Workout: Energize Yourself

We all hope to have happiness, to have kindness, compassion, love, energy. And it's like, no, no, it doesn't work like that. Like a power plant doesn't have energy. It generates energy. See, what a power plant does is it takes energy from one source. Rushing water, spinning turbines, windmill, nuclear, whatever it is, it takes energy from one source. And what it basically does, it takes from that source and transforms it into a higher source and then transmits it. That's what a power plant is doing. It is transforming and generating a new, higher level of energy. So for those who go, oh, my partner is such a jerk, my team at work, oh, they're so negative. They're so awful. I am here to tell you, guess what? Okay, so your job is take that low level of energy and convert it into a higher level of energy. Who's an entrepreneur in this room here? You ever heard that definition of entrepreneurs? They. They take one level of value and they one plus it into a higher level of value. And that's why they get paid so much. It's about taking value and amplifying. Well, energy is that way too. But what we do is we blame, Ah, my energy is this way. Because, listen, if you saw my schedule the last six months, you would cry for me Argentina. Because everything over the last couple months, you'd be like, oh, that's not possible. It's because I don't hope to have energy. I generate energy. We can all generate energy on command. You did it this morning, remember when I had you stand up and I just had you speed up your mind? Who liked that this morning? You got to use your mind for energy way more often. But you can use your body too. Watch. Put yourself down. Stand up. Let's try something. So as you're standing, all I want you to do, bounce in place. Close your eyes, swing your arms, take 10 deep breaths. We're gonna do two activities now. Take 10 deep breaths. A deep breath means your neighbor can hear you. You breathe in through your nose. Your stomach comes out. You breathe out through your mouth. Breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth. Bounce in place. Swing those arms. Deep breath in. Deep breath out. Good. Deep breath in. Deep breath out. You're doing good. Deep breath in. Deep breath out. Okay, good. Now we're just getting warmed up. Now here's what I want you to do. We're going to do an activity called jigong. Very simple. We're going to open up the meridians of your body. If you don't believe in eastern arts like meridian of your body, then in science, there's things called nerve cells, and they're on your skin, and when you activate them, you feel differently. And when you move your body or your skin around, you move the lymph, which also gets things generating. And if you move your body, you also activate your lung system. So, hey, guess what? Call it meridians or call it science. Here we go. What we're going to do is take an active within. A nice deep breath out. Now, for those who have never done this before, this is going to be super weird. So if you thought it was going to get weird, this is the part you take your hands like this. In qigong, it's called cupping. Because you're cupping, you're making cup out of your hands. And what we're going to do is we're going to start at our lower left ankle and we're basically going to pat called cupping. And we're going to move up our leg like half an inch at a time. And then we're gonna do our right leg, then we're gonna do our hands, then our sides and then our back. If this sounds crazy, wait till you see how you feel. Hpx, are you ready? Are you ready? Okay, here we go. Left leg. Starting at the ankle. Let's see how you do. Cup your hands. And the idea put positive intention and energy in. This is an act of love. Coming up around. Now you're patting your buttock. Your buttocks are okay. Good, good. Set it down. Breathe. Feel better already? We haven't started. Next leg. Let's go. You're doing great. Good job. Good job. You guys have it totally unfair. You have chairs. Here we go. Reaching around. Good. Nice and strong on that hamstring. Harder on the hamstring. Good, good. Set it down. Breathe, breathe. Nose. Breathe in through the nose. Good. Stick that left arm out. Let's go. Fingertips. All my students know I do this every 15 minutes, including if I'm on a plane in the bathro, the things they think are happening. Okay, shoulder is down. Strong on the shoulder. Nice and strong on the shoulder. Good. Release that shoulder. Breathe, breathe. Good. Fingertips next side. Let's go. You're doing great. The hotel is wondering what the hell we're doing in here right now. What happens to these Richard events? Set that shoulder down. Release that shoulder. Nice and strong in the shoulder. Breathe. Ah, Breathe. Good. Now we're going to bend slightly at the waist and on our lower back. From here, take 10 deep breaths. That's 1. 2. Keep breathing. 3. Keep breathing. 4. 5. Doing great. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Stand, bounce. Shake out those arms. Shake out those arms. Shake out those arms. Shake out those arms. Okay, now just stand and march. Just real lightly and notice the energy around your body. Now just kind of sway side to side. Just notice the energy. Oh, yes. Keep breathing. That's good. Keep breathing, keep breathing. Okay, now keep breathing. As you're swaying, close your eyes and I want you to refresh your mind just like we did this morning. Maybe you speed it up. Maybe you're suddenly your Einstein and your brain is going faster or you see fireworks or you're readying your body to run, leap, jump, take off, serve, command. You feel strength in your body. Your mind is revving up, though. It's getting clear. It's getting exc. Getting back into this room to be present to transform your life for other people, that you're gonna do something for yourself here to serve other people. It feels good. Your mind is revving up, baby. You're feeling it. You're feeling it. Take another notch up. Put his big old smile on your face with your eyes closed. Just breathe. Oh, yeah. Okay, open up your eyes and look around to all the beautiful, vibrant people around you. Give yourselves a round of applause.
