Episode 518: 7 Habits You Must Stop to Level Up

0:01Hi, guys. It's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it. Before we dive into today's episode, I first want to thank our sponsor, Therasage. Their tri-light panel has become my favorite biohacking thing for healing my body. It's a portable red light panel that I simply cannot live without. I literally bring it with me everywhere I go. And I personally use their red light therapy to help reduce inflammations in places in my body where, honestly, I have pain. You can use it on a sore back, stomach cramps, shoulder, ankle. Red light therapy is my go-to. Plus, it also has amazing anti-aging benefits, including reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, which I also use it for.

1:30Welcome back to Habits and Hustle. Everyone's always talking about what to do to change their life. But today, I actually want to flip it. Real transformation isn't just about adding new habits. It's actually about stopping the ones that hold you back, the ones and patterns that keep you stuck, drained, and waiting for that quote-unquote someday. So today, I want to share with you seven things I would never do if I want to level up, and how saying no to these habits will instantly move you closer to the life you actually want. I did this by compiling some of the most asked questions of me in this area, and so I'm going to share the question with you, and then we're going to dive into the answer.

2:13So let's do it. The first question I get a lot regarding this topic is, you always say waiting to feel ready is a trap. Why is that such a dangerous mindset? Well, the answer is easy because readiness is a total myth. You'll never feel perfectly ready. Clarity actually comes from action, not from overthinking, actually from doing. And most people wait themselves out of the actual opportunity. Confidence is actually built through action, not by actually planning. And the perfect time does not exist. It does not exist. It's the momentum that creates the potential opportunity. So that's my answer.

3:01The second question I get a lot is you talk a lot about energy. Why do negative people have such a big impact on success? That's an easy one to answer because energy is contagious. You become who you are surrounded by. We've all heard that expression, right? We are the five people we are around the most. So true. Complainers drain your creativity and your momentum. High performers make sure they guard their energy because it's their biggest resource. Being around people who elevate you versus bring you down is so instrumental. You must audit the circle you're around. Another question I get is, well, you said playing it safe keeps you stuck.

3:47Why do you think so many people get addicted to safety? That's a good question, but I'm gonna tell you the answer because comfort feels good short-term, but it kills long-term growth. Risk is the entry fee for every next level. Fear and excitement feel the same. Learn to lean into it. You can't build resilience without discomfort. It's absolutely impossible. Playing small guarantees regret. Risk guarantees experience. I always live by the motto, rejection over regret every time.

4:29Let me share my daily routine game changer with you. It's the Momentus 3. I've been using their protein, their creatine, and omega-3 combo for months now, and the results are undeniable. These nutrients are key for long-term health and performance, but hard to get enough of through diet alone. The Crea Pure Creatine boosts both physical and your mental performance. The grass-fed whey tastes great with no weird aftertaste, and their omega-3 is a must for recovery. Since adding these, my energy, my recovery, and my overall well-being has really improved. So if you want better performance, this is the way to go.

5:38Question number four. You're known for being solution-focused. Why do you think complaining is such a success killer? Ugh, so true. Complaining keeps you focused on problems, not progress. High performers use that same energy to take action. Blame is so easy. Responsibility is where growth actually happens. Every complaint is a signal to do something differently. Success comes from ownership, not excuses. Question five. You say failure is feedback, but most people quit after one setback. How do you actually shift that mindset? Well, guess why? Because failure is not final. It's data. Every setback teaches you what doesn't work.

6:30Quitting guarantees you'll never see the payoff. The best entrepreneurs fail faster and learn faster. Growth is uncomfortable. That's how you know it's actually working. Question six. Let's talk about boundaries. Why is saying yes when you mean no such a trap? Oh my, this is a good one. People-pleasing is self-sabotage. disguised in kindness. Every yes to something meaningless is a no to your actual priorities. Boundaries aren't rude. They're necessary for focus. Saying no doesn't make you difficult. It makes you disciplined. Protecting your time is how you build the life you actually want, not just accepting the life you get.

7:22And lastly, question seven. You and this list with something that hits hard. Scrolling before you create. Why is that such a big one for you? Oh, that's so true. That is one of my big ones. Consuming first kills your creativity. When you start your day with other people's content, you lose your own voice. Your brain goes into comparison instead of creation mode. Momentum is built by doing, not watching. Create before you consume every time. So changing your life isn't just about what you start doing. It's about what you stop doing. Stop waiting to feel ready. Stop surrounding yourself with people who drain you.

8:11And stop saying yes when you actually mean no. the biggest difference, the biggest, biggest difference between people who change and people who stay stuck isn't luck. It's what they're willing to walk away from. If this hits home, share it with someone who needs that wake-up call and let me know how it goes.
