00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.439
Miracle morning. I created that when I was not a
2
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:04.200
morning person, but I needed. You know, it was the
3
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:06.440
two thousand and eight recession and I had lost over
4
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:08.279
half of my clients, half of my income, and I
5
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:10.119
was my house is foreclosed on. I was at a
6
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:11.919
really low point in my life, and so I went, Okay,
7
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.839
I've got to change something. I've got to do something different.
8
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:17.320
And what I determined was, I've got to dedicate time
9
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:21.079
every day to personal development, but not haphazardly. I've got
10
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.440
to be extraordinarily intentional. And in fact, it was this
11
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.079
Jim Rone quote, your level of success will seldom exceed
12
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:28.519
your level of personal development.
13
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.079
Welcome to the Radical Responsibility Podcast. I'm doctor Fleet Maul,
14
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.719

15
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.399
authentic transformation. In each episode, I'll bring you insights from

helping you find alignment with the person you are always
20

meant to be. Let's get started. What if transformation isn't
21
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.840
just about thinking differently, but feeling differently. Science shows us
22
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.040
that true change happens when we align not just our minds,
23
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.640
but also the neural networks in our hearts and guts.
24
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.079
This heart mind connection is the key to deeper healing, resilience,
25
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.719
and expanded awareness. That's why I created the Heart Mind
26
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.400

27
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.519

41
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.919
your entire life. In this episode, I sit down with
42
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.919
best selling author and inspirational force hell Elrod, creator of
43
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.080
the Miracle Mourning. How's not just a thought leader, He's
44
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.719
a living example of resilience, having survived the near fatal
45
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.120
car crash, beat cancer, and come out the other side
46
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.479
with a mission to elevate humanity. We explore how his
47
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:53.919
savors practice silence, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading, and scribing became
48
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.520
a global movement. But this conversation goes deeper. How opens
49
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.000
us up to what it means to serve others by
50
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.560
healing our own wounds, How to cultivate emotional resilience, and
51
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:08.560
why balancing family, business and a greater mission isn't just possible,
52
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.919
it's necessary. Whether you're an early riser or still hitting
53
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.759
the snooze button, this episode offers something vital, a clear
54
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:18.800
path to waking up with purpose.
55
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.719
Let's dive in. My name is doctor Fleet Maull, your
56
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.719
co host for the session, and I'm thrilled to be
57
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.960
here today with hel Elrod. Welcome hell Fleet.
58
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:28.000
It is so good to see you.
59
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.400
As always, Yeah, it's great to see you, and we've
60
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.240
gotten to do this before, and I always enjoy our conversations.
61
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.520
And I'm a big believer. I've been doing a morning
62
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.120
routine for a long time and your SAVERS program is
63
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.599
influenced and changed my morning routine a bit. I've added
64
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.680
some elements to it, but I'm a real faithful, dedicated
65
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.919
practitioner of the SAVERS. So thank you very much, and
66
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.000
we're going to explore that in our interviewed today. I
67
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.159
would like to start off a little bit because your
68
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.199
work really has come out of the adversities that you've overcome,
69
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.759
and so I'm just wondering if you could talk about
70
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.680
a little bit of how these experiences of overcoming a
71
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.360
car crash where the doctor said you're likely to never
72
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.919
walk again, and you ended up running some marathons I believe,
73
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.479
and then a very serious cancer, and also having your
74
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.480
business fall apart during an economic recession. How did overcoming
75
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.079
these adversities create who you are today and what you
76
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:21.839
bring to the world.
77
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:23.920
Yeah, you know, I learned this from my mom and
78
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.279
my dad. When I was eight years old, I woke
79
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.920
up to my mother screaming across the hallway and not
80
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.079
mourning my baby sister died in her arms, with just
81
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.959
me and my mom and my sister at home, and
82
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.879
it was devastating for our family, especially my mom and dad.
83
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.199
And within under a year, my mother was leading a
84
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.000
support group of other parents who had lost young children,
85
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.759
and my father was leading a fundraiser for the hospital
86
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.160
that attempted to save my sister's life and was caring
87
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.560
for other kids. And I learned from my mom and
88
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.399
dad that you take your adversity and you turn to
89
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:02.000
it into an opportunity to yourself personally and then to
90
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.360
help other people. And so for me, when I came
91
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.360
out of the coma six days in a coma, I
92
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.600
found out I had eleven broken bones, I had permanent
93
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.720
brain damage. They said I would ever walk again. I
94
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.000
told my dad, Dad, if I'm in a wheelchair the
95
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.279
rest of my life, I've decided I'll be the happiest,
96
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.920
most grateful person you've ever seen in a wheelchair, because
97
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.480
I'm in a wheelchair either way. But more importantly, Dad,
98
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:22.639
I said, I've wanted to be a motivational speaker for
99
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.360
the last year and a half, since I was in
100
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.439
sales and speaking at conferences. I said, but my life's
101
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.800
been relatively easy. You know, I was bullied growing up.
102
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.959
Normal stuff, but pretty easy. I didn't have much to
103
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:34.920
talk about. I said, maybe that's why I was hit
104
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.759
head on by the drunk driver. And that's why I'm
105
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.120
in this situation I'm in now because it's my responsibility
106
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:46.120
to overcome my adversity so that I can help other
107
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.240
people overcome theirs. And when I was diagnosed with cancer
108
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:51.839
and given a twenty percent chance of surviving, it was
109
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.800
the same thing. It was like, oh wow, okay, another one.
110
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:56.199
I don't know what I was supposed to learn from this,
111
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.800
but something. And so I think that's the biggest thing
112
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.319
for entrepreneurs, most entrepreneurs, right, you're best suited to serve
113
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.920
who you once were. So whatever you've overcome in your life,
114
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.720
and the bigger the adversity, I think it's the bigger
115
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.160
the opportunity, the bigger opportunity to grow, to evolve and
116
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:14.199
for a better version of us on the other side.
117
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.199
And then we get to turn back and reach out
118
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.959
our hand and help the people that have come before us.
119
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.839
And whether that's you've achieved economic success, you've overcome mental
120
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.040
health challenges, or for me, it's overcoming these physical challenges
121
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.680
and then being to help other people help them overcome
122
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.199
their obstacles so they can achieve what it is that
123
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.360
they want in their lives.
124
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.639
Well, you share a real nugget with us, say, I
125
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.759
want to memorialize that you're best suited to serve those
126
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.399
who you once were, the previous you, Right, That's who
127
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.160
we're best to serve and support on their journey. That's
128
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.439
really great. As entrepreneurs, we're all going to face a
129
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.519
lot of challenges and you know, we may crash and
130
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.040
burn a few times before we succeed. So what feel
131
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.279
is the most critical mindset shift? I mean, you kind
132
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.600
of shared it in terms of how your parents influenced
133
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.040
you and then how you but it almost sounds when
134
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.480
I hear you say this, it almost sounds this is
135
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:03.120
too good to be true. I mean, because this guy
136
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.439
really have had that positive of an attitude as he's
137
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.360
laying there in that hospital bed and they're telling me
138
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.040
he's never going to walk again, and then facing cancer,
139
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.240
and then you know, facing your business falling apart. You
140
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.879
know what's the secret sauce underneath being able to Because
141
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.120
I'm sure you've had down moments. I'm sure, you've had
142
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.600
moments of despair, moments of wanting to give up. So
143
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:26.040
what's the secret, sauce to to develop that mindset so
144
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.079
that we don't give up and we keep finding our
145
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.160
way back into the saddle and moving forward.
146
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.319
I think that yeah, And I want to comment on
147
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.360
what you said, which is how was I so positive
148
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.120
at nineteen years old being told I'm never going to
149
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:37.560
walk again? And it was a year and a half
150
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.439
prior I had started a career in sales. I was
151
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.000
hired by CUTC Cutlery, and on my second day of
152
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.160
my Cutco sales training, I learned something called the five
153
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.439
minute rule, which says it's okay to be negative when
154
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.399
something goes wrong, but don't dwell on it for more
155
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.680
than five minutes. In the times arbitrary you might need.
156
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.959
I think after my car accident, I needed five days.
157
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.279
To be honest, it wasn't five minutes. But the point
158
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.399
is this, I was taught to set a timer for
159
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.279
five minutes. When the timer goes off, you say, can't
160
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.920
change it, and acknowledge I can't change what happened in
161
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.839
the past, whether it was five minutes or five months,
162
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.319
or five years or five decades. The only logical choice
163
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.120
we have when we face adversity is to process it,
164
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:15.120
feel our emotions, but then say can't change it. Acknowledge
165
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.560
I can't change the past. So the only logical choice
166
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.759
I have is to be at peace with what I
167
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:22.240
can't change, be at peace with the past, and focus
168
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.600
my energy on what I can change. That was the
169
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.920
application that I you know, I applied that to the
170
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.399
car accident, to the cancer, and I learned it when
171
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.039
I was in sales. If I had to identify, though,
172
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.000
the number one mindset shift for an entrepreneur to be successful,
173
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:40.279
it's if another human being has ever overcome or accomplished
174
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:44.519
something that is evidence of what is possible for every
175
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.960
single one of us. And I trace that back to Cutco.
176
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.519
My second day of Cutco training, we learned about the
177
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.120
fast Start contest. It was the most anyone had ever
178
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.440
sold in the first ten days in a fifty year company.
179
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.120
Right so for in fifty years, the most anyone had
180
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.759
sold in their first ten days. And I was mediocre
181
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:04.559
my whole life up until that point. You know, I
182
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.879
was a C and D student. I was always getting
183
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.399
in trouble in school. I never accomplished. I wasn't a
184
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.679
star athlete, none of that, and something inside me, this
185
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:15.000
belief that I just shared, developed. I want wait a minute,
186
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.480
if another human being has ever sold x amount of
187
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.919
cutco in their first ten days, that means that it's
188
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.000
possible for me. That's evidence in what's possible for me.
189
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:26.879
And I think that one of the biggest problems with
190
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.879
human beings in general, but especially entrepreneurs, is we create
191
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.440
separation between who we are and where we are on
192
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.759
our journey and other people that we deem to be
193
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:42.120
more qualified, more successful further along. I know I'm guilty
194
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:43.919
of this. I look at people in my industry and
195
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.559
whether it's authors or speakers or entrepreneurs, and I go, man,
196
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.200
they're so much more you know, charismatic, or there's so
197
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.679
much more detail oriented, there so much further along, or
198
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.840
they're such a bigger network and they've sold so many
199
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.559
more books than me. Whatever it is, we create a separation,
200
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:00.399
and what we need to do is we need to
201
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:02.799
create a connection. We need to create we need to
202
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.840
look for the similarity of Oh, they're a human being
203
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:10.120
that started at square one, right, and everybody started as
204
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:12.840
a baby learning to walk and then evolved and so
205
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.960
I think that's the biggest thing in entrepreneurship. If you're
206
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.639
facing a challenge, somebody else has overcome that challenge, and
207
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.320
that means you can too, if you aspire to achieve
208
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.720
something that you at this point seems so far out there.
209
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.639
For me, it was to change one million lives one
210
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:32.440
morning at a time. It was to sell a million
211
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.240
copies of The Miracle Morning. As a self published author,
212
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.919
I had no idea where to begin. But I look,
213
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.440
I studied there are other people that have done what
214
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.000
I'm trying to do. That means it's possible for me.
215
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.240
So that's where you start with the belief that it's possible,
216
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.120
and then you go learn from them and figure out
217
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.480
what they did. Like this event that you're putting on
218
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.720
now is doing for people, right, learning from others, and
219
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.240
that was it. You model what they do, and then
220
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.039
you can get the same results that they got, if
221
00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:58.519
not greater.
222
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.159
Well, that's an incredibly powerful distinction once again, because you know,
223
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.720
I study everything everyone I can, and I'm guilty of
224
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.639
that too. Sometimes they're like, oh, they're so far along,
225
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.960
they've done so much, they're so accomplished, you know, and
226
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.519
you can start to feel small or something right, or
227
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.440
get humidated. But that shift you're talking about, they're a
228
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.200
human being. It's funny, you know when you sometimes we
229
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.559
idolize all kinds of people and then sometimes we have
230
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.720
the opportunity to meet them in person, and they may
231
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.240
be incredible in prison, but there's still just a human being, right,
232
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.759
you know, they're ordinary human beings and if they can
233
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.360
do it, we can do it too. So that's really
234
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.480
a critical mindset shift. And you know what I hear
235
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.879
you saying around both those things in terms of overcoming
236
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.120
adversities as you've done, and then that mindset shift. You know,
237
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.519
it's a relationship between logic and emotion. So those distinctions
238
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.240
you made are very logical if you think about they
239
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.720
make a lot of sense. They're very logical. And yet
240
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.240
entrepreneurs often very emotional and driven by emotion, and there's
241
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.960
a we can use emotions positively. I mean, emotions can
242
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.000
really debilitate us, but they can be used as positive energy.
243
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.240
So I wonder how that's worked for you in terms
244
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:00.600
of that balance between logic and emotions or are you
245
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.320
just naturally kind of doctor Spock?
246
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.720
You know, I mean, in two words, it's emotional intelligence right.
247
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.120
I mean that's emotional intelligence is the ability to identify
248
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.200
and self regulate your emotional state. I think it's the
249
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:15.919
ultimate superpower because think about that. If you can identify
250
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.960
what causes your emotions and then you can regulate your
251
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.440
emotional state to the point where you literally go, what
252
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.000
do I need to feel today to be at my best?
253
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:25.639
And I know we're gonna talk about the Miracle Morning today,
254
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:28.000
but I'll get ahead of us a little bit. One
255
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.080
of the practices that I do in my Miracle morning
256
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.039
and all we've been saying the Miracle Morning in general,
257
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.080
I view it as this is a daily practice that
258
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.879
enables me to choose, consciously, choose what is the optimal
259
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:41.480
state that I need to be in today to be
260
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.559
at my best to achieve everything I want in my life.
261
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:47.120
And then I use a practice I call emotional optimization meditation,
262
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.200
where not just following my breath and clearing my mind,
263
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.759
but I actually ask that question and then I identify,
264
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.000
you know what today I really I've got this big
265
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.240
presentation or I've got this media fleet. I need to
266
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.000
be really connected to my purpose. I need to be
267
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:05.600
really present and open and enthusiastic and confident so I identify
268
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.960
the emotional state or states that I want to be in,
269
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:11.440
and then I write them down and I close my
270
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.080
eyes and I get myself into that state. Now to
271
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:17.440
do that, I might ask myself, when was the last
272
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.480
time that I showed up for something like this in
273
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.840
the way that I need to today, And I'll remember,
274
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:25.960
I'll go, that's right, and I'll recall that state and
275
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.919
I'll go back to that state, and once i feel
276
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.879
like I've got a hold of it, I'll set my
277
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.080
timer and I'll meditate or I almost like the word
278
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:39.360
marinate in that state and what happens. And literally, when
279
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.159
you do this, you're hardwiring your nervous system. You're reprogramming
280
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:49.320
your subconscious mind. You are acclimating, activating, and then you're programming,
281
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.240
if you will, that state so that you can access
282
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:58.159
it at will. And so for me emotions, I believe
283
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.279
that we don't have to be at the murder see
284
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:04.799
of our circumstances or outside forces human beings. Most of
285
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:09.440
us assume that our emotions are dictated by external forces.
286
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.360
If you meet someone and they're upset, you go, why
287
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:14.799
are you upset? They rarely take responsibility for the emotional
288
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:16.720
state that they're in, and they always have someone or
289
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.720
something to blame. Of course I'm upset, didn't you hear
290
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:21.960
what he said to me? Or of course I'm sad.
291
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.559
Don't you know what I lost? And for me, there's
292
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.360
value in all emotions. That five minute rule that I
293
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.799
talked about earlier, that was the idea of that. Hey,
294
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:32.320
you set your timer for five minutes when something goes wrong,
295
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:38.279
and you allow yourselves to fully feel, authentically feel whatever
296
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:44.080
emotion comes up for you, cry, vent, scream, whatever it is.
297
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:47.840
But understand that once you express the emotion and you
298
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:52.000
feel it, you then get to choose whether you continue
299
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.279
to dwell in that state. And if it's not productive,
300
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.120
why would you do that. It's only a lack of awareness.
301
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:03.159
It's unconn concious emotional experience. Where you would dwell in
302
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.159
a state that doesn't serve you. That's detrimental to you.
303
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.519
And that's why the five minute rules, where you set
304
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:11.200
the timer, it goes off after five minutes, and it
305
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:13.720
reminds you, okay, wait, you've been dwelling on this for
306
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:17.080
five minutes. You've been allowing yourself to fully express and
307
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:21.240
experience those emotions, and then you consciously go now you're conscious,
308
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:24.399
and you go, okay, do these emotions serve me? Do
309
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:27.240
I maybe need another five minutes, or maybe I need
310
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.480
the day, Maybe I need to take a day to
311
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:33.039
just feel That's fine, But the point is that you
312
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.159
are living a conscious life and you're going okay. At
313
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.879
some point, whether it's five minutes or five whatever, you
314
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.000
set the time and you go, I'm done. I can't
315
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.080
change what happened. Now, what emotion would best serve me?
316
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.720
Where do I want to go from here? And what
317
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:51.840
mental and emotional state is most congruent and aligned with
318
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.480
where I want to go? Great? How do I get
319
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.440
in that state? And on day one that might feel foreign,
320
00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.840
you're like, well this is weird. Normally I get upset,
321
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.240
I stay upset. But with practice of this five minute role,
322
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.559
you eventually take control of your emotional state. And when
323
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:09.399
I was diagnosed with cancer, the day that I was diagnosed,
324
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:11.159
I didn't even have the timer for five minutes that
325
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.720
I've done this for so long. I went, I can't
326
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:16.919
change it. I have cancer. I've been given a twenty
327
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.960
to thirty percent chance of surviving. What is the best
328
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.080
course of action? And what state should I be in?
329
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.519
And I told my wife the day I was diagnosed. Sweetheart,
330
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:26.399
I know this is hard for you, and I am
331
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.320
so sorry that our family has to go through this,
332
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.639
but I want you to know I've decided I will
333
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:35.919
be the happiest and the most grateful I have ever
334
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:39.840
been while I endure the most difficult time in my life.
335
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.600
And I want to invite everyone to consider again, these
336
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.360
aren't mutually exclusive, and it isn't just bad things happen
337
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:47.480
to me so I have to feel bad. It's no
338
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.519
matter what happens to me. I have the power to
339
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:55.240
consciously choose how I feel, what I think, and how
340
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:58.639
I show up to any experience that I'm facing in
341
00:16:58.639 --> 00:16:59.000
my life.
342
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.360
This is so so incredibly liberating and empowering, and it
343
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.599
just really touches me to hear you share this in
344
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:07.519
the power with what you share, because it is so
345
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.799
absolutely liberating. And you know, when you're preparing yourself in
346
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.880
your morning routine and you know you have this or
347
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.160
that activity and interview what to do later that day
348
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.799
of presentation, and you know you want access to that state,
349
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:20.880
so you're cultivating or as you said, marinating in it
350
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.759
so to give yourself ready access to it. That is
351
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.039
an emotional state, but it's a constantly chose an emotional
352
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.400
state that will support what it is you want to accomplish.
353
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:32.759
Yeah, and now I want to say this to give
354
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:36.319
a little bit of context or broader context. Let's say
355
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.759
my wife and I got in an argument the night before.
356
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:40.920
So this is not business at all. Right, we had
357
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:42.720
an argument night before. Now you're supposed to make up
358
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.640
before bed. Sometimes it doesn't go that way, right, And
359
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:47.599
then when I wake up for a miracle morning, and
360
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:50.519
I'm remember, oh, man, she frustrated me. And I know
361
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:54.000
she's frustrated. I know that that emotional state of being
362
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.000
in a state of anger or frustration or resentment that
363
00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:59.640
does not serve our marriage, That does not serve what
364
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.240
I'm ultimately after, which is a harmonious marriage for myself,
365
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:05.880
for my wife, for our kids. And so I will
366
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.119
use that meditation as well as the other savers practices
367
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.119
that I know we'll go into later. But I'll get
368
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:16.799
in a state of forgiveness, love, empathy. I'll remember what
369
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:19.039
do I'll even journal what I love about my wife,
370
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.640
what I appreciate about her. I'll think about the last
371
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.680
time that I felt connected and in love with her
372
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.160
and I'll get into the state, and then I'll visualize
373
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.000
her coming out of the bedroom and me greeting her
374
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.440
with eyes of love and forgiveness and empathy. So this
375
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.480
is just an example how you can use this meditation,
376
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:40.400
this intentional choosing of your optimal emotional state in any
377
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:44.359
from personal to professional circumstances every day of your life.
378
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:46.799
I've often and a lot of programs I've taught of yours,
379
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:48.960
I've talked about the idea of a life by design
380
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:51.640
and different similar ideas of this. And you know, sometimes
381
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:54.799
people are resisting, Oh that that feels too structured too.
382
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:57.480
I just gotta love my life be what it is. Okay, Well,
383
00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:59.960
good luck with that, because we're talking ourselves at the
384
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.519
mercy of all the circumstances, right, and now everyone else
385
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.119
deals with those circumstances. So let's talk about it. So
386
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.319
we're going to talk about the Savers Miracle morning regimen
387
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:11.519
in a moment, but let's talk about this morning thing
388
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:12.920
to begin with. I mean, a lot of us have
389
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.880
heard as entrepreneurs that most billionaires get up at five am,
390
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:18.480
and you know, that whole idea, and you know, someone's
391
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:20.319
may go, I don't know hidy, I'm really more of
392
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.680
a six am, six thirty am kind of guy, because
393
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:24.480
to get up at five am, I'd have to go
394
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.160
to bed so early it would cut off time I
395
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:28.079
have with my wife in the evening. But I know
396
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:29.839
you make the point that it doesn't have to be
397
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.400
a particular time of the morning. The thing is that
398
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.480
you create a routine you do in the morning. So
399
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:36.759
I wonder if you could just talk about, let's disabuse
400
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.240
anybody's resistance around the morning thing to begin with.
401
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:42.240
Yeah, so Miracle Morning. I created that when I was
402
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:44.160
not a morning person, but I needed. You know, it
403
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:46.359
was the two thousand and eight recession, and I had
404
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.440
lost over half of my clients, half of my income,
405
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:50.559
and I was my house is foreclosed on. I was
406
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:51.920
at a really low point in my life, and so
407
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.759
I went, Okay, I've got to change something. I've got
408
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.720
to do something different. And what I determined was, I've
409
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.480
got to dedicate time every day to personal developpment, but
410
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:06.039
not haphazardly. I've got to be extraordinarily intentional. And in fact,
411
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.200
it was this Jim Rone quote, your level of success
412
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.240
will seldom exceed your level of personal development. And in
413
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.400
my head, I quantified that, well, I want level ten
414
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:15.400
success in every area of my life. I want to
415
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.440
be as happy as I possibly can, and as healthy,
416
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.240
and as financially abundant and secure and you name it.
417
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:24.319
I want level ten success and fulfillment. If Jim Ron
418
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:27.039
is saying my level of success will seldom exceed my
419
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:29.880
level of personal development, then in my mind I thought,
420
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:32.880
I've got to create a level ten personal development routine
421
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:35.759
that enables me to become the level ten version of
422
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:38.839
myself in terms of my knowledge and my beliefs and
423
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.119
my mindset and my habits and my capabilities, so that
424
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.079
I become the person that I need to be, who's
425
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.079
capable of creating the success I want in my life. Okay,
426
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:50.839
So then I studied what are the world's most successful
427
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.319
people do for personal development? And I was looking for
428
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:56.920
one practice and I ended up with a list of
429
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:02.279
the six most timeless, proven personal development practices, and I thought, well,
430
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:04.640
I can't do all of these. And then right when
431
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.200
I said that, I went what if I did all
432
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.200
of these? What if instead of choosing one, what if
433
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.880
I did all six of these timeless practices? And then
434
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:15.640
the question of well, I'm busy like, I don't. I
435
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:17.720
wake up and I work until I go to bed
436
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:19.880
right way, At that time, I didn't have kids or anything,
437
00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:21.960
And I go, when am I going to fit this in?
438
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.359
And so I'm looking at my schedule. I'm looking through
439
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.880
my calendar. I'm going, Okay, well, in the evening, I'm exhausted.
440
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.160
I was thinking maybe after work. I go, my brain
441
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:31.119
is fried. There's no way I'm going to be in
442
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.319
a great state to do my personal development. So then
443
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.319
I'm looking maybe like middle of the day, and I'm going,
444
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:38.200
there's no time. And then I'm looking at the morning.
445
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:39.839
And again, if you're listening to this and you're not
446
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:42.200
a morning person, I'm like, I already I think I
447
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:43.880
woke up at the time. Yeah, I already woke up
448
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:46.880
at six am to get ready for work. So I go,
449
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:48.559
what am I gonna do? We give at five am?
450
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:50.960
And at that time, I hadn't discovered Robin Sharma and
451
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.559
the five Am Club and all that. I don't if
452
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:55.519
that existed yet. But I went, this was two thousand
453
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.359
and eight, by the way, I go, what if I
454
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:01.359
woke up at five am and I dedicated the first
455
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:04.119
hour of the day to six Most timeless, proven personal
456
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:06.519
built in practices in the history of humanity. I would
457
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:09.440
become a level ten version of myself very quickly and
458
00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:11.559
now pretty much listening. By the way, I want to
459
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:13.319
be clear, you do not have to wake up at
460
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:15.359
five am to do the miracle morning. You don't have
461
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:16.559
to do it for an hour. You can do it
462
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.440
as little as six minutes. So it's very flexible, right.
463
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:21.359
But for me, I'm like, I'm all in. I'm gonna
464
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.839
wake up an hour earlier. I'm gonna do all six practices.
465
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:27.200
After my very first miracle morning, it was a complete
466
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:31.519
shift in my consciousness, in my paradigm. I went, if
467
00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:33.720
I start every day like this, because for six months
468
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:38.279
I had been this downward spiral into financial ruin and depression,
469
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:41.880
and my very first miracle morning, I went, wait a minute,
470
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:44.759
If I start every day with this much clarity and
471
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.200
energy and motivation, and I'm gaining the knowledge and I'm
472
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:50.960
articulating my priorities, I mean, all of the things I'm
473
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:53.400
doing in this miracle morning, I thought, it's only a
474
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:55.279
matter of time before I become the person I needed
475
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:57.720
be to change my life. And it happened in less
476
00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.240
than two months. In less than two months at the
477
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:01.039
heighth of the Great recept and I more than doubled
478
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.680
my income and everything turned around. And it turned around
479
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:05.519
so fast. I told my wife it felt like a miracle,
480
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:08.400
and she named the mirror. She goes, it's your miracle morning.
481
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:09.880
And I didn't know it would be a book idea
482
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:13.480
any of that. But well, I share this part because
483
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:17.079
I was not a morning person but my very first
484
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:19.480
But and here's why, most of us, if you think
485
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.720
about it, when we were growing up and our brains
486
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.319
were forming as children, very few of us got out
487
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:28.920
of bed on our own accord. We got out of
488
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:32.359
bed when our parents forced us to get out of
489
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:36.359
bed and go to school. And so it's only natural
490
00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:39.799
that as our brain was developing and forming as children
491
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:43.720
through our teenage years, we developed a resistance and this
492
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:46.440
limiting belief that says, I'm not a morning person. Why
493
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:48.640
you a morning person? Why hey waking up in the morning.
494
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:50.640
My parents made me wake up, and I sleep in
495
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:53.519
every chance I get, if it's the weekend, I get
496
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.920
to sleep in. So as children, we developed this limiting
497
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.200
belief that says I'm not a morning person, and then
498
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:01.799
it carries in our childhood and for many people the
499
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:04.920
rest of their lives. But you have to step back
500
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:06.400
and go, wait a minute, why am I not a
501
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:09.279
morning person? When you understand, oh, it's because I was
502
00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:12.000
forced to wake up against my will for the first
503
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:14.440
eighteen years of my life. No wonder, I'm not a
504
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.160
morning person? Can I become a morning person? And then
505
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.400
you go you asked the question I asked earlier, when
506
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.720
you asked me what's the number one mindset shift for
507
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.839
an entrepreneur to be successful? If another human being has
508
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:28.519
done something, there's evidence you can do it too. There
509
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:32.240
are now millions of people around the world that do
510
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:36.480
the Miracle Morning. We survey them regularly fleet seventy two
511
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:39.599
percent of them said they had never in their entire
512
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:43.880
life believed they could become a morning person. So if
513
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:47.079
those seventy two percent of the million plus people have
514
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:49.480
never thought they could become a morning person and they did,
515
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:51.759
you can too. And I'll just say this without I'm
516
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:53.960
not trying to sell the book, but that was a
517
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:57.079
big when I wrote The Miracle Morning. That was my fear.
518
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:01.400
How am I going to hold someone's hand from I'm
519
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:03.519
not a morning person and I've never been one and
520
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.160
I've tried and it doesn't work for me too. I'm
521
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:09.000
waking up doing the Miracle Morning every day and it's
522
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:12.720
a lifelong habit. So the entire book holds someone's hand
523
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:17.279
psychologically speaking through that journey from not a morning person,
524
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:20.039
don't even want to be one, to the miracle morning
525
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:21.640
is changing my life and this is going to be
526
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:22.480
a lifelong habit.
527
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:24.680
I absolutely grew up that way. I didn't want to
528
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:26.319
go to bed at night, I didn't want to get.
529
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:28.440
Up in the morning. Now that's old. Yeah, me too.
530
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.079
I ended up struggling with becoming a morning person, but
531
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:33.519
I am today. And that's pretty good evidence. You got
532
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:36.039
seven hundred and twenty thousand out of a million who
533
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:39.279
were not mourning people and now they're doing the Miracle morning.
534
00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:41.319
So that's pretty good evidence. I mean, the idea if
535
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:43.000
only one person could do it means we could all
536
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:44.799
do it. But if you got seven hundred and twenty thousand,
537
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.160
that's pretty darn good evidence. Well, let's go to each
538
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:49.839
of the savers a little bit. We'll have to limit
539
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:52.039
the amount of detail because but listen, sure I thought
540
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:53.240
all six of them.
541
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:58.079
So originally these six practices, it was meditation, affirmation. Well,
542
00:25:58.119 --> 00:25:59.759
it doesn't matter what they work. But when I was
543
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:01.880
right the book, I was frustrated because I didn't have
544
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.200
a way to organize them into a cohesive way to
545
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:06.599
remember them. And my wife said, why don't you get
546
00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:09.119
at the stories and see if you can swap any
547
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:12.240
of the words with synonyms and then form it into
548
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:14.839
an acronym. And I kind of scratched my head and
549
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:19.119
I go, that might be brilliant, right, And meditation became
550
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:25.519
silence the first s in savers, and journaling became scribing,
551
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.039
which is the final s in savers, and the rest
552
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:31.440
remained the same. So the first s is silence. That's
553
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:34.519
your meditation or your prayer. It's about quieting your mind,
554
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:38.920
palming your nervous system, creating mental space for mental clarity.
555
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:42.160
And they're over fourteen hundred scientific studies now that prove
556
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:47.079
the psychological so the mental, emotional benefits and even physical
557
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:51.160
benefits lowering your cortisol levels of meditation, it could also
558
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:54.079
be prayer. It could also be breath work. It's about
559
00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:57.279
starting your day though, calming the nervous system, and creating
560
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:01.279
an optimal mental and emotional state of peace and space
561
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:03.480
to move through the rest of your day. The A
562
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.960
and Savors is for affirmations, and this one's really important.
563
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:09.880
I think it's the anchor of your miracle morning because
564
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:12.400
you get to articulate in writing. These aren't the goofy
565
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:16.039
old affirmations that where you just tell yourself something that's
566
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:19.920
not true, like I'm wealthy even if you're not, you know,
567
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:23.880
or I'm a money magnet. Money flows to me effortlessly like.
568
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.359
These are kind of goofy affirmations that I think if
569
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.759
affirmations a bad rap. The way that I teach, affirmations
570
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:35.599
are practical, actionable, rooted in truth, and results oriented. So
571
00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:38.440
here's a quick three part formula. Step one, affirm what
572
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:41.599
you're committed to. So every area of your life. In
573
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:43.960
your health, I am committed to blank, no matter what,
574
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:46.680
there's no other option. In terms of your finances, I
575
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:49.160
am committed to blank, no matter what. There's no other option.
576
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.359
Now the blank could be an outcome, like I'm committed
577
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:54.799
to earning one hundred thousand dollars this year, no matter what.
578
00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:57.359
There's another option. It could be a habit. I'm committed
579
00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:59.759
to making twenty prospecting calls a day, no matter what.
580
00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:02.079
The there's another option that is Step one, affirm what
581
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:04.720
you're committed to. Step two, affirm why it's a must
582
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:08.000
for you. Write down the reasons underneath the commitment as
583
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:10.920
to why are you willing to do whatever it takes.
584
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:13.960
And when you read these every single day, you are
585
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:19.160
programming your subconscious mind to be committed and reminding yourself
586
00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:22.640
why you're willing to take the actions do the things
587
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:24.599
you need to do whether you feel like it or not.
588
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:28.000
And the number three third step is a firm which
589
00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:30.480
actions you will take and win. This is where the
590
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.480
rubber meets the road. Once you're clarified your commitment and
591
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.599
why it's a must for you, get clear on, Okay,
592
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:38.599
what are you going to do and when are you
593
00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:40.960
going to do it? If you're committed to losing twenty
594
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:43.319
pounds this year and this is a must because you
595
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:46.720
want to get healthy and have more energy, well what
596
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:48.720
are you going to do? So the third step is
597
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:51.799
a firm which actions will take and win. So I
598
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:56.319
will go for a run Monday through Friday at seven am,
599
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.920
right like you get clear? And now this affirmation's formula
600
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.319
is the anchor. It's the foundation of everything you want
601
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:06.039
for your life. Because if you follow those three steps
602
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:09.319
in each category of your life as a parent, as
603
00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:12.720
an entrepreneur, in your health, et cetera, now it's just
604
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:16.279
a matter of reading those every day and living with integrity,
605
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:19.839
living in alignment with what you're affirming every single day.
606
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:22.680
So I believe you have templates for these affirmations, for
607
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.240
this structure on your website or that to company your book. Right.
608
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:28.839
Yeah, So in the new edition, the Miracle Morning Update
609
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:31.960
and Expanded Edition has seventy new pages of content. That's
610
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:34.200
one of the things I did is we have resources
611
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:36.240
on the website, but I put a bunch of them
612
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:38.319
in the book so you could actually go through and
613
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:41.799
brainstorm and then write out your affirmations while you're reading
614
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:43.400
the book. So, yeah, I'm glad you asked.
615
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:46.119
And we were talking before about emotional intelligence and the
616
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.039
positive power of emotions. So when you're doing these affirmations,
617
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:51.519
is it important to sort of feel them as you're
618
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:51.960
doing them.
619
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:55.680
I believe that feeling that is crucial with everything that
620
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:58.920
you do. Right, we are emotional creatures, and in order
621
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.079
to be in you know, if you're read your affirmations
622
00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:06.519
in a lazy, tired, lethargic state, right. Imagine if you go,
623
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:12.440
I am committed to achieving my financial goals. Right, It's
624
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:14.680
important because right, that's not gonna get you where you
625
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:18.319
want to go. So yeah, reading them with conviction within.
626
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:21.039
I'll give you a quick example. When I was given
627
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:23.759
a thirty twenty to thirty percent chance of surviving cancer,
628
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:26.640
I was scared. I was optimistic, but I couldn't help
629
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.240
but think of Okay, well I'm a father and I
630
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:32.279
could die. I can't pretend that that's not a possibility.
631
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:34.799
Like I'm gonna put my faith in it, but I
632
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:36.920
have to make sure that my affairs are in order
633
00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:39.640
for my kids and my wife. So it this really
634
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:43.119
hard mindset, Clint, where I had to maintain unwavering faith
635
00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:46.039
I was gonna survive while I planned for my death.
636
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:48.720
Very difficult to do, but I had to do it.
637
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:52.240
So I realized that dwelling in fear, as I said earlier,
638
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:56.079
that was not productive. So I followed this formula Number one.
639
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:58.440
I am committed to beating cancer and living to be
640
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:01.920
one hundred plus years old alongside Ursula and the kids.
641
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:04.440
No matter what, there is no other option. I read
642
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.880
that every day with such conviction fleet that it became
643
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:10.960
my mental and emotional reality. Number two. I had four
644
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:12.960
reasons why it was a musk for me. I was
645
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:16.440
committed to beat cancer, for my wife, for my kids,
646
00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:20.160
for my parents, for myself, and for humanity. There were
647
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:22.839
five reasons, and I elaborated on each of those in
648
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:25.039
my affirmations. Why I was doing it for my wife,
649
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:28.200
why for my kids? Then the third step, what actions
650
00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:31.920
will I take? And when I clarified every holistic protocol
651
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:36.279
that I would do in addition to chemotherapy to survive cancer.
652
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:39.720
So I read those affirmations with such emotion and conviction
653
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:43.319
every day that I truly believe they saved my life,
654
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:47.160
like they were my anchor to optimize my mindset and
655
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:51.319
design and influence my behaviors so that I knew what
656
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.119
I wanted, I knew why I wanted it, what I
657
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.359
was committed to, and I was clear on what I
658
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:57.799
was going to do in order to achieve it. The
659
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:00.519
VA is for visualization, and I won't go through the
660
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:03.160
rest of these quicker affirmation does my favorite spend time
661
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:06.720
on because I think it's so important visualization. All you
662
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:10.319
have to think about is that visualization. It's been taught
663
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:13.079
I think wrong in a lot of ways. But think
664
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:16.119
about how athletes visualize. And here's what I mean. We've
665
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:20.880
been taught to create a vision board, visualize the end result.
666
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:24.079
Now there's value in that when you visualize yourself crossing
667
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:27.160
the finish line, achieving the goal, and you do so
668
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:31.119
with emotion. You generate the compelling emotions of what it's
669
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:35.359
going to feel like to achieve your goals. That compels
670
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:38.079
you to move forward. But it's the least important part
671
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:41.200
of visualization in my opinion. The second part is the
672
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:43.839
most important part. This is what athletes do. Yes, they
673
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:47.559
visualize the championship. That gets amotivated. But the second part
674
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:53.599
is you mentally rehearse yourself taking the actions today that
675
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:57.240
will ensure you get to the goal down the road.
676
00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:59.960
So you mentally rehearse yourself. For me, when I was
677
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:02.720
training for a marathon, I would mentally rehearse myself like
678
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:05.920
a movie, getting dressed in my running clothes, going to
679
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:08.960
the front door, opening my front door, seeing the sidewalk.
680
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:12.359
I'd recite my affirmations one more time of why I
681
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:14.599
was committed to go on that marathon, what I was
682
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.200
going to do. And so what happens is when you
683
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:20.440
mentally rehearse the actions in a peak state. Then when
684
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:24.599
it's time to actually take those actions, you are infinitely
685
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:29.000
more compelled and motivated and driven to do the things
686
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.119
that you mentally rehearsed while being in a peak state
687
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:38.000
during the morning. That's visualization the exercise not rocket science here.
688
00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:40.359
It's not about going through the gym. It's moving your
689
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:42.559
body first thing in the morning. I go to the
690
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:45.279
gym in the afternoon, but I move my body for
691
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:47.559
five minutes in the morning. I do jumping jacks, I
692
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:51.079
do stretching, and as little as sixty seconds of jumping
693
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.680
jacks will take your mental alertness from a two in
694
00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:58.160
the morning to like an eight. I mean you're because
695
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:01.480
the point of morning exercise, it's not about building muscle
696
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:04.480
in the morning, it's about getting the blood and oxygen
697
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:08.760
to flow through your body, including up to your brain.
698
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:11.320
Right when you do jumping jacks or whatever. Go for
699
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:14.760
a brisk walk and now you're going, okay, I'm awake. Right,
700
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:18.280
you're breathing heavy. Now you're awake. Now you're alert, and
701
00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:21.960
now you have far more energy that you've generated through
702
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.679
exercise and mental clarity to be effective throughout the morning
703
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:27.960
and throughout the rest of the day. The R is
704
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:31.840
for reading. Again, there's no rocket science here. But whatever
705
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:33.519
you want to achieve in your life. You want to
706
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:36.039
improve your marriage, there's a book for that. You want
707
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:38.199
to make more money, there's a book for that. And
708
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:40.719
it's simply starting your morning by doing a little bit
709
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:42.679
of reading and if you do some math. Let's say
710
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:44.760
you read ten pages in the morning. Now, if you're
711
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:47.159
a decent reader, that's like, no, ten minutes. If you're
712
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:50.119
a slow reader, that's twenty minutes. But let's say ten
713
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.920
page today. That's three thousand, six hundred and fifty pages
714
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:59.199
a year. That's the equivalent of eighteen two hundred page
715
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:02.320
self help books or books on achieving the things you
716
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:06.280
want to achieve. Can you imagine fleet if anyone listening,
717
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.360
if you read eighteen books are cut in half five
718
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:13.199
pages a day, that's nine books just under a book
719
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.639
a month on an area of your life that you
720
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:17.920
want to improve. That means in one year you could
721
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:21.519
master you could learn how to master your health, your wealth,
722
00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:25.159
your relationships, your fitness, you name it right or one
723
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:28.440
book away. And the final ESSM. Sabers is for scribing,
724
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:31.679
which is a fancy word for writing or journaling, and
725
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:35.360
that the power of taking the sixty thousand thoughts that
726
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:38.519
go through your head every day and clarifying the ones
727
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:42.039
that are of the most value in writing every morning.
728
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:44.679
And for me, there's two things I write in the morning.
729
00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:48.760
Minimum Number one, what am I grateful for? And I
730
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:51.000
take it from my head and I put my hand
731
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:53.760
on my heart and I close my eyes and I
732
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:56.199
picture the thing I wrote down, and I take it
733
00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:58.880
from intellectual gratitude that's up in my head like a
734
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:03.599
checklist to heartfelt, soulful gratitude that enhances my mental and
735
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:06.719
emotional well being. I picture my kids and I smile,
736
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:08.800
and I think about how much I love them and
737
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:11.280
how grateful I am for them, or my wife, or
738
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:14.559
the roof over my head, or my business, or my clients,
739
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:16.519
you name it. And the second thing I do is
740
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:17.679
I look at my to do list for the day.
741
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:19.800
It's usually got ten to fifteen twenty things on it,
742
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:22.239
and I ask myself, what's the one thing, what's the
743
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:23.920
number one thing on my to do list that will
744
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:26.519
move the needle the most? Because that's usually the thing
745
00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:29.599
that we avoid. Human nature is to gravitate towards the
746
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:35.039
easiest thing with the least scary consequence, check it off
747
00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:38.400
and trick ourselves into thinking we're being productive when we're
748
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:42.119
really just being busy. So I use scribing to transition
749
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.440
from the miracle morning into and it closes it out
750
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:47.719
with gratitude. Then I'm looking at the to do list
751
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:50.119
and I'm going, Okay, what's the number one thing that
752
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:53.000
I'm committed to do today to earn the right to
753
00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:54.880
work on? And then I look at what's the number
754
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:57.320
two most important thing to get done, and then number
755
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:00.719
three and so on. And that's how I optimiz my
756
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:05.119
productivity every single day is using the final essence savers
757
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.920
describing practice to transition into the workday.
758
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:10.360
And this is a proven formula. You've done it, and
759
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:13.480
you've created incredible success with it, and at least a
760
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:15.519
million people around the world are doing it, if not more.
761
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.320
And I can tell you I'm doing it every morning.
762
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:19.800
It's made a huge difference in my life. How do
763
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.159
we set ourselves up for success? Because if I end
764
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:25.360
up staying up late or eating a lot late at night,
765
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:28.320
or there are other things where I'm not sleeping, well,
766
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:31.000
it's gonna be tough or it's gonna get easy to
767
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:33.119
get wake up to my God, I don't feel good
768
00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:35.079
enough today. I'm gonna skip that. I can't do it.
769
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:37.159
So how do we set ourselves up for I know
770
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:39.639
in your newest iteration of your book you talk about
771
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:42.199
the miracle evening. How you set yourself up for success?
772
00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:45.599
Yeah, I've always said, ever since the original Miracle Morning,
773
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:48.639
published over a decade ago, that a miracle morning starts
774
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:50.960
the night before with your preparation. But I always had
775
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:53.840
a very minimal preparation. It was basically I had written
776
00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:57.599
a set of evening affirmations based on the premise that
777
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:01.280
what you think about before bed comes your first thought
778
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:04.239
in the morning. And all use a couple examples, like
779
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.960
when I was a kid Christmas Eve, falling asleep, all
780
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:10.199
I could think, Oh my gosh, Santa's coming in the morning.
781
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:12.800
I'm getting presents in them. Ah wah yeh kids, Christmas Tomorrow.
782
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:17.360
I went to bed and thinking about Christmas, excited. As
783
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:20.280
soon as my eyes opened in the morning, what was
784
00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:22.719
my first thought? It was the last thought I had
785
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.639
before bed, and I had the same level of energy
786
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:28.159
and enthusiasm that I fell asleep with that. I was
787
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:31.599
excited when I woke up. Now on a side note,
788
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:34.320
that to me was the miracle morning when I started
789
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:38.000
practicing and I realized I can recreate that state of
790
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:42.119
excitement every night before bed. But here's the problem. For
791
00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:47.559
most people. They don't go to bed peaceful, grateful, or
792
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:52.039
excited for the morning. They go to bed stressful, worried,
793
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:56.360
anticipating the morning, not with the excitement, with anxiety. And
794
00:38:56.440 --> 00:38:58.159
so if we go to bed, so not only does
795
00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:00.719
it affect our quality of sleep. We can't fall asleep,
796
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:03.440
we can't stay asleep, but we go to bed thinking,
797
00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:05.079
oh my god, I gotta wake up in the morning,
798
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:06.920
I've got so much on my to dolist, I'm so stressed,
799
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:09.440
the world's a crazy place. And then as soon as
800
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:12.960
our eyes open, it's the opposite of that Christmas morning
801
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:15.920
description I gave. And now we hit our before our
802
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:19.239
feet hit the floor. We're anxious, we're stressed, and we're overwhelmed.
803
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:22.199
And so for me, the simplest form was I'm going
804
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:27.039
to create bedtime affirmations that so I'm intentional about what
805
00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:29.960
I think, what I focus on, what I tell my
806
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.960
subconscious every night before I fall asleep, so that I
807
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:37.239
go to bed at peace. I go to bed feeling grateful,
808
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:40.639
and I go to bed excited to wake up tomorrow
809
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:43.159
do my miracle morning and have the best start to
810
00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:46.079
the day. And I was able to recreate that Christmas Eve,
811
00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:50.559
Christmas Morning, you know, feeling every single day. So that's
812
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:52.639
the short of it. In the new edition of the book,
813
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:55.440
it's a twenty plus page chapter on the miracle evening.
814
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:57.960
And you mentioned what if I eat a lot, I
815
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:02.719
cover seven different steps before bed to create a ritual
816
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:06.400
to land the plane if you will right so that
817
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:08.599
you go to bed, and I call it it said,
818
00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:12.679
a miracle evening is your strategy for blissful bedtime and
819
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:15.840
better sleep. And what inspired me to actually write that
820
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:18.639
chapter in the new edition is in twenty twenty, I
821
00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:21.400
went through a six month period where I was suffering
822
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:24.800
after going through chemotherapy for over eight hundred hours over
823
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:29.880
three years, and I was suffering from extraordinary insomnia and
824
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.519
sleep deprivation where I was sleeping two to four hours
825
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:36.239
a night. I was suicidal. It was the worst time
826
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:38.639
in my life, worse than anything else that I've gone
827
00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:41.679
through before that. And I figured out how to get
828
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:44.679
through it, and then I started asking my audiences at
829
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:47.119
this I speak all the time, and I'd be speaking
830
00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:49.280
every company I spoke for, I raised my hand or
831
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:51.519
I said, raise your hand if you struggle to fall
832
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:55.119
asleep or stay asleep, and it was always roughly half
833
00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:58.119
of the audience that raised their hand. And I thought, Okay,
834
00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:00.719
I've figured out how to get through this and go
835
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:05.400
from horrific sleep to sleeping like a baby. And so
836
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:09.679
I put all of this into that Miracle Evening chapter.
837
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:13.000
And when I read that story, I mean all the
838
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:15.440
adversity you've done with and it's so compelling and so
839
00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:18.559
powerfully stories, and that one really hit me. The level
840
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:21.159
of insomna you were dealing with was really extreme and
841
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:24.440
took you all the way into suicidality, and you found
842
00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:26.000
your way to work through it by basically, you know,
843
00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:28.559
a lot of what we're talking about. We're talking about mindset,
844
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:31.679
we're talking about intention, We're talking about these practices we
845
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:35.239
can do to manage our motions and manage our thought processes.
846
00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:38.280
And so we're really talking about in some ways, becoming
847
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:42.519
the architecture of our own brain, our own neural architecture, designing, programming,
848
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:46.239
And you know, we're talking about this maybe more psychological terms,
849
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:49.480
but there's a whole neural landscape underlying this, and there's
850
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:53.000
what we now know about neuroplasticity. We can literally reprogram
851
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:56.599
our own brains. We can completely shift our neural architecture
852
00:41:56.599 --> 00:41:58.719
to create the life we want. And deeper than that,
853
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:00.440
if you get in that stuff, there's a whole quantum
854
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:02.880
theory level and everything. I mean, this is an amazing
855
00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:05.920
phenomenon of the human being and we can literally become
856
00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:08.400
the captains of our own ship, and it's kind of limitless.
857
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:10.400
And that's what you're pointing us in a direction.
858
00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:13.280
Of Well, and you said something really important that a
859
00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:15.480
lot of this is about mindset, and then you also
860
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:18.760
mentioned it's also about practices, and I really want to
861
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:24.320
highlight practices because practices are what cultivate the mindset and
862
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:27.719
make it sustainable. If anybody's ever gone to an event
863
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:29.960
like a Tony Robbins event, which I've been to, love
864
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:32.360
Tony been to his events, But if you've ever gone
865
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:36.360
to an event where it shifted your mindset, you're there
866
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:39.599
and you're like, oh my gosh, all these possibilities. I
867
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:42.960
see my potential, I see what's possible. But if you
868
00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:47.719
didn't integrate practices into your life. Then when you went home,
869
00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:50.880
you went back into the same practices, none of which
870
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:54.119
core cultivating the mindset that you were introduced to at
871
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:58.440
the event, and then nothing in your life changes. And
872
00:42:58.519 --> 00:43:01.079
I've been there, I've done that. We can all relate
873
00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:04.760
to that. The practice is that's what makes the Miracle morning.
874
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:06.960
People have asked me as an author, they go, like, hell,
875
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:09.280
I wrote a book, why is the Miracle Morning? So
876
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:13.239
like sticky, how is it this word of mouth phenomenon?
877
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:16.000
Like how are you doing this? And I've had to
878
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:18.119
reverse engineer and I go, you know what it is.
879
00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:22.079
Most books shift your mindset, but it short lived because
880
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:23.480
when people get to the end of the book, they
881
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:26.639
don't do anything differently. They put the book away, they go, wow,
882
00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:29.079
that was amazing, But all they do is start reading
883
00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:31.239
another book and now they have a different mindset shift.
884
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:37.599
The Miracle Morning, inherently is about integrating daily practices that
885
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:42.400
enable you to keep cultivating that mindset indefinitely. So yeah,
886
00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:46.719
it's very important. The mindset is important. The practices are
887
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:49.199
what cultivate the mindset. And if you have a short
888
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:52.519
term mindset shift but you don't support it with practices,
889
00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:55.280
it's likely going to fade away.
890
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:58.559
And really populinsight is to realize that we're always practicing.
891
00:43:58.599 --> 00:43:59.960
The question is what do we practice?
892
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:00.760
Right?
893
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:03.760
Yeah, and our old practices, our old habits, will take
894
00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:05.760
us right back into the old way of being unless
895
00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:09.000
we put in these new practices. And for example, maybe
896
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:12.039
we have a gratitude practice. We're cultivating gratitude in our
897
00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:14.840
affirmation or in our savior as routing team, Well, how
898
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:18.199
do we go from having a gratitude practice to becoming
899
00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:21.199
a grateful person? Right? We do the practice a lot.
900
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:24.039
Right states become traits, and we repeat it again and
901
00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:26.280
again and again, and pretty soon we've changed our brain
902
00:44:26.599 --> 00:44:29.440
and we actually find that to be our baseline. Where
903
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:33.000
we've changed our baseline and it's completely possible, and it
904
00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:35.800
read been such a powerful model of that. I'd like
905
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:38.119
to talk a little bit about here. I know life
906
00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:40.599
balance is really important too. You have young kids now,
907
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:43.000
and you're really structuring your business life so you can
908
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:45.320
really spend time with kids, your kids so you don't
909
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:48.599
lose that and so you're really about succeeding in business
910
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:51.159
and succeeding in life, and so talk about that a
911
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:53.840
little bit. But then also about making it even bigger
912
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:55.800
than just my own success with my own kids there,
913
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:58.360
because you really you have a goal to really shift
914
00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:01.960
humanities consciousness, a vision that's really keeping you moving forward
915
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:04.079
and inspiring you to make it more than just about
916
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:05.599
your own success. So I wonder if you could talk
917
00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:08.400
about both balancing our life so our personal life and
918
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:11.159
our business life aren't at odds, and then making it
919
00:45:11.199 --> 00:45:12.599
about something bigger as well.
920
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:16.679
Yeah, the early experiences that I had. But my choice is,
921
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:19.559
or my belief is that my purpose, and I think
922
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:21.400
this could be true for all of us. It could
923
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:25.320
be a universal purpose for anyone. But my purpose is
924
00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:28.159
to It used to be to fulfill my potential so
925
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:31.280
that I can help other people fulfill theirs. Now that
926
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:34.079
was my first purpose that I ever wrote down, and
927
00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:36.480
it is still one of my purposes. Yes, you can
928
00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:38.239
have more than one. That's one thing I've realized is
929
00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:41.320
it's not one life purpose. It's hey, what I have
930
00:45:41.400 --> 00:45:43.960
more than one purpose? Just like right in your work,
931
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.440
you might have more than one purpose. So one of
932
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:48.639
my purposes to fulfill my potential to help other people
933
00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:53.280
fulfill theirs. But now my purpose is to serve like
934
00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:56.440
it is to serve, to be of service to others
935
00:45:56.960 --> 00:45:59.719
and so. And it's aligned with that first purpose, because
936
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:03.159
the first purposes fulfill my potential in service of others.
937
00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:06.880
But it starts with my family. And what I realized,
938
00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:09.239
that's what my cancer journey taught me, is I was
939
00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:12.199
a workaholic and I did not realize it. I was
940
00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:15.880
so ambitious and I was so I had such big,
941
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:18.239
a big purpose. If I want to change the world
942
00:46:18.280 --> 00:46:20.880
and help all these people, and my family would take
943
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.519
a back burner. Hey, sorry, I tell my wife's feed.
944
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:25.599
I gotta work again. I got this big thing, and
945
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:28.159
I'm changing lives and I'm making us money. And da
946
00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:30.000
da da da da da da da dah. The cancer
947
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:33.760
journey taught me is I was valuing quantity over quality.
948
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:39.039
I was valuing changing the world over being fully present
949
00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:43.000
and engaged with the three people who mattered most to me.
950
00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:47.159
And I found this is true with far too many entrepreneurs. Again,
951
00:46:47.159 --> 00:46:48.840
when I'm giving a speech, I'll say, how many of
952
00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:51.800
you have families? Raise your hand and keep your hands up.
953
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:55.000
If family's your number one priority. All the hands that
954
00:46:55.079 --> 00:46:58.440
go up, every single one of them stays up. I said, Okay,
955
00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:00.719
put your hands back down. I want you to put
956
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:03.440
your hands back up. If I were to look at
957
00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:05.719
your schedule right now, those of you that said families
958
00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:07.079
your number one priority, if I were to look at
959
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:11.239
your schedule, would that be obvious? And very few hands
960
00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:14.519
go back up? And so and that was me. And
961
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:19.800
so for me now, I have arranged my life, my schedule,
962
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:23.599
my work to only work when my kids are not
963
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:26.159
in school. So as soon as I wake my kids
964
00:47:26.199 --> 00:47:27.760
up in the morning with my and then I get
965
00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:30.480
them ready, and then I drive my daughter to school,
966
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:33.599
and my work day starts at nine because that's when
967
00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:35.480
I get back from taking my daughter to school. Well,
968
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:37.480
I have to leave at three o'clock. In fact, as
969
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:39.559
soon as we're done in five minutes fleet, I'm getting
970
00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:41.159
in the car and I'm going to pick up my
971
00:47:41.239 --> 00:47:43.920
son from school and then I'm taking him to the YMCA.
972
00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:47.599
So my whole world revolves around my family. And I'll
973
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:51.840
tell you that was not an overnight thing. That took
974
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:55.280
years for me to be able to shift my schedule.
975
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:57.119
And it was like I would try it and then
976
00:47:57.119 --> 00:47:59.199
I would fall back. And so I want to get
977
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:02.960
like encourage anyone, give yourself grace, but make that a
978
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:05.880
north start. If you are an entrepreneur, whether it's your
979
00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:09.920
family or it's your health, put what matters most first,
980
00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:13.719
and it is not money at the very least, it's health,
981
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:16.400
and it's beyond that, it's relationships. I was just doing
982
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:18.400
a research for a podcast on how to be Happier
983
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:22.760
in twenty twenty five, and a Harvard study, very recent
984
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.840
study proved that the number one predictor of happiness is
985
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:30.119
the quality of our relationships and how often we sacrifice
986
00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:31.920
our relationship because we got to work late and we
987
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:34.239
got to achieve this goal and that goal. So keep
988
00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:36.760
in mind that I believe at the number one and
989
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:40.239
number two priorities in every human beings life. I'm projecting
990
00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:45.280
here but health, relationships and consider I know for me,
991
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:49.239
I used to value productivity above health all the time
992
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:52.440
because I would take adderall that the doctor prescribed that
993
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:55.320
wasn't healthy for me, But boy could I focus for
994
00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:57.719
hours and hours on end. As soon as I got cancer,
995
00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:00.840
I stopped taking that. I stopped putting anything and synthetic
996
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:03.400
in my body, even if it helped me more productive.
997
00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:07.199
So anyway, that's around the family piece and then around
998
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:09.360
the world piece. And why don't I give you a
999
00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:11.039
site or I want to turn it back to you fleet?
1000
00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:14.320
How did you phrase that question around beyond family? How
1001
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:15.760
did you phrase the question just.
1002
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:18.920
To you have a vision bigger than just the benefit
1003
00:49:18.960 --> 00:49:21.480
of your own success and your family's well being, That
1004
00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:25.480
there's something about really contributing to the largest sphere of
1005
00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:27.079
human consciousness in life.
1006
00:49:27.599 --> 00:49:30.199
Yeah, the Miracle Morning mission is to elevate the consciousness
1007
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:33.719
of humanity, one morning at a time. And I came
1008
00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:36.119
to that by realizing that, well, what does it mean
1009
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:38.840
to elevate your consciousness? And that's what the Miracle Morning does.
1010
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:41.000
Is when you do the Miracle Morning, you're doing these
1011
00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:44.599
daily practices, you're elevating your consciousness, which means to elevate
1012
00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:49.159
your awareness of your thoughts, words, and actions and how
1013
00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:51.440
they impact you and other people. So you're able to
1014
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:56.760
be more intentional and to choose to shape your thoughts, words, actions,
1015
00:49:56.800 --> 00:50:00.079
and as we talked about earlier, your emotions. Right, So,
1016
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:02.239
when you're doing the Miracle Morning and you're in silence
1017
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:05.360
and you're doing contemplative meditation, and you're being aware of
1018
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:08.239
the thoughts that you're thinking, you're aware of the emotions
1019
00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:10.679
that you're feeling, and then you're able to, from that
1020
00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:15.400
place of awareness, be more intentional about crafting, choosing, designing,
1021
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:20.920
cultivating the optimal states, thoughts, behaviors. So when you do
1022
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:24.880
your miracle morning, you elevate your consciousness. Consciousness is it's
1023
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:27.599
the ultimate superpower. If you have a low level of
1024
00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:31.280
consciousness and you're not very aware and you're not very intentional,
1025
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:34.639
then life's going to happen to you. When you elevate
1026
00:50:34.639 --> 00:50:37.960
your consciousness, you become the creator of your life and
1027
00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:40.719
you design the life. You create the life that you
1028
00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:44.800
want on your terms from a place of awareness and intention.
1029
00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:49.039
So my mission, and it goes back to the car accident,
1030
00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:53.519
all these experiences. I believe my responsibility and we could
1031
00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:57.559
all take this on, is that it's my responsibility to
1032
00:50:57.719 --> 00:51:00.719
help as many people as I possible we can. That's
1033
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:03.840
what my life is about for the rest of my life.
1034
00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:07.719
And the neat thing about this client is I can't fail.
1035
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:11.440
See a lot of us set these goals where they
1036
00:51:11.440 --> 00:51:14.039
are these black and white goals, and it's a paradigm
1037
00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:17.000
of if I achieve the goal, I succeed, Like I
1038
00:51:17.039 --> 00:51:19.320
want to earn a one hundred thousand dollars or a
1039
00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:22.679
million dollars or sell a million books or whatever. If
1040
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:24.519
I achieve the goal, and I've set goals like this,
1041
00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:26.480
and I still do from time to time. But if
1042
00:51:26.480 --> 00:51:28.159
I achieve the goal, I succeed, and if I don't
1043
00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:30.760
achieve it, I failed. But if you wake up and
1044
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:33.840
you just go, my mission is to make the biggest
1045
00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:37.079
impact I can make every single day and every person's
1046
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:39.440
life that I come in contact with, from you know,
1047
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:41.840
the waitress or the waiter at the restaurant, to the
1048
00:51:41.920 --> 00:51:44.480
you know, every human being, starting with the people that
1049
00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:47.000
are closest to you. So for me, it starts with
1050
00:51:47.039 --> 00:51:50.679
the my inner circle. And then once I've served my
1051
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:53.119
family for the day and the kids are off at school,
1052
00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:57.320
well now I've got what six hours to serve humanity
1053
00:51:57.519 --> 00:51:58.760
to the best of my abilities.
1054
00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:02.360
Wow. I think that's a really powerful place to bring
1055
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:04.639
our conversation in. I'd love to keep exploring some of
1056
00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:06.119
