Default Suggestion

You've just picked up that old Tony Robbins book d you're all fired up about reading it and changing your ilfe. So you sit down and start devouring the pages voraciously.
Once you're done with the chapter on chainging state by changing physiology you get such a burst of energy from the exercises - you're immediately impressed by the results so you keep on reading. Is there more stuff this good in chapters to come?

Wrong.


You read the chapter on physiology (or just the exercises).
You do the exercises.
Then you spend the rest of your day telling others about it and making your own distinctions.

That's it. No more. Stop reading, start doing.
Apply EVERYTHING you learn immediately. Drop the book, stop reading, stop talking, hang up the phone, excuse yourself, go out on the street and try it.

Leave the room where you learned the new concept straight away and get to work.
Stop seeking completion by reading tips and chapters.

You've all heard that old idea "Read for an hour a day." Bull. Read for 10 minutes (or however long it takes for you to "get it") and spend 50 minutes applying it and playing with what you've now learned.

To get you started here's a couple of things you can read here on the forum and DO immediately.
  • Lits all your to-dos of today - then spend 1 minute working on each of them like a drug-crazed ostrich.
  • Find your pet and tell it about a problem. That's right - talk OUT LOUD to your pet.
  • Intend to meet a new and interesting person.
  • Find the last book you read but never applied. Highlight every idea in that book you could apply to your daily life.
  • Make a deal with yourself; for every idea you apply you get 10$ to spend on a new gadget or that dress you've been fogging up the shop windows over.
