Mel Robbins：积极的生活需要勇气和自信，运用研究成果中提到的简单工具（如纹身、有意义的座右铭和环境暗示）来表达自我，梦想更大。这些工具可以作为生活中的指引，帮助人们在关键时刻保持最佳状态。 Mel Robbins：纹身"IT shall be"是她生活中的指引，帮助她在困难时期保持信念和坚持。这个座右铭提醒她即使在最艰难的时刻，只要坚持努力，相信自己，最终一切都会好转。 Mel Robbins：积极的自我暗示和环境触发器可以帮助人们建立积极的思维模式和行为习惯。选择一个能让你产生共鸣的座右铭，并将其放置在你经常看到的地方，可以不断提醒你保持积极乐观的心态。 Mel Robbins：座右铭只有在真正相信其含义时才有效。如果你的行为和心态与座右铭相悖，那么座右铭反而会适得其反。 Chris Robbins：他父亲教导他专注于当下，一次只关注一个目标（“one gate at a time”），而不是结果。这个理念帮助他克服焦虑，专注于眼前的任务。 Chris Robbins：他将父亲手写的“one gate at a time”纹在手臂上，作为提醒自己专注于当下的动力。这个纹身帮助他在面对挑战时保持冷静和专注。 Chris Robbins：环境触发器（如照片、纹身等）可以帮助人们保持积极的心态，并提醒他们自己的目标和价值观。选择一个能让你产生共鸣的图片或文字，并将其放置在你经常看到的地方，可以不断提醒你保持积极乐观的心态。

Chapters
Mel Robbins and her husband, Chris, share the story behind their tattoos, which they got on their 15th wedding anniversary. Mel's tattoo, 'IT shall be,' serves as a powerful reminder of her belief in perseverance and faith.
  • Mel's tattoo 'IT shall be' was inspired by a phrase she often used in coaching.
  • Chris's tattoo 'One gate' was inspired by his father's advice to take life one step at a time.
  • Both tattoos act as environmental triggers to remind them of their personal mantras.

Shownotes Transcript

In today’s episode, I’m finally answering the #1 personal question that I get asked:

 

What’s the story behind my tattoo on my right wrist?

 

Pull up a seat to laugh along with us as Chris and I share our tattoo adventure - complete with anxiety, jealousy, intention, love, a huge mistake on my part, and the most incredible moments of synchronicity.

 

But it’s not just a story; there’s a much more profound topic we are discussing today. 

 

Because tattoos aren’t really about tattoos. 

 

They are an example of a powerful, positive force that habit researchers call an “environmental trigger.” 

 

They’re also an example of another tool that you can use to create a more powerful and resilient mindset.

 

Because a lot of tattoos are also “meaningful mantras.” 

 

Today, you will learn how to create and use positive triggers and meaningful mantras to improve your life and to remind you of either a deeper purpose or the values you want to live by.

 

This goes way beyond etching ink onto your body. 

 

By the end of this episode, you’ll not only be inspired to create your own meaningful mantra, you will have several specific examples of how you can create a positive environmental trigger using things you have around your house. 

 

One thing’s for sure, this episode will leave a lasting impression. 😄
