This new video from David Bayer kickstarted my day in an empowering way!
Every morning I begin the day with powerful sharing and declarations at 5:30 am in a group call with the inspiring individuals of the Identity Shift community with This month the focus has been self-worth.
Daily practice recalibration for empowered existence as I AM
And what we discussed was reinforced by the messages David Bayer delivered...
You Control Your Future
Most people burn themselves out chasing success. Hustle culture says the only way to achieve your goals is to grind harder. Yet even after long hours, many still feel stuck, stressed, and behind.
David Bayer flips this script. In his episode Become a Container for Miracles, he explains that success doesn’t come from forcing outcomes but from becoming the container strong enough to hold your vision. When you can hold the vision without collapsing into stress or doubt, life brings the “how.”
(Highlights from transcript via ChatGPT)
🔑 Key Takeaways
- Stop chasing the “how.” You don’t need a perfect plan or hustle culture. Your role is to hold the vision, not figure everything out.
- Being vs. doing. Who you’re being (your state) creates outcomes more than what you’re doing.
- Collapsing happens when stressed. Doubt, overwhelm, or stress = collapsing into the old nervous system instead of being the container.
- Two states of being.
- Vision grows as you grow. Ten years ago, his dream was $100K savings; now it’s global regenerative economy. Start with yours, no matter the size.
- Miracles show up when you hold the container. Resources, people, and opportunities arrive without forcing them.
🛠️ Five Practices to Hold the Container
- Limiting Beliefs Work
- Support Nervous System Downregulation
- Address Compulsive Behaviors
- Disconnect in Nature
- Community & Immersion
🚀 Key Actions
- Write down your big vision (personal or global). Don’t worry about “how.”
- Start a limiting beliefs inventory: catch thoughts that trigger stress and reframe them.
- Choose one nervous system support habit this week (e.g., no screens after 6 pm or reduce caffeine).
- Plan a nature disconnect day within the next month.
- Connect with a like-minded community or accountability partner to practice holding the vision.
✨ Bottom line:
Your job isn’t to hustle harder. Your job is to be the container strong enough to hold the vision. When you do, opportunities, resources, and miracles begin to flow in ways you could never plan.
👉 If you’ve been stuck in stress or grind mode, try shifting focus: be the nervous system that holds the vision. That’s how you bend reality.

📺 “Give Me 9 Minutes and I'll Shift Your Reality” – David Bayer
🔑 Key Highlights
- Time ≠ real thing – clocks measure change, not a force called time.
- Physics confirms relativity – time bends/flexes, depends on perspective (GPS proves this).
- Mind constructs time – past = memory reconstruction, future = simulation. Only now exists.
- Elastic perception – anxiety stretches minutes, joy makes hours vanish.
- Scarcity mindset trap – complaining about “not enough time” = being caught in past/future, losing presence.
- True leverage is timing – when present and relaxed, life aligns: synchronicities, opportunities, right action at right moment.
🎯 4 Practical Distinctions
- Separate urgent vs. important
- Apply Parkinson’s Law
- Trust the Great Plan
- Practice Harmony, not Hustle
✅ Takeaway Actions
- Pause when feeling rushed → breathe and return to now.
- Label tasks: urgent vs important before acting.
- Shrink your time-box on work to prevent waste.
- Release control when plans shift; re-align with what’s unfolding.
- Replace hustle with harmonious, present action to activate timing.
- Remember: You can’t run out of now.
👉 You can’t run out of now. You are never late, never behind, never out of time.
When you stop chasing hours and start trusting timing, life lines up... opportunities appear, the right decisions click, and flow becomes natural.
✨ This is the practice
Not racing the clock, not grinding harder, not performing for worth.
The practice is being present, steady, and strong enough to hold the vision.
When you stop chasing time and start trusting timing, when you bring your worth into every room without negotiation, then instead of trying to bend reality to your will you become the container that reality bends around.
Opportunities, resources, and miracles flow - not because you proved yourself - because you are aligned, sovereign, and true.
