| 0:00.0 | You've been researching so much about mindset, about neuroscience, about the body, about |
| 0:06.0 | nutrition, about all the different medical things that are out there. |
| 0:09.4 | Is there something new that you do with your morning routine now that is different then? |
| 0:13.9 | And what has really helped accelerate your productivity, your joy, your peace at this level |
| 0:20.0 | with your morning routine? Well, I have certain fundamentals that haven't changed. You know, I think I've shared with you before. The first thing I do every single morning is I go in freezing cold water. And I've shared this with many people. It's not because I'm a masochist. But because it moves the lymph of your body, as you well know. And when you jump in, it never feels good to go in, but getting out, you feel incredible. But I do it for a different reason. I do it to train my brain to say, when I say now, it means now. When I say go, we go. I don't stand there because it's cold and go maybe in a minute when I'm ready. And I think I've shared with you before. I don't think I've ever had a morning. I look forward to jumping in that water ever. But I always do it because I've trained my brain. This is how we work. And if you train your brain to do that every single day, then it'll do it on the more difficult and important things in life. But I also then I do my priming. I think you're familiar with, which is I do 10 minutes and I pick 10 minutes because if I said do 20 minutes or 30, |
| 1:14.3 | oh, I don you're familiar with, which is I do 10 minutes and I pick 10 minutes |
| 1:12.0 | because if I said do 20 minutes or 30, I don't have time. But if you don't have 10 minutes for your life, you don't have much of a life. So I do this 10 minute process. And if people want to know it rather than walk through it right now, they can go to Tony Robbins forward slash priming. There's a video it's free. But the essence of it is, I change my body radically, |
| 1:28.8 | and I do three things to make sure that my brain is primed. And what I mean by primed is, |
| 1:34.4 | most people think their thoughts are their thoughts, Lewis, and you and I know better, |
| 1:38.1 | because you and I've read the studies, right? Priming is a psychological principle where |
| 1:42.6 | you think thoughts and you think they're yours, but very often |
| 1:45.9 | they're created by the environment. So one example was Harvard has done multiple studies on this. |
| 1:50.5 | One of the studies they did was taking people, walking up to people. They hired two actors. |
| 1:56.1 | They walked up to 100 people. They had to do the exact same thing, men and women. And what they did is they'd walk up with a cup of coffee in their hand and they'd look at you and go, here, would do this for a second? And they'd look down and reach in their pocket to pull out their phone. And most people then take the coffee. There's nobody there. You're not looking to give it back, right? And then they do what they're doing the phone. |
| 2:18.2 | They put it back in. They go, thank you so much. And they take their coffee back and they walk away. But then about 20 minutes later, if you're at a mall or school campus or whatever, a person comes by with a clipboard and they give you $20 and they say, listen, I know this sounds crazy. but if you'll give me 30 seconds of your time, |
| 2:34.4 | the $20 is yours. |
| 2:35.7 | I need you to read two minutes of this literally. and they say, listen, I know this sounds crazy, but if you'll give me 30 seconds of your time, |
| 2:34.4 | the $20 is yours, I need you to read two minutes of this, literally this little story, |
| 2:39.4 | and then just answer three questions for me. |
| 2:41.8 | Here's the interesting part. |
| 2:44.1 | Half the people have a reaction more than 80%, and half have a reaction 80% difference, |
| 2:50.1 | and here's the question. They read the same story. |
