Mindset Tricks with Joe De Sena at Joe Polish's Genius Network

I've interviewed tons of Olympians, military, all kinds of folks. And it's always around this resiliency and grit and those questions. And I do this myself. I didn't even realize I was doing it. When you wake up in the morning and you don't feel like working out, there's a couple of tricks. And one is say to yourself, you know what? I know I was gonna go to the gym and do an hour. You could say to yourself, I'm only gonna do five minutes. So that's one great trick. The other great trick is have all your stuff out and say to you, I just gotta get my sneakers on. That's okay, right? Because 99% of the time, you end up doing the full hour anyway. And so do the Olympia, and so do military people. When I'm in the grind and I'm trying to run a couple hundred miles, some crazy thing, right? I'm carrying this damn kettlebell. For me, personally, everybody's got their own little word or phrase. For me personally, I remember Muhammad Ali. Will Smith plays him in the movie, and he is saying, I'm willing to die. Like, to his opponent, he's saying to himself, and I don't know, that's the sentence that, like, I'm like, you're not. Like, I'll take it to the end. You know, Like, I secretly wish I was wrestling that tiger, that lion that we read about. Like, I don't know. I have an issue that we got to work on.
