1
Today we have eight mindset shifts that you need to adopt if you want to become the best version of yourself.
2
And these are not tactical strategies
3
because what the best version of you looks like might be a different roadmap than for someone else.
4
But what we're going to talk about instead is the mindset
5
that you need to have and the way that you need to think differently.
6
So these are things that will apply pretty much to anyone if you're trying to become more successful, you're trying to become the best version of yourself,
7
maybe a year from now you want to look back and you want to become unrecognizable, starting with radical ownership.
8
It may not be your fault, but it absolutely is your responsibility for everything in life.
9
And that's a really hard thing for a lot of people to do
10
because you kind of want to protect your ego
11
or obviously it's much easier to point the blame at everything and everyone but your own set of actions.
12
But when you get really honest with yourself and you say, okay, this thing happened to me, this really hard thing happened.
13
I went through a hard season of life.
14
I can't necessarily control that, but I can control how I respond to it.
15
Yeah.
16
Cause it's in a sense, it's like dropping that, like that victim, you know, mentality around that stuff and just being like, okay, cool.
17
This happened.
18
Like Audrey said, regardless if it is or isn't your fault, it's your responsibility to take action, to get a different outcome.
19
And if you always look at those circumstances, like all these things are happening to me, ah, crap, this happened to me again,
20
versus like just shifting that lens and be like, okay, cool, that happened.
21
It's my responsibility.
22
What can I learn from it?
23
Regardless if like I directly like had something in this,
24
that that happened, I can still take ownership over the next decision I make to create a different outcome around that.
25
Yeah.
26
I think there's like this common notion for some people
27
that they believe people who are successful are successful
28
because they've had less bad things happen to them or maybe they've had it significantly easier.
29
But the thing is, first one, what does believing that actually do for you?
30
Does it actually help you?
31
I don't think so.
32
But if instead you look at people that are successful and you say, you know what, they've probably had some pretty bad things happen to them as well and they've experienced hard seasons,
33
but maybe instead they just chose to do good with it.
34
And so successful people aren't successful because they've had less bad things happen to them.
35
They're successful in spite of that.
36
They're successful because what they choose to do with the bad things that have happened and they turn it into learning lessons.
37
They let it be something that they can grow from and evolve from.
38
Absolutely.
39
The next thing is accept that what you are not changing, you are choosing.
40
This is so difficult for a lot of people to sit with.
41
And again, you can go into the victim mindset and you can say, well, again, this thing happened to me and I didn't choose that.
42
Okay, sure, but you are still choosing how you respond to it.
43
So it kind of goes hand in hand with taking radical ownership.
44
But if you currently don't like the outcomes in your life, then look back at your choices and say, you know what, maybe I'm here because of my actions.
45
Right.
46
Right.
47
It's like being in a relationship that isn't just good for you, right?
48
It's like, oh my God, my boyfriend did this again.
49
He keeps forgetting this.
50
He doesn't treat me the right way.
51
And it's like, if you're not choosing to either correct
52
that behavior or stand up and say something about it or get out of that relationship, you are choosing to just live inside of those circumstances.
53
So very easy example to look at there.
54
It's like, and then you look at where am I doing that in other areas of my life?
55
Or maybe I'm just like complaining about something that's happening that I don't like, but I'm not actually putting in the work or having the hard conversation
56
or doing the hard thing to actually start to shift that narrative and get the outcome that I want.
57
Yeah.
58
And look, there's nothing wrong with venting from time to time, but you never want to be around someone who is constantly complaining about the same things over and over,
59
but they're doing nothing different to change their circumstances.
60
The third thing is daily deposits.
61
I know in the self-improvement world, everyone talks about, look at where you want to be a year from now.
62
Look at where you want to be five years from now.
63
And yes, I think it's great to have a general idea of what those big goals are
64
and who you want to become because then you can reverse engineer it.
65
But the problem is sometimes I think
66
that it feels like such a big mountain to climb
67
that people avoid taking the first step because there's a million steps
68
that you need to take between now and where you want to be a year from now.
69
But just focus on the only thing that you can control, which is the day in front of you.
70
And so at the end of every day, if you can say, today I got better.
71
Today I got even 1% better.
72
And even if it was a day that didn't go my way, did I show up in a way that was in alignment with who I want to become?
73
If you can say that at the end of the day, then you can look back a year from now and know
74
that you got better and that you did everything in your power to become unrecognizable and reach your goals.
75
Exactly.
76
And those daily deposits, just from like a simple fitness sense, like, did you get your step goal in today?
77
Right?
78
Did you eat the quality meals you said you were going to eat?
79
Did you get the training session in today if you had it on your schedule and on your calendar?
80
It's like, did you do those little things?
81
Because it's good to have the year-long goal of having this lean, toned, amazing body.
82
But did you just take that one step today, the simple step?
83
It's the little thing.
84
And if you can make those deposits, it just compounds.
85
Yeah, they compound over time.
86
And I think the biggest thing too is if you didn't do it that day, don't shame yourself, don't spiral,
87
don't allow that to be the thing that completely sets you back and gets you off track.
88
Let it be a learning lesson.
89
Again, at the end of the day, OK, I didn't hit my macros today.
90
Why didn't you hit your macros?
91
How can I show up differently tomorrow to make sure
92
that I actually do find the big pawns
93
if you right now have a vision that is larger than any one
94
that you know in your life sometimes that vision you might question
95
if it's too big if it's unrealistic but
96
if you get into the big pawns where you are the small fish where your vision is step one and their vision,
97
it's like, this is so achievable, right?
98
You need to be around people who make your goals almost feel small, not in a way that like belittles your goals, but in a way that makes it seem like,
99
oh, of course I can accomplish that.
100
Because if they did, and you realize this is something that we talk about all the time, you know, sometimes you see people that have done really big things in life and you assume that like,
101
maybe they have something that I don't have, right and it feels not achievable but then once you get around those people you realize that
102
they're not all that different and like in the best way possible they're not necessarily special
103
you know what i mean and
104
so every time we've gotten into a bigger room where we
105
once looked up to those people maybe we still do right
106
respect the hell out of them um you really start to see
107
that it's just a few different set of actions that they took maybe differently that you can also take
108
to get to where they are as well in your own way.
109
Because it pulls you forward and it lights a fire underneath you
110
because the inverse effect happens when you're around those ponds or in those ponds where people aren't as ambitious.
111
Or maybe your ambition matches the same ambition of everybody else, but it's not ideally where you want to be,
112
but you're still not being called or pushed to do more because you feel like I'm kind of capped out.
113
Everyone around me, we're all doing the same.
114
It's kind of okay here.
115
but in the back of your mind you're like but I do want that and soon as you enter into these
116
bigger ponds bigger rooms better environments of individuals that are one two three ten steps ahead
117
it just immediately like calls you to be like okay cool now it's like now you can feel the pull
118
because every time you get into those bigger ponds you feel
119
like kind of the pull up towards the top of the room right the top of the environment
120
and you want to have that because
121
you know not to say that it's like a motivating factor
122
but like it kind of plays into it a little bit
123
where it's like I want to actually step it up
124
because I'm seeing other people that are doing better and like
125
if there's a little bit of competitiveness in you and all
126
that stuff that's good it's good stuff to actually you know propel you forward
127
because it's easy to get complacent when you're in the room
128
that is all acting complacent yeah I think there's a good level of healthy competition
129
that you want and a good level of pressure that will help to drive you forward.
130
But again, it makes me think of how when there is one moldy piece of fruit in the little container, then the rest of the fruit starts to mold.
131
It's about who you are around.
132
And so if right now you're really like questioning things or especially if things feel really,
133
really hard and you're not around people that are also doing the really, really hard thing, it can feel very lonely as well.
134
And maybe you start to think like, oh, it's just too hard or like, oh, maybe I shouldn't be doing this thing.
135
And you wanna just like kind of coast and be okay with good enough because everyone else is okay with good enough.
136
But you wanna be around people that are constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
137
Yeah, because both things are contagious.
138
It'll be contagious for that, like the moldy fruit example, it's contagious for the rest of the pack to spoil, right?
139
Same thing if you're around people that aren't as ambitious, it's contagious in that direction as it's contagious in the other direction.
140
Yeah.
141
And you'll have different groups in your life.
142
There's never going to be one friend group that is going to fulfill all of your needs, I found.
143
Or one, let's say, like coaching cohort or mastermind that is going to fulfill all of your needs.
144
That's why we have different mentorships that's why we have different
145
you know groups of friends like some friends they've known you from the start
146
and like you guys have grown in different directions
147
and you still love and value their friendship
148
but maybe they're not necessarily there to push and
149
and really help you evolve and that's okay like you need those people in your life
150
but if you don't have the people in your life
151
that do challenge you and do push you to grow then you need to find
152
that big pond doing the hard things consistently, nothing will boost your confidence more than this.
153
When you do something that you said you would, the thing that is inconvenient, the thing that is just like so grueling and daunting,
154
when you consistently do those things, you start taking your own word more seriously.
155
And one thing that I always say is like, if you want to be taken more seriously, you have to start taking yourself more seriously because people will start to respect you
156
only to the level that you really respect yourself and the way that you show up for yourself.
157
So the more that you consistently do those things, the more that you will build more self-trust because you have stacked the evidence that your word actually means something.
158
Completing a big goal that two to three years ago seemed very steep or near impossible.
159
There's something called the misogi.
160
Misogi, yes.
161
It's a Japanese term of essentially completing something that is like it's a year goal, right?
162
But it's ambitious.
163
Like a misogi would be a marathon for some people.
164
For others, it's an Ironman.
165
For others, it's like jumping into the piano and then learning some very melodic song by the end of the year.
166
And it's like it's something that you're training for, you're putting in time for each and every single day.
167
Like that's a really big goal.
168
And I think what that does for you doing something of
169
that stature is it really just expands your self-belief around a lot of stuff.
170
Because for Audrey and I, I'd look back, you know, two, three, six years ago, it's hard to imagine, you know, being in the position we are now,
171
like at that point in time, right?
172
You can think about it, you can set the goal, but until you actually start to put forth the efforts, the daily deposits, and then you get there and then boom,
173
it opens the door, opens a new world of possibility.
174
Yeah, and I think people always say you need to have delusional self-belief.
175
Like you need to believe in yourself so much, but if your track record is that you never follow through with things, it's really hard to believe in yourself and no amount of affirmations is gonna fix that.
176
So you really have to start, and sometimes it's just a matter of starting small, right?
177
Like you said that you were going to go to the gym today
178
and you go to the gym today and then you stack
179
that and you stack it and then you keep setting larger goals.
180
But once you accomplish one big goal, like for me, what really opened up the door was competing.
181
And that's one of the reasons why I still have such a love for bodybuilding, because I was forced to evolve so much in there.
182
And it required so much of me for nine months that I was competing or prepping, sorry, for the nine months of my competition prep.
183
There was no slacking off.
184
There was no half assing it.
185
At the end of the day, I was going to be stepping on stage.
186
And the package that I brought to the stage was the compound effect of the way
187
that I showed up every single day.
188
And so accomplishing that goal of I said I was going to compete
189
and I competed and it took a lot out of me, created a level of self-belief that opened up the door of possibilities of what else can I accomplish in my life?
190
And I believed that I could because I did something really, really hard that maybe in the beginning I questioned whether I could do it.
191
And there were absolutely times that I wanted to give up, but I didn't.
192
And so when you go into another big goal that you set after accomplishing another one, you know that there's going to be challenges.
193
You expect the unexpected.
194
And because of that, you're prepared.
195
Your mindset is prepared.
196
And so if you just set the big goal and then you start setting other big goals, next thing you know, the goals
197
that you're setting two years from now isn't even something
198
that you could have comprehended or wrapped your mind around a few years ago.
199
So you have to follow through with at least one big goal, even if it's a Masogi, even if it's just one a year, because the doors will start opening,
200
the possibilities will start opening and you'll have this mindset of everything is figureoutable.
201
Like I may not trust that it's going to work out in my favor, but I do trust that I am going to do everything in my power to make it work.
202
Like sometimes you don't know whether it's going to work or not, but you know that you're going to do the work.
203
And if you at least have the faith in that and you have the confidence in yourself, then you can kind of trust that like it's going to work out.
204
I love it.
205
You need the evidence.
206
I love it.
207
And into our next one is saying no more often and decreasing your tolerance with yourself.
208
So, you know, we've experienced a lot of this, you know, more recently in the last year, two years, as like things begin to expand,
209
you have to, you have to be able to
210
discern between what things I might've been able to get away with a couple of years ago
211
when I had less responsibilities or I was less ambitious or I didn't have as much going on as comparative to now.
212
And that's been something we've been kind of stepping through, but we realize it's such an important aspect, right?
213
Not to say that like you need to cut everything out and eliminate all this stuff,
214
but you really have to wind down on things that are deterring you from getting where you want to get to.
215
And also at the same time is like, you know, do I have a tolerance for, you know, having just, I don't know,
216
maybe mediocre people around me that aren't super ambitious
217
or don't really respect my work or like
218
that I want to work really hard or
219
that I want to do all these things and that I want to put in more effort.
220
So it's really kind of navigating and understanding that.
221
And I think everyone has to go through that on their own, but I think it's important to know early on so you can kind of get the feeling when it comes around.
222
Yeah.
223
Because it's almost like if you're not doing it at certain stages, you can feel that like that disappointment in yourself that you'll get,
224
the guilt that you feel like should have like not done
225
that thing or why have I been dragging this out for three months?
226
I should have, you know, made this decision months ago to like put myself in a better position
227
because I've been like dealing with this one thing that could have been avoided.
228
So it's really those things.
229
It's hard to, you know, put it on one thing because everybody's going to have different circumstances for what they're experiencing.
230
But just knowing that having to say no, decreasing your tolerance for the BS going on around you is what you really have to start to figure out.
231
Because if you don't, that's kind of one of the bigger things
232
that could keep you spinning your wheels for a heck of a lot longer than you probably would want to.
233
And I would say it's probably one of the hardest ones.
234
This is still something that we struggle with.
235
These other things, as I'm reading them out loud, I'm like, yeah, we kind of have it down pat.
236
But it's also one of those things that you don't just check the box and now you're done.
237
It's a constant evolution because there's a new devil at every level, right?
238
And so when you get to that next version of yourself with larger goals and bigger ambitions, you'll realize that there's a new set of sacrifices that exists there.
239
And there was a time where we could get away with going to a three-day music festival, stepping away from our team and messages and all the things.
240
And it was okay.
241
We would just get back on Monday and we'd get back right to it.
242
Now, us going to a three-day music festival where we're staying up until the sun comes up
243
and we're not feeling our best coming back, we almost can't really sacrifice that these days.
244
And that's okay, right?
245
That's okay because the outcome that we want is more important to us
246
and more of a priority than that three-day music festival.
247
Now, obviously, we still prioritize fun and travel, but it just looks different these days.
248
Like, there's not necessarily travel without work, right?
249
Or again, if, like, you're working towards improving your body composition, you might have to have a season where you are stricter with yourself.
250
And that's kind of all of what this one comes back to, is, like, you have to be strict with yourself, right?
251
And if you are not only tolerating mediocrity from yourself, but also from your environment, the people around you, if you manage a team, the people on your team,
252
then like nothing changes if nothing changes.
253
And so you kind of have to like, one of the ways to put this actually, if you were, if an audience was watching a movie of your life,
254
what would they be screaming at you?
255
And whatever first comes to mind is probably the thing
256
that needs your attention the most and the thing that needs to be changed, right?
257
Maybe for you, it's like, get off your damn phone.
258
Maybe you're spending too much time doom scrolling and you could be spending
259
that time working towards something that you want to accomplish.
260
So there's things in your life that immediately you can probably think of.
261
Like even for us, there's things in my life where immediately I'm like, you know, we're getting to a point where I do think that that thing is potentially holding me back.
262
For example, I'll be vulnerable.
263
There's times where like we go out to a dinner
264
and I had maybe like two cocktails and then I wake up the next morning and I don't feel so great.
265
And I'm like, that wasn't even worth it.
266
But I sometimes still consistently do it.
267
Right.
268
And then at some point you just get to a point where like you have to stop tolerating
269
that from yourself and you have to get stricter with yourself or otherwise, again, nothing is going to change.
270
And that goes hand in hand with having seasons of going all in.
271
like you have seasons where you're kind of maintaining
272
and I think those seasons are also important those are seasons
273
where maybe your focus is shifted like you know maybe you you are a new mom right
274
and so that season is you are giving your all to like postpartum
275
and navigating the challenges that come with that
276
but also you know being as present as possible with your
277
newborn like that's a different season than maybe what it was two years ago
278
but when you know you are working towards something really big, you can't just dip a toe in.
279
You do have to go all in and there's going to be a form of restriction that comes with that.
280
I think that restriction gets a really bad rep.
281
It does.
282
Yeah.
283
Because I mean, if you don't have these, it's like if your results up into this point haven't been to the point that you want, right?
284
If you're really trying to get this outcome, you have to think like you've probably been half in, half out. And
285
that got you to a certain point where maybe you have
286
a little bit of some balance on both sides of the spectrum
287
and you're able to do some of this and do some of that.
288
But like most of the time, if you're really wanting to be ambitious about getting to certain heights
289
and certain places where only a select few of people really get to from a percentage standpoint, it's going to require you to do more that's required
290
and cut out some of that excess in order to become that elite version of yourself.
291
And it kind of takes going through that too, to kind of see it.
292
And then once you, once it's really clear, it's like, okay, you're going to be at a crossroads and you're going to have a choice of, you know, do I really,
293
you know, commit to the Indian here and, you know, really dig in, sink my teeth all the way in and just fricking go for it.
294
Or do I continue to, to live in the la la land of like good enough.
295
Yeah.
296
Right.
297
So it's like, if you really want to, you know, have the really ambitious goal and do it to the, to the max, do it to the,
298
the 10th degree, you have to be willing to say, okay, let's fricking lock in here.
299
Let's really go all the way and let's push all this stuff to the wayside
300
because this is more important to me than kind of having some of that.
301
Yeah.
302
And we've talked about this before, But like if you want what most people don't have, you have to be willing to do what most people aren't willing to do.
303
You want an above average life, stop doing average shit.
304
Right.
305
That's that's it at the end of the day.
306
That's all that we're saying here is like, you know, above average things or having outcomes in your life
307
that a lot of people maybe don't have because it's at the top of the mountain.
308
And there's restriction that comes with that.
309
And that is not a bad thing
310
because the opposite of not having restriction kind of just means that you are coasting and it's comfortable.
311
But you have to get uncomfortable and you have to have those those strategic restrictions.
312
And the thing is, like, you know, if you have something that you really desire in your life, if you're not willing to do what it takes to get to that thing that you're desiring,
313
then simply release yourself from the desire.
314
That's it.
315
So these are things that if you apply to your life
316
and you start thinking in these ways and you accept that this is what has to happen, right?
317
Like things have to change.
318
Again, you can look back a year from now and realize
319
that you are an entirely different person with a new set of beliefs.
320
It's not easy.
321
It's not comfortable.
322
But it is absolutely necessary.
323
Love it.
324
Thank you guys for tuning in.
325
We'll see you guys in the next episode.
326
Thank you.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
