Episode 590: Daily Habits That Can Transform Your Life in Six Months

Jen Cohen (0:01)

Hi, guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle. Crush it.

Before we get into today's episode, I have a quick question. Do you ever hit 3 p.m. and feel like your brain's just done? That afternoon crash used to be really real for me. My focus would completely disappear. Everything felt harder, and I'd wonder how I was supposed to get through the rest of the day. I tried pretty much everything for energy and focus, and I'm very skeptical of just taking supplements that promise too much. But Magic Mind is one of the very few things I genuinely notice when I don't take it. It's a 2-ounce shot that I take in the morning, and I literally feel sharper, more focused, and much less likely to hit that afternoon wall, which matters when I'm juggling podcasts, the training, the kids, and everything else. It contains Lion's Mane, Ashwagandha, Tumeric, Matcha, and it's non-encapsulated to improve absorption. And every batch is also third-party tested for purity and potency. And maybe my favorite part is it literally just takes two seconds. I'm not doing like a 15-step morning wellness routine because I don't have the time or the patience. You can get 50% off your first order at magicmind.com plus 100-day money-back guarantee. You can also use their store locator to find Magic Mind near you. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Like I said, I was skeptical when I started taking it, and now I really do notice when I skip it. And to me, that says everything. So go to magicmind.com today and get 50% off your first order.

All right. I want to talk about something today on this solo episode, and that is the power of hope and feeling that we all can change our lives just by doing one thing or one small thing differently. And this is the power of six months. Six months from now, you can be living a completely different life. You can be in a different relationship. You can have a different job. You can have a different body. You can have a different group of friends. You could be living in a different state. I mean, literally doing one thing different creates a chain reaction that change the trajectory of where your life goes. It's like sliding doors in a way. If you went into that door versus that door, this door versus that door, what can change? I always think about that. I love that movie because of the message behind it. Life is literally, it's so delicate, fragile.

You yin instead of yang, and your life takes on a whole different trajectory.

What I like about this idea though is that we actually have a lot of control. Some things we have no control over, like which door sometimes, what subway door we go into. But a lot of the things that we do have control over, that we have agency over, we can make a difference of those things.

I think a lot of times, we overestimate what we can accomplish in a week, but we underestimate how much we can accomplish in six months. There's a big gap between that one week and six months. We have to get really good and get comfortable and cognizant of the boring middle. That's where people really kind of like, that's where we lose people, the boring middle. But the reality is like anything worth having, any goal that you're trying to get to, again, no matter what it is, that perfect body or that great relationship, nothing is perfect and nothing is easy all the time. There's going to be ebbs and flows, there's going to be ups and downs, there's going to be stagnations, there's going to be plateaus. That is life, no matter how good or how stressful or whatever. And I think that once we understand that to be the facts, we can do a lot with that. I think six months of consistency is actually a massive amount of time. So what we have to ask ourselves is, what are we doing today to get to what we want to get to tomorrow or in six months or now? What are the habits? What are, what is our days look like? So if you want to have, if you want to, if you want to have like a super strong body, you know, what are you doing today about it? You know, like people say to me all the time, like, oh, I wish I, you know, I was as fit as you. Okay, well, why are you wishing? You have the, you, you can't, it's not that I, I don't wish it. I actually work for it every single day. Nothing comes easy to me. Trust me, I have to work for everything. So if you want to be fit, guess what you need to do? What are the habits that people who are fit do day in and day out? So you ask yourself, are you sleeping enough? Are you exercising daily? What are, are you eating properly? Are you, you know, are you walking your 10,000 steps? I can go on and on and on. So my point is if that is a goal, six months from today, your body, your body composition can make an exorbitant amount of changes based on those habits. If you want to change your career, what are you doing now, today, to make that happen? Are you networking with the right people? Are you making calls? Are you checking, you know, LinkedIn? Are you contacting people on LinkedIn who are in the, in the field that you want to be in? Are you putting yourself in places where that can happen? Are you working on it, quite frankly? Are you working on, working on it? You don't want to be in the relationship you want. Like, I can go on and on, right? Like, you don't like the relationship you're in? All right. Well, what are you doing to make it better?
