00:00:00.080 Speaker 1 [gentle music]
00:00:07.220 Speaker 1 This is Seeking Minima.
00:00:10.000 Speaker 1 Here is a way to solve ninety-nine percent of your problems.
00:00:16.880 Speaker 1 Spoiler, it's not sexy, but it works.
00:00:23.360 Speaker 1 So the problem is not what you think it is, basically ever. [laughs] You
00:00:29.220 Speaker 1 think the problem is, "Oh, my kids are acting up." You think the problem is, "Oh, my
00:00:35.080 Speaker 1 spouse or my friends aren't paying attention to me," or, "My boss isn't giving me
00:00:40.400 Speaker 1 the credit I deserve," or, "I can't get traction on this business because such and
00:00:46.120 Speaker 1 such competitor or such and such market problem." You're wrong.
00:00:52.780 Speaker 1 You're wrong. You think the problem is A, but that's not the problem.
00:00:59.160 Speaker 1 In fact, the problem is almost always something much,
00:01:05.360 Speaker 1 much simpler. So the next time you think you have a problem, especially a
00:01:11.320 Speaker 1 complex problem in your life, try this approach instead.
00:01:16.680 Speaker 1 Get eight hours of sleep.
00:01:19.600 Speaker 1 Stop eating junk food and eat healthy. Get some exercise of any kind.
00:01:25.720 Speaker 1 Get outside. Talk to some friends, ideally in person or over video.
00:01:32.160 Speaker 1 You know, do things that healthy people do. And I think when you look back, you will
00:01:37.760 Speaker 1 realize, "Okay, yeah, I've been a little unhealthy lately."
00:01:42.460 Speaker 1 And what you'll find is once you've done those things, I call these keystone habits,
00:01:48.180 Speaker 1 once you do the things you already know you're supposed to be doing to be healthy,
00:01:53.060 Speaker 1 you will find that the so-called problem that you had, it's not really a problem at
00:01:58.460 Speaker 1 all. In fact, it either, A, just completely goes away and you forget about it.
00:02:03.420 Speaker 1 [laughs] That's, that's usually what happens. That's like eighty percent of the
00:02:07.320 Speaker 1 time. All right? B, you realize the problem was way out of context. It was
00:02:14.080 Speaker 1 improperly sized. When you are less capable,
00:02:21.160 Speaker 1 by definition, you are less capable of solving this problem, and that problem is
00:02:26.480 Speaker 1 bigger, right? It doesn't matter if you can bench press a thousand pounds.
00:02:34.940 Speaker 1 If you are dead tired and you have nine hundred pounds
00:02:39.680 Speaker 1 [laughs] of burden on you, you can actually only lift a hundred pounds,
00:02:46.020 Speaker 1 and yet you're kicking yourself because you can't lift five hundred or eight hundred
00:02:50.260 Speaker 1 or your thousand. Of course you can't. You're burdened by nine hundred pounds
00:02:54.700 Speaker 1 already. So when you take away the burden of all this pain and
00:03:00.640 Speaker 1 crap that comes from being unhealthy, from not doing the simple stuff,
00:03:07.460 Speaker 1 remember, the problem is not what you think it is. When you just get back to being
00:03:12.760 Speaker 1 able to lift a thousand pounds, so to speak, you find that this was a
00:03:18.640 Speaker 1 fifty-pound problem, right? It's not a big deal. You just solve it or you forget
00:03:23.260 Speaker 1 about it, and you don't even need to solve it. You don't care. It's not a big deal.
00:03:27.540 Speaker 1 Here, done. It's fixed or whatever. I'm just gonna ignore it. I don't know why I
00:03:32.580 Speaker 1 thought this was such a big deal. Or you've been dwelling on things that you're not
00:03:36.420 Speaker 1 actually trying to solve, and this is another outcome. When you're in a healthier
00:03:41.080 Speaker 1 state of mind, you realize the problem you thought you had with your kids, with your
00:03:45.280 Speaker 1 work, with your business,
00:03:50.320 Speaker 1 you weren't really trying to solve a problem. You were just fancy complaining. Fancy
00:03:55.860 Speaker 1 complaining [laughs] is just a way of
00:03:59.780 Speaker 1 feeling bad about a thing while not really doing anything to solve it,
00:04:05.320 Speaker 1 and you can't see that clearly when you're under so much duress because you're
00:04:11.220 Speaker 1 unhealthy or because you're not in the right state of mind to solve the problem. So
00:04:16.480 Speaker 1 the next time you feel like you have a problem, remember, you probably don't,
00:04:22.800 Speaker 1 and the way you can find out is by doing the keystone habits.
00:04:26.840 Speaker 1 [gentle music]
