Brian Johnson teaches how to quiet your negative inner voice, which he calls Mr. M. Notice when it speaks, say cancel, then replace it with a short positive statement. The technique comes from Rory Vaden's Take the Stairs and advice from D.C. Gonzalez.
Foreign. This is Brian with another micro class.
This one is on silencing Mr. M.
It's from Take the Stairs. Rory Vaden. Check out the note.
Mr. M, Mr. Mediocrity. We want to get good at silencing this guy. Rory tells us. This guy is tiny. He's almost invisible, but he's got a huge mouth. Huge mouth, little face, little hands, little feet, huge mouth. And he's constantly yelling at us, and he kills momentum. This is the negative voice in our head who's saying things like, you're an idiot. Why'd you do that? Fill in the blank with your negative self talk. Rory makes it unequivocally clear, as do all great teachers. If we want to achieve great things, we. We need to notice when we have Mr. M, Mr. Mediocrity, chit, chatting about all the negative stuff, taking over the airwaves with his megaphone and saying all those negative things. We've got to be aware of that and then stop it and transition into positive self talk. Rory tells us.
And again, a lot of other teachers tell us.
It might feel stupid at first, but talk to yourself positively. You notice the negative voice and you immediately cancel it. And you say to yourself, I've got this. Yes, let's do this. Whatever it takes for you to fire yourself up. I interviewed D.C. gonzalez, who wrote the.
Art of Mental Training the other day.
He says, when you notice the negative, say cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel. And then insert your positive powerful self talk here. And again, you might feel silly.
That's fine.
Do it anyway.
Give it an experiment.
Can't hurt. Remember, Mr. M is tiny, nearly invisible, but he's got a huge mouth and he's committed to killing your momentum.
Don't let him.
Stop the negative chitchat.
Focus on the positive.
Figure out what your positive statements are that fire you up. I like, I've got this. Yes, let's do this.
Those are things that make me smile.
Every time I say I figure them out. Silence, Mr. M. Let your momentum continue in powerful ways.
Hope you enjoyed. Look forward to sharing more soon. See ya. Hey, guys, this is Brian. A lot of people don't know what I do beyond these YouTube videos I put up. So I thought I'd give you a quick tour of our membership platform. Thousands of people have joined us already. 10 bucks a month get access to a ton of stuff, and that's in addition to what I put up on YouTube for free. So the basic idea is you just watched a micro class. Hope you enjoyed that. I share. I just started doing these Micro classes, but I Now share over 50 of these per month. We've shared dozens so far and it's basically a quick class on my absolute favorite stuff across the different domains of optimal living. Two to three maybe five minute little micro classes on how to optimize your life. In addition to that you get access to every single one of our philosophers notes. We now have over 250 philosopher's notes on some really really good books. A lot of them in each one of them. You're familiar with the PNTV videos if you've watched many of those. But we also have pictures, PDFs and MP3s of our Philosopher's notes. So here's. Let's take a look at what a PDF looks like. This is an example of a Philosopher's note. It's a six page PDF where I basically share some of my favorite thoughts, riff on it, talk about how other teachers say the same things, and give you a nice playful kick in the butt to go out and apply the wisdom that is a philosopher's note. I record that as an MP3 that you can download as well. And 250 of those, I produce 10 of those at least per month that I share with you in addition to the micro classes. And then you also get access to all of our old classes. We have the five day immersion reboot habits 101, confidence 101, getting stuff done 101, meditation 101 and then future classes including relationships 101, energy 101, purpose 101, biz 101 goals 101, etc. So there you go. Really blessed to have some extraordinary support and I will share with you where you go to sign up. I'll put a link to this, but basically cruise on over here. You can sign up. And this is the kind of response we've gotten so far from our members. It's pretty neat. I've made more positive changes in my life, My brief membership only 3 months so far than I did through years of counseling. Yes. Brian Johnson, Rockstar. Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. And I'm making huge strides in optimizing my life as a result of your Philosopher's notes and optimal living classes. I spend $19 a month on my gym membership to take care of my body. A mere $10 a month on an optimal living membership is the biggest value invest investment I've ever made in my emotional, mental and spiritual health. Thank you for the incredible work you're doing to inspire us to be rock stars. In our own lives. Unbelievably inspiring and humbling. In 24 hours, we received hundreds of extraordinary notes from members around the world. So there you go. That's a quick look at what we're up to. $10 a month. Hope to astonish you. There you go.
