same! sober and healthy both mentally and physically. I feel like im numbing my life away with zyn and thc/cbd gummy's. When i come home from work, i go straight into being a full time parent to a toddler (most times alone) and im starting to feel myself become more distant and foggy. Im 28 but i feel like my life is passing by.

i've avoided this Robbins guy for decades, the tv commercials, yadda. But this is some good shit. Damn. And props to Theo for sharing so much and being so strong in this type of forum as to be vulnerable and give us good shit to help people, ourselves, out. Brilliant. Respect. ✊

I felt the same way.. watching this interview has made me want to take another look at Tony Robbins

I'm like 8 years sober from alcohol.. but like 5 years into it I went with my girlfriend to meet her family for thanksgiving. they got to drinking later on that night and I was offered some.. and I simply said no.. I don't drink. no thanks I'm cool. It didn't bother me either. and we all had fun regardless and I felt so good to be able to say no for once in my life.. and it not bother me. I was so proud of myself. It wasn't my identity anymore.

Even though Tony wasn’t obviously speaking directly to me, it felt like he was. So thank you for that and thank you for allowing me to give myself credit for once.

Man I've been saying this for years... happiness is progress. Only because I heard Tony say it in a book a long time ago. He's right though. There might be other ways to happiness, but I can take myself from the dumps to stoked by doing something like fixing my lawnmower by learning on KZread, or reading a book about my job that gets me fired up, or getting better at skating or surfing by learning from others, getting one more rep or going up in weight at the gym... What a great video.

I was telling this to a friend yesterday who was complaining that we all have to work in order to afford things like shelter and food. But there is a strange fulfillment in figuring out how to survive on your own. It's the reason so many rich kids grow up miserable or drug addicts. I have somewhat privileged children, and I worry about their happiness more than I worry about anything else.

We all know deep down what we have to do to get right with ourselves before we meet the end and return to the source of all that is. Once you stop running from that and embrace what you know must be done, it can lead to radical transformations in people. We get two lives, the second starts after we realise we only get one.

Chapter 3 of Atomic Habits. That’s that Tony read and understood. That book is a prerequisite for life

At 7:00 he says something that I have felt for years! I quit heroin the day I finally put in the rearview and said “I dont do heroin anymore” and stopped counting the days until my next relapse. I still have to look it up when asked how long Ive been sober because I dont remember the exact date. I always hated 12 step programs that have you counting the days and constantly THINKING like an addict.

Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor!

Not everyone is concerned about happiness, they just want to get through life comfortably.

Great to see Mr. Robbins being able to help this era.

Super Dave Osborne is very inspirational.

He is absolutely right about the people who count their sobriety. We all know them. People who are brainwashed by AA to believe they will always be an addict, so make it a part of their core identity and never stop going on about it. They're still being defined by and identifying with alcohol. It's sad.

Thanks for sharing

I literally talked about this same concept of “changing your identity” but I always said “reinvent myself” and felt like counting days was counterproductive and always looking back on something you tell yourself you can’t do anymore…. I always say I’m choosing to do something or worst case just choosing not to do whatever bad habit it is at the moment and have a general idea of when I “quit” but don’t keep track of it….. it just feels a lot better than what a lot of recovery programs or AA teach.. also hate how they make you say “I’m an addict” like how can you reinvent yourself if you classify yourself like that… they didn’t like me in recovery groups but I never went back to it like I did when I was down bad in addiction… may have had a few relapses here or there but never went back full into it.

I worked for him in 1990 91. Here's what I disagree with. If happiness requires a difficult route, then so does every emotion. If you can't maintain inner peace it's because IT doesn't require anything. Can't sit still? Your mind owns you. And Tony teaches mind tricks.

Are you conflating the dopaminergic happiness with the sense of inner peace that comes from being able to sit still? Those are very different things. Also, why does every emotion require a difficult route if one emotion does? I'm thinking different emotions are triggered by different stimuli and have different "purposes" (really I mean different advantages/disadvantages to survival). In this case, Tony is saying that emotion of happiness (the rush of feelin' good like your life is on track and you're awesome) is generated by accomplishing things. It's a survival mechanism to get us motivated to do things. But it's not going to make you enlightened or at peace.

A study revealed that many convicted felons have very high self esteem and confidence, that is often why they leave prison and commit the same crimes. They genuinely think they won't get caught.

Yeah but being forced through the opposite will just make you not give a shit too.

this is what I've been struggling with lately. I know growth takes place outside of my comfort zone therefore it is natural to feel fear. but I'm confused if the fear that I am experiencing is a good fear, cause I'm growing but its just that I have to be at uncharted waters. or if it is a gut feeling, a protection, that I am setting the wrong goal or making the wrong decision. can anyone tell me how to differentiate this ?

To be fair I love the easy way 99% of the time.

Being happy isn't a good goal.

I wish i had Robbins mindset

Best way to change your identity is to hold off on your current one. Example:I want a cigarette But I have to finish doing everything in the day before I have one so I can enjoy my cigarette. You go long enough everyday without that cigarette til the end of the day. You’ll notice the cigarette isn’t all that and a bag of chips.

I don't even fucking know what route to fucking take. Now what.
