you probably want to change your life that's probably why you clicked on this video

but for some reason you just can't do it you're tired of your physique

or how your mind has not been your friend lately

or how you have to stress over not being able to pay the bills each month

or how you're going to end up alone or just whatever it is

and so you finally gain the motivation to start going to the gym

or to start the business or to start talking to more people you know the drill

You just get motivated.

And then you fast forward two to four weeks

and you find yourself in the exact same position that you were in before.

And you don't even know how it happened.

You just ended up back in your old life and it looks the exact same.

You're not going to the gym anymore.

You stopped working on the business.

You just went back to your old habits.

And this probably isn't the first time.

You lock in, then you fall off, then you lock in again, then you fall off and 10 years go by.

For some people, their entire lives go by without breaking the habit of being your worst self.

It sucks.

It's like you never even tried to change because, well, frankly, you didn't.

You didn't actually try.

So what do you do?

Well, if you look at the top athletes or startup founders, visionaries, and strategists who seem to work 16 hours a day without breaking a sweat,

do you think that they struggle to do that?

Or is that what they want to do?

Is it actually hard for a successful person to go to bed at the right time, to eat the right foods,

to go to the gym every day to work on their business like it's a normal thing to do.

No, it's not hard for them at all.

It's actually extremely hard for them to do what the average person does.

It's honestly a living hell for them to sense that they're devolving into a mediocre life.

Why?

Because that's who they are.

So how do we replicate this in our own life?

How do we become someone where doing the things

we want to do to achieve our version of success is just as normal to us as brushing our teeth

if you brush your teeth well what you have to do is you have to become

so disgusted with where you are that you have no option

but to win now i've talked about this many times before

but i recently watched a video from khal ram

and he had this incredible analogy and it's

that rockets use 85 to 90 of their total mass as fuel during launch

and acceleration whereas coasting requires zero fuel once orbital

or escape velocity is reached so in other words what gets you started isn't what keeps you going.

And in other other words, you need a very potent source of fuel.

You need that extreme motivation to get started, but that's not what creates sustainable change.

You need to use that launch fuel to, of course, get started, get over the hump of getting started, but then create the habits,

routines, system so it just becomes who you are.

And then it doesn't take that motivation or that super potent fuel to maintain those results or reach success.

So it's counterintuitive as most of life's truths are, but if you want sustainable change in your life,

you have to brute force your way into it.

And that's only stage one, the launch fuel, the motivation, the pain, a win, a loss, or just a burst of willpower.

Something that launches you into an intense period of change.

And this can be anything.

I think the classic example is when a dude goes through a breakup

and then decides to start going to the gym

and then he becomes the jacked gym bro

or how a college student gets fed up with being broke

and just does everything in his power to make his side hustle

or his side business a success i have experienced both of those things

that's kind of why i love going to the gym

and i love health and fitness today

and it's why i have my businesses today that's not the fuel

that i run on right now but it's what got me started

and it worked there's also been many times in my life where i use something

that like to call tactical stress as an example i move into an apartment i can't afford

so i'm forced to make my business successful enough to afford it

or i go homeless as one example i wouldn't go homeless of course

but i believed i would have and

that provided me with the fuel to actually make it work

and i've done this multiple times

and i personally think it's the single greatest business growth hack

that there is or financial growth hack and of course that sounds extreme because it is.

It's not for everyone, but those who believe in themselves are nodding as they're watching this video.

Another example is that about five years ago, I would go to music festivals and I would drink

and I would party and I would stay out late

and I would do this every two months or so because that's how far the music festivals were spaced out.

And I would treat it as a form of a glitch in my over -optimized lifestyle because I was the very, I was the productivity dude.

I went to bed at a specific time

I woke up at a specific time I ate a very strict diet again I said health

and fitness is one of my values even though this contradicts it

but I did enjoy that throwing that little bit of chaos into my optimized routine

and it acted as a nice little shock to the system

because I would wake up the next morning

and I would feel absolutely terrible obviously

but what would happen is I would feel my business and my health progress slipping and those goals are values of mine.

They're really important to me.

They are a part of my identity.

And so it felt like a part of me was dying.

And then I would have this really potent fuel source for the next month.

two months to just keep going

and that's just what allowed me to continue to hit new highs in business

and so that leads to the second most potent fuel source

that i found which is quickly developing a strong disgust for the life

that i do not want to live it's like an anti -vision something

that i can hold in my mind and compare my current actions to

and i feel like that's something that almost everyone can take advantage of or use as their initial form of launch fuel

And usually you have to be pretty close to rock bottom in order to make this realization

because you reach this point where you're like, man, I've been stuck in this position for so long.

I don't like this part of my life, this part of my life, this part of my life.

100

And some people would tell you to just accept it

101

and retreat into your mind and learn how to reframe or change your perspective to view it in a more positive light.

102

And that's a great skill to develop.

103

But it also does not change the reality of your life.

104

You can have both.

105

And I would argue that both are better.

106

It's the way of water and the way of fire.

107

It's becoming a spiritual warrior, so to say.

108

So for the entirety of this week, what I want you to do is this.

109

I want you to observe society and see where most people end up.

110

It's really not pretty.

111

They usually end up broke, overweight, married to someone they grow to hate, and drowning in financial responsibilities that take advantage of their situation,

112

making it nearly impossible to get out.

113

That is the default end state of the average person's life.

114

So if thinking about that

115

and really contemplating it for a week doesn't create this fire in your belly to actually get up and pursue your goals,

116

then I don't know what will.

117

You're going to have to find your own source of launch fuel.

118

What it could be is my version of tactical stress.

119

You put yourself in a do -or -die situation.

120

You move into the apartment you can't afford, and then you're under this immense amount of financial stress,

121

and you can't do what you've been currently doing for the entirety of your life in order to solve

122

that problem because it's not providing you with the financial security that you need.

123

So you need to do something different.

124

You need to be creative.

125

You need to solve problems.

126

And you probably won't see those opportunities if you're just operating from your current perspective.

127

So you need this vast change in everything.

128

So now we have the launch fuel.

129

How do we actually turn it into something sustainable.

130

So it's just easy.

131

This discipline is easy.

132

And the idea here is that you aren't disciplined because you aren't the person who doesn't view it as discipline.

133

That sounds confusing.

134

You'll understand it in a second, but I want to start with this quote from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

135

At this point in our history, it should be possible for an individual to build a self

136

that is not simply the outcome of biological drives and cultural habits, but a conscious personal creation in other words

137

if you do not create your own life using this process it will be created for you

138

if you don't have a routine you will be assigned one

139

if you don't have a goal you will be assigned one

140

if you don't have a vision you will be assigned one

141

so on and so forth you have to create yourself

142

and your life and now i'm begging you to understand this concept

143

that discipline is a feature of identity discipline is a part of who you are

144

because do you think that Elon Musk lies around in bed when he wakes up dreading the day ahead?

145

Do you think he hits snooze five times dreaming of not having to go to work?

146

Do you think Arnold Schwarzenegger had to trick himself into eating healthy and training twice a day?

147

Do you think that high performers of this caliber consider it hard, in your sense of the word,

148

to do hard things, or do they love it?

149

It's just what they do.

150

It's automatic.

151

Now personally, if I am laser focused on a goal, That's really what matters here.

152

Like I'm focused on cutting weight while hitting my macro targets and getting my lifts in.

153

And that's all that matters to me, which is right now in my life.

154

A cheat meal at McDonald's just doesn't sound appetizing at all.

155

It sounds disgusting.

156

And if I wasn't laser focused on this goal, if I was laser focused on another one, so my health and fitness goals took a backseat,

157

they're still important to me, but not as important.

158

Then the idea of mcdonald's would kind of shift along with

159

that depending on the situation if it's been a year since i've had mcdonald's

160

and it's a one -time thing then yeah i would consider it at least

161

but right now at this point in my life

162

when laser focused on a goal it's just disgusting

163

it's not even an option

164

you would have to pry me from my chair throw me in the car tie me up

165

and drive me to a remote location in order to get

166

me to sniff a double quarter pounder with cheese in other words, it would take an immense amount of discipline for me to eat mediocre food.

167

And that sounds pretentious.

168

I'm aware of that.

169

I'm aware of how it sounds.

170

But it's going to be far easier for me to drop 10 to 20 to 30 pounds.

171

I don't need to drop 30 pounds, 10 to 20 pounds than it is for the person who just can't stop thinking of the next time

172

that they get to drown in Greece.

173

They're on their diet, but that's not who they are.

174

That's not who they even want to be because their mind isn't aligned with that.

175

They can't wait until they can go back to their old self.

176

And eventually they snap and they can't stick to the goal.

177

And some people just can't fathom this.

178

It just doesn't click for them.

179

And so what they'll say to you is, oh, you just need to lighten up.

180

You need to have fun.

181

You need to live a little bit as a defense mechanism for protecting their identity.

182

because what you're doing is exposing their lack of values for something good and positive in their life.

183

But what they do not understand is

184

that I am having more fun than I would be

185

if I were going with you to spend my entire daily

186

caloric allowance in 15 minutes just to go into a food coma and lay around for the rest of the day.

187

That doesn't sound fun.

188

The same thing goes for when I'm super focused on business.

189

Yeah, sure, I'm at my desk for way too long and my health is dwindling at that point,

190

but your version of fun is not my version of fun at that point in time.

191

Because it is one of the greatest feelings in the world to be in pursuit of your potential,

192

with little to no gap between who you are and who you want to be.

193

You live in the flow state of video game,

194

taking on a string of challenging quests you choose to accept and being rewarded amply for doing so.

195

Maybe not in the form of money, but insight, experience, and direct feedback from reality.

196

But the thing is, is that identity change is just so abstract.

197

You can't see your identity.

198

It's not like business where you know exactly what you're doing wrong because you have reality as feedback.

199

In other words, if you aren't making money or you aren't increasing revenue or you aren't moving toward your business goals,

200

then you're doing something wrong and you need to experiment and you need to try new things until you move the needle.

201

And then you do more of that thing.

202

If you aren't making any money from your business, then reality is telling you that you're doing something wrong.

203

And if you are making money, a certain amount of money,

204

then reality is telling you that you're exactly where you should be based on the actions that you're doing.

205

How do we take the dirty launch fuel and turn it into a sustainable system that eventually just becomes who I am?

206

So I want you to give me a few minutes and I'll show you how to become someone entirely new.

207

And a James Clear quote comes to mind for this.

208

You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results.

209

Now you are the statistical sum of what you repeatedly do.

210

And what you do is more than the physical decisions you make.

211

You or your self -image or your identity is the accumulated result of everything that flows through you in both directions, input and output.

212

Input equals everything you're exposed to.

213

Every book you read, every post you glance at for a split second, every person you call a friend,

214

every belief your parents and teachers installed before you even had a chance to consent, the news you read to stay informed,

215

the conversations you overhear, the people whose lives you watch from a distance.

216

And output equals everything you produce in the world, your decisions, actions, and work.

217

It's what you do when no one is watching and what you do when everyone is.

218

So that is literally the entire equation.

219

Input shapes the mind that perceives situations and makes decisions.

220

Output shapes the life that presents the next input.

221

It compounds.

222

It's a feedback loop.

223

So to change who we are, we have to change this flow of information.

224

Now for changing your input, the rule is very simple.

225

Curate and protect everything your mind is exposed to on a daily basis.

226

You must immerse yourself in stimuli that matches the person you want to become and starves the person you used to be.

227

The old you must die.

228

Now for the remainder of this video, some of you may watch it and just think, oh, that's basic or oh, I already knew that.

229

But if you actually knew it.

230

You wouldn't be in this situation, would you?

231

Writing it off as basic is preventing you from seeing how simple all of this is.

232

You are not special

233

and you do not need to do what everyone else does in trying to find some new tactic

234

or new method or novel ways of doing things to change your life.

235

You just need to change it.

236

You need to do what's been proven to work for the entirety of human existence.

237

So first, you choose your information diet because most people are intellectually obese.

238

Unfollow, mute, and unsubscribe from anything that lowers your standards or wastes your attention.

239

Follow and read the people and ideas that raise it.

240

Your social timeline is an environment just like any other.

241

You live in it, and it influences you.

242

On that idea, you have to understand that our phones are so new.

243

It's not something our brains are wired for.

244

In the past, our physical environment is really all that we had

245

and what did we do

246

when there was a threat we built shelter we built tools we did the things

247

that protected us from the threat

248

and yet you don't have this you don't have this house

249

that protects you you haven't set up the environment so

250

that it actually contributes to your success now what i personally like to do for this is just curate

251

and read information from idea dense sources so i have the people

252

that i like to follow and what i do is i'll save their sub stack articles

253

or books pdfs or even youtube videos to eden

254

which is a second brain and a place to capture ideas

255

and import all your highlights and there is a reader mode in there

256

so on my phone on the mobile app i'll open the reader mode

257

and then i can read it from there from my reading list

258

and then i can save my highlights in there

259

and since i'm a content creator i can then ask the ai chat in eden to pull highlights

260

and ideas as i'm writing and or give me content ideas

261

there's also the discover feed which many users have said

262

that they actually scroll on instead of social media now

263

which just shows top performing ideas according to your filters

264

which you can save to swipe file boards

265

or chat with to reverse engineer and

266

if you're a content creator you understand the immense benefit of

267

that and we just introduced the store feature

268

so you can sell digital products

269

and your own ai products you sell your own knowledge in eden

270

so if you have multiple interests or you plan on ever becoming a creator

271

or you are a creator and you don't want to go into software or e -commerce or other things, you want to sell your knowledge,

272

then Eden is the place to do so.

273

There's actually a full video on the Eden channel

274

that goes over the store and how to use it and a few ideas that you can use for your first products.

275

So try out Eden.

276

Now the second thing to do is to choose the people you surround yourself with because their values, fears, and assumptions about what's normal,

277

impossible, leak into you even

278

if you think they don't this is the most difficult part

279

you can try to bring your friends along with you

280

but it is extremely difficult to help people who don't want to be helped

281

now the third thing to do is interrogate your mind for beliefs

282

that do not serve you

283

because most of your beliefs about money what you deserve in this life

284

and what's possible to achieve were determined before you could even understand the language you speak

285

so if you haven't become aware of these beliefs you don't understand what i'm saying

286

and beliefs don't come to mind that you've already shed then it's likely

287

that they haven't been examined and they haven't been changed.

288

And as someone said, some famous person, I'm going to sound stupid for not knowing who said this.

289

Oh, it's Carl Jung.

290

I'm pretty sure the examined life is not worth living.

291

Or is that like Aristotle?

292

I don't, I don't know.

293

Sorry.

294

Or actually it's the unexamined life is not worth living.

295

It's probably something completely different.

296

I'm an idiot.

297

Now, the fourth thing to do is exchange passive for active consumption, because the difference between reading 10 posts fast and one book slowly is drastic.

298

I bet you can't even tell me about two of the social posts you read yesterday.

299

But a life -changing YouTube video, podcast, book chapter, or substack article

300

that is created with care by someone who is passionate about what they do is something

301

that sticks with you and influences you for the better.

302

So that's the input part, and that's just a daily practice.

303

That's a constant thing.

304

You can't really plan that.

305

Yeah, you can create a reading ritual and implement the nice habits,

306

and you should, but it's really just this constant awareness of what you're putting into your mind

307

that you need to realize when you're not in

308

that state of awareness and bring yourself back into it over and over again until it's just what you do.

309

So now we need to make it so easy to succeed.

310

You'd look stupid if you fail.

311

Now, I forgot to mention something important.

312

This is the second stage of change.

313

The first stage is the launch fuel that's getting yourself off the ground.

314

That's like 80 % of it, because frankly, without that launch fuel, you're probably not going to change your inputs because it's just an ingrained habit.

315

You're going to pick up your phone and you're going to start scrolling

316

and then you're going to get lost in it

317

because there isn't this just potent little voice in the back of your head telling you to do better.

318

And so without that, you won't be able to break through the atmosphere into orbit

319

and then coast the rest of the way toward your goal, let's say the moon.

320

And so once you're in orbit, how you coast and what you need to set up before you get into orbit is a sustainable system.

321

Now your outputs or decisions and actions occur as a four -part feedback loop.

322

It goes environment, signal, behavior, payoff.

323

And this is essentially the habit loop from B .F.

324

Skinner's operant conditioning, which went on to be popularized by Charles Duhigg in The Power of Habit

325

and James Clear in Atomic Habits.

326

So it's cue, response, reward.

327

That's just textbook behavioral psychology and it works.

328

So the first step is making the desired output the path of least resistance and the undesired output incredibly inconvenient.

329

The second is creating a trigger or signal that starts the behavior that leads to the desired output, preferably on a daily basis.

330

The third is reducing success to a minimum recognizable version of the output.

331

So not a great workout, but just stepping into the gym.

332

And the fourth is the reward, which is something enjoyable delivered right after the behavior every single time until the behavior is the reward itself.

333

So that's the feedback loop, and now I just want to go over two examples so we can ground it and understand it.

334

And the first, of course, is just going to the gym.

335

I love going to the gym.

336

It's a great thing to do.

337

I think more people should do it.

338

Of course, you get to look good.

339

You get to look jacked.

340

But if you build muscle now through resistance training, then in your older years, when you get older, you're not going to be as frail.

341

You're not going to need a cane or a walker so early.

342

You're going to be able to be more active.

343

It's just a good thing to do, and it's very enjoyable.

344

And if you don't create that enjoyment or understand that enjoyment,

345

then it's just going to be a pain to do for the rest of your life.

346

So here's what we do for going to the gym.

347

First, you curate your inputs.

348

So you follow two to three sources of inspiration and education.

349

So your feed or social media reminds you of your goal as you make this change.

350

What I like to do right now as I'm cutting is I just find someone

351

that I resonate with and I just listen to them on YouTube on my walks

352

and they give me little tips and tricks that I can try.

353

And it just keeps me in the mindset because I'm taking in that input.

354

And it makes me feel like I'm doing it with that person.

355

And of course, I learn new things.

356

And in order to do this, you kind of have to unfollow or just not watch

357

or listen or read fitness content that sells insecurity and the acceptance of mediocrity.

358

Then surround yourself with at least one person who already trains because their normal becomes your normal.

359

Then examine the beliefs installed in you about your body and what you're capable of.

360

Then after that, you need to engineer your outputs, so your environment.

361

You set your clothes out the night before, remove all junk food from your cabinets,

362

fill it with foods that allow you to hit your caloric intake and macro targets and micronutrients, and study the exercises you're doing in tomorrow's workout

363

so you have clarity and maybe a bit of excitement to try them out.

364

The next thing is signal, so go at the same time to the gym every day.

365

For me, that time is around to 11 a .m.

366

And if you're just starting, set an alarm for that time and make the alarm a distinct tone that represents going to the gym.

367

The next thing is behavior.

368

So show up and only promise yourself that you'll do the minimum.

369

One hard set.

370

Chances are you'll want to keep going since you're already there.

371

The next thing is reward.

372

So stop at the local smoothie place or even a gas station to get a protein shake.

373

And this was my reward when I first started because the protein shakes, frankly, are pretty good.

374

And of course, you're going to get the purists who say, oh, you don't need the protein powders, you don't need the artificial sweeteners,

375

but compare it to what the person was doing before.

376

Do you really expect someone to just go onto a fully clean diet after not having one at all?

377

The end state of what you are pursuing outweighs any minor damage that is done.

378

Now the second example or the second goal is just turning your interests

379

or your writing or your creativity into a business because that's what a lot of my audience wants to do.

380

So for your inputs, follow the creators you want to model and the thinkers who sharpen your ideas.

381

Starve yourself of everything else.

382

Let your algorithm become a source of inspiration.

383

Read books and long -form content from people who have achieved what you want.

384

They are your mentors.

385

Create a new digital friend group of people who are doing the same thing.

You could probably meet them just in the comments of this video.

387

I'm serious.

388

There are so many people that comment who are doing things similar

389

or trying to grow online or have very distinct interests that you could just reply to and be like, hey, what's your Instagram?

390

What's your Twitter?

391

And then DM them there.

392

And you never know where that's going to go.

393

I met Joey, my business partner, co -founder of Eden, six or seven years ago when we started on Twitter at around like 300 followers.

394

And now he lives across the street from me.

395

And we have been building businesses together for three years

396

and we've actually been building a lot of things together for way longer than

397

that it's just crazy and you're not going to find

398

that type of person in your everyday routine especially

399

if you don't even talk to people right now and then after

400

that examine your beliefs about money whether you believe it's difficult to make

401

and whether wealth generation is luck or skill

402

and then for your environment add your idea capture app as a shortcut on your phone have your writing

403

or scheduling app open so articles posts

404

and newsletters write themselves in other words eden

405

you capture ideas to your library you write inside of documents on boards

406

and then you schedule content to go out on all social platforms

407

and then batch your highest priority highest leverage

408

and most difficult tasks in the morning

409

and then signal this can be your first coffee in the morning at your desk

410

or a specific song to start off the writing session

411

or something like that but never only relying on inspiration as a signal to create

412

and then behavior

413

so post the minimum amount of content necessary one post a day one newsletter a week with the minimum quality

414

you just need it to go out you don't need it to be perfect

415

or brilliant and then the reward

416

and for me i just love going on walks i know that's not really a reward

417

but i like being outside

418

so once i finish my two to three main priorities in the morning then i'll go out on a walk

419

and i look forward to that and it's something

420

that i do every day for you it could be something completely different

421

it could be eating breakfast i still do

422

that as well i don't eat in the morning until i get my work done

423

and go on my walk and then i eat and

424

so i think you get the point you launch the rocket you become heavily inspired

425

or heavily disgusted with where your life is whichever fuel you thrive on neither is bad

426

when channeled towards something meaningful do not waste

427

that beautifully potent fuel use it to create the system make the behavior automatic

428

and eventually it will become just what i do

429

and speaking of launch fuel check this out this is finally almost ready sonder dot shop for the waitlist.

430

I know many of you have been waiting for this.

431

It's a nootropic, a very potent nootropic, not any of that, oh, calm feeling nootropic.

432

It's you sit down and you want to work.

433

And we have a great team.

434

We have a genius level biochemist and formulator for other companies on the team.

435

So the formula inside of this is incredibly efficacious.

436

And this isn't your average nootropic.

437

You will find that out when you try it.

438

But we're getting ready for launch.

439

So join the waitlist again, and sonder .shop.

440

And I'm sure I'll have a video that goes over the entire formulation, the science, all of that stuff, because pretty freaking good.

441

I'm not the type of person who would just throw this random crappy nootropic together and try to sell it to you.

442

I like to think that I have high standards for the things that I promote.

443

You haven't seen any sponsorships or brand deals on this channel.

444

So that's it.

445

That's how you become disgustingly self -disciplined.

446

You take Sonder, you use Eden,

447

you use the new store feature to sell your knowledge as an AI product or a course or a digital download,

448

and you live a sovereign lifestyle.

449

But no, in all seriousness, you don't need any of those things unless they appealed to you,

450

but you create the launch fuel and then you create the sustainable system.

451

So with that, I'll see you in the next video.

452

Like, subscribe while you're here.

453

Bye.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
