Are my Happier People podcast and vlog episodes too long at 20 minutes each? Would you prefer a 5 minute maximum as I used for day 142 here? Help me learn how to best serve you by liking, disliking, or commenting on this video on YouTube, Facebook, or @jerrybanfield on Twitter to show me what format is best. With an average of 20 minutes per Happier People vlog and podcast, I have seen feedback from some saying it is a perfect length for driving to work while others suggest shorter videos would be better because the longer videos bring up a thought of "I will not finish it anyway, why even start?" Today I am grateful to have the courage to not get so attached to how I do everything and to ask for help consistently as I have done here. Thank you for reading about day 142 of Happier People podcast! My exercise is to be willing to receive feedback instead of being defensive about the suggestions I receive!

What makes us struggle to put into action what we know? Why we find it challenging to eat healthy when we know how? When we work hard to learn the facts, why do we then seem unable to benefit or feel even worse than when we started? Hear my stories of struggling to do any better even when I knew how and maybe the path will become easier for you! My exercise is to notice any disconnection today between where I know what to do and I do the opposite. I noticed a small one in writing this description as I was uploading. In the small space between starting my upload and tabbing Google Chrome over to Evernote to write my description, I knew I would be better off avoiding checking the cryptocurrency prices BUT I did it anyway. 5 minutes later, I felt worse and tabbed back over here to share that even as I look at this in my own life, the constant temptation is there to deviate from the path that seems simple and obvious into complexity and opportunity. Thank you for reading about day 141 of Happier People podcast here with me and I hope you enjoy it!

This morning I woke up in a FOUL mood and within just a few minutes I was able to change it into an amazing feeling of JOY! Would you like to hear the story and exactly what I did? First, I honestly admitted I was full of fear, anxiety, and on the edge of another day filled with depression. Before getting out of bed, I prayed to stay sober and be unconditionally loving with the people in my life. In getting out of the bedroom, I spent around 30 minutes getting my daughter ready for the day from diaper change to a new outfit, reading, and play time. During this time, I felt so bad I cried on and off for half the time WITHOUT choosing a REASON that I felt that way. The feeling was there and rationally there was nothing wrong. Many times in my life I had fell into the trap of creating someone outside of me to blame when the truth is sometimes we just feel bad for no reason. After the miracle of not pointing a reason outside of me for how I felt, I took action based on what works for Tony Robbins to PRIME himself each day to be of maximum service as explained by Tim Ferriss in Tools of Titans which I read last night. With the way I felt, I was motivated to try something new in addition to what I already do. While spending time with my daughter, I started on thinking about 3 things I was grateful for, 3 things I wanted to accomplish, and consciously experiencing the presence of God as suggested by Tony Robbins based on what he does. I went in and made my bed. I made a cup of matcha green tea. I read my two meditation books I use with AA. I did ten pushups. Then, I made what seemed like a big leap of faith at the time. Strip down and take a cold shower for at least 30 seconds. Right when I was turning on the water, I experienced the height of the discomfort and started yelling as the water which probably was only 60 degrees Fahrenheit hit my skin. Immediately my gloomy mood broke and my body felt awake, alive, and happy. I walked in and recording this podcast as if the mood never happened amazed to see how easy it is to correct rolling out of bed on the wrong side. My exercise for today is to watch for any more suggestions I receive from others which might help me make small adjustments throughout the day! Thank you for reading about day 138 of Happier People podcast and I hope you enjoy it!

Hear how my endless quest to be a good person is based on the idea of a bad person and what I hope to do today to love unconditionally and be of service to you today during day 137 of Happier People podcast! My exercise for today is to keep looking as to whether I am doing something with the hope of being a good person or simply because I enjoy doing it?

In listening to my second song which is a remix of the first EDM or electronic dance music I did, one viewer suggested the name "Cause of High" because after listening to this, you might need to alter your mood! Then, when asked, you might point to this song as the cause of your high!

My Dash crypto videos are apparently so bad that hiring me to make more according to the masternode votes is worse than destroying the Dash and giving it to no one! Yesterday I submitted a Dash budget proposal to my fellow masternode owners for the April 2017 payment which currently has $450,000+ in Dash cryptocurrency which will be BURNED if it is not given to anyone. I asked for the same amount of 215 Dash another proposal is currently prepared to receive in exchange for making 2 videos per week about Dash on YouTube at https://www.dashcentral.org/p/dash-detailed-2-shows. This is an awesome show which I voted yes on to fund the proposal. In my proposal at https://www.dashcentral.org/p/discoverdash I accepted that I am newer to the Dash community and offered to spend the majority 51.6% of my funding on Facebook and YouTube ads on the videos I made. Using the data from my previously funded proposals, voting yes on this proposal would likely share Dash with 6 million people online.

While I thought this makes an outstanding proposal against a budget with NO COMPETITION, the initial votes are 25 Yes / 75 No / 14 Abstain including my yes vote! IS THIS CRAZY OR WHAT? The Dash will literally be deleted and no one else is offering to do any online advertising when the budget guidelines specifically state that this is one of the primary purposes of the budget.

Wait until you see the comments! I have not read them yet and I will do so live! I bet they are amazing!

My exercise for today is to accept that my fellow Dash masternode owners are really helping me EITHER WAY! The no votes encourage me to stop making videos about Dash and to instead focus completely on making music. Seeing the response from the community is also a chance to offer unconditional love instead of judgement which is challenging me to grow to say the least!

Thank you for reading about day 136 of Happier People podcast! My exercise today is to remember that I trust my fellow human beings and that we all are really trying to help each other. The harder it is to see, the more potential I have to grow wise!

With the cost being $500+ to submit a Dash budget proposal at https://www.dashcentral.org/budget and with me having failed receive funding on 4 out of 6, am I crazy to try another one today? In my newest Dash budget proposal, I am asking for the same amount as an existing proposal by Amanda B. Johnson that has received overwhelmingly positive feedback at https://www.dashcentral.org/p/dash-detailed-2-shows. In my proposal, I am going to offer to make the same amount of videos and spend 50% of the budget advertising the videos I make on Facebook and YouTube. Honestly I have been scared to do this which is why I am making day 135 of my Happier People podcast about this! What if the Dash masternode owners vote no again? What if I do get funding and it ends up being a lot of work I do not enjoy? What if I run out of ideas for videos? What if people hate my videos? Thankfully today I avoid making decisions based on fear thinking and I think about what I love and am grateful for. I love the Dash community for giving me a chance to be of service. I love you watching or reading this. I am grateful that even as a newcomer to the Dash community I received 68 Dash from the last budget for doing about half of what I hope to do on this new proposal. I am grateful I already have a great filming setup and can make videos about whatever I want. After facing my fears so many times, I have learned to do it afraid if I am doing it for the right reasons. The right reason to me is to take a leap of faith and make myself available for service. Asking for a smaller amount has been very tempting also because I hate getting rejected. What I have learned there is to ask for an amount I would be very excited to serve with even if the price drops 70% between when I make the proposal and when I get funding. It is in everyone's best interest that I either give everything I have to contribute or do not make an effort at all! Thank you for reading here with me today! My exercise is to remember in the face of fear what I love and what I am grateful for followed by taking appropriate action.
