00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:23.440
Hello everybody and welcome to Finding Your Innergator Podcast, where we talk about discipline, relationships, and the habits that release to greatness that is already inside of you.
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.719
I'm your host, Arby Wright, and I am so glad that you're here.
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:40.240
In each episode, we'll explore powerful lessons, real life stories, and practical strategies to help you live intentionally, build meaningful relationships, and unlock your full potential.
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:46.880
But greatness isn't something you stumble into, it's something that is built every single day.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:52.560
So let's get started and begin the journey to finding your inner gator.
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.159
Hello everybody, this is RB Wright.
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.479
You are listening to Finding Your Inner Gator.
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.600
And if I haven't told you, I am so glad that you're here.
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:05.599
I'm gonna start a little bit different today.
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.519
I want to I want to tell you a quick story.
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.719
And this story is probably about 18 months old.
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:16.239
My wife, Jennifer, uh, she teaches me stuff every now and then.
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.400
Uh probably more than I admit, but she teaches me stuff now and then.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:26.000
And one day she said something that really stuck to me, and I think it really deals with what we're talking about today.
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.560
Um Friday after or Thursday afternoon, um, late afternoon.
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.319
I've got a tournament starting the next day, a king tournament.
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:41.280
I'm in my shop uh getting my gear together, checking all my rods.
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.280
Uh the team had already, or team was coming by a little bit later that night.
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:52.560
Uh, but I was out there just kind of doing some things, and I'm I'm looking, uh just I was a little distraught.
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.159
And I'll tell you why is that uh I told you I take these tournaments seriously, right?
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:10.400
And we've we've talked about tracking, we've talked about all these things, but the problem was I could not, the fish were not where they normally were, right?
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:26.560
And uh everything I'd been doing, everything that I've been talking to others about, I I just locating the fish because of water temps, uh bait pods coming in, it was just it was difficult.
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:28.000
It was difficult.
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:34.719
So I'm sitting there thinking, it's just not coming together the way I wanted it to.
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:36.960
Uh I was having some trouble finding bait.
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:42.240
I mean, it's just nothing seemed to be going right, and I was in a bad head space.
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:51.280
I knew that in order for me to even come close to accomplishing what I was gonna need to accomplish, I would have no choice but to get out of my comfort zone, right?
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.319
I was gonna have to fish structure I wasn't f familiar with.
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.879
I was gonna have to go to places that I'm not as familiar with.
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:05.520
I may even have to pull stuff in my spread that I'm not accustomed to pooling.
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.639
What typically was going to work was not going to work in this tournament.
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:23.039
So Jennifer and I were running to, I think we're going to pick up some to-go food somewhere, shaka tak or something, and she was gonna ride with me, and she walked outside, and we got in the truck and she looked at me, she goes, What's going on?
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.800
And I just said, Things aren't going the way I want them to, babe.
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.319
Uh, you know, I I know there's some things I gotta try, I gotta do.
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:38.319
I went to more detail with her, and I'm gonna go with you right now, but I just remember saying, bottom line is it's outside my comfort zone.
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.840
She looked right at me.
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.360
And she said something that that stuck with me and hit me like a ton of bricks.
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:56.960
She said, babe, you can never be committed to your goals and your comfort zone at the same time.
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:07.039
You can never be committed to your goals and your comfort zone at the same time.
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.280
Oh my God, that stuck with me, right?
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:22.560
Because the truth is most of the regrowth that we want in our lives, everything that you're trying to accomplish lives right outside of that comfort zone.
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:29.759
And that's exactly what we got to have the conversation today on the mind.
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:37.120
You see, everything starts with your mind, your beliefs, your perspective, your ability to stay focused when things get difficult.
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:45.279
Your mindset determines how you handle challenges, setbacks, opportunities.
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:53.519
Look, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna deviate just a second, and and I I've got a uh E plus R equals O.
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.600
And I'm gonna share a story.
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.959
Some of you know it, I'm gonna share a story with you on this one day.
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.480
Uh time sake today.
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.199
I don't know if it's the right thing to do, but I I'll think about it.
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.560
I may end up coming back to it.
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.480
But E plus R equals O.
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:18.480
Your event, what is happening, plus how you respond determines your outcome.
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.920
It helps determine that outcome.
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:27.360
So your mindset helps determine how you handle those challenges.
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:28.959
E plus R equals O.
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:34.480
Your mind determines how you handle your challenges, your setbacks, your opportunities.
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:48.639
If you're thinking negative, if you're constantly doubting yourself, if you're focused on the problem and the challenge versus what the solution is, I promise you you're fighting a battle that you're never going to win.
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.040
Your mind has to be strong.
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:56.639
Put it this way: the the brain is constantly creating patterns, right?
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:10.160
Every thought you repeat, every belief you reinforce, every conversation that you have with yourself, it builds those patterns and strengthens those patterns, right?
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:16.399
And over time, those patterns they they become your default thinking.
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.920
You know, you talk about the half-full, half-empty people.
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:28.319
This is why some people automatically see the opportunity while others will see a challenge.
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.759
Their minds have simply been programmed differently, right?
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:33.120
And here's the important part.
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.279
Your mind can be programmed intentionally.
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:38.879
Intentionally.
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:49.839
Here's something powerful I want you to understand is that your brain, your mind cannot possess a positive thought and a negative thought at the very same time.
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:51.600
One's going to win.
00:06:51.839 --> 00:07:05.360
If you are focused on fear, if you're focused on fear, if you're focused on a negative outcome, you cannot be simultaneously focused on the opportunity.
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:11.519
If you're focused on the problems, you cannot at the same time be focused on solutions.
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:16.639
Which means the real questions become, what are you choosing to focus on?
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:18.959
You guessed it.
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.079
Because what you focus on, ladies and gentlemen, is going to expand.
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.279
Let's go back to the programming, right?
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.120
Let's go back to the programming.
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:33.759
I I said to you, your mind can be programmed intentionally.
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.920
One of the most powerful ways to program your mind is through reading.
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.800
You know, I I love Grant Cardone, y'all know that.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:08:03.120
And um a few years back, uh I either read something he had had had written or heard a quote that he said that if you want to have a 1 to 52 advantage, a 52 to 1 advantage over your competition, read a book a week.
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:11.439
And that's because the average person after high school will start a book a year.
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.240
Most of the time people don't finish it, right?
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:15.839
Most time they don't finish it.
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:22.560
I can tell you I don't run a 52 to 1, but I do run uh about a 26 to 1.
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:23.600
I read a lot.
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.759
I I cheat, I use Audible.
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:29.040
Uh I do have a lot of uh hard copied books.
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:34.000
I got several from uh uh my buddy Sam Monroe that he's written.
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:40.000
I listen, I read Grant Cardone, Brian Tracy, Zig Ziggler, uh Brandon Bouchard.
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:46.320
Uh I got one I read uh and it's funny, I was in a meeting and this came up.
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:53.679
Um the message in the book, not the book, uh, but it was called Go for No, right?
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.480
I mean, that's completely opposite of how most people program themselves.
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:06.559
The point being, when you're reading, you're you're you're learning from people who've already walked this path ahead of you.
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.600
You're learning from their mistakes, their lessons, their thinking.
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:15.759
They didn't just wake up one day and say, Oh my gosh, I'm a genius, I'm going to pin this out so everybody can see how to do it.
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:20.720
What they're actually saying is, oh my gosh, I've been down this path.
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.000
Let me show you an easy way to do it.
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.639
When I say easy, what I should have said is easier.
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.879
It's going to take work, it's going to take action.
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:41.519
When you read consistently, ladies and gentlemen, you are literally rewriting the programming in your brain.
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.080
You're reprogramming your brain.
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.000
You know, another major influence is the people you surround yourself with.
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.320
You've heard it before, and it's true.
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.720
You've heard me say it a thousand times.
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.480
You become like the people you spend most of the time with.
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:02.720
If the people around you are negative, complaining, and settling for average, that mindset will influence you.
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:10.399
But if the people you're around are positive, disciplined, and growth-oriented, that mindset is going to elevate you.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:32.159
When you you have to make the conscientious decision, if you if you go to the break room or and you're sitting around a water cooler, if you're on a maybe this is more appropriate, if you're on a Teams call and somebody stays on afterwards and they're calling, they're constantly just complaining and griping about everything.
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.399
Separate yourself from that.
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:39.279
Because what you don't realize is you're allowing that virus to get into your program.
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.639
You've got to have an antivirus mindset, right?
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:49.440
They just hit you got to have an antivirus mindset because you are a result of the people that you associate with.
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:51.759
That's how you're programming yourself.
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.200
Let's talk about something else that holds a lot of people back.
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.039
The mind's powerful, isn't it?
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:00.080
It's powerful.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:05.039
One of the things that holds a lot of people back is negative self-talk.
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.039
This is a conversation you have with you, right?
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.000
Sometimes it sounds like, I can't do that.
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.519
Oh man, that's too big.
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.200
I am not ready for that.
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.440
I am not good enough.
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:18.960
But here's the problem.
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:24.080
The brain begins to believe whatever you repeat.
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:32.320
If you're constantly speaking negativity in your own mind, your brain eventually accepts that it's fact, that it's truth.
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:47.679
You have to challenge those thoughts, you have to replace those thoughts, you have to redirect those thoughts because the words you speak to yourself, they shape the person you become.
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:57.279
I would be lying to you if I said, I haven't talked myself out of innergator a thousand times.
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.919
RB, who's gonna want to listen to Innergator?
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:03.039
Innergator?
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:04.720
That sounds so stupid, right?
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:05.840
What is that?
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.279
People are gonna think you're crazy, dude.
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.519
They're gonna think you're crazy.
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:18.799
Finally, I had to have a conversation with myself.
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:20.320
I said, you know what?
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.240
This system, these pillars, they help me.
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.120
They help me get my head where it needs to be.
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.840
This may not be for everybody, and that's okay.
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:42.879
But if there's one person, two person, three person, four, that it can benefit and can shape the way that their life goes and helps them change the trajectory of their life, you gotta do it.
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:44.639
Dude, you can do this.
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:45.840
You can do this.
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:47.440
Put yourself out there.
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:51.279
I had to have that conversation with me.
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:58.080
So when I'm telling you this, I'm not telling you stuff just to sound small.
00:12:58.159 --> 00:12:59.759
I'm telling you, I've lived this.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.360
Still do sometimes.
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:02.720
I live this.
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:11.600
I was at an executive health exam I had to go to.
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:16.000
And part of it was the mental aspect, right?
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:30.240
And they gave me a breathing exercise to do, and I I gotta tell you, uh, those of you that know me, uh the gator ain't never been a big fan of uh yoga and stuff like that.
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:35.120
My wife has, but I just hadn't it never I never really understood it.
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:42.159
However, I call I started calling this the inner gator mind reset, right?
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.799
I think it's something practical.
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.000
I had to start doing this when my mind gets negative, right?
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.720
Before I'd walk on stage to talk to a group of people, I have a thousand thoughts running through my head.
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.600
I would have to reset, I'd do the breathing exercise.
00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:02.320
I'd actually would hold my hands right down beside me and shake them where it was triggering a reset.
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.399
This exercise takes about 90 seconds.
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.759
Step one, I just want you to pause and breathe.
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:10.799
Just stop.
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:14.960
Breathe through your nose.
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:16.639
Hold it, right?
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:17.600
Hold it.
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.039
Then release.
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:23.120
Slowly.
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:26.480
Do that three times.
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:28.000
Breathe through your nose.
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:29.360
Inhale.
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:38.639
Hold it for a second or two, six seconds, and release.
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.120
This helps reset your nervous system.
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.879
And step two is you have to identify that negative thought.
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.840
You got to ask yourself, what thought is running through my mind right now?
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.120
Maybe it's doubt, maybe it's fear, maybe it's frustration.
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:01.360
And then step three, intention, guys, intention.
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.840
Replace it intentionally.
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:05.679
Remember what we said earlier.
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.679
You cannot possess a positive and a negative thought at the very same time.
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:17.200
So replace that negative thought with the right one, the positive thought, the better one.
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:21.919
Instead of saying, I can't do this, say I haven't figured it out yet, but I will.
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:28.960
Instead of saying it's too hard, say that challenge, that challenge is gonna make me stronger.
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:33.679
This simple reset changes the direction of your thinking.
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:38.480
And when you change your thinking, you change your actions.
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:46.720
You know, I I said to you a while ago that E plus R equals O.
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:51.600
Uh and I I was getting ready to start to close this out.
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:53.679
But I want to go back and share it.
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:58.080
It just honestly, gosh, this is one of those moments, it's a story that just hit me.
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:09.200
So my daughter, uh Jillian was in uh a student at East Carolina University.
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:20.000
Her junior year on a Thursday night, actually it's been about Friday morning, about two o'clock, uh, this was during uh COVID.
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:22.799
Uh the phone rang.
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:53.200
And as a parent of three daughters that are college age at the time, uh you either think they got into something they didn't need to get into and they don't realize they're calling me, which you would rather it be, than it be the the hospital sharing with you uh that your daughter uh has severe burns.
00:16:54.639 --> 00:17:00.159
Uh she was at a uh kind of a pep rally type party.
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:15.759
Uh there was a big ballot or pallet-induced uh bonfire, and she was standing in front of it, and guys would kind of dip the ladies for a picture with the fire being the bike backdrop.
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:38.160
The young man that went to dip her for the picture tripped, slipped, and Jill fell right into the fire, severely burned from her knees to her elbows, clothes were sticking to her, they had to scrub her with the dead skin to burn her skin off.
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:51.519
Jennifer and I drove a couple hours from Topsville to or from Fayetteville at the time to um Greenville, uh North Carolina.
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.599
I couldn't go in.
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:55.440
She had to go in.
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.799
And this process of scrubbing they had to repeat over the next couple of days.
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.440
I remember having a conversation with her via FaceTime.
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:12.640
And all I said to her is, baby, no I love you.
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:17.200
Right now I want you to cry like you've never cried before.
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:18.880
I want you to be angry.
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:28.160
But do that today, tomorrow, Sunday.
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:34.240
But Monday morning, I need you when you wake up to understand that E plus R equals O.
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:35.359
You gotta get your head right.
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:36.960
You gotta get your mind right.
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:41.920
The event and how you respond is gonna help to determine your outcome.
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:51.440
Now, on the event, there's nothing you can do to change the fact the event happened.
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:54.720
Nothing.
00:18:55.680 --> 00:19:01.759
All you can control is how you respond to that event.
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:06.319
And I guarantee you that's going to help with the outcome.
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:18.880
She cried all day Friday, all day Saturday, all day Sunday, and I knew when I reached out to her Monday morning she was gonna be crying.
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:24.480
However, what I heard was, hey, you know what?
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.440
I'm glad this happened to me and not my friends.
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.000
They couldn't handle it the way that I handled it.
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.359
Technology is pretty cool today.
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.920
She healed pretty good, still has some scars.
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:51.759
But she went on to become a pretty very successful and popular uh TikTok influencer, ended up moving to New York City on I didn't have to underwrite that, she did that herself.
00:19:51.920 --> 00:20:00.160
Uh, graduated college, worked at the marina, rocked a bikini, and learned from that.
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:23.680
You see, the the crazy thing about that incident is I know people that whether they're 21, 22 years old or 51, 52 years old, they would not have if they responded, woe is me, my life will never be the same.
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:28.880
People are gonna look at me and see scars or things along that line.
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:34.960
They would have felt sorry for themselves and never, ever truly got over it.
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:39.759
She turned around and used the event to help other people.
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:44.559
She used the event to say, these scars tell my story.
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:50.079
And she shared her story and she went on to her own form of greatness.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.160
The mind is incredibly powerful.
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.240
Your event may not be that drastic, right?
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:02.480
Your event may not be that.
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:12.480
However, whatever your event is, whether it's a challenge or an opportunity, how you respond is going to determine the outcome.
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:19.839
And I'm telling you right now, you've got to program your mind to be prepared for when that happens.
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:24.079
Inside every person listening to this podcast, there is greatness.
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:25.920
I tell you every time that's the case.
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:31.680
That greatness, I call it your inner grater, greater, not greater, your inner gator.
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:35.519
But greatness doesn't grow by accident, guys.
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:48.319
It grows when you train your mind, when you challenge negative thinking, when you surround yourself with the right people, when you step outside of your comfort zone, your mind is the command center of your life.
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:53.039
My challenge for you this week is to read something that expands your thinking.
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:55.839
Spend time with someone who pushes you to grow.
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.759
And the next time negative self talk shows up, and it may be at the end of this.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:00.799
Podcast.
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.200
It may be the next 20 minutes.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:04.319
It may be next.
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:06.559
It may be Wednesday, right?
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:10.400
Whenever it shows up, I want you to use that integrator mind reset.
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:12.319
Breathe in, breathe out.
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:14.079
Ask yourself what you're thinking about.
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:15.359
What do you got to replace it with?
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.480
Because the mind you build today, remember this.
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:24.400
The mind you build today, that determines the life you live tomorrow.
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:27.599
I hope this helped.
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:31.759
Next week we're going to move into the second pillar of the integrated, and that's health.
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:36.720
Because your mind sets the direction, but your body provides the energy.
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:39.119
I hope you have a great week.
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:44.880
I hope you enjoy this, and I look forward to connecting with you again next Monday.
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:46.319
Thanks, guys.
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:53.200
Everybody, thank you so much for listening to the Finding Your Inner Gator podcast.
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:59.519
You know, if today's episode helped you, share it with someone who needs to hear this message.
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:06.880
Remember, greatness is achieved through discipline, intentional action, and optimizing the relationships around you.
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.480
I look forward to getting with you next week.
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:14.240
Now, go Gatorize your day.
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:23.440
Hello everybody and welcome to Finding Your Innergator Podcast, where we talk about discipline, relationships, and the habits that release to greatness that is already inside of you.
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.719
I'm your host, Arby Wright, and I am so glad that you're here.
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:40.240
In each episode, we'll explore powerful lessons, real life stories, and practical strategies to help you live intentionally, build meaningful relationships, and unlock your full potential.
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:46.880
But greatness isn't something you stumble into, it's something that is built every single day.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:52.560
So let's get started and begin the journey to finding your inner gator.
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.159
Hello everybody, this is RB Wright.
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.479
You are listening to Finding Your Inner Gator.
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.600
And if I haven't told you, I am so glad that you're here.
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:05.599
I'm gonna start a little bit different today.
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.519
I want to I want to tell you a quick story.
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.719
And this story is probably about 18 months old.
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:16.239
My wife, Jennifer, uh, she teaches me stuff every now and then.
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.400
Uh probably more than I admit, but she teaches me stuff now and then.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:26.000
And one day she said something that really stuck to me, and I think it really deals with what we're talking about today.
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.560
Um Friday after or Thursday afternoon, um, late afternoon.
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.319
I've got a tournament starting the next day, a king tournament.
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:41.280
I'm in my shop uh getting my gear together, checking all my rods.
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.280
Uh the team had already, or team was coming by a little bit later that night.
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:52.560
Uh, but I was out there just kind of doing some things, and I'm I'm looking, uh just I was a little distraught.
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.159
And I'll tell you why is that uh I told you I take these tournaments seriously, right?
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:10.400
And we've we've talked about tracking, we've talked about all these things, but the problem was I could not, the fish were not where they normally were, right?
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:26.560
And uh everything I'd been doing, everything that I've been talking to others about, I I just locating the fish because of water temps, uh bait pods coming in, it was just it was difficult.
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:28.000
It was difficult.
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:34.719
So I'm sitting there thinking, it's just not coming together the way I wanted it to.
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:36.960
Uh I was having some trouble finding bait.
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:42.240
I mean, it's just nothing seemed to be going right, and I was in a bad head space.
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:51.280
I knew that in order for me to even come close to accomplishing what I was gonna need to accomplish, I would have no choice but to get out of my comfort zone, right?
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.319
I was gonna have to fish structure I wasn't f familiar with.
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.879
I was gonna have to go to places that I'm not as familiar with.
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:05.520
I may even have to pull stuff in my spread that I'm not accustomed to pooling.
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.639
What typically was going to work was not going to work in this tournament.
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:23.039
So Jennifer and I were running to, I think we're going to pick up some to-go food somewhere, shaka tak or something, and she was gonna ride with me, and she walked outside, and we got in the truck and she looked at me, she goes, What's going on?
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.800
And I just said, Things aren't going the way I want them to, babe.
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.319
Uh, you know, I I know there's some things I gotta try, I gotta do.
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:38.319
I went to more detail with her, and I'm gonna go with you right now, but I just remember saying, bottom line is it's outside my comfort zone.
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.840
She looked right at me.
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.360
And she said something that that stuck with me and hit me like a ton of bricks.
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:56.960
She said, babe, you can never be committed to your goals and your comfort zone at the same time.
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:07.039
You can never be committed to your goals and your comfort zone at the same time.
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.280
Oh my God, that stuck with me, right?
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:22.560
Because the truth is most of the regrowth that we want in our lives, everything that you're trying to accomplish lives right outside of that comfort zone.
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:29.759
And that's exactly what we got to have the conversation today on the mind.
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:37.120
You see, everything starts with your mind, your beliefs, your perspective, your ability to stay focused when things get difficult.
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:45.279
Your mindset determines how you handle challenges, setbacks, opportunities.
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:53.519
Look, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna deviate just a second, and and I I've got a uh E plus R equals O.
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.600
And I'm gonna share a story.
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.959
Some of you know it, I'm gonna share a story with you on this one day.
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.480
Uh time sake today.
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.199
I don't know if it's the right thing to do, but I I'll think about it.
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.560
I may end up coming back to it.
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.480
But E plus R equals O.
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:18.480
Your event, what is happening, plus how you respond determines your outcome.
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.920
It helps determine that outcome.
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:27.360
So your mindset helps determine how you handle those challenges.
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:28.959
E plus R equals O.
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:34.480
Your mind determines how you handle your challenges, your setbacks, your opportunities.
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:48.639
If you're thinking negative, if you're constantly doubting yourself, if you're focused on the problem and the challenge versus what the solution is, I promise you you're fighting a battle that you're never going to win.
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.040
Your mind has to be strong.
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:56.639
Put it this way: the the brain is constantly creating patterns, right?
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:10.160
Every thought you repeat, every belief you reinforce, every conversation that you have with yourself, it builds those patterns and strengthens those patterns, right?
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:16.399
And over time, those patterns they they become your default thinking.
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.920
You know, you talk about the half-full, half-empty people.
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:28.319
This is why some people automatically see the opportunity while others will see a challenge.
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.759
Their minds have simply been programmed differently, right?
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:33.120
And here's the important part.
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.279
Your mind can be programmed intentionally.
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:38.879
Intentionally.
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:49.839
Here's something powerful I want you to understand is that your brain, your mind cannot possess a positive thought and a negative thought at the very same time.
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:51.600
One's going to win.
00:06:51.839 --> 00:07:05.360
If you are focused on fear, if you're focused on fear, if you're focused on a negative outcome, you cannot be simultaneously focused on the opportunity.
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:11.519
If you're focused on the problems, you cannot at the same time be focused on solutions.
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:16.639
Which means the real questions become, what are you choosing to focus on?
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:18.959
You guessed it.
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.079
Because what you focus on, ladies and gentlemen, is going to expand.
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.279
Let's go back to the programming, right?
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.120
Let's go back to the programming.
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:33.759
I I said to you, your mind can be programmed intentionally.
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.920
One of the most powerful ways to program your mind is through reading.
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.800
You know, I I love Grant Cardone, y'all know that.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:08:03.120
And um a few years back, uh I either read something he had had had written or heard a quote that he said that if you want to have a 1 to 52 advantage, a 52 to 1 advantage over your competition, read a book a week.
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:11.439
And that's because the average person after high school will start a book a year.
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.240
Most of the time people don't finish it, right?
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:15.839
Most time they don't finish it.
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:22.560
I can tell you I don't run a 52 to 1, but I do run uh about a 26 to 1.
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:23.600
I read a lot.
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.759
I I cheat, I use Audible.
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:29.040
Uh I do have a lot of uh hard copied books.
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:34.000
I got several from uh uh my buddy Sam Monroe that he's written.
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:40.000
I listen, I read Grant Cardone, Brian Tracy, Zig Ziggler, uh Brandon Bouchard.
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:46.320
Uh I got one I read uh and it's funny, I was in a meeting and this came up.
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:53.679
Um the message in the book, not the book, uh, but it was called Go for No, right?
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.480
I mean, that's completely opposite of how most people program themselves.
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:06.559
The point being, when you're reading, you're you're you're learning from people who've already walked this path ahead of you.
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.600
You're learning from their mistakes, their lessons, their thinking.
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:15.759
They didn't just wake up one day and say, Oh my gosh, I'm a genius, I'm going to pin this out so everybody can see how to do it.
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:20.720
What they're actually saying is, oh my gosh, I've been down this path.
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.000
Let me show you an easy way to do it.
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.639
When I say easy, what I should have said is easier.
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.879
It's going to take work, it's going to take action.
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:41.519
When you read consistently, ladies and gentlemen, you are literally rewriting the programming in your brain.
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.080
You're reprogramming your brain.
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.000
You know, another major influence is the people you surround yourself with.
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.320
You've heard it before, and it's true.
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.720
You've heard me say it a thousand times.
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.480
You become like the people you spend most of the time with.
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:02.720
If the people around you are negative, complaining, and settling for average, that mindset will influence you.
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:10.399
But if the people you're around are positive, disciplined, and growth-oriented, that mindset is going to elevate you.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:32.159
When you you have to make the conscientious decision, if you if you go to the break room or and you're sitting around a water cooler, if you're on a maybe this is more appropriate, if you're on a Teams call and somebody stays on afterwards and they're calling, they're constantly just complaining and griping about everything.
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.399
Separate yourself from that.
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:39.279
Because what you don't realize is you're allowing that virus to get into your program.
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.639
You've got to have an antivirus mindset, right?
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:49.440
They just hit you got to have an antivirus mindset because you are a result of the people that you associate with.
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:51.759
That's how you're programming yourself.
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.200
Let's talk about something else that holds a lot of people back.
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.039
The mind's powerful, isn't it?
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:00.080
It's powerful.
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:05.039
One of the things that holds a lot of people back is negative self-talk.
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.039
This is a conversation you have with you, right?
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.000
Sometimes it sounds like, I can't do that.
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.519
Oh man, that's too big.
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.200
I am not ready for that.
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.440
I am not good enough.
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:18.960
But here's the problem.
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:24.080
The brain begins to believe whatever you repeat.
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:32.320
If you're constantly speaking negativity in your own mind, your brain eventually accepts that it's fact, that it's truth.
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:47.679
You have to challenge those thoughts, you have to replace those thoughts, you have to redirect those thoughts because the words you speak to yourself, they shape the person you become.
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:57.279
I would be lying to you if I said, I haven't talked myself out of innergator a thousand times.
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.919
RB, who's gonna want to listen to Innergator?
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:03.039
Innergator?
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:04.720
That sounds so stupid, right?
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:05.840
What is that?
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.279
People are gonna think you're crazy, dude.
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.519
They're gonna think you're crazy.
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:18.799
Finally, I had to have a conversation with myself.
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:20.320
I said, you know what?
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.240
This system, these pillars, they help me.
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.120
They help me get my head where it needs to be.
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.840
This may not be for everybody, and that's okay.
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:42.879
But if there's one person, two person, three person, four, that it can benefit and can shape the way that their life goes and helps them change the trajectory of their life, you gotta do it.
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:44.639
Dude, you can do this.
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:45.840
You can do this.
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:47.440
Put yourself out there.
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:51.279
I had to have that conversation with me.
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:58.080
So when I'm telling you this, I'm not telling you stuff just to sound small.
00:12:58.159 --> 00:12:59.759
I'm telling you, I've lived this.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.360
Still do sometimes.
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:02.720
I live this.
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:11.600
I was at an executive health exam I had to go to.
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:16.000
And part of it was the mental aspect, right?
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:30.240
And they gave me a breathing exercise to do, and I I gotta tell you, uh, those of you that know me, uh the gator ain't never been a big fan of uh yoga and stuff like that.
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:35.120
My wife has, but I just hadn't it never I never really understood it.
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:42.159
However, I call I started calling this the inner gator mind reset, right?
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.799
I think it's something practical.
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.000
I had to start doing this when my mind gets negative, right?
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.720
Before I'd walk on stage to talk to a group of people, I have a thousand thoughts running through my head.
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.600
I would have to reset, I'd do the breathing exercise.
00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:02.320
I'd actually would hold my hands right down beside me and shake them where it was triggering a reset.
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.399
This exercise takes about 90 seconds.
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.759
Step one, I just want you to pause and breathe.
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:10.799
Just stop.
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:14.960
Breathe through your nose.
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:16.639
Hold it, right?
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:17.600
Hold it.
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.039
Then release.
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:23.120
Slowly.
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:26.480
Do that three times.
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:28.000
Breathe through your nose.
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:29.360
Inhale.
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:38.639
Hold it for a second or two, six seconds, and release.
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.120
This helps reset your nervous system.
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.879
And step two is you have to identify that negative thought.
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.840
You got to ask yourself, what thought is running through my mind right now?
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.120
Maybe it's doubt, maybe it's fear, maybe it's frustration.
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:01.360
And then step three, intention, guys, intention.
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.840
Replace it intentionally.
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:05.679
Remember what we said earlier.
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.679
You cannot possess a positive and a negative thought at the very same time.
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:17.200
So replace that negative thought with the right one, the positive thought, the better one.
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:21.919
Instead of saying, I can't do this, say I haven't figured it out yet, but I will.
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:28.960
Instead of saying it's too hard, say that challenge, that challenge is gonna make me stronger.
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:33.679
This simple reset changes the direction of your thinking.
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:38.480
And when you change your thinking, you change your actions.
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:46.720
You know, I I said to you a while ago that E plus R equals O.
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:51.600
Uh and I I was getting ready to start to close this out.
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:53.679
But I want to go back and share it.
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:58.080
It just honestly, gosh, this is one of those moments, it's a story that just hit me.
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:09.200
So my daughter, uh Jillian was in uh a student at East Carolina University.
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:20.000
Her junior year on a Thursday night, actually it's been about Friday morning, about two o'clock, uh, this was during uh COVID.
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:22.799
Uh the phone rang.
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:53.200
And as a parent of three daughters that are college age at the time, uh you either think they got into something they didn't need to get into and they don't realize they're calling me, which you would rather it be, than it be the the hospital sharing with you uh that your daughter uh has severe burns.
00:16:54.639 --> 00:17:00.159
Uh she was at a uh kind of a pep rally type party.
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:15.759
Uh there was a big ballot or pallet-induced uh bonfire, and she was standing in front of it, and guys would kind of dip the ladies for a picture with the fire being the bike backdrop.
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:38.160
The young man that went to dip her for the picture tripped, slipped, and Jill fell right into the fire, severely burned from her knees to her elbows, clothes were sticking to her, they had to scrub her with the dead skin to burn her skin off.
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:51.519
Jennifer and I drove a couple hours from Topsville to or from Fayetteville at the time to um Greenville, uh North Carolina.
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.599
I couldn't go in.
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:55.440
She had to go in.
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.799
And this process of scrubbing they had to repeat over the next couple of days.
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.440
I remember having a conversation with her via FaceTime.
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:12.640
And all I said to her is, baby, no I love you.
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:17.200
Right now I want you to cry like you've never cried before.
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:18.880
I want you to be angry.
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:28.160
But do that today, tomorrow, Sunday.
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:34.240
But Monday morning, I need you when you wake up to understand that E plus R equals O.
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:35.359
You gotta get your head right.
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:36.960
You gotta get your mind right.
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:41.920
The event and how you respond is gonna help to determine your outcome.
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:51.440
Now, on the event, there's nothing you can do to change the fact the event happened.
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:54.720
Nothing.
00:18:55.680 --> 00:19:01.759
All you can control is how you respond to that event.
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:06.319
And I guarantee you that's going to help with the outcome.
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:18.880
She cried all day Friday, all day Saturday, all day Sunday, and I knew when I reached out to her Monday morning she was gonna be crying.
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:24.480
However, what I heard was, hey, you know what?
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.440
I'm glad this happened to me and not my friends.
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.000
They couldn't handle it the way that I handled it.
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.359
Technology is pretty cool today.
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.920
She healed pretty good, still has some scars.
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:51.759
But she went on to become a pretty very successful and popular uh TikTok influencer, ended up moving to New York City on I didn't have to underwrite that, she did that herself.
00:19:51.920 --> 00:20:00.160
Uh, graduated college, worked at the marina, rocked a bikini, and learned from that.
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:23.680
You see, the the crazy thing about that incident is I know people that whether they're 21, 22 years old or 51, 52 years old, they would not have if they responded, woe is me, my life will never be the same.
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:28.880
People are gonna look at me and see scars or things along that line.
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:34.960
They would have felt sorry for themselves and never, ever truly got over it.
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:39.759
She turned around and used the event to help other people.
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:44.559
She used the event to say, these scars tell my story.
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:50.079
And she shared her story and she went on to her own form of greatness.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.160
The mind is incredibly powerful.
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.240
Your event may not be that drastic, right?
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:02.480
Your event may not be that.
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:12.480
However, whatever your event is, whether it's a challenge or an opportunity, how you respond is going to determine the outcome.
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:19.839
And I'm telling you right now, you've got to program your mind to be prepared for when that happens.
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:24.079
Inside every person listening to this podcast, there is greatness.
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:25.920
I tell you every time that's the case.
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:31.680
That greatness, I call it your inner grater, greater, not greater, your inner gator.
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:35.519
But greatness doesn't grow by accident, guys.
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:48.319
It grows when you train your mind, when you challenge negative thinking, when you surround yourself with the right people, when you step outside of your comfort zone, your mind is the command center of your life.
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:53.039
My challenge for you this week is to read something that expands your thinking.
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:55.839
Spend time with someone who pushes you to grow.
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.759
And the next time negative self talk shows up, and it may be at the end of this.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:00.799
Podcast.
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.200
It may be the next 20 minutes.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:04.319
It may be next.
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:06.559
It may be Wednesday, right?
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:10.400
Whenever it shows up, I want you to use that integrator mind reset.
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:12.319
Breathe in, breathe out.
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:14.079
Ask yourself what you're thinking about.
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:15.359
What do you got to replace it with?
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.480
Because the mind you build today, remember this.
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:24.400
The mind you build today, that determines the life you live tomorrow.
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:27.599
I hope this helped.
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:31.759
Next week we're going to move into the second pillar of the integrated, and that's health.
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:36.720
Because your mind sets the direction, but your body provides the energy.
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:39.119
I hope you have a great week.
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:44.880
I hope you enjoy this, and I look forward to connecting with you again next Monday.
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:46.319
Thanks, guys.
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:53.200
Everybody, thank you so much for listening to the Finding Your Inner Gator podcast.
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:59.519
You know, if today's episode helped you, share it with someone who needs to hear this message.
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:06.880
Remember, greatness is achieved through discipline, intentional action, and optimizing the relationships around you.
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.480
I look forward to getting with you next week.
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:14.240
Now, go Gatorize your day.
