's frustrating me. It's stressing me out, right? Because when you get everything you want, are you stressed? When everything goes just like the way you anticipated, are you stressed? No. You're like, man, this is great. It's when your expectations fall apart. When you wanted this, it turned out like that. You weren't ready for it, and now you're freaked out.
So what do we have to do?
We've got to learn to better manage the expectations and the important parts of our lives. And that is so critical. So let me give you a way to do that. In every context that you're about to do, in every goal you're about to try to achieve, in every project, you're about to start with your family, at home or at work. What I want you to do is always have a clear conversation about expectations, where you share your expectations and you solicit what other people's expectations are. Going to Disneyland with your hubby and the kids. Okay, what happens? All of you go to Disneyland and no one had a conversation up front, and now the kids want to go. Like, in the moment, the kids are tearing your arm off to go over here, but your son wants to go over there. Your husband's like, I'm hungry. I want to eat. I hate this. And you're like, I hate it too. And you all freak out. You didn't prepare. You didn't take just that literally. That simple thing of like, hey, husband, we're going to Disneyland today. What would you like to experience today? How would you like this to go? Hey, Susie, we're going to Disneyland today. How do you want this to go? Like, what would you love about today? These pre conversations of expectations save misery. Later, people. Don't do it. You get your team together, hey, let's go take on this brand new project. And everyone starts bum rushing the project, but no one said, okay, what's the expectation? What are you supposed to do? What am I supposed to do? What's the deadline? What's the date? Who's in charge of what? And so what ends up happening is this big rat's nest happens. And now there's like, everyone's frustrated. Why are you doing this? Why are you messing with this? Get out of. And now everyone's trying to set boundaries later. Everyone's trying to have the conversations later. The deadlines are missed. Everyone's just completely upset. Why? No pre expectation conversation. You gotta think about whatever you're about to do to do that. And here, let me tell you, the easiest and the most fundamental and the most important area to do this in is in your relationship. If you have a relationship with your significant other, your intimate partner, your lover, your spouse, oh, my gosh, please do this simple thing on Sunday. Look at the week ahead. Sit down with your spouse, your partner, significant other, and just say, hey, honey, here's what I have coming up this week, and here's what I'm kind of hoping for here. What do you have coming up this week? What are you hoping for? Because when you both know the expectations that each other has for the week, you can support each other, you can cheer each other on. And now when the expectations go sideways, you have a little bit of camaraderie. You're like, oh, honey, remember that meeting? I wanted this to happen. It didn't go well. And she's like, yeah, oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry. I know you wanted to go like that. It didn't go well. And you're like, yeah. And now you've got empathy and sympathy and compassion. You have a comrade. As you're trying to achieve things, one reason stress can really overtake our life is because we approach our life solo. We just kind of bumble into things without clear expectations and without a comrade, and now things turn sideways. So I'd sure love for you to think about areas that are stressing you out. And now how do you more explicitly communicate in that area? You heard this last, you know, in our last session, right. Setting boundaries was all about explicit communication, dealing with stress. Same thing. But the bend here, the focus here is expectations. What are your expectations? This also brings up something that's really important. Unrealistic expectations. How many of us want everything to go absolutely perfect, and every time it falls apart, we fall apart. We didn't get what we want, and now we're so stressed, so upset, so angry. And that upset and anger spills out onto the people that we really care about. It's a real problem. And so you got to sit down and have real clear expectations with yourself. And also ask just a simple question. Is this expectation going to help me feel good about life? Is this expectation real in such a way I'm going to feel good about life? Or am I setting myself up for failure right off the bat? Because if you're setting yourself up for failure over and over and over again, no wonder you're so stressed.
Hey all, let me jump into this episode real quick with something I usually don't do, which is kind of like a, I guess they call it a mid roll ad or something. But I decided to do this right now because I'm literally at home working during this coronavirus pandemic and it's really ignited a lot of questions for my community about how do I do that? You know, how am I thinking through my career, how am I thinking through building my personal brand and my online sales during a time in which, yeah, we're home? Like, how does my industry or my career or my approach to it function? And so what I want to let you know is if you did not know, I do have a program for that. It's called the Influencer Business Program. And it's where I'm like teaching you.
This is how I do everything.
I teach you how to grow your personal brand, monetize content, launch campaigns, books, courses, webcast, live webcast subscriptions. I mean, it's about basically how do you grow your audience in online sales faster no matter where you are, no matter if you're starting or not? Because clearly you've seen me do it. Not just with the podcast, but with 300 million video views, 25 multi million dollar online course launches, three New York Times bestsellers, 5 million fans on Facebook. I mean, you've seen the covers of the magazines and the chart topping stuff and the if you're on the email list of millions of email subscribers or you've seen the social media posts from other influencers, joining my masterminds and asking me how I do it all. It's like I've been blessed with all of that and I just feel like maybe this is the time that you learn to build your personal brand, that you finally get yourself up online and making real online sales. Because I've been doing it for 14 years, every day, full time, and I've spent literally tens and tens of millions of dollars on figuring it out, on running ads, on learning which campaigns work, which ones don't, on starting from nothing, pushing every button myself, to finally growing it bigger and bigger and bigger. And people always want to know, what's your marketing strategy? What is the modern thought leader business model that can be built and monetized quickly? How do you tell your story or build credibility? And how do you get people to buy from you or what should you sell, what should you not sell? Or how do you create great content or online curriculum that sells or, you know, what are funnels and launches and how do they work and what should I do first, second and third? And if you had to start over, Brendan, what are the four things you should do or what tools and systems use? How do you get promotional partners? How do you do online challenges? How do you create lifelong fans? I mean, I'm just like literally sitting here thinking this is what I do every day. And if you would like to get a seven day crash course on that and then even live monthly marketing training, for me, that's what we now call my influencer business program. And you can literally just go to influencerbusinessprogram.com and it'll take you to the page to learn about that. Now, it's for serious people only. Obviously you hear me during this, this global sort of shutdown and pandemic with coronavirus, giving away one of my courses with the Wellness Masterclass. But this one's for serious players. There is a charge to it obviously where I go live every single month. And I also give you some of my best online training so that you can get your personal brand growing, grow that audience, make more online sales. So if you're into that type of thing, go to influencer businessprogram.com I mean, that's influencer businessprogram.com altogether. Influencer businessprogram.com and you can learn about the multiple membership levels. I kind of made it affordable. If you want to do a monthly or if you want to take the whole year or you want the advanced pro program, you can learn all about that. Influencer business program.com. my main message to this audience and everyone I'm talking to you right now is if you have not done the work to get yourself online, if you feel like you're falling behind in the digital era, if you don't have recurring revenue every single day with some type of online sales, if you don't get the hint now, you're never going to get the hint. I mean, you need to do that now. In this growing pandemic. I genuinely believe we are going to see such a disruption in the economy in the coming months. And those who have figured out pretty things to grow their, you know, Instagram, but never built the business model, never learn recurring revenue, never learn how to do real launches that bring in the real money that allows them to have the living, they're really going to struggle this year.
We're going to see people who have.
You know, no fans, no audience, no email list, really struggle. But we're also going to see people who have no online sales really struggle. And we're really going to see people who have even millions of fans but who never figured out the monetization completely fall apart. So please go to influencerbusinessprogram.com if you are in this industry or you know, it's time to build your personal brand and get those online sales going because listen, the economy is going to be really difficult. But also more importantly than that, listen, it's time to share your voice, to lead, to be a role model, to share your expertise, your life wisdom, your perspective about things with more people. Because we need more leaders out there sharing positive messages of hope, of strength, of optimism for the future because we will make it through this and it will be the influencers and the voices out there sharing our thoughts, our wisdom and our advice that will help carry and set the tone towards a better Future. Influencer Business Program.com. we'd love to see you in that program. Influencer business program.com with that, let's jump back into the wellness masterclass.
Okay, so the first idea, clear expectations. Have the pre con conversations before you go in the meetings with the teams, with your spouse, everybody clear expectations. That decreases stress later on. Number two, let's think about number two as a physiological approach to dealing with stress. So number one was kind of like psychological. I'm getting clear about expectations. Number two is more physiological. And what I'd love to introduce you to is this concept of dealing with stress called the release meditation technique. Okay. If you haven't heard about rmt, it stands for release meditation technique. So RMT is a way of releasing stress in your life. Okay. And it's just a simple sort of mantra based meditation. I've been doing it, you know, 15 years maybe, something like that. And what I do is several times throughout the day for me, usually it's about three times throughout the day. I'll push back from my computer or I'll excuse myself from that meeting or, or I'll take a minute to myself and I'll close my eyes. And I do two things in the release meditation technique. Number one is I try to release the tension in my body. So I might sit down, might lay down, I'll close my eyes and I just focus for a minute or two of releasing the tension in my legs, my feet, in my hips, in my stomach, in my shoulders, my arms, my neck, in my eyes, in my brows and I'll just try to release a little bit of tension. Second thing, I Do is I try to release thoughts. So that's what takes me to traditional meditation is where I go into a mantra based meditation. And for me the mantra is literally the word release. So I close my eyes and I repeat to myself, release, release, release, release. And as I'm saying the word release, my intention in that moment is to release that tension in my body and to release the thoughts that are coming up. And as more thoughts come up, I just let them fly by by returning to my mantra release. And I do that over and over and over again. Sometimes I do it two minutes, sometimes it's 10 minutes, sometimes it's 20 minutes. On my A game. Like the days I know I'm like the best of who I am, I, I do two 20 minute sessions of release meditation. Now I'll be totally honest with everybody and I know you have your own wellness practices too, that maybe you're not always consistent about as you want to be. I always get one 20 minute session in and maybe 40% of the time get two in. But what I can track is the 40% of the time when I get two in, I feel better the next day. Because stress is something that accumulates, right? It just builds and it builds and it builds and it's like, ah. So you need a consistent process of releasing that tension. One thing I teach a lot of my high level, highly creative people is I say here's what I love you to do. I love for you between every activity, let's say you're doing email and now you need to create a keynote or a PowerPoint presentation between every major activity. I want you to push away from the desk, close your eyes, do the release meditation for two minutes. Just release, release, release. And then before you open your eyes, set an intention for how you want to do the next thing. Well, because here's what that does, is a lot of our stress is carrying over from previous activities, right? Your 3 o' clock stress isn't really just because what happens in 3 o', clock, your 3 o' clock stress is the accumulation of, of 10am, 11 noon, 170 emails, 40 DMs, 4 phone calls, kids screaming. That's what's building up at that 3:00'. Clock. And so once you realize, wow, stress is an accumulation, you go, you know what? Then several times throughout the day, I'd better be dumping it. Let it go, release it. And that is the ultimate spiritual practice. We think one day we're gonna, you know, one day we're gonna go on top of the mountain and meditate. For 10 days. And that's gonna release everything? No, because we're gonna go back down, back into the valley, back into the hard work, back into the challenge, back into the suffering, back into the obligations. And Monday is gonna hit and we'll feel stressed again. Cause it builds. The ultimate spiritual practice is learning to release tension several times throughout the day. Tension mentally, tension emotionally, tension physically. Is that consistent release throughout the day? Not just once, not just one 20 minute thing, Brendon, but several times throughout the day. That actually frees you. And so that's why I like to tell people do it between activities. I do that all the time. I might, let's say maybe I'm writing one of my books. I've been working on that for an hour, two, three. But now I need to do some phone calls. Before I do those phone calls. I might sit up, stand, bounce in place a couple times, close my eyes, bounce in place, take 10 deep breaths, sit down, repeat the word release to myself several times and then ask, how do I want these phone conversations to go? What's my expectation going into these phone conversations? Oh, yeah, this is what I'm after. Let me make sure I clearly communicate that. Okay, good. And it's that break in between activities that gives you sanity. When you feel like you're losing your mind. You know why? No break. Isn't it true you feel like you're kind of losing your mind because there was no break. You did 79 activities with no break. And you're about to lose it. The pipe is building up, ready to burst. So release meditations, release techniques throughout several activities throughout the day. Okay, that's the second big idea. First idea, clear expectations. Second idea, release activities, whatever that has to be for you several times throughout the day or in between activities. And then the third big release is the release of feeling like you have to do it all yourself. At the top of this session, I was talking about the power of having a comrade. And it's nice to feel that when you have that with somebody, things feel good. This piece is about getting really strategic in one area. That is, I want you right now to identify what is the biggest outstanding dream or ambition you still have in your life. Like, what is that next big thing you so want, you so desire? You still want to climb up and achieve? Like, what's that next thing, the next big thing? Because here's why the last big thing was so hard. You went at it too alone. You thought you had to figure it out. You had to push all the buttons. You had to Manage all the people you had to earn, all the money you had to take, all the responsibilities you had to do everything. That's why that climb was so dang long and so dang hard. This time you're going to take that track and say, that's what I want. And I want you to immediately, immediately structure it so you have support from day one. For some of you, that means today you can go on the Internet and you're going to hire your very first virtual assistant. For some of you that's going to go home. You're going to go home and say, honey, I know we want to go here. I need your help. So you're going to do these activities and I'm going to do these activities. Does that sound smart? How should we divvy this up? And you're going to divvy it up right off the bat, not wait to do it. That might mean you go into your team and, and say, team, I need to delegate 40% of my activities right now to you. And I need to know that you got it. Here's your quarterly goal. Here's your quarterly goal. Here's your quarterly goal. But you need to structure up the support for this next climb because you know what? In advance. When you know you have support on the climb, you are way less stressed when you feel like you have to do it all yourself, my friend. That creates an existential, esoteric stress that can't even be measured. And feeling alone on the path of purpose is suffering. Feeling alone, even if you're doing good things, doesn't feel good. We're talking about wellness here. We're talking about your well being. And we can't achieve it without social support. But you need to structure it and you need to do it and you need to do it now. I hope you've enjoyed this session. This one I'm super pumped to see your comments on because I know it brings up a lot for people. Right. Cause stress is challenging. Of course. And don't worry, I will be talking about very important physiological things. Sleep, nutrition, environment. We'll talk about that in future sessions. In this one, three big ideas that most people miss. Clear expectations. Very, very, very explicit clear expectations. The idea of making sure that you have social support along the way. The idea of knowing that you like, don't have to go at this alone. Alone can release that stress. And, and if that doesn't do it for you, I gave you the release meditation technique that will really serve you. Try tonight. Give yourself 15 minutes. Sit down in your most Comfortable chair. Close your eyes and repeat the word release to yourself. Set a 15 minute timer and see how magical that feels. Afterwards, you can find and create more peace in your life. It will protect your well being and it will ensure your overall positive wellness. Thanks for tuning in this session. Can't wait to see your comments and see you in the next session.

Hey my friend, I'm jumping in here with one last message to you that we bolted on here to this Wellness Masterclass because it just, it's just timing.

How do you grow your personal brand? How do you create and monetize content? What should you do doing with live casts or launches or subscriptions right now? How do you grow your audience and online sales faster? We have three different member levels and I'm here to tell you, as you are certainly listening to my voice right at this moment, why can't that be your voice? Why can't you be the person sharing positivity, hope, guidance, strength, optimism out in the world right now so that we can help people face the chaos with a little bit more confidence, with a little bit more authenticity and vulnerability, but also personal power? Why can't you take anything you've learned in your whole life about career or business or wellness or health or just living a good life, being a good parent, you know, chasing your dreams? Why can't you take that advice? Structure it, build a personal brand around it, build some online digital content around it, sell it, get recurring revenue and build something that not only carries you through with digital sales through this scary economy, but more importantly sets you up to share your voice and make a difference at a time when it matters more than ever.
