Workout: Remotivate Yourself

I need you to obsess about your goals and your ambitions and your dreams again. Instead of laying awake worrying about what's going to happen tomorrow, lay awake trying to force your mind to visualize the ideal future. Your mental time towards visualizing feeling and self, talking about your ambitions and your goals are driving your motivation up or down more time. See, most people say, well it's not realistic now Brendan, I'm like, I know, it's just required now. I'm okay, it's not realistic for you to achieve all your things, but if you lose touch with your idealistic future, you will lose your motivation. So key for me, motivation often follows momentum, action. And this is a real sticking point for people right now. People think, oh well, you know, I'll just pause all these things until, and see how this goes through. You need to make positive progress every single day. So what I want you to do in the morning, I do this with my high performance planner. You guys can do it, whatever tools you have. I want you to write down your goals, your dreams. But listen, some people fill it out in the morning. I fill it out in the morning, my goals. I think about my long term dreams and then I just sit with it and I visualize it, I think through it. How can I do that with excellence? How can I make that fun? How can I do that in uncommon ways that I'll enjoy? And let your mind stew on creating ways to achieve your dream. Let your mind stew on creative ways to enjoy the day. Like you need to be visualizing more than you ever have before. If you want motivation to sustain. That is a simple action everybody can do. Get really close every morning to your ambitions and then also just to get action, say, what are three things that I absolutely will do today that are not just household or health tasks? Meaning get your workout in, big achievement. Feed the kids big achievement. I still need you to do three things beyond surviving. Three things. For me, lately it's been I'm gonna shoot this set of videos, right? I just need something from you every day beyond surviving that your brain goes, oh, I'm not just surviving. I'm not just listen. It has to be beyond self care too. Yes, do your self care. But I want you to go beyond self care because here's what your mind listen, please think. And I want you to all really tune into this. Be very attentive to what I'm about to say. If the mind only feels like it's doing the things that are necessary for self care and survival, it will lose motivation. Still so let me say it another way. If all you think about is just self care, which is powerful and you must, and survival stuff powerful and must, but your mind doesn't feel like it's engaging something that is going to help you thrive, not just survive, motivation will go down unconsciously and you won't even know. You're like, I'm doing all the things, Brendan. And I hear this from people all the time, Brendan. I'm doing all the things I yoga, I get a massage once in a a while, I eatly eat green things, I run, I exercise and I still have no motivation. Oh, because if the mind doesn't touch the rim of the future, if the mind doesn't every day touch the rim, do something that reaches for an idyllic future state, motivation will wane. And what's happening is many people are obsessing and ruminating on the inconveniences of now, the threats of now and the fear of now. And they're giving more time to consuming what is in front of them than they are to visualizing what could be. I'm here to say if you lost motivation, you didn't lose motivation, you lost your touch with the future, babe. You didn't lose motivation, you lost the time spent touching the helm of the future by doing something simple today that has a positive impact in the future. I need three things from you every morning. These are three things beyond self care and beyond survival. If you'll get three of those every day, that to the brain will say, I'm touching ambition. I've got some action, I've got some momentum. And those little pieces of momentum, no matter how big a deal, momentum sparks motivation.
