00;00;54;28 - 00;01;20;13

Okay. So hi, I'm MaryRuth, and this is our second episode of the Move Forward Everyday podcast. And I am so thrilled to introduce someone who is super special to me. We've been working together for almost three years. I think I met you, Eric, January February of 2022. Do you think that that's accurate? I think we met 2021.
00;01;20;19 - 00;01;57;05
Unknown
Maybe. That's crazy. Yeah, like, I think it was. When was your personal year one? Whatever year that was. Because I read your numbers at Cryo. Yeah, whenever you had your last shot. But what year was that? Yeah. So I definitely think I was probably 2021. Right. Yeah. So okay, so first, before we get started with our morning and nighttime routine, which is what the Move Forward Every Day podcast is about, I just wanted to say that you are my executive coach and, not even weekly, but pretty much every single day I, Monday through Friday, sometimes on the weekend.
00;01;57;05 - 00;02;19;21
Unknown
But I try to try to keep it to Monday through Friday. Yeah, you are always there for me. Anyone who knows myself and the mayor with organics team knows that I prefer text messaging. So you are an amazing coach and I am so honored. I mean, it was a no brainer for me when I said, who should be the second episode of our move for an everyday podcast.
00;02;19;28 - 00;02;42;14
Unknown
And for sure it's you. You have helped me personally and professionally myself, my four children Ethan, Eliot, Jacob and Grace. You have helped my entire family and definitely the brand to move forward every day. So I appreciate you so much and I am so excited for our audience to get to know a little bit more about Eric's morning and nighttime routines.
00;02;42;14 - 00;03;03;23
Unknown
So we are just going to jump right in. Yes. Let's do it. Okay, so let's start with the obvious one. I would just love for you to share with people, as the main purpose of this podcast is to just have 30 minutes where we get to really, really hear nothing performative, but just truly what your morning routine would look like at this season in your life.
00;03;03;23 - 00;03;30;16
Unknown
So I always say that people's morning and nighttime routines will change. Like whatever challenge they're going through, whatever season of their life. But currently, what does it look like for you? And please also share anything you would like us to just know about your life currently. Well, right now it's been really busy. We're in the month of April and it's been very like, going and going and going and I'm trying to catch up to myself.
00;03;30;18 - 00;03;54;02
Unknown
But anyway, my morning routine is prayer. I do prayer five minutes of breathwork, I meditate for five minutes. I write down my affirmations, I take my vitamins, I go to the gym. Amazing. I love that Eric said he takes his vitamins. Hope everyone heard that. I heard that like, no. For real? Yeah, I take my minerals. Yeah, I have my favorite probiotics and omegas, you know, peptides and vitamin D.
00;03;54;02 - 00;04;23;15
Unknown
I got all the things. Yeah. However, what I'm saying is this month I haven't been and had a chance to really slow down and do my proper morning routine because I've been so overstimulated and so busy, and everybody needs my time and my energy and I'm like, whoa, I'm just giving them everything and nothing to myself. So prayer helps me to calm down when I'm busy, and breath work really drops me into my body that I.
00;04;23;17 - 00;04;40;00
Unknown
After you share your morning routine and what time your routine starts and what time it ends. Yeah. Can I come back to the breath work part? For sure. Yeah, yeah. So you know how long? Yeah. Like, what time do you like waking up and about how long does it take to complete? Well it depends. So sometimes I have clients at 5 a.m..
00;04;40;06 - 00;05;06;25
Unknown
Sometimes I have clients at 6 a.m.. I have a lot of clients on the East Coast. Yes, because. Exactly. So most times I'm up 5:30, 5:45. And what time are you going to bed? Between 9:35... 10:20. Yeah. If I'm in bed at 11:00, and I get up at 6:00, I feel like I'm hungover. Yes, literally. I don't know why I don't even drink, but I need to be in bed before 11:00.
00;05;06;26 - 00;05;24;14
Unknown
Yeah, I have to just inject this in here. So there is a lot of research that the hours from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. are double the hormone healing sleep. So that means like if you are falling asleep at 11, you missed just one hour of the double the hormone healing sleep. So I just want to throw that in there.
00;05;24;14 - 00;05;43;09
Unknown
That definitely 10 p.m. bedtime. Or like what you're doing, which is very aspirational, like 9:35 and then like you said, wake up 5:00, 5:30, but continue. Yes. And what else do you want to know? How long? Yeah. So so what time? Yeah. How long is it basically taking you, is there like the speed version.
00;05;43;09 - 00;06;04;27
Unknown
Because I have like the two versions. There's like the faster version. Yeah. And then the longer version. So how long would you say your whole morning routine lasts? I would say a good between 18 and 25 minutes. Like a good. If I'm not rushing myself. But if you want to kind of take that time down, I would say about 9 to 11 minutes.
00;06;04;27 - 00;06;23;20
Unknown
That's amazing. Yeah. You might be the only guest with such a fast morning routine that's very impressive. Because I realize I don't need as much time to drop into what I need for me, because, you know, you get these things and 20 minute meditation. Oh, no, that's amazing. I'm like no less, short. Less is more. No.
00;06;23;20 - 00;06;42;01
Unknown
I want the record to show. How old are you? I would say, yeah. 37. Yeah. Okay. So you're male? 37. I think I think you have a girlfriend. Yeah. And so this is an example of with less is more. Yeah. And you can still have a morning routine and I think you said 18 to 25 minutes. Yeah.
00;06;42;01 - 00;06;56;22
Unknown
That's amazing. That's amazing! Every day I don't mind I probably get to this later. I make sure I send my girlfriend a prayer every morning. Yeah. So when I get out of breath, work in a voice style attack. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, tell everybody how special the voice memo texting is. A lot of people don't use.
00;06;56;23 - 00;07;15;06
Unknown
Yeah. Voice memo is so good because it allows you time. Instead of typing, you get to speak. But for me, I think I'm a better speaker than I am a writer. Because if I'm writing a prayer versus speaking one, I feel like I get to channel the best prayer through my voice and through my hands. The frequency of the voice.
00;07;15;06 - 00;07;38;22
Unknown
Yeah. So. And she feels your energy, right? So intentionally. My thing is to do it after breath work because I'm more in my body, I'm dropping into a deeper. I'm like in I'm grounded in my body. I'm not so much in my, my headspace when I'm praying. So I can kind of call in a more profound prayer. And so that keeps me consistent within my partnership and relating where I know no matter what, every morning she's getting a prayer.
00;07;38;25 - 00;07;55;23
Unknown
Regardless, of what I got going on. I love that. Even if it's like an hour late. I got to do it because that keeps me accountable. That keeps me anchored into what we're building outside of the noise, outside of what I think I need to do. And prior to that, I also say a prayer for myself before I say a prayer for her.
00;07;55;29 - 00;08;15;28
Unknown
So there's two prayers in the morning. I also love, love, and I want to call it out that you are saying a prayer for yourself first. Yeah. Which is after so many years. I'm 41 now and four children I realize you have to do this first. And I have a favorite saying the way we love ourselves is how we love others.
00;08;15;28 - 00;08;38;18
Unknown
Yeah. And so I feel like you praying for yourself first and then sending her a voice memo prayer is so awesome. The perfect marriage is the marriage of self. Yeah. And I learned it in my last relationship that didn't go too well because when you make your partnership God and not God the Creator within your God, then your relationship fails because you're putting everything on a relationship.
00;08;38;20 - 00;08;59;16
Unknown
It's like a dollar tree. You're putting all these things that we can see, touch, feel, 3D, more powerful than the Creator that we serve, that's giving us all this light that we get to live. So I like to tune and tap in and stay dialed in, in prayer because it keeps me calm. It relaxes me and allows me to be more, have more clarity in my mind.
00;08;59;22 - 00;09;20;11
Unknown
Yeah, yeah. So before we get to the nighttime routine, please, the reason I'm asking is for my own benefit. So, many nice things during your morning routine, but can you talk about breath work? I that is one of my weakest things in the health and wellness world. I have such a struggle breathing. And it's because of the stress.
00;09;20;11 - 00;09;37;04
Unknown
Yeah. So please, can you share with us just what? Because I feel like if it's, it's short, I might be able to do it. Like you said, it's not like doing that. So let me hear people's vessel so I can really make sense. Yeah. Breath work is prayer for the body. Just know that when I meditate, my mind is still ruminating.
00;09;37;08 - 00;09;57;02
Unknown
I'm still thinking about what I have to do, what's going on. Breath work gets you out of your mind. You can't. You can't be thinking and breathing. You need to breathe during this podcast. So when you're doing the intense, you know, deep breath work, you're not in your mind. You can't be. So it allows you to be more present, more in the moment, more in your body.
00;09;57;04 - 00;10;11;09
Unknown
Prayer for your body. Prayer for your body. So now, once I have that prayer for my body, my prayer for others is that much potent. I mean, I've even sent you prayers through breath work, you probably don't even know it. I'm, I'm like, oh my God, send MaryRuth a prayer. That's right. I'm sending a prayer. That's why I'm more channeled.
00;10;11;09 - 00;10;33;03
Unknown
I'm on tuned. I'm more connected to my higher self where I'm listening because my channel is so lit. It's so lit up because I'm more grounded and anchored in, in the earth of my body. I'm at home in my body and not at the roof of my body, which is the home, right? My mind. Yes. And I also just wanted to share again, for anyone who's new to these kinds of concepts, that and maybe you want to comment as well.
00;10;33;05 - 00;10;55;22
Unknown
Like when you're breathing correctly, the body really needs oxygen. Yeah, I need oxygen to fight viruses, bacteria, all these things. So do you feel like a little high afterwards from breathing? Yeah. Deep like DMT. Like really deep breathing. Really. It's like a your body is on a high like you like a high in life right now. I always say life is in your breath and in your mind.
00;10;55;25 - 00;11;12;12
Unknown
Right. But the body keeps the score. So if I'm always here, which have been good as for so long. And you know, you know that I'm very guilty of that. Yeah. And you always say that I should ground myself more. I should step into my body more because my head is always thinking, okay, what is what do the kids need next?
00;11;12;12 - 00;11;31;02
Unknown
What does the business need next? When is when am I picking them up from school? What's happening? When is dinner? Yeah. Anybody holds all the wisdom, the mind keeps the knowledge. But if you can't ground that knowledge into the body, you can't really get the wisdom. So that's what I'm learning. And I'm like, you and I are just saying we kind of relate in that space where I'm so I can figure stuff out like this.
00;11;31;02 - 00;11;50;02
Unknown
I'm so intellectual. Oh, but when this is tired, what do I have? No, it's I'm off. It's really off. Oh well yeah, I'm definitely off this week. Everybody just putting that out there for the podcast. Okay. We would love to hear from you just your nighttime routine and what time does it start? We are you already shared.
00;11;50;02 - 00;12;08;17
Unknown
You go to bed between 9:35 10:20. Yeah. So I try to start my night routine probably 30 minutes before bed because right before bed, I try to do it. I'm just so lazy. I'm so tired. I'm like, I don't want to write on the pen. I don't want to call in anything I want to manifest.
00;12;08;24 - 00;12;27;01
Unknown
I have, you know, I do my affirmations. So affirmations I'm writing them down because it's good to do affirmations right before bed because that's when your subconscious is wide open. All right. So I do my affirmations. I have this saying, every day, in every way. I'm getting better and better. Every day, in every way.
00;12;27;01 - 00;12;45;16
Unknown
I'm getting better and better. I say that ten times. That actually, even right now in this moment, is relaxing me. And I feel like, oh, I wish I could take a nap thinking about that. So yeah, yes, every day, in every way I'm getting better and better and I say that 10 times. And then there's another saying. Thank you for showing me.
00;12;45;16 - 00;13;18;00
Unknown
I whisper like it's like they call it like a whisper prayer. Thank you for showing me that this issue is already solved. So whatever issue I might be dealing with unconsciously, consciously, life, problems, family, friends, client. Creator. God. Thank you for showing that this issue is already solved. So this is all subconscious. It's embedded in my subconscious and then I pray and then I put on my binaural beats or I might listen to like sleep affirmations around manifestation, abundance, peace, prosperity because I have to rewire my subconscious why it's at rest.
00;13;18;03 - 00;13;37;03
Unknown
So that's what I do. Yeah, I was talking to, a hormone doctor about cortisol. Yeah. And they were just saying that, you know, sometimes people are like, okay, in order to get my cortisol under control, I need to try to be calm all day. But that's really hard for some people because their days are back to back meetings or whatever it might be.
00;13;37;03 - 00;13;57;03
Unknown
So they were saying the off ramp, like whether your off ramp is 7 p.m. or 8 p.m., just first try to master the off ramp where even if your day was a little bit stressful, things didn't go your way. Whatever it is, the off ramp is so important and I think an off ramp like would be like the wind down the nighttime routine.
00;13;57;03 - 00;14;17;14
Unknown
Like what you're saying. Like, where you saying all these positive affirmations. The call out for me is that even if you can't say positive affirmations all day, I think it is crucial. Like you're saying before bed, this off ramp, this kind of calming down in the body and, and rewiring the brain. Yeah. To say these things definitely before bed would be very powerful for people.
00;14;17;17 - 00;14;36;16
Unknown
Yeah. And the thing is to people listening that's going to watch this, this is I've been experiencing this for a long time. So I like to do experiments. Let's see because, you know, you hear it, but I have to live it. So at one point in my life, I was having a very tough time for a lot of months, I didn't know what to do.
00;14;36;18 - 00;14;52;18
Unknown
And I said, you know what? I got to get back to the basics. This is so important. You know, I have to get back to the basics. I gotta do my daily prayers. I gotta do my affirmations. Because when you do it so much in and you manifest, you forget. You get comfortable, life takes off and things are great.
00;14;52;20 - 00;15;11;15
Unknown
But I was having a rough patch in life like my prayers wasn't connecting as much. Working out was was working, but I still was back in this vulnerable, disconnected state. And I said, okay, Eric, you're going to go back to the basics. And so another thing I would do, I would take the Bible, I'll go to Proverbs. I love Proverbs, it's one of my favorite parts of the Bible.
00;15;11;17 - 00;15;34;05
Unknown
And whatever that day was, I would read that at night and then I would read that in the morning and then pray, breath work. I mean, not before work affirmations, the sayings I just told you. And I want to share a story because I was having such a rough time. This is when I was going through a dark night of the soul, and I didn't know what to do, like I was literally in my apartment by myself, heartbroken, crying like I was like, why?
00;15;34;05 - 00;15;56;26
Unknown
Why me? And that's the moment I knew I can't depend on people to get me right. I had to depend on my God right? And so I said, okay, let's do it. And then the days went by and next thing you know, I had to clear some people out of my life and, you know, detach from all emotions and then magic, like magic happen, like all these beautiful things came in like more opportunities, more abundance.
00;15;56;26 - 00;16;15;29
Unknown
And I was like, ahhhh. The reason we have a morning and a night routine is to anchor ourselves into an energetic state and space not only of gratitude or an abundance, but to receive. Right, they say in Kabbalah, to receive right. But when we're in a state of a low frequency, we can't receive. We only receiving things on that frequency.
00;16;16;01 - 00;16;36;26
Unknown
So these things, these little tangible little things that might be tedious, it's going to benefit your energy because your currency is your energy. This is how we met, right? Energy. And so everything we're doing is to amplify a vibration, to change our frequency, to be in a space where we're receiving great things that we're calling in. So this is why.
00;16;36;26 - 00;17;00;22
Unknown
And you got to do it over and over and over until, you know, not until you get it. But you just it has to be, I think, for your whole life and repetitive. And I think one of the reasons I love athletes so much is they have these routines, and I call it healing through repetition. Or one of the mentors I used to have in New York City used to say, like what you said, like doing the same thing over and over again.
00;17;00;22 - 00;17;23;01
Unknown
It's like healing through repetition until healing occurs for that specific issue. Yeah. And so that's really why I wanted to talk about this particular topic as like the theme of this particular podcast is morning and nighttime routines. And who uses them, who doesn't really use them when they're using them? What is it like when they stop using them?
00;17;23;01 - 00;17;44;14
Unknown
What is it like? And so do you have something currently that you are either, like a goal that you're working on now, or a goal from the past where you felt like because you had the discipline to have a morning and nighttime routine, you you're able to achieve this micro macro goal in your own life. That's a great question.
00;17;44;16 - 00;18;06;09
Unknown
Well, I'll start with the physical component. So I have a buddy who challenged me. It's like, hey E, I do about 100 pushups a day and 300 crunches. Okay? So I said, okay, that's what I'm going to do. And so for 4 or 5 months, I did 100 push ups and 300 crunches every day. No, I do like ten. Like every day.
00;18;06;10 - 00;18;28;10
Unknown
Oh my goodness. Oh, you got to take it up. So I took it to 400. Oh my gosh. But what I realize is not about what I was getting from the work. Exercise is what I was becoming. So after two weeks, my body was like 400 crunches, 100 pushups. So I was wiring my subconscious to tell me, like, this is what I'm doing.
00;18;28;12 - 00;18;51;22
Unknown
And then I felt stronger in my body, my core felt stronger. I was standing, you know, better, taller posture because of this little subtle challenge. He didn't challenge me, but he challenged me. I said, you know what? I need something to hold me accountable. And so now I'm like, I'm. I think I'm still at 400. So that 100. But now I can kind of like mix in what I want and how I want to do it.
00;18;51;24 - 00;19;08;19
Unknown
But you need something to look forward to. It's like a job. And I think most times we live outside of ourselves and not inside. So what is your internal life like? What is your internal being? So for me, that helped my physicality, stay in check, just in a different way, because even if I don't go in the gym, I'm still doing my crunches.
00;19;08;19 - 00;19;33;03
Unknown
I'm still not going to push ups. Right. And then I think the prayer thing with my girlfriend, I started probably about four months ago. And let me tell you, something changed. It changed our relationship, right? Yeah. Like literally because I want to, I want to see how powerful my prayers are. And every time I pray and every time I call these things in it happens on top of it, I have affirmations dedicated to her.
00;19;33;08 - 00;19;52;27
Unknown
So every night. So nice. So I'm want to have this experiment to really call it into my life where I'm not just saying it is actually I'm embodying it and it's changing the course of where I'm going. So those two things, because those are the most important things to me in my body, you know what I'm saying?
00;19;52;27 - 00;20;11;04
Unknown
My vibration and a person is close to my heart is my woman. So I have to make sure that's, you know, in the right space. And I think when you when you do that, you just get more bang within the universe for other things that come in, because you have the discipline, you have the boundary. And it's a must do.
00;20;11;04 - 00;20;32;29
Unknown
It's not should or I could I must do this. No. Do you think two things that I want to touch upon. One is just the concept of self-discipline? Yeah. So I love speaking with high schoolers. And I always try to say to them, you know, and I'm sure you've heard this before, but that self-discipline is very similar to self-love.
00;20;33;02 - 00;20;56;13
Unknown
And then going back to that quote, like, we love other people the way we love ourselves. And so I find that if people are able to write, write down what they're going to do and then do what they say they're going to do, it builds self-confidence, self-esteem, more discipline, and that discipline allows them to really love themselves, and therefore they can love other people.
00;20;56;16 - 00;21;18;25
Unknown
And sometimes, you know, especially in the younger teenagers, they feel maybe like jealous or insecure or worried about their peers. And I always encourage them if you can pick your lane, if you can double, triple down in your lane, if you can have a little self-discipline, they start to have their own self-esteem, self-confidence, and then less.
00;21;18;25 - 00;21;50;19
Unknown
It's less about the people around them and more about their own journey. And so I just wanted to call out because we were sharing, like having that self-discipline is, is very exciting. Like, what would it be like to pray every single day, make a voice memo for my girlfriend? What is the compound effect of that? And that's another one of my favorite themes that I always want to mention on the podcast is this accumulative idea of when you do a small micro action every day and week after week, month after month, year after year.
00;21;50;19 - 00;22;13;12
Unknown
What does that look like and what does that compound into? And that I find very exciting, which is what you just said. You said like you want to see. Yeah, I want to see it. You want to see what? What miracles or what level? Like your connection, your relationship with her. If you're adding this into your, morning routine because you said the voice memos are part of the morning routine, what does that compounding into?
00;22;13;12 - 00;22;33;00
Unknown
And that's very exciting. And, you know, day is different. But sometimes I'm surprised by her impact. Yes. Because you don't I don't know what she's thinking about, what she's going through or growing through that night. She might be dreaming about something. So it made me realize like, oh, this is actually having an effect on not only her mind and her body, but her soul and is bringing us closer together.
00;22;33;02 - 00;22;50;04
Unknown
Open up my heart to receive and get out of my ego and get more to my higher self. But I do want to say something about believing in yourself and putting yourself first. Self love and self discipline. There is a thread out there in the world that tells people, don't be too confident, don't be too cocky, don't be too arrogant.
00;22;50;06 - 00;23;08;01
Unknown
So when I think from the shadow side of that of someone like people afraid to be, to believe in themselves or to be great, or to be confident because you need to look out for others and you need to share and you need to give. Like where I come from, it's more survivor's remorse. You have guilt around success.
00;23;08;01 - 00;23;29;07
Unknown
You have guilt around progress, and most people don't know how to go within and make it about themselves because others will say, so you're selfish. Even for me, living in Baltimore, coming to LA you be on a few shows. Oh, you're Hollywood, you take it, you take a hit, it takes a hit. You know, like, really, I'm not Hollywood. I've been out here 15 years.
00;23;29;09 - 00;23;49;21

You didn't say that when I wasn't on TV. I mean, I've been Hollywood, if that's the case. All right, so I do want to say play out the noise. To be great, to be amazing. To be successful, you need self-discipline. And self-discipline is self-love. Yeah. My entire life I wanted to be great, but I didn't know part of greatness was loving yourself.
00;23;49;23 - 00;24;09;01

I was always disciplined. Ironed my clothes. I took the same route to school, ate the same. For what? The practice. At the same time I was like, I'm going to get this. Chipping away. Chipping away, compound interest. Yeah. Yes. Say that again. Compound interest. Thank you. Thank you everyone. Right. So remember stick to the plan of action.
00;24;09;07 - 00;24;34;07

Stay consistent. And there's going to be days when you don't want to do it. But I have this thing I know this from a girlfriend because she shares it. Responsibility over feelings. Your feelings are temporary. Responsibility over feelings. Because we say. Oh, it's so painful. So I'm thinking of certain things I don't want to do. No, absolutely. Straight up. It's like responsibility over the thing for some people.
00;24;34;07 - 00;24;54;13

I said, well, if I was going to give you 100K to do that, would you do it? Well... Oh, well see how your energy changed? I just give you incentive to do it. So now you're doing this. What changed? Totally meaning your capacity is you can totally do it. Right! I used to say that I swear, because it sounds like I'm just piggybacking off of what you said.
00;24;54;13 - 00;25;13;18
Unknown
But before I had liquid vitamins and I just had a private practice, I used to say to people, I'd tell them, please stop eating dinner at 7 p.m. and then they would say, or text like, this is really hard. It's 8:45 and I'm really hungry. And I would say, like, like you can have a snack if you want, but if I told you tomorrow morning I would give you $1 million.
00;25;13;18 - 00;25;31;14
Unknown
Yeah. You would totally be okay with just waiting till breakfast. So it's, it's very reflective that you just use a very similar example because the willpower, the self-discipline, it's in there. It's just a fight. You got to fight and you got to bring it out. And it's funny, like you said, if someone gives you an incentive, somehow it becomes easier.
00;25;31;14 - 00;25;55;04
Unknown
But you already have the strength inside. Yes. So I always challenge myself like, no, let's go. How does the Embody Spiritual Fitness guy show up? I don't care about how you feel. What are we getting done? Because also people listening, watching everything. It's not about you. It's bigger than you. Sometimes Mary, I don't feel my best, but like I'm going to say it all day long on the podcast.
00;25;55;06 - 00;26;12;21
Unknown
It's okay. Me too. Great. But I might say a prayer and change somebody's life, but they don't know how I feel off. Yeah, they don't know. I'm feeling like, oh, I got it today. Yeah, but I got more than they might have. And just that little word. So powerful. So I realized my design in this lifetime is bigger than me.
00;26;12;21 - 00;26;35;29
Unknown
I know I'm here to raise the frequency of the collective and to teach humanity how to love themselves unconditionally. And show up when you don't want to because it's not about you. It's not about us. It's about we. I'm not attached to the identify of, well, no one cares. You're here for a larger calling. So do you want the life you said you want or you just want to talk about it?
00;26;36;01 - 00;26;55;19
Unknown
Yeah. So the big picture is how do I add value to my life so I can add value to others? What information do I need? How much rest do I need to get? How much rest? That's my, New Year's. So as you know, Eric is my coach. Everyone and I only have. Well, I had two. I had two New Year's resolutions for this year 2025.
00;26;55;22 - 00;27;17;09
Unknown
First one we already mentioned it is rest. Just try to sleep. So I am making a little progress. And the second one was just to kind of, you know, be in charge of my own energy and not. Your energy. That's right. And set boundaries and say, no, it's okay to say no, but I understand, you know, it's hard to say no when you're everybody's
00;27;17;09 - 00;27;39;19
Unknown
yes. You know, it's hard, but the more you say no, the more you can be more of a yes. And you feel so energetically right. And it's just a nervous system thing. But we'll talk about. Yeah. And so I have just one last question for you for this podcast is it's two part questions. They can answer in two parts.
00;27;39;19 - 00;28;00;21
Unknown
The first is just like to share anything that you would want people to know because you've you've read a lot. You know a lot about just gratitude. Gratitude frequency. And then the second question, which you already kind of answered, but is, is really any closing thoughts, comments about believing in yourself and knowing that you do have all the answers within yourself?
00;28;00;21 - 00;28;23;23
Unknown
Of course we want to ask for help. Of course we want to have coaches. But your overall belief system on helping people learn that they know themselves better than anyone and they can find solutions for whatever they might be going through. Yeah. So I will start with gratitude is the attitude to change your frequency, to change your life, to change your thinking and look?
00;28;23;25 - 00;28;39;19
Unknown
Oh, I'm so happy and grateful now that I get to do a podcast. Not that type of gratitude, but like really feeling the gratitude in your body like the sun is out, you got food or you play, you got a place to live. And in my experience, I also lived a life when I wasn't grateful and I didn't have gratitude.
00;28;39;21 - 00;28;57;29
Unknown
So there's a book. I don't know the author, but it's The Gap in the Game. Yeah. And the gap is when you're always looking at what you don't have. The gain is when you looking at everything you've done to get where your at. And so I was so much in that gap. And it happens in Hollywood when you're chasing your dreams, you have like when's the next book, when's the next gig, when's the next show?
00;28;58;07 - 00;29;24;26
Unknown
When's the next client? Like, bro, relax. Look what you have. Yeah. Look what you did to do. So I'm big on to having gratitude for what I have because I realize, oh, I'm actually privileged. But when you're not in the gratitude energy, you're looking at what you don't have, and you're being like a spoiled brat. So I'm here to tell people, find three things every morning and every night, if you can, but every morning that you're grateful for.
00;29;24;29 - 00;29;43;23
Unknown
Yeah, because some people don't even make it to the next day. Some people leave Earth and we didn't get to say goodbye. We didn't get to say thank you. Like I just lost a coach. Three weeks ago, his son made it to the NBA. At least your son was able to be present. Now he's gone, right? So I'm grateful to had the time that he that I have on my coach to say, hey coach good luck.
00;29;43;23 - 00;30;08;02
Unknown
You your son and he passes. So gratitude is so important. And I think the second question was, oh, do believing in yourself. Believing in yourself is so important. My clients are my mirror. So all the people that I get to sit in front of and stand with and help and motivate and inspire, they are the IT in their world and I'm constantly being shown.
00;30;08;04 - 00;30;24;24
Unknown
These people come up to me like. This is my avatar, right? No clients, high end CEOs, very successful and they go to you just as much or even more as anybody, but they show up when they don't feel like it. They show up when they're tired. They show up when they're overwhelmed. They show up when there's, you know, they gotta take a hit.
00;30;24;24 - 00;30;43;07
Unknown
You know, they might have a lawsuit, they might have people trying to get money out of them. So much, but they still show up. And the beautiful thing about it, they're showing up in the energy that they love because it's their gift that they're giving to the world. And that's why I believe they are successful. Not because of the money, because they're in their gift, in a message.
00;30;43;07 - 00;31;01;23
Unknown
Their gift to bring in the wealth, to bring in an opportunity. Beautiful. About what you just said about the, the gift. The gift. That's whatever it means to them. And last but not least, and this is going to end on this, I think is very important for all people. If you can, if you will, you have the opportunity to know who you really are.
00;31;01;25 - 00;31;25;25
Unknown
I spent so many years trying to figure out who is Eric, why am I here? What's my purpose through human design? Yeah, astrology, numerology, all these things. And like, oh, my life makes sense. Because information changes the situation. So the more information I have, I have a better understanding of who I am. I'm not questioning these thoughts. I'm not questioning my psychic ability.
00;31;25;29 - 00;31;41;16
Unknown
I'm not questioning my gift to see things that others can't see. I know it's part of my nature as part of my makeup. It's part of my design. So it gives me more faith and more confident when I am praying. When I am helping someone, that I don't need logic because I have so much certainty. Yeah. And everything.
00;31;41;20 - 00;32;03;10
Unknown
This is a it's so amazing. You and I are always so aligned on so many topics, but I felt like there's a few things you share on the podcast that I have really believed for years and have talked about for years, but that you and I have never spoken about. And so I think it's interesting that you're ending the podcast saying, like to learn and spend time getting to know who you are and what that means to you.
00;32;03;10 - 00;32;28;14
Unknown
And I also start every lecture for the high schoolers. I don't start with the morning and nighttime routine concept. I don't start with time blocking or the compound effect. I actually just say, hey, you're so lucky because you get to learn who you are. Yeah. What? And I also say, what makes you happy? And that what makes you happy and who you are is probably going to be many iterations in different decades of your life.
00;32;28;17 - 00;32;52;05
Unknown
Yeah. And then to reverse engineer back your routine up into like, what makes you happy? Who are you? Where are you going? And then reverse engineer a morning and nighttime routine to kind of help you get there. But that macro. Yeah, I love that you mentioned it as your closing comment. Because that, what makes you happy? Who are you question.
00;32;52;05 - 00;33;13;03
Unknown
Yeah. Is the macro not even the goals, but that's the macro and the micro is the morning and nighttime routine. Yeah, because I'll, I'll leave you with this. Yes. When we get older and we're on our death bed, I don't want to have any regrets. I want to say I went for it and, and went after it. I gave it everything.
00;33;13;03 - 00;33;29;25
Unknown
Doctor Wayne Dyer says I want to die empty. I want to empty all the music that's in me, out of me. I want to get it out. Get all your music out, let it out, let it play in a universe before you exit. And I think that's the best way, if you can, if you will, to live your life no matter what the circumstances are.
00;33;29;25 - 00;33;51;04
