Achievement Versus Fulfillment

Healthy living and discovering internal motivation was the theme of the podcast of Tim Ferris. Ferris interviewed a well-known motivational speaker, Tony Robbins. The essence of the podcast was designed to ask Tony Robbins about the strategies he uses when feeling unmotivated. Tony Robbins identified specific measures that he considers when trying to shift stagnant feelings. Robbins mentioned specific professionals that have met with him and Robbins was able to help famous people reach their “flow state.” Robbins also indicated that using a trampoline or jumping in freezing water, seems to be helpful in changing the mind and the body. Getting “physical in an intense dramatic way encourages the creativity.”

The fundamental theme that was shared during the podcast, was that it is important to find what motivates you and implement it when in need. I believe that this is at the core of healthy living and healthy choices. In order for a person to effectively lend to change, the person needs to really understand themselves. Additionally, the podcast discussed a practical method of building on the self while implementing real-time suggestions. Robbins communicated that asking open questions are critically important. This type of questioning is important because it will offer the listener with a good understanding of the individual. Healthy living suggests understanding the “driving force,” which can be conceptualized as core self.

Overall, the podcast was informative and offered good examples and suggestions specific to healthy living. The podcast and the statements made by Robbins was inspiring and authentic. Essentially, the podcast can be summarized as working on the self to achieve better clarity through action planning.
