The No-Code Advantage

When you change your environment, you may find the tendency to get anxious or excited - or maybe both. The key to remember is that you don't change WHO YOU ARE just because you're in a different environment or situation. You are still you, no matter where you are or what is going on.

This might seem self-explanatory, but is still important to remember because in this new world of constant change and turmoil, we can experience different levels of stress due to these new "environments." All that is happening is your brain is reacting to something new it has never seen or experienced before, which naturally causes some confusion and anxiety.

How do you react to new environments or situations? With anxiety or excitement (or both)?

When it comes to choices - we all face a daily choice: 

- Be comfortable and stay the same

- Get uncomfortable and be weird

It is very uncomfortable to be different and weird and "interesting" because most people these days don't accept that type of behavior. There will inevitably be people that persecute you, call you wicked, hate on you or straight ignore you when you decide to do something different.

The beauty in that is that it doesn't matter what they think - as long as you are living in your authentic truth and have nothing to hide, you have absolutely nothing to be sorry for.

Where in your life have you faded into the background by choosing to stay the same and how can you start to be different and weird again?

A system is any combination of elements that work together in harmony to achieve a single result. There can be simple or complex systems, but the common thread is that the entire system is dependent on all parts working together and playing their role.

Inside of the "system of your life" you can often become the weak link. 

What is the constant weak link inside of all these examples? - You.

"You can be your own worst enemy, but you are also your greatest asset." - Dan Hafner

Where in your life are you constantly blaming something external for your lack of results, but ultimately it comes down to you being the weak link?

In the game of life, we all face this continual problem of constantly shifting priorities. 

No matter where you live, what you do, who you are or what you're about - you will have this problem at some level at some point.

So how do you deal with this issue of constant fires, other people's issues, work projects and family life?

Write your priorities and tasks down BY HAND IN A JOURNAL OR ON A PIECE OF PAPER.

The power that comes with writing things out by hand is incredible. Yes - there are tons of digital resources out there in this day and age, but time after time I personally have found more production and meaning in writing my goals down by hand.

Maybe this approach isn't for you - but then again maybe you just need to try it out.

It's absolutely insane how everything in life is connected in one way or another! 

Think about it - where would you be in your life if you hadn't made the small decision to take that job, or meet that person, or go to that party, or adopt that dog, or buy that house?

The more I live, the more I see just how connected everything is, and how big of an impact the small decisions make on our larger-scale lives.

So - where in your life have you seen that everything is connected?

Ultimately - everything has an expiration date!

Going through something shitty? - Great! It won't last forever!

Going through something awesome? - Great! Enjoy it now because eventually it will end.

Everything in life will end at some point, which brings in this amazingly humble feeling to our ups and downs and feelings and everything in between.

Once you can accept the fact that nothing will last - not the success you've created nor the shitiness you've created - life becomes so much less stressful and chaotic.

Where in your life are you going through something good, and you need to slow down and appreciate that it won't last forever?

Also - where in your life are you going through something not so good and you just need to realize that you will make it out of the woods at some point?

The only way you’ll change to level-up the outputs (results) you’re getting in your life is to change the inputs. This might mean connecting to a different “source” of knowledge, inspiration or coaching. 

Where in your life do you need to change the inputs you currently have?
