1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000 So the big question is this, how do young men like us who didn't listen to society, 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:16,000 who are on our own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live better tomorrow? 3 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000 That is the question and this show, give it answers. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:30,000 Welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show. 5 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Welcome back everyone. 6 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000 Today was a good day. 7 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:46,000 I want to talk to you guys about something called grounding. 8 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:56,000 It's where grounding is where you stand on the ground of the earth. 9 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000 So you stand barefoot or sit, whatever. 10 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000 You're just touching the earth. 11 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:12,000 And I haven't looked into any of the research or the science, 12 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000 but my friend has done deep research on it. 13 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:30,000 And he believes that it is the most valuable thing for your health if you ground yourself every day. 14 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:40,000 So I've just been walking around my local park, shoeless, without a shirt, 15 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:50,000 in the grass, just walking around for an hour or two every day with my friend. 16 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:58,000 I've really enjoyed it. It's really good. 17 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000 I don't really know what any of the benefits are to it, 18 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000 but my mood is way better when I ground myself. 19 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000 And it just makes me feel good all around. 20 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 It makes me feel connected to the earth. 21 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Stay in tune with nature. 22 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:32,000 So that is grounding. I highly recommend you do it every day. 23 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:46,000 And right now I'm actually grounding myself. I'm sitting in a chair with my feet on the ground in my backyard. 24 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,000 So as you know, I'm in the beginning stages of entrepreneurship. 25 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000 I'm kind of just entering in. I've read a few books. 26 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:10,000 And right now I'm working on a squeeze page for on-click funnels for my product. 27 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:19,000 I'm going to give away my guidebook for free, 15 pages. 28 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:28,000 I'm working on it and I keep on trying to convince myself to go back to reading. 29 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Like I should read more. 30 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:37,000 And I feel as though I'm addicted to reading. I feel like it's holding me back. 31 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:48,000 So I'm not reading until I get 10 leads on my squeeze page. 32 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,000 I don't know how long it will take a day, maybe a week. I don't know. 33 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000 But I need to start taking action. 34 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:11,000 I signed up for the One Funnel Away Challenge, or the Your First Funnel Challenge at ClickFunnels. 35 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:18,000 And I haven't done it yet. It starts in two days. 36 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:24,000 But I watched the documentary that they told me to watch. 37 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:36,000 And there was a part of the documentary where there was a guest speaker on the stage at the Funnel Hacking Live for ClickFunnels. 38 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,000 In front of hundreds, thousands, like thousands of people. 39 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:54,000 And she got up on stage and just said, just do it. Just do it. Just do it. 40 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Like four times. 41 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000 And that really stuck with me. 42 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,000 So that's today's lesson. 43 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000 Just do it. I just need to act. Just start acting. 44 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000 I'm going to be afraid. 45 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:27,000 And it's best to just start acting. 46 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000 It's a beautiful day out. 47 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:38,000 Right now, one of my biggest priorities is staying present. 48 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,000 And building my focus stronger. 49 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000 And how I plan on doing that is continue my meditation every day. 50 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,000 I meditate in the morning for 20 minutes and at night for 30 minutes. 51 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000 And continue doing that. 52 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000 And also stay present. 53 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:14,000 I keep on every so often when I remember. 54 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,000 I remember to stay in tune with my senses and just feel my environment. 55 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:27,000 For example, I feel the wind blowing on my chest right now. 56 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000 I can feel the wind on my face. 57 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000 I can smell the grass outside. 58 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,000 I can see that tree over there. 59 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:50,000 I can feel the sun shining on my body. 60 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Just things to feel, see, hear. 61 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Just take into account my senses and become aware of my senses throughout the day. 62 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,000 I can be one with the environment. 63 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:18,000 And stay in present, keeping my mind clear. 64 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:26,000 Because I believe that if you have high focus, if your focus is strong, 65 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:36,000 and you actually get down to do work, you're going to be so much more efficient. 66 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Because you'll actually be able to focus on the task at hand and complete it quicker and more efficiently. 67 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:58,000 If your mind is scattered, then you won't be able to complete it as efficiently. 68 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:05,000 I'm not really sure how long it's been. 69 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:15,000 I've been recording my podcast on a tiny little voice recorder. 70 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:25,000 A tiny voice recorder that I got a while ago to track my thoughts in the middle of the night when I was dreaming. 71 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000 But I never used it for that. 72 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,000 So I just figured I'd use that so I could stay off of my phone. 73 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,000 And I could bring it with me outside and record my podcast outside. 74 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Being one with nature. 75 00:08:47,000 --> 00:09:00,000 So that's today's episode. Thanks for listening and have a great day.
