5. Physical Body
•
We all know how important our
physical body is
•
Don’t look at your body as
some short term goal and go
on crash diets
•
Care for it on a daily, minute
by minute basis
•
No junk food, seven to nine
hours sleep, EXERCISE
•
Avoid excess alcohol

6. Emotional Body
•
Learn to be positive, surround yourself with positive
people
•
It’s IMPORTANT to avoid people who bring you
down, don’t be cruel, avoid engaging or dwelling
•
Energy leaks out of you if someone is draining you

7. Emotional Body
•
How do you do this?
•
Acknowledge
•
Observe
•
Find out ways to engage
less
•
The pain will begin to wither
•
Don’t be cruel

8. Mental Body
Your mind wants to be the
BOSS. It makes you keep
thinking crappy stuff, it
makes you obsess, worry,
fear, be depressed, more
thinking … and eventually!
!
BURNOUT!

9. Mental Body
•
You need to tame your mind otherwise it will make you a slave
•
How do you tame? By making it tired, by sweating it, by
completely utilising it
•
Set goals, make lists, come up with ideas, tire your mind and
do this EVERYDAY
•
Come up with ten business ideas
•
Ten ways you can find more time for yourself
•
Ten ways I can make money RIGHT NOW

10. Spiritual Body
Do not time travel.

11. Spiritual Body
•
What is time travelling?
•
Obsessing on past regrets
•
or about future anxieties
•
These are memories and speculation. You
CANNOT control these
•
Do not time travel, live right now

12. Spiritual Body
•
Money Worries
•
Relationship Fears
•
Insecurities
•
How will tomorrow be?
•
Will I be judged because of yesterday?
•
All of this doesn’t exist. It’s your mind pretending.

13. Spiritual Body
•
Most people think the word “Spiritual” means “God” or
“Religion”, that’s not true. It means to not time travel, to live in
the present
•
Pray - for a few seconds of the day just be thankful
•
Meditate - try meditation for a few minutes everyday, it’s not
that hard
•
Being grateful - think of everyone in your life you are grateful
for
•
Forgiving - picture everyone who has done you wrong.
Forgive them.

15. “Its hard to do all of this every day. Nobody is
perfect. I don’t know if I’ll do all of these things
today. But I know when I do it, it works.”
– James Altucher
