29 00:01:09,956 --> 00:01:10,916 I had a great weekend. 30 00:01:11,936 --> 00:01:17,006 I, uh, I, I, I refuse to comply, you know, what I did is like first week back 31 00:01:17,006 --> 00:01:20,696 at school and everybody's got, that said feeling like, oh, it's back at school now. 32 00:01:20,696 --> 00:01:20,816 And. 33 00:01:22,016 --> 00:01:23,396 Nine weeks of the term to go. 34 00:01:23,396 --> 00:01:24,206 And I'm like, you know what? 35 00:01:24,476 --> 00:01:25,586 I ain't going to play. 36 00:01:25,586 --> 00:01:26,666 I am playing with that. 37 00:01:26,666 --> 00:01:28,046 So I jumped on Airbnb. 38 00:01:28,436 --> 00:01:33,386 Booked this fantastic house in this remote location on the coast and 39 00:01:33,386 --> 00:01:35,126 said, Hey, Karen, he likes surprises. 40 00:01:35,546 --> 00:01:37,106 Do you like expensive surprises? 41 00:01:37,736 --> 00:01:41,036 And I mean, what wife, what wife could seriously resist. 42 00:01:41,066 --> 00:01:43,916 Has been going, I've just booked a really cool coastal house for 43 00:01:43,916 --> 00:01:44,876 us and the kids for the weekend. 44 00:01:44,876 --> 00:01:45,536 So we took off. 45 00:01:46,136 --> 00:01:50,186 Found this amazing place and had a fantastic time spearfishing. 46 00:01:51,476 --> 00:01:54,896 I was just saying to the people on another podcast, I do that, uh, you 47 00:01:54,896 --> 00:01:57,626 know, where we were sort of spearfishing. 48 00:01:58,106 --> 00:02:01,886 There's a big island off the coast, which is a famous place for great 49 00:02:01,886 --> 00:02:05,186 white sharks congregating because there's huge amounts of seals. 50 00:02:05,606 --> 00:02:08,276 So you can imagine how confident and comfortable I felt. 51 00:02:08,726 --> 00:02:11,306 In a wetsuit looking like a very slow seal. 52 00:02:12,206 --> 00:02:13,016 Uh, boy. 53 00:02:13,316 --> 00:02:15,476 My son was like, don't worry, dad, we've got the spear. 54 00:02:15,506 --> 00:02:16,706 And I'm like, mate. 55 00:02:16,766 --> 00:02:18,386 Uh, I love your optimism. 56 00:02:19,466 --> 00:02:20,336 Love your courage. 57 00:02:20,786 --> 00:02:24,206 I think that that speed is going to do a lot against, uh, against 58 00:02:24,206 --> 00:02:25,436 a great white, but we survived. 59 00:02:25,436 --> 00:02:25,766 We're here. 60 00:02:25,766 --> 00:02:26,156 We're back. 61 00:02:26,186 --> 00:02:27,176 I made it back to the studio. 62 00:02:27,656 --> 00:02:31,976 But a really great weekend and, uh, you know, One of my business mentors 63 00:02:31,976 --> 00:02:35,726 was saying to me recently, just, just how much they build relaxation. 64 00:02:36,326 --> 00:02:38,006 Breaks into their life. 65 00:02:38,846 --> 00:02:41,336 You know, no matter how much, you know, how much the situation 66 00:02:41,366 --> 00:02:43,316 is, you can always find some way. 67 00:02:43,916 --> 00:02:45,506 To rest replenish recover. 68 00:02:45,506 --> 00:02:48,116 And in this busy world we live in, we often fall into the habit 69 00:02:48,116 --> 00:02:49,556 of telling ourselves as story. 70 00:02:49,856 --> 00:02:50,906 I can't do this. 71 00:02:50,906 --> 00:02:51,896 I can't have a break. 72 00:02:51,896 --> 00:02:52,436 I can't. 73 00:02:52,856 --> 00:02:54,026 Take out a gym membership. 74 00:02:54,026 --> 00:02:56,906 I can't watch this movie or go to the cinema or. 75 00:02:57,446 --> 00:02:58,406 Go and do this thing. 76 00:02:58,406 --> 00:03:00,326 That's restful and restorative for me. 77 00:03:00,716 --> 00:03:02,216 And, uh, the truth is that. 78 00:03:02,606 --> 00:03:06,116 Doing these things, taking these breaks gives us the energy, the, uh, 79 00:03:06,146 --> 00:03:09,716 the inspiration, the creativity to, to press on and keep doing things now. 80 00:03:10,346 --> 00:03:11,756 Today, all I want to talk to you about. 81 00:03:12,326 --> 00:03:13,736 It's a very simple idea. 82 00:03:13,736 --> 00:03:14,966 And I just want to say it like this. 83 00:03:14,996 --> 00:03:15,536 There. 84 00:03:16,106 --> 00:03:19,496 Is always more. 85 00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:20,216 And by that. 86 00:03:20,696 --> 00:03:23,606 It's a regular theme for me, my regular listeners know that there's 87 00:03:23,636 --> 00:03:25,856 a few big themes that I keep coming back to what I want to talk about. 88 00:03:25,856 --> 00:03:26,246 This one. 89 00:03:27,026 --> 00:03:29,006 I think that much of the time. 90 00:03:29,666 --> 00:03:34,376 We ended up in situations where we tell ourselves either consciously or so 91 00:03:34,376 --> 00:03:35,906 quickly that we're not conscious of it. 92 00:03:36,266 --> 00:03:37,466 That this is all we can do that. 93 00:03:37,466 --> 00:03:39,926 This is as far as we go, this is we're at our limit. 94 00:03:39,926 --> 00:03:40,856 We can't do any more. 95 00:03:41,306 --> 00:03:44,906 And of course for me, these things often come through. 96 00:03:44,966 --> 00:03:47,696 So, you know, the amount of training that I do, the amount of exercise that I do. 97 00:03:48,326 --> 00:03:52,586 And so last week, Uh, you know, I usually do about 400 K a week on the 98 00:03:52,586 --> 00:03:54,176 bike and I'm, and I'm on the bike. 99 00:03:54,536 --> 00:03:55,766 Tuesday rode pretty well. 100 00:03:55,766 --> 00:03:59,606 Wednesday felt pretty weird because I hadn't written a lot recently. 101 00:04:00,296 --> 00:04:01,496 Thursday, I get out there. 102 00:04:02,516 --> 00:04:05,816 And I'm just like, and I'm telling myself this story, and I remember halfway through 103 00:04:05,816 --> 00:04:08,396 the ride, I'm talking to one of the guys and I'm like, Aw, man, I'm gassed. 104 00:04:08,396 --> 00:04:09,116 You know, like I've been. 105 00:04:09,896 --> 00:04:12,206 I haven't written as much and I've been doing other stuff and 106 00:04:12,206 --> 00:04:14,726 traveling and have been doing a lot of running and different things. 107 00:04:14,756 --> 00:04:15,716 I haven't been riding much. 108 00:04:15,716 --> 00:04:17,306 And I was telling this story to him about. 109 00:04:17,906 --> 00:04:18,446 Fatigue. 110 00:04:18,446 --> 00:04:22,016 And often when you do that, It, depending on who you hang around, like they'll, 111 00:04:22,016 --> 00:04:23,396 they'll reinforce your story, right. 112 00:04:23,396 --> 00:04:24,416 They'll be like, oh, Hey man. 113 00:04:24,716 --> 00:04:25,496 I totally get it. 114 00:04:25,826 --> 00:04:27,086 You ever been, you ever had that happen to you? 115 00:04:27,086 --> 00:04:29,906 You get around somebody who's like, you're telling them your, your story. 116 00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:31,106 You have a little pity party. 117 00:04:31,256 --> 00:04:34,226 You haven't, that you ever had one of those, a pity party to start with a self 118 00:04:34,226 --> 00:04:37,826 pity and then the other person chimes in with a, you think you've got it bad. 119 00:04:38,156 --> 00:04:40,556 And next thing you know, you're all, uh, having a pity party. 120 00:04:41,066 --> 00:04:44,246 So, you know, the ride goes on and we've got this one guy that rides with us. 121 00:04:44,246 --> 00:04:47,726 Who's an absolute, just the, just the giant, like he's incredibly strong 122 00:04:47,726 --> 00:04:49,316 rider, racist, professionally overseas. 123 00:04:49,316 --> 00:04:49,466 And. 124 00:04:50,576 --> 00:04:53,606 We're getting towards the end of the ride and it's normally pretty social 125 00:04:53,666 --> 00:04:55,406 and this guy starts behaving badly. 126 00:04:55,406 --> 00:04:56,606 I'm going to just put it out there, but. 127 00:04:56,666 --> 00:04:58,526 Behaving badly is how I describe it. 128 00:04:58,526 --> 00:05:02,006 Like breaking etiquette and just riding faster and faster and faster. 129 00:05:02,546 --> 00:05:05,906 And everybody's like, oh, this is about to go sideways. 130 00:05:06,656 --> 00:05:07,346 But, you know what. 131 00:05:08,006 --> 00:05:09,776 At that moment, I was like, oh, this is hard. 132 00:05:09,776 --> 00:05:11,006 This is this, this is that. 133 00:05:12,086 --> 00:05:14,576 And then once it kicked off, I'm like, there's something in me. 134 00:05:14,576 --> 00:05:15,866 That's like a ha. 135 00:05:16,436 --> 00:05:17,636 I'm like, oh, it's on. 136 00:05:18,296 --> 00:05:23,486 And I lit up and for the next sort of 10, 15 minutes of this ride. 137 00:05:23,486 --> 00:05:24,566 And it's a pretty long time. 138 00:05:24,596 --> 00:05:29,576 Like my max heart rate, theoretically at this age should be one 70. 139 00:05:30,656 --> 00:05:34,946 I was sitting on 180 6 for an extended period of time. 140 00:05:34,976 --> 00:05:35,336 Right. 141 00:05:35,366 --> 00:05:35,756 That's. 142 00:05:36,536 --> 00:05:38,786 At a, at my age now, I don't want an email. 143 00:05:38,786 --> 00:05:41,096 Some cardiologists telling me I'm setting a bad example. 144 00:05:41,096 --> 00:05:43,676 People are, all I can say to your friends is consult with your own healthcare 145 00:05:43,706 --> 00:05:47,936 professional, but I'm like, I've got a theoretical heart rate maximum of one 146 00:05:47,936 --> 00:05:50,006 70, and they're all sitting at 180 6. 147 00:05:50,636 --> 00:05:53,846 And just loving it, like absolutely wrecked and. 148 00:05:54,326 --> 00:05:56,906 Just trying to destroy everybody. 149 00:05:57,566 --> 00:05:59,006 Uh, gosh, you can hear my voice. 150 00:05:59,006 --> 00:06:02,216 Some of you going, Jonathan, you S so unhinged at like, this is not healthy. 151 00:06:02,876 --> 00:06:04,886 But what I do want to say. 152 00:06:05,306 --> 00:06:07,646 Is what I learned for the a hundred thousands time in 153 00:06:07,676 --> 00:06:09,176 that experience was this. 154 00:06:10,406 --> 00:06:11,606 You're always telling yourself a story. 155 00:06:11,606 --> 00:06:12,266 What was my story? 156 00:06:12,296 --> 00:06:13,046 I'm so tired. 157 00:06:13,046 --> 00:06:15,746 I haven't written so much, but when the, when the conditions are right and 158 00:06:15,746 --> 00:06:17,606 I was tested, I was like, oh, hang on. 159 00:06:18,476 --> 00:06:20,036 Hang on there's something in the basement. 160 00:06:20,036 --> 00:06:20,936 I haven't found there. 161 00:06:20,936 --> 00:06:21,746 It is, bring it out. 162 00:06:21,806 --> 00:06:23,336 And I went out it and. 163 00:06:24,056 --> 00:06:28,256 I want to say to every single one of you listening today, there is always 164 00:06:28,286 --> 00:06:32,186 more, I become a disciple over the last few years of a lot of that evolutionary 165 00:06:32,186 --> 00:06:34,046 psychology, evolutionary biology. 166 00:06:34,586 --> 00:06:37,556 You know, I heard a great speaker say a week or so ago that your brain. 167 00:06:37,886 --> 00:06:40,106 You know, it exists to help you survive. 168 00:06:40,106 --> 00:06:41,486 It doesn't exist to make you happy. 169 00:06:41,966 --> 00:06:44,906 You ever heard that your brain, our brains have only evolved 170 00:06:44,906 --> 00:06:47,276 for one single purpose survival. 171 00:06:47,276 --> 00:06:50,546 You could argue maybe reproduction as well, but you know, survival and, 172 00:06:50,546 --> 00:06:51,866 and, and it wants you to survive. 173 00:06:51,866 --> 00:06:52,856 So you can reproduce. 174 00:06:52,856 --> 00:06:56,186 I mean, at the most basic evolutionary biological level, that's, what's going on. 175 00:06:56,636 --> 00:07:01,016 So your brain isn't interested in peak performance or, or, you know, making 176 00:07:01,016 --> 00:07:04,406 you happy or taking you in a new level of existence and performance, because 177 00:07:04,406 --> 00:07:05,426 it just wants to keep your life. 178 00:07:06,086 --> 00:07:06,896 And it evolved that way. 179 00:07:06,896 --> 00:07:09,806 Of course, as I've said, a thousand times, because for most of our 180 00:07:09,806 --> 00:07:11,996 history, there were, everything was trying to eat us and kill us. 181 00:07:12,026 --> 00:07:14,636 So our brain was really good at helping us survive. 182 00:07:15,176 --> 00:07:16,976 But as you know, you've been paying attention. 183 00:07:16,976 --> 00:07:19,496 There's not too many saber tooth tigers in your neighborhood anymore. 184 00:07:19,586 --> 00:07:24,596 So the threats that we have a rarely, rarely existential threats, right? 185 00:07:24,896 --> 00:07:27,896 The threats that we face are like, you know, stress, and can we do this? 186 00:07:27,896 --> 00:07:28,646 And can we do that? 187 00:07:28,646 --> 00:07:30,596 And what's gonna happen with this relationship and this person, 188 00:07:30,596 --> 00:07:31,436 this is part of my career. 189 00:07:31,946 --> 00:07:35,336 So, what I want to really say to you is what this cycling thing taught me 190 00:07:35,336 --> 00:07:37,616 last week is there is always more. 191 00:07:38,696 --> 00:07:39,776 You know, go and read that book. 192 00:07:39,776 --> 00:07:40,556 The comfort myth. 193 00:07:40,586 --> 00:07:43,256 I read that a few months ago and I've been talking a lot about it that go read it. 194 00:07:43,676 --> 00:07:44,306 Jump on Amazon. 195 00:07:44,306 --> 00:07:44,636 Goodbye. 196 00:07:44,666 --> 00:07:45,506 The comfort myth. 197 00:07:46,076 --> 00:07:51,326 And you can do this deep dive into how powerfully we have evolved for comfort. 198 00:07:52,046 --> 00:07:54,236 But there's so much more than just comfort, right? 199 00:07:54,746 --> 00:07:55,526 I mean, look around you. 200 00:07:55,526 --> 00:07:59,126 You just see so many people, you know, just addicted to social media, addicted 201 00:07:59,156 --> 00:08:03,476 to all sorts of different things that keep them stuck in exactly the same place. 202 00:08:03,476 --> 00:08:06,296 If you want different results, you have to do different things. 203 00:08:06,926 --> 00:08:10,196 If you want different results, you have to do different things. 204 00:08:10,526 --> 00:08:13,376 And those different things are going to be often challenging and difficult. 205 00:08:13,376 --> 00:08:15,776 You know, I I'm, I'm no snake oil salesman. 206 00:08:15,776 --> 00:08:16,076 Right. 207 00:08:16,466 --> 00:08:18,086 I'm no, I know I'm not sitting here. 208 00:08:18,176 --> 00:08:19,556 I've never been the kind of person. 209 00:08:20,036 --> 00:08:22,886 In this podcast that sort of said, Hey, you know, this is easy. 210 00:08:22,886 --> 00:08:25,796 You just write some goals down and think some positive affirmations. 211 00:08:25,826 --> 00:08:28,226 You're going to get the, you're not, you're going to have to do hard things. 212 00:08:28,586 --> 00:08:31,256 And for me as a coach, that's often what I do is I help people get the 213 00:08:31,256 --> 00:08:33,896 energy and the leverage and the understanding to do the hard things 214 00:08:33,896 --> 00:08:35,006 that really shift them forward. 215 00:08:35,516 --> 00:08:37,196 So I want to say to you today then is. 216 00:08:37,826 --> 00:08:38,576 There's always more.
