1
The state of your nervous system determines the frequency
2
that you are tuned to and that frequency determines what you attract into this life.
3
And if that sounds crazy to you, there are studies that show that the same actions taken with a different energy lead to different results.
4
Most people think that they need to do more in the physical world to get more results.
5
Be more productive, be more focused,
6
be more motivated, but they don't realize that the state of their nervous system is what determines the direction of their lives.
7
It's what determines what you're even able to experience in this life, what your brain filters for, what your brain motivates you to do,
8
the thoughts that pop into your brain, the choices that your subconscious makes before you even realize.
9
If you are neglecting your brain, you can take all of the action that you want
10
and force all of the discipline that you want and you may never get the results that you desire.
11
The house the car the love the relationship the joy the fulfillment you can take all the action
12
that you want but if your brain
13
and nervous system is not aligned for what you want you may never get it
14
but when your nervous system is in the correct state
15
and your brain is actually wired for what you want subconscious reprogrammed to match
16
that of your desires the same action will actually get you better results
17
and i want to tell you the neuroscience behind why
18
that is and give you a few tools as well so
19
that you can start to shift your nervous system to become that match for whatever it is that you desire.
20
So the science here really comes down to one fundamental thing that you don't experience reality.
21
You experience your brain's version of it.
22
Everything that you have ever experienced has been constructed by your brain.
23
I remember when I first learned about the black box analogy,
24
it kind of blew my mind and changed my perspective on the way we think the world works.
25
Imagine your brain exists inside of a black box, which it does, by the way.
26
And the only information it receives is through your five senses.
27
So as you go around navigating life, right, your brain just takes in the information of these five senses.
28
How in the world is it going to build whatever you're experiencing how is it going to do
29
that well it's going to take that information in from your five senses
30
and filter it through your programming your beliefs your current state the state of your nervous system
31
it's going to filter it through your identity the model of who you are your past experiences
32
and then it is going to build your current experience your present experience i remember the first time
33
that i heard it phrased exactly like this
34
but you don't see the world with your eyes all your eyes do is just take in light signals
35
and then those light signals travel through the brain where your thoughts memories emotions
36
and beliefs are all incorporated before the image is even put together
37
that you see you don't see the world with your eyes you see the world with your brain
38
and that's not just true for vision it's true for your entire experience of reality there are studies that show
39
that we can change your perception of the way something tastes through rewiring not changing the chemicals in the tea
40
or or the receptors in your taste buds through literally changing the relationship between the receptor
41
and your brain the wiring it is your wiring
42
that determines your experience of reality not the chemical
43
that hits your taste bud they've shown that in studies and And that's just taste, right?
44
Every single sense is the same way.
45
And we know this to be true as well, because every single one of us has a unique experience of reality.
46
I mean, this is why science shows that no two people see color the exact same way, because no two people have the exact same brain.
47
You can use that one.
48
You can use that one in your own personal life, because I've gotten into conversations before where people, certain people will say to me,
49
oh, but isn't that that's red or pink or blue
50
or green right there's like those little arguments sounds blue
51
it's green i'm just like oh your brain's putting it together wrong
52
and me and my best friend have a phrase where they say oh i'm sure
53
that your pink is the same as my pink we see the same pink
54
but really we know
55
that no two people see color the exact same way
56
i actually used to work in a color vision lab where
57
i could map on a color plot the way different genotypes different individuals would perceive the same color fruit.
58
Very interesting.
59
And that's the first time that I saw for myself that, oh, okay, so yeah, color is a construct.
60
Well, and all of this, by the way, is just to say that color is a construct.
61
It's not even a physical property, a physical reality.
62
It's actually a construct made up by your brain in order to experience different wavelengths of light.
63
But, and I digress, we're going down a rabbit hole right now of the neuroscience of reality which
64
we can cover in a different video.
65
Let me know if you want that video.
66
But really, it's important to understand the neuroscience of reality
67
when it comes to understanding how the state of your nervous system determines your frequency and that determines what you attract, right?
68
Because it's not just your brain that's constructing your experience, right?
69
It's your entire nervous system.
70
It is your enteric nervous system, the nervous system in your gut.
71
It's your peripheral nervous system, right?
72
Somatics are so important.
73
Your body is so important
74
because emotions are actually stored in the nervous system in your body as well
75
so it's not just your brain we're talking about here we're talking about your entire nervous system
76
and this is actually really important right whenever we're considering your frequency
77
or your emotion right the state of your nervous system
78
and it can get even more interesting right because once you understand
79
that your brain is constructing your entire experience of reality then you can begin to understand how
80
when you are in different states the reality you experience changes let's say
81
you are stressed anxious well now your amygdala is overactive it's turned on it's fired up
82
which is the fear emotional center of the brain highly associated with fear stress anxiety the amygdala
83
when you're stressed and anxious
84
that amygdala is hyperactive right now let's say that's the case for you maybe you're going
85
and having an important conversation well after
86
that conversation you might walk away overthinking everything that you said
87
or didn't say let's say i'm stressed right now filming this video
88
and i am anxious and i'm dysregulated for whatever reason maybe i'm super exhausted
89
or i'm not properly fueling myself
90
because the enteric nervous system in your gut plays a huge role in nervous system regulation
91
but let's say i'm dysregulated and i'm stressed
92
and i'm filming this video i might finish this video
93
and upload it and overthink everything that i said and think
94
that it was terrible and my brain will scan for possible things
95
that i could have said or done better everything
96
that i did wrong the mistakes that i may
97
or may not have made this is one of the ways
98
that the state of your nervous system determines your experience of reality
99
and what you attract into this life
100
because your brain is also going to scan for problems this is the state of lack
101
and limitation your brain is literally scanning for what could possibly
102
go wrong what you don't have searching for reasons to confirm your state
103
so that's a funny thing about the brain and nervous system is
104
that it's constantly searching for evidence proof reasons for why you feel the way
105
that you feel if you are stressed
106
and anxious it's going to look for things in your reality to confirm why you're stressed and anxious
107
and then you might say oh well it's this thing that's stressing me out no you were already dysregulated
108
and your brain is actually searching for reasons to confirm why to explain why
109
but the opposite is also true i don't want this to be all down in the dumpsters
110
because the opposite is also true when your nervous system is regulated
111
and you're in a good state
112
and you're feeling really good now you're looking at the world through those rose colored lenses
113
and your brain is literally constructing color as more vivid
114
because it does that when you feel good colors are more saturated right
115
and your brain's also going to scan for reasons to feel good.
116
Those tiny little moments that otherwise you might have missed, now your brain is like, oh wow, this person just smiled at me on the sidewalk.
117
What a beautiful day.
118
That's just evidence of today's going to be great.
119
Your brain is going to scan and filter reality for more reasons to feel good.
120
So all of this is to say that the real key to getting what you want in life is not necessarily action.
121
It is the energy that you have behind the action that you take.
122
And this is why your energy is the most important thing in life.
123
It not only determines what you get in life, the results that you get in life, but it also determines the way that you feel, right?
124
Life isn't all about getting things, achieving things, and getting more.
125
It's also about the way that you feel in the present, how you feel right now.
126
And your energy just, it shifts all of those things.
127
So let's talk about it.
128
So here are three of my top tips for tuning your nervous system to the frequency of what you want.
129
Number one is short, sweet, simple, and to the point.
130
It is to regulate your nervous system
131
because your brain puts together a different reality when you are regulated versus when you are dysregulated.
132
Your experience of reality is completely different.
133
When you're regulated, your brain filters for opportunities, possibilities when you are dysregulated your brain searches for problems
134
or potential threats and this is because when your nervous system is dysregulated
135
when you are in fight or flight you're constantly stressed
136
or anxious your brain's just trying to keep you safe right like your brain just wants to help you survive
137
and so this isn't something to get mad at yourself for like don't beat yourself up about it
138
if you're always stressed always anxious the first step is acceptance
139
and self -love and stop beating yourself up and telling yourself that you need to be different
140
That alone can be so regulating.
141
accepting yourself and loving yourself for who you are recognizing
142
that yeah of course there's always going to be more
143
that you want to do to better yourself and and change
144
but there's always going to be more always the work is never done
145
and that is a beautiful thing because that means
146
that there's always more to become life can then be a constant evolution
147
which is beautiful it's great like we the worst feeling in the world is being stuck
148
and plateauing that sucks make peace with that make peace with the fact
149
that the work is never done
150
and stop getting beating yourself up for not being perfect right
151
now you don't have to be quote -unquote healed completely to
152
get what you want a lot of times the thing
153
that you want the relationship whatever it is it actually helps to heal
154
you it actually teaches you lessons i think relationships are a great example of
155
that i digress regulating your nervous system is a process
156
and it takes time it does take time especially if you're chronically dysregulated, if you're chronically stressed, if you're always rushing around,
157
always feeling like you're in fight or flight and brain fog and stressed, take it slow, take it one step at a time,
158
start by slowing down and taking things one step at a time.
159
I have an entire video on so many different tips for regulating your nervous system.
160
So I highly recommend you check out that video.
161
I will link it in the description below it contains a bunch of different tips for actions
162
that you can take in real time but also things
163
that you can start to practice on the daily
164
that will help to regulate you because
165
when your nervous system is regulated you are tuned to the frequency of abundance your brain filters for more things
166
that you want you make better choices the thoughts
167
that your nervous system pops into your head
168
that your brain automates are better you have more motivation more energy your intuition is actually more accurate
169
so you're more able to receive creative insights
170
and downloads it's a great thing so if that is something
171
that you're wanting to work on definitely go check out
172
that video number two is to rewrite your internal narrative
173
and identity this includes your beliefs as well your internal narrative
174
your beliefs your identity all of those are used to construct the model of who you are
175
and your brain uses that model to predict your thoughts feelings choices there are actually studies
176
that show that your brain activates pathways to motivate your choices before you're even consciously aware of making
177
that choice meaning that if your identity like let's say you are trying to get fit
178
and healthy you're trying to get super fit you've never been fit before in your life
179
and your past looks like you've never really been super fit
180
you're you've never really been one to go to the gym
181
and and eat really healthy that's not that's not really who you are
182
but you have this goal of being really fit let's say you open the fridge
183
and your favorite dessert is sitting right there next to a salad
184
and maybe it's a delicious salad i don't know next to something healthy maybe it's meat
185
and vegetables i don't want to hate on salads
186
if it is part of your identity and the internal story of who you are, if it's who you've always been to go for the dessert,
187
your brain will actually motivate you to go for the dessert without your awareness.
188
And then you're fighting against your brain to achieve your goals.
189
This is why I always say that dopamine doesn't care about your dream.
190
It cares about what you've automated and what you've repeated and what you reward.
191
This is why shifting your identity and rewriting the internal narrative of who you are is so important.
192
Because when you really rewrite that internal narrative and shift your identity, your brain motivates you to take different actions.
193
And this can happen really quickly.
194
And it also happens over time.
195
I have had clients that after one identity shifting session with me, they go off and have the best week of the year in their business.
196
I have also had people quit lifelong bad habits and cycles after shifting their identity within a week.
197
I have clients that after shifting their identity are now fully sober
198
so the possibilities are there for you whether it be abundance whether it be fitness
199
and health whether it be quitting some bad habits identity shifting is
200
so powerful when you shift your internal narrative when you rewrite
201
that story of who you are and you start to tell yourself something different
202
when you identify as a new version of you i was literally thinking of this song yesterday
203
and it just popped into my head right now and
204
so maybe this is going to help you on your journey of rewriting your internal narrative
205
and shifting your identity that song by Tame Impala and it goes feel like a brand new person
206
he might say same old mistakes after that so maybe don't listen to
207
that but the song that line
208
that line can be the affirmation feel like a brand new person I was singing
209
that line this morning I'll see you next time.
210
because I'm actively identity shifting again because I finished writing my book
211
and I am like all right it's time to level up again
212
and every single time I want to level up
213
I shift my identity
214
I'm like okay where can I shift where can I level up where can I reinforce beliefs
215
this time for me it's about my beliefs and
216
when I think of shifting my identity and
217
when I'm asking myself okay like who is this new goal calling me to become
218
or who am I wanting to become in this next level of my life, I always look at a number of different factors,
219
whether it be habits, beliefs, mindset, energy, confidence, right?
220
And I like to visualize this next level version of myself and really get to know who that is.
221
For me this time, it was about my beliefs and I received
222
that download actually while i was in a massage
223
which shout out regulating your nervous system shout out parasympathetic restoration
224
because when you take
225
that time to rest off of technology distraction does not equal rest by the way
226
but when you take that time to do
227
that the downloads just start pouring in and
228
so anyway for me this time it was about my beliefs
229
and so i took the time to sit down
230
and really ask myself what does this next level version of me believe about myself now
231
Now belief is a biological advantage.
232
I told you there was a study that showed that the same actions with a different energy can lead to different results.
233
Right here right now during this point I actually want to tell you about a study that was on job interviews.
234
So in this experiment they took people
235
and they had them go through a fake job interview all right and they split these people up into two groups.
236
First group of people they had them talk about a time they felt really powerful right before going into their interview.
237
The second group of people, they had them talk about a time they felt powerless right before they go into their interview.
238
And now the interviewers had no idea what this experiment was, what was going on, what were the kind of methods.
239
They didn't know, okay, what they were measuring in this experiment.
240
They interviewed the people and then they said whether or not they were likely to hire this person.
241
And what they found in this study was that the people who were primed for power, their brains were primed for power,
242
their energies shifted because they felt more powerful.
243
These people were more likely to be hired in these interviews.
244
So all of these people were equally qualified, but it was their energy going into the interview that determined whether or not they were hired.
245
I will leave you with this when it comes to this point, all right?
246
Because when it comes to your internal narrative, the next level identity your best self the beliefs that
247
that version of you holds lots of people have to -do lists
248
but not many people have to -be lists who do you want to be because that is a
249
great motivator a great motivator at the end of the day you can ask yourself
250
when you're tired when you're stressed
251
when you're maybe not feeling like doing what you know
252
you need to do you can ask yourself what would the what my favorite version of me do right
253
now what would that version of me who has it all do right now
254
and you're only able to do that
255
when you have a clearly defined favorite self identity and
256
if you want to be coached by me shift your identity
257
reprogram your subconscious rewire your brain align your nervous system
258
and unlock your next level then check the description
259
because i have all of the information about that below and number three is to train your perception.
260
This is one of my favorite tools and it will absolutely transform your reality.
261
It'll transform your brain and nervous system and it'll transform your reality because if you want to see more blessings and abundance,
262
love, joy, whatever it is that you're wanting, if you want to see more of that in your reality,
263
you need to train your brain to look for it.
264
And the beautiful thing is that with the power of neuroplasticity, which is the ability to rewire your brain,
265
the fact that your brain is absolutely adaptable, you are not stuck the way that you are.
266
And with the power of neuroplasticity, you can train your brain to filter your reality for what you want.
267
I did this experiment on myself recently, where I started to practice something called the three wonders of the week
268
and let me tell you i have noticed insane changes over
269
the past 30 days like not only in my physical reality
270
but in my internal reality i have unlocked a new level of joy
271
and happiness and peace and fulfillment that i have not experienced in a
272
while through this practice okay
273
so i began to treat myself like a guinea pig like I always do
274
and practice three wonders of the week and what I was doing
275
and I actually I do this I have this kind of journaling method where I have every every single Monday
276
I start a new notes folder on my phone my laptop it's all connected
277
and I basically just have like for example I just put the The.
278
the date of whatever it is, like week of, let's say, March 30th.
279
That was this past Monday.
280
Week of March 30th.
281
And all week, whenever I have thoughts or ideas, whatever it is, I put it in the same notes folder.
282
Now, the reason why I do this is because I am the type of person that has tons of ideas, tons of downloads all the time.
283
And I used to just put them in separate places all over.
284
I would have notes and then I would be texting myself
285
so I wouldn't forget or I would take a picture of something
286
and type it on the screen it was
287
or I would literally take a video like this of myself where I'm like okay
288
and you've got to remember this it was just everywhere information everywhere
289
and that's not good just for streamlining to have information all over the place
290
it's just better for it to all be in one place
291
so now I have a weekly note where I put everything throughout the week in one note
292
and it's beautiful because it all stays organized it's all in one place
293
and it's good because I can go back
294
and be like oh what was I thinking about last week
295
and it's all there it's really incredible so I highly recommend doing
296
that but the reason why I bring that up is actually
297
because I started to do that with my three wonders of the week
298
so I would have my weekly note
299
and every time as I go throughout the week
300
and it ended up being way more than three
301
but as I go throughout the week I actually would notice
302
and write down little things that I just found wonderful for example
303
when I was meditating outside next to my pool laying in the grass
304
and looking up at the sky
305
and there was the bubbling of the water in the pool
306
and I was like wow it's so beautiful
307
and it really caught me in my tracks
308
I was like that's actually an incredible sound wrote it down the sunset wrote it down
309
and actually I found it quite interesting because in the beginning it didn't come
310
so easily I had to really think about oh that's a wonder
311
and really point them out and pay attention and
312
and do it on purpose
313
but what's really interesting is now i'm at the point where
314
i don't even try like they're everywhere all the time i'm like experiencing
315
so many wonders
316
and my level of joy is just on cracked mode training
317
your perception is like changing the dial on the radio
318
when you change the frequency of the station you change the music
319
that comes in when you train your perception you train your brain to filter reality for different things
320
and you change what comes in you shift the experience
321
that you have and it's incredible so whatever it is
322
that you're wanting whatever it is
323
that you are working toward your goals whether it whether it be a physical thing
324
or a mental thing whether it be more confidence more love take the time every single day have
325
that note all throughout the week do it every week
326
and take the time to notice where those things already are
327
in your life notice where you're already experiencing love where you're
328
already experiencing abundance where you're already experiencing opportunities notice where it shows up in your life at first
329
it might be difficult even right now as you hear me talk
330
you might be like i don't experience those things i don't have them prime your brain right now open up
331
that notes file title it wonders whatever it is
332
that you're wanting right evidence whatever you want to title it open it up right now
333
and start that list right one thing that you could think of.
334
Again, it might be difficult over the next few days.
335
Just keep doing it.
336
But over the next few weeks, watch how your mindset and reality shifts.
337
If you made it this far, if you made it to the end, thank you so much.
338
I am sending you so much love.
339
I believe in you.
340
I am rooting for you.
341
You got this.
342
Have a great week and I will see you in the next video.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
