UNLIMITED POWER FOLLOW UP. It has been 10 days after I attended the one-day seminar Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins. Well I would like to share more of his beliefs and passion.
Anthony Robbins has successfully used his skills, knowledge and personal power to obtain the success, presence, body, energy, and physique that he well-deserves. Although Anthony Robbins remains a legendary motivational speaker, he admits that his techniques are rather “damn basic” and certainly not “heavy”.
Believe In Your Mind Metaphor. The mind and the body are totally related. The first thing to do with everybody is put them in a peak state of mind. We all have states of mind where you say something; and then after you’ve said it you think, “I can’t believe I said that. That was so stupid. That was so dumb.” Then we have other times where afterwards we say, “Wow, I like it. I don’t know how I did it, but I like it.”
Well, it’s not based on ability, but it’s based on the state you’re in. The state you’re in is directly related to the way you use your physiology, your body. If you take somebody who’s depressed, and you look at their body, they always have similar physiology: Their head and shoulders are down. Their breathing is shallow. They talk slowly, they don’t punctuate their words, and their voice trails off.
If you take that same person and stand them up, put their shoulders back, and talk to them with an explosive breath, you will have them talking quicker, they will start to punctuate their words or their gestures, and you will see an instant change in their biochemistry.
It’s not just the way they feel in the moment; it’s knowing the triggers in the body that will put the person in that state. That’s why when people work out, they tend to be in a much stronger emotional state, which they will become physically as well. That’s why the two cannot be separate you can do something in a matter of seconds and change somebody in a moment.
What we can create is instantaneous. Now if you want lasting change and not just a spark, you’ve got to build that into your physiology. How fast can that be? It depends on the individual. It’s something you can build enormous momentum on in a weekend if you do it day and night.
“How long does it take to get good at something?” He always ask them, ”How long do you want it to take?” If you do it once a month, maybe it will take you twelve months; if you do it once a week, maybe it will take you four weeks. If you do it a couple of times a day, maybe it will take you two weeks. If you do it all day long, you can do it in two or three days and anchor it in.
People discover what it is that they want, what’s stopping then, what’s preventing them, and most importantly, they discover how to turn themselves on to produce that result right away.
That’s one of the reasons why Anthony Robbins use the fire walk. To get somebody in front of a fire, and they don’t know how confident are. When they are in front of 2,000-degree fire, they get an emotional state change.
In a nutshell, the beliefs and ideas in the self-help books of Anthony Robbins can be summarized in the following outline:
1. Neural Linguistic Programming (Learn by engaging the nervous system; information without emotion is not retained.)
2. Mind Mapping
3. Creative Visualization
4. Daily Affirmations
5. Vegetarianism
6. Clear goals that are dissected into smaller milestones
7. Exercise; Move your body!
8. Budget your money
9. Work diligently
10. Read; Turn off the television
According to Anthony Robbins, if an individual wishes to see results in life, five SIMPLE changes must be made:
1. RAISE YOUR STANDARDS
For example, how many people have you stayed in a personal relationship way too long? One’s daily affirmation must be, “Every day, I demand more from myself more than any other human being in the world.”
The shoulds in one’s life ought to changed into musts. Human beings always got what they have, not earning their goals because they are SHOULD, your body is a reflection of your MUST.
2. CHANGE YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS
Create a unique identity and constantly live it. Model the best that exists. Look for something when you want. If you live with passion, then people will follow you.
The Secret is to change your BELIEF. Your Mind sees it enough more times, you can make it possible. Close your eyes and fingers pointing, Live it by seeing it and conditioning it in your mind over and over again.
3. MODEL THE STRATEGIES THAT WORKS
Understand the power of the physiological state. Healthy physiological habits, such as exercising daily and eating vegetables, provide a strong foundation that ensures the most powerful foundation from which one can work.
A healthy body that is in its peace physiological state allows an individual more efficiently deal with work, family and academic affairs. Never forget the importance of first impressions. If a person does not like you within the first five seconds of meeting you, then s/he will wish not to do business with you.
Successful advertisers do not sell a product; they sell a state to its audience using tools such as music, food and sex. Like the successful advertiser and successful athlete (e.g. Andre Agassi), successful leaders have altered their physiological states in order to use their minds more efficiently.
Following are tips on altering one’s physiological state:
-Use more oxygen
-Move the body
-Speak louder
-Smile
-Sing
4. INCREASE YOUR EMOTIONAL INTENSITY TO A HIGHER LEVEL
Life is always lovely and happy when work, family and academic affairs peacefully fall into place. However destiny is shaped when you lose momentum. Train and build up your emotional muscle. Get into your Peak State when you think you are feeling down.
The ability to instantly change your state of mind, so that you’re absolutely certain and get yourself to take action in that moment when everything in your body is freaking out–it’s what it’s all about. It’s being in the emotional state to get yourself to step through anything you’re afraid of, and storm through it. People can use it for the rest of their lives. And they come to that end and condition their body, so they can use it at will.
5. GIVE MUCH MORE THAN YOU EXPECT TO RECEIVE
Leaders give, while followers receive. The secret to living is giving. Simple. This also happens to be the secret to genuine happiness.
Anthony Robbins was successful in motivating everyone and bringing everyone to a higher level or peak of state. I learned a lot, and I had never seen the audience so fired up…It was incredible!” Robbins’ shortest weekend seminar runs fifty hours. Yet, Robbins beautifully condensed his ultra-marathon program into three hours.
Perhaps one must be in an absolute state of hopelessness and depression to truly appreciate his motivational power. However, Anthony Robbins is one of the most underrated personalities in popular culture.
His life message is simple, yet important. He reminds us that life is a gift-not a chore. We must stop moaning about our busy and tiring lives. A strong and positive attitude is paramount for every leader. An individual’s FOCUS in life represents his reality, even if it is not reality!
