Prioritize changing your fundamental energy state (e.g., from needy to peaceful) before trying to alter your thoughts, feelings, or actions, as energy is the root of all subsequent experiences.
Start by realizing you are already enough and perfect, as feeling a lack blocks your creative process and nothing external can truly complete or make you more worthy.
Understand that your true worth comes from your internal state, not from external achievements or manifestations, as attaching worth to external things can lead to emptiness.
When faced with a challenge or resistance, the solution is to let go of something (an old idea, a fixed belief) rather than trying to add more to resolve the conflict.
Practice letting go of old ideas and fixed notions about yourself and the world, as this process is the key to experiencing true freedom.
Reframe your understanding of self from being a product of your past experiences to choosing who you want to be now, recognizing that your present choice influences how you perceive your past.
Strive to identify with the pure “I Am” state, before attaching any labels or roles (e.g., “I am a doctor,” “I am good”), as these attachments limit your true, boundless potential.
Actively make friends with the unknown aspects of life and yourself, as this is the most crucial step to deeply connecting with your true self.
Take a “punt on trust” by starting with self-trust, even if you feel let down by others, as this internal trust will naturally radiate outwards and foster trust in the world.
Regularly check your energy state, asking “How do I want it to be?” and strive to cultivate a peaceful, quiet, compassionate, and gently excited energy, as this state brings clarity to all your actions.
Develop greater conscious awareness in your daily life to better tune into moments of internal resistance, which serve as opportunities for growth and letting go.
To understand your core energy, become more interested in how you are seeing things and how you are feeling in the present moment, as these are closer to your fundamental energy state than your thoughts or actions.
Ask yourself “How am I right now?” and understand that the “answer” isn’t a new thought, but the dissolution of the question itself, leading to clarity and release.
Unfix your absolute ideas by realizing that there is no single objective truth, but rather a reality that stems from your energy system, and by changing your energy, you can change your reality.
Engage in the process of dreaming and exploring your desires in life, conjuring up excitement and passion, as the act of dreaming itself is powerful and brings enjoyment, whereas the realization of the dream might not.
Approach your dreams with the boundless, unattached possibility of a child, rather than with worry or a rigid attachment to specific outcomes, which can limit your creative flow.
When dreaming, focus on the expansive joy of how great everything can be, setting your desires in motion from this positive energy to allow for natural, boundless creative expansion.
Strive for an effortless approach in your creative process, as trying too hard often stems from a needy, obsessive drive rather than true creative flow.
Shift your interest from fixed ideas about your identity and what you “should” do, to understanding and cultivating your underlying energy state.
Engage playfully with your memories by releasing the emotional attachments that bind them, allowing you to reframe past events and integrate them in a way that serves your present self.
By re-evaluating and “opening up” your past (through releasing emotional attachments to memories), you simultaneously open up possibilities for your future and reignite your capacity to dream freely.
Assess your current energy state by observing the clarity and uninterrupted nature of your dreams; if your dreams are easily interrupted by self-doubt or limiting beliefs, it indicates a need to work on your energy.
Cultivate the freedom to not over-focus on external events, as excessive attention to “what’s happening around us” can limit your perception of possibilities and hinder your creative process.
Approach everything with playfulness, finding beauty, grace, humor, and love in all situations to create space for new possibilities; if you struggle with this, focus on improving your underlying energy state.
When feeling stuck or stressed, physically remove yourself from the situation (e.g., go for a walk) to relax, rather than trying to “solve it” through continuous thinking, which can exacerbate negative emotional states.
View preparation and performance as a single, integrated process, rather than separate stages, by fully engaging in every moment as if it were the “big moment.”
Strive to be fully present and authentic in each moment and role, metaphorically “taking off” one identity and “putting on” another, to avoid carrying mental baggage between different parts of your life.
Evaluate your “preparation” by asking how involved and fully engaged you are in the present moment, rather than focusing on how you are preparing for future events.
Be honest with yourself about your current state, recognizing if you are “skipping the now” in anticipation of a better future, and redirect your focus to fully experiencing the present.
Approach mundane tasks without frustration or resistance, as these negative emotions pull you out of the present moment and create unnecessary physical tension and stress in your body.
Recognize that resisting “what is” and holding emotional tension creates real physical stress in your body, leading to tension and potential health issues, so practice letting go.
Be aware of the constant interplay between stress (energy out) and recovery (energy in), and consciously integrate recovery into your daily life rather than deferring it.
Aim to operate in a state where you are recovering and performing (or healing and expending energy) simultaneously, by aligning your actions with your true desires and worthiness, reducing the need for extensive separate recovery periods.
Clear limiting ideas about the potential of any given moment, even mundane ones, by stepping out of your own way and being receptive to unexpected interactions or opportunities that may arise.
Recognize that limitations on what can happen in a moment or with a person are often self-imposed choices, and challenge these beliefs to open up new possibilities.
Trust that everything in your path serves a purpose for mutual growth; instead of over-analyzing, simply allow experiences, people, or ideas to unfold and reveal their lessons.
Cultivate strong, positive energy for your desires, as this intensity will attract more opportunities and circumstances to serve your goals.
Look beyond the surface of actions or concepts like dreaming, motivation, or success, and instead examine the underlying energy and intention driving them, as this determines their true impact.
Understand that resisting something often causes it to persist; therefore, practice letting go of resistance to allow for change and flow.
Recognize that “permission” to heal or change often comes from within, not from external circumstances; actively give yourself permission to let go of old patterns and beliefs.
Engage in practices like meditation and other “non-self-serving” activities, as these can provide the internal permission needed to let go and heal.
Cultivate happiness by connecting with a sense of inherent worth and practicing gratitude for simply being alive, as this fosters immediate and deep engagement with life.
Seek joy through full engagement and involvement in life, rooted in gratitude for your existence and the recognition that you deserve what you want simply by being here.
Acknowledge your inherent importance to the universe and life itself, understanding that your presence is essential for existence to be “all it can be,” which can foster a deep sense of belonging and purpose.
Practice being receptive to what life offers, as this openness allows you to receive and recognize the lessons and opportunities that are constantly being presented.
In conversations and explorations, practice “probing” with questions to understand, and then “allowing” the answers to unfold without judgment or immediate control.
Continuously expand your ideas about who you are, recognizing that your true self has no boundaries, and this expansion brings you closer to your infinite potential.
Cultivate a state of being “unknown” to yourself, embracing curiosity and excitement about not having a fixed identity, rather than clinging to past certainties.
Live with the understanding that you’ll never “arrive” at a final answer, viewing every moment as an opportunity in a “car garage” of infinite choices, enjoying each one without becoming attached.
When triggered by criticism or negativity, welcome it as an opportunity for self-reflection and growth, rather than trying to prove yourself or deflect.
Actively seek out experiences or feedback that can “shine a bright light” on hidden aspects of yourself, even uncomfortable ones, as this helps you uncover and address what needs clearing.
Remember that deep down, most people share the fundamental desire for freedom and happiness, which can be a basis for connection and understanding.
To foster deeper connections, ask people about what they truly want in life or what holds them back, as these fundamental questions often reveal common ground.
Abandon judgmental language and attitudes towards others, recognizing that everyone is equally valuable and worthy, which frees you from the need to compare or put others down to feel better about yourself.
Allow conversations to naturally gravitate towards deeper, more meaningful topics, as people often desire to discuss growth and self-discovery regardless of the initial subject.
Practice reading the energy and receptiveness of others in conversation, adjusting your communication to meet them where they are, rather than imposing your own agenda.
Understand that everyone faces valid challenges and operates from their current energy state; recognize that no one is inherently better or worse, fostering compassion and non-judgment.
To truly understand others, focus on the deep work of knowing yourself first, as your capacity to know others is directly linked to your self-knowledge.
Offer your “full self” to others by continuously working on removing internal blocks that prevent you from being authentic, as this self-work is the greatest respect you can show and enables others to be fully themselves around you.
Move beyond mere tolerance to genuine compassion by stripping away superficial judgments (age, appearance, story) and recognizing the deeper, shared purpose behind every human interaction.
Be open and receptive to constructive criticism and suggestions from others, using their input as an opportunity for mutual growth and improvement.
After listening, identify at least one actionable insight that resonates with you and commit to introducing it into your own life.
