how to protect your energy (reality transurfing) | Jack Hopkins

0:00Your most important asset as an entrepreneur is not your money. It's not your property portfolio or your crypto. And it's not even your time. Your most important asset as an entrepreneur or any person at all is your energy. Because it doesn't matter how much money you've got. And it doesn't matter how much time you've got. If you've got a hundred years, but you're bed bound. And you can't do anything with that time. Time on its own does not matter. Just as money on its own does not matter if you cannot spend it. Therefore, your most important thing to protect and cultivate in your life as an entrepreneur is the amount of energy that you have. So in this video, I'm going to go through not really your traditional stuff about energy. We all know that we should need carbs in the morning. That we need to get enough sleep eight hours a night. We know that we need to train to elevate our state. If you don't know those things, there you go. But I'm going to go more into the spiritual side of energy. How do you protect against things that are stealing your energy that you don't even know about? And we call these energy vampires.

1:00This comes from the book Reality Transurfing, which if you haven't read, I highly recommend. It's the book that millionaires read to become billionaires. And I'm going to break down one of the key concepts in this book because the book is quite complicated. The first thing I want to start with is a energy vampire that you probably haven't noticed in your life unless you're operating at a very high spiritual level. And that is a energy vampire called excess importance. Anything that you and your life put excess importance of, gathers stress. Now a lot of people talk about tactical stress. Oh, I should be stressed because it forces me to make the right choice or it forces me to finally do things. What if there is a way to effortlessly do things without getting stressed? What if there was a way to get ten times more things done? Because rather than spending your energy on stress, you could just spend your energy on action and actually delivering on the things you want that build you your life. Now, this is the problem that most people have. What they do is they put excess importance, for example, on getting rich or building their business or scaling to that next level or meeting that girl.

2:02And what this does is it builds up and builds up in your head and you spend more brain calories thinking about it over and over again. You're thinking about this thing. You wake up every morning and you're like, fuck, I got to get rich. I got to get rich right now. What that's doing in your mind or all these open tasks, all these open-ended loops, these things that you have to get done that are mounting up on you. These are like window tabs, open on a computer. And if you go for long enough opening these tabs and not closing them, not taking any action, those tabs start to slow down the computer. They steal the computer's energy. It's spread to thin and that's exactly what they're doing to you. So how do you want something without giving your excess importance? And more importantly, how do you get things done without feeling stressed about them? This is how you do it. So having the goal of being rich is not a problem. That's a great goal to have. What you need to think about in your life is exactly what that vision looks like, that getting rich, that scaling of the business, where you want to be. You need a very clear vision. That's incredibly important.

3:03You need to know how that looks and feels in your mind. That's like your guidance system. That's your reticular activating system, I believe. That's the name. That's the thing you're North Star. So at least your mind knows, okay, that's what I'm going to. That's what I'm trying to achieve. Now, instead of getting stressed about that every day, you just break down that big task into very little micro tasks. And you totally let go of the idea of, I want to get rich, I want to get rich and replace it with, I know I'm going to succeed in my goal. If I just continuously do these actions that lead to this North Star, the thing that I'm looking to accomplish. Now, it's important to remember at the same time, to remain grateful for what you have in your life right now. The main reason why people never end up with the things they want. The path that's further ahead, the dream life is because they cannot feel happy for the things that they have in their life right now. And that's how you release a lot of this stress. When you feel a feeling of gratitude for what you already have, it protects your energy.

4:03The feeling of gratitude gives you power. Whereas most people feel this constant sense of lack, like they don't have enough in their lives. One of the most impactful things you can do for your own energy right now is just to be grateful for everything that you do have. And once you become happy in this reality, God can give you more. The universe can give you more, whatever you believe in. That's a very important point to keep in mind. So how do we start to act on this right now? Because this is something that I struggle with. And I'll give you an example. Today, I wanted to make a video for my main channel on YouTube. And I haven't posted in a month. Reason I haven't posted in a month is because I put excess importance, stress on making the ultimate video, the best video. And now for this entire month, I've had that running in the background. You might have the same thing. A task that you want to get done. You can never get it done because you want to get it perfect. And that perfectionist mindset really slows you down. And the reason why is because you don't get energy until you've taken action. The energy comes after you've done something towards a goal. So today, for example, we didn't know what idea we wanted to talk about in the video.

5:08But what we did is rather than getting overwhelmed and trying to make it perfect, we thought, okay, we break it down into a task. And the first task was, let's set up a set. Let's make a new set in my room that we can film this video on. And once we've made the set, we felt a little bit more energy, a little bit more joy, a little bit of dopamine had been released. And our energy levels peaked a little bit. And then me and my team, we sat down and thought, okay, what can we make a video on? And I've been reading reality, trans surfing. And I've made some notes this morning by the pool on energy levels, energy systems. And the way they talk about it in this book and we thought, okay, let's flesh out that idea. And that gave us a little bit more motivation. And then all that you've got left is to sit down in front of the camera. And what we did is we let go of the result. We let go of whatever not we were going to get it. And we just broke down the thing that we wanted to accomplish into very small and manageable goals. Now, excess importance is one thing that you can do to get rid of an energy drain inside of your life. And hopefully you now are a bit clear on how to do that.

6:08The next most important thing when it comes to energy is the people around you. Because people can be energy vampires. So how do we find out if the people around us are stealing our energy or giving us energy to move forwards in our lives? And the way I noticed this is with my feeling with a inner look inside of my body and how I feel after I've had an interaction with a person. So it doesn't matter how much money somebody's got. Everyone says you need to be around people that ahead of you. And I totally agree and I think money is a part of that, but it's not always everything. So someone can have a lot more money than you, but if they have negative internal beliefs. If they want to shoot everyone down, if they have a non abundance of scarcity mindset, you find some rich people have a scarcity mindset. Still, they're not very generous and they hold everything to themselves. And it means when anyone's around them that intimidates them, they're going to try and steal their energy and ideas subconsciously. It's just what they will do. So what you have to look for is the people that leave you with energy after you've spoken to them.

7:11And a good example of this would be the comparison between a friend from school that you go and meet and hang out with who's not really doing much with their life. And an entrepreneur that is looking after their body, looking after their mind, growing their business. When you meet the friend from school, he wants to talk about other people. Maybe he wants to talk about video games. Maybe he wants to drink or take part in negative habits. You will leave that conversation drained of your internal energy, your internal magic that we used to change our lives. On the flip side, if you meet a person that has a head of you that you feel a little bit shy or embarrassed around because they're doing so much more than you're currently doing, it's going to naturally raise your standard. So when you're around them, you're going to do what they do because in your head, there's a level of respect. They're higher up on the hierarchy. What do we do when someone's higher up on the hierarchy? We listen to what they say and we do what they do. If we're with someone of equal level or if someone that we view as below us, we don't need to hold ourselves accountable in front of these people. However, these people on the right, when we're around these people, these are the guys that are going to leave you with energy because they force you to level up.

8:17They're the guys that you feel embarrassed around if you're taking part in bad habits and you get to feed off their energy. So when I go and have a conversation with someone in our network, the new elite are running entrepreneurs network. And when we go and have conversations and I talk to a guy who's making $400,000, $600,000 a month or recently I had a guy around who just done $1.2 million a month and we hosted a barbecue at my villa in Dubai. After a conversation with this person, all they talk about is progression. They talk about action, getting to the next step. So this said person, after our conversation, rather than just talking about things, cars, luxuries, what we want, gossip from other people, we're talking about business. And then we're actually talking about action steps, the people that give you energy, give you action steps because action is everything. Action is the key to living a great life. There's so many people that talk a big talk. There's not many people that sit down and put the work in. So whenever I find myself around someone I view as a high achiever, normally the main thing they say is, why are you not doing that yet?

9:20When I listen to somebody, let's say they're making less money than me inside the newly, I don't just listen and talk to them about their idea because that's aimless and that's what most people do. I sit and I listen to them and I talk to them about what they should do now. I'm always thinking about in my head, okay, well, if that's your problem or if that's the thing you've thought of, this is what you should do next. What are the steps you're taking and can you do them now? The people that are like that, the action takers in your life are the people that you need to surround yourself with. The people that just talk the talk that gossip or talk about other people are energy vampires and they will stop you from achieving your dreams. So in your life, you need to sit down now and have an audit and think, am I around anyone that leaves me with energy to fulfill my goals or am I only surrounded by people that steal my energy? And you need to have a look at that and you need to weigh it up. And if you can't spend time, if you don't have any people on this right hand side corner, you need to stop spending time with these guys and instead surround yourself with books with knowledge of high achievers.

10:21They're their your best friends with videos like these people that can give you energy through a screen until you find your plan. So just to finish up, if I was going to break this down for you for how you should run your life very simply after this video, it would be like this. So I would wake up early and I would instantly surround yourself with knowledge with energy that come out the pages of books. That's what I like to do in the morning. So I read 10 pages of a book, a self improvement book that gives me some new ideas, some new energy, some new flow into my life and boost my energy up. I would then go and have a work out. I would then go and raise your state to exercise. I would avoid food in the morning. Food can slow you down because your stomach starts to process and digest food, which steals your energy away from your brain. So I'd spend that first half of the day fasted on black coffee, sparkling water. That is how I begin each day, not to mention you're going to get leaner. I would do the majority of your work on your own in that high energy state. And then I would only go and meet people that add energy to your life. If there's no people there that add energy, people that just put you back into bad habits, I would spend time alone in solitude.

11:26And if you don't have these people around you, I would find any way to get around someone who is changing their reality, somebody that is making big moves in their life. Because the easiest way to boost your energy is to just be put in a room and take action with other action takers. Action is the key to everything. Remember that your day begins with action, it continues with action. And that is how you build your energy levels, whilst protecting against excess importance, stress in your mind and the things that steal your energy. So guys, it's been an absolute pleasure. I hope you enjoyed it. And I'll see you on the next one.
