Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

Today's episode is all about unlocking the power of your mind.

Having a growth mindset is one of the most crucial decisions you can make in your life.

Mental toughness can allow you to respond instead of react.

To be in control instead of react, and give you the endurance you need to follow your dreams.

The biggest thing with the mind and managing mind is to accept that depression, anxiety,

even the scary words like bipolar and schizophrenia and then going to the more sort of things like that we can accept grief, anger, etc.

These are not illnesses.

This is the biggest message that I probably have.

The second biggest, the first is that mind is the source and if you

don't get mind right everything else you can read all the great books you want and go to all the

great seminars and self-help but unless your mind is right you won't ever use that stuff it's just data and so you

do you these that's there's another step missing and it's understanding that autonomy

that sense of agency that we have to manage what's going on around us and to accept

part of mind management is not to make the bad stuff go away but to know how to

live in the bad stuff because it's not going away. So despair, anger, depression,

anxiety, these are all completely normal responses.

In fact, they're very helpful. They're helpful messengers and warning signals as opposed to being

scary illnesses. They are not neuropsychiatric brain diseases like we've

been told. They are actually responses and because they are responses of our mind in the

world we use our brain and body to express them because we've got the mind has to have the brain and body to

you know build the thoughts and then from we use that to speak we're using our physical to to store what we've processed and to convert in them to speak.
