I came across this video the other day and I thought I would share it with you.
Mel Robbins has a ton of great books out with some actionable, practical advice in them. (I’m actually going through one of her books on Audible right now.)
Her stuff goes way beyond “Self Help” and I really dig how she cuts through most / all of the guru BS to get right to the heart of whatever issue you or I may be dealing with. All of her work is based on brain research and neurological studies. So, the information she’s dispensing isn’t based on a feeling or an intuition. The processes she goes through in this video above, as well as her books, will have a profound effect on you because they harness the power of how your brain works.
So, instead of writing a whole bunch of stuff about this topic myself today, I’m going to point you toward this great conversation with her and Tom Bilyeu of Impact Theory. But to give you an idea of what you will get from this next hour of content, here are a few quotes from Mel:
- “I hope that when somebody listens to our conversation and watches this that they have a massive a-ha moment, but it’s not going to mean fucking shit if you don’t take action and do something about it.” [3:01]
- “You are going to find yourself not at 25, but 45 or 65, and you’re going to be so filled with regret that you never fucking put a bet on yourself.” [6:29]
- “When you start to have a moment with yourself, the crazy part is you start to build a partnership with yourself.” [15:01]
- “Beating yourself up will not make you do the work to get healthy, and tearing yourself down over the shit that you’ve done or the terrible relationships that you’re in it’s not going to empower you to change the patterns that are keeping you stuck.” [24:50]
- “The thing about jealousy is, it’s just your inspiration that’s blocked. Jealousy is sort of the insecurity that you have that blocks this inspiration” [35:55]
- “Most people aren’t obsessed with their goals, because they don’t believe they’re worthy of them.” [40:36]
- “If you don’t, at some point, be defiant, against what the world or your caregivers or your past experience has pounded into your brain incorrectly, unfairly, you will forever be stuck with that story.” [41:16]
- “You can have nothing, and you can still have your own back. You can have tremendous problems and very real obstacles that you’re facing, and you can have a mindset that says, through my efforts, my attitude, I can have an impact on the situation that I’m in.” [45:09]
Powerful stuff! I hope you get as much out of this as I did. Now, go out there and bet on yourself!!
