Where are you?! - Dean Graziosi Weekly Wisdom

Hey, everybody. Dean Graziosi, welcome to the Weekly Wisdom. It's an honor and a privilege to have you here. Sharing with me. I know time is crucial, so we'll get three to five minutes in once a week to hopefully give you the inspiration, the motivation, or maybe a tool that can put you on a course to a better life. So thanks so much for being here. Hey, I'm here today to do a shout out to my good friend John Butcher, who owns Lifebook. I don't know if you ever heard of it, but it's a really incredible process. I just did it last weekend. Where you spend three and a half days creating your own life life book. And what does that mean? Well, you go through the 12 areas of your life that impact you the most. So here we went through health and fitness, intellectual life, emotional life, my character, my spiritual life, my love relationship, my parenting, my social life, my financial life, my career, the quality of life, and the vision for the future. 12 different things. When's the last time you took three and a half days or three and a half hours or maybe even have three and a half minutes to map out your life, of where you are, where you want to go and how you're going to get there in all these areas of your life? I've never done this at this level, and it was so incredible because I don't know about you, but whatever area in your life is doing good, maybe it's your health and fitness, maybe it's your love relationship, maybe it's your parenting skills, maybe it's your job, maybe it's your income, whatever's doing good, that means you envision that life to be better in the future. If you're an entrepreneur and have your own business, you envision these things before they happen. If you have a great love connection or a marriage or a relationship, you envision how that relationship can be better before it happens. And you work on it. You put energy in it. And if you have any areas of your life where you set goals, you know those goals come true when you put action items to them and you know your why. And then we wonder why some of these other areas of our lives struggle, right? So, hey, listen, I'm. You think out of all those 12 categories, all mine are perfect. You'd be totally wrong. I have some areas that are rocking in some areas need some massive help. But when you write down where you are, where you want to go and how you're going to get there and the why for each one of these categories, it changes absolutely Everything. So what I was hoping to do is maybe this week we start with one of those categories, and then over the next 3 12, 15 weeks, we cover a lot of those. If something else comes up that I think is more important, maybe I'll plop it in there. But I want you to see the power of writing down each one of these areas of your life and creating a goal for each. It sounds like a lot, but, you know, we'll obsess over a hobby. We'll obsess over things that do nothing for our lives. But when's the last time we obsessed on creating a direction and momentum in an area of your life that you want to improve? So let's just take health this week, okay? For Health, let's start. Here's the exercise. And this is. This is in total respect and admiration for John Butcher, who's done so amazing with Lifebook. And if you can go to Lifebook and do it, I would suggest that you could find it online. So with health, let's start with. And you could pause this video anytime you want. Get a yellow pad or a piece of paper, type it on your computer or your smartphone is. What are your current beliefs about exercise? Do you believe that exercise is one of the most important things in your life because if you. You don't pay now with the exercise, you'll pay later when you're older? Do you believe exercise can make you have vitality and youth and energy and be better for your kids and better for grandchildren? Or are your beliefs that exercise is too hard? Do you believe that you don't have enough time for exercise? Do you believe exercise is for people that have smaller bones or have more time or people that have money or. Or gyms? Going to the gym is for meatheads. I don't know what your beliefs are, but our beliefs are the things that are making you go to the gym every day or making you avoid it like the plague. So what I'd love for you to do is maybe you want to think through what your current beliefs are of health and exercise. And what would you like to replace those? Do you mind if I read you mine? I'll go through this really quick. Might take a second here. My beliefs is that I can cure everything and live a long, vibrant life based on my food and exercise, that nothing is more important than my health, that I'm in total control of my physical destiny, and I can control my biological aids inside and outside through health and exercise. That's a pretty strong belief right now. I went through Years of thinking I didn't have time for exercise. It wasn't on the top of my. On top of my list, but I didn't have the right beliefs. So you start with beliefs. So if you want to pause this video and write down your beliefs, that'd be great. Next, I'd love for you to write down your vision. What is your vision? So I'm going to share mine so you can use this as an example. My vision is my body always looks like I'm an athlete of half my age. Pretty big goal. But hey, that's my vision. Health and fitness is who I am, and it's represented in all I do. Number three. That I maintain the energy and vitality of half my age all the way till I'm 100 years old. That when I look in the mirror, I know I'm honoring the gift that God gave me. My body, that's my vision. So think about that. Think about when you have a belief system that you can tweak and adjust and you have a vision of where you're going with your health. Now, here's where the important is. And you know, I've been doing this for years. If you've been watching me, I always tell you, you need the why. If you don't have the why, you want all this, it's useless. So pause this video anytime you want. Because the next reason, the next thing you need to write down is why you want to have those new beliefs and why it's important for that vision to become a reality. You want to know my purpose, my why? And here's. Look at that, a picture of my kids. That's what you do in this book, too, as you add pictures that empower. It says, set an example, standard and have endless energy for my children. To feel sexy, alive, youthful and unstoppable on a regular basis. To not have ailments, illness, or setbacks from what lack of health and fitness brings to someone's life. That's a pretty strong why. When I don't want to go to the gym in the morning. If I just look at that picture, I'm going to the gym. If I know that I want to set example for my kids, it doesn't matter if I'm tired. I want to live to 100, and I want to be in amazing shape so my grandchildren and I can race down the street and I can beat them. That's what I want, is my vision. Now I'm just giving you my personal stuff. I'm not perfect in any means and all this stuff, exercise happens to be a really important one. I'm strong in that area, but this is how I change it. And lastly, it's your strategy. Here's my strategy, here's how I do it. Exercise every day to set goals in my fitness life, from running a 5k or a 10k to strength goals, time goals up a mountain, to fun competitions with a friend. Number three, work with a personal trainer every time I need to be held accountable. Number four, learn to take a relaxation break. I don't take enough relaxation breaks. And it's great for your body. Get a massage or go to the chiropractor at least once a month. Stretch daily or do yoga once a week. Do what it maintains to have a youthful and vibrant look. Now, guys, this is my life. This is my lifebook. This is what John Butcher's vision was, is that we create this book of what our beliefs are, what beliefs we want, what's the vision, what's the why and how we're going to do it. Kind of the same strategies I've been teaching forever. But how great was it to have one book in all 12 areas of your life? Where are you with your health and exercise? If you're watching me now and you came in because you're a real estate student, you might be going, why the heck is Dean talking about health and fitness? Because I don't care if you become a millionaire for my real estate strategies. But you're sick in the hospital. It's pointless. If your children lose you at a young age, if your grandchildren never get to meet you, if your spouse has to take care of you and you can't enjoy it, then what is it all? What does any of it matter? You're going to pay now or you're going to pay later. Why don't we reverse the clock, rewind the future and let's get exercise to be an important part of your life. Listen, I've slacked before. I've gone months, literally the last couple months, I've slacked more on exercise than I have in the last 10 years. Going to Lifebook. I'm right back six days a week, first thing in the morning because I know my why and because I know where I want to go and I know how I'm going to get there. I urge you to watch this a couple times. Get your health and fitness Lifebook style of where you are, where you want to go, how you're going to get there, and your why. And let's make fitness a part of your life. To have you optimized, have you healthy, have you vibrant. Let's take 10 years off the clock and maybe 10 pounds off around the waist. I'm Dean Graziosi. Thanks for watching.
