Creating Space with Wes Knight

You hear me often talk about “The WAVE of energy” on my Instagram Story… I get so many questions on just what I am talking about so I wanted to use this Mindset Monday to address this topic. I LOVE THIS TOPIC!

So…I’ve been encouraging you to follow your excitement in life. For those of you looking to make changes in your life, you are asking…

Wes, how do you know what excites me.

This is a very simple question…. demanding a very simple answer.…

What lights you on fire. What do you engage in and get lost within the moment? What do you enjoy so much that you forget to eat, or sacrifice sleep to get involved with? Clue into that? There’s something to that….

You are not meant to immediately know how to get to build a business out of this or HOW to turn this into your dominate source of income. You are only meant to follow what makes you feel GREAT.…

Here is why….

The UNIVERSE is an incredible organism. One of many incredible truths. One of those truths…. is that the UNIVERSE provides you with a reality that is a DIRECT REFLECTION of your inner psyche…

What does this mean you ask?

The UNIVERSE operates on what is called “FEEDBACK LOOPS”. Feedback loops can be described very simply. You are the creator of your reactions - THE CREATOR OF YOUR REALITY. Meaning you choose how to react to EVERY - SINGLE - THING that happens to you in your physical reality.

FOR EXAMPLE….

When the person cuts you off on the interstate, this has NO MEANING WHAT-SO-EVER. THIS action is completely NEUTRAL. It is how you react to that situation that creates your reality. If you immediately choose to be PISSED because this person has cut you off, you immediately CHOOSE to shift your energy into a negative space. The environment or the inner thoughts inside you become e AGGRESSIVE… NEGATIVE….

The attention YOU give the negative emotion increases the chance that you will interpret anything that happens to you thereafter as NEGATIVE. YOUR negative energy grows. The people that you interact with can then feel your HEAVY - NEGATIVE emotion and they will reciprocate your energy.

This can easily be shifted …

SHIFTED BY CHOOSING TO CHASE WHAT EXCITES YOU. Choosing to find a way to live a life of excitement. This will slowly help you create an excited psyche. Each day you are waking up and putting your attention towards what MAKES YOU STOKED! This is the beginning of a shift in habits. You are beginning to put your focus towards things that are food for your soul… You are happier inside because your time is spent doing things that you enjoy. Because you are ha ppy inside - you reaction to situations have a positive interpretation.

MAYBE I SHOULD GIVE MYSELF MORE DISTANCE FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO THAT I AM NOT ENDANGERING MYSELF FOR SOMEONE WHO GETS BETWEEN THIS SPACE…. the action no longer has a control over your energy because your habits have shifted to the positive space…

YOU ARE THE CO-CREATOR OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

If you are w orking in a job that you hate or are surrounded by people that feed you with negativity, the first step is becoming aware. WAKING UP to your reality… this is where the magic begins…. you must be patient though.

You MUST recognize that your belief systems have been structured through YEARS of reinforcement from your environment. Without you having any clue. People have taught you that you must stay in these jobs to have success or happiness. People have taught you that LIFE IS HARD and that it must always be a GRIND to get what you want.

I WANT TO FLIP THAT THEORY ON ITS HEAD… WHY MUST IT ALWAYS BE HARD… WHY CANT YOU ENJOY WHAT YOU DO SO MUCH THAT THE TIME YOU SPEND WITH IT BECOMES A BLESSING… AN ABSOLUTE JOY OF AN EXPERIENCE. WHY DOES WORK HAVE TO BE TERMED HARD… what about the work being FRAMED as INTENTIONAL - PURPOSEFUL - DIRECTED…

So TODAY… IF YOU’RE NOT SURE WHAT EXCITES YOU… THATS OK… BEGIN THE PROCESS… DABBLE IN NEW THINGS - PUSH YOUR COMFORT LEVEL IN A MISSION TO FIND YOUR EXCITEMENT AGAIN.

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW WHAT EXCITES YOU… BEGIN THE PROCESS FOCUSING MORE OF YOUR ATTENTION ON THAT THING… YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO KNOW HOW IT WILL BECOME YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE BUT YOU ARE MEANT TO CONTINUE THE PROCESS.

SLOWLY FIGURE OUT HOW TO GIVE MORE OF YOURSELF TO YOUR EXCITEMENT…. AS MORE OF YOUR TIME GOES TO BEING EXCITED YOU INADVERTENTLY TRAIN YOUR MIND TO BECOME MORE POSITIVE…

YOUR WAVE OF ENERGY GROWS BECAUSE YOU ARE MORE POSITIVE INSIDE - THE VIBE YOU GIVE OFF TO THE PUBLIC IS MORE ATTRACTIVE SO PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO YOU - TO HELP YOU…

SLOWLY YOU WILL FIND WAYS TO TURN YOUR EXCITEMENT INTO A PURPOSE AND AT THAT POINT… THE PROCESS WILL BEGIN TO UNVEIL ITSELF… YOU WILL TURN YOUR LIFE INTO A LIFE WORTH LIVING… YOU WILL BE A PERSON WORTH BEING… AND YOUR IMPACT ON THE WORLD WILL BE A POSITIVE ONE…

HARNESS THE ENERGY OF THE UNIVERSE - HAVE THE COURAGE TO CO-CREATE THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS ALONG WITH THE HELP OF THE UNIVERSE…. THE LIFE YOU BELIEVE YOU DESERVE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE…. THAT IS THE BRAINWASHING OF YOUR PAST THAT YOU SHOULD DECIDE TO CHANGE…. START TODAY

Odd's are you aren't listening with the intent of understanding. I'm willing to bet that 90% of the time you are listening with the intent to respond.

Don't worry, most of us have this problem. This is something that is natural to the human experience. We send the experiences that we hear through the "autobiographical filter" so that we can generate a response for our peers. This tactic has gotten us nowhere.

As the recent events in Charlotte have shown us, maybe it's time to improve the way we listen. Maybe, just maybe, this is the first step to improving ALL of our quality of lives here on Earth.

Ep.15 Live from her apartment in Malmo, Sweden, Erin McLeod joins the show. Erin, a 4-time World Cup participant, 2-time Olympian, (Bronze Medal Winner) and Canada's All-Time Best Women's Soccer Goalkeeper, is much more than soccer. She is a student of mindset, mentality, art and life.

On this episode you will get a peek into Erin's mind and see just how/why she was arguably able to climb to the title of the "worlds best goalkeeper" in women's soccer. She truly is an incredible athlete and an even better human. You'll love her story.

The podcast show-art this week is the graffiti piece that Erin constructed on the kitchen wall in her apartment in Malmo. This was my view during the interview which took place during my birthday trip to Sweden.
