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.

I think the law of attraction and manifesting are the same thing.

Law of attraction for everybody who has not read the secret is simply your thoughts become things.

And it's true. We've talked all about how when you have a negative

self-talk it tends to draw more of that to you. I think about it like lint and a

dryer once negative stuff starts to starts collecting it collects a lot more.

Part of the reason why negative self-talk is so crippling is not only because

you've repeated it for so long and now it's a pattern, but it's also because you have a filter on your brain called the reticular activity system.

Now, the RAS has one job, and the job is block out 99% of what's going on and let in 1% of what's going on.

So your RAS has a monster job. It's like a bouncer at a bar.

You're not coming in, you can come in. There are only

four things that automatically get through the bouncer in your brain, the RES. Number one, your name. So you've experienced

being in a crowded place and somebody's like,

you think you hear Lewis and you're like, huh, somebody call my name? That was the

balancer in your brain. The second thing that always gets let in is any threat to your safety.

So there are loud noises all the time, but only ones in in is the only one's in close proximity

make you go like this.
