Alright Fitlifer, Drew Canole, I'm excited you're here on this amazing mindset Monday.
I have something that I want to talk to you about and recently this morning a friend sent
over a book it's called 'Love yourself like your life depends on it' by Kamal Ravakant.
And Kamal, basically the best day of his life, at that particular point when this story starts
is that he's severely depressed, he's laying in bed, he doesn't love his life, he's Silicon
Valley entrepreneur doesn't really have a lot of meaning in his life and then one day
it switches, that he has to start talking to himself differently so he starts telling
himself that he loves himself, 'I love you, I love you' over and over and over and over
again.
And what's cool about the word love, is that it bypasses your conscious mind and directly
goes into your subconscious.
So it's something that you feel, it's an emotion that you evoke, and if you look at the vibrational
scale it's at the highest level.
You've heard me talk about love and some of these on the other videos so he start saying
this over and over again and I can testify that this works because about three and a
half, four years ago I would do something called the incantation.
We breathe in four times like and then you say something afterwards with four syllables,
at my particular point in life I was saying 'I love my life' and as I would say this I
would feel my energy start to rise.
Well, Kamal started doing the exact same thing in this book, it's a short book, it's about
seventy to eighty pages.
I read it this morning while I was on the treadmill and I know you'll absolutely going
to love it.
So broken down, he started saying this thing increasing his vibration and then his mind
started to change the outside world and situations started to change as well.
So in his life the more he said it the more people, places, events, circumstances started
coming in, what's really cool about the book is that he actually explains this conversation
that he had with this girl, very attractive girl, he was going out to dinner in San Francisco
and she was glowing and you know what that's like, when you look at somebody they're absolutely
glowing, they're ecstatic about life and you just know something's different and you felt
that in your own life probably before as well and it's the act of being in love.
So love is a choice, it's not a feeling, you can choose to have love every single day and
how you choose to have it is very very remarkable, so the most important person that you have
to love is yourself.
So he's breaking it down in this book and he made the commitment that day to love himself
and the way that he talked to himself changed.
So you know that, that glow that I was just talking about that feeling of being in love
with a significant other, why don't we have that with ourselves, snap yourself into a
state of love immediately.
So what happens with the rational mind is we're constantly thinking over and over we
have these thoughts every single day right?
What you have to do in the future, what you have to do right now, the people that you
have to help, everything that's going on in your mind, so you have little time to think
about yourself let alone how much you should be loving yourself.
So real quick trip to recognize this all present state of love that you can put yourself in
instantly is to do something really easily and what you're going to do is you're going
to anchor your body okay?
I do this when I'm in front of the video, I do this before I speak on stage or go on
TV or anything like that, it's real simple.
Number one is I snap my finger.
Snapping your fingers pulls yourself out of the state that you're in and out of your own
head.
You become very present when you hear the snap, that's why people use it when they train
animals, different things like that; your mind works the same way, so the first snap
pulls you immediately into the present moment.
So the second snap what I want you to do is spend some time thinking back to all those
moments when you felt love, okay?
If you want to real cool visualization process is to actually look out a window in a place
that you're very comfortable in.
For me it's my home town Lake City Michigan, I'm sitting at the table with my parents,
so and as I look out in this window they're all looking back at me with this overwhelming
radiation of love staring at not only just me but looking at my soul and who, what I'm
supposed to do on this planet, how much love that they have.
Every single person is outside this window, so in my mind's eye I see this real quick
and I anchor with the second snap.
You may spend half an hour, forty five minutes, an hour, writing out all those people that
love you, just as I have in the very beginning of doing this exercise but over time it's
going to happen much quicker, so you actually get a feel that I can actually come to the
realization that I have this overwhelming presence of people that love me in my life
and one snap and with that, that's powerful because number one quickly remind number two,
we're imagining, remembering all those people that love you and even if it's hard at first
finding those people that love you it's a very powerful exercise so make sure you do
that, get this book and apply it to your life.
I'm Drew Canole, remember we're in this together, I'll see you soon.
