0:00if I asked you what life looks like for
0:03the bestest version of you how would you
0:05describe it do they wake up early or do
0:08they wake up late who do they spend time
0:10with what do they do for a living what
0:11are their values what makes them happy
0:14now ask yourself if your current self
0:17aligns with this version now don't worry
0:19if it doesn't because in this video we
0:21are going to talk about how you can
0:22bridge the gap between your current self
0:25and your best self now I have given this
0:27a 60-day or an 8 we timeline because
0:30that is often enough to get you in the
0:31groove to get you moving to get you
0:33started with this journey that can help
0:35you unlock your full potential level up
0:37your life and become the person that
0:39you've always wanted to become now this
0:41is going to be very different from any
0:42other video you've probably seen on this
0:44topic so I would suggest that you take
0:46notes save this video so that you can
0:48come back to it again and again and
0:50subscribe and let's get started with
0:52transforming ourselves part one of this
0:54video is understanding what our truest
0:57and bestest version looks like so we're
1:00going to start by creating a road maps
1:02of the habits and the routines that our
1:04bestest version aligns with now I'm not
1:06getting into specific habits here
1:08because these can look different for
1:10different people but to make things
1:12easier think of the top four or five
1:14qualities that your best version
1:16identifies with that you think you will
1:19have as your best test self and now we
1:22want to chalk out the habits and the
1:23routines that will help us get aligned
1:26to these identities these qualities
1:28right for example my bestest version is
1:31super fit super healthy and she loves
1:33her body for whatever it is right so now
1:36to reach these qualities to reach this
1:39state I will have to build a routine
1:41that incorporates exercise eating
1:43healthy and working on my body mind set
1:46so once you've identified the qualities
1:48the traits that you want to embody as
1:49your bestest self and you've chocked out
1:51the habits and routines that you need to
1:53figure out in order to get to those
1:55habits the next thing we're going to do
1:57is describe an ideal day in the life
1:59life of your bestest self I absolutely
2:02love this exercise because it allows you
2:04to visualize what life can look like for
2:07you when you are functioning at your
2:10highest self so what you're going to do
2:12is you are going to take 1 hour out of
2:14your Sunday or your Saturday whenever
2:16you have free time next and you are
2:18going to sit and visualize what a day in
2:21the life of your best self looks like
2:23think of everything that your best test
2:25highest version would do on their ideal
2:28day and of course this doesn't have to
2:30be an action-packed think you're not
2:32jotting down things to the minute right
2:34you know that you wake up from 6:00 a.m.
2:36to 7:00 a.m. that's not what I'm talking
2:37about you could be on a beach sipping
2:40Margarita as if that is your jam right I
2:42want you to really go deep into this
2:44exercise and think from a place of
2:46fulfillment and contentment you know
2:49imagine a day when you are at your
2:50happiest when your bestest self is at
2:52their happiest and think from that
2:55perspective because we attract what we
2:58embody once you're in that Zone just
3:00list out the activities you see yourself
3:02doing and I'm specifically saying
3:04activities because these are the
3:06activities that will eventually build up
3:08your routine for instance when I think
3:10of my bestest self I imagine her waking
3:13up early doing a visualization gratitude
3:16practice and drinking coffee in her very
3:19fancy mug and then she goes for her hot
3:22girl workout she looks absolutely Banger
3:25and she has these really nice gym
3:27fits and once she's back from her
3:30workouts she has a delicious breakfast
3:32that's prepared by an in-house Chef then
3:35she has this luxurious shower and then
3:37gets to work and so on right so I'm not
3:40getting into more details because then
3:41that will make this video exceptionally
3:43long but you get the idea now once you
3:45have that list of activities that your
3:47best self would be indulging in you are
3:50going to identify the gaps in your
3:53current lifestyle in your current way of
3:55thinking that are preventing you from
3:58getting here for for instance if I want
4:00food prepared by a private Chef I need
4:03to be able to spend more money to hire a
4:05private Chef right now then the thing
4:07that is stopping me from getting a
4:09private Chef to make all my meals is
4:12money on the other hand I don't have
4:14cute gym fits right now or so I would
4:17like to believe and the reason for this
4:19is because I'm still working on my body
4:20mindset and I'm still working on my
4:22fitness and I would really like to look
4:24like hot in those gym fits so I am
4:27waiting to get to a stage where I I'm
4:29happy with my body so that I can be
4:32happy putting on those gym fits so these
4:34are the gaps that are currently there in
4:37me achieving that aspect of my best test
4:41self now when it comes to working out
4:43for example even though I work out
4:44regularly there are days when I will
4:46relax there are days when I will not
4:47follow my diet very properly and so I
4:49know that those are the gaps that are
4:52preventing me from getting here as soon
4:54as possible now identifying these gaps
4:56is such a huge factor in our us
4:59realizing how to get to our best C
5:01because if you're not doing this and
5:03you're constantly striving for a goal
5:05but you're not figuring out what's
5:06holding you back you're never going to
5:08be able to overcome these factors that
5:10are actually holding you back now once
5:13you've identified the gaps the only
5:14thing that's left to do is get down to
5:16work to bridge those gaps and in the
5:18next section we are going to figure out
5:20how we can make this very easy to do how
5:23we can actually make the process of
5:24bridging this Gap a lot easier than it
5:27otherwise would be whenever we are
5:30trying to build a positive habit or a
5:32positive routine discipline is one part
5:35of the equation the other part is
5:37motivation and people will often tell
5:39you that you know you should not focus
5:40on motivation because it's fleeting and
5:42focus only on discip but my dear friends
5:45to get discipline to initially take that
5:47plunge also requires motivation or
5:49willpower so what I mean by building a
5:52motivation routine is building a short
5:5410minute quick practice that actually
5:57gets you pumped up to take action and
5:59it's extremely extremely useful on days
6:02when you are feeling low when you just
6:03feel like skipping on that workout or on
6:05eating that healthy meal this 10 minute
6:07routine can get you back in the groove
6:09and fired up to actually take the
6:11actions that you need to take so for me
6:13this looks like making a cup of coffee
6:15and watching a short motivational video
6:17this is one of my favorite ones every
6:19time that I'm feeling low I switch this
6:22on I play this for 5 minutes and it gets
6:24me fired right up of course it takes a
6:27little bit of time to arrive at what is
6:29the
6:30perfect combination of things that can
6:31act as a motivation for you or a
6:33motivator for you uh for a lot of people
6:36it can be just going for a walk you know
6:38I have friends who do that who whenever
6:40they're feeling low or lazy or whatever
6:42they'll go for a 10-minute walk and that
6:43fires up the endorphins and they end up
6:45feeling a lot more motivated so what I
6:47want you to do is just look back on the
6:49past couple of days and see what are the
6:52little things around you that push you
6:55to take action it could be a Post-It
6:58that you put on the wall it could be and
6:59a motivational video it could be going
7:02for a walk it could be just doing 10
7:04Jumping Jacks in your house and I want
7:06you to list out activities that you
7:08don't necessarily notice but if you look
7:11back you figure out that these actually
7:12push you to get that little extra boost
7:15of motivation fill out those activities
7:17list them down and see which of those
7:19can be done in under 10 minutes and that
7:22actually becomes your motivation routine
7:24so whenever you're feeding low whenever
7:25you're procrastinating that is the
7:27specific set of activities that you do
7:29and you get fired up to take action
7:31again and this comes in super handy
7:33whenever you are just going to bail on
7:36the promises that you made it the next
7:38step is going to be building emotional
7:40resilience a lot of times in life we are
7:43held back because of our emotions either
7:45because we are too happy either because
7:47we are too sad and we're not able to
7:49control those emotions long enough to be
7:52able to take a practical approach or to
7:55take a good decision a decision that is
7:57actually good for us emotions can quite
7:59literally overtake our whole lives and
8:02I'm not saying that feeling your
8:03emotions is a bad thing all I'm saying
8:05is that sometimes in life we need to
8:07figure out a way to overcome these
8:09emotional urges to overcome these
8:11feelings so that we can continue to do
8:13what we set out to do building emotional
8:16resilience is all about this the first
8:18thing you need to do here is create and
8:21uphold your boundaries and these are not
8:23just boundaries with other people but
8:24boundaries with yourself which means
8:26that if you make a promise to yourself
8:29you to keep it because the more promises
8:31you keep to yourself the more your self
8:33trust builds and that improves your
8:35confidence as well start out with your
8:37smaller promises ones that take the
8:40minimal effort to fulfill and uphold
8:42that boundary if you have told yourself
8:44that I am going to go for a walk every
8:47single day no matter if it's raining if
8:49it's sunny if it's cloudy if you are sad
8:51if you're angry if you're anxious this
8:53one thing this one promise that you have
8:55told yourself that you're going to
8:56fulfill every single day you do it no
8:58matter what and that is how you start to
9:02uphold your boundaries the boundaries
9:03that you have created and it has a
9:06trickle down effect once you start doing
9:08it with one thing it snowballs into
9:10doing it with other things in life once
9:11you realize how beneficial this is for
9:13you in life you will automatically want
9:16to uphold your own boundaries in
9:18whichever areas you set your boundaries
9:20the next thing and this is one of my
9:22go-tos for emotional resilience is to
9:25remember the fact that this two shall
9:28pass
9:30and I have this written in my phone I
9:33have it written on my vision board
9:36whether I'm going through something
9:37extremely happy extremely good whether
9:39I'm going through something that's
9:40extremely sad I keep reminding myself of
9:43this one
9:46thing and that gives you a sense of
9:48Detachment that doesn't come from
9:50anything else because if you know that
9:53this is going to pass you automatically
9:56hold on to it less you you experience it
9:59you enjoy it but you don't hold on to it
10:02for dear life the third thing that is
10:04very very important for building
10:05emotional resilience is finding a
10:07healthy Outlet to vent now we all feel
10:11emotions they are a very fundamental
10:13intrinsic part of Being Human which is
10:15why you need to find a healthy Outlet
10:18event it can be journaling it can be
10:20doing MMA it can be going running for me
10:22it's a mix of working out and journaling
10:25journaling coming first obviously
10:28because writing I I found helps me vent
10:30like nothing else ever does so um I
10:33already have a video on journaling if
10:34you want to check out how to write a
10:36journal for processing your emotions uh
10:39but yes you need to figure out what is a
10:40healthy outlet for you to vent it can be
10:42Sports it can be dancing it can be em
10:45EFT tapping it can be junling whatever
10:47it is because if you can't V you'll just
10:50keep building things up like a pressure
10:51cooker and just burst one day and that
10:54is not being emotionally resilient at
10:57all and finally I want you guys to to
10:59build a visualization and a grounding
11:00practice to build emotional resilience
11:03uh this is kind of like affirmations
11:05visualizations is kind of like
11:06affirmations where you sit down and you
11:08visualize yourself as a calm composed
11:11detached and Collective person I do a
11:14visualization practice every single day
11:16and it remains consistent like the
11:18visualization or the thing that I'm
11:20visualizing remains consistent for a
11:23period of time till I achieve that
11:24visualization and then I move on to the
11:26next one so if you are trying to get
11:27detached if you are trying try to gain
11:30more control over your emotions uh a
11:32good visualization practice to do is to
11:34sit down with your eyes closed for 5 to
11:3610 minutes and imagine yourself as this
11:38person who is extremely calm composed
11:41detached does not get bothered has
11:43healthy Outlets to vent you know however
11:45you want your best test self to be when
11:48it comes to emotional resilience trust
11:50me this is one of the best things that
11:52you can do for yourself now please keep
11:54in mind that building emotional
11:55resilience can take months can take
11:57years depending on how often and how
11:59well you practice these things and what
12:01your internal makeup is like you know
12:03what kind of a person you internally are
12:05that of course is a factor but if you
12:07start doing these practices it will help
12:10you become more emotionally resilient
12:11than you currently are for sure the next
12:14thing we need to do after this is
12:16getting rid of Self Doubt we are all
12:19human we don't always feel confident we
12:21have periods of self-doubt that is very
12:23intrinsic that is very natural to being
12:26a human person a human being but it's
12:29how we deal with these feelings of
12:31self-doubt that separate Achievers or
12:34successful people from those who just
12:36dream about what they want to do right
12:39and we want to be Achievers we want to
12:40be the doers and not just the dreamers
12:43there's a very popular quote from Tony
12:45Robbins in this regard and he says that
12:47I don't have to get rid of the fear I
12:49just have to learn how to dance with it
12:51and I absolutely love this because
12:53facing self-doubt is actually like
12:55learning to dance with that fear that
12:58you have about about yourself so the
13:00practices that can help you overcome
13:02self-doubt and the ones that I have used
13:04in the past as well number one is having
13:07an achievements list now you can do this
13:10by writing stuff on Post-its and putting
13:12it in a jar or you can just do this by
13:14writing your achievements down in a
13:16journal or in your notes app or wherever
13:19it is something that is very easily
13:22accessible so if you have it on your
13:23iPad like I do you have a separate
13:25notebook which is just for your
13:26achievements and every time you achieve
13:28something you go write it down in that
13:31what I also tend to do is whenever
13:33people leave nice comments and they tell
13:35me something nice about my content about
13:37my work I will screenshot it and then
13:39put it in this notebook and whenever I
13:42am feeling low whenever I have periods
13:44of self-doubt if I look at somebody else
13:46and I think oh my God how will I ever
13:48get there you know I don't know how to
13:50do XYZ I will look at that notebook and
13:54you know that is such an instant pickme
13:56up that is such an instant qu of all
13:59kinds of self-doubt and I also use this
14:02in my motivation routine when I'm
14:05feeling unmotivated because of
14:07self-doubt and it works 100% of the time
14:10the second thing here and this is super
14:11super important is to do the thing that
14:13is generating that feeling of self-doubt
14:15for instance if I look at somebody doing
14:19a course on YouTube and I doubt myself
14:22that I can't do this the only way for me
14:25to show my brain that I can do this is
14:27to actually go ahead and the thing and
14:29then I will have data points my brain
14:31will have data points I can either do
14:33that thing right or I absolutely can't
14:37if I absolutely can't I can actually
14:38begin to move on and try something else
14:41and if I can then my self-doubt is
14:43automatically quashed you know this
14:46sounds
14:47like but it's actually not because often
14:51the feelings or the things that generate
14:52self-doubt in us are very very small and
14:5590% of the times there are things that
14:57we can actually overcome and do very
15:00very easily so the more we do things
15:02that generate self-doubt the Lesser
15:04self-doubt we will have and finally you
15:07want to change the way that you talk to
15:10yourself and you talk about yourself and
15:13the way the only way that I found that
15:15is helpful to do this is via
15:17affirmations you can listen to
15:18affirmations you can write down
15:19affirmations you can speak affirmations
15:21out loud if you suffer from self-doubt
15:23there are so many specific affirmations
15:25on Pinterest on YouTube that you can
15:27actually find link a couple down below
15:30so that you have easier access go ahead
15:32write them down every single day till
15:35the way that you talk about yourself and
15:37the way that you talk to yourself
15:38changes because the way we speak about
15:40ourself is actually what defines our
15:42identity and if I constantly keep saying
15:45I'm not good at this or I can't do this
15:47oh my God you are so much better at this
15:49and I can't really do this if I keep
15:51saying things like this about myself to
15:53other people that is the narrative that
15:55I'm building up in my head and that will
15:56never let myself doubt work away the
15:59next step is to learn how to spend time
16:02by yourself most of us spend time by
16:05ourselves because we have to not because
16:08we want to and most of us are not good
16:10at it either if you learn how to spend
16:13time by yourself and enjoy your own
16:14company that is the fastest route to
16:17self-growth and this doesn't mean that
16:19you have to be a loner or not spend any
16:21time socializing at all this just means
16:23that you don't let those things become a
16:26crutch you don't let those things become
16:28something that you cannot survive
16:29without so a couple of ways that you can
16:31do this is to one get off social media
16:34and to get off your phone and to try new
16:35hobbies anything that involves not doing
16:39things on your phone another thing you
16:41can do is plan dates for yourself just
16:43like you would plan a date with a
16:44boyfriend or a girlfriend or a friend
16:46even right take out the time plan your
16:49whole activity out take yourself out to
16:51a nice restaurant maybe a nice movie and
16:53this will actually truly tell you what
16:56other things that you enjoy doing for
16:57instance whenever I go on dates by
16:59myself I absolutely love Asian food so I
17:02will go to a Ramen place for instance or
17:04I will go to a place that sells really
17:06nice pizza or whatever and then I'll eat
17:09it by myself I'll enjoy it with my own
17:11company and that is the most satisfying
17:14experience in the whole world because
17:15you don't have to order on the basis of
17:17other people's preferences you can take
17:18yourself out to wherever you want you
17:20can have whatever budget you want there
17:22are no social commitments or constraints
17:25and it is the most liberating thing in
17:27the world another thing is to take time
17:29out for self-care I already have that
17:3160-day glowup video so that can give you
17:33a lot of ideas on how to take care of
17:34yourself but taking out time for
17:36self-care essentially means that you
17:38have a couple of minutes or half an hour
17:41in the day reserved just to get yourself
17:44in that zone of relaxation where you are
17:46content with your life where content
17:48with your body and your mind and you are
17:50at peace finally you want to practice
17:53self-reflection because spending time
17:55alone without reflection is just like
17:57scrolling on on social media and being
17:59mindless about it it's only when you
18:02reflect on your actions on your thought
18:03processes on how your day goes on how
18:06you react to situations that you
18:08actually learn about yourself so it
18:10doesn't have to be elaborate it doesn't
18:12have to be something that takes up all
18:13of your time it can be something as
18:15simple as just doing a journal entry for
18:1710 minutes a day or 5 minutes a day or
18:20writing one sentence or one paragraph in
18:22a day anything that allows you to look
18:25back on your day and think about the
18:27good bad and the Ugly now we come to the
18:30final step which is practicing
18:32contentment now true contentment comes
18:34from this deep-seated belief and feeling
18:37of accepting who you are and where you
18:39are at any given moment you might be
18:43thinking I have spoken about reaching
18:46your bestest self and becoming your
18:48highest self and now suddenly I'm
18:49talking about accepting wherever you are
18:51isn't that counter intive it's actually
18:53not because whenever we are striving to
18:56get to some place right it cannot happen
18:59if we are existing in a feeling of
19:02dissatisfaction if we are unhappy a lot
19:05of times when we try and change
19:07ourselves which is constantly by the way
19:09thanks to social media and thanks to
19:10everything
19:11else we have this idea in our head that
19:14having that thing or being that person
19:16or looking like that person is what is
19:18going to make us content and happy but
19:21that is not how happiness works that is
19:23not how contentment works right
19:25contentment is as much a practice and an
19:28intentional Choice as it is a state of
19:31being which means that you actively have
19:34to choose to be content with wherever
19:36you are while striving to grow to get to
19:38the next level because when you are
19:41happy here you are attracting more of
19:43that happiness when you are content here
19:46you are attracting more of that peace of
19:48mind in your life we want to make
19:50contentment and happiness a choice
19:52because I am very very sure that your
19:54highest bestest self actually wants to
19:57be content and happy and that actually
19:58starts now by accepting your current
20:01reality and being very very aware of it
20:04so a few things that you can do to make
20:06contentment a practice a habit number
20:08one is gratitude Jing because it allows
20:11you it forces your brain it trains your
20:13brain to look for things in your current
20:15state in your current environment that
20:17bring you Joy that you are grateful for
20:20that are making your life richer Fuller
20:23right and when you think of more of
20:25those things you attract more of those
20:26things you manifest more of those
20:28feelings and that state and that's what
20:30you want to do second thing you want to
20:31do is not act on emotions now again this
20:34ties in with our emotional resilience
20:36point which is whenever you are feeling
20:39any sort of extreme emotion which
20:40whether it's happiness whether it's
20:42sadness postpone your decision making
20:44till you are in a balanced emotional
20:47state because when we are too happy for
20:50instance we tend to overestimate how
20:52things will look in the future and when
20:54we are too sad we tend to underestimate
20:56how things will look in the future and
20:57we don't want want to make decisions in
20:59that space next thing stop buying things
21:02that you don't need stop giving into
21:04consumerism buying new things is not
21:05going to make you happier it's not going
21:07to make you fulfilled it's just a
21:08substitution for that lack that we feel
21:11inside most of the times go ahead look
21:14inwards figure out why you feel this
21:16need to keep buying things continuously
21:18and then act on those next thing is to
21:21tackle emotional eating and this is such
21:23a chronic problem I am an emotional
21:24eater whenever I'm sad overwhelmed
21:26anxious whatever eating is like my go-to
21:28default thing and I crave chocolate and
21:30all those things I have learned to
21:32control that to a huge extent so
21:34whenever I'm craving this sort of food
21:37that I know is not nourishing for my
21:38body I will question myself I'll take a
21:40pause I'll question myself and ask why
21:42do I really want this am I feeling
21:44stressed out am I feeling anxious and if
21:46I know that I'm feeling stressed out is
21:48there some other way that I can deal
21:50with that stress instead of going and
21:53picking up a chocolate often times that
21:55is and I do take that action now it's
21:58been a journey but I've gotten to this
21:59point and finally you want to actively
22:01practice finding the joy in the little
22:03things you can do a weekly exercise
22:05where you sit down and you notice
22:07everything around yourself try and pick
22:09out five things around yourself in the
22:11room in the park wherever that you had
22:13not seen before this is one exercise the
22:16second exercise is to sit down and to
22:18look at the objects around you look at
22:20the things around you the people around
22:21you and ask yourself if they bring you
22:23Joy and if they do why they bring you
22:26Joy it will teach you to appreciate the
22:28little moments a little bit more and you
22:30will be a lot better off because of it
22:33now quickly I will recap everything that
22:35we have discussed today so that you have
22:37sort of a road map and you know what
22:39goes where we started by identifying the
22:42habits and the routines that we need to
22:44build to reach our highest bestest self
22:48then we described the ideal day in the
22:51life of our highest bestest self and
22:54this allowed us to figure out what are
22:56the gaps that are there in our current
22:58lifestyle in our current life that are
23:00stopping us from reaching this best test
23:03self in the next set of steps we start
23:04by building a motivation routine that
23:06pumps us up whenever we are feeling down
23:08whenever we feeling lazy or
23:09procrastinating the next thing is we are
23:11taking measures to build emotional
23:13resilience so that Emotions Don't hold
23:15us back from taking the actions that get
23:17us to where we want to go then we work
23:20on getting rid of our self-doubt taking
23:22measures so that self outb is not the
23:24thing that's holding us back from teing
23:25where we want to go after that we learn
23:27to spend time
23:28by ourselves because that is super
23:30important to figure out where it is that
23:32we really want to go and you know how we
23:34can get there finally we practice
23:35contentment in the present to attract
23:37similar things in the future so that is
23:40your road map right there you can take a
23:41screenshot you can of course come back
23:43to this video whenever you want and that
23:45was it for today's videos my lovely
23:47lovely people this was different from
23:49the usual best self videos that you'll
23:51see because they'll talk about a set of
23:52habits that you actually need to build
23:54but I didn't see anywhere people talking
23:56about how to build those habits we all
23:59know that you know we need to exercise
24:01more and eat healthy and I've spoken
24:02about those things in my videos in the
24:04past but how do you actually do those
24:07how do you tackle the things that hold
24:08you back from actually doing those
24:10things that is what we have covered in
24:12today's video I hope you found this
24:14helpful and um take care of yourselves I
24:17will see you guys very very soon with
24:19another one
24:22bye
