We all know that how you feel on the inside radiates the people on the outside.

0:04.0

And for people like you and I, we want to bring good energy to the meetings, to the Zoom sessions, to the phone calls,

0:10.0

just to walking into Starbucks. We want to bring good energy because that's the kind of people we are, right?

0:15.0

So here's my question. When was the last time you did a little social cleansing?

0:19.0

Specifically, look at your Facebook, look at Instagram, look at LinkedIn, look at Twitter, look at TikTok, look at all these sites that we spend our time on, and ask yourself this question. This person right now that I'm following, do they bring me energy? Do I feel better because I saw their post, checked out their video, watched their message? Did I learn something? Did I get a dopamine rush? Like, wow, I didn't know that. I'm going to take action on that. If that's the case, continue to follow them. But just consider, if I'm bringing you bad energy right now, if you're watching this and you're like Tom Ferry, you make me mad because I'm not doing this stuff, screw you, then I say, unfollow me. Just like I would

0:56.0

tell you, to unfollow the sites and the people that when you look at it, it like triggers you.

1:01.9

You get upset. It's information that doesn't inspire you, doesn't make you feel good.

1:06.1

I'm not talking about facts and data that maybe we need as business professionals to keep us

1:10.4

moving forward.

1:10.9

But you know what I'm saying. Like the old line about headlines do more to terrify than to clarify.

1:16.6

Why would you have that on your site? Do you really want to feel bad? Is that the highest

1:22.1

of the message of your time? I'm telling you for me, with all the pressures happening in business, in life, as a father, as a husband,

1:28.7

doing all the things we do in business, because remember how you feel on the inside radiates to the people on the outside.

1:35.8

And don't we really want to radiate more love, more joy, more appreciation, more happiness, more searching to understand versus ugh.

1:44.9

Makes sense.

1:46.0

So hey, maybe this is your last mindset Monday.

1:48.4

And if that's the case, I wish you blessings in the future.

1:51.4

Otherwise, you'll be watching you every single week,

1:53.6

and we'll keep moving forward together.

1:55.6

Time for a little social cleansing.

1:57.1

Get to work.
