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

I firmly believe that taking charge of your mindset allows you to be in the driver's seat of your life and unlock your potential.

And that's why I'm thrilled to share that my new book is out right now.

It's called The Greatness Mindset. In it you'll learn how to build a

plan for greatness through powerful exercises and toolkits designed to propel your life forward.

This is the book that I wish I had 20 years ago.

It's everything I've learned in the last decade with the research and the science to

help you unlock your mind. Make sure to go to Lewishouse.com slash 2023 mindset to pick up your copy of my book The

Greatness Mindset today. I explore this within myself a lot how much is the past necessary and I keep

coming to the conclusion that it's necessary that becoming self-observational understanding, I think that developing

through a mindfulness-based meditation practice is incredibly helpful because it actually helps us to

fire up our brain in a new way that then allows for self-observation throughout the day.

There's no magic cushion, there's no magic anything the way I see it.

We can't do something once and then expect my day to look different magically because I've meditated

in the morning. Yeah, there's some games and some peace, but if I'm not watching myself throughout

the day and if I don't train myself to watch myself throughout the day,

to watch my patterns, to watch the thoughts

that are causing those emotional reactions,

especially to see when I'm triggered,

just when I'm having a big feeling about a current event. Typically, the feeling is really big, so it's about. big And so there's always a reason why things are way bigger than they maybe ought to be logically in that moment.

And then that's where we dive in and give ourselves some new, either releasing the emotional valve, soothing our own emotional wounds in that

moment not looking outside of anyone or anything else to make us feel better at least
