Hey everybody, Casey Zander here.
Now in today's video, I got a question from a subscriber.
And this one really stood out to me because the title was problems with staying present
in the moment.
And this is something that me myself I've struggled with from time to time, I know for
sure this is probably something that you've struggled with, and I'm gonna let you in on
a little secret.
Every person on planet Earth right now is going to be struggling with staying present
and stay motivated and actually focusing on task at hand without letting their mind drift.
So what I'm going to be doing is I'm going to be breaking down his email, giving some
rock solid guidance, so that way you can take these systems I use, you can copy paste this
into your life, and you can actually get right down to business.
So let's dive in.
We'll leave his name anonymous.
He goes, Hey, Casey, what advice do you have to give to someone to stay present and really
focus on what they're currently doing?
He says, I'm really stressed out as of lately, because I can't seem to stay present.
My mind always drifts to the shit that I've been through in the past and also drifts to
the future as a means to escape the present.
I'm definitely not living the life I want to live yet.
So constantly thinking about how it will be when it's all said and done.
I'm trying to stop.
I'm trying to stop because I think that it's affecting my motivation, based on all this,
what do you think is the best way to move?
So great question, I'm gonna break this down line by line and explain this.
So the first piece here, what advice do you have to give to someone who is seeing present,
and really focus on the things that they are doing currently?
Well, the very first thing that I recommend you doing and that will help is number one,
look at the tasks that you have throughout the day and remove all distraction.
Gate, one of the things I've had to do as of recently, as I've had to take my cell phone
while I'm working, lock it in a bedroom and not look at it.
And one of the biggest reasons why most men are low value or low status, they don't make
the type of wealth they want to make, they can't stay dedicated, they can't stay focus
is strictly because they have too many distractions.
You see, the best way to get present is not by focusing harder, it's not by trying to
focus more, it's by actually removing distraction, remove the chaos and the noise from your life.
And the more quiet you can start to get your inner peace, the easier it's going to be to
focus.
So here's a couple of ways to do that.
Number one, remove any music or background noise that might be going on in your house.
Number two, put away your phone unlock it when you don't need it.
Right, get it out of there, be able to actually look down at your workout task at hand and
focus on another thing.
Another thing that will help immensely with this that I've noticed is removing caffeine
when you have caffeine in you, and I've noticed this because I've been a coffee drinker my
whole life.
Not only are you shaky not only does it heightened anxiety, not only does it speed up blood pressure
and kind of raise anxiety and speed up your heart rate.
But you got to look at it like this, if you need stimulants to get you going.
And it's hard for me to say this, like I'm having to swallow my own, like pride when
I say this, because I love coffee, you have to understand how hard this is for me to say.
When you are constantly reliant on something for your own productivity, it actually makes
you weak and it makes you a slave to the things that you're actually reliant on.
And you're not strong as is all of a sudden you're dependent on these things, you're dependent
on checking your phone to feel a sense of security, you're dependent on that cup of
coffee, or that Red Bull energy to get you through the day.
And it makes you a weak willed individual.
Okay, that's number one.
Let's keep going.
He says I'm really stressed out as of lately, because I can't seem to stay in the present,
my mind always drifts to the shit that I've been through in the past and also drifts to
the future as a means to escape the present.
Okay, if that's happening, the work you're doing in the present has to actually be meaningful.
It has to impact people's lives.
It has to impact your life, it has to be for the betterment of a specific reason.
One of the quickest ways to let your mind wander, is to do stuff that bores you and
to do stuff that you don't care about, huh, go figure.
Most people who are working detta, nine to five jobs, they have no purpose, they have
no ability to stay focus.
It's no wonder they can't stay present in the moment.
They don't care about the things that they're actually doing.
The second you care about the things that you're doing the second you enjoy the things
that you're doing.
The second you find meaning in the things that you're doing is often is all of a sudden,
the second you can be present in the moment, do things you want to do.
And if you're not there yet with that income, what I recommend you doing is I recommend
you starting to work towards that and find different ways to escape find ways to break
out of that slave trap that you're in.
So that way you can hone in on that ambition, you can hone in on that purpose.
And all of a sudden you it's easy for you to stay present in the moment because you
like who you are and what you're doing right then in there.
Okay, let's keep going.
He says I'm definitely not living the life that I want to live yet.
So constantly thinking about how it will all be when it's said and done.
I'm trying to stop because I think it's affecting my motivation.
Based on this what do you think is the best way to move so dude right off the RIP what
you're doing have to do is you're going to have to get active and engaged in activities
where your mind can let go and be present in the moment.
Oftentimes, the reason why people don't find meaning in their work that they're doing why
people don't find meaning in their day to day life is because they're genuinely not
living the way that they want to live.
You have to understand this.
If you look at other people, and they have a life or a lifestyle as to something that
looks extremely well, something that you want something that you aspire to have maybe a
dream, dream relationship, maybe the dream income, dream, whatever dream living location,
I don't care what it is, you have to ask yourself and say, hey, if they did it, so can I, and
how can I reverse engineer every day of my life, so I am working towards what I want
to become because you're going to have to make yourself who you want to be.
And the only way to do that is you have to be present in the moment because most things
that take work is going to take focus.
But like I said at the beginning of this, the only way to actually stay focus is by
getting present in the moment by zoning in on the things you need to zone into and removing
that distraction to keep you centered.
