Welcome back to the show, Episode 9 - Hope you're having a great December! This is a docu-series on growth/self-improvement, tech, sports and experiences for building a valuable life.

Here are my notes for this week – Check me out on Twitter and Instagram for other things going on -  @trevorsean12

Schedule

Use a schedule to map out your day. Let it be your guide for things that you have to get done and also want to get done. Sit down and plan out your most perfect day. What time you'd wake up, what activities are hard that are good for you that you need, what activities are great for your leisure time that you can look forward to? 

Write it down, and try it - it literally changes your life. 

Pace

I talk about find your own pace. There's a lot of opinions on how hard you have to work, the timing of everything, etc etc - More than ever, I believe that value and quality will get you where you want to go. Start somewhere and be consistent - then see where that takes you. 

Cold Challenge

Recently came across a podcast with Jordan Peterson and Wim Hof where Wim talks about the benefits of the cold for your body and your mind and it caught me. It's been fun to challenge myself to difficult things that are so beneficial for me and that euphoric feeling after you complete it. 

So, challenge yourself to ending your showers with cold water. Start at 30 seconds, work up to 2 and 1/2 minutes. Video below:

Listen to yourself

You have to believe in yourself and work the way you work or you'll always be someone you're not. I definitely think it's important to talk to people, share ideas, get feedback and learn. But the hardest and most important thing is to take all that information and decide what you want to do with it. It's your life, you get to make the call. 

Quote

“To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities—I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not—that one endures.”
