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 out of control and give you the

endurance you need to follow your dreams.

The first time that I really started to be aware

that my subconscious was controlling me was when I was in my car stopped at a red light and I realized

I was going to be late and then all of a sudden I started berating myself while you can't do things right, you're not good enough.

You're such an area you forget this

it was that moment that said wait I'm listening to what these words I'm

actually stopping I'm not just saying the words I'm saying the words

but I'm actually listening I said well how many positive things that I just say zero?

Uh oh there's a problem right there and I started to realize we have to stop and be conscious just long enough to listen to these things

they flow through just continuously. You gotta stop and just tune in and say, what am I thinking?

Why?

Because if you start to realize that most of your thoughts are negative,

and this is not good enough, that won't work, blah, blah, blah, and I said.

But that's a creative voice you're talking about right there.

That voice is creating and everything you just said is not part of your creation.

So what if you stopped?

What I did is I just covered up the clock on my car so I didn't have to see how late I was going to be and I got there on the right time.

It's like, why?

Because I didn't focus on all the steps between here and the destination.
