How to Master Your Mindset During a Crisis

Hey, this is Jesse Ecker, and I want to welcome you to the Millionaire Mindset in Times of Crisis series. Listen, I don't really want to be making these videos right now because what that means is that we're in a crisis, we're in a health crisis, we're in a emotional mental crisis, we're in a financial crisis. But it's our duty, it's our mission, it's our service to give you what you need to support you in times like this, to support you financially, emotionally, mentally, and also give you the typ can trust to follow. That's going to be more inspirational, more positive, more actionable so that you can get through this. Not just get through it and suffer through it, but get through it and thrive. When this is done, it's our goal to give you exactly the steps necessary, tangibly, so that you can go like this through the crisis and then go up versus down, which is what most people are doing. Most people are taking a backseat to this approach to this crisis. Most people are taking a wait and see and let's see what happens. But the most wealthy people I know, the most successful people I know are doubling down on what they're doing. They're investing more in their time and their money. They have a very different mindset than most people because this is the time that they thrive. This is the time where they get in front of what's going on and they beat their competition. And by the end of it, they're the leaders, they're the market leaders. They're the ones that the people want to listen to. And we want to give you the advice and guidance to make sure that you are as well. Remember, our rules are simply to listen to, study, to learn and model what successful people are doing. And this is what successful people are doing. They're taking action now. They're not waiting and seeing. So today's issue is really, really important. It's called, you know, accepting what is and utilizing it. Listen, the crisis is here. We need to accept it. We can't dismiss it anymore. We can't dismiss that this is something that's not worldwide, a big situation for all of us. So we need to accept it. And the best way to accept it is by utilizing it, utilizing what has come from it. The. The practice of, you know, understanding that it's here and we have choices to make. We can choose to be negative. We can choose to be fearful. We could choose to be, you know, uncertain, or we can choose to look at the bright side, look at the positive Side, change our perspective around it, look at it for different opportunities. We have the choice in how we show up for not just ourselves, our family, our friends, our community. And we have a choice of are we going to show up in our worst possible way or the best possible way. I know if you're watching this video right now, you want to show up the best self you can. You want to come out of this thriving, not suffering, right? So today is understanding that we need to accept what is and utilize it or we're going to suffer, we're going to drown in this crisis instead of thrive in the crisis. Listen, I'm not asking you to make radical changes into your life. I'm asking you to take a deep breath and take a step into awareness and understand how are you showing up. And understand that your showing up is affecting other people in your life. It's affecting. Now you have. If you have kids and they're at home with you, how you're showing up is going to affect them and your family. And if you're by yourself, this is a big time to take reflection of how you're showing up for yourself. Right? So number one is really accepting, not dismissing. Number two is figuring out how do we utilize this situation to practice and find opportunities within what we're doing, Right? So here's the thing. We can only control a certain, certain amount of things. The only things that we actually have control over are our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions. Everything else is external. Everything else is external. So our practice, our way of utilizing what is. And what we can do is really by controlling our thoughts, our feelings and our actions. And that's what I want you to be practicing today is how do I become aware of my thoughts and how do I become aware of my feelings and how can I control my actions to support me and be useful for me versus, you know, unsupportive, not, not supporting to where I want to go. All right, So I want you to be constantly thinking about if it's up to me, it's meant to be, and I have to make it work whatever way I need to do. Okay? So we need to control our thoughts, our feelings and actions. The way we control those is by becoming aware of it. Listen, if you're fearful, that just means you're consuming fear. Your mind is, is. Is consuming fear, which means that you're probably listening to the news, you're probably have a lot of Facebook or social media that you're consuming a lot. You're consuming different fear. Now, I'm not Telling you to ignore it, just telling you that you shouldn't let it consume you. You should be informed, but don't let it consume your life. You have a choice on what you do. You know, consume it at a very little level so that you can stay informed, stay in front of it, and get the most important information and then move on from it. Right. Let it go. All right. So it's really important that we understand that this is a very uncertain time. But I also want to remind you that life is uncertain. We don't know what's going to happen in the next hour, the next day, the next month, the next year. The only thing that is really apparent right now is we have this big thing happening that's causing a search situation that's now creating more uncertainty for what the future holds. But what the positive about that is, is now that we kind of know what's stopping us. You know, other before, we wouldn't have any idea. These things would come up and we'd have to react or proactively make decisions. Here we actually know what's stopping us and the restrictions that are starting to come in place, this is something we would never know. So what's good about this is we can start to craft scenarios and different plans to get around the uncertainty that we know we have. We get around the situations and circumstances that are stopping us and restricting us right now. So I want you to be thinking of that. I want you to be thinking proactively and saying, listen, I understand things are uncertain. I understand we might have doubt of when we may get out of quarantine or not be able to do the things that we're used to doing. I understand that there's no timeline at the specific moment, but what that does is it gives you at least an idea of, okay, what do I need to do in the next 30, 60, 90 days if things stay the same? How am I going to financially make it? How am I going to keep my health up and emotionally, how am I going to give myself positivity and inspiration on an ongoing basis so that I can keep things up and so I keep the level that I want and show up the best way possible. Remember, it's really important that we proactively plan and not react to every situation that's happening. Right. So it's important that we're in the proactive state now and we're taking control of what we can control. I heard this from Mary Morrissey and I really, really liked it. And I wanted to share with you. It's really important that we hold the vision, but not the circumstance. So hold the vision, not the circumstance. So the circumstance is we have this coronavirus going on. There's quarantine happening. You know, there's restrictions in place, but the vision of what you want your life to be should still be there. So the question is, how are you going to create that life still? How are you going to succeed in business still? How are you going to succeed financially still? How are you going to have a great relationship? How are you going to show up to be your best self? That's what I want you to be thinking about, and that's what I want you to be answering today. I want you to inspire yourself. I want you to show up for yourself. I want you to be the best possible person you can be today by controlling your thoughts, feelings, and actions. So, simply put, it's important to look at what's happening right now and understand that we control the perception that we decide we want to have. If we decide that this is a bad situation, well, guess what? It's a bad situation. It's a negative situation. If we decide that this situation is just a situation, we can make the best out of it and we can find the positives in it. We can find the positives in anything. Anything that happens, then guess what? We will. So today I want you to start focusing and remembering that we can find the positives if we look for it. So I want you to do me a favor and do our community a favor. Listen, we're all in this together. The stronger we are together, the. The more inspired will be, the more community we'll be, the more we'll help each other and support each other. So what I want you to do to help all of us out is comment below with what's 1 or 2 or 3 of the most positive things that you have found going through this situation right now? What are some positives that have either come from it or that you felt or that have happened? For me, example would be, you know, a positive is that I get to take a little more extra time to spend time with my family. You know, I'm not going out to meetings. I'm not working outside of the house. I get to spend more quality time with the people that I truly love. I get to spend some more time with my partner. I live in Los Angeles, so there's not traffic right now. And the air is super crisp. And it's beautiful. Beautiful. Oh, it's quieter. I get to slow down for a little bit. We get to save money, not going to restaurants, we get to save money, not traveling. Is that negative that we're not going to the restaurants or traveling? Well, again, it's your perception that makes that up. So you decide what's positive and negative. You're the one who's putting the feeling with the circumstance attached to it. So the circumstances, we're in quarantine, we have a situation, people are getting sick, right? You're deciding what comes next. What's your thought process around that? What's your feelings around that? You're the one who decides what's positive and negative in a situation. Alright, of course the circumstances. We don't want this to be happening. We want people to be healthy. We want to save lives. But we can't control all of that. All we can control is what we're thinking, what we're feeling and how we're acting. So today I want you to do us a favor as a community. Put into the comments below what are some positives that have come from this?
