1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,800 The first step to improving yourself and your life is to build discipline. 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,500 Today I will share with you the simplest secret to build your discipline. 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,300 Before we get into that, I want to tell you the truth. 4 00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:16,800 The truth is, I used to be lazy. 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,500 I used to stay in bed for hours scrolling on TikTok. 6 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,500 I remember I would lay in my bed, I hadn't brushed my teeth yet, 7 00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:34,000 I was feeling sweaty and gross and I just remember being hungry. 8 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,500 Like I wanted to get some food because I just woke up. 9 00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:42,700 And I was just scrolling through TikTok and I was just swiping through. 10 00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:46,300 I was hungry and I needed to make food to quench my hunger. 11 00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:51,000 But I just didn't have enough willpower to get up and out of bed to make food. 12 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,200 I didn't have enough willpower to do the simple act of walking a couple inches 13 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,400 or a couple feet to my kitchen. 14 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,700 I couldn't do it. 15 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,000 So I just remember feeling like helpless. 16 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,400 I remember I just felt trapped. 17 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,800 And at this time I was in middle school and my alarm would wake me up 18 00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,300 and I had a few hours to kill before school. 19 00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:20,600 So I would just wake up, go on my phone, watch YouTube 20 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,800 and then walk over to the couch. 21 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,800 I didn't shower, didn't brush my teeth, I didn't do anything like that. 22 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:32,800 I just brought my phone with me to the couch and then I would just start watching YouTube. 23 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,200 This was every single day before school. 24 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,500 Like first thing in the morning I would watch YouTube. 25 00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:41,500 And I remember I was so lazy I didn't even make myself food. 26 00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:44,500 I had my mom make me a smoothie every single day. 27 00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,800 So I would drink a smoothie. 28 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,900 Then once I was done drinking the smoothie, by the way while I was drinking the smoothie, 29 00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:52,800 I would watch YouTube the whole time. 30 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,000 So I was just entertained 24-7. 31 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000 And then I would finish the smoothie and then I would get ready for school. 32 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,800 But the fact is on the weekends, since I didn't have anything to do, 33 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,000 like on the weekends I didn't have to go to school. 34 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,500 I didn't have some place to be. 35 00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,400 So I just didn't go anywhere. 36 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,600 I didn't like get out of my bed for a long time. 37 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,800 I would just wake up right away, grab my phone, watch TikTok 38 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,000 and I just did not want to get up. 39 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,800 And this happened pretty much every single weekend or every single day I didn't have school. 40 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,300 But there was one instance in particular that I really remember. 41 00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:37,600 And this instance didn't really stick out much in like my days. 42 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,800 Like this was an average day for me. 43 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,200 And I would just wake up, grab my phone, start scrolling on TikTok. 44 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,400 And like I said, I was like hungry. 45 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,600 Like I needed food. 46 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,800 But it was just so much easier to scroll through TikTok. 47 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,200 And there's this concept that I didn't understand at the time. 48 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,200 But I want to explain it to you real quick. 49 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,200 So I learned about this in a book called Toofty the Priestess. 50 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,600 And pretty much your attention can either be fully immersed in the outer screen. 51 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,000 So the outer screen is anything that's happening outside of you. 52 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,800 So for example, if your attention is fully immersed in this podcast, 53 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,000 then you are asleep, essentially. 54 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,400 If you're not paying attention to your inner thoughts or your inner like functions of your actual body, 55 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,400 and you're just fully immersed in this podcast, then you're asleep. 56 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,400 And it's not just podcast or entertainment. 57 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,400 It can be anything. 58 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,400 For example, today at school, I was fully immersed in listening to my teacher. 59 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:43,000 I was fully immersed in watching these two guys next to me just like mess around. 60 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000 So at those instances, I was asleep. 61 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,000 And then the other option is you can be fully immersed in the inner screen, 62 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000 which is anything inside of your body. 63 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000 So when you're deep in thought, when you're just thinking about something, you're asleep. 64 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,000 And usually when you're immersed, you're on autopilot and you're just acting as if someone else was controlling you. 65 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000 And it's actually like that. 66 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000 Like when you're fully immersed, you are not in control of your own reality. 67 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000 You're not actually making your own decisions. 68 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,000 So you can get fully immersed in the outer screen or the inner screen. 69 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000 And you're asleep when you do either of those. 70 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000 The way you wake up is by holding your attention in between the two. 71 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000 So you hold your attention in between the outer screen and the inner screen. 72 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000 What that looks like is, let's say you're listening to this podcast, but you're also aware of your own thoughts. 73 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000 You're also aware of yourself. 74 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000 That is what it looks like to be awake. 75 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,000 So throughout the day, it's best to be awake because then you're in complete control of your actions 76 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000 and you can actually make conscious decisions on what to do. 77 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:59,000 Going back to the story of me laying in bed, scrolling through TikTok, 78 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,000 I was in this zombie-like state and I was asleep the whole time just scrolling through TikTok. 79 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000 But there was times when I would just kind of wake up and I was like, 80 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000 I probably should get up, get some food, take a shower, brush my teeth. 81 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000 I probably should do that. I was awake at that time for a brief moment. 82 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000 And then I was like, but it's so much easier to just to keep scrolling. 83 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,000 And then I just went back to scrolling and I instantly fell back asleep. 84 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,000 I would argue that those times when I was actually just mindlessly scrolling through TikTok, 85 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000 I was mindless and I wasn't actually experiencing those situations as myself. 86 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000 I was just asleep. Like, like that's the nature of being asleep. 87 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000 I was not actually experiencing it. 88 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000 When you're awake, that's when you experience things. 89 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000 So if you're just mindlessly scrolling through TikTok and you're asleep, you're not experiencing it. 90 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000 It's not a real experience. 91 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000 That's why looking back on that memory just feels like a daydream. 92 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000 It feels like just something that is not really real. 93 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000 I can't really imagine it like my other memories. 94 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000 Like I have memories of me going to the park playing soccer. 95 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000 Those seem real, but just laying in bed scrolling through TikTok just seems terrible. 96 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,000 And I remember like saying to myself after like hours of scrolling and just hours of saying, 97 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000 but it's easier to just keep scrolling. 98 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,000 I just remember saying to myself, this is miserable. How do I get out of this? 99 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000 That's all background. And I want to flash forward to when I actually started reading books, 100 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000 like actually started reading self-improvement books that I wanted to read 101 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,000 that were actually helping me move along in my life and helping me improve in my life. 102 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000 And one of the early books that I read, it was called Unplugged Alpha. 103 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,000 So this book, I just read because I just saw it recommended to me on a YouTube video, 104 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,000 but I read through the whole book. It was a pretty quick read and I definitely recommend it. 105 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:08,000 And one of the biggest things that I got out of it was just focused on your personal development. 106 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,000 But the biggest actionable step that I got out of the Unplugged Alpha 107 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:21,000 and really the biggest benefit that I got from it was the secret that I'm going to tell you. 108 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000 And it's to take cold showers. 109 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Now, this was just a passing comment on this book. 110 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000 The book was not about cold showers. It was just one passing comment that he wrote, 111 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:42,000 but it really stuck with me. He said, the simplest way to build discipline is to take cold showers. 112 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Once I read that, I instantly just told myself, okay, I'm disciplined. I take cold showers. 113 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:57,000 I just had this mindset shift. I realized that I know that I need to build discipline to see success. 114 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000 You can achieve anything you want if you have discipline. I knew that. 115 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000 I knew that successful people have a lot of discipline. 116 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000 And so I was looking for a way to build discipline that was simple, 117 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000 that I didn't really have to go out of my way to do it. 118 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:21,000 And so it was so perfect because I already take showers and so it's not going to take any extra time. 119 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000 So I simply just replaced my warm showers with a cold shower. 120 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000 So now I take cold showers because that was my new identity. 121 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,000 I implemented this new identity, which was I take cold showers. 122 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,000 This is huge. The identity piece of things is huge because... 123 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,000 And by the way, this story took place six months ago. 124 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000 At the time I read the unplugged alpha that was six months ago. 125 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000 At that point of time in my life, cold showers was not a new concept to me. 126 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:58,000 Like I had taken cold showers before, but the reason why I took them was for the health benefits and the muscle recovery benefits. 127 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000 So I didn't really do it for the discipline. 128 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000 I never really thought of improving my discipline by doing cold showers, 129 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,000 but I still took cold showers for the health benefits. 130 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Like when I was playing soccer, I used to train outside and at the gym and I would take cold showers to recover quicker. 131 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:26,000 But since I was just doing it for the health benefits, I used the excuse to only have the beginning of my shower as cold and the end of my shower as cold. 132 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000 And then I would actually take my shower warm. 133 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000 That was the excuse that I used. 134 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000 But it wasn't until I had this identity shift after I read the unplugged alpha, 135 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000 this identity shift of I take cold showers in its entirety. 136 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000 Like I only take cold showers. 137 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000 I completely shift my identity. 138 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,000 From that point on, I told myself, I am not using hot water on my face ever again. 139 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,000 I am only using cold water throughout the whole shower. 140 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000 That's when I actually started taking entire showers cold. 141 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000 And it was not easy. 142 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,000 I'll tell you that. 143 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000 I remember all the time I would have these negative thoughts. 144 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:15,000 Every single shower, especially in the beginning, I had, oh, I don't want to do this. 145 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000 Oh, just use warm water. 146 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Like all of these thoughts run through my mind while it's taking it. 147 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:28,000 But I'll tell you the negative thoughts were always the worst before I even got into the cold. 148 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:38,000 Once I got into the cold water, the negative thoughts either disappeared completely or they were not as bad 149 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000 or they didn't have as much control over me. 150 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000 And so I knew that I just had to step into that water. 151 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000 I just had to start. 152 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000 Just had to do it. 153 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,000 And so every single time I had negative thoughts, I just reminded myself of my identity. 154 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000 I reminded myself that I take cold showers. 155 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000 I am successful. 156 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000 This is what successful people do. 157 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000 I just remember sitting in that cold. 158 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000 And even to this day, I still take cold showers every day, by the way. 159 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,000 I just remember saying to myself, this is just, this is what successful people do. 160 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000 This is what successful people do. 161 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000 I just kept on reminding myself that. 162 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,000 And now it's November and it's starting to get cold. 163 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,000 Like over the past month or so, it started to get really cold. 164 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:30,000 And that means that the pipes, the pipes that the water goes through are colder. 165 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000 So that means the actual cold of the cold shower is colder. 166 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:41,000 So I'm just sitting in freezing cold water. 167 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:50,000 To the point where if I have my head, if I hold my head underwater for like too long, like a couple minutes, 168 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000 I get a headache, I actually get like a brain freeze. 169 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000 I always just remind myself, this is how you build discipline. 170 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000 This is how you build discipline. 171 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000 And there's one thing that I want to note. 172 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,000 When you have the negative thoughts and when they're the strongest, when you don't want to do it the most. 173 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:15,000 So when you're having the most resistance to taking the cold shower, that's when it requires the most discipline. 174 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000 But that's also when you get the most discipline in return. 175 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,000 So let me explain. 176 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000 It's like lifting weights. 177 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,000 The more you lift, the stronger your muscles get. 178 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,000 And so if you lift heavy, your muscles will get stronger. 179 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,000 And when you're in that cold shower and you really don't want to do it, especially on that day, 180 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000 and you do it anyways, you get the most benefit on that day. 181 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000 Use that as something to lean against. 182 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,000 Use that knowledge that you get the most benefit on the days when you don't want to do it. 183 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000 And use that as comfort to do it anyways. 184 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:04,000 Now, you may be disappointed hearing that cold showers is the simplest secret to building discipline. 185 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000 But to be honest, it really is. 186 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,000 And once I learned about it, I instantly changed my identity. 187 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,000 I instantly knew that I needed to take action. 188 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000 I needed to actually do it if I wanted to get the discipline. 189 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000 It's those who accept the fact that this is how you do it. 190 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000 They accept the fact that you need to take action to build discipline. 191 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000 That's those who actually start to build discipline. 192 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:36,000 I only built all my discipline over these past six months because I actually took those cold showers. 193 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000 I did not miss a day. 194 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000 So always take a cold shower. 195 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000 Sometimes I actually take multiple showers a day. 196 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000 For example, over the summer, I took like three or four showers a day. 197 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000 I took my first shower when I woke up. 198 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000 I took another shower once I got home from the park. 199 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000 I took another shower once I got home from the gym. 200 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,000 And sometimes I went to the park again and got another shower. 201 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000 So all of these showers were all cold. 202 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,000 And even today, on days that I go to the gym, I take two showers and they're all cold. 203 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Every single time. 204 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000 So every single shower you take should be cold. 205 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000 Do not have any warm showers. 206 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,000 So take action and actually build discipline. 207 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000 Now this was just the first step. 208 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,000 This episode was just focused on the first step of self-improvement. 209 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,000 And I actually created a framework. 210 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000 I actually mapped out six steps for self-improvement. 211 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Just from what I learned from my past year of experience. 212 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:47,000 And I actually figured out two principles to follow on your self-improvement journey. 213 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,000 These are all the principles and steps that I took to improve myself throughout my journey. 214 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000 And they allowed me to skyrocket. 215 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000 But it took me a while to figure these principles out. 216 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000 Like I said in this, in the story, I was on TikTok. 217 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:09,000 I knew I needed discipline to actually get up and read or actually get up and start my day. 218 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:20,000 But it took me months to figure out that discipline, the simplest way to build discipline, was cold showers. 219 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000 So you guys have two options. 220 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,000 The first option is to wait an entire week for my second episode to release. 221 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,000 Because I'm actually going to be posting weekly episodes. 222 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:41,000 And for these first six to eight weeks are going to be focused on these six steps and two principles. 223 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000 So I'm going to be releasing one step per week. 224 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:50,000 So you guys have an option to either wait an entire week for the second secret. 225 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000 And then another week for the third secret. 226 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000 And so on and so forth. 227 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,000 And you'll be waiting a total of eight full weeks to learn all this stuff. 228 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:06,000 Which is still a good deal because to be honest, it took me many months to learn all this stuff. 229 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000 So you guys are already getting a better deal than I did. 230 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:18,000 But the second option is to click the link in the description called free gift self improvement guidebook. 231 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,000 To claim your free gift. 232 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:30,000 And I actually created an entire in depth guide mapping out the six steps, having actionable steps, as well as the two principles. 233 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000 And I map out all of this stuff for you. 234 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000 And it's completely free. 235 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,000 You just have to go to that link and give me your email and then I'll send it to you. 236 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000 So those are your two options. 237 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000 And that's it for today's episode. 238 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,000 And I want you guys to look out for next week's episode. 239 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000 It'll go live on Friday, every single Friday. 240 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,000 Next week's

--> 00:17:26,000 I hear it all the time. 247 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Having a mentor is a shortcut to success. 248 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000 And I see it. 249 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:37,000 I see it because I am kind of mentoring someone that's one year younger than me. 250 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000 I see it with this guy that I'm helping out. 251 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000 I'm actually giving him a lot of tips and he's grown so much. 252 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,000 He's actually getting a lot of valuable insights from me. 253 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,000 So much so that
