how to protect your brain from overstimulation.

The one thing that you actually have,

which is going to help you achieve your

potential, isn't anything physical or

material. It's your attention. Because

if you don't have enough attention,

well, you're not even going to be

bothered or [ __ ] to do anything in the

first place to achieve your highest

potential. And the reason why I know you

have an attention problem is because

you're over-consuming educational

content. You're watching all the

podcasts, you're looking at the latest

studies, you're doing all of this, and

still you're not taking good enough

action. I guarantee you in your life,

somewhere in the past, maybe a few weeks

ago, a month ago, maybe a couple years

ago, you had glimpses, a few days, maybe

a week of

living in your absolute edge. And what I

mean by that is you just felt [ __ ]

alive. Everything felt aligned,

everything felt effortless, you felt

great, and it was genuinely a great

moment of your life, only for it to

relapse back and fall back into place.

Now, what happened here is something

happened in your life, you went and you

doubted yourself, you doubted the

process, you doubted who you were. So,

instead of going back in yourself and

trusting yourself again, you started

looking for more education. You started

looking for more things. You started

looking for answers outside of you. I

did the same. Instead of actually

looking at myself and realizing that,

wait, it's me who I I don't even believe

in myself. It's not the education It It

doesn't matter what education it is. I

just don't believe in myself. So, there

was no point. I was watching all the

guides, I was listening to all the

blueprints, and reading the books, and

everything like that. But nothing was

actually happening because I didn't even

believe in anything like this. You know,

the guides, the routines, and

everything. Until I started looking into

the actual critical information, which

was

why do I even feel like this in the

first place? Why is it that when I wake

up in the morning, the most natural

thing for me to do is grab my phone,

watch porn, masturbate, and not even

take a shower? Why is that natural for

me? Why is it natural for me to think

negatively? Why is it natural for me to

self-sabotage myself? Why is it natural

for me to give my attention away to

everything else? Why do I keep wasting

my life? At the real root cause, why

does this happen?

And I stumbled upon a book by Dr. Joe

Dispenza called Breaking the Habit of

Being Yourself. And then I read Becoming

Supernatural by the same author.

And I realized and I was reminded, cuz I

knew about this in the past, but I never

really took great action. I realized,

wait a second.

This is just how I'm coded. This is just

how I'm programmed. I've been living

like this way for so long that it's just

become my natural state. So, if I start

to live like a new person,

then that will eventually become my new

natural state. But the question I had

was, okay, what do I need to do to

become this new person? You know, is it

more habits? Is it more routines? How

disciplined do I have to be? That's

where I [ __ ] up.

I was the guy who was walking around

24/7 with earphones playing educational

videos. I'm not talking about motivation

here, because I believe motivational

videos are actually [ __ ] awesome. I

believe in that. I believe that when

you're down bad and you listen to a

[ __ ] motivational video, it hits the

spot, man. It it does. I'm more talking

about just pure information, the pure

guides, the pure routines, the pure

habits, and techniques. They never

worked for me cuz I was looking for

solutions outside of myself.

It doesn't matter what the solution is.

I just never believed there could be a

solution in the first place. So, how did

I break out? First, I need to reset my

nervous system. I was giving my

attention away to all the wrong places.

Come on, bro. I know you have a

potential, otherwise you wouldn't be

watching this far. And the only thing,

as I mentioned, keeping you from your

potential isn't more information, cuz

you have an idea of what you want to do.

It isn't more guides or more knowledge,

cuz you know how different how you can

do it in different ways. You've got that

resource.

What it was at the end is a few things:

fear, worries, lack of self-belief,

self-sabotage, and it doesn't feel like

something you can actually achieve. And

even if you did achieve it, you wouldn't

be worthy enough to keep it, so you will

lose it. This is how you think. This is

how you behave. And this is how you feel

about yourself, I guarantee you. And

that's exactly what I had to break out

of, cuz I went through the exact same

thing. I always tell the same story.

Um it took me 1 year to finally start my

YouTube channel because I was so afraid

of what people are going to think of me.

And then when I did start, I ran that

YouTube channel for 4 years, only to get

700 subscribers.

In this new channel you're watching, I

got 700 subscribers in 4 months.

Now, what happened there is over the 4

years, I kept self-sabotaging. I would

have like a week of uploading every day,

and then I would just lose hope cuz all

my videos done [ __ ] and I would give

up, and I would go back to my old

habits, go back to playing Dota 2 for

another thousand hours, go back to my

realistic my simulation my kingdom in

Crusader Kings and play that instead,

and order more weed, and waste more

time, and spend more time indoors. I was

just letting it all waste away. You know

what I was doing at on top of that? I

was watching Hamza videos. I was

watching Iman Gadzhi. I was watching all

the business gurus.

Yeah, I was playing Dota 2, smoking

weed, and watching videos motivating to

be my potential self. And I never

believed in myself.

My identity was wrong. That's the thing

I was [ __ ] up. I wasn't fixing my

identity. I was fixing my Oh, I need

more knowledge. I need more solutions. I

need more this. No, no, no, no, no. You

don't need more. You need less. You need

to spend less time giving your attention

away. You need to spend less time giving

away the actual source of energy you

have to make change, and that's my

attention.

So, what what did I do? Well, I started

to pay attention to myself. Instead of

paying attention to more podcasts, and

more books, and more songs, and more

ideas, I started paying attention to my

thoughts, and my emotions, and my

desires, and my thought patterns, and

how things were happening in my mind.

And then, by paying less attention to

things, I became more relaxed. I started

to regulate my nervous system. I started

just sitting in the sun, you know, just

chilling out, letting my mind be still,

letting my mind be peaceful. Just

chilling out. That's what I was doing.

And then, what happened is

I started to realize, hold on a second.

Why was I so afraid yesterday, and why

am I not afraid right now?

Why am I in this moment, why do I feel

so great? Why is there no thoughts

running?

And then I realized, oh,

I was living in survival mode. I was

living on autopilot. And the fact that

I'd never realized I was on autopilot

was draining my attention, my focus, my

energy, my life force away from me.

And so,

regulating my nervous system, actually

just taking a breath,

>> [sighs]
