It’s really not laziness. There are more things going on. Typically calling people “lazy”, even ourselves, is a form of victim blaming. We need to exercise more self-compassion to understand and love ourselves better.
True, but plenty are just really lazy and rely on their two-party puppet circus bully double-standards dictatorshittttt political system, or debunked religion or debunked material atheism, or their horrendous non-vegan lifestyle to fill their voids, causing further havoc. :3
And tons are addicted to the victim card mentality, and bragging harder than others about problems. Poor is a mindset and a class system, broke is temporary.
I've found that for me the best morning routine that has ever worked for me, is to drop any ideas of what I "need" to do based on any socially conditioned pattern, and trust my self and what I need moment to moment . I've that that this is just what works for me personally . Great video Lewis ! Thanks for being one of the people that inspires me to post videos every single day : ) ! Much Love : ) 🙏

Thank you so much!! I took three days to listen to this and it is one of my favorites! I'm trying to become a morning person..lol...and actually been earlier and earlier every day now and feeling like i can enjoy life after work:)
This was a really good show. When I saw how long it was, I thought I would watch just a little. There is so much good knowledge here, I watched the entire show. Thanks!!
LEWIS' TEAM: FOR COMPILATIONS LIKE THESE, PLEASE PUT THE LINKS AND REFERENCES TO THE ORIGINAL INTERVIEWS SO WE CAN LOOK UP THE ONES WE WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE INTERVIEWS OF. THANKS!
Excellent video! Because of this interview, I created my own alarm clock wake-up sound, it is me saying good morning to myself, then counting down 5 seconds. I am going to try it for the first time tomorrow. I am excited to have something that will help me stop hitting the snooze button. LOL!! I may even add encouraging words to the alarm, as Mel explained the importance of speaking them to ourselves.
That thought actually occurred to me a little while ago too! To record a happy, positive, supportive greeting to myself of things I want and need to hear. Give you / your spirit what YOU need first thing in the morning. Great idea. Another method might be to read outloud a prewritten message to myself of the positive supportive things I need to remember and empower myself and set my intention with.
I am bawling from how much you two have spoke my story and then some! The longest distance traveled is from the head to heart! I know about all the text book phycology but still can't get it wholly in the heart! I know faith is important however that recently was shaken!! Then grief x 10 then divorce then horrific relationship with narcissist personally disorder man who severely damaged me!! I am fighting the fight but it truly is the hardest thing I am not bouncing as easily as I have since abandoned rejected from birth I am 54 this next week and I am just now again wanting to get back into society and even try again! Help!! 😢❤
You can do this !! Stop 😢and realize that everything can change and start taking the advice these people are giving. 😅Don’t just think about it 😊54321 Do it. Make the changes. Your past is not your future. Welcome to your new life !
Thank u Lewis!! I'm a great procrastinator! This episode was great! I've been listening to your episodes while I get ready for work. I leave the house enpowered and ready to go. I listened to this one while working at home..Thank you for the inspiration to continue to evolve.
THANK YOU MEL ROBBINS SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR EXTREMELY VALUABLE LESSENS! YOU ARE SO ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! 💕 I LOVE & ADMIRE YOUR DYNAMICALLY FUN & EXPLOSIVE PERSONALITY! YOUR AMAZING ENERGY, ABUNDANT STRENGTH, UNENDING POSITIVE ATTITUDE & OUTLOOK ON LIFE IS SO VERY INSPIRATIONAL! THE PERSERVERANCE THAT YOU NATURALLY POSESS WILL FOREVER BE LEGENDARY! IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR EACH OF US TO SURROUND OURSELVES WITH GOAL ORIENTED, CARING & DECENT FRIENDS WE WILL CHARISH FOR A LIFETIME! CURRENTLY, GREAT CHANGES HAVE BEGUN TO MANEFEST FOR ME! I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ABUNDANCE OF MAKING NEW FRIENDS, FINANCIALLY BLESSED WITH MY SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURSHIP OF INVENTING AND SO MUCH MORE! ✝️⚔️🦋
Love her & love you Lewis!! Appreciated this a lot, big thanks to you both! ❤️ Thanks for piecing it together.. have listened to some of the individual eps but it was just a great combination & compilation of Mel Robbins & Lewis Howes moments! Thanks again 🙏🏻
She is so on point with the idea of tmrw will be different- I will do this & be like that.... and u wake up and nothing happens..... this interview is so eye opening about procrastination and why it is so hard to start the momentum. Ty for helping discover the 5 second technique. I hope it will work for me...
I blow up fast over something small when I'm looking for my keys and most people deal with simple depression and anxieties which are all forms of depression in a way! I smoke marijuana and I still deal with my anger problems!
Actually, there is a split second moment before our mind "gets" the message and when our heart processes it. We call it a gut feeling, but if anyone is interested I can give you an example that it is actually our heart. Maybe that's what the 5 second rule refers to :)
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! I'm working at the office and have a lot of responsibilities and deadlines to deal with. Do you have an advice how to deal day by day with stress at work? Thank you very much in advance)
I wake early and lay in bed it isn’t cause of laziness but because I didn’t sleep at all and I am still hoping for rest to be energized that will never come
I still explane my teams in the Netherlands the 5 second rule and high five habbit. And ofcourse the name Mel Robins. 😀 they love it! Groetjes Corina den Haan, the Netherlands
Mel Robbins you are RAW and I love how transparent you are bc you remind me of myself. Do I share too much? What do ppl think ? Lewis, you’re so open and you’re making a difference by healing us through sharing your thoughts and stories. One day y’all are going to be my friends and we will be randomly texting each other 😅 54321.
there is no laziness in nature each lives according to the conditions of the environment and its needs For example, if there are enough resources to live, a good climate and no enemies, it can sleep all day... or reproduce.. Circumstances determine your life.. and your species also We, as a large species, don't need to rush anywhere... But we live in an unnatural and distorted time.. That's why we have watches. Human language is invented with super many redundant concepts like Laziness.. for example - which are unnatural...

I come to this channel to learn about our common humanity - everything about this talk was great until it became a conversation about racism - no - not "everything is racist or anti-racist"- if that's how one views the world that's a problem in and of itself - there is need for change across the board on social issues and the last thing I was expecting was after 2 hours and 50 minutes of self improvement conversation that the last leg of this is all about racism - If this is going to be a channel about being woke you will lose viewers - I would stick to what unites us not what divides us. Edit - I say this with all the love and appreciation I have for what Lewis does bc he is a beacon of light and positivity and clearly has the best intentions on sharing knowledge that can help ppl and his sincerity is why I come to watch his videos. His guests are great of course but his interviewing style and empathy and relatability and humanity is what keeps me coming back and I don't want to see his guests hijacking his platform for their own personal agendas. That is all.
Poppette they were, essentially, talking about empathy and compassion here. I wasn’t expecting racism to be part of this conversation either and I am sensitive to the weaponisation of the generational and ongoing pain and trauma that people identified as “black” experience. As I view this as destructive and manipulative. However, I think the topic was explored in a positive and helpful way here. I would encourage you to explore why you were so triggered by this x
@@heynicky1109 I am triggered by divisive topics being systematically infiltrated into every facet of life these days - it is divisive no matter how well intentioned one might be. Everyone deserves an outlet where they can get away from the many problems of society and daily life and the world at large. Imagine if you went to a yoga class and the teacher started talking about racism instead of teaching the yoga class. Does racism exist? Yes. Is a yoga class a place where ppl go to address the problems of racism that exist or is it a place where ppl go to seek some peace that every person deserves? There was no natural transition that you mentioned in this conversation. It literally came out of no where and was clearly an agreed upon topic that was going to be addressed in the last few minutes of this video. It's not a topic that CAN be address in the last few minutes of a 3 hour video so it seemed very left field and part of this seemingly all encompassing trend of virtue signaling whiplash which I didn't appreciate especially when she said everything is either "racist or anti-racist" like is that supposed to make the viewer feel like they're not doing enough? None of us are doing enough bc it's a complicated issue that can't be solved by virtue signaling for a few minutes. It honestly just made me feel like she felt she had to say something to stay relevant and not bc it is a sincere issue she cares about otherwise the discussion would have been longer than a few minutes. Especially when she said she worked and reported on all those stories about black ppl who got murdered. I mean she was up close and personal on that reporting in real time and she goes ahead and says the first time she actual felt something on a personal level was when her black coworker mentioned his son going to school in the south. Like really? That's the first time you considered what it might feel like to be black in America? Like that was either bs or a a clear red flag about her actual lack of empathy if she's reporting on these events and murders on a daily basis and that's when you finally felt something real? She just didn't seem genuine to me at least and maybe that's why it rubbed me the wrong way too.

It seems a white person, especially cannot say anything about race because the white person, especially the white male has become the devil in this world. Not all of us people of colour use the colour of our skin as a handicap or play victim to it. Listen to AFRIKA BROOKS' interview with Steven (Diary of a CEO). Afrika is a black woman and she pretty much said what I am saying. The difference is when a white person says the same thing, they are denounced.

Ironic. I’m too lazy to watch 3 hours of content to find the answer for the morning cure for laziness 🥺
Would you be able to write put it in a magazine or put my interesting story on your show loving show”?
there is no laziness in nature
each lives according to the conditions of the environment and its needs
For example, if there are enough resources to live, a good climate and no enemies, it can sleep all day... or reproduce..
Circumstances determine your life.. and your species also
We, as a large species, don't need to rush anywhere...
But we live in an unnatural and distorted time..
That's why we have watches.
Human language is invented with super many redundant concepts like Laziness.. for example - which are unnatural...
Thing is, most of the time, it turns out people ARE secretly mad at me, because I don’t understand their passive-aggressive signals.
Ill watch this in the morning
Amazing stuff! Great stuff!
Appreciate you! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
How can i experience it too?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How about hesitating before you have a drink?
I like the title promise. But Im too lazy to watch 3 hours of podcast!!
Why so long?!
