How To TRICK Your Brain To Do The HARD THINGS In Life... | Rob Dial

Rob Dial argues your inner critic is the real enemy keeping you stuck in comfort. He says seeking discomfort rewires your brain, and doing hard things now creates an easier future, while avoidance compounds into health and money problems later.

How long have you been stuck in your current comfort zone? You know you're in it. How much longer are you going to stay there? Today we are going to talk about how to stop negotiating with your mind and simply just get done. Because here's the simple way of thinking about it. Either you do things that create the life that you want, or you allow your little inner voice to get in the way of you taking action. There's nothing else in life besides that. That's it. You either take action or you don't. And what holds you back from taking action is usually that little voice that's inside of your head. And so I'm going to teach you how to smash that little voice that's inside of your head. Why? Because everything that you want in your life is usually on the other side of all of your fears. It's on the other side of that little voice that's inside of your head that tells you that you're not good enough, that you're not smart. Smart enough. That what if people judge you? What if people tell you their opinions? What if they reject you? What if somebody says no? Everything that you want is on the other side of that voice that pops up in your head, on the other side of all of the excuses that you keep giving yourself. And if you've been listening to me for long enough, you know what I say? Excuses are like buttholes. Everybody's got one and all of them stink. So if you want to give yourself an excuse, give yourself an excuse. Cool. But you've got to understand that if you put give yourself excuses to not take action, you are going to have to live with those consequences later on in life. If you give yourself excuses why you shouldn't go to the gym, well, 5, 10, 15, 20 years from now, you're going to have to live with the consequences of not going to the gym and taking care of your body. If you decide to not eat healthy for the next 10 years of your life and give yourself excuses as to why you're not eating healthy, you're going to have to live with those consequences later on in life. It's that simple. There's no other way to look at it. It's either black or it's white. There is no gray that's in between. You either get what you want in life or you don't get what you want in life. And life can be easy now and hard later, which is what I just explained, or it can be hard now and easy later. It all depends on if you're Willing to put in the work and have delayed gratification versus instant gratification. What do I mean between the two of those? Delayed gratification would be, I'm going to work out five times a week knowing that your body might not change much over the next two weeks. Three weeks, four weeks, month, two months, three months. And it might not be until 18 months from now until I have the body that I want. It's hard now, but it becomes easier later. Why does it become easier later? Well, because now my body's working at optimal performance. I don't have to worry about having to take a whole bunch of pills or drugs when I get older or possibly be in bedridden or having knee problems or any of that stuff. So it's harder now to put in the work, but it makes life easier later on down the road. What's the flip side of that? Well, the flip side of that is, you know what? I'm gonna eat whatever it is that I want simply because it tastes good. I'm not going to work out. And in five, 10, 20 years, I might have heart issues, might have knee issues, I might have back pain. I might be. To show you where you're not free and where you're triggered. And so it's not, oh, I'm going to succeed in spite of my mom or my dad or my family, it's, I'm going to succeed by going by working through that. So instead of just throwing them off to the side and going, well, I'm going to succeed. Screw them. I don't have to worry about them. Your way to success, your biggest opportunity for growth, is actually through that relationship. Working on that relationship is your next level of growth. The obstacle is the way it is literally showing you what you need to work on. Most people try to avoid the obstacles. They try to avoid the triggers. But that is literally showing you what you need to work on. You can't not listen to it. You got to listen to it. If you continue to avoid it and avoid and avoid it, it's just going to get worse and worse and worse. So when the voice pops up in your head, don't negotiate with it. You have to go through that little voice. It's going to tell you you're not good enough. It's going to tell you you're not smart enough. It's going to tell you that you're not pretty. It's going to tell you that you're not worthy of love. It's going to tell you that you're not worthy of making $200,000 a year. It's going to tell you that you're not worthy of having a beautiful family. It's going to tell you that you're not worthy of a family that doesn't have struggles like it did when you were growing up. It's going to tell you all of those things, but you have to go through that because that is your biggest area of growth. Your comfort zone is what that thing is trying to keep you in. And your comfort zone is where all of your dreams go to die. All of your dreams go to die in your comfort zone. All of. Simply because all of your dreams are outside of your comfort zone. So you've got to push past it. You can't wait until you're comfortable. You can't wait until you're ready. What you have to do is you have to jump off the ledge just knowing that the parachute's going to pop up. You don't know if you have a parachute on, but you just got to know that the parachute will be there. You can't wait till you're ready. The time will never be perfect. The only time is now. It's so funny. So many people send me messages and they're like, you know, I really want to create the life that I want to, but I'm so busy right now. So I think. I think I'm probably going to start my business in two months. I'm going to start my. My business that I want to succeed in in two months. And then you follow up with them in another two months, and like, oh, my God, I got so busy again. And you follow up another two months like, oh, my God, I got so busy again. Do you know. Want to know why it seems like there's less to do in two months? Because it's two months away. That's why. If you look at my schedule this week, it's a whole hell of a lot busier than it is two months from now. But guess what? Two months from now, my schedule is going to look very similar to what it does this week. You always feel busier in the present moment than you do in the future. So if you pass off your dreams to the future, your future is going to look exactly the same as your current reality. You're still going to be busy in the future. And so why do I say this? Because the only time to take action is now. Stop acting like you're going to do it tomorrow. Stop acting like you're going to do it next week. Stop act like you're Going to do it next month. Your comfort zone is where your dreams go to die. Your brain is literally putting these things in front of you to make you think that you're busy, to make you think that you don't have enough time, to make you think that now's not the right time to take action, make you think that you're not good enough. Your subconscious is literally putting roadblocks in front of you. And if you listen to those roadblocks, your life is going to be exactly the same 10 years from today as it is right now. I've got. I've got a question for it. I want you to really think about this. How long have you been stuck in your current comfort zone? I ask this when I give speeches sometimes, and I say, hey, how long have you been stuck in your current comfort zone? Raise your hand if you want to tell me. It's always like, a year, five years, 10 years, 20 years, 17 years, 54 years. I'm like, you know, you're in it. How much longer are you going to stay there? Are you just going to stay in your comfort zone forever? You know you're in a comfort zone. So either you stay there, and if you do stay there, your life is going to be exactly the same a year from now, 10 years from now. As it is right now. You're just going to look older. So why don't you just take action now instead? What you have to do is you have to look for your discomfort. As a lot of people say, you need to seek discomfort. Why? Because when you're seeking things that you're not comfortable with, you're constantly pushing the boundaries of your comfort zone. Your goal is to expand your comfort zone as much as possible. And the beautiful thing about this is that until the day you die, your brain is constantly changing. They used to think that you were born with a certain amount of neurons and a certain amount of connections in your brain. Your brain was that way, and it was just going to be that way, and it was going to slowly get worse and worse throughout your life. But there's proof now to show that your brain goes through neuroplasticity, which is the constant rhythm part of changing all of the time. If you're pushing the boundaries and doing something different, if you're doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over again, your brain's not going to change because there's no reason to change. But if you're constantly doing something different, constantly seeking discovery, constantly doing something that you've never done and then pushing the boundaries. Your brain is constantly going to be changing. Your brain doesn't change when it does the same thing over and over again. Your brain only changes when it does something different. That's what I want you to realize. Your brain creates thoughts. Your thoughts create feelings. Your feelings create action or lack of action. And your action creates results. And your results create your life. You either create the exact same life that you've always had, or by pushing you out of your comfort zone, your life literally starts to change because you're doing things that you've never done before. If you, you know, as Einstein says, to do the same thing over and over again, expect different results is insanity. Stop doing the same things. You've got to stop negotiating with your mind. You've got to dominate the little voice inside of you. You've got to realize your fears aren't going to go away. Your insecurities aren't going to go away. What you have to do is take action against them and do the exact opposite of what they tell you to do. And then your life will be different. Hey, thanks so much for watching this video.
