Recruit yourself

Treat yourself as if you were to treat a best friend, don’t make fun of yourself when wanting to achieve something. If your friend were to be talking bad about themselves what will you do.

We push back our emotions by using dopamine sources, and not being present.

Picture the relentless struggle of cavemen, battling daily for survival. Today, everything is handed to us—food, shelter, water. Yet, where is our challenge? What is our adversity? Why do we remain stagnant?

What is self-improvement?

Practice delayed gratification over instant gratification

Story:

When I was working at Domino’s at one point, I was constantly listening to self-improvement podcasts and I slowly molded into this concept or idea, I was once someone who would stay up late playing games at night possibly even jacking off but now, its different. I still stay up late, but this time its for my good.

Self Improvement is life long, once you’re committed there is no going back because you’re going to realize you could always be doing something better

Self Improvement can be categorized by 1-5 Stages

First Stage: You have no idea what it is besides motivation or discipline being in your vocab

Second Stage: You have an idea of what it is, yet you don’t use it at all only in your 3 am motivation

Third Stage: You finally caught glimpse of what self improvement is and it is the start of the exponential growth, you learn

Fourth Stage: This is where you feel exponential growth, just like in stage 2 you only did it once a month, now you miss a day once a month or even week

Fifth Stage: Lifestyle, the point where when you talk to someone and you see their awful habits you realize like damn is this seriously their life.

One issue I’ve always had when on self improvement would be when I fail at a task or even God forbid i jerk off, I would beat myself up, and really be down for a couple of days thinking im out of self improvement. We have to take account that life really a up trajectory until you zoom out, but days could get rough.

Let me tell you that getting up beat is the best thing you can do, you will always fail but to know what a high is you must know what a low is.

After you reach the Fourth of Fifth Stage after a while, that exponential growth is gone now you will have to switch from Macro tasks to Micro tasks,

Macro would be going to the gym , micro would be stretching before you start in the gym.

- Write every-single task down to even what you consider the “stupid” ones.

- In-order to know what your important/unimportant task are, you must have set short/long term goals.

- Prioritize what you consider important

- Deprioritize to what you consider not as important

- Warm up your activities before you hop into it.

- Example 1: If I am eating and I know I NEED to meditate right afterwards I’d slow my breath, calm my mind.

- Example 2: If I am meditating and I NEED to get ready for the gym, I’d bring King/Beast Affirmation and I’d raise my testosterone by using my mind.

- Deep Work

- Common Advice: Always start with the basics to have a Down-UP approach

- Don’t learn the foundations, learn in advanced parts, invest in a high ROI

- Try Up-Down instead, some of the basics are important while time is against us.

- After you understand the differences between basic and advanced the lines start to blur

- Not all foundation or resources are good

- Devils Advocate: When learning the alphabet or a language, a down-up approach is a-lot better.

- E

- Our body’s master-clock or what others call . It is dependent on our routines and diet

- What impacts it: Light / Time of the day / Melatonin / Sleep / Hydration

- Everyone’s Rhythm is different, some operate best during the night, others during the day.

- It is your task for today to figure out when do you best operate, write your energy levels, physical and mental state every 2/3 hours.

- Consequences: Sleep, Cognitive, Hormonal, Immune system, No productivity

In this episode, I instructively speak on my difficulties and the hardships other go through, especially while on self improvement. From deep and dark moments until at-least a speck of sunlight strikes the board. It's a hard life out there and so much vices and reasons to keep you distracted that its almost exhausting to do something you want.
