Start Creating An Excellent Relationship With Yourself

November 26, 2021 Leave a Comment

If you’ll forgive me, I’m going to make a few assumptions about you:

– You know what you should be doing, and you’re not doing it.- If you DID do it, today and daily, you would create an entirely better life for yourself.- You experience a lot of conflict with yourself.- You know you should be kinder to yourself, but you’re not.- You feel insecure, you feel that you’re not where you should be in life.- This makes you feel guilt, shame, and regret.

Is this you? Please don’t worry; it’s all of us.

The programming: Look at your phone. Look at your TV. Look at your computer. Answer this message. Respond to this prompt. Look here. Look here. Look here.

In the attention economy, your time and headspace are more valuable than ever — which has spawned a massive ecosystem of profit-driven companies who compete for it. Unguarded, you’ll find yourself doing their bidding — clicking, tapping and swiping as life goes by.

Please stop telling yourself “it will all change tomorrow” because it won’t and you know it…

You’re not just going to wake up as a productive supersoldier.

You have to start implementing seemingly small changes today, and building on them every day or every week.

Our bodies and minds don’t like dramatic change of any kind, so you need to take small steps in the right direction.

Get up 15 minutes earlier than usual, not 3 hours.

8 Uncomfortable Lessons That We All Need To Learn

1. Your self-love must be h3er than your desire to be loved

If you’re not happy now, there’s no amount of followers, positive social media comments, or Instagram likes that will change that. External validation isn’t happiness – it’s a hamster wheel. Validation is an inside job. The most convincing sign that someone is truly living their “best life”, is their lack of desire to show the world that they’re living their best life. Your “best life” won’t seek external validation, but insecurity continually will.

Everybody knows the benefits of lifting weights but it isn’t the only game in town that can build your body and mind. Learning how to fight also has a place as one of the key things all men (and wo

men) should do to get the most out of their life experience. Sound like an exaggeration? It’s really not, especially when you consider learning how to fight has been a rite of passage since the beginning of time in many dominant cultures. It is only in recent times that the practice of channeled aggression has been given a bad rap.

Be Intentional When Using Your Digital Devices

Be purposeful about digital

The programming: Turn to a screen whenever you need something. Anxious? Upset? Lonely? Bored? The screen has what you need. Paw at the screen like it’s a slot machine. Trigger those hits of dopamine. Relish your superiority. It’s fine to take a spin on the hamster wheel of impulse gratification every once in a while. Where it kills you is when it becomes a way of life. When your every waking moment is filled with Instagram binges, and little tappy games, and refreshing your news apps, and texting friends, then — that’s where your dreams die.

Your odds of success increase if you stop abusing yourself.

So what’s self-abuse? It’s whenever you insult, bully, judge, punish, or even overly-push yourself. Where, if you were to treat someone else the way you treat YOU, most people would think you’re being an asshole – that’s self-abuse.

Life isn’t fair.

Get the fuck over it.

Complaining has zero positive impact on your life.

You waste valuable time, you put yourself in a negative state of mind, make yourself really unattractive, and repel people like magnets because frankly…

No one else cares, nobody wants to hear about it.

Not your best friends. Not your mom. Not your girlfriend. No one.

How To Stop Being Afraid of Looking Stupid

September 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

Fear of looking stupid is the #1 killer of dreams.

The worst part? The people who make you feel stupid are usually the ones least qualified to judge someone else’s life. Their own lives are falling apart, yet they constantly tear down others around them.

I was talking with my friend the other day, and he told me about an incident in 1st grade that would shape his life for the next 20 years.

Would Your Ideal Self Act This Way?

I have found that when I want to do something I shouldn’t do I think “Do I want to be the kind of person who does this?” or if there is something that I should do but am not doing I think

“Do I want to be the kind of person that doesn’t do this?”

Which reminds me of the gap between who I am and who I want to be and helps me move towards who I want to be.

Try it next time you think you shouldn’t do something but ignore that feeling, think, “Do I want to be the kind of person that does this?”

So sometimes you aren’t being better because you feel like being better, but simply because you see yourself in the future as someone who is better
