4 Mindset Hacks to Overcome Fear in Your Life

About this video

Dan Martell shares four mindset hacks he took from Tony Robbins’ six-day Date with Destiny event, described as 13-16 hour days going until two in the morning, and featured in the Netflix documentary ‘Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru.’ He notes these lines were not even part of the core curriculum. 1) Faith over fear: faith is a belief in a future positive experience and fear is a belief in a future negative experience, and you choose which to hold, while still being diligent and protecting the downside. 2) Get To vs Have To language: Robbins said rich people use ‘get to’ language and poor people use ‘have to’ language, a reframe about quality of life, not bank balance — e.g. ‘I get to go to the gym.’ 3) Primary question: design a question that resets focus toward possibility; Martell’s is ‘how can I appreciate even more God’s grace and guidance in this moment right now?’, which he says he asks dozens of times a day. 4) Purple eyes reaction: if someone screamed you have purple eyes you would not react because you know it is untrue; apply the same non-reaction to hurtful comments. He closes offering a distillation of over 1,500 books he says he has read into 25.

Key takeaways

• Faith vs fear: both are beliefs about the future — choose faith
• Use ‘get to’ language instead of ‘have to’ to reframe tasks
• Design a primary question to redirect focus to positivity
• Martell’s primary question centres on appreciating God’s grace and guidance
• Purple eyes: don’t react to claims you know are untrue about you
