Welcome to today's episode of the Mindset Mentor podcast. If you have not yet done so, hit that subscribe button so that you never miss another episode. Today, I'm going to be talking about, man, heavy feelings. I feel like if you're a human and you've been alive the past week and I don't know if paying attention to anything, it's been a heavy week. And when I say heavy week, realize I don't mean that it's been a terrible week and that, you know, people have been down in the dumps and depressed and all of that stuff. I mean heavy just in the fact that I feel like a lot of the world is going through emotional clearing that needs to be going through. You know, I, I've been feeling heavy the past few days. I was talking with my girlfriend about it

and, uh, I feel like the past week, it's just been like something heavy, like the energy. It's like palpable. I don't even know how to explain it, but it's just this heaviness that's been weighing on me. I feel like it's surrounding me. I feel like it's bringing my energy down. And I want to say this first off, if you feel this way, it's okay. It's okay to feel this way. There's nothing wrong with it. You know, one of the things that I find with people is that when you feel something that feels foreign to you, the automatic thing that we pop up is there must be something wrong with me. There's nothing wrong with you. You're a human. It's okay to feel feelings. And I want to tell this to you guys first, before we dive into it, the world is not getting darker. The world is not getting darker. It is the darkness of our world being pushed up to the surface so that people who are the light can help clear it out. So it's

always been there, but what's happening is it's kind of like if you've ever had something come into your body, like, you know, your body will reject certain things. So if you've ever had like a splinter, sometimes you get a splinter and the splinter goes into your, your skin and your body will eventually cover it up. Like sometimes you can't get a splinter out and eventually cover it up with skin. And then it will actually push it out when it's a foreign substance that doesn't need to be in your body. I feel like the darkness is like that splinter that's been under the skin. Now it's being pushed to the surface so that everyone who is light leaders, helpers, givers,

lovers in this world can help push it out. And that's what I feel like what's going on right now. I feel like there is a massive shift in human consciousness. And so the first thing that I think is what can I do? What can you do? What can we do collectively to help shift this human consciousness into be the best leaders that we can possibly be? There's two things I'm going to talk about. Number one, I'm going to talk about yourself, what you can do for yourself, not from a jealous or not jealous, not from a narcissistic or selfish perspective, but what can you do for yourself so that therefore you can go into number two, which is what we can do for others. So number one, let's talk about what you can do for yourself.

Right now, the world needs leaders. That is very, very clear. The world needs leaders. And the worst thing that we could do right now is if you feel in some sort of way, like you are a leader, the worst thing that you could do right now is not step into that version of yourself that you feel like you are or should be. What do I mean by leaders? Whether that's a positive leader where you just need to post more positive stuff and help people see that there's beauty in the world. Help people maybe with their mindset. Help people in any way that you possibly can. How can you be a positive leader, a person that is seen as a light in the darkness? How can you be a positive leader? How can you spread more love to other

people? What do you need to do to spread more love? If you're the type of person where maybe, maybe you think that you want to be more positive, put more positive out there. Maybe you feel like you want to love on people more. Maybe you feel like, you know what? You want to start going into protests and you want to go to marches and maybe you want to lead them. Well, that's great. But first off, before you go do those things, like I a hundred percent think whatever you feel like you're supposed to step into is what you're supposed to step into. One of the worst things that you could do is watch what other people are doing and think that's what you're supposed to do. Everybody's role in their life is different. It's about discovering what your role is and stepping into that role.

But here's the reason why I say yourself is the most important thing that you need to focus on. Because if you want to be a leader, you can only lead people at the capacity that is your fullest capacity. So the number one thing that I think people should be focusing on right now is actually themselves. And I don't mean don't focus on helping other people, but I mean this, the stronger that you are, the more that you can help and lift other people. Think about this for a second. If you go to the gym and go to the gym and go to the gym and you get really big and get the biggest muscle you possibly can, you can then carry more people. You can carry more weight. You can carry the weight of the world and people's emotions and helping people through. So the stronger that you are mentally, physically, emotionally, the healthier that you are,

the more built to serve that you are to go and help other people that are out there. The worst thing that you could do is feel the weight of the world and all of the emotions and everything that's happening right now because it is very heavy and be paralyzed by it. The best thing that you can do is first start to work on yourself. Before we talk about working on others, which I a hundred percent think that we all need to go out and be leaders for other people is you have to work on yourself first. The way that I see it is that there should, there, there has never been a time in human history where you should, should have been more focused on working on yourself and making yourself the best you possibly can. Number one, with the pandemic and number two, with everything that's happening in the world

right now with the protests and with the shift that humans are going through, we need people to step up and be leaders and be light in this world. Whatever that means to you is what you need to step into, but you can only serve at the highest. The highest level that you can serve at is how much you've been working on yourself. So how are you working on yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually? Are you getting the right amount of sleep? Are you taking care of your nutrition? Because you can serve at the highest level only when you are at the highest level. So the first thing you should be focusing on is yourself in the best way that you possibly can, because then we can transition and talking about helping others. We need people to go out and help others right now.

We need people to go out there and help as many people as possible. And once again, whether that means that you step into being a positive leader, that you just go out and help people, that you go out and serve people, that you protest, that you go out into a march, whether it is that you want to be out there and talk about Black Lives Matter more, whatever it is for you is different than everybody else. It's not about stepping into somebody else's role. It's about stepping into your role, whatever that looks like for you, and stepping into it with confidence and saying, how can I serve? Whatever that means for you.

So what can I do for others is what I want you to ask. What do I feel like I'm being called to do for others? Because here's the thing. I notice that usually when I feel bad, I'm thinking about myself. When I feel good, I'm thinking about how I can impact others' lives around me. If I feel bad, the first thing that I try to do is I try to stop thinking about myself and I try to start thinking about other people. I try to drive to find homeless people and give them food or give them money or have a conversation

or try to help somebody else in some sort of way. Whenever I go and I try to focus on someone else, I stop thinking about myself. And the one thing that I always say is you're either focusing on yourself or you're focusing on purpose. And usually when we feel bad, we're focusing on ourselves. What I can get out of something. We're focusing on purpose is the purpose that we serve in this world. And I've never met a person whose purpose doesn't involve helping other people in some sort of way. There's something about humans that when we help other people, we feel better. So what are you being called to do right now? What does the world need where you can help? How can you best serve? Can you be there? Can you just listen to somebody? One of the things that's the biggest tragedy in the world right now is that people

won't listen to other people's perspectives. They won't just sit there and listen without thinking of how they're going to respond. Sit down with someone who doesn't look like you, who hasn't come from the same background as you, and just put yourself in their shoes and just listen. Whether they happen to be somebody who's a different color than you, someone who's a different sex than you, someone who's from a different country than you, just sit and listen to somebody

is one of the highest ways that you can serve. Just be there. Simply be there for another human. Some people need a shoulder to cry on. Some people need someone to cry with them. Just listen to somebody, ask them what they need, and then after they go through and you listen and you learn from them, ask them, how can I help?

How can I help? You know, one of the biggest tragedies is that people are posting and posting and posting about their opinions. Stop posting about your opinions and start listening to somebody else. One of the biggest things that you could do is have somebody shift your perspective. Because when you sit down with someone who you think is way different than you, in some form of, you know, you think that they're different as far as their beliefs in you or they're a Republican, you're a Democrat, or you're a Democrat and the Republican, or whether you hate this person or love this person, they love this person, hate this person,

whatever it is, you sit down with someone. And one of the biggest things that happens when you sit down with another person and have a true conversation and allow them to just speak is you get empathy for them. You can see the world from their perspective. And I think that the world needs to see more from other people's perspectives right now. Are there evil forces in this world? Sure. Absolutely. Can we beat them? Absolutely. There's way more. And I mean, hundreds of times more good people than bad people in this world. The problem is that most of the good people aren't focusing. Now they're starting to shift and focus on it. They're not focusing on how they can serve as much as possible right now. How do we beat these people? How do we

beat the evil forces and bring the light and the beauty and the beautiful and the loving people to the surface so that they can be our leaders and they can be out there. Number one, you work on yourself. You try to be the best that you possibly can for yourself, for your family, for your community, and you step into the role that you feel that you've been called to and you stop worrying about judgment because you playing small does not serve the world in any sort of way, any sort of way. What do you need to do to step into who you need to be? You need to work on yourself and get yourself to the highest capacity that you possibly can.

Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. Every aspect of who you are. Right now is the time. If there was ever a time in your entire life to work on yourself, to make yourself the best that you possibly could, it's right now. And number two, once you work on yourself, how can you serve others? How can

you help others? How can you be a beacon of light in darkness around the world? Hey everybody, real quick, the stress and anxiety that can be caused by debt is overwhelming.

That is the only way to drive out darkness. How can you be a lighthouse? How can you be the lighthouse that shines so bright that everyone goes, oh my gosh, I want to be like that. One of my favorite quotes in the world is be the change you want to see in the world. What change do you want to see right now? Have you thought about that? What change are you working

for? Are you fighting for? Do you want humankind to step into? What change do you want to see? And then ask yourself the question, am I embodying that change now? And what you'll find is you're embodying it somewhat, but you're not fully embodying it. So you're not going to be able to have the world embody the change that you want until you are fully 100% embodying that change. Guys, it's been heavy. I've been feeling it. I'm pretty sure you've been feeling it as well, but we're going through a change that I promise you is going to be one of the biggest changes in human history. I feel it. I know you feel it as well. And in order for somebody to recognize that there's a problem in their body, their body has to get

sick. But the sickness isn't the problem. The sickness is the symptom. It's the symptom. But what is the cause of that? What is the cause of the symptom that you have to figure out? You know, if you, I'm just going to think about it. If you have really bad diarrhea, right? It's usually not just because you just have diarrhea. Usually something happened to cause that diarrhea. Right now, the feelings that we're feeling, the stuff that's happening in the world, we're flushing out all the diarrhea, all the bad, all of the things that don't serve humankind anymore. It's being flushed out and flushed down the toilet. The people that are treating each other incorrectly, the people that are, you know, being racist for no reason, the people that believe for some reason it's just because of the fact that someone doesn't look

like them, they shouldn't have the same amount of rights. Everybody deserves equal rights, of course. So we need to flush out all of that bad, all of that diarrhea in order to get to good stuff. But the reason why you have diarrhea is because something caused it. Maybe it was something that somebody ate. Maybe it was a sickness. Maybe it was something else. But what I'm saying to you is we're flushing all of that stuff out. All of this, I can't believe I went for this DM. Like this is literally what popped in my head was diarrhea. Of course, this is what happened, right? The reason why you have diarrhea is because that's the symptom. There's a cause of that diarrhea.

And the cause is what is now being brought to light. We are going through the biggest consciousness shift in humankind. It will be beautiful. But sometimes before it gets beautiful, it's got to get ugly. I'm looking outside and it's a beautiful day outside in Austin. A couple days ago, it was rainy and it was crappy. I appreciate the sunshine more because of how crappy it was the other day. And so we're going to work through this. I believe in humans. I believe that we want to do what's

right. I believe that 99% of people are good and want to help other people out. And we need to work at bringing those people to the surface, embodying the change that we want to be and stepping into the leadership position that we need to become. We're feeling these heavy feelings right now because it's our bodies and it's our consciousness and it's humankind and the planet saying, listen, what you have been doing is unsustainable. It's time for you to make a change in everything that you do. It's like I said in the last episode, what are the things that we need to change? Number one, how we treat the world. We need to change that. It's where the pandemic came from. Number two, how we treat animals. That's also where the pandemic came from. Number three, how we treat

our bodies because you notice that during the pandemic, the people who didn't treat their bodies really well are really the ones that suffered the most. And then number four, what we're going through right now is how we treat each other. That is important. And if one of those four pillars falls, it all falls. How we treat the world, how we treat the animals, how we treat our bodies, and how we treat each other. We're going through a shift. And when you go through a shift, it's a little bit crazy but i believe in humans i believe in you i believe in me i believe in everyone that's out there let's focus on making ourselves the best we possibly can so that we can be the best leaders

whatever leadership means to you however big or small that might be because when you are the best that you could possibly be you can go out and you can serve other people at the highest level that you possibly can.
