Hi all, we started a talk about Tony / Anthony Robbins in another topic. Let's continue the discussion here.

[Faroth]

We talked about this free book at another topic, so I decided to put link to it here too.

Book seems to be shorter and maybe a little updated version of Awaken The Giant Within, as the name suggests. Haven't red the original book but with this one I'm already half way through.

Download is available for eReaders, iOS devices, pdf etc.

Procyona, thanks for creating this topic.

Here is the book I mentioned: https://www.tonyrobbins.com/ebook/ and description about it.   

[Procyona]

Thank you guys

Have you done the exercises in the book? How did it affect to your being and actions?

I loved the use of metaphors in Awaken the Giant Within, and found a very suitable set for my own to use in work and personal life. When ever I loom, I can just change a metaphor, and my approach changes as well. Words are powerful things

Also, the last part about commitments and dreams hit me. Very good for making dreams come reality, if you are just willing to work for them.

I remember that audio book changed my thoughts. I can not say what exactly was changed, because typically I learn in couple of sources along. I think I will say you results after I complete current Tony 30 days program Personal Power 2 - where exercises are given each day!   

[Procyona]

That course sounds very awesome. Have a blast with those 30 days, vmashchenko!

This video was my first touch with Mr. Robbins. Still enlights me about the simplicity of human mind.

I'm on the 10 day mental diet challenge.

There are 4 rules:

Rule 1. In the next 10 consecutive days, refuse to dwell on any unresourceful thoughts or feelings. Refuse to indulge in any disempowering questions or devitalizing vocabulary or metaphors.

Rule 2. When you catch yourself beginning to focus on the negative – and you certainly will – you are to immediately snap yourself out of it and change your thinking or state. You can do this by asking an empowering question, such as “What’s great about this?” or “What else could this mean?”. Or you can reframe any negative thoughts that come up, for example, if you catch yourself saying “I suck”, you would replace it with, “I’m awesome!” There are some powerful techniques that you can use in a blog post I wrote on how to master your emotions. In addition, you can set yourself up for success each morning for the next 10 days by developing a morning ritual to get yourself in a peak emotional state each day.

Rule 3. For the next 10 consecutive days, make certain that your whole focus in life is on solutions and not problems. The minute you see a possible challenge, immediately focus on what the solution could be.

Rule 4. If you backslide – that is, if you catch yourself indulging in or dwelling on an unresourceful thought or feeling – don’t beat yourself up. There’s no problem with this as long as you change immediately. However, if you continue to dwell on unrsourceful thoughts or feelings for more than a minute, you must wait until the following morning to start the ten days over. The goal of this program is 10 consecutive days without holding or dwelling on a negative thought or state. This starting-over process must happen no matter how many days in a row you’ve already accomplished the task.

Before I got started, I thought this was going to be easy, but it has been quite the opposite. Didn't know there's so lot of unresourceful thoughts or feelings going in my head, beating me down or holding me back.

For me the challenge is not going to be over after I complete the 10 days. I'm going to stick with this as I can already see the benefits in everyday life.

"Never spend more than 10% of your time on the problem, and spend at least 90% of your time on the solution."

Great to hear and thank you for sharing, Ville-Pekka! What are the benefist you see in everyday life? Thank you!   

[Faroth]

[Procyona]

Good determination with the process, Ville-Pekka! I know you can do it.   

[Procyona]

I started my ten-day mental challenge yesterday and have found it very inspiring. You need to be very committed to work trough every thought that does not get you forward. Very deep a process. >:)

Have any of you on the forum got trough this or some other challenge of Mr. Robbins?

[vmashchenko]

Faroth,

Thanks for sharing 10-days challenge!

> Have any of you on the forum got trough this or some other challenge of Mr. Robbins?

Actually, I passed 10-days challenge after Tony's UPW seminar. This challenge was about healthy eating, breathing and physical activity.
