The No-Code Advantage

In this crazy-ass COVID-19 world, there seem to be two extremes of opinion: 

1. Wear a mask all the time

2. Don't wear a mask at all

Isn't it interesting how we find ourselves being judgemental, fearful and even hateful towards other people according to whether they are wearing a mask or not? I've noticed where I live in WV, many people are NOT wearing masks, and yet we are not having a widespread outbreak yet. 

The most interesting piece of all this is that the entire thing seems to be one big social experiment in regards to masks. How to we treat each other? How do we respond to those not wearing masks. There are lots of interesting questions for reflection here.

Humans are creatures of habit. Plain and simple - this is a fact. What I'll have you consider is that the underlying stories in your own mind are the things truly driving your habits and behavior.

We are what we repeatedly do. We are also what we repeatedly think. Therefore, the thoughts you're having and the stories you're telling yourself are driving both the good and bad behaviors you exhibit.

Daily challenge: Identify one habit that you have in your life and list out the underlying stories that might be driving that behavior.

There will always be people who look, think and see things differently than you. No matter what path you go down, there will always be someone that thinks it is stupid, silly, wrong, wicked or clueless. Ultimately there is not much you can do about these people except to keep doing your thing.

On the other hand, there are always people who think you are awesome, great, innovative or inspiring. These are the people that add fuel to your journey. These are the ones to pay attention to.

Where in your life have you "gone a different way" or been "against the grain" and people have looked at you a certain way because of it? How can you put that to rest in your own mind by moving on from it and just accepting it for what it is?

Clutter in your life is confusing you. Yes, whether you'd like to admit it or not, the physical clutter you may not even see all around you is causing chaos in your life? How is this so?

A Distracted Mind is a Chaotic Mind. The more stimuli our brains deal with on a minute-by-minute basis, the less focused we can stay on one thing. This leads to constant distractions, which leads to less productivity, which leads to less happiness in general for most people.

So how do you fix it? Plain and simple- clean up your shit! 

Challenge: Find the physical clutter in your life and just commit the time and effort to clean it up - then see what happens to your mental state...

When you push your body physically, things change in other areas of your life for the better. Are you struggling in your career, stuck in a rut or need a reboot in your relationship? Trying getting your ass up early and working out!

When I was starting a new job, I got up at 4:30 every single day and did Insanity workouts every day for 30 days. Yes it sucked. No, it was not fun. But you know what happened? I launched my new career with an edge, make huge leaps forward and turned my life around within 30 days.

Trust me - get up early and workout. You'll thank yourself soon enough.

The past month has been an absolute roller-coaster, gut-wrenching and soul-searching month - but we kicked it's ass and we are back.

Note: The Run Your Day podcast will return on a weekly basis (possibly more) but will still be providing the same level of motivation and fire that it used to. Buckle up my friends!
