3 Ways to Reset Your Mindset and Energy

You know, every now and then, I don't care what year or what quarter or what segment of your life you're in, there's a really good way to reset yourself. Because if you're not feeling like energetically or financially or whatever it is that you're in the mode, like you're flowing, your energy's in the right direction, you feel successful. There's 3 ways to sort of get out of that. I'll say 3 ways to get out of a bit of a challenge or a funk, because if you're not feeling that, then something's messing you up and I'll call it a funk, right? And these are also good ways for you to break what's called anxiety or worry too, right? So just 3 things. The first step is identify the issue, right? This might seem so basic, but identify the issue. So actual or it's an actual issue or it's a past issue that's creeping in or it's some insecurity. Like in, in my case, from 2008 with the, with the crash to 2012, there was like, yeah, there was some true stuff from the past. Yeah. But there was also insecurity around what happened. Right. And I was blaming myself for the, for the market crash, for example. So that, that caused insecurity, that caused anxiety and recognizing it and realizing that it's complete bullshit. It doesn't affect you going forward. Is super important. So number one, identify what the issue is. And if you're having trouble with this in the time where you're sitting down trying to do a reset, reach out to a mentor or a coach or a trusted friend or a trusted entrepreneur to do this with, whether you're in our community or not. This is stuff that we end up doing in our community nonstop. Like I say this all the time, I wish for you, for everyone in our community, that it was easy as Hey, here are the skill sets you need to crank out 3 paydays on every deal. There you go. Yeah, that's great. But then it's all this other stuff that comes into play. And I know because it took me off the beaten path, off the, off the improvement train for a whole 4 years. It's just not necessary. So let's identify right away for you. Number 2, write down what's, say, magnificent or outstanding in your life right now. Now, for me, I don't have my journal right here. I'd grab it for you. I started doing 4 or 5, then up to 9, then up to 10 items of gratitude every single day. And what I would do is I'd write day number 1 of gratitude, day number 2. I have to do that every morning. And if I missed one day, I went back to day 1. As of the time of this recording, I'm on day 285. I think it is 285 of not missing one day. Now that becomes— it's just a new habit, right? So step 2 for you to reset this is after you identify what the heck is causing the anxiety or the issue is to start writing down what's absolutely magnificent in your life right now. If you're healthy, that's magnificent. If you have a credit card that has a zero balance or a house that has a zero balance, that's magnificent. I'm just bringing that like anything. If it's sunny out, if you have a great view out your window, whatever it is, right? Write these things down. Whatever's magnificent. Now, number three is this is interesting. This takes practice too. This is all like working out, guys. Look to the future. Now, with the high six group, one of the groups I coach, I said, "Look out five years," right? But whatever it is that you pick, could be five, could be ten. What is the ideal for you when you look out five or so years? What is the ideal? Now, your brain will say, "No, no, no," and and it's just. Like, liken this to working out. It sucks the first day and then the second day and the third, and then soon enough it becomes total habit. Like the daily gratitude journal for me is, it's like working out. If I don't do it, I literally feel naked. Like, oh, I can't start my day. Like things are off. So look to the future for yourself. Do this exercise. I don't have anything holding me back. I don't have anyone in my ear barking the wrong things. I don't have any debt. Just pretend for a second. So you can look to the 5-year picture and literally craft it. Now, those are the 3 steps, guys, for sort of a reset. I would tell you to do this often. And the difference between those of you who will take action on this and those of you who won't will be the difference maker for this year. And I don't care when you're seeing this. I'm filming this in the beginning of 2026, February, actually on my birthday. And so it gave me a time to reset. That's why I thought about doing this for Motivational Monday. And I will tell you that that'll be the difference. It'll be the difference. It'll be the difference between the pro and the amateur. Look, we just came off of the Olympics, right? There's a big difference on what they did daily and the disciplines and the things they had to go through and the struggles in this reset here, identifying the issue, write down what's magnificent and looking to frame the future. Do you think they do that much? They do it all the time. And that then became the difference between The gold medal and no medal, and I'm calling it the pro and the amateur. Super important. So here's the question for you guys, and I'll wrap up on this. I could keep going on this riff. Do you want to be a pro or do you want to be an amateur? The good news is it's your choice. Isn't that cool? Like, it's your choice. We can help you get there if you choose us. I don't care what you choose. I'm not so naive to think we're the only ones that can show you how to do this. But I will tell you that I would love to do it with you. Please subscribe. I invite you to subscribe to the channel because You get these Motivational Mondays every week. We've been doing these for, I don't know, 7 or 8 years now without missing one. You get the Q&A Thursdays and you get the Deal Structure Sundays. Why do we do that? Because this gets the mindset in the right space. As an entrepreneur, you're going to need it. Trust me, if things are good now, you will have life challenges and business challenges. And then the Q&A lets you understand that, hey, my questions are normal. Like I'm seeing all these other students ask these questions and people in the community, that's where we get them. They don't just make up the Q&A. Not sure where to get started? Go to smartrealestatecoach.com/getgoing for free books, strategy calls, and a whole bunch more. We're going to help you get going the wicked smart way. We've been after this for over a decade doing exactly that. And then the Deal Structure Sundays let you put it all together and go, ah, you mean I can eke out of my real estate deals 3 paydays, which are going to be worth somewhere between $45,000 and $350,000 per deal? Think about that per deal, guys, all while helping sellers get out of a challenge that they're in or helping them accomplish a goal that the market can't help them accomplish. In the case of someone that's free and clear, they're not in a challenge, they're in debt. They're trying to create something or realize something or get a price the market's not giving them. That's why we structured these 3 video series on Monday, Sunday, Monday, and Thursday for you. So please subscribe. And if you think you know someone sort of in a funk right now, share this one with them and let them subscribe so we can help them. Guys, look forward to seeing you on the next Motivational Monday. Make it an outstanding week and choose to be a pro versus an amateur.
