All right.

Hello and welcome to this training.

As you can see from the title, what we're going to be covering

today is how to control energy before it turns into your reality.

As you can see from the overview, what we're going to be talking about

more specifically is first the overview itself,

the energy precedes reality principle, the control layer engineering,

your energetic output, the review and your action items for the day

or the next few days.

Now, before we get started, if you want to work with me one on one,

then make sure to book a call from the link in the description.

We work with entrepreneurs, high performance,

and professionals to basically help them master every aspect of their life

and every pillar of their life,

which in our opinion or in my opinion is health, wealth, love and self.

And happiness takes care of itself when you take care of these pillars.

With that said, if you want this training along with this document, then make sure

to join the free community from the link in the description

where we publish all of these trainings along with their respective texts.

And if you want weekly newsletters helping you improve every aspect of your life

meaning, health, wealth, love and self.

And make sure to join the free newsletter again from the link in the description.

With that said, let's get started

and talk about the energy precedes reality principle.

So a lot of people think reality creates their energy.

Something good happens so they feel good, something bad happens, so they feel bad

and their entire emotional and energetic state is really

just a reaction to whatever is going on around them.

And that's the default mode and it's completely backwards.

So the actual sequence, the one that every high performing person

eventually figures out, is that energy comes first.

Your internal state proceeds and shapes your external reality,

not the other way around.

Now, the conventional understanding of the energy reality sequence

is that external events determine your internal state, and almost

everyone operates from this assumption without ever really questioning it.

And it feels very obvious.

And it feels obviously true that most people

would never really think to

examine whether there's another way the sequence could work.

Now the default sequence goes like this.

Something happens in your external world.

You react emotionally to that event, and the emotional reaction then determines

your energy for the next period of time, whatever that is.

And that energy influences your behavior, which then influences

your results, which creates the next external event.

And the cycle repeats.

And when you're operating from the default sequence,

your entire life is very reactive,

where your energy is basically determined by whatever happened most recently.

And good days are the ones where good things happen to you, and bad days

are the ones where bad things happen to very common sense, right?

And you have almost no control over the overall trajectory of your experience.

And the default sequence puts you in a position where your state is

always at the mercy of basically external forces, meaning

you're essentially a passenger in your own experience.

And that passenger position is so normalized that most people

don't even realize that there is actually an alternative.

And the inversion of the sequence is basically recognizing

that your internal energy state can be set independently of external circumstances,

and that the energy you bring to a situation essentially shapes

the situation far more than the situation shapes your energy.

So when you set your energy first before any external event,

your energy becomes the cause rather than the effect.

And this is a fundamental shift in how you relate to your own experience,

where you move from being shaped by reality

to shaping reality through the energy you bring to it.

And you've actually experienced this inversion already,

even if you didn't label it this way.

Exactly.

You've had this where you woke up in a great state, right?

And everything seemed to go well.

Even if things weren't going well, it seemed like they were going well,

because now your perception

is different because of your energy and days

where you woke up in a terrible state and everything seemed to go wrong,

happen to.

And the difference wasn't luck.

It was the energy

you were carrying into each interaction, in each decision that day.

And so the mechanism by which energy precedes reality

is actually quite straightforward.

When you break it down and it operates through perception, behavior

and also social dynamics, all of which are directly influenced

by your internal energetic state in ways that compound throughout the entire day.

Now, your energy state directly filters your perception,

meaning when you're in a high energy positive state, you literally see

opportunities and connections and possibilities that are invisible

to you when you're in a low energy negative state.

And this perceptual filtering means that the same objective reality

looks completely different

than depending on what energy you're bringing to it.

Right?

So the brain's reticular activating system selectively highlights information

that matches your current state, which means a competent high energy person

and an anxious, depleted person will walk

through the same room and see completely different things.

Or they might see the same

objective reality, the same exact things, but they will perceive them differently.

Their interpretation of whatever is happening in that room

will be very, very different.

And because their interpretation is different,

they will get different results.

And so these different perceptions, perspectives and interpretations

lead to completely different actions and completely different outcomes.

And the perceptual

filtering compounds throughout the day, where a high energy morning

typically leads to seeing an opportunity that leads to a positive interaction,

that then reinforces the high energy that leads to seeing the next opportunity.

And that upward spiral is essentially the mechanism

by which energy creates reality in real time.

And so your energy state directly determines the quality and character

of your behavior.

Where high energy states produce decisive, creative, proactive behavior.

And you've probably experienced this while low energy states

produce hesitant, reactive, and avoidant behavior, and the behavior

difference alone is really enough to explain a massive divergence

and outcomes between two people in identical circumstances.

So the quality of your work

and your conversations in your decisions and your presence is directly

proportional to the quality of your energy when you're doing that.

And this means that managing your energy is actually the highest leverage

productivity strategy available, higher leverage than time

management or skill development or any other optimization.

And so consistent high energy behavior over time produces compound results

that also look like talent or luck to outside observers,

but are actually just the accumulated output of someone

who's been showing up in a peak state day after day after day.

And so there's also a societal, interpersonal kind of dimension to energy,

where the energy you carry

into any interaction directly influences how other people respond to you.

And this social effect also amplifies the individual effects

of perception and behavior into something way larger.

So energy is contagious in social settings,

meaning the person with the strongest frame and with the strongest energy

in any room tends to set the tone for the entire interaction.

And when you consistently show up with high, clear, intentional energy,

you naturally influence the energy of the people around you,

which changes the dynamics of every interaction in your favor.

And so this energetic influence operates below conscious awareness,

where people don't think about why they feel more engaged

in your presence, or more open or more collaborative around you.

They just do.

And that unconscious influence creates opportunities and connections

that would never emerge if you basically showed up in a depleted or reactive state.

And so the social reciprocity of energy also means that when you bring high energy

into an interaction, people tend to match it and bring their best as well,

which means your energetic investment creates a multiplied return

through the elevated responses of everyone around you.

And over a long time horizons, your consistent

energetic state determines what you attract into your life,

meaning, the people, opportunities, and circumstances that show up

tend to match the frequency you're operating at.

And at the very least, even if they don't, you perceive them

in that way, so you're better off regardless.

And so this attraction dynamic is one of the most powerful

and most misunderstood forces in my opinion, and personal development.

Now, people and opportunities that match your energy are naturally drawn

towards you, while those that don't match tend to fall away.

And this natural matching process, operating over months and years,

gradually reshapes your entire life to essentially reflect

whatever energy you're consistently putting out and its release

a lot to the mirror principle, where who you are

is what you will get right.

And this matching dynamic also means you bear a real responsibility

for your energetic state, where the life you're living right now,

to a significant degree, is a reflection of the energy

you've been consistently carrying and putting out.

And accepting

that responsibility is uncomfortable, but also very necessary for real change.

And while it's uncomfortable,

it is freeing as well,

because if you had the power to get your life to the position

it is in right now, then you also have the power to change, right?

So with that said, let's talk about the control layer.

So energy precedes reality.

That's the principle.

Now the question is how do you actually control your energy.

How do you set it deliberately

rather than letting it be determined by whatever happens to you?

And the answer is that energy control is a skill.

It's something you build through specific practices applied consistently over time.

And the practices are not really complicated.

They're just rarely taught and even more rarely

applied with the discipline that they actually require.

Now, the first step in energy control is awareness, meaning you

develop the ability to accurately perceive your own current energetic state

at any given moment.

And while this sounds very simple, most people

go through their entire day without ever checking in with their own energy level.

And I think that lack of awareness means that they can't manage

what they can't see.

And Charlie Munger said something similar where or at least it's attributed to him,

where you can't improve, which you don't measure. Right.

And I'm paraphrasing here, but you get the gist.

Building a practice of regular energy monitoring throughout the day,

where you pause every hour or two

and honestly assess your current state on a simple scale,

we'll give you data that most people never have,

and most people don't even think that they can do this.

And that data will reveal patterns, triggers, and rhythms

that are the foundation for energy management.

And the monitoring also reveals your personal energy patterns,

meaning the times of day when your energy naturally peaks and dips,

and the activities that energize versus the plea

to and the triggers that shift your state and predictable ways.

And so understanding those patterns is what will allow you

to design your day around them rather than fighting against them,

which a lot of the times is an exercise in futility.

And recording the monitoring data in your journal will also create a record

that reveals micro macro patterns that are invisible in the moment,

like how your sleep quality

may be affected, your energy the next day, or, for example,

how certain types of social interactions consistently drain you.

And those macro patterns

are the most actionable insights for longer term energy optimization.

Now, awareness also includes identifying your specific energy triggers,

both both positive and negative, meaning the people, situations, thoughts,

and environments that predictably shift your energy in a particular direction.

And knowing these triggers will give you the ability to either

seek them out or avoid them deliberately. So.

Identifying your top five energy negative energy triggers and creating

strategies for handling each one, whether that's avoidance or reframing

or preloading a positive state before the exposure, eliminates

the most common sources of energy depletion in your daily life, and equally

identifying your top five positive energy triggers

and deliberately incorporating more of them into your daily routine

creates a base level of energy that's higher than most

what most people experience, and that elevated baseline

will make everything else in your day work better.

For me, that's, for example,

working out if I do it every single day because of that reason.

Right?

It's a positive energy trigger for me.

My whole day just feels better.

And you know, you can prove that by by countless of studies

and research where working out does, in fact increase your energy.

And so you need to find yours.

Maybe that's working out, maybe it's something else.

But once you have awareness,

the next step is really developing the ability to deliberately shift

your state, meaning you can move from a low energy depleted state

to a high energy, resourceful state through intentional practice, rather

than waiting for external circumstances to change your mood.

Now, the fastest and most reliable way to shift

your state is through your body, meaning changes in your physiology

directly and immediately change your emotional and energetic state.

Tony Robbins

said something similar here where he said motion creates emotion, right?

Even two minutes of intense physical movement,

whether that's jumping or walking briskly or doing push ups, produces

a measurable shift in your neurochemistry and your subjective energy level.

And this is the fastest state change tool available,

faster than any mental technique or affirmation.

On top of that, deliberate breathing patterns like box breathing

where you have four counts in four hold for out and four

hold meaning seconds, four seconds in four seconds

hold four seconds out and then four seconds hold again

for calming or rapid breathing for energizing.

All of those will give you precise control over your autonomic nervous system,

which is the master switch for your energetic state.

And so learning to use that twitch deliberately

is one of the most valuable skills you can develop.

And you can by using your breath.

Now, the mental dimension of state control also involves choosing your focus

deliberately, meaning

you direct your own attention towards thoughts, memories, and mental images

that produce the state you want, rather than letting your attention wander

into whatever happens to be most salient or most, most anxious at the most moment.

Now your energy follows your focus with almost perfect correlation.

Meaning whatever you're paying attention to is determining your state.

And this means that managing your attention is managing your energy

and the ability to redirect your attention from depleting

thoughts to energizing ones is a direct lever

on your energetic state and a deliberate morning priming practice.

For example, where you spend the first 10 to 15 minutes of your day intentionally

setting your own.

Focus on your goals, your identity, and your gratitude will establish

an energetic foundation

that carries through the entire day for the rest of the day.

And this is just one example here.

Now, the third piece of energy control is maintenance,

meaning you build daily systems and habits that sustain your energy

throughout the day,

rather than allowing it to crash and requiring constant recovery.

So the foundational energy habits are sleep, nutrition, movement, and hydration.

And yes, they sound super basic,

but most people are underperforming and at least two of these four.

And so the cumulative effect of poor sleep or poor nutrition

or insufficient movement or dehydration or a combination of any of those

is an energy deficit that really no mental technique can actually overcome.

Sleep is the single most impactful variable for daily energy,

and so improving your sleep quality by even 15 to 20% through consistent sleep

times, for example, or reduce

screen exposure before bed or using some kind of blue light blockers.

And a cool, dark room will produce a dramatic improvement

in your baseline energy that it will compound across

every aspect of your performance

for the rest of the day and for the rest of the week.

Honestly, and you might have noticed that even one bad night of sleep

kind of can derail your whole week, right?

And you can't catch up on sleep now.

Daily movement, even 20 to 30 minutes of moderate exercise produces

neurochemical changes that elevate your energy for the entire day.

And the energy investment of the exercise session

will pay back many times over in increased productivity,

clarity and emotional stability throughout the remaining hours.

So you might think that you're wasting time

when in reality movement is a multiplier.

Now, building deliberate recovery periods into your day,

like short breaks between deep work blocks or a brief afternoon

reset, will also prevent the progressive energy depletion

that most people experience as the day goes on.

And those recovery periods will also allow you to maintain

a consistently high energy level from morning to evening,

rather than experiencing the typical afternoon crash.

So working in rhythm with your old tradition

cycles meaning 90 minutes of focused work, followed by anywhere between 15

to 20 minutes of genuine rest, will maintain your energy

at a sustainably high level throughout the whole day.

And also, this rhythmic approach will produce more total output

than the conventional approach of powering through until you crash,

which for a lot of people is not really a lot of focused work anyway.

So the quality of the recovery matters as much as the duration.

And I mentioned this a lot of times where genuine renewal activities

like a brief walk or some stretching or even just sitting quietly

and staring at a wall with zero inputs, produce much better energy

restoration than so-called breaks that involve social media or email or,

I don't know, some watching videos and so on,

which are actually energy draining, disguised as rest.

Now, with that covered, let's move into engineering your energetic output

so you understand the principle energy precedes reality.

You've developed the control layer awareness, state management, maintenance.

Now the final piece is learning

to engineer your energetic output for specific situations and goals.

Meaning you don't just maintain a generally high energy.

You learn to calibrate and direct your energy with precision

towards the outcomes that you want to produce.

So different situations call for different types of energy, right?

If you're having a laid back conversation with a friend,

you're not going to be acting in the same way as you do on a sales call.

Hopefully. Right.

And learning to calibrate your energy to match the needs of each specific

context is what separates someone who generally

who's generally energetic from someone who's strategically powerful,

where the right energy and the right situation produces

outsized results that raw intensity alone can never achieve.

So a creative work session, for example, calls for a more relaxed,

open, exploratory energy, while a negotiation call

maybe needs more grounded, clear, assertive energy and a relationship

conversation calls for a warm, present receptive energy.

So the ability to shift between those modes deliberately matching

your energy to the context

rather than bringing the same energy to every situation, is a sophisticated

skill that produces dramatically better outcomes across every area of your life.

I can tell you how many times I see it where entrepreneurs

work all day their own sales calls, they have negotiation calls, etc.

they maybe are on their computer writing all day, and then they go

with that same energy to their family

and then they wonder why there is a miss.

So many misunderstandings between them and and their significant other.

For example,

it's not the same, right?

You can just completely you can't switch so quickly,

so you're just carrying the same energy.

You carry it all day into your from your business, into your relationship.

And it doesn't work that way.

Energy mismatches, like bringing aggressive energy to a creative session

or scattered energy to a focused task, or what I just

mentioned, are one of the most common and most costly mistakes people make.

And most people don't even realize they're doing it

because they've never learned to distinguish

between different types of energy or to calibrate deliberately.

And the calibration starts before the activity begins,

where you take 30s to a minute or a bit more, maybe five minutes,

to set your energy for the upcoming task or the upcoming situation.

Applying that same priming principle to individual activities

throughout the day, rather than just the morning, and learning

to modulate your intensity, meaning how much energy you're

bringing to any given moment prevents the common pattern of burnout

that comes from running at maximum intensity all the time, and the ability

to dial your energy up for key moments and dial it down for recovery

periods will create a more sustainable high performance over months and years.

So identifying the 2 to 3 moments in your day that benefit most

from peak energy, and then deliberately saving your highest intensity

for those moments rather than spreading it evenly across the entire day,

will produce a much larger total impact from the same total energy budget

and energy conservation during low leverage activities,

meaning you consciously dial down your intensity during, for example,

admin work or some chores around home or errands

for routine tasks and transitions will preserve

your capacity for the high leverage moments that actually matter.

And that conservation mindset will treat your energy

as the finite resource it is.

And now, beyond calibration, you can also learn to direct your energy

towards specific outcomes, meaning you use your energetic state as a tool

for manifestation in the practical, non-medical sense of the word, where

the energy you bring to a goal shapes the actions you take

in the opportunities you see, and therefore shapes the outcome.

So, combining a high energy state

with detailed visualization of your desired outcome

will create a powerful alignment

between your internal state and then your external goals.

And this alignment is the mechanism by which intention translates

into action, and action translates into results.

So the key to effective visualization is really feeling,

meaning you don't just see the outcome in your mind, you feel the energy of having

achieved it in your body.

And that felt sense creates a motivational pull towards the outcome.

That's far more powerful than just intellectual,

you know, logical goal setting alone and incorporating this visualization

plus energy practice into your daily routine, even for just 3 to 5 minutes,

creates a sustained energetic direction that accumulates over time

and then gradually pulls your behavior, your perception, and your circumstances

into alignment with the outcome you're actually holding in your energy.

And so

you can also learn to transmit your energy intentionally in social situations,

meaning you deliberately use your energetic state

to influence the dynamics of a conversation,

or a meeting, or a presentation or a sales call, etc.

and this transmission capacity is what separates people

who are merely energetic from people who are genuinely influential.

This is what we used to also learn in sales when I was in sales

is that sales is, to a big degree,

a transfer of energy, a transfer of state.

Right.

The foundation of energetic transmission is presence, meaning

you're fully in the moment with your attention and your energy.

Focus on the person or the people you're with or the situation you're in,

and that full presence is filled by everyone else, and it creates

a quality of connection that distracted, scattered energy simply cannot produce.

And I had big trouble with this because I would always be in my head

when in reality I was never present on

on these calls for, for a, for a big amount of time.

And so that is also a skill by itself.

Learning to be there,

learning to be in the moment, not thinking about what you're going to say next,

but actually listening, actually taking everything in.

And so energetic transmission at scale is, I think, what leadership

is to a big degree, where the leader is energy, sets the tone for the entire team

or organization as well for an entire company.

I think to a big degree, culture in a company is really

a transfer of state and energy

and developing the capacity to hold a strong, clear,

intentional energy in group settings is, I think, one of the most practically

valuable skills that you can develop for any professional context.

And the long term path of energy mastery is learning to maintain a consistently

high, clear, intentional energy state as your default, where the elevated state

isn't something

you have to manufacture every morning, but something that arises naturally

from the practices, the identity work, and the self-awareness you've built.

As the practice has become more integrated into who you are

rather than things you do, the energy management becomes automatic,

meaning you don't have to think about controlling your energy anymore

because your default state is already high, clear and aligned.

And that automatic high state is the compound result of everything

we've talked about here the awareness, the state control, the maintenance,

the calibration, the direction, and the natural high energy state

feels effortless in a way that manufactured energy will never do,

where you're not really pumping yourself up or forcing positivity,

you're simply operating from a baseline that's been elevated

through consistent practice, which is what we really want.

We don't want to be faking our high energy.

We want to create it and and basically raise that baseline

so that we can always be high energy.

And that effortless quality is both the sinner

and the reward of genuine energy mastery.

And so the natural state is sustainable in a way that force

high energy isn't where you can maintain it indefinitely,

because it's not being generated through willpower or stimulation,

or trying to hype yourself up or downing 1000mg of caffeine or whatever.

It's arising from the depth of your self-awareness,

the clarity of your identity, and also the alignment

of your daily practices with your values and goals.

And the ultimate expression of energy mastery is living in a reality

that you shape through your consistent energetic output

where the people around you,

the opportunities available to you, the circumstances of your daily life,

all of them reflect the energy you've been putting out for months and years.

And that reflection is proof that the principle is real

and that the work works.

So at this level, you're no longer managing your energy to cope with reality.

You're using your energy to create reality.

And the distinction between those two things

is the distinction between surviving and truly living, between reacting

to what happens and authoring what happens.

And so everything we've talked through here, the principle

that energy precedes reality, the awareness and state management tool,

the calibration and direction of your energetic output,

all of it points to one thing learning to control the energy

you put into the world before it turns into the reality you live in.

And that's the whole game.

So with that said, let's cover the review.

We talked about the energy precedes reality principle, the control layer,

engineering, your energetic output, the review, and finally your action

items for the day or the next few days.

First, start tracking your energy state three times per day morning, midday

and evening in your journal, noting the level maybe 1 to 10, maybe

1 to 100, the quality and also the primary influence on each reading.

And then do this for two weeks to establish your personal energy patterns

and identify your biggest dreams and biggest boosters.

Then design a ten minute morning energy priming routine that includes

physical movement, deliberate breathing, and visualization of your desired state

for the day, and then commit to doing it every morning

for 30 days before evaluating the results.

And then finally choose your three highest leverage activities this week and before

each one spent 60s deliberately setting the specific type and intensity

of energy that the activity requires, and then journal afterwards

about how the preset energy influenced the quality of your output.

With that said, I hope you enjoyed this.

I hope it was valuable if you want to work with me one on one.
