DO HARD THINGS by Steve Magness | Core Message

This channel has changed my life over the past 3 years. Thank you.

Such an illuminating video. So much becomes possible by understanding our brains and bodies better.

My problem is not doing the hard things, its starting the hard things or any things.

good shit, v hard

your Speech Pattern exposes you
your own weakness
with the FAST descending voice

Have you ever considered starting a podcast?

How can I give this video 2 likes?

Zoom out and explain reminds me of when George from Seinfeld started talking about himself in the third person.
"George is getting upset!"

Video so good, you have to take notes!

This is one of the best books I’ve ever read.

... as a German Biologist - this is about the Genetics and Conditioning of
PAIN and REWARD
when we DO something
ignoring discomfort
- for NO Reward
just doing it ...
reflecting the Hierarchy and Ranking of Values
This is by Nature - not learning ...
you can see it in 10 seconds meeting any person...

"The key to staying tough is assuming that nothing will happen as easily or smoothly as you hope, but with enough time and effort, you can get surprisingly good results."

"you dont need to meditate, all you need to do are these three things that essentially teach you how to meditate"

Very beneficial.

Thank you for the video Nathan!
Your podcast Productivity Game is World Class!

fresh perspective

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful content…for putting it out there with the passion that many of us need and strive for. I'm starting to listen to you almost every morning. Your voice and words feels real and genuine.
 I am grateful to have your channel as a source for having a better relationship with myself and the world around me.

Mental toughness is often portrayed as determination and persistence, but it can also be flexibility and adaptability.
You are tough when your mood is not dependent on your conditions.

I did all this and focused on building business and running marathons , Both things attracted a woman who became my wife , The past 7 years ago her abuse to every aspect of my life destroyed me and now I’m left with Ankylosing spondylitis which got my body to be weak , she left me and I don’t know why I fell for her in first pace, she was after my stability and resources. I always knew she was a carrousel rider and she didn’t love me deeply. I can’t believe how people pray on others , life is short, I think corruption is rampant among feminists and their endeavors to break men, I finally pulled the plug while at my lowest point, Losing my business that I gave 30 years and now I’m 52 years old trying to heal and lift up , The only big problem I have is loneliness anxiety and the anxiety of my multiple injuries from falls and health condition which was triggered by extreme abuse treatment

Wow, I’m a business owner, weight lifter, AND I get test anxiety. Seriously 😐 I am all of those. I was zooming out and never realizing it was a “thing”. I’ve had many friends and colleagues tell me I bounce back really fast and keep going. Thanks for the video. I thought I was a weirdo.

Embarrase reality
Maintain equanimity

Subbed!!!

Can you please make a eng translate?

I’m not proud of any of my accomplishments

Thanks Nathan

This too shall pass.

I rendered the same project 20 times from sunday til now

Thanks a lot. Here the summary is nicely described.

u need an audio compressor on this but overall gud video haha

beat sekiro you will be ready for anything in life.

Vipassana meditation seminars are free and help teach this technique

Instruction unclear: I became a heroin addict to get a difficult challenge to overcome.

zoom out and explain, huh? getting high can surely help you with that

Play Dark Souls!

Writings but occurred same thing the maths

Giving birth require a lot of toughness and intense focus

"George is gettin upset!"

Funny. Learned the "everything is temporary" thing in the military. I guess they aren't so traditional after all.

Meditation part is BS.😂😂. Other parts ok.

1- ZOOM OUT AND EXPLAIN.
2- REAPPRAISE. See the positives/benefits of any difficulty. Its how you interpret things. Perception. Its not what happens to you, its what happens for you.
3- REASSURE. This too shall pass. With every hardship comes ease.

these are 3 ways to turn off the alarm system/amygdala in our brains.

So the third one was the "Why"
For sense of belonging purpose

Thanks

Your book summaries r always wonderful... would love to know how u read books & also how u apply it it ur life...
God bless u

Zoom out, reappraise, reassure

Great video

Toughness is embracing reality for what it is. Reality is always temporary, therefore, a discomfortable reality shall always pass... so stay strong!

Reminds me a lot of what is presented in the "Stockdale Paradox."

I like doing hard things. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

"Zoom Out and Explain" is also a spiritual concept called Awareness. It's the saying that you are not your thoughts and emotions, but the real You is the Awareness behind those thoughts and emotions (the person hearing those thoughts and emotions). Meditation helps build the muscle of your Awareness by listening to your breath leave, and then listening to you inhale...and then when your mind drifts, the workout (or muscle building part of it) is to BRING BACK the mind to listening to your breath.
