Principles To Stand In Good Courage | Robin Sharma on Instagram Live

Please know I've done my best to bring some value to you. So first of all, I'm hearing from people around the world that some people are not taking the.

Global pandemic seriously and walking around and going to parks where kids are playing and all that kind of thing. May I humbly suggest, I'm not saying I'm a epidemiologist in any way. I'm simply saying stay home. Simply saying self isolate. I'm simply saying this is one of the best ways that we can flatten the curve so that hospitals are not overwhelmed. I also suggest to stay at home with your loved ones, self isolate. Not only so you, so we prevent the spread of the virus, but you're not only protecting yourself, your health, your family's health, you're protecting your community's health by not being out there. So I think we all have to take, may I humbly suggest, take this very seriously. What I wanted to do in our time together is offer you some ideas to fireproof your confidence and your hope. I know a lot of people are very scared right now. I know a lot of people are facing a lot of anxiety right now. And I'm doing my part. I'm going to be making a big announcement tomorrow.

For a resource that will be very, very helpful to you. So you can look at my feed tomorrow or you can go to my website, which is a source where I'm communicating with as many people as possible, robinsharma.com and you can get on my mailing list and you can get the emails I've been sending which are explaining my tactics, insights, philosophies for showing leadership and bravery and a noble heart during this very difficult time. I think we have to stay courageous. I think we have to stay brave. I think we have to protect our hope. What I would say to you if you're feeling scared right now, what I've been saying, it's okay to not be okay. As a matter of fact, not feeling okay is very okay. If you're feeling afraid, if you're feeling insecure, if you don't know what the future is going to bring, you're being human and, and I would acknowledge you to encourage you to acknowledge how you're feeling. Because what I've learned is when you acknowledge your feelings versus you repress your feelings. Your feelings.

They move through you. So stay with your feelings. Be with your feelings. What would I suggest right now? I think you know this is what I'm calling the Great Resetting. It's a huge change on the planet. I think it was long time coming. I've been teaching my clients philosophies, methodologies, tactics, rituals to prepare themselves for this. And now here it is. I think if you've been doing your inner work, particularly your morning routine, working on the four interior empires that I taught in the 5am Club and in my work mindset, heart set, health set, soul set, you're feeling strong right now and you're ready to serve and you're ready to bring on your creativity. You're going to increase your productivity and you're going to serve many. So I would encourage you right now, if you're at home, you're wondering what to do, it's a great time to turn down the video games and the addictive apps, and it's a great time to start working on yourself. I think the most important work a hero, an everyday hero, can do is capitalizing on your primal gifts, working on yourself to strengthen yourself. And I'm going to give you some tactics. Hopefully my battery will cooperate, but I'm going to give you some specific tactics to start applying. The context is an idea that I've shared, which is the Spartan warriors say, sweat more in training and you'll bleed less in war. And may I suggest that's worth repeating. Sweat more Spartan warrior training philosophy. Sweat more in training and you'll bleed less and more. And so for those of you who have been following me and preparing yourself and been doing the training on self mastery and personal leadership, you're ready to roll. This is a great time for heroes.

I would also reflect on Kobe Bryant, the legendary NBA player. And one of the things I learned from Kobe Bryant was he said, you know, in the Game 7 of the NBA championship, the reason I was able to automatically do that magical shot that won the championship was because he practiced it many, many tens of thousands of times. And I'd simply offer you this point, which is the quality of your performance comes down to the caliber of your practice. And so what I'm going to encourage you to do is spend an hour every morning, I call it the victory hour in my work, working on your four interior empires. Because the way you begin your day sets up the way you live your day. And if you start your day doing the right things to work on your mindset, heartset, health set, and soul set, then the way your day unfolds will be fundamentally different. Let's get right into some mindset tactics, the first interior empire. Then I'll get into health set, heart set, soulset, mindset. One of the best Things I encourage you to do every morning to develop your mindset is a period of meditation. We're way beyond meditation being, you know, flaky or whatever. There's great empirical research confirming it's a great way to get into flow state. It's a great way to rewire your neural circuitry. It's a great way to release oxytocin, so a great way to feel better. So there's some apps I use. I have no.

Investment in these. I'm here to serve you. Calm is really good meditation. Oasis is a podcast I listen to with great meditations. Secondly, affirmations, words are very powerful. So please don't dismiss affirmations. I'm using them right now. You know, I'm strong, a servant, leader, et cetera. Words rewire your psychology. Words are powerful. Mandela, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, mlk, jfk. They lifted nations through their words. And words can destroy. Use your words well. So affirmations are powerful. Another way to work on this, optimize the first interior empire of mindset. Prayer. Prayer is powerful. I am praying a lot. I am asking for guidance. I am praying for strength. I am praying for the opportunity to serve more people. I am praying to protect my family. I am praying for all of us to have good health. I am praying for the world to learn from this and move through this very quickly. And then I would also say reading. I'm surrounded by books right now.

Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.

Worldwide Laws of Life by John Templeton.

Mandela's Way.

Of course, one of my favorites, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. So reading will also rewire your mindset, which is your psychology, because reading is having a conversation with the author. And if you read the right books, their bravery, nobility and stardust will rub off on you. Secondly, I'm moving pretty quickly because you're smart and because I have a low battery on my device here. Second Interior Empire in the 5am Club. Methodology is heart set. Everyone's talking about mindset. While we're more as human beings, we're more than just our psychology. We are our emotionality. Right now, you might be feeling anxiety, which is low grade fear. You might be feeling outright fear. You might be feeling sad, you might be feeling angry. These are human emotions. Do not dismiss them. Embrace them. They need to be acknowledged, to release through you. So what are some ways to process through the emotions of fear that might be coming up, or anxiety or guilt or whatever it is through a journal. I wish I could show you my journal, but writing in A journal. Not intellectually, but staying with the emotions is a great way to move through low grade fear. Pouring your sorrow or your pain. A lot of people are in a lot of trouble right now. Writing about it on a fresh rotten white page is a great way. It's been done for years and for centuries to release the pain from your system. What else do I do for Heart Set Work? Nature walks. Incredibly powerful prayer, Incredibly powerful service. Helping a neighbor next door who might be elderly by picking something up. I know we need to stay at home. Got it. But should you need to go get supplies, picking something up for an elderly neighbor is so profound. Or if you have some supplies, giving to other people, incredibly powerful. If you're going out to the grocery store, please leave. Food for other people versus hoarding. Third interior empire of the four interior empires that will fireproof your hope and your energy, your bravery and your creativity so you can even keep working at home. Health Set. Everyone's talking about mindset. I'm suggesting mindset is only one of the four interior empires. There's Heart Set because we are emotional and then there's our Health set which we need to protect right now. We need to protect our immune system. We need to protect our energy. We need to protect our longevity. So Health Set tactics. Morning exercise. I've talked a lot about it in the 5M Club. If you'd like to go deeper, it's all there for you. It'll release bdnf, brain derived neurotrophic factor which will upgrade your mental processing and actually repair brain cells damaged by stress. Morning exercise, even if it's push ups and running on the spot at home, in your apartment, in your basement, will release oxytocin, serotonin, reduced cortisol, the fear hormone. Powerful Health Set. Drink more water right now. It'll increase metabolic function.

Get your partner to massage you or massage yourself. In the 5am club I talk about the 2 massage protocol which has saved my life. Massage yourself if you're. If you live at home, just give yourself a massage for Health Set optimization. Rest. This is a great time. Take more rest. Be well rested. It'll strengthen your immune system. I'm not giving you medical advice whatsoever. I like vitamin C. Powerful dial in your supplementation program right now I could go on and on about healthcent. Get sunshine. Vitamin D will grow, increases your protects your immune system. Fresh air, powerful nature walks. Powerful Final part of the four interior empire. Soul Set. Soul Set is not religious. Soul Set is simply building a stronger relationship. Not with your egoic self. Which might be activated right now. Your egoic self is your insecure self. It's not your real you. It's the part of you that was formed through the micro and macro trauma as you journey through life. If you, if you're with me in my coaching programs, you know this whole process, if you're new to what I'm saying, I'll simply.

Come on. Battery, co op battery. Spirits, cooperate with me right now. Anyway, as we are born, we experience micro and macro trauma which over the course of a lifetime blocks us with intimacy with our heroic selves. You have a hero inside of you. If you haven't been doing the work to build intimacy with your heroic self, then your egoic self is probably screaming right now.

To build your soul set, I'm going to offer you four ideas. Prayer.

Service to other people. Great way to build your soul set. Reading from wise books. It could be a religious book, could be a book on philosophy. Many great books out there. Could be a biography or an autobiography.

It's a great book, Mandela's Way.

So reading is very powerful because you're having a conversation with the authority and you have a conversation. If it's a wise conversation, you walk away from the conversation transformed, finally.

The three S's to build soulset. Solitude, silence, stillness. We grow not in the noise of the messiness of the world. We grow in solitude, silence and stillness where we can hear the silent whispers of our greatest. I had so much to share with you. I wanted to talk about leadership and I wanted to talk about what you can do for your community. And I don't know if I'll keep going until as long as the battery goes, but then I won't be able to save it. So let me simply say in terms of leadership over, communicate with your team. Bring them hope and self. Not only self isolate, self inspire. Because if you're not full of inspiration and hope and strength and honor, you can't bring those gifts to your followers. Final thing I'd say is community. Let's be good neighbors, let's be good citizens. Like I'm hearing from people, people are outside. People are at parks with their kids. Self isolate to flatten the curve, to stay at home, to prevent the spread. And so you stay healthy, your family stays healthy, and people in our communities stay healthy. Mother Teresa said, if we only swept our own doorstep, the whole world would be clean. And I think we're in this mess in many ways at a larger level, because.

Suffering opens us, suffering cracks the ego, and it gets us back to the Fundamentals of love, leadership, truth, nobility, creativity, service to humanity. And this. We're going to come out of this. It's going to be messy. We're going to come out of this as better human beings, braver souls, more selfless versus selfish, healthier human beings, more spiritually advanced, more creatively intimate. So.

A bad day for the ego is a great day for the soul, isn't it? And this is going to make us stronger. Anyway, need to go so I can save this for you. Share it with people. Live the message. Be a good neighbor. Don't be a victim. Be a leader. Take great care of yourself and your family. And tomorrow I'll be making an announcement about something very special I'm doing for everyone around the world who follows me.
