Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. What's up, everybody, and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex, and today we going to be tackling a critical topic. How to protect your mindset in a high stress world. Look, we live in a time where stress is coming at us from every angle. Work, social media, relationships.

If you don't guard your mindset, it'll get eaten alive and that'll cripple your ability to win in life and in business. So let's talk about how you can protect your mental game like it's the most valuable asset and because it is. First control your inputs garbage in garbage out. It's that simple. If you're consistently consuming negativity, whether it's the news, toxic people, or even your self doubt, you're setting yourself up for failure.

I learned this early on when I transitioned from law enforcement to entrepreneurship. The pressure was high, but I chose to surround myself with positivity, books, mentors, podcasts, and people who actually believed in leveling up. If you don't guard what goes into your mind, you can't expect greatness to come out of it. Second, focus on what you can control. Stress skyrockets when you obsess over things you can't change. Newsflash, make sure to check out my YouTube channel,

What you can control is your effort, your discipline, and your reaction to challenges. When I was building my businesses, there were setbacks left to right. Instead of spiraling, I locked myself in on what I can fix,

and I kept moving forward. Action beats anxiety every single time. Lastly, you gotta protect your energy. It's super important. This means cutting out the people, the situations that drain you. Not everyone deserves access to your time or your thoughts. Stay laser focused on your goals

and you gotta surround yourself with people who lift you up, not drag you down. You're the average of the five people that you spend the most time with and you gotta choose wisely. So what's the bottom line here? Your mindset is your greatest weapon in a high stress world.

You gotta guard it fiercely, you gotta feed it positively, and keep it focused on what truly matters. So thanks for tuning up to Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex reminding you that a strong mindset isn't built by chance, it's built by choice. Protect it, strengthen it, and as always, let's level up. Thanks for listening up to Level Up Podcast.
