You think that maybe you are lazy. You think that you're a procrastinator. You think that you're not smart enough. You think that you don't have the network. You think you don't have the time. You think because you have kids you can't do it. There is a story that you are telling yourself that has to change because a belief is just a thought that you keep thinking until. Until you replace it with a new thought. Hey, everyone, welcome back to the show. It's time for another quickie because there's always time to fit in inspiration. And I am currently at my workspace in Newport Beach. So if you hear, I don't know, maybe some random clinking of dishes in the background or a dog barking, that is because I am in a room in my workspace. But it's noisy. It's like there's energy here, there's people here. So welcome, welcome to the show and welcome to the workspace. I absolutely have been thriving working amongst the energy of people. And maybe that is your sign right now. If you're someone who's sitting at home banging their head against the wall going, this is depressing. I don't like working alone like this all the time. Maybe switch it up. Go find an environment that serves you, that fuels you, that helps you just feel better about yourself and your day. So I wanted to take a minute to have you tap into some awareness. And I just got off of a podcast with Dr. Josh Axe, who is a really well known huge wellness personality. He's also created incredibly large companies that were making a hundred million dollars a year. He has had a lot of his products in stores and he has been a trailblazer in the wellness space. And we actually ended up talking a ton about personal development, actually mostly all personal development. And he said some of the most successful people all have incredible awareness of who they are and what their weaknesses are and of what they need to work on. And this made me really think of the reminder of what are the stories that we're telling ourself right now. What are the things that are still holding you back that are in your awareness or maybe they're not in your awareness yet, but we know that the more awareness you have, the more free you will feel and the more successful you will become. So the awareness of what is that limiting belief that you still have? What is that thing that you have on repeat, that thought that you have on repeat? And I have been listening to a lot of Gabby Bernstein lately and she has been talking about the Abrahams, because she loves to listen to them all about manifesting. And they say a belief is just a thought that you keep thinking. A belief is just a thought that you keep thinking. So what is that thing that you keep on thinking that you are making a belief that you believe to be true about yourself or about your life? Right now there's probably a goal that you have that if you can't tap into this yet, let me help you tap into it real quick. I want you to think of a really big goal that you have or something that you would love to do, but you have put yourself on the bench, meaning you have taken yourself out of the game because of this one thing in your life. You think that maybe you are lazy. You think that you're a procrastinator. You think that you're not smart enough. You think that you don't have the network. You think you don't have the time. You think because you have kids you can't do it. There is a story that you are telling yourself that has to change. Because a belief is just a thought that you keep thinking until. Until you replace it with a new thought. And here's where most people go wrong. They think that if they just stop thinking it, it's going to go away. No, a thought never just stops. A thought needs to be replaced with another thought. So now your work is to find out what that thought is that need to be replaced. Write it down or say it out loud right now. And then I want you to replace it with a thought that would actually move you forward instead of, so if it's I can't lose weight because I'm lazy, or I can't get to the gym, or I'm not a fit person, or I make bad choices, when you hear that thought, you say, nope, I forgive this thought and you replace it with a new thought. So no. I am a person who can make themselves go to the gym, even if it's for 10 minutes. I am a person who can start new things. I am a person who can follow through with one promise for themselves today. And this is the promise, because right as I'm saying that what's going to happen in your brain, you're going to go to a place where you start to think of how you can make that happen, where you start to think of how you can schedule that thing. And until we start to replace that thought, you're still going to take the same old actions. If you have the old thought in your head and you haven't kicked it out of bed, right? You literally have to say, nope, I forgive this thought and replace it with the new thought. This may seem cheesy to you, this may seem corny to you, but I have done enough interviews now with enough successful people to know that this is exactly what they do. Maybe they say it in their own way, but this is exactly what you do. You actually have to replace that old identity with a new sentence, even if you don't believe it yet, that old belief with a new sentence. And what is the belief that you're holding about yourself and about the thing? Because there's the quote from Wayne Dyer. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. So are you looking at something from the perspective of the old you instead of this new thought or the new you? Because the more that you look at it from your past, the more you're going to create more of what you had in the past. If you want to look at it in a new way and get the new actions that you should take, it's only going to work if you're looking at it from the new you, which is the one that holds this different belief, which is the one that holds a new belief.
Because if a belief is just a.
Thought that you keep thinking, then if you keep thinking this new thought, it becomes your belief. And we all know that beliefs make up our identity, and so what we believe is who we become. So it's simple. Doesn't mean it's easy, but it is simple. And I want you to look at that story that you're telling yourself right now and write down the new sentence right now and catch yourself whenever that happens. Today, and then try it again tomorrow, and then try it again next week. And then I promise you, if you try this again in 30 days, I guarantee that you will have introduced something new into your schedule that will actually move the needle. Because you will have been thinking from a person who's fit. You will have been thinking from a person who's resourceful. You will have been thinking and planning your schedule from a person who believes that they can, rather than a person who already benches themselves. Because I will tell you what, a person who is already on the bench does nothing. They do nothing. They do more of what they've always done to get more of what they've always gotten. So, you guys, it's just tricking the system. That's it. It's just manipulating the system. This is not some secret, crazy thing. Someone does not have more energy than you. Someone does not have more motivation than you. They simply do this more frequently. That's it. They just know that their brain is one big made up mess by other people and it's our job to unwind it and figure it out. And figure it out out how to reprogram it with these new thoughts. That's all it is. And it starts really, really small and it takes a lot of time. But would you rather wake up in 10 years knowing that you did this and you got better or would you rather be in a worse place than you are today? Because those are the only two choices. There's no middle of the road anymore, you guys. That's one thing that I want to share with you. If you're in the middle of the road right now and you're like, I'll just keep going. Same old same old. Doing same old same old doesn't make you better. It actually makes you worse. It gets more of what you have, which is probably not what you want. So in the end you just have more things that you don't want that have accumulated through the years to equal a big pile of things you don't want. So it actually only gets worse.

I'm like uncomfortable even asking it.
