Welcome to the second and final episode
of our two-part series featuring Marissa Peer.
Marissa is a therapist, best-selling author and keynote speaker.
Her mission is to spread the message
that there are simple, rapid, and effective techniques
everyone can use to change your life.
She is the best-selling author of five books
and the starter of the iconic I Am Enough Movement.
In part one, Marissa talked about how she often felt
emotionally neglected when she was
a child and how her upbringing led her to the statement of, I am not enough.
As she got older, Marissa realized that she could change her mindset by talking differently
to herself.
After all, the most important words out there are your own words.
If you missed our conversation in part one, make sure you go back and give that a listen
before you continue on to part 2.
Now in this part of the series, we'll touch on the difference between arrogance and confidence
and how to celebrate your strengths with others.
Marissa teaches us how to take on a new perspective to our problems using her 3Ps, which will
help us alleviate unnecessary self-doubt.
Then we'll learn about the birth of Marissa's radical. I am enough movement and how once we
change our thoughts, we can change our life. If you want to
join us on our journey to self belief, keep on listening.
I think what you're saying is brilliant. And I want to, you
know, of course, I studied for this interview. And as I was
listening to some of your rules and guidance when it comes to speaking to
yourself, there were some rules that I kind of wrote down. So being super repetitive, making sure
you're in the present tense, using really exciting and descriptive words when it comes to our
statements of truth. So could you talk to us about the right way and the wrong way that we should
do this? Because I want to make sure that people have the knowledge to actually implement this in their lives.
I think I created like 32, 26 rules of your mind. You can find them on YouTube
because you see we're all told this little high. The mind is so complicated. It's
incredibly complex. It takes a lifetime to understand your mind. No, it doesn't.
The mind isn't complex. It's actually incredibly simple.
It does what it thinks you want it to do. So when you understand the rules of your mind,
you could put them into practice. And here's a rule that we should all remember. Every
word you speak is a blueprint that your mind, body and psyche work to make real. So how do
you understand the mind very simply?
The mind only works in the present time.
Just like a kid who doesn't understand what tomorrow is.
You can't say to the mind,
next year I'll be a millionaire, next year I'll have a beach body,
next year I'll find love,
because the mind doesn't know what next year is.
So you have to make your statements today.
I'm becoming super lovable
right now. I'm becoming wealthy right now. I'm becoming successful. I am successful. So
it must be in the present tense. That's really important. And secondly, your words must
make a clear picture. I'm okay. I'm not bad, life is good, that's not dynamic. I am magnetically
lovable. I go out in the world and I have this magnetic love of it. I attract people that love
me and I love them. So the words must be really, really exciting and very descriptive. It's not enough to go, I'm okay, I'm not bad and
it's definitely not good to go. I'm not fat, I'm not insecure, I'm not nervous because
the mind only picks up words that make a picture. I don't eat cake. I don't want cake, I'm
not interested in cake, is making you think about cake. I'm
not nervous in front of clients, I'm not scared of selling, I'm not anxious about presenting.
You're picking up the words nervous and anxious, so you have to flip that around and go, I am
a phenomenal seller. I give amazing presentations. When I speak at work, everyone understands what I'm saying.
They like me, they listen to me, I ask questions, I answer them, my boss loves me, they're noticing the power of me.
So present tense, really exciting word, descriptive words. Your words must be relevant up to date and descriptive
and put words in front of you. I'm freaking awesome. I'm powerfully good at speaking. I'm amazingly
magnetically lovable, make it exciting, dramatic, dynamic in the present tense. And the reason I emphasize that, I see so many
people who go, yeah, I now tell them, I'm not scared. I'm not scared of speaking. I'm
no longer going red and blushing and startling over words. You have to the opposite. I speak
clearly. I pronounce words easily. A breath correctly, my energy level is phenomenal.
And, you know, it's not hard to dialogue with your mind when you understand the rules,
it must be in the present tense. It must make a picture. It must excite and turn on your mind.
And once you get that, it becomes easy and it must be repetitive. The mind
learns by repetition and make what is unfamiliar familiar. So if it's unfamiliar to believe in yourself,
make it familiar because here's a rule of the mind, the mind laughs what is familiar and would
like to run back to what's familiar and run away from what is unfamiliar.
That's a fact. But here's another fact, you can make anything you like familiar and if you make
believing in yourself and growing yourself esteemed familiar and you're making not believing in yourself
unfamiliar and it doesn't take longer to make self belief familiar. Just praise
yourself. There is nothing, nothing on the planet that will grow yourself a steam like
self praise. Praise actually grows yourself a steam in any way. But if I say someone
or you're so great, I love you're amazing. I may have an agenda. I may want something
from them. But when I say it to myself,
there's no agenda except growing self-esteem and self-esteem means after what I think of
me. If I say, I hold you in the highest esteem, that's what I think of you but self-esteem
is what you think of you and you can grow that. It's not arrogance, it's not being big-headed, it's that kind of quiet assurance that
radiates on the mix. I live with it. Oh, I feel great in your company. It's just something
about you. So, like yourself, like other people grow yourself as female, it will make you
so much happier, and it will make you a healthier, better person too.
Something that you just said sparked my interest, and that's when somebody gives you a healthier, better person too. Something that you just said sparked my interest and that's when somebody gives you a compliment.
What's the right way and the wrong way to treat a compliment so that we can expand our
minds instead of contract it?
I'm so glad you asked that because here's the thing.
We want to expand.
We want to expand out.
You know the mind, you have an incredible potential and
you have no idea what your potential is because your potential expands and as you meet
it expands more and more and more, when your mind expands when you dimension it never
goes back.
So imagine someone says, oh, I love that talk you gave and you went, oh, it's terrible,
didn't you notice? I said the word wrong, I stumbled, I went over time, I got right, you gave and you went, oh, it's terrible, didn't you notice?
I said the word wrong, I stumbled,
I went over time, I got bright red now,
you're diminishing it.
If someone gave you a gift, you would accept it.
So when someone praises you, say thank you.
Someone says to me, hey, I love your book,
I say thank you so much, I wrote it.
For that reason, I don't have to go,
oh, actually, you know, really wasn't very good.
And it has some terrible reviews.
And it's not actually doing that well.
Do not diminish praise.
When someone praises, they thank you.
And even better, once you got used to saying thank you, add to it,
hey, I love your jacket.
I've had it for 10 years.
Got it in target.
Got a hole in it. So thanks. I love it too. It's've had it for 10 years, got it in targets, got a whole
note. So thanks, I love it too. It's my favorite, it's my favorite color. So the first thing is
do not reject praise. When I go to Spain a lot and I notice when the waiter comes up and I say,
thank you, they're going, no, no, no, don't mention it. When someone says, thank you, accept it.
So the first thing is accept it.
The second thing is add to it.
Go, I'm so glad.
One of my clients was a movie director.
I love your movies. It was terrible.
I said, we've got great reviews.
No, no, it was all, we got one in Oscar.
There were no good nominations.
But your second movie, there were even worse nominations.
That is, oh,
you're somebody who can't let him praise. I want you to say when I go, I love you, maybe thank you so much. I loved making that movie. This was somebody who was suicidal, who could not let
him praise, and although it sounds always too good to be true, making him say thank you.
I love making movies. It gives me pleasure, gives other people pleasure.
It is important.
The second thing is if someone comes up and goes,
hey, I love to talk to you.
I love yours too, because now you're giving it back.
Say thank you so much.
Let it in and maybe after five or two minutes
go by the way.
I also happen to love your talk.
If someone says, I love your shoes I
love yours that sounds normal but no because you're giving it back you want to
expand and not contract when you're expanding and someone says I love your
business I love the products you make I love love something. I love your hair. Don't go, oh no, my hair, I
haven't washed it for a week because now you're contracting. And also when you go, I love
your hair. You're also contracting, expand. When someone says, I hear, you're an amazing
cell and you go, well, not really. It was just a fluke. There's a much better cell than
in our company, but he was sick that week. You're contracting, expand into greatness by seeing praise
as a gift.
You wouldn't go, oh, I don't want that gift.
Let me give it back.
Thank you so much.
Is the first step.
And then add to it, yeah, I love selling.
I'm, yeah, apparently I'm really good at it
because I really like it.
And don't say, but you're so good at selling.
That's how you expand and not contract.
We all want to keep expanding and praise you.
So I would also praise other people.
You know, when I'm in a store, I love saying to the check out person, oh, I love your voice.
So your nails are really nice.
So you smell lovely or thank you so much.
I love going around the world,
praising people saying you did a great job or, oh, you're a kid, so you love you a great parent,
because it builds people up, but there's no point in doing that if you're not also doing it to yourself.
So praise will boost yourself a steam and criticism will wh it say let him praise praise yourself and don't
let him criticism. I love that. Would you say that there's any chance that somebody can be over
confident? Because there's a whole movement now where people want to be humble and I'm somebody
who's very confident. I've been studying love attraction
for a long time and so I feel no problem to praise myself and accept compliments but then sometimes
I think people take it as arrogance. So how do we make sure that we don't come across as arrogant
and can we be overconfident? When you see arrogance is trying to convince someone else. I'm amazing me. I'm better than you. I've
smarter. I've got a better education than you. I got more than you. See, if this was a little seesaw,
this is where we start off. But an arrogant person believes that actually this is you. This is then the arrogant person
sees life like that. And they have to diminish you and elevate themselves
for that to happen, but they really want back to happen.
So an arrogant person is not confident.
Confident people don't brag.
They're like, hey, I've got more money than you.
My job's better than yours.
My car is better than yours.
A confident person isn't a brag.
They're not to show off.
They often, they just have that confidence
themselves, so I'm okay at this. And so arrogance is just the other end of the scale of insecurity.
I'm insecure, and I need you to make me feel better. I'm insecure, so I'm going to brag
and show off and convince you that I'm amazing because I don't really think I am.
But right in the middle of the arrogant interview
is what I call honoring your self.
Telling your self is, but you don't walk around going,
I'm great, me, I'm amazing.
You just at home or in your head say, I'm okay,
I'm doing a great job, I've got something
to offer the world.
I loved it when Snoop Dogg said, I'm going to congratulate myself here.
I have worked really hard, so what I'm thinking, everyone's, why don't I thank myself?
And I thought that wasn't arrogance.
And I've seen many other people when we were giving certificates at my last RTT training in London,
I've got one coming up in Berlin very soon
but when people are coming up to get their certificates and RTT, who are you going to all
thank this teacher, the students who want to say, I want to thank myself because I have
worked so hard, I've saved up, I've worked hard, I've given this everything I've got and
I've got this qualifications and I'm going to thank myself and I loved that. That wasn't arrogant. You did it in such a lovely way. So you can't be overconfident. That's that fake
it till you make it because real confidence isn't fake. It's saying, oh, you're having
a problem with your computer. I'm really good at computers. I can fix it. Oh, you've got
a headache. I'm really good at massaging pressure points and I could fix it. Oh, you've got a headache. I'm really good at massaging pressure points
and I could help you.
Oh, you're having problems.
Let me help you.
This is my gift.
I'm good at this, but no one's good at everything.
So confidence is not showing off.
It's that quiet self assurance.
You know, many years ago, my previous partner had cancer and he went to
see his own oncologist and he came back and he said, well, he's going to do his best.
And I knew that those very words were nice.
I said, let me take you to the best prostate cancer doctor.
So I don't want to see him.
I said, no, he's just going to see him.
And he said, I happen to be the best prospect cancer doctor in Europe.
And I'm going to make you better.
You're going to live.
He said, oh, the other guy said he was going to try.
I said, no, no, no, we don't try.
We do.
Under my hands, this is a walk in the park,
we'll remove it.
You're going to be great.
Your life will be normal.
You're going to live until you're 92.
Was that arrogance?
He said it in such a nice way.
If you go to the school and they go,
well, our gift is to take your kid and to give you back in a couple of years, a really rounded person,
smart, confident, outgoing, happy. And that's so arrogant. I think I'll find a different teacher who says,
well, we do the best we can, but you know, there's no guarantees. Who wants to go to a doctor who says, well, we do the best we can, but there's no guarantees. Who wants to go to a doctor who says, well, I do the best,
but who knows?
It's a lottery here dealing with your illness.
When people say, I have got an ability to heal you,
help you sort this out.
If I said to somebody, my washing machine is leaking, can you fix
it? Oh, yes, we're the best washing machine fixtures in LA and we can be there in an hour.
I don't want somebody to go, like, try, but who knows. So confidence is that reassurance
in who you are and what you have to offer, but also recognizing that other people are also
good at things. There's many things I can't do.
I love giving jobs.
I have a girl who works me called Rosie, who is the most amazing writer, much better than me.
And I give her all our writing jobs because she's that's her gift, she's extraordinary.
So a confident person doesn't go, I'm good at everything.
They go, no, actually, that's not my gift.
I'm not really good at it. Even I, no, actually, that's not my gift. I'm not really good at it.
Even I, Gerald Lawson, who's amazing and amazing cook said,
I'm not really good at playing with children.
I like cooking, but never being good at that.
When people say I'm good at everything,
that's arrogance.
When they say my gift is X, and someone else's gift is
why, like my husband is amazing at
marketing. I'm not interested in what he's amazing at cooking and he loves
going he loves wandering around shops looking at food and different spices I
don't interest in that at all but I love that that's his gift is certainly not
mine but you're only supposed to have one so confident people do you have a
degree of humility as well.
And they also celebrate other people's wins.
You know, natural leaders, they don't,
they celebrate everyone else's wins.
They make people feel part of a team.
And so if someone is arrogant, I can promise you
that is not a confident person at all.

This episode of Yap is brought to you by Gusto.
If you're a small business owner, you gotta listen up.
Running a business is super hard.
We all know that.
There's endless to-do lists, employees to take care of, and your ever-present bottom line.
So first of all, give yourself a pat on the back for staying on top of it all.
Gusto wasn't just built for small businesses.
It was built for the people behind them.
Their online payroll is so easy to use. They can automatically calculate paychecks and file
all your payroll taxes, which means you have more time to run your business.
Plus, Guesto does way more than just payroll. They can help with time tracking, health insurance,
401k, onboarding, commuter benefits, offer letters, access to HR experts, you
get the idea.
It's super easy to set up and get started, and if you're moving from another provider,
they can help transfer all your data for you.
At YAT Media, we're gearing up to start our HR benefits on gusto and transition payroll
on there as well.
And this was a plan, even before they sponsored the podcast.
After I did my due diligence and research, I chose Gusto because they provide payroll
benefits onboarding and HR in one place for an affordable price for a budget that suits
my growing startup.
It's no surprise that 94% of customers are likely to recommend Gusto and that they've
been trusted by over 100,000 businesses just like yours.
Gusto really cares about small business owners.
They have a support team that's super attentive and helpful,
and since money can be tight right now,
you can even get three months free

Just go to gusto.com slash app
and start setting up your business today.
You'll see what I mean when I say it's really easy.
Again, that's three months of free payroll
at gusto.com slash
app. So I wanted to get into a quick fire segment. I know that you have some dangerous habits
that you talk about, which could lead us to lose our success. So I was thinking I could
rattle off a dangerous habit. And then you could give us some advice to counteract that dangerous habit.
So dangerous habit number one, waiting for perfection.
Yeah, you see, waiting perfection is you've entered a race. Here's the race, here's the finishing line.
I know she run towards it. It moves and it moves and it moves and when you enter a race to be perfect,
you can never even complete it. There is no perfect.
Nature doesn't allow that.
Stop trying to be perfect.
You can certainly perfect your craft,
but I could say, as a speaker, I'm always learning.
As a writer, I'm always learning.
We are in that, it's like that can I
constant and never ending improvement,
but don't try to be perfect.
People are trying to be perfect. People who try to be perfect
are the unhappiest but they're also the loneliest because guess what? We don't like perfect
people. They seem to shine so bright that we feel somewhat inadequate in their light. So please
don't try to be perfect. Just be you. There's no prize of being perfect. It's a lonely world when you're perfect because we're all
flawed, we're all imperfect. And actually our imperfections make us very, very
and doing, we go, you know, I love the fact that I love it that my partner's got a little tummy
because I can have one too. I love the fact that my mom isn't perfect. I don't have to be
perfect. I love the fact that my father left my perfect. I don't have to be perfect. I love the fact that my father left my mother
because when I wanted to leave college,
I could go back and go, hey, Dad, you know,
I know you want me to stay,
but you know how you had to leave my mom no matter what.
That's how I feel about leaving college.
I have to leave.
And I was so glad I had a flawed parent
because it allowed me to be flawed myself.
So rather than trying to be perfect, celebrate
your flaws, it makes you human. And that's a wonderful thing.
Love that. Okay. Dangerous habit number two, doubting yourself.
It's okay to doubt yourself. Let's imagine you're going to be a speaker and you go,
well you know, I need to learn. So I need to learn when I was first given a tech talk, I was the open of a tent and they said,
you must finish in 18 minutes, those were 15, you must be finished in 18. So I had to
practice that. I got to get really used to this speech. So it starts and ends in 18 minutes.
And I hadn't done that before and it was very good for me to time it and get it just right.
So if a little bit of self doubt makes you think, hey, I'm going to go for this job, but
I need to learn more that's okay.
But the negative is I'm going to give a presentation.
I know I'm going to mess it up.
I know I'm going to go right, ready to open my mouth and go up and sound like an idiot.
Don't do that.
Say things like, I've got this, I can do it,
this is amazing, many years ago.
I just literally had a baby a week before,
and I was going to do this television show,
and I'd recorded everything you just say
on a cassette tape, that's how long ago it was,
and I got in the car, and I pressed rewind,
and I drove there, and I said,
oh my God, I forgot to play it.
I was just the radio.
I thought, well, you know what?
That's a sign I don't need it.
If I didn't play it back, I guess I don't need it.
It's going to be just great.
So when you say, well, this is going to be great.
I may not be prepared, but it's okay.
I can do this.
I've got this.
This has got my name all over it.
I want it. I love it. I've chosen it
and I've chosen to feel greater but I find the magic words are I want this. I want it. I've chosen
it. I love it. Love it. Love it. That will smash out self-doubt for you and that's a wonderful thing.
I love that. Okay. Dangerous bad habit number three, procrastinating and self sabotaging.
Well, you see, you know, I see people all the time. I've been a therapist for 30 years.
I created our TT. We've trained 10,000 therapists all over the world. And you'd be amazing
to come in with self doubt and self sabotage. And that is nothing more than the fear of rejection, in a most profound fear is rejection.
If you reject me, I'll die.
And actually, it wasn't that long ago that that was true.
We had to live in a tribe.
So if you are a self-sabotal,
if you procrastinate, say, I'm doing this
because I'm scared of rejection.
If I don't do the work,
if I don't write that presentation, if I don't write that presentation,
if I don't work on my website or weekend and put it off, and then it never gets built, then when
my business goes, I go, well, you know what? Because I never built that website. If I sabotage myself,
it's to stop myself feeling that I'm not enough. And all of those habits stem from the real fear of rejection,
but here's the truth, the only person you can reject you
is you.
So you could go, okay, I'm writing a book.
It might fail.
I don't know, but I'm giving it everything I've got.
And if it doesn't get picked up,
well, at least I wrote to you, I did everything.
That's better than saying, I could have written a book.
I should have done, but I never did, or I started, never finished. So procrastination and self-sabotage are really nothing
more than a fear of being rejected. The only person who has the real power to reject you is you.
I've had manuscripts sent back many times, as so did JK Rowling, but you just pick it up and send it back
again until someone accepts it. And if they never do you go, well, I tried that. It wasn't meant to be.
And then I moved on to something else. So you can stop sabotage. By the way, you talk to yourself,
you can stop procrastination almost immediately by going, I want this, I've chosen to give it my all.
That's what I've chosen.
Because when you say that your mind goes,
oh, right, you do have a choice.
And you're choosing to give it all,
but when you go, I'm dreading it.
It's so boring writing.
I hate spending all my weekends putting together my business.
And I go, you know what?
I think there's a sock drawer
that needs really sorting out here
because you're telling your mind,
I don't want to do this.
And when you go, I want it, I want it, I love it, I love it.
I love it.
Even when it's not true, it becomes true.
So that is the magic word for saboteurs.
I want it, I love it, I've chosen,
I've chosen to feel great about it.
And I'm on it right now.
I think that's great.
This one is really important, especially in the day of social media.
So, dangerous habit number four, comparing ourselves to others.
You know, we have this whole thing which I find so sad.
We decide we are something to do with the numbers, the weight
on the scales, the number in my clothes, the number in my bank, the number in my birthday,
the number, how many followers, how many likes have I got?
And we're now judging ourselves by numbers, you are not a number, you are not your ears,
your weight, your shape, your size, you are not
your followers.
Do not allow yourself to believe that that matters.
What matters is that other people in your life who love you are happiest moments that
always are interactions with others and interactions on social media are very nice, but they are
not real.
I mean, I can say that having people who are so lovely to me on social media,
and say, oh, I love you, somebody said to me,
you want you know, you're the only person in my whole world that says something nice to me every day.
And I love that, but that was a shame that that person didn't have somebody in the flesh who did that.
But maybe by hearing me say it, she could believe she was worthy
and go out and find real flesh and bone people to do that too.
So don't allow yourself to read that you are the number of your followers, that that
is real.
The social media world is not real, it's quite fake.
You may have a thousand followers.
When you have the
flu, are they turning up with chicken soup and some orange juice? I don't think so. So don't be
deluded. It's great to have it. I've got lots of followers. They're lovely. I love having them.
They make me feel great about myself, but I also understand that if I have a bad day, it's my husband, my daughter, my sister,
my wonderful friends, or turning up to say,
let's say when I was sick, you know,
it was my friends who turned up in hospital to boost me up
and we got to really, really,
realize it's real people that you can hug
and hold hands with.
And I sometimes take on parents and say,
you know, yeah, I read my daughter a story every night
on Zoom. I'm like, no, you need to be there. It's okay if you're traveling, but every night, I mean,
that's not quality time. If someone said, hey, we'll have a daton Zoom. You go, well, that's not
the same. I don't want a daton Zoom. And if you wouldn't't Dayton Zoom, don't believe you can parent on Zoom.
It's in addition to it's not instead of,
and social media friends should be in addition to,
never instead of real friends,
and social media dating.
That's just to get you to the part where you meet.
If you never meet, that's not dating at all.
100%.
Okay, let's do one more for dangerous habits, overwhelming ourselves.
Yeah, I was like, you are a human being, not a human being.
And I have pets.
And they sleep a lot.
They have a bit of activity.
They spend ages doing absolutely nothing, lying in the sun, having a wonderful life.
I've spent a lot of time with tribes who do the same. They hunt, they cook, they hunt and gather, but they spend
a lot of time sitting around the fire too and just being. And you're supposed to be and
not do. And I think we've got this whole thing about I'm busy. I'm so busy, that makes
me important. I'm busy, busy, busy. You're actually like a battery.
And a battery must be recharged.
And I think we should all go,
hey, now I'm lying on the sofa now,
and I'm recharging like a battery.
I've been to work, I've given a lot,
and I'm gonna come home and do nothing.
And there's no guilt, because I'm recharging.
Like if I just kept charging my phone
for five minutes here and there, it would keep dying. I use that phone and then overnight I give it a rest, I give myself a rest and
I recharge it and I recharge myself. So when you're feeling overwhelmed because you've
taken on too much, don't feel guilty about doing nothing, don't believe that you must
be busy. But if you don't have
any choice but have on too much because you're a parent with a career and maybe you're learning
something new as well, decide it's okay. I've got this, this too will pass. I can write
about, raise a family, go to college, even work out, it's a lot. But I'm just doing this
for now. This is not my life, it's just my life
for this next year. So when you are in overwhelm, you can say, this is how I am today. This is not
my life. This is just my week or even my weekend or maybe this day. Overwhelmed is okay if you get
it into perspective and decide, I can do this for now, but it's not forever.
I can go to college and I am going to be studying for three years and it's a lot, but this
two will pass.
So overwhelm, really get to a cycle, p, p, p personal, pervasive, and permanent.
And that really means that you think, it's me, I can't cope, it's here all the time.
And it's always gonna be here all the time.
If it's not permanent or pervasive,
it means going all the time.
If it's not permanent, it's not,
you can deal with overwhelm.
So see it as temporary.
You can do everything you can to lessen it.
And don't be perfect. Hey, I could
make a perfect dinner, but I can also just make this dinner. I could try to make my presentation
perfect. I could go, you know, it's good enough right now. Overwhelming is this needing to be
perfect. You're not supposed to be perfect. You're supposed to be a flawed human. Having flawed
relationships with flawed humans, it's the best
you can ever be, it's great. So, overwhelm comes from this drive to be perfect and that drive
is a lane that will take you to unhappiness, sadness and loneliness to get out of that lane
and get into the flawed lane, there's great company there and you'll be much, much happier.
I'm really glad you brought up those three piece because I was hoping that you were going to
cover it and I'd love for you to just repeat that because I want my listeners to really understand
that that any problem is not really a problem if it doesn't fit in one of these three
piece and it will help them reframe and kind of live a happier life. So if you could just stress that a bit. So next imagine you've got a really horrible ghost, a very difficult client, or indeed a very
difficult teenager and we go, this is ruining my life. It's killing me. For it to get you,
it has to have three piece. It has to be personal. But it's not personal. You're all teenagers
to their mothers. They're awful. Your boss is horrible to everyone. It's not personal. You're all teenagers to their mothers. They're awful. Your boss is horrible to everyone.
It's not personal.
Is it all pervasive?
Not really.
When you're at home having wonderful sex or having a nice dinner, is your boss in your
house making you feel bad?
No.
Is it permanent?
No.
One day your boss will retire.
You'll leave.
Your difficult kid will leave and you'll wish they were back in your house.
So if something isn't permanent, isn't all pervasive, meaning it's going on all the time,
24 hours a day, and it isn't personal, then it will hurt you less.
So it's just a good way of looking at whatever's going on in your life.
I've got all this work.
It's killing me.
Well, that's not permanent.
You'll get through that work. And then you can say, I'm not ever going to take on that work, living, I'm got all this work, it's killing me. Well, that's not permanent, you'll get through that work.
And then you can say, I'm not ever gonna take on that work,
and I'm gonna learn to say no.
So that's not permanent, it's not personal
because the work isn't personal,
and it's not all pervasive, you still get to sleep.
And if you'll say to me, you know, I eat all day,
I'm out of control, I eat non-stop, I say, really?
Even when you're in the toilet,
well, no, not when I'm in the toilet.
Do you sleep, do you eat when you're sleeping?
No, I don't eat when I'm sleeping.
So you're not really an out of control train wreck
eating 24 hours a day like you just said.
No, but you know, my legs are the size of a house,
really because you're in my house
and you wouldn't have got through the door
if you're legs are the size of a house.
So I just get people to really pay attention to their language
and to stop putting themselves down.
Big yourself up, be nice to yourself,
and realize that most of our problems are not permanent,
not personal, and guess what else?
There's someone else's fantasy dream
or someone on the floor, I'd love for your problem. I'd give anything to her husband with bad breath, a kid that left pants on the floor.
I would love a baby that kept me up when I'd love to have that chance of giving a TED talk. I'd
love to be in the traffic on the freeway, going to a job that pays the bills. So the PPP is a good one, but also to realize that your problem
is someone else's fantasy dream come true. And also, what you've given for your problem
10 years ago, 10 years ago, you'd love to have had a kid that kept you up a partner that
challenged you, a job that stretched you. It's something that's actually good, because
it means you're growing as a person,
and that's always a good thing too.

heard you say many times that we should tell ourselves that we are enough and
you're very famous for a movement. I am enough. So talk to us, why is that phrase so
important and why is that so much of the crux of the things that
you teach?
Well, the common denominator of all of our issues, I mean, I can say having been a therapist
for so many years, all my adult life, the common denominator of all our issues is I'm not
enough.
You know, I've worked with thousands and thousands of addicts, drug addicts, alcoholics,
people who are addicted to food or self-harm.
I've never met one who ever believed they were enough.
You see, when you think you're not enough, you need more.
If I'm not enough, I need more cake, more alcohol, more drugs, more shopping.
I'm very needy, I need you to praise me because I'm not enough.
But if I just take them not to go, I am enough,
then I don't need something else to fill me up. And so the not Enoughness is an epidemic that's got worse and worse because we feel we're judged by again what we look like, how many followers
we've got. Are we doing something worthy? And the not enoughness society's really done a number on us.
It's made women feel they've got to be supermodels.
Mums feel they've got to be perfect.
Men feel they've got to be earning a lot with a six pack.
And I think the media magazines,
and it's like when I used to watch friends,
who knows a waitress that lives in Central Park?
I mean, that's, it was a great show,
but that's just creating waitresses
don't live in Central Park.
I mean, this is just not real,
but we look at someone with a baby,
just like a baby who's perfect,
we look at people like the Kardashian,
oh my God, that's not real.
And so when you compare yourself, you feel not enough.
And the transition from I'm not enough to I'm enough is amazing, because here's the thing.
Imagine you start your day with, I'm not enough, that's a thought.
But that thought makes you feel inadequate, makes you feel sad, might make you feel angry.
So you have a thought, you have a feeling, and then you have an action, the action you have from a non-nive is often no action, I'm not going to take a risk, I'm not going to ask for that pay
or I'll ask that person out. So your thoughts create your feelings, your feelings,
create your actions and your behaviors and you just to find them again. Well of course I
didn't take a risk because I'm not enough. Take away the not, I am enough. Now you think
well I'm enough. Well that's the whole lot of different feelings, I feel,
able to take risks, I feel good about myself, I feel worthy.
I can ask someone out, I ask for a pay rise,
and now my behaviors change, and my actions change,
and I justify that because I'm enough.
So thoughts create feelings, create behaviors, create actions, and they're justified by going
back to the thought.
Change the thought.
It changes your entire life, and that's why I created the I'm Enough movement.
And it's an amazing movement, because people say, oh, over what you know, I just began
to say that.
And I was stunned by how it changed my life.
I'd been depressed for years or anxious, or I started to say that. And I was stunned by how it changed my life. I'd been depressed for years or
anxious or I started to say it. And in no time at all, I met someone, I'm now married,
I managed to have a baby, I got to pay rise, I got the job of my dreams. It's a game changer,
knowing you're enough. And if you want help, join the I'm enough. We've been going to I'm enough.com. We give away all these bracelets. It's I'm enough. I have it on cushions, on
fridges. I have it everywhere because it's not a word. It's a statement I let in. So tell
yourself you're enough. Go to I'm enough.com. I promise you I guarantee it will actually
change your life.
I love that. And the last question I ask all my guests on young and profiting is what is your
secret to profiting in life? Well, I've got a new book coming out in October and it's called
Tell Yourself A Better Lie. And I guess that's one of my secrets. I realize that all my clients
tell themselves lies. My job is killing me.
This commute is killing me.
My bum is the size of Los Angeles.
I'm falling apart.
This is a lie.
If you are prepared to lie to yourself,
tell yourself a battle.
I'm smart.
I'm amazing.
I'm loveable.
I'm matter.
I've got something.
I'm a good person.
I'm love, well I'm mad, I've got something, I'm a good person, I'm significant, so I think
it, and we all lie to ourselves, oh my life is a mess, I'm a hot mess, I'm a train wreck,
it's just about understanding that your mind lets it in, so I think what stood me in very
good stead is telling myself things that were probably seen as life
Starting off as an insecure kid was asked to leave college and then saying I'm smart. I am matter
I am loved one. I'm worthy of a loving relationship. I'm worthy of someone adoring me. I'm worthy of
earning a lot of money
That was alive, but you know when I said it,
it became true, I have an amazing marriage.
I wouldn't have even, my life now,
I couldn't have imagined that life when I was 17
or even 28.
I couldn't have imagined having two homes
and the life we have, the love we have,
the impact we make on people.
And that's all because I began to tell myself a better lie
than the first lie, which is,
I don't know, to I'm a geek, I'm stupid,
can't even have a baby.
That was the first lie, but I told myself a better lie.
And it's an amazing thing.
That's awesome.
Tell yourself a better lie.

Thanks for listening to Part 2 of my series
with Marissa Peer on Young and Profiting Podcast.
If you haven't yet, make sure you subscribe to this podcast so you never miss an episode. I'm so happy that Merse join
me to talk about competence and the outlook we need to reframe our problems. Merse taught
us how to expand when we take a compliment versus contract. I know so many of us out there
struggle taking compliments, but remember when somebody is giving us a compliment or words of encouragement, we should accept that praise.
Accepting praise expands our minds.
Merissa also touched on the difference between arrogance
and confidence.
Ericant people brag and compare themselves to others.
Confident people know that they have something
to offer to the world.
It's all about recognizing your own hard work
and what you're
truly good at. Confidence is quiet self assurance. When Marissa's previous partner was diagnosed
with cancer, they visited a doctor who said he was the best cancer specialist in Europe.
Instead of saying he would try, he said he would do. He's not practicing arrogance. He
was providing reassurance because he always tried his best, he always gets good results,
and does a good job. To provide that reassurance and appear more confident to others,
don't be shy to own what you're good at. Tell other people that you are the best of the best
when it comes to what you do. I also love Tamarisa taught us about the strategy to reframe all of our
problems using the three P's. I think this is super effective. So when
you're hurt, upset or angry, remember these three P's. Think about if the problem you're
having is permanent, personal or pervasive. If something isn't permanent, personal or
pervasive, it can't hurt you. Sometimes when a minor inconvenience comes along, we think
it's the end-all-beal. But going But going through these three piece again, that's permanent, personal or pervasive, that can help you weigh the gravity
of your situation. And then you realize that this problem is really not even a problem.
It's not permanent. It's not personal and it's not pervasive. It's not going to last forever.
And you realize that your problems can also be somebody else's fantasy. It'll make
you feel more gratitude and you'll get over it more quickly.
Marissa also started the radical I am enough movement.
We judge ourselves as not enough in so many ways.
We think that we're not enough, we think we need more of something.
The not-enoughness is an epidemic that people are going through.
It is a game changer to start believing that you are enough.
This is a statement I encourage all of you guys to let in and say every single day.
By just saying those three words, I am enough, we can change our brains, thought patterns,
and come to a place of self-love.

When we're babies and children, we're born just stepping into fear and seeing it as excitement and evolution.
Like a baby doesn't lay there and say, well, I've never crawled before.
I don't know if I should give this a shot.
And then once they're crawling, they don't say, well, I don't know if I should give this a shot. And then once they're crawling, they don't say,
well, I don't know if I should try to stand up.
They just do.
They step into the fear.
And when you look back on your life
before people put limitations on you and you accepted them,
before people told you you shouldn't try this,
before people told you to go get in one lane,
we innately knew continually to step into the fear,
step into the unknown and that's how our life would accelerate.
And so it's interesting, you know, based upon who you surround
yourself with, if you follow your passions or don't, you know,
what story you tell yourself, you could be the one that's holding
you back or you could be surrounding yourself with people
holding you back or you could be in a situation where, you know, or you could be surrounding yourself with people holding you back, or you could be in a situation where,
you know, you're not tapping into your real talents,
but what I've learned is that in the past two years,
I've grown more as a person, as a professional,
than I ever had in the last 14 years at that company.
And that's really sad for me to understand that now,
because I can imagine how much further
I would actually be in life if I had been leaning into the fear, if I had been going to the
next level every time that I got up to bat, you know, but I hadn't been, I had been doing
the opposite.
I was holding myself back so I could continue to fit into an environment that I had really
outgrown.
So it ends up being a real gift to say,
listen, if you're not scared today, you're not pushing the envelope, you're not growing.
We were not built or born to just sit somewhere and be stagnant or even really to shrink.
So why not step into that fear? Why not ask that person on the day? Why not write that book? Why not
launch that show? Again, if you like this episode and you want to learn more
