As someone who has been an avid student of Tony Robbins, attending his UPW, Date with Destiny, and Business Mastery 2 events, I've come to appreciate the power of his "Triple S Technique": State, Story, and Strategy. This technique is a cornerstone of Tony's teachings, and I've found it to be incredibly effective in my own life. In this post, I'll delve into the details of this transformative approach and share how it has helped me navigate the challenges of daily life.
The Challenge: Shifting the Mind with the Mind
One of the most profound lessons I've learned from Tony Robbins is that it's incredibly difficult to shift your mindset using your mind alone. When you're in a negative state, your mind becomes a breeding ground for more negativity, making it almost impossible to come up with constructive solutions. It's like trying to clean a muddy puddle with more mud; it just doesn't work.
The Solution: State, Story, Strategy
Tony Robbins never lets us brainstorm or strategise in a poor state. Instead, he introduces us to the Triple S Technique:
State: The first step is to change your physical state. This could be through movement, breathing exercises or even a cold shower. The idea is to shake off the negative energy and make room for positivity.
Story: Once your state has shifted, the next step is to change your story. Adopting an attitude of gratitude or focusing on your strengths can dramatically alter your perspective.
Strategy: Only after you've managed to shift your state and story should you move on to strategising your future. Now, your mind is in the right place to come up with effective and constructive plans.
My Daily Practice
Every morning, I start my day with a cold shower to instantly change my physical state. It's like hitting the reset button on my body and mind. Then, I adopt an attitude of gratitude, reminding myself of all the blessings and challenges in my life, effectively shifting my story. Finally, I move on to strategising my day, setting goals and planning tasks with a clear, positive mindset.
Throughout the day, whenever I feel stressed or overwhelmed, I use different breathing techniques like the Wim Hof Method to shift my state. Once again, I adopt an attitude of gratitude before moving on to strategising solutions to whatever challenges I'm facing.
The Triple S Technique by Tony Robbins is a simple yet powerful method to ensure that you're always operating from a place of positivity and clarity. By first focusing on your state and story, you set the stage for effective strategising, ensuring that you're not just solving problems, but solving them well.
So, the next time you find yourself stuck in a negative loop, remember the Triple S Technique: Shift your State, change your Story, and only then, Strategise your future. It's a formula that has worked wonders for me, and I'm confident it will do the same for you.
