00:00If you're feeling stuck in your life, if you can't move forward and you've got no focus or clarity,

00:05there are five steps that can help you totally transform your reality.

00:11And that might not be as difficult as it seems at first.

00:15It's a process that more and more people are learning today.

00:18Real change is not about a single step, it's rather about a process.

00:23And we combine ancient wisdom with super, super modern psychology, philosophy, religion and science

00:34to create a tangible way forward where people can actually heal their lives,

00:40grow and experience that inner peace that we all deserve.

00:44So here's a five step framework and it's not about dreaming about a new life.

00:49It's actually about building it from the inside out.

00:52And you won't believe how good and dedicated we are naturally to this process.

00:59Step one is really simple, but very, very important.

01:02It's the power of pause.

01:04In between stimulus and response, there's a space and in that space, the magic happens.

01:10You cannot create a new future while you're tethered mentally, spiritually and emotionally

01:16to the life that you've led before.

01:19So we're addicted to the past.

01:22And how we manage that addiction is by thinking about the future and we don't move with that

01:29philosophy.

01:30So what we want to do is get into the gap, get into the space between thoughts, feelings

01:35and emotions.

01:36And when we shift one of those, we begin to create real change from the inside out.

01:42Simple way to do that is just for 10 minutes or so, disconnect.

01:45Turn off your phone, your computer, everything.

01:48Sit in silence, breathe, close your eyes, you know, just ease into nothingness.

01:55It's not about stopping your thoughts.

01:57That's never going to happen.

01:59But it's about detaching from the noise of the outside world so that you can start to hear

02:04your inner world.

02:04This creates the real space for change to begin.

02:09And when we've done that, we can move to step two, which is to ask the five fundamental life

02:14questions.

02:15Nothing grounds us, gets us focused and gives us more clarity than these five simple questions.

02:23They help us to actually, honestly, assess our lives all the way through from past to present

02:29to future.

02:31Question number one, where have I been?

02:33This is where you reflect just quickly and gently on past experiences, not with judgment,

02:39but with curiosity.

02:42What has shaped you?

02:43Where have I been?

02:45Question two, who am I right now?

02:48Think about your current personality, your values, your strengths.

02:52And your flaws, right now.

02:55Three, where am I right now?

02:58Assess your present situation, honestly, without sugarcoating or catastrophizing, without needing

03:05to arm yourself with ego defenses that block clarity completely.

03:10You know, your personality creates your personal reality, and then you step in and rewire that

03:16reality.

03:17Question four, why am I here?

03:20Now, this is a big one.

03:21Look at the choices and responses that have led you, honestly, to your current reality.

03:28Is it working?

03:28Is it not working?

03:29This isn't about blame.

03:31It's about taking ownership.

03:33And five, where am I going?

03:35What is your current trajectory?

03:37Do you need to change it?

03:39Where am I going with the thoughts, feelings, and actions that I am experiencing right now?

03:45So answering these simple questions gives you a roadmap to getting into that inner journey,

03:51getting to see what's really going on beyond the noise of the 85,000 thoughts that we have

03:57to experience every day.

03:58So step three of our five-step process is define your future.

04:03Now that you're clear, now that you know where you are, step three is to define your future.

04:09Ask yourself, can I be defined by my imagination, my image of the future, rather than the story I tell

04:18myself about the past that is leading my life?

04:21Get clear on what you want with this.

04:23Not what you think you should want, but what your soul truly desires.

04:29Then, as Patanjali says, you know, assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled.

04:33So what we want to do is understand what emotions you will feel, and really try and get in touch

04:40with them when you achieve this desire.

04:43Is it joy, freedom, abundance?

04:45If you can start to feel those emotions right now, assume those feelings of the wish fulfilled,

04:51it begins to emotionally condition your body for a new reality.

04:55Step four is to rehearse and release.

04:57This is where the real work happens.

04:59You have your present reality and your future vision.

05:04Now we begin to bridge the gap.

05:06First, every day, mentally rehearse being your future self.

05:10What choices that person would make, how they would react, what steps they would take.

05:16Play it like a movie in your mind.

05:18You cannot step into a new future holding on to the baggage of the past.

05:23Who are you without that story?

05:25Identify the thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that no longer serve you.

05:30The pain is mightier than the sword, so write down the things I can't and the things I can do.

05:36Notice when you complain, blame, or wear the victim mask.

05:41Consciously decide to let go of emotions like lack, insecurity, and fear.

05:47We're placing them with love when we move past the frightened personality.

05:54Love is the natural emotion that propels us forward.

05:59Step five is now to live that change.

06:01You know, faith without works is dead.

06:04Half measures avail us of nothing.

06:06And love itself, that power that we're getting here, is a verb.

06:10Live the change by changing the way you think, feel, and act every single day.

06:18And in response, consequences will change.

06:21When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at actually do change.

06:26This five-step process, pause, ask, define, rehearse, and release, and live,

06:32is your roadmap to the profound transformation that we're looking for here.

06:36It combines deep self-awareness with conscious creation.
