Full transcript

1. 0:00what I still practice to this day is you
2. 0:02I wake up to no alarm so I wake up
3. 0:04naturally uh I also have uh windows in
4. 0:08my room that are that are not blocked
5. 0:10from the light so there is an element of
6. 0:12natural daylight that also comes in that
7. 0:14engages in when I wake up but I will
8. 0:18wake up and then upon waking up sitting
9. 0:20next to my bed I'll have 500 milliliters
10. 0:22of water and I will sit on the edge of
11. 0:24my bed literally just kind of pivot from
12. 0:26where I'm sleeping put my feet over the
13. 0:29edge plant my feet solidly on the ground
14. 0:31and then I'll start drinking my 200 M or
15. 0:33my 500 MERS of water um not in any kind
16. 0:35of rush but in a in a fashion that is
17. 0:38intended to hydrate not a fashion that
18. 0:40is intended to just sip away at water
19. 0:42and during that period of time I will
20. 0:45just sit in a comfortable position uh
21. 0:47it's very similar to Transcendental
22. 0:49Meditation and then I'll personally I
23. 0:52will close my eyes I'll cross my fingers
24. 0:54so that I have connection from Left Hand
25. 0:55to right hand that's a physical
26. 0:56connection kind of a closed circuit of
27. 0:58the body and then I'll
28. 1:00uh I will repeat a mantra in my head
29. 1:03that was given to me when I learned
30. 1:04Transcendental Meditation and then I'll
31. 1:06just essentially practice that
32. 1:07transcendental Mantra and constantly
33. 1:10trying to push it further back and
34. 1:11further back into my into my conscious
35. 1:13mind and it's through that process that
36. 1:17I will start to see what thoughts are
37. 1:21dominant against the Mantra and that
38. 1:24kind of helps me see what my mind is
39. 1:27subconsciously stewing on and what those
40. 1:29priorities are to me and often times
41. 1:31I'll find myself thinking about you know
42. 1:33a deep problem at work or in the
43. 1:35business or a deep problem in the family
44. 1:37or deep concern for a family member but
45. 1:40um but it gives me a chance to kind of
46. 1:43connect at a very deep level with what
47. 1:46is sitting on my brain both conscious
48. 1:49and subconscious I think that's a
49. 1:51critically important statement that you
50. 1:53made assessing the thoughts that arise
51. 1:56against the Mantra the thoughts that are
52. 1:58powerful enough to seem important enough
53. 2:01to overpower that Mantra are you then
54. 2:03doing any type of writing afterwards or
55. 2:06during in a journal to capture those
56. 2:07thoughts correct yeah and then there's a
57. 2:09and then I have a very light journaling
58. 2:11process I am not good at journaling and
59. 2:13I am Inc incredibly jealous of people
60. 2:16who are good at journaling uh and and
61. 2:18again it's I'm using a a values based
62. 2:21judgment right to to decide this but
63. 2:23when I Journal I don't journal in detail
64. 2:25I don't journal in full sentences I kind
65. 2:27of journal in fragments so I'll write
66. 2:29down what ever is at the top of my mind
67. 2:31right um the baby got sick last night or
68. 2:35uh I'm worried about my grandmother's uh
69. 2:37Health right now or the the business
70. 2:40needs a new marketing strategy for Q3 or
71. 2:42whatever else it might be I'll journal
72. 2:45in fragments but then what it gives me a
73. 2:47chance to do is by the end of the week I
74. 2:49can review the fragments of the week and
75. 2:51I'll start to see the true anchor points
76. 2:53and what are which of these are
77. 2:55consistent patterns exactly that's very
78. 2:58interesting Okay so so you have this
79. 3:00meditation component and these journals
80. 3:03I'm I'm assuming you just kind of save
81. 3:04them and come back to them or review
82. 3:06them at a certain point I'll actually
83. 3:08translate my my written journals into
84. 3:11dashboards like Excel dashboards that I
85. 3:13can then categorize and sort over time
86. 3:16so I think I have somewhere you know 370
87. 3:19or so P um uh lines of journal entries
88. 3:23that I can then draw from for the entire
89. 3:25year yeah it's basically uh working in
90. 3:28the process of integration from
91. 3:29analytical standpoint which is smart
92. 3:31versus just having a bunch of random
93. 3:32thoughts that you never come back
94. 3:37[Applause]
