Why do we always put things off until the last minute?

How can we stop the habit of procrastinating?

Today, let's welcome Rob Dial, host of the Mindset Mentor Podcast and author of "Level Up." Jay and Rob reminisce about their seven-year friendship, sharing how their mutual interests in mindset and Eastern spirituality brought them together. 

The conversation delves into the role of fear in holding people back, with Rob distinguishing between primal fears (like pain and death) and intellectual fears (like failure and rejection). He offers strategies to overcome these fears by focusing on positive outcomes instead of negative possibilities. They also explore the topic of procrastination, with Rob emphasizing the importance of having a strong "why" to drive motivation and action. 

Rob reflects on his spiritual journey and how silence and introspection have helped him find peace and purpose. He also shares the key lesson he has learned: what we seek externally is often something we need to find within ourselves.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to overcome fear

How to connect with your 'WHY'

How to overcome procrastination

How to change negative thought patterns

How to accept and love all part of yourself

Let's continue to seek deeper understanding and connection with themselves, emphasizing the value of inner peace and presence.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
