Structure Creates Endless Opportunities for Incremental Growth w/Tim Bishop
We all say we want to do things. A great example of this would be at the beginning of every year when we all make New Year's Resolutions. We say that we want to have better health, we want to be better friends, we want to finally start that business, or we want to find purpose in life.
Eventually, 90% of all people fail their new years resolutions. In fact, most people fail at most incremental change they try and make in their life. I believe this is the result of two big variables that are missing: commitment and structure.
In my life, I had been considering how do change faster in my life and how can I really learn from the experiences I am having. One of my best friends reminded me of the book Flow: The Pyschology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Mihaly is one of the creators of Positive Psychology and how us humans can best experience life. My good buddy reminded me that in order to experience FLOW there must be structure.
This got me to thinking ... I thought about how I had been doing a lot of personal development, as well as building a business as a young entrepreneur, but I didn't have much structure behind it - if any. This is when I birthed the idea of personal challenges. I decided to create structure and commitment in my life by creating challenges, announcing them publicly, and holding myself accountable to them.
Starting the podcast was a way for me to force myself to learn more about myself, the science behind being humans, and to have intimate conversations with others.
My 100 day plant based challenge was a way for me to learn more about food, nutrition, the body, and how the standard american diet isn't going to get it done.
Now I am currently doing a 100 day social media content challenge, a mindfulness meditation challenge, a meet 1 new person a day challenge, and am looking to do more. By simply adding one challenge a time, eventually it becomes habitual. At this point, you can add in a new challenge.
This has been an incredible way for me to grow and learn at an exponential rate. Please enjoy this episode of me talking about how you too can set up personal challenges in your life by creating structure.
