Use 4 "Alter Egos" to BREAK FREE from Limitations

I want to show you a nice way to get out of the stuck mode, and if you're not feeling stuck, but you just want to perform at a higher level. The reason we get stuck was we're only using one part of us. We all have multiple personalities. Have you consider at least four archetypes that we could use within you? And I'm going to make this quite practical. So let me give an example. Four years ago, I got a phone call from Conor McGregor's team a year and a half or two years before lost, from this man named Khabib. If you know the ufc, but they had really bad blood. It wasn't just getting beat. They said things to each other. They attacked each other's families and personally, and they're both very intense men. He lost to this guy, and he was living on anger before, considered Mystic Mac. He could, like, read people's punches before they happen. And so he said, look, Connor's working his tail off. He's really committed to getting better. But we really want to tune up the psychological part to make it as strong as possible. And he believes in your work, so would you come work with him? So I did. I don't share everything I do with someone, but I can share this because it's general. One of the things I did was I started that he was only using part of himself because he was so angry. So I explained to him there are four archetypes, four ways of parts of yourself that you could tap into. First part of you is called the warrior. Think of the warrior as the part of you that will not be stopped, that will push through any limitation, a part of you that it doesn't matter how afraid you are. There's no courage if you're not scared. Courage is you're afraid, but you do it anyway. It's like if you're really scared. Courage is to muscle. You learn to push yourself through it. Well, the warrior will push themself. They'll find their courage. They'll push through. Even if they're afraid, they'll do it anyway. He's gonna fight this guy named Cowboy who had all kinds of records. I said, if you go in there, this warrior in you is gonna be a part of winning. I want you to discover where this warrior is, and we're gonna do some weird stuff. Think about, if this unstoppable part is in you, where does it live in your body? And I said, I don't want you to think intellectually. I just want you to touch the part of your body where it is. And he touched right up in here, the top right, this clavicle area. He goes right here. I know this sounds weird, but I want you to make the sound of the warrior. And he made this lousy old sound. I said, no, I mean fully embodied. And then he made this roar sound that shook the building. I said, that's it. Make the sound again. And made the roar sound. He's touching it. He's focusing on. He's making this sound. I said, what color is the warrior? For him, it was green. Right? So. And what's the sound of the warrior? Make the sound. What does the warrior say? So we're going to do this. But I got him to activate it. It's not like I have a warrior over there. I'm intellectually thinking there's some part of myself that can figure this out. No, it's embodying that part of yourself. And then once he's in that state, several times touching that part of his body, focusing on another color, making the sound of the warrior. Then I said to him, I want you from this warrior state to finish this sentence. The warrior says, connor. So in my case, it'd be the warrior says, tony. All you need to focus on. I want the warrior's response. So I got him again in state. Crank the energy making the sound, everything else, we did the warrior. There's another part of you called the magician. The magician is the part of you the warrior will fight through, push through, won't give up. It has this drive, this energy, this strength. It's scared it'll still make it happen. Has a totally different approach. The magician is like magic. It's like the magician knows it all can change in a second. It's all perception. You change what you focus on. You change instantly what you feel and what you experience. How many of you have ever been at a funeral and it's really depressing and sad? People are in tears, and then someone shares a story, a funny story about the deceased. And you go from crying to laughing in two seconds. And all that's changed is you changed your focus. So the magician knows that they find the easy, simple way. And I said, you used to be known as Mystic Matt. Cause he was known for almost, like being able to see what punch someone's gonna throw before they even started to move. That's how magical he was. That's why he became such a champion in multiple weight classes. And I said, let's have you find that part of you. And so he found where that part of him was and he touched his face like this, and then he started to grin from ear to ear and he started smiling like that. So now he's in a different state. He's focusing on it. He's got the color of the magician, the sound of the magician. And then I had him keep saying things and he got a whole different set of distinctions that calmed him down. I said, you've been overusing your warrior because you're so angry and your magician's been on the sidelines not participating in your fights. His eyes got really big like this, and he goes, you're so right. It's so different when I'm there. I need the warrior, but I need the magician, too. We get stuck when we lose one part of ourselves. Third part is the lover. That's the third archetype, the lover. We all know what the lover is. The lover is the part of you that loves life, loves work, loves people, loves everything. It's that joy, it's that flow. It's a completely different state than the warrior and the magician. And so he found. He touched his heart and he started breathing in his heart. And then he made the sound of the lover, which was a sweet little sound that you would never expect coming out of Conor McGregor. Okay, now that we did it multiple times, he was really in state. And then I had him just out loud, say, the lover says, all you need to remember, all you need to focus on, all you need to do is. He realized that the lover wasn't. He used to love fighting, he used to love being with his team. He used to love training. But he'd gotten so angry. The lover was put aside, the magician was put aside, and the warrior was worn out. If you've been through a lot of tough relationships that haven't worked out, you might feel your lover's worn out. We need to bring maybe your magician and your warrior back to get you back in the game. So then the last one is the sovereign, the king or the queen? The sovereign. And I said, this is the part of you that is wiser than your years. This is the part of you that maybe is connected to God or the universe, that has fought the wars and knows that even if you lose the battle, you can still win the war. This is the wise part that has history. A great king. A great queen. Now, you don't become a great king or queen by claiming you're a queen or king. By the way, I'm such a queen. I'm such a king. People do that on social media all the time. The way you become a king is you become a servant. Hero is the word most of us know to be a hero. Its Latin root is servo, which means servant. When you serve the most people, that's when you get to be the hero. But you got to be the servant, right? The sovereign is the servant. To all that you've ever experienced is incredibly wise. It's not fearful. Sovereign has vision beyond this moment. Even if the moment looks horrible, the sovereign knows we're going to get through it. So I got him find a sovereign. I got him to make the sounds, the sovereign, the color of the sovereign. And then what? Sovereign says, connor, all you need to focus on, you remember, all you need to do. So he got all of this coaching, and this coaching was coming from within him. And now all these parts are awake and alive. I had him go to bed that night with some instructions, and I came back the next day for the fight. And right before the fight, I went backstage with him for just 10 minutes. And all we did was reactivate all four of these parts. And if you saw the fight, it's a very famous fight against Cowboy. He's a really good competitor. And in the first few seconds, Cowboy makes a move, and it looks like he's going to take Hunter down. In the first 20 seconds, it really looked good. And all of a sudden, Conor, the magician in him, popped in is what he explained to me afterwards. And in a millisecond, his brain anticipated what was going to happen. And he found a way to push and use a headbutt and hit him and then a punch, and then a punch. The whole fight was done in less than 60 seconds. But what I was most proud of in Conor, he didn't sit there and just suck up the victory. He went over, immediately, picked Cowboy up, and he hugged the guy and he goes, man, you've got records I don't even have. And then Cowboy, his mom died years ago, so he had a grandma, and she was there. And Connor went up and hugged the grandma and said how much he respected him. I just thought it was such a beautiful moment. And then afterward, the press room, he talked about, he's got records I don't have. I have so much respect, respect for this man. And I'm grateful that I was able to find the opening and make it happen. And when I asked him afterwards, he goes, tony, it was unbelievable. My warrior was ready. I was loving being there, just being there. My sovereign was in charge, playing magician, just found that opening and boom, it was over in less than a minute. He lit up like a Christmas tree. All of those pieces are there. Later on, then another fight. He got back to drinking a little bit and broke a leg and got angry again and went back to the old pattern. So we can make ourselves successful or unsuccessful just by do we use all of ourselves or just part of ourselves?
