Good morning, everyone. Good evening, good afternoon, wherever you are, and welcome to this week's

weekly energy boost. My name is Elie Sheva, and I'm here this lovely Monday morning with David,

and we are entering the last of these three weeks that we spoke about a couple weeks ago.

And today's topic, again, it's one of those funny titles.

It's spiritual mind games.

And it's really referring to the need for us to

trick ourselves. Spiritually speaking, a lot of the teachings and the wisdom, even that we share

on weekly energy boost are about taking our thoughts, our preconceived notions,

the way we were raised, what our natural tendencies are, and to trick ourselves, to turn what we

think is real basically on its ear, from that place draw to us the reality that we

really want. I'm sure a lot of us that are listening right now can say, you know, my life is

chaotic or even if my life isn't chaotic, the world is chaotic. And it doesn't seem like

there's very much I can do to make a difference with all my good intentions,

with all of the spiritual content, the uplifting content I consume.

Everybody's out to get, you know, for themselves.

Nobody's really, they're throwing more daggers than they are hugging and comforting

one another out there in the world.

So what, what difference can I make?

And today we're going to talk about where the real work is,

how to play the mind games with yourself that result in true and lasting change,

and how not to fall to what everyone else is doing and what the masses are up to and what seems to be

the trend, it's always to go the opposite of that. And that I think is the biggest mind game.
