Primed for Success: 30 Days Testing Tony Robbins' Morning Routine

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to adopt the habits of some of the world’s most successful individuals?

Last years, I’ve been exploring and fine-tuning my own habits for energy, health, joy and success. After exploring the teachings and habits of Marcus Aurelius (check out the results here), I turned to modern-day powerhouse Tony Robbins for inspiration.

For 30 days, I decided to test the morning routines of this renowned author, entrepreneur, self-help guru, and philanthropist. Known for his unparalleled energy and drive, Tony Robbins has inspired millions worldwide through his seminars like Unleash The Power Within and his Netflix documentary I Am Not Your Guru.

The Power of Going All-In: What Happens When We Fully Commit?

What happens when we make an all-in decision and fully commit to something?

When we tune into what we really want and make a bold move, something incredible seems to happen. It’s like telling the universe, “I’m ready—let’s go!” And suddenly, opportunities start falling into place.

Do you take the time to tune into what you truly want? Here are a few tools to help you connect with your inner guide:

Follow Your Excitement: A Powerful Path to Fulfilment

Do you remember the last time you felt truly excited? That electric buzz in your veins, the spark in your eyes, and the sense of possibility in the air?

Excitement is often underestimated, but it’s one of the most powerful forces we can harness in our lives. It’s not just a fleeting emotion—it’s an essential driver of progress, growth, and deep fulfillment. It’s pointing you towards something that could truly make you happy.

But here’s the catch:

De ochtendroutines van de groten der aarde getest: Tony Robbins

2021 is het jaar waarin ik de gewoontes en routines van een aantal groten der aarde uittest. De tweede op mijn lijstje, na Marcus Aurelius: Tony Robbins.

Ik ben met deze gewoontes aan de slag gegaan:

mindset: ons heel bewust primen voor energie en positiviteit
koude therapie
ademhalingsoefeningen
visualisatie van succes
dankbaarheid
beweging

The more you help people find their light, the brighter you both will shine.

Being happy has to do as much with ourselves as with others. If you can contribute to another person's happiness, undeniably you will feel happier as well. I think it's nature's way to guarantee that the good prevails 😊. Deep down inside we want to be contributing and collaborating, taking care of each other, lifting each other up, and probably not being as individualistic as we might have been taught or how society seems to appreciate it.

Read on to learn on how to shine and let shine.

You make mistakes, mistakes do not make you.

You make mistakes. Mistakes do not make you. Lovely insight 😊. (I’m about to drop the lemon in the picture)

There is a deep truth in that quote that you can start using to make your life better in many ways.

Once we realize that our behavior and our actions are things we DO and not the things we ARE, a big door for peace of mind and happiness can open. Every time you place some negative behavior on IDENTITY level, you are undermining your potential.

Are you here to experience life or to think about it?

⁠If you're like me, you're mostly living in your head, thinking a lot:

⁠How could that play out for me?⁠ How can I be happier?⁠ How should I do this "correctly"?⁠ Will that be the right choice for me?⁠ What if I fail?⁠ I screwed up yesterday (+ 100 extra discouraging thoughts)⁠. How are they doing this? And why am I not doing this?⁠ Tomorrow I will do this and that.⁠ ⁠And so on…

Thinking mode.⁠ ⁠A lot of how questions. A lot of putting myself into the past or the future.⁠

De ochtendroutines van de groten der aarde getest: Marcus Aurelius

2021 wordt het jaar waarin ik de gewoontes en routines van een aantal succesvolle personen ga uittesten. De eerste op mijn lijstje: Marcus Aurelius.

Hier de gewoontes die ik heb toegepast in januari 2021. Ik licht eerst de gewoonte toe, dan hoe ik ze zelf heb toegepast, daarna wat ze me heeft opgebracht en tot slot een score op 5.

You can not overestimate the unimportance of practically everything

The title is a quote from John Maxwell:

You can not overestimate the unimportance of practically everything.

One of the best quotes I've read in a while, at least when looking at my scattered, countless interests and goals.

Read on to understand how this quote touches the core of happiness & high-performance and how you can improve both.

The one question that can change your life

I read this quote from Marcus Aurelius recently: If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.

It made me think of an old Socrates story, so story-time:

Mistakes do not make you: 6 tips to build up your self-esteem and happiness

You make mistakes. Mistakes do not make you.

Lovely insight 😊.

Quotes are just quotes, but if it resonates with you, there is a deep truth in there that you can start using to make your life better in many ways.

Level Up Your Life - Tem je angst en zelftwijfel

Zelfvertrouwen is de keerzijde van zelftwijfel. Je kan niet praten over zelfvertrouwen als zelftwijfel niet zou bestaan. Het één kan niet zonder het ander. Het is de andere kant van dezelfde munt.

Zelftwijfel is dus heel normaal en een vast onderdeel van het leven. Het is met andere woorden helemaal ok om te voelen. Zelftwijfel geeft bestaansrecht aan zelfvertrouwen. Joepie! 😉

Level Up Your Life - Hoe krijg ik grip op mijn zelfvertrouwen?

Als we gaan spreken over iets vaag zoals zelfvertrouwen, is het nuttig om te starten met een definitie:

"Het vertrouwen in de eigen kracht." (Van Dale)

Op andere plaatsen vind ik dat zelfvertrouwen het gevoel van eigenwaarde is. Letterlijk betekent het het vertrouwen van een persoon in zichzelf, in dat wat hij of zij kan.

En dat is wat mij hard heeft geholpen in de benadering en definiëring van dit vage concept:

De King of Happiness en de Queen of Connection - happily ever after?

De langste studie ooit (80 jaar en lopende) heeft aangetoond dat onze relaties één van de belangrijkste voorspellers zijn van ons geluk 🤗.

We zijn gemeenschapsbeestjes en goede relaties helpen ons door moeilijke momenten, geven ons plezier, en zijn blijkbaar betere voorspellers van geluk én een lang gezond leven dan IQ, sociale stand, en zelfs onze genen 🤔.
