So often in our lives, we've adapted to be a certain way so that we don't fail, or so people will like us, etc. But it's not necessarily who we really are. And the strongest force in the human personality, is the need to stay consistent with how we define ourselves/who we believe we are. And because of this, some of us can end up in a loop. Living in this subpar reality for much longer than we need to. And that's why you Need to Break the Cycle! I'm sorry for the sporadic posting lately, I'm working on exactly what I talk about in this episode and I will be back to creating regularly! Thank you all for your continued support!! ❤️
For the last 3 days I've been listening to mostly Jordan Peterson's content. So it felt appropriate today to talk about some of the things I've learned. Learning to rise above the things we shy away from doing. And facing the many fears we have is a critical component in your growth as an individual. Thank you for taking the time to listen :) And when you're finished, go Check out Jordan Peterson's videos on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY48e1oDXSU&list=PLxUTraCUMzA-UAC190uZeWuv72YwzeKxd&index=102&t=185s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYJp813tGH4&list=PLxUTraCUMzA-UAC190uZeWuv72YwzeKxd&index=93&t=1030s

Since we're now 16 episodes in, I decided I needed a hard reset. To take a step back from all the everyday distractions, and figure out what I need to do to challenge myself in the months to come. I decided to go about this after stumbling upon a guy named Andrew Kirby's Youtube series: Dopamine Detox. This detox is meant to distance you from instantly gratifying behaviors ( Such as Netflix, Social Media, & Drugs ), and replace these habits/behaviors with deeper, more fulfilling activities. Specifically the one that interested me the most. Which was the ability to become aware of the thoughts you're having, and to be able to sit alone with those thoughts, and create dopamine simply by harnessing the power of your own mind and learning to enjoy sitting still. I will be documenting my journey through this challenge over the weeks to come.
Let me ask you this..If you had a really bad day, would you carry those feelings with you for the rest of the day? Or would you try and do something to change how you feel? We're all exposed to these situations of extreme stress, and when that happens it's much harder for us to do what's best for us and the people around us. That's why learning to manage your state and becoming aware of how to consciously change your mood can be so powerful. In this episode I discuss some of the important things you to focus on when you're having one of those days, and how you can initiate that change.
Most of the time, it feels good to get things done. Whether you liked what you were doing or not, a sense of accomplishment is something we all gain satisfaction from. So why is it that we only like getting those things done sometimes? Because most of us lack the energy to get those things done on a regular basis. This is why discipline plays a vital role in one's pursuit of a better life. By creating routines that generate/replenish our energy, rather than consuming/take it away, you start to get things done to feel good, rather than the other way around. And the way we create routines, by integrating these replenishing habits into our daily lives even on the days we don't want to is a mental muscle that the majority of people don't have. In this episode we learn how harnessing discipline can benefit you in your own life and create better, longer lasting energy. Hope you guys enjoy! Have a great weekend ❤️❤️
In this pursuit of a better life that the majority of us find ourselves on. We are all eventually met by the same block in the road. You can only do/learn/master so much by yourself. And that's why finding good mentors/role models for the different areas of our lives is so important. Today we'll dive into how you can start seeking out your own mentors, as well as some personal recommendations of people who've provided me value day to day, and hopefully provide a starting point for some of you!! Love you guys ❤️ Thank you to everyone who is taking the time to listen :) It means a lot fr. Make today a Great day, Everyday!
