Memorable Quotes

"Most people don't even realize that they're not having a lived experience. They're having a psychological experience. Trapped in their thoughts."

"The mind is fast and cold. The body is warm and slow. Living in the mental space creates disease because the body creates inflammation to warm it up."

"Mastery of what I think is the most important thing in the world is learning how to balance these two realms - the mind and the body, when to take action and when to surrender."

POWERFUL LIVING EXPERIENCE

One of the things I'm learning from Rudolf Steiner is that the mind is fast and cold, and you can kind of feel that you can build up a psychological momentum that is so fast that when you sit down and try to meditate, it's like monkey mind. You can't even slow your thoughts down. And by the way, the world around us is not supportive of this slowdown because now we've got these devices attached to our bodies called phones, and they're fast. They're designed to be fast because that speed is addictive. It's a dopamine hit. It's an activation of adrenaline and cortisol in your system. And then your body actually starts to crave it. And that's why when you put your phone down for about five minutes, five minutes later, you go back to pick up your phone and you don't even know why. That's why shorts are short and reels are reals. Welcome to A Changed Mind. A journey into the topics that matter to you most. From the neuroscience and spirituality of mindset and personal growth. To groundbreaking strategies for health, wealth, and relationships, to open and honest conversations about pressing global issues such as the environment, censorship, corporate capture, and democracy. Each and every episode reminds us of the certainty of the goodness of the future and provides the teachings, tools, and timeless wisdom inspiring you to create real, lasting change in your life and in the world. If you've been desiring A sanctuary for your spirit. A place to go to tune out the distraction, negativity, and doom and gloom so that you can tap into the deep power, the vibrancy, and the potential you have inside. You're in the right place. Welcome to a Changed Mind. Hey, it's David. Welcome to A Changed Mind. A sanctuary for your spirit. A place where each and every episode, I remind you of the certainty of the goodness of the future. I'm your friend, your host, your guy, David Bayer. Every single person on a personal growth journey, whether they realize it or not, is wrestling with one fundamental question. How do I balance my plan with the divine plan? How do I know when to take action and when to step back? When am I forcing and when am I flowing? And this isn't just a philosophical question. It is the key to whether your life feels like a constant grind or an unfolding miracle. And until you learn how to navigate this, you'll always feel like you're either pushing too hard or not doing enough. Most people think they just need to work harder, strategize better, or force their way through. But what if the real secret isn't about doing more, but about knowing when to do what. If you've ever felt like you're putting in so much effort but still not getting anywhere, this is the conversation that will finally make it all click. You know, I had the great opportunity just last weekend actually to go speak to a room full of very, very successful entrepreneurs. This was a room full of people who had million dollar businesses, ten million dollars businesses, hundred million dollar businesses. One of the questions I asked at the beginning of my talk was how many of you feel like there's a psychological momentum that's been building up over time that were really, really good at? Maybe it was managing chaos, maybe it was solving problems, maybe it was taking complex concepts and distilling them down. Maybe you were a person who was able to just be really resourceful and help other people, but now you find that that part of you has gained too much control. Now you're attracting chaos, you're attracting all the people who need your support. You're attracting all kinds of things now that are starting to burn you out. In other words, that part of you that was really, really good that you think got you to where you are is now the thing that is suffocating you in room raised their hand. And so what we're talking about in today's conversation is this thing that permeates our day to day life. The psychological obsession and the predominance of the mind that is pulling you out of reality. It's literally pulling you out of your existence in the present moment into a dead mental hell. And we have to step back and it's really important that you're here for this episode to acknowledge something's wrong. Like I'm not playing the game according to the rules that are going to get me from where I am to where I want to go. And so the question becomes now, what if we're constantly involved in this mental space and thinking and obsessing and hustling and grinding and we can't slow down, even though we want to slow down, even though we know that there's something wrong? What do we do? How do I get out of my head and back into my life? How do I align myself with. With the good of my life or life itself and do what I'm supposed to do today, but also leave room for the miracles? How do I relax into the unfolding of the vision I have for my life and get out of the grind, get out of the anxiety of life? Because it's like no matter where I am, no matter what I achieve. I'm always in the same place, still worried, still focused on my problems, still feeling unsafe. Is there a better way? So what life looks like when we're living in the problem is a disconnected life. It's a life where, and this happened to me recently. I live in my dream home. It's a 9,000 square foot compound on top of a mountain in the jungles of Puerto Rico. And I'm going from my second floor down to my first floor where I have my swimming pool and I have my commercial gym and I have my podcast studio and my jacuzzi and my in ground cold plunge.

What am I doing? I'm training my mind to not think, but to notice feeling. I notice the feeling of the energy around my heart or my heart chakra, that warmth. Now I'm back in my body. I do it for a minute or two and then I move back into my day. That's the emotional practice of dropping into the body. And then a physical practice is very important too. Doesn't matter what it is, but something that makes you uncomfortable. Because when you're uncomfortable physically, your mind pays attention to the physical discomfort. Again, you're bringing your mind back into your body. So that might be a really, really hot sauna session. That might be a really great yoga class. It might be a cold plunge. For me, it's high intensity interval training combined with yoga in my gym. But this is resistance training. Because what we're doing is we're learning how to be with the resistance of our life without getting entangled with it. Being able to breathe through it, being able to be in our body while in the resistance not in mind, which will just perpetuate the resistance even more. Four simple really, really good practices.

So look, this is the game and my encouragement for you is I don't know what else you're taking serious in your life right now. What else you're committing time and energy to. You might be committing time and energy to worry. Just transfer about 30 minutes of time and energy of worry into this on a daily basis. Whether it's listening to other videos, whether it's actually implementing the practice. I don't know where you're committing your time and energy. Are you a business owner and you're trying to hack your funnel and study your funnels or get really good at some sort of online marketing technique? Get good at this techni. This is root cause. This is what will allow your funnels to work sustainably over time in your business to grow. Are you a gym addict? You just focused on perfecting your body. No judgment or criticism here. Put 30 minutes into a warmup session called this skill. This is the most important skill you can possibly develop. The ability to intentionally down regulate your nervous system. To be able to use your mind intentionally but not automatically. To be able to bring yourself into the heart space and the warmth space and the body space so that you can access the divine information, the true intelligence that's trying to make its way to you. And the skill to be able to actually live your life and enjoy your life and be present for your life through your body and through your five senses and experience the third dimensional space while being able to go into the fourth dimensional space of imagination when you choose to versus being pulled into that imagining. All the things that we're afraid of. Man, you have to treat mindset like your life depends on it. You know why? Because it does. It does. So I hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I loved sharing it with you. I've got so many other episodes that literally you could just click on a random episode and it will support you in moving towards mastery of this skill. I've mentioned some other ones that I'll make sure the team puts in the show notes. But do me a favor, if you're watching on YouTube, leave me a comment. Give me a little thumbs up. Subscribe if you haven't. I mean, this is what I think. I want to know what you think. What did you resonate with? What's part of your practice? This isn't a Do it yourself project. We're doing this together. If you're listening on the audio platforms, do me a favor, subscribe, leave me a review. And the biggest thing I think is if you were inspired by this episode, share it with somebody who needs to hear it. This is the way we're going to do it is together. Because as we make our lives better and we start creating more of our own reality, and as more people start creating more of what they desire from an authentic place in their own reality, that's actually how we change the system. People spend so much time complaining about the system out there. The left, the right, the censorship, the financial cartel, the pharmaceutical cartel, the totalitarian control, the wars. Where do you think that stuff comes from? It comes from inside of us. That's the collective reality that we're creating. So spread the good news and I will see you in the next episode.
