Here is the complete transcript of the podcast
Today’s podcast episode is about reclaiming life. If you are at a point where you really don’t know what to do, like, you know, you need to do a few things about your life, but you’re not sure about them anymore. Because you did lead in life, the way you lead it. And it has come to a point where, you know, there has to be a change, that has to be something that has to be done differently, and you don’t know where to start. How do you go about it? This, in fact, is that peak performance question? This is a question that we all have on our minds. We don’t ask this question enough. And this question was from a conversation I had this weekend with this friend of mine, who is from my childhood days, he doesn’t know a lot about what I do. But he knows enough that I know, a thing or two that I do with my clients. So he was asking me, if there is a restart, how would I restart? And go about life? So that was the question.
So if you want to do something different, want to take control of your life differently. Want to get back into the game, want to get some structure, some discipline, some control? What do you need to do? And if I have to do it, how would I do it? The first and the foremost thing I would do, if I wake up in your shoes, if I wake up in my friendship is this first and the foremost days, I will get control on my sleep. I’m not talking about goals, I’m not talking about money carrier, any of that stuff, sleep, why sleep heals. Sleep is an integral part of our existence. I am notorious in saying multiple times on my radio shows that I sleep less to three hours, I can really rejuvenate myself and get back into the game of life. Some people need 5, 6, 7, 8. But it’s the quality of sleep that matters, not the quantity. So sleep is something that I would take control on right away.
I’ll sleep early, I wake up early, I sleep right, I sleep deep. I will change the external parameters, I’ll change the internal parameters, what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, what kind of a lag time I need to have between my sleep and my last meal and asleep. I will structure all that I will invest my time on structuring it. That is where I will start first. And then once I have that in control, the second area I would focus is my temper. My anger. Listen, if you are a human, which we all are, we have anger. Anger is an innate emotion. It’s there within us. Some people don’t show it. Some people mask it. But we all are angry. It’s given. Sometimes we forget the environment. Sometimes we we could be in front of 1000s of people and we show it. Sometimes we are only with one individual. That is we with ourselves and we show it. Anger is there. But temper is something that we need to take control on. I would focus all my energy on controlling my temper, or mastering or mastery over my temper my anger, I would, that’s the second area I would focus. The third area would focus once I have these two in place. I’ve got control in my sleep, I got control on my anger temper. The third one I would focus on is worries. What is a structure my worries that are positive worries that are negative worries. They happen differently to the human body. And they draw energy differently from these from us as individuals.
So I structure my worries and I have a whole podcast episode on how to do it. If you are a subscriber to this podcast, you have been listening to my radio shows I have it here. As one of the episodes in the podcast directory. Please look into the directory and you’ll find it. I will structured worries and I will really focus on getting control on them. That’s the third step. The next one in the process. I will schedule to laugh. I will learn to laugh. I will plan to laugh. Laugh is something that we don’t do. But again, it’s an important part in constructing a good life. So no matter how depressed you are, how angry you are, how worried you are, how sleepless you are, you need to laugh.
Occasionally, as I’m recording this podcast, you might have heard me laugh here and there. I’m just laughing right now, the smiling. It’s amazing that I’m with myself. And you will only listen to this when you listen to this. But why is that when I am doing when I’m recording this podcast, I’m laughing. I’m laughing because I’m imagining you listen to this. And you may choose not to listen to this. That’s okay. But I’m imagining that hundreds of people are listening to this podcast, they’re listening to me speak, so I can afford to laugh. So even if you are alone, why don’t you laugh, I would get control on that. The next thing I would do is, I would look into my complete habit structure. And see what are some of the habits that are harmful to me that I know are harmful. And they will eventually create harm, they will eventually bring me down as an individual, publicly or privately, then I will structure some time around working on those habits that are harmful, that I have to take them out of my system. Harmful habits have to go away whatever they are.
Then after that, I will start focusing on food. What to eat, when to eat, how to eat, the quantity, the calories, the burden, all that comes next. Once I have control on that, I will start working out exercising, running, jogging, whatever. So the bottom part comes after the consumption part is figured out. And once I have control on my workouts, my exercise, the next one I’ll focus is people. The art of loving people, to big thing. This is why I came into coaching. This is why I came into doing my seminars, workshops, this podcast, whatever everything that happened to me in life, because the underlying intent there is to love people. That’s the energy. That’s the thought that is the intent. If you’re in a profession where you dislike people, but you have to work with people, you are the most miserable individual. You are cost. If you have to work with people, but you don’t like people, you have wasted this life you have ruined the blessing given to you. It’s just not the right way to lead life. So I will practice loving people. I will think about people who did harm to me, in my mind when I’m alone. And I run a gratitude sequence, a greatness sequence on them.
A love a forgiveness sequence on them in my mind, I forgive them in my thoughts in my emotions in my feelings for whatever they have done to me or some people don’t do anything to you, they do it to themselves, you happen to be in the line of fire. So it’s possible that you have shown up in the line of fire of multiple people that were not aiming the fire at you, but it did hit you. What do you do, you run a forgiveness sequence in your mind for them. And these are the people who are gone their normal life. That could be this could be your past, it’s still bothering you. Why go to expensive therapies and all that when you could do it yourself. And a good therapist does the same thing to you anyway, takes out. Run say forgiveness sequence, run safe forgetting sequence, or a script or an algorithm in your mind. And in that way you start loving people or you start loving those who you hate. That’s how it works. And once I get control on that the last thing I will do is I will learn to play the play is anything that you’re doing you play so this podcast for example, initially when we started was a was a learning and there are there will be lessons along the way anyway, every day I wake up I’m learning something new about about everything. But then the interesting part is this now becomes a play. This is not work anymore.
Initially it was work. It’s no more work. This happens naturally have makeup I do this this. This is amazing. Like Like I don’t feel that I have a responsibility to her podcast anymore. It was that way for a long time. It was hard to record every day. Now I’m like, This is awesome. This is amazing. Now I’m playing this, you see, so take whatever you have got going, and turn that into a play. Amazing what happens with it? Okay? Those are the things I would do to reclaim life, if I’m starting late. And you’re 40, about 50, about 60, a bow and you’re trying to take control of your environment of your habits of your food of your diet of your exercise of your temper, if your anger, this is the sequence, guess what this sequence is not mine. I studied the sequence. I used it on myself. All these are in my existence, all this I can look at exactly. You know these things and say, Yeah, you know, yeah, I my exercise is going down right now, as I’m speaking because post COVID, I have not done anything as much. I know exactly where I’m falling apart. I know exactly what I’m getting worried about. I know exactly where I’m laughing or not. Whether I’m sleeping well or not. I know these 10 things I watch. And I constantly work, everything that I do is to get control on this. It’s not like once you have it, you’ll have it. Self improvement is not like permanent improvement. Self improvement is improvement. Improvement means it’s going to be losing its improvement. If you don’t work at it. It’s so we continue to work at it. It’s it today the podcast is a play to moderate may not be a play to modify if I’m not serious about it. I’m not working at it. Then guess what I was yesterday I was referring to this, which is all gifts, given to us at birth can be destroyed by single curse. So I can take this clay and turn it into a curse if I don’t work at it. It’s as simple as that.
