Hi everyone.
I realised I don't give enough value to this forum, so I thought I'd post this here. This is one of the best things I've learned since I started with business/self-help, and thought I'd post it here in case people like it.
Disclaimer: This was a post on my blog, so please excuse the slightly odd tone. I'm not here to promote it, I just didn't want to re-write the entire thing in order to post it here.
Enjoy!
Have you ever been frustrated that you simply don’t have the energy levels to do anywhere near as much as you’d like?
You sit at a computer and work for a few hours, and you are absolutely exhausted?
It’s frustrating isn’t it? You don’t WANT to spend the rest of the evening watching TV, but you simply are too tired to crack out another few hours of work…
…even though it could mean you get TWICE as much done. This could mean more money, more free time, and more independence blah blah blah.
Hang on…something about this doesn’t make sense.
How could you possibly be tired?
Think about it – you have been sitting at a desk. You haven’t done any physical exercise. You may well have been snacking; so it’s not hunger.
It just does not make sense that you would be so tired.
The truth is…actually, you aren’t tired.
You FEEL physically drained, but when you think about it, you shouldn’t be.
You’ve seen the commuters on the way home after work, looking like zombies. Completely spaced out, exhausted beyond belief. They’re physically exhausted, but haven’t done anything physical.
Curious?
Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you.
I said you aren’t tired. And that’s true. What you are is introverted.
Now introversion in this case literally means that your attention is directed inwards, and it is STUCK.
What has happened is that you have been staring at a computer screen (or paperwork) that is about a foot from your face. Your attention has become stuck in that position. Your body has started to shut down because it isn’t in communication with its environment (the world around it).
And because your attention is stuck and you can’t focus on what’s going on around you, you feel tired.
Think about how you feel if you are trying to read a book at the end of a long day.
You simply cannot focus on the words on the page, and you get sleepier the harder you try.
Your attention stops short of the book and starts to focus inwards. The end result is drowsiness.
The best news is that this introversion is EASY to undo.
With one simple drill, you can start to un-stick your attention. Do this drill, and after a few minutes you will feel WIDE AWAKE again.
Seriously…it’s like you haven’t even been to work. All your energy will return to you, and you can easily and happily take on a few extra hours of work.
Okay, so…what is the drill?
Now, bear with me here. I’m about to say something absurdly simple….and then turbo-charge it.
Ready?
Look at things.
That’s the drill. Look at things.
Don’t switch off yet. You know I have something good here. It sounds simple, but there is some super advanced tech at play here. And what I’m about to say is life-changing
When your attention is introverted, it gets stuck in one place. By looking at things – and I mean, properly looking at them and placing your eyes on them – your attention starts to un-stick.
See, introversion is a LACK OF COMMUNICATION with your environment. When you place your eyes on things and really look at them, you regain communication with your environment and you start to extrovert again.
So, let’s scale the drill for you.
After work, or after a long stretch at a computer, and you feel exhausted, I want you to do the following:
Take a walk around the block, and look at everything. Trees, cars, buildings, people.
Put your eyes on them, and make sure you have really seen them.
How?
Notice ONE detail about everything you see.
If it’s a building, notice the shape of its roof. If it’s a person, notice the color of their hair or clothes. A car – what make is it? Is it clean or dirty? Etc etc
You will FEEL yourself start to wake up and regain energy. After a couple of times around the block, you will feel wide awake and refreshed.
Doing this drill, the drain of the last few hours of work will simply DISSOLVE away. And then, if you need, you can go right back and work all over again.
Or just enjoy the rest of your day.
Please, please, TRY this out. You will become INSTANTLY refreshed. Which means, more energy, more work (more MONEY), better use of your time. It has the works.
I, and the guys who have learned this drill, use it every day. This is a game-changer.
BONUS: People are naturally attracted to extroverted people. Doing this drill will make you more attractive to the opposite sex. Quite a few of the guys I taught this to even started to get APPROACHED by women.
