- Today's video is a carry on
from the last video that we just saw.
And it's how to be wicked awesome in your mind
about how you do business.
Maybe you've got a healthy body
and a healthy everything else.
But sometimes your mindset isn't.
This six inches between your ears
is the most important measurement.
Not the six inches in your (bleep).
It's the six inches between your ears
that's the most important.
You've gotta make sure you're keeping it healthy.
We're gonna be talking about your Mirror Mindset today.
Mirror Mindset is where you look at something
and you feel that something is as it is but it's not.
I lost a bunch of weight, here's a photo of me
when I was overweight and here's
a photo of me without a shirt on.
That's right, I lost my beach ball.
It was this big, this round and went thatta way.
But seriously, your mind and your mind health
is very, very important.
When you look at a photo of yourself,
it was only after I saw these photos side by side
did I really realize how much weight I'd achieved
and how much weight I'd lost
and how much better I felt mentally.
I knew myself, I was sleeping less.
I was giving myself enough sleep.
I was giving myself an allotted amount of time
but I was waking up sometimes ten minutes
before the alarm, then 20, then 50, then an hour,
then two hours before the alarm,
and not feeling like going back to bed.
Just getting up and working.
Your body is a finely tuned instrument
that puts up with a lot of shit, hopefully once a day.
Sometimes twice, but sometimes a lot more in business.
And you've gotta make sure that you have
the tools to overcome those problems.
And if your mind isn't right,
you won't be running the tools very well.
The Mirror Mindset is about what you look at
when you see something in the mirror.
When you look at something in the mirror,
you see something, if you weigh 110
or 120 or 150 kilos, when you look at that person,
and then you say today's the day I'm gonna lose weight.
Today's the day I'm gonna do it.
Just do it! - [Shia] Just do it!
- Once you make that decision and you're doing it,
you notice the scale numbers might change.
And you get excited, you look in the mirror
and nothing's changed, you look at the scales,
it's getting a bit lower, maybe.
You look in the mirror, nothing's changed.
You're looking at the scales,
your fat percentage is going down.
But your weight's staying the same.
The metric you might've been using before
might not have been very good
if you don't have fat weighing scales
that are very accurate.
You need to make sure you're losing fat,
not muscle off your body, but, I digress.
When you look in the mirror each and every day.
I went from 110 kilos down to about 85, 87
and did not notice a difference
because I was looking at me every day.
I was watching the grass grow, it was never gonna happen.
People saw me that hadn't seen me
and they just went whoa, you look amazing.
And I thought, oh yeah, (blows raspberries)
blowing air, y'know, doing their thing.
But, I went yeah, okay, if that's
what they're doing but I didn't see it.
And I kept telling myself,
I wanna have six pack abs, I wanna have six pack abs.
Well, I didn't want to have it
just because it was something I said in my mind,
I'm a disciplined person, I wanted to get to it.
So I did, and I eventually got to it.
I put on about 10 kilos of muscle
after losing the 38 kilos to get to it, but I got to it.
And what did I see in the mirror?
Extra fat, I didn't see the six pack abs.
And you have to think about what you're seeing
when you look in the mirror.
And when you're trying to get to a goal.
'Cause we are our own worst enemies.
We are our biggest critics,
and we just sit there and let it happen.
Get a good mindset, become your best friend.
And make sure that you're doing the best for yourself,
so that you can do the best for everyone else.
When you do that, you'll be able
to perform better at work, you'll be able
to perform better in your relationships,
you'll be able to perform better
for yourself and you'll be proud of yourself.
Try for the goals, don't always look at the numbers.
And make sure you have your head screwed on right.
You gotta keep this guy in good nick,
he's gotta be around for a long time.
You can lose a limb, but if you
lose your head, everything's gone.
There's only one other part of your body
that's more important than your head.
That's your anus, if it closes up, everything's over.
Show's over guys, but besides that,
your head's really important, think about it.
Yeah, using your head, stay good.
