Welcome to the Mindset Bay podcast.
If you want more confidence and motivation then you're in the
right place every week at your dose of self development advice
and strategies. I'm your host Perry Richardson,
life coach, N OP practitioner, motivational speaker and mental
health advocate. My mission is help you find more
happiness and take more action in your life.
Now let's begin. Hello, hello, hello babe.
Welcome to the Mindset Babe podcast.
How are you today? I hope that you are feeling
amazing. I am doing so good because we
are literally so close to 300 podcast episodes next Tuesday,
300, 300 and I've been celebrating all this month to
celebrate the Road to 300 podcast episode.
The Road to 300 podcast reviews. I cannot believe we have 290
podcast reviews on Apple Podcasts in the USA and I am
just feeling so blessed. I just want to say thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you for being here with me.
And to say thank you and to celebrate this huge milestone, I
announced not one, not 2, but three big surprises on the
podcast this month. The very first thing that I
dropped is that you could win a $200.00 gift card to Sephora if
you left a five star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
And then the second big surprise, which even surprised
me, my husband was reading some of the podcast reviews and he
decided he wanted to sponsor $100, that there needs to be
more than one winner. So the second big surprise is
we're actually going to give away for $25 gift cards to
Amazon. And so the podcast review
giveaway just got bigger, the stakes got higher.
There's more opportunities per you to win, how to enter.
You're going to leave a five star review on Apple Podcast or
Spotify. You can do it with both for
double entries, then you're going to screenshot those
reviews that review. Then you're going to e-mail that
review to the Perry richardson@gmail.com.
My e-mail the THE Perry Perry Richardson Richardson at
gmail.com theperryrichardson@gmail.com to
enter the podcast giveaway. My goal for the podcast giveaway
was to hit 300 podcast reviews and I can't believe we're at
290. So if you haven't left a review,
please, please, please. It would mean so much to me if
you left a review on the podcast today.
This podcast is my dream. It's my vision.
It's something that I show up to multiple times a week because I
love doing it. I sacrifice my time.
I sacrifice my energy for a dream that I had five years ago.
So please leave a review to help support my dream.
Leave a review because this podcast has impacted you, has
given you something to think about, has changed the way you
perceive yourself in the world. If it's been changing your
mindset, leave a review. Leave a review if you want to be
entered to win some prizes. Again, giving away a $200.00
gift card to Sephora, that's like the big surprise.
But also I wanted to have more winners, so I'm going to give an
additional 4 gift cards to Amazon for $25.
Leave a review for yourself. Leave a review for me.
Leave a review to support your girl's dreams.
So please leave a review. The last day to enter the
podcast giveaway is coming up. It's this Sunday, Sunday, April
26th of 2020, sixth, so at midnight.
So technically at midnight at April 27th, you'll be no longer
be able to enter into the giveaway.
So do it sooner than later to enter into the giveaway.
So those were the first two surprises that I announced.
And the third surprise is something I do only once a year.
I always host a huge live master class.
And this master class topic is how to create your dream life
while working full time. Because I understand that you go
to work, you're 9:00 to 5:00, you work your corporate job, and
when you get home, you're exhausted and there's literally
no time to actually take action towards your personal goals, to
actually create your dream life. If you want to create a
business, if you want to create a podcast, a YouTube, if you
want to create a healthy, sexy body, if you want to find your
soulmate. But after your work day, when
you close your laptop, when you shut off the computer, you are
literally exhausted and mentally checked out.
And honestly, you're just drained.
Drained from expectations, Drained from making decisions,
Drained from your coworkers, your boss, drained from giving
your energy to everyone else all day long.
And then you come home and there's literally nothing left
for you. And that's why I'm hosting this
huge event, How to create your dream life while working full
time because I used to be in your exact position, being
exhausted after work. But I found a way to still
create my dream life, to build a top rated podcast with 299
episodes, talk about consistency, creating a
business, a successful business that I'm able to serve and help
people every single day. I found my soul mate.
I got married, all while working my corporate job.
And I want to show you the way because you can do it and I can
help you. So you can register with the
link in the show notes. That link is also
www.themindsetbabe.com/class. Again, that's
www.themindsetbabe.com/class. All right, let's get into this
podcast episode. Feeling exhausted after work, I
wanted to talk about all things working energy for the next
couple of episodes. To promote the master class.
You need to be in there. You need to come to this free
event that I'm hosting so I'm able to see you.
I'm not sure if I mentioned it's online, It's over Zoom.
You don't even have to leave your house.
It is a free online event. It's Sunday, May 3rd at 3:00 PM
Pacific Standard Time. For some reason, if you're
unable to attend live, no worry. Register with the link and then
you're able to get the replay. All right, let's get into the
podcast episode Today I'm going to give you 3 habits to get your
energy back after your nine to five number one.
The very first habit is you need to create a post work ritual, a
post work ritual. Right now most of you are going
straight from work mode into life mode and there is no
transition, but there needs to be.
The example that came up for me is you wouldn't leave like a
crazy, like loud, like party and then expect to fall asleep like
the moment you get home, like you need to wind down.
You need to maybe have a snack, take off your makeup, wash your
face, brush your teeth, maybe watch like a little TV.
But your brain needs a transition period.
It's kind of like a bridge. So we need a bridge between work
and our personal lives. And when we don't give ourselves
that, we carry on the stress, the thoughts, the pressure
straight into the evening and then we wonder why we feel so
heavy. So I want you to create a post
work ritual because you already have a pre work ritual, right?
Like you get ready, you get your water, you make your coffee, you
pack your lunch. At least that's what I do before
I go to work. But typically, right, we do all
these things to prepare for work and we need to keep that same
energy for ourselves. So we need to prepare ourselves
to actually live and take action on our action statement.
In my upcoming master class, How to create your Dream life while
working full time, the very first step is deciding an action
statement, a statement you're going to take action on.
And the action statement includes your limitation, your
time limitation of working full time.
For example, my action statement is to create a successful
business while working full time.
Yours might be create a sexy healthy body while working full
time or to create a podcast while working full time.
It doesn't matter what it is. We really define your statement
in the master class. So we need a post work ritual.
But it's also your pre action statement ritual before you
actually transition and take action on your statement.
So it's post work ritual and also at the same time your pre
action statement ritual. The mission for this, the reason
why we're doing this is to release any heavy stagnant
energy from the work day. We're going to leave work at
work. And there's a couple things that
I love to do, honestly, like when I just pull in my driveway
at home, I'll put my hands on my heart, I'll take a deep breath
and I'll just say I'm releasing my work day, I'm releasing my
work day, I'm releasing my work day.
I'll do that maybe 5 or 10 times depending on how the work day
was. But some other examples that you
could do is just simply going home and taking a shower,
washing your face, like washing the day, like off of you or
moving your body, moving the energy out of you, going on a 10
minute walk, going to the gym, whatever it is, having a dance
party, listening to music, dancing in your kitchen, like
moving your body, getting that energy out of you.
But we need something to signal to your brain or done with work.
It's time to focus on ourselves, our personal goals or action
statement. So that's the very first habit.
All right, habit #2 I feel like seems very obvious, but I'm
going to say it anyway. Stop doom scrolling after work.
And it seems so obvious, but I think a lot of people avoid
this. They ignore it.
Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Listen, I am not here to shame
you. I love a good scroll.
We all do it, and it's easy to do, right?
You get home, you're tired, and your brain just wants something
easy to do to check out. So you grab your phone and
suddenly 30 minutes go by, then 45 minutes, then an hour, and
then two hours, and then before you know it right, it's time to
get ready for bed and get the restart so we could do it all
over again for tomorrow. This is something I really want
you to hear from me scrolling. Yes, it feels like rest, but the
reality is it's mental junk food.
It's like eating a huge bag of Jelly beans when you're
starving. We need you to eat real food.
Like, if you're really hungry, let's actually give your body
like, nutrition and like dense vitamins and like, you know,
like real food. Like, if you're starving, you
probably shouldn't have a bag of Jelly beans.
You can maybe have a burger, a salad, some salmon, whatever it
is, right? But you get the point.
And a lot of people are eating huge bags of Jelly beans every
single day for months, for years, for decades.
And in the middle of it all right when you're eating the
Jelly beans, it feels so good. You're like, I love this flavor
and I love that flavor. But the more you eat, the worse
you feel. And this is how doom scrolling
is. You still feel tired, you still
feel drained, You still feel unfulfilled.
Like the scrolling didn't rest, you didn't fulfill, you didn't
give you energy at all. It didn't refill you.
It just distracted you. So when you get home and you
want to just sit on the couch or lay in your bed and just scroll,
scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll. Instead, I want you to ask, what
do I actually need right now? Do I just need silence?
Do I need connection? Do I need movement?
Do I need some breaths? Do I need some space?
Because your habits are just answers to your needs, the needs
that you actually want. Maybe you want pleasure, maybe
you want to escape, maybe you want to check out.
But doom scrolling is not the way.
And it's the number one thing that's going to hold you back
from creating your dream life. I'm going to say that again.
It's the number one thing holding you back from creating
your dream life. Your phone doom scrolling in
particular. And if you have a iPhone, you
can go to your screen time and see how much time you're
spending on your phone. If you were telling yourself, I
don't have time to do what I need to do to clean my house, to
start the business, to start the podcast, to go on a date, look
at your fucking screen time, bro.
Look at it. You have the time.
You're spending the time with your phone.
I really want you to hear me, OK.
The number one thing holding you back is doom scrolling.
So that's habit #2 we need to, we need to knock it off.
We need to cut it out. Habit #3 which I kind of touched
on, but I think it deserves a whole spot, a whole section in
the podcast episode is moving your body because energy creates
energy. And I know some people might
resist this because they're thinking I'm already tired, like
I don't want to move my body. But here's honestly the truth.
Energy isn't something that you wait for.
Energy is something you create. You don't wait for energy,
honey. You create energy.
Because sitting on your couch all night after work doesn't
actually give you energy. And you can even test this
theory tonight. I'll give you permission to doom
scroll and sun your couch and watch Netflix all night long, or
Hulu, whatever. You watch Paramount Plus and I
want you to see if it actually gives you energy, if it actually
makes you feel better, if it actually replenishes you,
because I already know the answer.
I've done this experiment on myself.
A body in motion stays in motion and a body in rest stays in
rest. And I wanted to give the example
of like a snow globe. I used to collect snow globes,
like fun random fact about me when I was like in elementary
school, I used to collect them. But anywho, it's like taking a
snow globe, like when you start to shake it, right, all the
heaviness on the bottom, the fog, the mental exhaustion, it
starts to move. It starts to move throughout.
And when the snow globe is still, the heaviness, everything
just sits in the snow globe, right?
It's just that heaviness there. Does that make sense?
Like when it's just staying still, all the things are there
bubbling up, building up, versus when you shake it and move it,
the thing, the things in the snow globe like start to break
free. And I'm not saying you need to
do a full body workout. Maybe if that's like part of
your action statement, maybe that is what you actually need
to do. But just moving your body can
look like going for a walk, stretching your body, dancing in
your room, dancing in the kitchen.
I love a good dance party in the kitchen.
Literally any type of movement because your body is holding on
to the stress, the pressure, the anxiety all day long.
Just sitting in the chair in your office, in the cubicle,
wherever you are, just like sitting in there creating back
pain and shoulder pain. And you're like, Oh my goodness,
it's just because I'm getting odored out.
Like why is my body falling apart?
It's not because your body is falling apart.
It's because you're holding on to so much pressure of life and
work and your dreams slowly, like crushing you because you're
not able to express them because you're just so exhausted and
drained after work. Moving your body is how we
release some of that. So those are the three habits
you need to get your energy back.
Habit number one is creating your post work ritual AKA your
pre action statement ritual. Habit number 2 is STOP.
Please for the love of God, stop fucking doom scrolling and #3 is
moving your body again. I want to invite you to the
biggest event I'm hosting all year long.

I would love to invite you. I would love for you to come.
