0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:13How does someone develop an abundant mindset? Something where they believe that abundance of love and joy and opportunities can come to them versus staying stuck in a limit of what they're capable of creating or achieving. First of all, become aware of the reality in the world. Get out of our little well that we are into and see the ocean of humanity, where it is, and compare with that. And you'll see you'll be grateful. You are at least much better than so many people who don't even have the basic things that you have. Right. That itself will give you a breathing space. See, feel better about yourself.

1:01number one. Second, again here I would say meditation will help one to get out of grief and sense of lack. It's just a state of mind. You can continue to feel lack even if you are a billionaire. It can continue with you forever in your life. So here meditation can bring that inner sense of abundance. And when you have that inner sense of abundance, I tell you abundance will start flowing to you from outside as well. In order to feel abundant, what does that feeling look like, experience? There should be this way. Your feelings are feeling, just be with it. Those feelings come because you have certain misconceptions in your mind, wrong notions in your mind, or stress, too much stress, then everything appears to be very bleak.

2:03Yes. And you don't enjoy even simple things. I feel stress is the biggest enemy of mankind. Really? Because stress destroys the relationship. It destroys your own peace of mind. Your health. Your health. Your communication goes for a toss. You react more. Yeah. But it seems so hard for people to let go of stress. To just let go of it. No, because nobody taught them how to get out of the stress. Interesting. Neither at school nor at home. No one teaches us how we can be free from stress. We're seeing how to be stressful, but not how to get out of stress. Get out of stress. We see other people stressed, and we're mimicking that, but not how to be peaceful.

2:50Yeah. But this education is missing. Intellectually, you know, oh, I shouldn't be upset. I shouldn't be annoyed. My darshan, lose my temper. All this intellectually, you know, as a concept, you know, you understand all that. But in practical life, it doesn't translate into reality. Your thoughts are different, your actions are different. This is where the breathing techniques and Sudarshan Kriya, sky techniques all come so handy. Yes. Because it helps when it gives tools and technique for people to, you know, just let go of those. and feel the freshness from within. How often do you feel stressed or angry today with all the wisdom that you have?

3:36Do you ever feel stressed or angry? Do I look stressed? Not right now. Do you ever have a moment since I were like, I don't like that person did this thing or said this? Does it ever like just a little bit and then you go back to your... It will be so hard to believe, but it is the truth that I don't get this at all. That's got to feel amazing. It's going to feel peaceful then.

4:10I have a brand new book called Make Money Easy.
