Daily Challenge 06/11
Daily Challenges:
Finish reading Mind at Play
I finally got Whispersync to work with Audible and Kindle. I am trying to highlight key quotes that are stirring thoughts for me and making notes of what those thoughts are. When I listen at the gym, I just make notes of what thoughts are stirring and this is a practice that I will continue. I am working on pulling more quotes because I really enjoy how in the Founder’s Podcast he creates a vision of who this person is.
I think I want to really synthesize who the person is with a couple of quotes and what I admire about them. We will see how I feel about this when I sit down to record. That’s typically where things change
Brainstorm life at 28 video again - what am I actually doing?
It is really important to me that I share the life lessons and I will do this in the description. Maybe I use the life lessons to steer me into what I am doing now.
I wrote out a list of lessons that resonate with me at this point in my life, afterall, that is what we are capturing here-but I want to talk to you about what I am doing.
Actions are the visible measures of your intentions and I think it best captures the lessons that I have internalized. So here is what I have actually learned or what I am currently internalizing:
Here are the lessons that I would like to learn but I am still getting a grip on. It’s not that I don’t think they are valuable, they just haven’t resonated enough to act on.
Take for instance, fitness and health.
Dog died, queued existential crisis and introspection. Fat fat fat fat. I should really care about my health. Fat fat fat fat fat. I really need to care about this. Fat fat fat fat. I want to make this a priority and I need help. Research. Fat fat. I’m done. Hire help. Get ripped. Feel better. Look better.
I knew what I wanted to do. What I needed to do. But it took a massive amount of stimulus and self-loathing to take action.
Challenges for the Week:
Give me a chance:
This will be ongoing. I have to lock in over the next few months to be ready for a big opportunity.
2 Videos Posted this Week (M65 and Life Lessons at 28)
Skills: Uploading, Thumbnail Creation, Editing
Progress: Reading Mind at Play is taking forever because I am taking notes throughout. It’s enjoyable reading it but I am nervous as to how I am going to break this down.
Also ideated more on the living autobiography. I love the concept and think it could be incredibly interesting for people and myself. I drafted a new channel preview - thinking it is a little serious and that I may need to dial it back just a hair but I really want to increase the production value.
Temperance w/ a twist:
100% Diet Adherence-kinda (I have to adhere to the calories and most of the meals but can have snacks)
Skills: practice temperance
Progress: Dakota has learned from himself that things without calories readily available need to be measured out or he doesn’t count said calories and therefore goes way over budget (mentally) because he has no idea where he is at. I would like a breakfast burrito tomorrow and know that it will be 1400 calories or less and can plan accordingly. By failing over and over and over again, I know that I need to know the amount of calories going into my body in the easiest way possible which simply comes down to planning. I would like to enjoy this week while maintaining the 220 before I get into maingain mode. Finally. I’m so hungry. But the hunger has been kinda nice because I appreciate food way more. It’s just hard to stop eating once I start.
Discipline:
In bed by 10:00 PM
Skills: discipline and health
Progress: Ummm. It’s 11:00.
Note:
My ankle is super stiff today. My knee started hurting on my leg extensions (one of my favorite leg exercises). My body just feels tired.
I also think I need to decrease caffeine intake for a little bit. I typically intake over 500mg as I never really feel the effect but I feel like I am not feeling anything at all from it and that could be factoring into how tired my body is.
Truman got his stitches removed today and was a crackhead.
Syd finished staging her second living room. I am so proud of her. It looks great and she was ballin’ on a budget. I’ve been super impressed by her.
