The Daily Man-Up: How To Get Yourself Out Of Bed On Time, Consistently, Forever.

November 5, 2019 Leave a Comment

Why is it important to get out of bed on time consistently?

I assume that you and I are already in agreement that getting out of bed on time is absolutely KEY to most other forms of long-term success.

But if not, here’s why:

Getting out of bed on time, with the FIRST alarm, means that you can start your day with intention. It means you’re getting up on purpose as opposed to being dragged or forced out of bed. It means you CHOOSE to get out of bed. It will subtly influence how the rest of your entire day plays out.

The Daily Man-Up: How to Be Less Socially Awkward

Growing up, I was never a particularly social or outgoing guy. I wasn’t one of the “popular” kids in high school or college and I leaned toward an introverted personality type. Quiet, reserved, and a little shy.

For most of my early 20’s, I found myself just nodding along and agreeing with what other people said because I’d never put in the effort to develop my own unique personality.

Whenever I was talking with someone and a third person entered the conversation, I quickly faded into obscurity while everyone else joked and chatted.

I assumed the role of the “Silent Third Wheel”, a sort of spectator in social settings…someone sitting on the sidelines rather than acting as a leader of conversations and interactions.

The Daily Man-Up: Start Creating An Excellent Relationship With Yourself

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 Daily Man-Up: What it REALLY Means to Be a Beta Male

Being a beta male has nothing to do with your physical strength, financial success, or aptitude with women and dating.

These external factors can serve as indicators of whether a man is an alpha or beta, but in and of themselves, they are insufficient to “diagnose” a man entirely as alpha or beta. Because the defining characteristic of a beta male is not their external successes (or lack thereof), but the driving force behind those successes.

You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won’t be the best workout you have, you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.

The Daily Man-Up: Don’t Rely On Motivation For Anything

Because motivation is fleeting and unreliable. Discipline, however, is unyielding. Force yourself to follow through.

“I don’t want to ” shouldn’t even be a factor when considering whether or nor not to work out today. Eliminate your personal wants and just abide by a set of life rules that you set in stone for yourself, and follow through with those.

The Daily Man-Up: Why You Must Stop Overthinking & Start Taking Action

The only reason you haven’t started taking action yet is that you’re in analysis paralysis or afraid of what other people will think.

When you continue to analyze each possible outcome it stops you in your tracks. It’s normal to think things through till the end but when you stay in thinking mode you never take action. It’s okay to fail, you’ll get better anyway.

We are all born savages.

Our bodies adapt to so many different environments- when it is is injured, it finds a way to keep our major organs alive longer. When we are hot, it finds a way to cool us down as much as possible. When it is cold, it finds a way to keep our major organs functioning. I can give so many examples of how our bodies are made to go the distance. The problem is while our bodies are built to go the distance, our minds are not conditioned to do the same.

The Daily Man-Up: Defeating the ‘Urge To Do Nothing’

August 9, 2019 Leave a Comment

About 5 months ago I made the leap to try and start my own web development business, and since then I’ve found that my biggest obstacle to success is discipline and getting over this ‘Urge To Do Nothing’. It usually manifests in my brain when I try and ‘work’ from home.
