 Okay, we're gonna head to the gym again. So I wanted to talk to you today about Waking up in the morning with self-loathing feeling depressed almost. I Don't always have my shit together like I wake up in the morning sometimes and for the first five minutes I'm like, you know good shit. What's going on? Sometimes it's oh James. What's going on? You're 41 and you don't have a family yet. You shit at relationships You'll never find love. You'll never have a family Other times I compare myself to other entrepreneurs. I'm like, jeez James. You're not making enough money like oh my god Look at that guy making so much more than you. Come on. What's wrong with? Other times I might put my hand down and round my waist and go Jesus you got like 16% body fat. Why isn't it 12% if only you didn't have that ice cream last night? Other times I just feel directionless like what should I do with my life? Even though I'm moving in a direction sometimes I question and I go am I heading in the right direction or should I Head in that direction and sometimes there are just so many options I'm like do I go that way that way do I do this thing this thing? What if I do that and it doesn't work if I did that all that thing I tried it didn't work and in the first five minutes of the day You're like you're starting a day going. I'm shit. Oh my life sucks. Everything's the worst And I go through that Many mornings some weeks most mornings not every morning, but a lot I go through it a lot Do you go through something similar to that? Do you ever feel Depressed first five minutes in the morning. Do you ever like have that inner dialogue going on? I feel yeah, it sucks, but I Realize that they're just thoughts. It's not actually who you are. They're just thoughts It's a story in your head, but that's all it is That's it's a story and you can change your story very quickly. So here's what I do Here are three things that I do. Okay number one is Gratitude so I go into my five-minute journal and I write down three things that I'm grateful for And that changes the story it changes the story from I'm crap. I'm no good I don't have this to I'm grateful for this this and this and it rewires your brain Second tip is meditation which I hate because I'm just got 80 D and I'm it's hard to sit still But just five or ten minutes can help immensely. I use two apps calm Calm and headspace calm is free with a paid upgrade and headspace costs a little bit more money and Doing that for just five or ten minutes and just like Sitting still and trying to focus on your nose at your head makes those thoughts just lose their power and Then third I change my language From I can't do this. I'm crap at this too. I'm strong. I'm powerful. I'm moving forward. I'm an action-taker Sometimes I'll get one of those black marker pens and I'll write it on my mirror So in the morning when I'm looking in the mirror splashing water on my face. I see I'm strong powerful Moving for say I'm no good. I'm crap. Look at my body. It's moving for but if I say I'm strong I'm powerful. Look at my body. I'm moving for my chest is up and I'm powerful. I'm moving So try those three things the other thing you should also do is get as much sunlight as you can sunlight increases your happiness Get as much exercise which releases endorphins It's makes you happy and also double down on the things you like if you like hanging out with dogs Then hang out with dogs if you like running then run more if you're like a certain friend hang out with that friend more All of these things combined help get me out of that like oh, I saw everything's bad bad and gets me into like Alright, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. It just gets you out of it And most times my mood can change just like that Tony Robbins the motivational coach says you can change your mood In a heartbeat just like that. So just decide to do it. I am not a doctor. It obviously if you have more Serious depression clinical depression then obviously see a doctor but those skills will certainly help and For me, it's like listen to what my complaints were when I mentioned them right in the beginning I don't have family. I don't make enough money. Someone else is doing better. I mean first world problem That's why I know that for me those sports are ridiculous. It's just a bullshit story Just like it is for you. Most most of your thoughts are bullshit as I can tell myself another story Instead of like I saw this is no good. I can say I'm healthy. My parents love me. I've got a great business I'm inspiring people Change your story change your life if you've got a choice of what story to tell yourself Then just go for the positive one. Don't go for the negative one. Just change your story I'm in Australia. I travel the world. I'm about to go to the gym and work out I'm gonna feel amazing. You're watching me on my snapchat and my Instagram story I caught up with great friends last night. There's food on the table. I woke up in a beautiful bed I'm probably going to Sydney this week I'm gonna eat my favorite Australian snack food after I work out I'm gonna go in there and buy some really unhealthy barbecue shapes, but I don't care because I love barbecue shapes The Sun is shining Just change your story just find every little thing that you can be grateful for changes So, what are you grateful for send me a message right now?
