HOW TONY ROBBINS USES PRIMING TO START HIS DAY

It may sound like we're talking about Logan Paul and KSI's brand, but we're not.

The Deep Voiced Business Guy

Ah, Tony Robbins. He’s more than just a guy who yells and makes you feel inspired. He is a renowned author, and philanthropist, known for his self-help books, and seminars. 

He grew up in poverty with a turbulent family life, left home at 17, and started his journey of self-improvement and empowerment. 

He gained prominence in the 1980s, promoting seminars for Jim Rohn and later developing his own series of successful self-help programs and books, including "Unlimited Power" and "Awaken the Giant Within." 

4 decades later, he’s still doing this. But to go from a struggling kid to one of the most notable motivational speakers in the world…well, it seems tricky to say the least. 

What most people don’t know is that he does something called “priming” every single day, so he’s in the right state for the rest of the day. 

Getting Primal

“Emotion is created by motion. The way you move determines the way you feel.”

In caveman talk: Feel good, do good. 

So what is priming? Before we get into that, we have to talk about if you even have the time to implement this in your day. 

I mean there’s so much to do between family life, job, fitness, juggling, and —- oh wait.

My bad. It takes 10 minutes. 10 minutes is the max, so there’s no excuse to why this cannot be added to your day.

“If you don’t have 10 minutes for yourself, you don’t have a life.” Tony said it, not me. 

3 Step Process

We move in 3s here. First off, think of 3 things you’re grateful for 3 minutes. And actually feel it.

Why? Tony says when we are grateful we literally cannot be worried or fearful. 

He views this as a wiring process, saying “Most people want to be happy but their habit is to be worried or pissed off or stressed.”

“They have a highway to stress and a dirt road to happiness.” What we’re trying to do here is create a highway to happiness, which starts with gratitude. 

Next is a 3-minute prayer for family and friends. Whether you’re religious or not, it cannot hurt to give some good intentions to those around you.

It also gives you a minute to think about the people that you interact with everyday, and appreciate that you have them in your life. 

The last thing is a 3-minute visualization of the top 3 things you want to accomplish. See it as done. Feel it. 

Then you’re done. Sometimes Tony does this for 20 minutes, but he made it 10 so he has no excuse not to do it.

We can tell you one of Tony's goals he wants to accomplish:

Why Prime?

This is a perfect segway into our sponsor for this newsletter - Prime. Oh…we didn’t get sponsored by Prime. 

Whoops. Thought this was a slick way to transition, but looks like The Sum Up isn’t quite “at their level” yet, whatever that means. KSI is still dodging our DMs anyway.

The reason to do this 10-minute prime? Ever woken up and just not felt it was gonna be a good day?

That you were bound to be lazy? Maybe it was the sleep quality, what you ate the night before, it’s raining outside, your roommate won’t stop annoying you, you name it. 

With priming, it’s supposed to be a mental reset before stepping into the day. If you leave your 10-minute priming session after

1) Thinking about what you grateful for 

2) Wishing the people around you well

3) Reminding yourself of your big life goals and seeing it as complete

How fired up would you be? Would you move differently throughout your day? Would your actions change based on how you feel? 

The answer to these should hopefully be yes. If we feel as though we have a lot of things going for us in the now, while also feeling like our future is going to be awesome, we are no longer allowing the day-to-day to slow us down. 

Now, we’re making sure that at the beginning of our day, we set ourselves on a path of intentionality, instead of doing whatever we feel like in the moment.
