I recently attended the 3-day ‘Time to Rise’ Summit’ with Tony Robbins with over 1 million people across 195 countries. His whole focus was about how we can make change in an increasingly complex and dynamic world that we live in – a strong ‘headwind’ as he described it.
One thing he talked about that really made me think twice was how to make change. Many of us start with the ‘how’ – STRATEGY. I know myself I’ve started there, especially when I’m under pressure or in the reactive slog of the day-to-day.
So I was intrigued when he spoke about 2 steps you need to take BEFORE this:
1. STATE
He said it was critical to get yourself in the right headspace. If your mind is foggy, uncertain and anxious, it will be really difficult to make real change. Meaningful change can only really happen where your ‘state’, your head is clear, positive and steadfast.
2. STORY
Having got yourself in the right headspace, the next step is about the stories you tell yourself. Personally, I have a few that are self-sabotaging! He talked about the importance of telling yourself a different story: busting through those limiting beliefs and creating one filled with confidence and belief about yourself and your ability to get where you want to go.
So, when you’re thinking about making changes in your journey, before you jump to Strategy, start with your State and your Story…
