2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: I've made this commitment. I've decided Jay, that I'm going

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: to go to the gym tomorrow. I've decided that I'm

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: going to work on my book for four hours. I've

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,239
Speaker 1: decided I'm going to start a podcast. And we think

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: when we make that decision, there's going to be no opposition.

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: But every decision you make will have opposition in your head.

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: You wake up early, the voice says, go back to bed.

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the number one

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: health podcast in the world. Thanks to each and every

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: single one of you that come back every week to listen,

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: learn and grow. Now we've been having an incredible number

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: of listens right now and that is thanks to each

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: and every single one of you. It means the world

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: to me. And I wanted to take a moment to

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: read your reviews again. When you leave a review, please

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: leave your name, because I want to say it. I

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: want to shout you out, and then I want you

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: to come up to me one day and be like, Jay,

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: that was my review, and then I'll give you a

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: big hug and it would just be amazing. This is

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: from LG. Jay, you are such a young, refreshing voice

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: of wisdom. Thank you for your positive messages and teachings

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: in such a way that I can pass along to

25
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: my young adult kids. They love you too. Thank you,

26
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: LG LG. I appreciate you and I'm so grateful for you.

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: This is from Rochelle. I try to listen every day.

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: This is the best podcast I've ever come across. Thank you,

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: Jay for all your thoughtfulness and attention to details. You

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: have not only helped myself but also my husband. We

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: typically listen to episodes separately and then discuss them together

32
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: of what we learned. That is such a great idea.

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: By the way, I have your book and I'm reading

34
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: it now. I take it with me through the day,

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: and even looking at the cover makes me stop and

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: be a little more present. The meditations you've done on

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: YouTube have been incredible. Thank you for making those. By

38
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: the way, check out the ones on Calm Calm Doc

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: Forward Slash Jay. Thank you for being you, Rachelle. I

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: really really appreciate these amazing, amazing messages. Thank you so much.

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to find one more. I'm literally scrolling through

42
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: the app right now. This is Felicity this is special.

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: Been listening since twenty nineteen, when I was fresh out

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: of college and didn't know my place in this world.

45
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: You helped see a different perspective of life. I continue

46
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: to listen and grow into a completely different person who's

47
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: always trying to express love and compassion wherever I go.

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jay, keep making this killer podcast, and I

49
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: will continue to thrive Felicity. Thank you so much. Those

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: are just three of the incredible messages and reviews that

51
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: I've seen recently. Please keep leaving them. I do read

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: them myself. I do love sharing them. We're at seventeen thousand,

53
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: three hundred reviews. I would love to go to twenty

54
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: thousand this year. It helps podcasts so much. So I

55
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: want to dive straight into today's topic because this came

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: from a question and I've thought about this again and

57
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: again and again. Someone asked me recently, Jay, what's the

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: most important skill you have or what's the most important

59
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: skill you think the people that you respect have? And

60
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time thinking about it. I

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: was like, is it meditation? Is it knowing how to

62
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: set goals? Is it being resilient? Is it having motivation?

63
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: Like I was trying to figure out what it was,

64
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: and the honest answer that keeps coming up again and

65
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: again and again is that this skill is to get

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: something done even when you don't feel like it. This

67
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: is the number one skill to get something done, to

68
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: do something, to make it happen even when you don't

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: feel like it, because you're not always going to feel

70
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: like it. People think when you do something you love,

71
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: you always want to do it. We think that we

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: should always want to feel like doing things, but our

73
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: feelings are not always aligned with who we want to

74
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: be or how we want to feel. I'll give you

75
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: an example of what I mean by that. Chances are

76
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: that you don't always feel like doing the things that

77
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: are good for you. Chances are you don't feel like

78
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: doing the things you need to do. But we all

79
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: know that when we do them, we feel better about ourselves.

80
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: We know when we do them we create a stronger

81
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: sense of confidence and identity. I never felt like going

82
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: to public speaking classes or drama classes that my parents

83
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: forced me to go to. Today I am so grateful

84
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: to them. I never felt like doing my homework and

85
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: learning in the evenings, But today I'm so grateful to

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: my parents for making me do that. I don't think

87
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: I ever felt like going to work, but by going

88
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: to work, I was able to learn how to share

89
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: meditation in those spaces. I don't think I ever felt

90
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: like moving country, or moving city or moving state, but

91
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: when I did, it expanded my vision. So many of

92
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: the most amazing things, not just in my life, but

93
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: in the lives of the people you admire, the people

94
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: you respect, the people you look up to. They did

95
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: things they didn't feel like. So let's dive into what

96
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: are the ways to get something done even when you

97
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: don't feel like it because you have this idea that

98
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: I should feel motivated. I get that question a lot, Jay,

99
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: how do I feel motivated? It's like, I want to

100
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: feel motivated before I do something. I want to feel

101
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: inspired before I do something. And the thing about motivation

102
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: and inspiration is you can keep filling your life with

103
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: those to try and do something, but you're not always

104
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: going to be motivated. I'll give you an example. Comedians

105
00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: don't always want to tell jokes. Therapists don't always want

106
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: to listen, basketball players don't always want to play. Everyone

107
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: has to do their job even when they don't feel

108
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: like it, and that includes us, but today I want

109
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: to share with you the ways to make it powerful

110
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: and potent in a way that will change your life.

111
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: The first thing I want to talk to you about

112
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: is intrinsic versus extrinsic motivators. So extrinsic motivators are like,

113
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm doing this because it will help me buy that house.

114
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: I'm doing this because it will help me get that car.

115
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing this because it helps me go on vacation

116
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: every year. These are extrinsic motivators. It's tied to an external,

117
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: tangible thing that you want to get, and that's where

118
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: motivation runs out. That's where inspiration runs out. That's where

119
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: we stop wanting to feel like we want to do it,

120
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: because we go, well, maybe I don't need that, maybe

121
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: I don't want that. Now. Studies show that intrinsic motivation

122
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: leads to greater persistence. This study by Adam Grant talks

123
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: about how pro social motivation is essentially being motivated by

124
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: a desire to protect or promote other people's well being

125
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: without seeking to gain any personal benefits. When intrinsic motivation

126
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: is high, does it have any impact on pro social

127
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: motivation and persistence? As a result, Adam Grant's study, again

128
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: another on purpose guest we've had, suggests it does by

129
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: acting to strengthen the relationship between the two. In the research,

130
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: firefighters who reported high levels of both pro social and

131
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: intrinsic motivation then went on to demonstrate greater persistence by

132
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: subsequently working considerably more overtime hours per week over a

133
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: two month period. The desire to help others had resulted

134
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: in increased effort and increased levels of persistence. That's intrinsic motivator.

135
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: So I know that my podcast serves you. It helps you.

136
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: So there are days or weeks when I'm tired, when

137
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I don't have that much time, but I

138
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: know that I'm going to prepare, I'm going to research,

139
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to get my notes ready, and I'm going

140
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: to do this because I know you're waiting on the

141
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: other side. I know that you're expecting this. Now. If

142
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: I was really tired, i'd be honest with you and say, hey, guys,

143
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: i'm tired. I'm not sure, but I just want to

144
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: be here with you, right, I just want to be

145
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: present with you. I would always be honest with you,

146
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: but I like showing up for that reason. There's a

147
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: twenty twelve study from Choen Perry that showed that intrinsic

148
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: motives have three times the impact on employee engagement levels

149
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: compared to extrinsic motives. The research found that intrinsic motivation

150
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: was positively associated with employee satisfaction and unsurprisingly was negatively

151
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: associated with the intention to right. So the idea of

152
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: intrinsic motivation is shown across the board no matter what

153
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: area of life are in now. They also linked intrinsic

154
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: motivation to learning. One of the findings in Grand Valley

155
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: State University identified that these kinds of external motivators can

156
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: actually slow learning down and lead to students making more

157
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: errors during the learning process. What really matters is the

158
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: level of intrinsic motivation and how much the student wants

159
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: to learn. If the students learning because it's fulfilling them

160
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: and it's enjoyable, rather than because they're fixated on getting

161
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: high grades. So I ask you this today, when you

162
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: don't want to do something, is it because the external

163
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: reward is not good enough? And you may be one

164
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: of those people. I have a lot of people in

165
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: my life and say, jo, I'm not ambitious. I don't

166
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: want more money, I don't want a bigger house. I'm

167
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: happy with what I have, Sure, but we still have

168
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: to get joy from what we do. We still have

169
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: to experience it now. But how do we get things

170
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: done when we don't feel like it? We remind ourselves

171
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: of that intrinsic motivator. Why are you doing it? What

172
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: is the reason you're doing it? Why are you here

173
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: right now? Why are you turning up? Make it about

174
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: that intrinsic motivation. The second way to get everything done

175
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: even when you don't feel like it is everything must

176
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: be in your schedule. If you don't have a plan,

177
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: you don't have an approach. It's easy to miss the

178
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: stuff you don't feel like. When I wake up and

179
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: look at my schedule in the morning, it already has

180
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: everything I have to do today. And when I look

181
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: at everything I have to do today, I know that

182
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: I will get it done because it's in my calendar,

183
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: it's properly planned out. But if I didn't have it,

184
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: then I might miss the stuff I don't feel like.

185
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: And that's what we do. We avoid the stuff we

186
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: don't feel like doing. It gets bigger and bigger and bigger,

187
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: it gets harder and harder and harder, and then by

188
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: the time you get to it, you know, you're saying

189
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: to yourself, why did I do this to myself? Right like,

190
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: why did I put myself in this position? Why did

191
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: I start earlier? Schedule? Put it in your calendar, break

192
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: it down. Stop putting things off because you don't feel

193
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: like doing them. Because when you don't feel like doing something,

194
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: it's going to feel a lot harder in the long

195
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: run to actually do it. Make a plan, put it

196
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: in your schedule, commit to it, and prepare everything the

197
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: night before. I know the night before when I'm recording

198
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: my podcast that my recorder and my microphone are already

199
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: here on my desk, so I don't have to think, oh,

200
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: I need to go and get it from somewhere. It's like,

201
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: you know what it's like. It's like when you want

202
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: to watch TV and then the remotes on the other

203
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: side of the room and you're like, oh, it's all

204
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: the way on the other side, right or my charger.

205
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's in the bedroom. I'm not going to

206
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: get it. Make it easy for yourself. Make it simple

207
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: for yourself. I leave a book in every room that

208
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: I spend time in so that in a spare moment,

209
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: instead of jumping on my phone, I'll jump to a book.

210
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: I keep my workout clothes ready the night before so

211
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: that when I wake up in the morning, it's not

212
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: a long process to convince myself to put them on

213
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: and go to the gym. I creep the mic right

214
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: on my desk right now where I am recording this,

215
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: because I want to make it easy for myself, schedule it,

216
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: plan it, and make it really, really practical. This third

217
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: one is probably a huge one. It's a big one. Actually,

218
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: it's a really important one for me, because I spent

219
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot of my monk life doing this. Plan for

220
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: the voice in your head. We don't plan for the

221
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: voice in our head. We go, Okay, I've made this commitment.

222
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: I've decided Jay, then I'm going to go to the

223
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: gym tomorrow. I've decided that I'm going to work on

224
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: my book for four hours. I've decided I'm going to

225
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: start a podcast. And we think when we make that decision,

226
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: there's going to be no opposition. We think, when we've

227
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: made that decision, there will be no resistance. But every

228
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: decision you make will have position in your head. You

229
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: wake up early, the voice says, go back to bed.

230
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: You're trying to eat healthy. The voice says, it's okay,

231
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: a little bit won't hurt. You're trying to start something new,

232
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: a new habit, a new focus. The voice says, just relax,

233
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: calm down. Who cares? And when we hear that voice,

234
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: we either follow it or we resent it. We get

235
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: mad at ourselves. We judge ourselves. We become critical of ourselves.

236
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: Why can't I just do this? What's wrong with me?

237
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: Or we follow it and then we regret it and

238
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: we say, oh, I wish I didn't follow it. I

239
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: knew I shouldn't have. Okay, let me go back. Never

240
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: again will I ever eat unhealthy food? Ever? Again? How

241
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: do we get things done even when we don't feel

242
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: like it. We plan for the voice in our head

243
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: because it's the voice that doesn't feel like it's not us.

244
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: We know it's important. You know it's important to read more,

245
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: to work out more, to eat healthier. You know it's

246
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: important to serve more, to help people. You know it's

247
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: important to overcome your ego. You know it's important to

248
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: not fight over little things. But then, why does the

249
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: voice in our head, mislead us. Here's why, because we

250
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: don't create an alternative script to communicate and conversate with

251
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: that voice. When that voice becomes strong, our voice becomes weak.

252
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: When the volume on that voice turnds loud, the volume

253
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: on our voice goes weak because we don't have a script.

254
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: So one thing I did when I lived as a

255
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: monk is that for every emotion I felt, which is

256
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: something I didn't want to feel, like the idea of pride,

257
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: or ego, or the idea of arrogance, I created a script.

258
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: When the voice in my head would start saying, don't

259
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: wake up for today's meditation. You are okay to have

260
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: a big ego, I would create a script that I

261
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: would not only write out, but that I would practice.

262
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: I would even role play, so that when that voice

263
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: came up in my head, I actually had a script

264
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: to combat it with. So when mind says you don't

265
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: need to go to the gym, so how do I

266
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: get something done when I don't feel like it. I

267
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: don't feel like going to the gym, that's the voice

268
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: in my head. But my script says you always feel

269
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: amazing when you leave. My script says you want to

270
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: be fit and healthy to serve. My script says, if

271
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: you don't work out today, you'll regret it tomorrow. My

272
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: script says you deeply enjoy being a healthy, focused individual.

273
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: My script says you're able to do better mental work

274
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: when you've done a physical workout. Notice how if you

275
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: have all those arguments ready, it's almost like planning for

276
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: a debate. If you deeply understand your weaknesses, you can

277
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: create strength in your debate. And now, when you hear

278
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: that voice, you already know how to talk to yourself,

279
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: so you don't just listen to it. So how do

280
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: you get things done even when you don't feel like it?

281
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: You have a script to talk to that voice that

282
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it, because it's not you that doesn't

283
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: feel like it. It's that voice. And that voice has

284
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: been built on conditioning and patterns and the human laziness

285
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: and complacency to say, of course, I'd rather sit around

286
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: all day. But if I just sit in bed all

287
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: day because I don't feel like getting up, chances are

288
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: I don't feel better later on. That's the interesting thing, right,

289
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: The mind tricks us, The voice tricks us. It says, Oh,

290
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: don't get out of bed, you don't feel great, But

291
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: then if you spend your whole day in bed, you

292
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: don't feel great either. So we have to learn not

293
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: always to trust how we feel in an instance. Right, Yeah,

294
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you to not trust your feelings, but

295
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: you can't trust how you feel in a millisecond of

296
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: a moment and expand that feeling out. Number four is

297
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: pushed through, and measure how you feel after, not before,

298
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: focus on the feelings after. Now, this is a memory thing.

299
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: The mind holds on to negative memories and negative experiences

300
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: stronger than positive ones. This is why it's so important

301
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: to take a mental picture of physical picture and journal

302
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: about positive experiences. So when I come back from the gym,

303
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: I will write out why it was an amazing decision.

304
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: I may tell my friend that I went. I may

305
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: tell Rady to remind me that I loved it, like

306
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: I'll come home and say, Rady tell me that I

307
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: love the gym. Journal. Journal, Journal. When you have a

308
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: positive experience, look how long your journal entries are. And

309
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: when you have a negative experience or a challenge, look

310
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: how long your journal entries are. I promise you your

311
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: journal when you negative experience are longer than when you

312
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: have a positive one. It's fascinating, isn't it that we

313
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: do that to ourselves? So what I encourage you to do?

314
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: Journal about positive experiences, Take pictures, take mental pictures, honor them,

315
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: share them, talk about them. Imagine you missed a flight

316
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: last week, You'll tell everyone about it, but if the

317
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: flight was on time, you wouldn't tell anyone about it.

318
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: If last week you unfortunately got caught in an accident,

319
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: you tell everyone about it, But if you had a

320
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: beautiful drive, you don't tell that many people about it.

321
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: Why is it that we tell people about things when

322
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: they go wrong versus when they go right. Studies from

323
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: very Well Mind show that as humans, we tend to

324
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: remember traumatic experience better than positive ones, recall insults better

325
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: than praise. We think about negative things more frequently than

326
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: positive things. Right now, Reset says that negativity bias starts

327
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: to emerge in infancy. Very young infants tend to pay

328
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: greater attention to positive facial expression and tone of voice,

329
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: but this begins to shift as they near one year

330
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: of age. Brain studies indicate that around this time, babies

331
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: begin to experience greater brain responses to negative stimuli. This

332
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 1: suggests that the brain's negative bias emerges during the latter

333
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: half of a child's first year of life. There is

334
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: some evidence that the bias may actually start even earlier

335
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: in development. One study found that infants as young as

336
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 1: three months old show signs of negativity bias when making

337
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: social evaluations of others. So what we have to do

338
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: is we have to make our positive experiences more powerfully memorable.

339
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: Or we have to create stories through the challenging experiences

340
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: of what we learned from that scenario, or at least

341
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: learn to laugh at So those are two ways of

342
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: overcoming this area. How do you get things done when

343
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: you don't feel like it, Well, you go through because

344
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: you remind yourself of how things felt after you did them,

345
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: because you deepened your understanding of it being beneficial for you.

346
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: But we have to make that memory imprint stronger because

347
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: our negativity bias is so high. I want to share

348
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: with you the biggest news of the year. How many

349
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: of you want to meditate? I can see your heads nodding,

350
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: I can see you raising your hands, I can see

351
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: you saying, yes, jay, I really want to learn to meditate.

352
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: How many of you would like to learn to meditate

353
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: with me every single day. Now, I already know what

354
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: the answer is because I know how many messages DMS

355
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: reviews notes that I get saying Jay, I'd love to

356
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: meditate with you. Last year, we took meditation to Instagram

357
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: and I meditated for around forty days live and twenty

358
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: million of you tuned in. Now I am taking that

359
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: same focus, that same presence to Calm. I've partnered up

360
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: with Calm to release a new series called The Daily Ja,

361
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: where you can meditate with me every single day for

362
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: seven minutes. To make it a real habit. I would

363
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: love for you to come and join me and take

364
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: part in building a really powerful meditation practice. And guess

365
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: what we're going to do it together? Head over right

366
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: now Calm dot com forward slash j to get forty

367
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: percent off a premium membership. That's Calm dot Com Forward

368
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: slash J Now. Step number five is see how it

369
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: fits into the bigger picture. Constantly zoom out right when

370
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: you look at the thing for what it is. When

371
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: you zoom in, you may not feel like it, but

372
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 1: when you zoom out, you realize, oh, I totally get it.

373
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: There are so many times when I get asked to

374
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: do something last minute, or I have to work late,

375
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: or I have to work a weekend. And if you

376
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: ask me, do I want to work a weekend, the

377
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: truth is I don't want to. I don't feel like it.

378
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: But when I zoom out and I think, wait a minute,

379
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: disconnects perfectly with what I'm trying to do next month,

380
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: and actually this is going to be so synergistic. Oh,

381
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: this is amazing. I should definitely do it right. So

382
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: when you zoom out, you get to check in with perspective. Now,

383
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: if you zoom out and there's nothing there either, that's fine.

384
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you to only do things in life

385
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: that you don't feel like. What I'm saying is that

386
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: sometimes your feelings mislead you. Sometimes your feelings distract you

387
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: from what you really want and who you want to be,

388
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: because if you follow your feelings, you may never learn

389
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: any of the lessons that are useful. Now, the next

390
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: step is create accountability. Do it with someone as a

391
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: peer or ahead in your journey. I find this to

392
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: be the biggest easiest one that I think we're missing

393
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: out on. Accountability. Partners are everything. Finding someone to do

394
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: something with, finding a coach, a mentor someone slightly ahead

395
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: on the journey to commit to having a commitment to

396
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: show up. I would cancel going to the gym every

397
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: day if I was doing it on my own, but

398
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: because I'm doing it with my trainer, I have to

399
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: turn up. Because you're doing it with a friend, you

400
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: have to turn up. This is the simplest fix to

401
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: anyone who's saying I don't want to do something. Find

402
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: someone to do it with, then commit to them, and

403
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: ideally someone who's a little ahead on the journey than you.

404
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: Number seven. Give yourself a reward. Mine is always a break.

405
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: I find my favorite reward for working hard is taking

406
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: a break. That break could mean going to a spark.

407
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: It could be going on a walk. It could be

408
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: being outdoors in nature. It could be doing nothing. It

409
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: could be taking myself out for brunch. It could be

410
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: just being with myself. Is my reward to myself for

411
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: doing things even when I don't feel like it. If

412
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: I've had a whole week of doing a lot of

413
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: things even when I don't feel like it, I will

414
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: give myself a full break that weekend, and that reward

415
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: for me is so motivating that by Monday, I'm ready

416
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: to go at it again. What I'm trying to help

417
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: you understand here is that even I have days where

418
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: I do things even when I don't feel like it

419
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: does mean I don't love what I do. It doesn't

420
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: mean that I don't deeply appreciate what I do, and

421
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: I'll get to that. What it means is that you're

422
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: not going to be able to control how you feel

423
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: every day, but you can control what you focus on

424
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: so that you feel better at the end of every day.

425
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: If you follow your feelings at the beginning of your day,

426
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: you may not actually feel better. You will probably feel worse.

427
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: But if you ignore your feelings at the beginning of

428
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: the day, you might actually do the things that bring

429
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: you great joy. Number eight is obviously, if you're trying

430
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: to get something done constantly and you never feel like it,

431
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: sure outsource it, right. If you never feel like doing something,

432
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: Usually in our life what it is is sometimes we

433
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: feel like and sometimes we don't. It's rarely that it's

434
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: completely extremes. But if you don't feel like doing something ever, yes,

435
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 1: we should get rid of that in our life. Right.

436
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: If you never ever feel like doing something, we should

437
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: remove that from our lives. If we can now the

438
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: last two principles, number nine, Remember how it was when

439
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: you couldn't do this or didn't have the opportunity. Remind

440
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: yourself what that was like. Have gratitude. This one is

441
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: huge for me today. There are so many opportunities come

442
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: my way that I would have begged for in the past,

443
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: and it's so easy to get complacent. It's so easy

444
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: to think, oh, I don't want to do this anymore.

445
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: But gratitude, gratitude, gratitude. I promise you some of the

446
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: stuff you don't feel like doing today, that job you

447
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: don't feel like going to, the person you don't feel

448
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: like connecting with, there was a time when that was

449
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: really important to you. And that doesn't mean that you

450
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: have to stay there, but it does mean we have

451
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: to have a sense of gratitude, because if we can't

452
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: be grateful for a dream we used to have, we

453
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: won't be grateful when we reached the next dream. That's

454
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: what we don't realize. If you're not grateful for the

455
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: dream you used to have that you have now, this

456
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: next dream won't satisfy you either. So practice attitude. How

457
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: do you get something done even when you don't feel

458
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: like it. You feel grateful for the opportunity, You feel

459
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: grateful that you even get to do that, You feel

460
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: grateful that that has even come across your way. Gratitude

461
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: is huge in this area and number ten one of

462
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: my personal favorites. Create an announcement, an external announcement. You're

463
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: going to do something. I'm going to write a book

464
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: and launch you by this date. I'm going to record

465
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: and upload one episode of my podcast every day, announce

466
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: it on social media, tell people they're expecting it now.

467
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: I'm going to post once a day, every day, and

468
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: every day in the post, I'm going to put day

469
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: one of one hundred, day two of one hundred, day

470
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: three of one hundred. Taking an announcement, making a moment

471
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: out of it creates a commitment, and that commitment drives

472
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: you because you have promised people something. Create a promise

473
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: to your community, your audience, your friends, and show up

474
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: for them. I want to thank you all for listening

475
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: to this episode. I'm so grateful that you made time

476
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: for this. And remember that having bad thoughts is not bad,

477
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: having bad feelings is not bad. Nothing is bad. But

478
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: what's better and what's healthy is that you find a

479
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: way to get things done even when you don't feel

480
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: like it, because when they're done, you'll feel better for it.

481
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. I'll see you next week. I'm
