Kevin Palmieri

if you do the formula to manifest and then you don't give yourself credit for where you deserve credit, you're not maximizing the way to do it, just like if you just grind your face off every day and there isn't other stuff. That's connected and reasons beyond it and you're figuring out what strict alignment means to you and you're not visualizing the outcome. That's probably not optimal either.

Alan Lazaros

I can definitely tell with myself. I complained a lot about this past week. I had a wonderful time in many regards, but a lot of it was very outside of alignment with my goals. I can tell that I'm losing at my own game. I can tell, I can feel it. It's Alan. I wake up in the morning. You're out, you're off. You're off, you're off track. Alan, you're off track. Get back on track, get back on track, get back on track. I can tell.

Kevin Palmieri

Welcome to Next Level University, next Level Nation. Welcome back to another episode of Next Level University, where we help you level up your life, your love, your health and your wealth. University, where we help you level up your life, your love, your health and your wealth. Today for episode number 1,903,. One way, manifesting can hurt you. I got energy today. We're recording this on a Saturday. This is the first episode Alan and I have recorded together since we batched and I'm ready to roll. Alan, on the other hand, is very mousy this afternoon, so if he doesn't bring the energy, I defended him, so now he'll bring the energy. We're good. My plan has worked to perfection.

Alan Lazaros

Mousy.

Kevin Palmieri

Yeah, what do you mean? I don't know. It's a word I've heard people use before.

Alan Lazaros

I think it's suggestive of a mouse Would make sense, I feel like, if anything, I've been very outspoken.

Kevin Palmieri

Lion-like, I sense.

Alan Lazaros

I feel like, if anything, I've been very outspoken lion, lion, lion like I've been expressing many, I was out in the world this week. We flew to charleston. We were in south carolina this past week.

Kevin Palmieri

Happy gratitude day for anyone who celebrated this week I'm trying to figure out my my camera set up here. Okay, so the reason I wanted to do this episode I again, it's hard when you batch episodes cause I don't remember everything we talked about, but I was on a podcast. It was hosted by two therapists and it was just a really cool conversation and we were talking about manifestation and we were talking about purpose and feeling guided and all this stuff. And one of the hosts said I'm somebody who is very big into spirituality and very big into manifesting manifestation. What is your take on that? And I said look, I had a very spiritual phase. Deepak Chopra, seven Spiritual Laws, or whatever the book, like all of those. I did that, I went there and I enjoyed that.

Alan Lazaros

As did I.

Kevin Palmieri

At times I probably went over a little bit. I said here's, here's my only fear when it comes to manifesting. I think, at the end of the day, we like to feel guided, whether that is religion, spirituality, manifesting, whatever, it is luck, karma, we'd like to feel guided. We like to feel like we're not on this weird rock spinning around by ourselves, and none of this matters in the grand scheme of things. I said, my fear when it comes to manifesting is oftentimes from what I've seen. Again, this is a blanket statement, but hang with me. The people that I have seen be the most attracted to manifesting are a lower self-belief and a lower self-worth, and what I do not want to see happen is somebody goes and manifests an outcome and then they don't give themselves any credit for it. And it's because of the universe, it's because of whatever, it's because of this, it's because of alignment? Sure, but what about you?

Kevin Palmieri

My fear with manifesting is if you don't state you're going to do something, prove to yourself that you're capable of doing it, and then self-assign the fact that you had probably the largest role in it, realistically, in it, realistically, you had the primary role in it. You're the one who showed up every day. You're the one who did the things, you're the one who worked on yourself, you're the one who increased your competence, you're the one who sent the messages, you're the one who did a lot of that stuff. I just want to make sure that you get credit for it, because it would be very easy for me to say, well, yeah, I've manifested this life, I'm my own boss, I get to do what I want, I make my own schedule, I have a company, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it's because I got in alignment with the universe.

Kevin Palmieri

I think that's a piece of it. Right, that's a piece of it, but I don't want to negate all the time, effort, energy, focus, resources, pain that I've put into this journey, all the time, effort, energy, focus, resources, pain that I've put into this journey, just like I don't want you to if you're out there. So that's my take in today's episode. Anytime you abandon responsibility, I think you also abandon the opportunity to grow, and I just don't want to see you do that. I'm all for manifesting, I love it, awesome. Not at the detriment of your own self-belief and self-worth, though, is my take.

Alan Lazaros

We were in book club earlier today it's a Saturday when we're recording this and we were talking about Brandon, jonathan, brandon. Brandon brought up a point because we're reading a book called the Art of Thinking Clearly, and I preface every book club, almost every book club, and I say I'm saying this for me, not for you, because I'm the one who needs to lean into courage. Book club is about improving yourself and improving your life and it's about learning how to reach your potential. It's about accurate thinking, accurate thinking about yourself, others in the world and I say that because I need to give myself permission to say hard truths that might be triggering. And Brandon chimed in because we're talking about the cognitive biases, the art of thinking clearly. There's a hundred that he goes through the author, and one of them was I forget which bias we were on, but essentially Brandon said Alan has. I'll never forget when Alan brought up the manifestation equation and how most people think that manifesting is wishing checks into your mailbox, metaphorically. And he said Alan brought up the equation, which has 10 steps on it and it's basically a formula. So anyone that you see that is manifesting their goals and dreams, they are either consciously or unconsciously doing these 10 steps and all of us have what I call a kink in our hose. So, for me, step seven is strict alignment, and strict alignment is having the courage to say no to the person's, places, things and ideas that are not in alignment with your goals. And I never had the courage to do that, particularly with persons. I had the wrong people that I surrounded myself with and I didn't have the courage to say no to the barbecue and say no to the party, and say no to the trip and say no to this, that or the other thing. I didn't have the courage. And so, once I gained the courage to really sail away from my past peers that really weren't manifesting their goals and dreams, didn't have goals and dreams. That's when I started to really succeed, particularly after I met Emilia.

Alan Lazaros

And the example that I use and I've never shared this before on the podcast, but I need to, particularly in the context of this conversation is I had a client once way back. This is years and years and years and years ago Keep it anonymous, and they were extremely spiritual, for lack of better phrasing and I've touched base with this person and something along the lines of this conversation it was. I was telling my story, and it was corporate 65 to 85, 85 to 105, 105 to 125, 125 to almost 200 grand a year. My peak was 180. Back in corporate, back in my early 20s.

Alan Lazaros

I became a 1% global earner, statistically in my early 20s. That's a very, very rare thing to do in your early 20s. And she said, oh, that's because you're a Scorpio. And I said, no, that's because I decided to make six figures out of college and to become a 1% earner when I was a kid. And so the thing that I'm going to say very directly and I trigger warning for anyone out there they said, alan, that's because you're a Scorpio. I said, no, it's because I worked my ass off for the last 10 years. That's the real reason. The real reason is I believed in myself, I decided to do it. I did whatever it took, even when it was painful, even when it was hard to actually make that happen.

Alan Lazaros

And I remember being scared out of my mind when I told everyone I was going to make six figures out of college. And I remember when I got the opportunity and this is the courage piece and they offered me a hundred grand. I think it was like almost, it was like 98, something with bonuses, and I was like I need to get above a hundred. That was my goal and I said no to the offer and at the time I was only making low eighties and I was in college debt. I needed to pay off my debt. I needed money Okay, this is not like just all gravy. And I remember saying I want one, oh five. And I was in I was what? 22 years old, something like that. And I remember later that night going if they say no, I am so screwed, I don't want to go back to my old company, I don't like my job. I'm screwed if they say no. And I was kicking myself alan, couldn't you just settle on 98? Wasn't that good enough? Aren't you 22 years old? Isn't that already ridiculously good? And I, I ended up getting it and I ended up working for that company. I got promoted to outside sales and the company was called cognex. They sell industrial automation equipment.

Alan Lazaros

But my point is is that? No, it's not because I'm a scorpio? Yeah, and nothing against astrology. If you want to think about that stuff, I get it. You, you want to study that stuff? I, I get it. There's, there's something to it. There is, there's something to it. I don't want to go on the extreme and say there's nothing to me being a scorpio okay, but here's what I will tell you. That is not the reason I succeeded. Are there other non-scorpios who also make six figures out of college? You're goddamn right, there are. That is not the deciding factor and there are, there.

Kevin Palmieri

Are there scorpios that don't make six figures out of college? Yes, exactly yes are some serial killers leos? I'm sure they are. Are all of them? Probably not, no, definitely not. I'm a leo, so that's the only.

Alan Lazaros

I don't know a ton about the yeah, the other signs, but but the point is is you have to attribute it to the things that are within your control. Kev used to say I feel like superman in the gym and clark kent outside of the gym. I don't believe in myself. Outside the gym, it's yeah, because in the gym you're in control of the outcome. You know how to squat, you know how to bench press, you know how to get jacked, you know what to eat, you know how to track calories, you're more aware. So you're more in control. You have more discipline, more self-efficacy. You can look all this stuff up. It's. It's ultimately that it's where do you feel in control? And we're reading the art of thinking clearly. He said some people would rather have a map that's wrong than no map at all, because no map at all feels too scary.

Kevin Palmieri

Well, in Same as Ever, by Morgan Hussle. He says unfortunately, many people, and probably most people, care more about certainty than they do. Accuracy. Certainty of, I just want to know. I want to know the answer, even if the answer isn't the right answer. But to Alan's point, I want you to whatever level of spirituality you want to know. I want to know the answer, even if the answer isn't the right answer. But to Alan's point, I want you to whatever level of spirituality you want to have. Awesome, I love that.

Kevin Palmieri

I'm not just like Alan said, I'm not making that wrong. I just want to make sure that you give yourself credit for the things that you're doing, because if not, then how do you replicate the results that Oftentimes, I think, when people talk about alignment, they leave out the fact. That Oftentimes, I think, when people talk about alignment, they leave out the fact that, yeah, you're the one surrounding yourself with the right people places, thoughts, ideas, feelings, behaviors. You're the one who's doing that and, yes, then things can start to happen. But I don't know. I just I want to make sure that you get the level of belief that you deserve based on the effort that you're putting in, Because if not, then how do you replicate the results? Feeling guided is wonderful. Feeling supported is wonderful, Feeling on purpose and on path and on mission, and all that is wonderful. I just want to make sure that you're building the competence to continue doing it.

Why visualization and strict alignment are essential

Kevin Palmieri

That's my main focus and that's what we were talking about in that episode. I said I love manifesting, I'm all for it. We have a framework. We've done so many episodes, We've done meetups on it. Huge fan Do. I think, just like everything else in the world, it's a little bit misunderstood. Sure, Right, I think it's really hard to understand everything. So sometimes we pick the things that we like from something. We just try to do those. But I just want to make sure that you're getting the. I want to make sure you're getting the most out of it. In my Again, this is my opinion. This is not factual necessarily. My opinion is, if you do the formula to manifest and then you don't give yourself credit for where you deserve credit, You're not maximizing the way to do it. That Just like if you just grind your face off every day and there isn't other stuff that's connected and reasons beyond it, and you're figuring out what strict alignment means to you and you're not visualizing the outcome that's probably not optimal either.

Alan Lazaros

So there an optimal good. Sorry, you know you're good. What did you used to?

Kevin Palmieri

think manifestation meant.

Alan Lazaros

And again, none of these are strict definitions.

Kevin Palmieri

This is I didn't even know I had. I had no until I, until I read, no, I watched, leave it up to kevin. I watched a movie on the law of um the secret, and that is when I, but even then I remember thinking I don't think so can you go through that?

Kevin Palmieri

there there was a lot of examples of, yeah, I was very broke and then I just started thinking about it and then I manifested wealth. It's like, well, I feel like we're leaving out some steps. Definitely, I feel like we're leaving out some steps and I just think it's confirmation bias of you're going to talk about the thing that you think worked the best. You're going to talk about the thing that you think had the biggest difference. It made the biggest difference, and then, when you do that, that's the thing you focus on and that's the thing you talk about, and that's the thing you focus on and that's the thing you talk about. And then it becomes this it's very easy to what's the saying? When you have a, when you have a hammer, everything's a nail. Or is it the other thing? When you have a nail, everything's a hammer, whatever the?

Alan Lazaros

saying is when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Kevin Palmieri

I don't really understand that like this doesn't look. I have a mug right here. This looks nothing like a nail. This looks like a mug.

Alan Lazaros

I think it should be. When you have a nail, what it means is when I have a hammer in my hand, I start seeing nails. Remember when we were in Boston it should be the other way.

Kevin Palmieri

I think it should. If you have a nail, you ever hammered something without a hammer? Of course you have. That's the new saying.

Alan Lazaros

That's my saying Hello, hello, hello, nlu listener. Thank you, as always, for listening to Next Level University. Real quick, I just want to jump in and let you know about the Next Level Dreamliner. This is a journal that I use every single day. Achieve your dreams 90 days at a time. It breaks down your dreams into goals, milestones and daily habits. We hope you enjoy it. The link will be in the show notes. I remember we were in downtown boston. We went to a meetup back in kevin and i's traveling days yes, aka wandering around because we didn't know what the hell to do. It's funny. We did learn a lot but, my goodness, we were lost. And I remember we were downtown Boston and I saw tons of Hondas and it was before I was car shopping. I was looking for a reliable vehicle and I just noticed every Honda. It was Hondas. Remember Honda Subaru? You helped me buy that Subaru and you're like you ever consider a Subaru, but of course you had a WRX so you had driven Subarus, so it makes sense, yeah so that's what.

Alan Lazaros

That is Manifestation. What did you think it was? Okay, better question I do believe that one of my strengths is I can tell when I'm in alignment with a goal and when I'm not. I don't know if my brain is calculating it, I don't know if it's energy, I don't know if it's physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. I think it's all of them. I can also tell when other people are in or out of alignment With their goals. That's a thing I I can tell. I have one client I'm thinking of right now. She's, she's on it, she's In alignment, and I can tell when she's off the rails. I can just tell. I don't know how fully. Okay, I can definitely tell with myself.

Alan Lazaros

I I complained a lot about this past week. I had a wonderful time in many regards, but a lot of it was very outside of alignment with my goals. I can tell that I'm losing at my own game. I can tell, I can feel it. Alan, I wake up in the morning. You're out, you're off, you're off track. Alan, you're off track, get back on track. Get back on track, alan, you're off track, get back on track. Get back on track, get back on track. I can tell. I want to ask you, kev, can you tell when you're off track, like how would you know, how would you know, that you're outside of alignment with your goals.

Kevin Palmieri

If I wasn't doing the behaviors. I think that's the best example, the best example I can give you said you're in alignment with fitness.

Alan Lazaros

You've been. You feel good about fitness. Yeah, okay. Manifestation means you need to be in alignment with your goals. Boom, okay, you're in alignment with fitness. How do you know? Can you feel it or like what is it for you?

Kevin Palmieri

Yeah, I can feel it, but I think I just feel the fact that I've been doing it consistently. I'm more conscious of what I eat. Am I eating? Am I tracking every calorie? No, but I'm thinking well, okay, this has a lot of protein, let me optimize for that.

Kevin Palmieri

So my conscious and unconscious mind are more focused on that than they have been in the past that's why I believe that I'm just like if alan and I right now or it's, it's there's what 30, 32, 33 days left in the year 32, I think. As of today, recording this, we're in the last month of the year and we're really focused on let's finish this month. So let's finish this year strong. Let's finish this month strong. I'm going to be more focused on money. There will be things that present themselves to me that seem like they come out of nowhere, but they are not out of nowhere yeah, it's just like they've always been there because I'm car shopping.

Alan Lazaros

They've always been there Because of car shopping, they've always been there.

Kevin Palmieri

They've always been there. It's the if right now. Okay, this is a great way to think about it. If, right now, you're getting lonely and you're thinking to yourself oh my goodness, I gotta go see my family on the 25th, I'm celebrating Christmas with my family and I cannot show up single again. Can't do it Every time. When are we going to have the grandkids? All that shit? You're going to notice people that you've never noticed before and you're going to be open to opportunities that you maybe have never been open to before.

Alan Lazaros

Everybody goes to the bar more when they're single, not me. They go out more.

Kevin Palmieri

I shouldn't say the bar, I go out less when I'm single, because then I can just be a total. All right, let me rephrase Everyone swipes on Hinge more when they're single.

Alan Lazaros

Well, the point is that everyone's more. One of my favorite things about being in a long-term committed relationship is it cuts out all the noise. Yeah, you don't have to focus on it. There's no focus. Yeah, it's the best thing in the world, I don't have to worry about it. But the opposite of that. But the opposite of that.

Kevin Palmieri

If I said, you have 30 days to find a partner. Your conscious and unconscious brain are going to be searching for that more than they ever have before, so you're going to see things that you never saw before. That is a large piece of manifestation. Then it's about moving the pieces. Well, okay, where would I meet someone that I would aspire to be? Yeah, there's an event coming up. Cool, let me put myself in the orbit of other people that might be interested in what I want. That's something you're doing. That's on you. That's conscious, that's conscious behavior. That's conscious effort. That's conscious planning. I never understood, I had never heard of manifestation until I watched the movie on the Secret. Then I was like this is absolute garbage.

Kevin Palmieri

Because the way it was just so sensationalized. Then, probably like two years later, you and I were working together, three years later, two or three years later, and then I started to read books about manifestation and the law of attraction. I said, okay, it's not what it was shown to be, but there are some fundamentals that I think would be really, really impactful. Also, now more than ever, I think Think and Grow Rich is terrible. Now, when I think back about it, that's a book that everybody recommends. I think that's a terrible book.

Alan Lazaros

There are some parts of it that I think are very powerful, and most of it is. Put it this way, as I've grown and evolved from the beginning of my self-improvement journey 10 years ago and obviously it wasn't the beginning, but 10 years ago, obviously it wasn't the beginning, but 10 years ago alan, version 2.6, listened to slash, read, think and grow rich and was intrigued and interested and and was compelled. Now, when we read it in book club, I think, for book eight or something I think we're at 19 now I wish I had never picked it, not because there aren't powerful principles in there, but because there's definitely some racism and sexism that I didn't realize. But also it's much less sound. It's just outdated, it's old, it's not as based on the neuroscience. I listened to a ted talk earlier today about how, if you can learn how to control your attention, you can captain and dictate your own life, and it talks about how, if you can't control your attention, you're basically a victim to circumstance, and that's very true when you look at the neuroscience of. There was a Venn diagram in the TED talk that talked about passion, attention and practice. So you set a goal to become a better basketball player. You're passionate about basketball. You put your attention on dribbling and you practice dribbling every day with your left hand. You're going to be better than the version of me that doesn't, or whoever that never practices with their non-dominant hand and with Think and Grow Rich.

Alan Lazaros

With these different books that are older, I've come to find that there's merit to them, but there's always garbage. Every book is a percentage great and a percentage that I think is garbage. And as I recommend books, because that's actually something that I've been really grateful people, even emilia's sister this past week. She said what are your book recommendations? I always get asked what books. I love it. I really appreciate it.

Alan Lazaros

If anyone wants book recommendations, please reach out. I love, love, love recommending the right book for the right person at the right time. I mean it's one of my favorite things. Every single one of my clients I shouldn't say every single one of my clients, I shouldn't say every single one, 80 of my clients I have them reading a specific book that is optimal for for their growth right now. So if you're focused on habits atomic habits is great. If you're focused on manifestation, it would be what would be a good one. Probably your erroneous zones by wayne dyer would be a good one. That was one of the first ones I ever recommended to kev I thought it was a book about sex.

Kevin Palmieri

I thought it was your erogenous zones.

Practical examples of conscious manifestation

Alan Lazaros

I was like hell, yes but these books are, there's chapters in the book and the wrong book at the wrong time is going to be detrimental. The right book at the right time is going to be very constructive. So right now I have kevin reading jim collins business books because it's very constructive for him right now to start thinking that way, but ultimately I forget where we're going with it. But manifestation what I thought it was versus what it really is is very different. And if anyone wants the manifestation equation, it's 10, it's a circle and there's 10 steps and it's very clear and descriptive and you can do a self-awareness test and a self-assessment, rather, of where your kink in your hose is.

Alan Lazaros

Everyone I've ever done this with and I've done this with dozens, if not hundreds of people you always have one that's really low. So mine was strict alignment was super low. So I was a. You know, strategy was a 10 for me, but strict alignment was a 2. So I'm only going to ever be able to manifest that level 6, because 10 plus 2 is 12. Divided by 2 is six. So if you take this assessment, you'll realize where your bottlenecks are. And those are the things that need work. And and if you wanted, if what you wanted was what you needed. You'd already have it. What's happening? And kevin mentioned this at the beginning of the episode. He said what you like doing isn't the issue. If you like manifestation, that's probably not the problem.

Alan Lazaros

Right, right, right if you like, strategy books, that's probably not the problem, so you got Right. Right, if you like strategy books, that's probably not the problem. So you've got to go to where you don't like. So for me, I didn't like emotional intelligence books. I didn't like the body keeps the score and trauma. I didn't like studying that stuff, but that was what I needed.

Kevin Palmieri

Yeah, this is the last thing before we we get out of here. I think to myself somebody might say, Kev, you've manifested being in good shape and my initial thought is, first of all, thank you. I appreciate that. Then I think of all the times that I've traveled and how I pack stuff that most other people just would never pack because they're not as focused on fitness. My wrist, I have my wrist, have my wrist straps for pull day back day. I don't do pull day, I do back day. My wrist straps for heavy presses, my belt and my knee sleeves in my trunk. At all times when I travel, I always bring at least my wrist straps and my mobility stuff. I bring my mobility bands because it's a focus for me. If you're somebody who that's a really good example of this, I don't know what would you bring when you train.

Alan Lazaros

I brought my computer and all my tech set up so that I can work.

Kevin Palmieri

I'm trying to think of something that's not related to productivity, if you're okay, if you're trying to be one of the best forensic pathologists on the planet, let me pick that out. A random thing you have books that I don't have. You have tons of books that I would just never read and you most likely bring them with you in case you get stuck in between meetings or whatever. It is hypothetically in this analogy that because you have made the things around you more in alignment with your goals than they would be for me, that that is a huge, huge, huge piece of it. There's, what is it when you hold on, hold on? It's a p word.

Kevin Palmieri

Within a certain distance of p word proximity, proximity you have things that are in alignment, in closer proximity to you than I do, just like I might have different stuff when it comes to podcasting, when I travel, I always have my microphone. I always bring one of these mics, always when I travel, always Just in case. I don't know what's going to happen, but I always bring a microphone just in case. If you're a musician, if you're a rapper, you always bring a microphone with you. You always have your notepad. You always have certain things because that's what you're manifesting. So that is my, that is. That is the end for me. That's all I have.

Alan Lazaros

It's fired up. Fired up about this episode. Yeah, if you want the manifestation equation, it'll be at a link in the show notes. I'm going to send it to the production team and the self-assessment will be very powerful. Yeah, it's been, it's it took. I used to say it took 30 years to create that.

Kevin Palmieri

It's many years, many moons, some would say.
