Quotes:

“You've got your brain’s unhelpful default settings. Your brain is naturally focusing on and looking for some version of negativity, urgency, and complacency. And the things you benefit from focusing on that are designed to overcome that are heightening your awareness on what's most important, creating energizing goals, designing a schedule that gives you space, and then having an ongoing system for feeding your mind.” (9:07—9:30)

“As human beings, we want to revert back to old ways. And those old ways are focusing on negativity, urgency, and complacency.” (9:52—9:59)

“It’s how you start your day. And actually, it starts the night before. But what you do in the first 30 to 60 minutes of your day, that determines the day you're going to have.” (14:18—14:29)

“When you get yourself in the habit of doing things that feel like wins, that raises your energetic state of mind.” (14:39—14:46)

“Different energetic states of mind carry different power and energetic values . . . You've got things like shame, despair, humiliation, and blame. And hopelessness and guilt sit on the bottom. And then, way at the top, you've got peace, serenity, love. And so, what happens is you’ve got an energetic value to each of these states of mind. And it’s a nonlinear relationship.” (15:09—15:43)

“When you're down in shame, despair, humiliation, you have very, very low energetic value. And moving to a place of neutrality is an exponential jump in your energetic state.” (16:03—16:17)

“Forgiveness is a very high energetic state of mind, [as well as] love, understanding, reason, serenity, peace. But so many of us, you mentioned the stuff you're willing
