INTRODUCTION
Constant Battle
The author aims to help readers take ownership of their lives and understand the importance of protecting their peace. They believe that only 8% of people actually put in the work to create change, and the goal is for readers to finish the book and become an "8 percenter" by understanding the importance of protecting their peace.
The battle for peace is a silent one, and many people have lost their peace due to not being perfect. In today's world, we often fail to talk about our silent battles, which can lead to depression and other issues. The author's life was shaped by his best friend Anthony's suicide, which led him to redefine his mission and create RehabTime, a nonprofit organization that has inspired people to recognize their greatness and become the best version of themselves.
The author believes that God has allowed him to have certain experiences in his life to assist others on the path toward peace. He has learned to identify common themes in people who are losing their peace and helps them disconnect from what may be stealing their peace.
The key ingredient for unlocking ultimate satisfaction and true happiness is the five-letter word P-E-A-C-E, which is the key to unlocking inner wealth. Peace does not depend on everything going on around you; it depends on what is going on inside you. By declaring war against anything and everything that is taking away from your peace, readers can unlock ultimate satisfaction and true happiness.
Peace is defined as freedom from disturbance and tranquility, and a state in which there is no war or a war has ended. In today's world, there is a constant battle for our peace, both internal and external. To help individuals understand their worth and the battle lines, the author offers a personal prescription called the Protect Your Peace Process. This process involves nine principles, divided into three sections: Protect Your Energy, Protect Your Mind, and Protect Your Soul.
The first section discusses the power of boundaries, the importance of disconnecting from negative distractions, and knowing one's own worth. The second section teaches how to trust one's vision, guard focus, and shift perspective. The final section, Protect Your Soul, discusses how to create happiness, align internally, and live in fulfillment.
A critical message from the author is that in 2015, life was bittersweet for him. His career was taking off, and he embarked on a 32-city tour. However, he burned out and had very little peace. He felt like he was in prison within his purpose, but he had yet to understand boundaries and other principles of peace.
In San Francisco, he experienced a moment of emptyness but determination to fill others up. He asked God to fill him up with peace, which became a standard of living his life. This moment led him to seek what he now sees as the single most important thing in life: peace.
The author hopes this journey inspires others to pursue their own journey, which might look different from their own. They are here to give you everything they have, but it all starts with you.
PART I
Protect Your Energy
PRINCIPLE 1
SET BOUNDARIES
Protecting your energy is crucial for personal well-being and sending a powerful message of self-worth. By setting firm boundaries, recognizing the importance of disconnecting when needed, and understanding one's own worth, you can establish a protective circle around yourself. The world comes at us fast, with demands and requests pouring in from various sources, including work, communities, friends, families, and strangers. The more you let these demands in, the more you give yourself away, leading to burnout and feeling stuck.
To set boundaries, it is essential to grow emotional intelligence and learn how to stand firm on them. Many people struggle with setting boundaries due to worry and guilt, which are first cousins. Our ideas about self-worth often come from how others see us than from how we see ourselves. If we are programmed this way, we may feel we have to choose what others want over what we want to avoid the painful guilty feeling.
By flipping the script on these negative feelings, you can create a boundary that is not just about pleasing others but also about you. When you feel worry or guilt, it means that you care and are connected to the people around you. However, you should also prioritize yourself and pour love into yourself first. This will help you maintain a sense of self-worth and connection, preventing you from giving up on yourself and others.
In summary, protecting your energy is essential for personal well-being and fostering a strong connection with yourself. By understanding your worth and setting boundaries, you can create a more fulfilling life.
The author discusses the importance of setting boundaries in relationships to help alleviate stress and maintain peace. They argue that when we don't stand on our principles, we start a war within ourselves, leading to resentment and exhaustion. By creating and communicating boundaries in a healthy manner, they can serve as bridges instead of walls.
People-pleasing tendencies can lead to unrestricted access to our time and energy, causing us to feel depleted. Instead of creating walls, boundaries should allow people to enter under the circumstances of our choosing. For example, if we need clarity in a relationship, we can invite it in by building a bridge so it can reach us. Those who respect our needs and want to support us will cross the bridge and meet us there.
To build these boundaries and bridges, the author suggests understanding your own priorities, principles, and values. This helps in recognizing when your principles and values are threatened, making it easier to know when to say no. Some core values are grounded in and expressed in our relationships with God, ourselves, and family. To maintain this balance, the author starts engaging with the outside world at 12 P.M. sharp, Central Time, and only allows the special people in their life access to them.
The author acknowledges that disconnecting from distractions during the first part of the day is essential for being the best Trent for themselves, their family, and their community. They believe that disconnecting from the world allows them to reconnect with their soul and peace, rather than focusing on the things they want to tell them.
The author shares their journey of finding their true purpose in 2009, which began with a series of lows and disappointments. After being cut from the 2008 NFL season, the author felt broken and uncertain about their future. They surrounded themselves with friends, engaging in unhealthy activities, and spending money on partying. This was considered self-care, but it led to a realization that this was not the path to their best self.
The author's son Tristan, who was one and a half years old at the time, prompted the author to think about their own future and the importance of setting boundaries for themselves. They decided to take a deep look in the mirror and say, "This ain't it." They decided to walk through the discomfort and pain, setting an internal boundary for themselves. This was a difficult but determined decision, as they knew their time, energy, and money were worth more than this and that they were in charge of their own destiny.
In summary, the author's journey of finding their true purpose in 2009 began with a series of lows and disappointments, but ultimately led to the development of self-care strategies and a newfound sense of purpose.
The author shares their journey of setting boundaries and overcoming insecurity and worry. They began by recognizing the value of their own energy and peace, and decided to create internal boundaries to maintain their self-worth. They invited their inner circle, who had always been there for them, to join them in building their best life together. This led to the creation of RehabTime, a platform for sharing and sharing personal stories. The author found that self-care is about making choices that lead to personal growth and peace.
