FIX YOUR LIFE! | Joe Rogan

A lot of people say oh I just want to sort of, they are kinda; They're dabbling in the idea of improving themselves. And the real way to do it is you got to write down what the f*** you want and then go after it. If you decide I'm gonna get down to (bang!

). I'm gonna do this, i'm gonna run a marathon in less than five hours. I'm gonna you know, whatever the f*** it is You got to write that s*** down and go for it.

Well my workout I schedule every Sunday. I schedule everything that I'm going to do during the week. I say I have to do yoga two times this week.

I have to lift weights three times this week. I have to run twice this week and However I fit that in I fit it in but I owe those things. And you don't need two and a half hours.

You can get a great workout in 40 minutes, and that's all you need for the whole day 100%. You know this idea of time, like how much time did you put in today? Like you could work out in a bulls*** manner for two hours and not get nearly as much done as you can for a half hour hard just running.

So I have to get those things and the only exceptions are injuries and sickness. I do everything that I can to put my body and my brain in a good place. So that I'm keeping my engine smooth.

I'm changing my oil. I'm changing my sparkplug. So I'm making sure that it's operating I mean, it's not gonna be perfect.

But; -Yeah -I know that I've done my best to keep it working the best that they can. There's consequences that you pay to Constantly seeking comfort and and avoiding discomfort and avoiding hard work. And those consequences are you're never gonna feel self-realized.

You're never gonna feel like you accomplished anything. You're never gonna have this feeling of understanding that difficulty and struggle and and the ability to push through that is a muscle. And you develop that muscle by doing it and once you do you develop a Lot of self-satisfaction and you develop peace of mind and you you understand that you can overcome obstacles.

If you don't have to overcome obstacles, you never know whether or not you can. Unless you are faced with actual adversity; you don't understand how you're gonna feel and how you're gonna react when you overcome that adversity. Things that are difficult when you do these difficult things you're stressing your mind or; not stressing your mind; exercising your mind and exercising your body's ability to manage intense situations.

It's hard. It's very difficult. It's very testing and in doing so; you You lessen the stress of regular life.

The more stressful situations that I experience the more I understand what they are and the more I can relax. But it's also like the matter of constantly being; exposed to these stressful situations where there's not a long break in between doing stand-up. Or a long break in between martial arts training.

To the point where anxiety can build up. And then once you get into it It's almost an it's an unusual situation instead of an usual one. What I tell people is the best advice I've ever heard the best advice I ever came up with is it live your life like you're the hero in your movie.

And right now is when the f****** movie starts and your life is a s*** bag disaster. Pretend you are; right now; you are in the part of the movie that starts and it shows you as a fucking loser. And just decide not to be a loser.

Live your life like there is a documentary crew, following you around. And you are analyzing your own being. Do what you want to do so your kids one day would look back at it and see that documentary.

And look on it with pride like wow. My dad was a bad motherfucker. He really did what he had to do.

Wow. My mom really got her shit together. I'd love a success story but even more than a success story.

I like a dude who f**** his life up and then gets it back together again story. Those are my favorite stories and the way to do that. You got to write s*** down.

You got to think that you are the hero and your own f****** movie. And then you get to sit down and you got to write s*** down write down what you need to do.
