How To Build The Ulitmate Morning Routine | Nick Bare EP 220

0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation show.

0:10I firmly believe that taking charge of your mindset allows you to be in the driver's seat of your life and unlock your potential. And that's why I'm thrilled to share that my new book is out right now. It's called The Greatness Mindset. In it, you'll learn how to build a plan for greatness through powerful exercises and toolkits designed to propel your life forward. This is the book that I wish I had 20 years ago. It's everything I've learned in the last decade with the research and the science to help you unlock your mind. Make sure to go to lewishouse.com slash 2023 mindset to pick up your copy of my book, The Greatness Mindset, today.

0:52What are some non-negotiables for you every day besides the morning routine process for you? Is there non-negotiables in the way you think and what the words you use, how you connect with your wife or your kid or your team, the way you sleep? What other non-negotiables? I got to train every day. Got to move my body. Got to spend quality time with my family. You know, for me, like diet and training. If I take care of the food that I put in my body and the way that I move my body, I'm setting myself up for a good day. But it's also having a plan. A non-negotiable for me is having a plan for that day.

1:27Do you ever not have a plan? No. I mean, even if it's a weekend. Even if it's just do nothing and chill, that's the plan. Even if it's a weekend and it's just hanging out, there's still things throughout the day where, you know, I'm going to prep these foods. I'm going to do this workout. I'm going to read this book. What's the biggest insecurity you have today? Maybe that people know about or no one knows about. An insecurity would be, I know I can be more present. I know I can be a better father, a better husband, a better business owner. But I think that the biggest insecurity is not being a complete inner peace for what I've done for myself this past decade or other people in getting to this point.

2:11I think a lot of other people would look at it and say, you should be chilling right now. You should be coasting. But for me, it's, but we're just scratching the surface. I'm just getting started. Like, where am I going to be in 10, 20, 30 years from now? That's what I haven't done yet that is unsettling for me. How do people get to consistency where they're not in blame mode, they're not in beat-up mode when they fall off track, when they miss a workout or a meal that they know is healthy for them? And how can they actually make it their identity and a lifestyle as opposed to something they do once in a while?

2:45My running coach, he has this thing that he says, and it's better to be consistently good than occasionally great. You can apply that to fitness, to your goals, to your diet. Where you see a lot of people fail is they go 180. They decide today's the day. I'm cutting everything out. And then they realize it's not sustainable. They burn out. They don't enjoy it. There's no passion. There's no fun. So how do you become consistently good rather than occasionally great? Maybe I flipped 180. I started a new training program and a new diet. And I lasted for five days. these were a great five days but then for the next 360 nothing so how do you become consistently good it's a small implementation of changes that compound over time and what happens with consistency is it compounds you slowly start incorporating adding these positive benefits in your life and they become part of your routine over maybe three six nine twelve months but not overnight.

3:48How can people learn how to be more consistent? I feel like that's a skill in itself. I think part of it is what are you choosing to be consistent with? You actually care about what you're doing. We just entered a new year and a lot of people will set new year's resolutions. And I bet you most people that set these resolutions are choosing things that they don't actually want to do or care about. One of the best ways to be consistent is choosing things to be consistent with and about that you can stick to that you want to. Choosing things that you you want to be consistent with is the first step, I believe.

4:21And then why? Are you doing it to prove others wrong? Are you doing it to be healthy? Are you doing it for your family? Is your baby due in a month and you want to be a better parent for them? Is that the reason why? I think those are the first steps. Are we doing things to spin our wheels? Are we doing things to be intentional?
