00:00:00 | 00:00:04 | hey everybody so this is part two it's |
00:00:02 | 00:00:07 | gonna be a three-part series of the 30 |
00:00:04 | 00:00:10 | things that I learned before I turn 30 |
00:00:07 | 00:00:13 | so just uh two weeks ago or so I turned |
00:00:10 | 00:00:16 | 30 and one thing I don't think I fully |
00:00:13 | 00:00:18 | explained in part one is that every year |
00:00:16 | 00:00:20 | at the end of the year I'll do a review |
00:00:18 | 00:00:23 | I'll do a review of everything that I |
00:00:20 | 00:00:24 | did the previous year things that I did |
00:00:23 | 00:00:27 | well things that I could have improved |
00:00:24 | 00:00:29 | upon maybe in part three I'll read the |
00:00:27 | 00:00:33 | actual questions I asked myself I also |
00:00:29 | 00:00:36 | usually once a week do a review and I |
00:00:33 | 00:00:37 | review how the week went what could go |
00:00:36 | 00:00:39 | better and then I do a planning session |
00:00:37 | 00:00:42 | at the beginning of each week so what I |
00:00:39 | 00:00:43 | did for this three-part series of 30 |
00:00:42 | 00:00:46 | things I learned before I turned 30 |
00:00:43 | 00:00:48 | was take all like the top things the |
00:00:46 | 00:00:49 | biggest lesson learned the biggest |
00:00:48 | 00:00:52 | lessons learned the things that really |
00:00:49 | 00:00:54 | impacted me and condense it down to the |
00:00:52 | 00:00:56 | things that I wish I would have known |
00:00:54 | 00:01:00 | when I was in my early 20s |
00:00:56 | 00:01:03 | so in part one I went over the first ten |
00:01:00 | 00:01:04 | things and I'll I'll tok about those at |
00:01:03 | 00:01:06 | the end of the podcast I'll repeat those |
00:01:04 | 00:01:08 | or just go listen to part one today I |
00:01:06 | 00:01:11 | got ten more things and you know what |
00:01:08 | 00:01:13 | let's just jump into it and this is a |
00:01:11 | 00:01:15 | lot of these lessons took a lot of work |
00:01:13 | 00:01:18 | and a lot of struggle for me to come to |
00:01:15 | 00:01:20 | and obviously by me just saying it might |
00:01:18 | 00:01:21 | not be enough for your brain to click |
00:01:20 | 00:01:23 | and say oh my gosh |
00:01:21 | 00:01:26 | Travis is right I need to go do this |
00:01:23 | 00:01:28 | thing but hopefully it steers you in a |
00:01:26 | 00:01:30 | correct direction for you and obviously |
00:01:28 | 00:01:33 | things that mean a lot to me might mean |
00:01:30 | 00:01:35 | nothing to you and one of the first ones |
00:01:33 | 00:01:38 | are number eleven I guess tiknically is |
00:01:35 | 00:01:42 | it's worth paying money to save time |
00:01:38 | 00:01:43 | energy or thought power whatever you |
00:01:42 | 00:01:45 | know and this is something for me |
00:01:43 | 00:01:47 | specifically is very true because I |
00:01:45 | 00:01:49 | don't like spending money my sister |
00:01:47 | 00:01:51 | growing up now you know she's a little |
00:01:49 | 00:01:52 | bit different now my sister growing up |
00:01:51 | 00:01:55 | she loves spent and she had no problem |
00:01:52 | 00:01:57 | spending money where I had a big |
00:01:55 | 00:02:00 | reservation for spending money I would |
00:01:57 | 00:02:03 | up until recently and still at times I |
00:02:00 | 00:02:04 | if I could save a few dollars I would |
00:02:03 | 00:02:07 | spend an hour doing something just to |
00:02:04 | 00:02:10 | save a few dollars we're now even if |
00:02:07 | 00:02:11 | something annoys me you know the other |
00:02:10 | 00:02:13 | day it's like you know you go to the |
00:02:11 | 00:02:15 | post office and |
00:02:13 | 00:02:17 | two dollars more expensive to ship using |
00:02:15 | 00:02:21 | the regular post-office than it would be |
00:02:17 | 00:02:22 | to go to FedEx and I know that or at |
00:02:21 | 00:02:24 | least I know that once I get there |
00:02:22 | 00:02:26 | instead of saying alright screw this I'm |
00:02:24 | 00:02:28 | gonna go to FedEx Drive it's gonna take |
00:02:26 | 00:02:29 | ten minutes to drive to FedEx it's gonna |
00:02:28 | 00:02:30 | take 10 minutes to drive back I'm gonna |
00:02:29 | 00:02:32 | have to deal with all that hassle just |
00:02:30 | 00:02:34 | to save two dollars I just say to myself |
00:02:32 | 00:02:36 | you know about whatever lesson learned |
00:02:34 | 00:02:40 | next time I know that I'm not going to |
00:02:36 | 00:02:43 | use the United States Post Office that's |
00:02:40 | 00:02:45 | one example of you know spending money |
00:02:43 | 00:02:47 | it's counterintuitive to save time |
00:02:45 | 00:02:50 | energy or thought power another example |
00:02:47 | 00:02:52 | is getting a virtual assistant for me |
00:02:50 | 00:02:56 | one of the best things I've ever done is |
00:02:52 | 00:02:57 | hiring a my first virtual assistant and |
00:02:56 | 00:02:59 | that was way back when I was living in |
00:02:57 | 00:03:01 | Brazil this was a few years ago and once |
00:02:59 | 00:03:03 | again I think in part one I toked a |
00:03:01 | 00:03:05 | little bit about my story but after I |
00:03:03 | 00:03:07 | quit my job I moved to Miami and then |
00:03:05 | 00:03:09 | after that I moved to South America and |
00:03:07 | 00:03:12 | after a little while I found myself in |
00:03:09 | 00:03:14 | Brazil and I hired a virtual assistant |
00:03:12 | 00:03:16 | and my first virtual assistant was |
00:03:14 | 00:03:18 | amazing and took care of I mean my |
00:03:16 | 00:03:21 | virtual assistants now are still amazing |
00:03:18 | 00:03:23 | but she took care of so many things that |
00:03:21 | 00:03:25 | was just taking me so much time and she |
00:03:23 | 00:03:28 | was just really smart and efficient and |
00:03:25 | 00:03:30 | I was really happy to have her so one of |
00:03:28 | 00:03:32 | the things this coming year that I'm |
00:03:30 | 00:03:34 | hoping to do and maybe even in the |
00:03:32 | 00:03:37 | remaining months of this year is to |
00:03:34 | 00:03:39 | start growing a bigger team because if |
00:03:37 | 00:03:41 | you can hire someone to work 40 hours a |
00:03:39 | 00:03:44 | week that frees up your mind that frees |
00:03:41 | 00:03:45 | up your time and your energy because the |
00:03:44 | 00:03:48 | things that you give employees to do are |
00:03:45 | 00:03:50 | the boring things to be honnest as an |
00:03:48 | 00:03:53 | entrepreneur your brainpower is better |
00:03:50 | 00:03:55 | used in high-level thinking strategizing |
00:03:53 | 00:03:57 | like seeing the big picture which I |
00:03:55 | 00:03:59 | think I'm good at and it's it's to be |
00:03:57 | 00:04:01 | honest it's hard to be good at that if |
00:03:59 | 00:04:04 | you're stuck on the ground doing all the |
00:04:01 | 00:04:05 | boring stuff so that's number 11 it's |
00:04:04 | 00:04:08 | worth paying money to save time energy |
00:04:05 | 00:04:11 | and or thought power number 12 is |
00:04:08 | 00:04:13 | growing roots is important I think it's |
00:04:11 | 00:04:16 | very important to grow to grow your |
00:04:13 | 00:04:18 | roots and what I mean by that is I've |
00:04:16 | 00:04:20 | toked about this in part one again but |
00:04:18 | 00:04:23 | one of the best things I've done is |
00:04:20 | 00:04:25 | moving back to LA moving to Santa Monica |
00:04:23 | 00:04:27 | specifically for me and there's so many |
00:04:25 | 00:04:29 | reasons for this because now |
00:04:27 | 00:04:31 | it's you can kind of get in the flow |
00:04:29 | 00:04:33 | when you're moving every few months from |
00:04:31 | 00:04:35 | one place to another place to another |
00:04:33 | 00:04:38 | place it's crazy because when you move |
00:04:35 | 00:04:39 | to a new city you have to find a bunch |
00:04:38 | 00:04:40 | of new friends |
00:04:39 | 00:04:42 | you have to even the minute like the |
00:04:40 | 00:04:44 | small things like what grocery store do |
00:04:42 | 00:04:46 | you go to what kind of food do you eat |
00:04:44 | 00:04:48 | because especially for living |
00:04:46 | 00:04:49 | internationally some of the food like |
00:04:48 | 00:04:50 | you know they might not have sweet |
00:04:49 | 00:04:52 | potatoes which I eat a decent amount or |
00:04:50 | 00:04:54 | they might not have quinoa which I'm |
00:04:52 | 00:04:55 | I've been having more of so it's like |
00:04:54 | 00:04:57 | what are you gonna be eating what gym |
00:04:55 | 00:05:01 | are you gonna go to what sports and |
00:04:57 | 00:05:03 | extracurricular activities are you gonna |
00:05:01 | 00:05:06 | be doing and so for me personally |
00:05:03 | 00:05:07 | growing roots has been very important |
00:05:06 | 00:05:11 | and also as I mentioned in the first |
00:05:07 | 00:05:13 | episode it frees up your your brain to |
00:05:11 | 00:05:15 | think about other things now I didn't do |
00:05:13 | 00:05:18 | a very good job in part one I think of |
00:05:15 | 00:05:20 | explaining what I'm toking when I |
00:05:18 | 00:05:22 | toked about basically focus on one |
00:05:20 | 00:05:24 | variable at a time so I do want to take |
00:05:22 | 00:05:27 | a second to explain that so in part one |
00:05:24 | 00:05:28 | and this was I forget what number it was |
00:05:27 | 00:05:30 | but one of the big lessons I learned is |
00:05:28 | 00:05:33 | you should focus on one variable at a |
00:05:30 | 00:05:35 | time and where you're going to live is |
00:05:33 | 00:05:36 | one of those variables so a way to think |
00:05:35 | 00:05:38 | about this and I'm gonna try to simplify |
00:05:36 | 00:05:44 | this is if you look at an equation like |
00:05:38 | 00:05:46 | X plus y plus Z equals 3 so each |
00:05:44 | 00:05:48 | variable the variable X could be any |
00:05:46 | 00:05:49 | number we don't know what it is that's |
00:05:48 | 00:05:52 | what makes a variable a variable and |
00:05:49 | 00:05:55 | that's a very simple equation so we can |
00:05:52 | 00:05:57 | figure out well X could be 1 Y could be |
00:05:55 | 00:06:00 | 1 and Z could be 1 and then that would |
00:05:57 | 00:06:04 | add up 1 plus 1 plus 1 equals 3 so 3 |
00:06:00 | 00:06:06 | equals 3 that's correct but if X was 2 Y |
00:06:04 | 00:06:08 | was 1 and Z was 1 then the equation |
00:06:06 | 00:06:10 | before equals 3 that doesn't make sense |
00:06:08 | 00:06:12 | so with a simple equation like that we |
00:06:10 | 00:06:13 | can just look at it and we can solve it |
00:06:12 | 00:06:19 | but with more complicated problems like |
00:06:13 | 00:06:24 | a problem like 3x plus 7 y plus 2 or yet |
00:06:19 | 00:06:25 | 2z equals 147 we look at that equation |
00:06:24 | 00:06:28 | we don't know we can just start randomly |
00:06:25 | 00:06:31 | throwing numbers and guesses into what x |
00:06:28 | 00:06:34 | plus y plus c is or what we can do is we |
00:06:31 | 00:06:38 | can hold we can say okay let's make X |
00:06:34 | 00:06:40 | equal 1 y equal 1 and then Z we can do |
00:06:38 | 00:06:40 | some simple algebra to figure out what Z |
00:06:40 | 00:06:42 | is |
00:06:40 | 00:06:45 | and that's what I'm toking about when |
00:06:42 | 00:06:47 | when when you say X equals one that's |
00:06:45 | 00:06:49 | the equivalent of saying I'm gonna live |
00:06:47 | 00:06:52 | in Santa Monica boom that variable is a |
00:06:49 | 00:06:54 | constant it solves four and then you can |
00:06:52 | 00:06:55 | start focusing on other things I realize |
00:06:54 | 00:06:57 | as I'm explaining this probably doesn't |
00:06:55 | 00:06:59 | help explain it too much more but |
00:06:57 | 00:07:02 | hopefully for someone out there that |
00:06:59 | 00:07:03 | that makes sense so for me growing roots |
00:07:02 | 00:07:05 | is really important because then you |
00:07:03 | 00:07:08 | start developing deep meaningful |
00:07:05 | 00:07:10 | friendships I'm starting just in those |
00:07:08 | 00:07:13 | last few months to have friends that I |
00:07:10 | 00:07:14 | actually see on a regular basis we get |
00:07:13 | 00:07:16 | lunch every week we get dinner every |
00:07:14 | 00:07:18 | week we're you know we catch up and you |
00:07:16 | 00:07:20 | know we know what's going on in each |
00:07:18 | 00:07:22 | other's live and we can help each other |
00:07:20 | 00:07:25 | out and that is very important now my |
00:07:22 | 00:07:26 | buddy Jordan who's been on a bunch of |
00:07:25 | 00:07:28 | the how to do your twenties podcast and |
00:07:26 | 00:07:30 | he's gonna be on these last how did |
00:07:28 | 00:07:33 | years 20 20 s podcast is totally |
00:07:30 | 00:07:35 | different he's totally the opposite in a |
00:07:33 | 00:07:37 | lot of ways he loves like he gains |
00:07:35 | 00:07:39 | energy from traveling from place to |
00:07:37 | 00:07:42 | place and moving around you know all the |
00:07:39 | 00:07:48 | time so lesson number 12 growing roots |
00:07:42 | 00:07:50 | is important lesson 13 for me routine is |
00:07:48 | 00:07:51 | huge and this is once again for me some |
00:07:50 | 00:07:54 | people don't feel this way some people |
00:07:51 | 00:07:56 | thrive off non routine once again this |
00:07:54 | 00:07:58 | goes back to limiting your variables by |
00:07:56 | 00:07:59 | having the same routine knowing that |
00:07:58 | 00:08:01 | you're gonna wake up at a certain time |
00:07:59 | 00:08:03 | knowing more or less of what you're |
00:08:01 | 00:08:05 | gonna eat knowing that Mondays |
00:08:03 | 00:08:07 | you're gonna go do jujitsu and then |
00:08:05 | 00:08:09 | Tuesdays it gives you things to look |
00:08:07 | 00:08:13 | forward to it frees up your mind once |
00:08:09 | 00:08:15 | again to focus on other other things for |
00:08:13 | 00:08:17 | me when I was traveling a lot it totally |
00:08:15 | 00:08:19 | my routine got thrown out the window and |
00:08:17 | 00:08:21 | it's for a lot of people they loved that |
00:08:19 | 00:08:24 | they loved that every morning you wake |
00:08:21 | 00:08:27 | up and you do something new and at times |
00:08:24 | 00:08:29 | I did really enjoy that but for the most |
00:08:27 | 00:08:31 | part for me as an individual I like I |
00:08:29 | 00:08:34 | like being able to look forward to |
00:08:31 | 00:08:36 | things I like knowing that oh every |
00:08:34 | 00:08:38 | Thursday I get dinner with my buddy |
00:08:36 | 00:08:41 | James and that's really cool I have |
00:08:38 | 00:08:43 | something to look forward to I know that |
00:08:41 | 00:08:46 | questions that I have throughout the |
00:08:43 | 00:08:47 | week once I go I can meet him and you |
00:08:46 | 00:08:50 | know it's just having something to look |
00:08:47 | 00:08:53 | forward to but there's also routine is |
00:08:50 | 00:08:54 | huge in the same way is knowing that |
00:08:53 | 00:08:55 | every Tuesday I'm gonna |
00:08:54 | 00:08:57 | work on performance not butter knowing |
00:08:55 | 00:09:00 | that every so often I'm doing the same |
00:08:57 | 00:09:03 | kind of things over and over again |
00:09:00 | 00:09:06 | because what that does is it allows me |
00:09:03 | 00:09:08 | to give myself time maybe like Saturday |
00:09:06 | 00:09:11 | afternoons so do anything and like be |
00:09:08 | 00:09:12 | totally free and have that time to just |
00:09:11 | 00:09:14 | really kind of enjoy and go with the |
00:09:12 | 00:09:16 | flow but everybody's different once |
00:09:14 | 00:09:18 | again so for me routine is really huge |
00:09:16 | 00:09:20 | and I fought that for a long time for a |
00:09:18 | 00:09:21 | long time I didn't |
00:09:20 | 00:09:23 | I forgot that when I was a kid I really |
00:09:21 | 00:09:25 | enjoyed routine and I wanted to be |
00:09:23 | 00:09:28 | someone that was more just spontaneous |
00:09:25 | 00:09:30 | and whatever truth is that's not me but |
00:09:28 | 00:09:32 | by having that routine it allows me to |
00:09:30 | 00:09:34 | be a little bit more spontaneous at |
00:09:32 | 00:09:38 | times but I enjoy that routine all right |
00:09:34 | 00:09:41 | lesson number fourteen time to plan and |
00:09:38 | 00:09:42 | think is very important to me this is |
00:09:41 | 00:09:45 | only the last year or two I've started |
00:09:42 | 00:09:47 | to realize this I think a lot of people |
00:09:45 | 00:09:50 | have this mindset especially in Western |
00:09:47 | 00:09:55 | society it that you need to always be |
00:09:50 | 00:09:56 | doing stuff that sitting around like you |
00:09:55 | 00:09:58 | know sitting at your computer and just |
00:09:56 | 00:10:01 | thinking about what you're going to do |
00:09:58 | 00:10:04 | planning out is a waste of time I think |
00:10:01 | 00:10:06 | that for a long time at least for myself |
00:10:04 | 00:10:09 | I had this mindset and I think that's |
00:10:06 | 00:10:12 | totally backwards if you look at the |
00:10:09 | 00:10:14 | most important people in a war you look |
00:10:12 | 00:10:17 | at the generals what do they do they |
00:10:14 | 00:10:19 | don't just run in and fight and do all |
00:10:17 | 00:10:20 | that stuff no they're sitting back and |
00:10:19 | 00:10:24 | all they're doing is thinking and |
00:10:20 | 00:10:25 | planning and strategizing so I think |
00:10:24 | 00:10:28 | what I've been trying to do more is |
00:10:25 | 00:10:31 | every Monday spend time doing that |
00:10:28 | 00:10:35 | really at a high level reviewing the |
00:10:31 | 00:10:38 | previous week and then also looking at |
00:10:35 | 00:10:40 | the coming week in thinking okay how how |
00:10:38 | 00:10:42 | can I make this the most impactful week |
00:10:40 | 00:10:43 | planning the next month planning the |
00:10:42 | 00:10:47 | next six months and I don't necessarily |
00:10:43 | 00:10:48 | do this all the time but every every few |
00:10:47 | 00:10:52 | weeks I like to sit down and plan out |
00:10:48 | 00:10:54 | six months in advance and what I'll |
00:10:52 | 00:10:56 | usually do is plan the next three months |
00:10:54 | 00:10:58 | pretty strong like pretty like day by |
00:10:56 | 00:11:00 | day more or less like what are the big |
00:10:58 | 00:11:03 | milestones that I want to hit and then |
00:11:00 | 00:11:06 | maybe the three months after that the |
00:11:03 | 00:11:07 | kind of a little bit more loosely and |
00:11:06 | 00:11:09 | that's been very |
00:11:07 | 00:11:12 | for me personally because that gives me |
00:11:09 | 00:11:14 | things to know that hey if I want to |
00:11:12 | 00:11:16 | launch a course like I'm gonna be |
00:11:14 | 00:11:18 | launching I don't know I might actually |
00:11:16 | 00:11:19 | switch the date on this but I was |
00:11:18 | 00:11:22 | planning on launching a course in April |
00:11:19 | 00:11:25 | I'm gonna be launching a course in April |
00:11:22 | 00:11:27 | well I need to complete the course so I |
00:11:25 | 00:11:28 | better start on it well you know I |
00:11:27 | 00:11:29 | started looking at my calendar I'm like |
00:11:28 | 00:11:31 | wow I better start on it in the next |
00:11:29 | 00:11:33 | week or two if I'm gonna be completing a |
00:11:31 | 00:11:35 | course by April and then I'll I can also |
00:11:33 | 00:11:38 | look at okay well if I'm gonna launch a |
00:11:35 | 00:11:39 | course in April I need to market it how |
00:11:38 | 00:11:41 | am I going to market well here's a bunch |
00:11:39 | 00:11:43 | of ideas Wow |
00:11:41 | 00:11:45 | there's all these ideas for videos that |
00:11:43 | 00:11:47 | I should release on the effective |
00:11:45 | 00:11:50 | e-commerce or the effective ecommerce |
00:11:47 | 00:11:54 | podcast or you know my youtube channel |
00:11:50 | 00:11:56 | and then I start thinking how am I gonna |
00:11:54 | 00:11:57 | fit all this in if I'm gonna release all |
00:11:56 | 00:12:00 | these videos I need to make sure I have |
00:11:57 | 00:12:01 | time to film them how am I gonna work on |
00:12:00 | 00:12:04 | performance nut butter at the same time |
00:12:01 | 00:12:05 | and basically you start all the dreams |
00:12:04 | 00:12:07 | that you have you start putting it into |
00:12:05 | 00:12:09 | reality do you have enough time and |
00:12:07 | 00:12:11 | maybe you realize I'm not gonna be able |
00:12:09 | 00:12:14 | to release the course in April I might |
00:12:11 | 00:12:15 | need until June to do it or maybe you |
00:12:14 | 00:12:17 | look at it and say why am I gonna wait |
00:12:15 | 00:12:19 | till April I can launch this in January |
00:12:17 | 00:12:22 | and once again everyone's different on |
00:12:19 | 00:12:26 | this but I think giving yourself the |
00:12:22 | 00:12:29 | ability I don't wanna say the excuse the |
00:12:26 | 00:12:31 | permission slip to sit around in |
00:12:29 | 00:12:33 | quote-unquote think is huge now this |
00:12:31 | 00:12:34 | isn't far as far as business goes but |
00:12:33 | 00:12:37 | one thing I've also been thinking a lot |
00:12:34 | 00:12:39 | about is this last year I spent a lot of |
00:12:37 | 00:12:41 | time just on the beach listening to |
00:12:39 | 00:12:44 | music listen to audiobooks chillin |
00:12:41 | 00:12:49 | relaxing and letting my mind just kind |
00:12:44 | 00:12:51 | of process process what's going on and |
00:12:49 | 00:12:55 | that also has been a really big deal it |
00:12:51 | 00:12:57 | helps it helps clear some of the clutter |
00:12:55 | 00:12:59 | from my mind and helps think well |
00:12:57 | 00:13:02 | personal life things am I happy |
00:12:59 | 00:13:04 | am i doing what I want to do if not how |
00:13:02 | 00:13:05 | could I become more happy what am I |
00:13:04 | 00:13:07 | missing in my life |
00:13:05 | 00:13:10 | anyways I realized that for me |
00:13:07 | 00:13:12 | personally giving myself time to plan |
00:13:10 | 00:13:14 | and think things through is very |
00:13:12 | 00:13:16 | important so this is your permission |
00:13:14 | 00:13:17 | slip to be able to do that too you don't |
00:13:16 | 00:13:21 | always need to be running around putting |
00:13:17 | 00:13:23 | out fires less than 15 take time off |
00:13:21 | 00:13:25 | now you hear this a lot from a bunch of |
00:13:23 | 00:13:26 | different people but I just wanted to |
00:13:25 | 00:13:29 | reiterate it because it took me a long |
00:13:26 | 00:13:31 | time to realize how important it is you |
00:13:29 | 00:13:33 | know you're supposed to enjoy life |
00:13:31 | 00:13:36 | taking time off to go do the things you |
00:13:33 | 00:13:39 | love is what makes life fun in a lot of |
00:13:36 | 00:13:40 | ways sure I enjoy what I do for work and |
00:13:39 | 00:13:42 | hopefully you do too because that's |
00:13:40 | 00:13:44 | that's another that should be another |
00:13:42 | 00:13:47 | big lesson learn but taking time off not |
00:13:44 | 00:13:50 | only it may help you enjoy your life |
00:13:47 | 00:13:51 | more it actually clears your mind I and |
00:13:50 | 00:13:53 | I notiked I've said over and over again |
00:13:51 | 00:13:54 | throughout these this part one part two |
00:13:53 | 00:13:57 | I'll probably say it again in part three |
00:13:54 | 00:13:59 | the taking week off just to do a |
00:13:57 | 00:14:00 | staycation and go down to the beach was |
00:13:59 | 00:14:03 | probably the most important thing I've |
00:14:00 | 00:14:05 | done this year it completely changed my |
00:14:03 | 00:14:07 | outlook on a lot of different things |
00:14:05 | 00:14:10 | that helped my brain just process some |
00:14:07 | 00:14:11 | things and that's that you're gonna hear |
00:14:10 | 00:14:13 | me say this a lot too think that's very |
00:14:11 | 00:14:14 | important I think your brain is trying |
00:14:13 | 00:14:16 | to figure out and solve these different |
00:14:14 | 00:14:19 | equations these you know happiness |
00:14:16 | 00:14:21 | equations we'll call it or just all |
00:14:19 | 00:14:23 | kinds of different things and if you |
00:14:21 | 00:14:26 | don't take time off you're never going |
00:14:23 | 00:14:27 | to fully get it I think that when you do |
00:14:26 | 00:14:29 | take time off and I hear this over and |
00:14:27 | 00:14:30 | over again from different friends of |
00:14:29 | 00:14:32 | mine when you take time off and you come |
00:14:30 | 00:14:32 | back to work you're gonna have more |
00:14:32 | 00:14:35 | energy |
00:14:32 | 00:14:39 | okay I'll probably in that one let's go |
00:14:35 | 00:14:42 | to number 16 number 16 fill your life |
00:14:39 | 00:14:45 | with a new awesome experiences so life |
00:14:42 | 00:14:47 | once again is kind of like solving an |
00:14:45 | 00:14:48 | equation you're figuring out how you're |
00:14:47 | 00:14:51 | gonna be the happiest what's gonna make |
00:14:48 | 00:14:52 | you really satisfied with life and by |
00:14:51 | 00:14:56 | trying new and different experiences |
00:14:52 | 00:14:58 | you're putting in new data points the |
00:14:56 | 00:14:59 | way computers learn and the way that we |
00:14:58 | 00:15:01 | learn is by having lots of different |
00:14:59 | 00:15:02 | computer points maybe you've never done |
00:15:01 | 00:15:04 | in jiu-jitsu class go do it and maybe |
00:15:02 | 00:15:06 | you realized oh I really like this maybe |
00:15:04 | 00:15:08 | you've never done you know whatever it |
00:15:06 | 00:15:11 | is you haven't you different restaurants |
00:15:08 | 00:15:13 | you haven't tried different experiences |
00:15:11 | 00:15:17 | of any kind fill your life with those |
00:15:13 | 00:15:18 | new awesome experiences now this kind of |
00:15:17 | 00:15:21 | goes hand-in-hand with giving yourself |
00:15:18 | 00:15:23 | time often time to think because if you |
00:15:21 | 00:15:25 | think of it as solving an equation |
00:15:23 | 00:15:26 | you're gonna put a lot of data points in |
00:15:25 | 00:15:29 | but then you need to figure out what |
00:15:26 | 00:15:31 | equation matches these data points so |
00:15:29 | 00:15:34 | maybe you realize oh I really do like |
00:15:31 | 00:15:38 | jiu-jitsu but I don't like Krav Maga |
00:15:34 | 00:15:41 | I really do like playing two-on-two |
00:15:38 | 00:15:43 | basketball but I don't like playing five |
00:15:41 | 00:15:45 | on five whatever whatever it is but by |
00:15:43 | 00:15:47 | trying out different things you're |
00:15:45 | 00:15:50 | figuring out what you like I like |
00:15:47 | 00:15:52 | playing basketball on Tuesday afternoons |
00:15:50 | 00:15:55 | as opposed to whatever but you do need |
00:15:52 | 00:15:58 | to balance that with giving yourself |
00:15:55 | 00:15:59 | time to figure out what you actually |
00:15:58 | 00:16:01 | likes if you're constantly just trying |
00:15:59 | 00:16:03 | new things and you never go back to the |
00:16:01 | 00:16:05 | things that you really liked that's for |
00:16:03 | 00:16:06 | me personally not very satisfying so |
00:16:05 | 00:16:08 | it's fill your life with new awesome |
00:16:06 | 00:16:11 | experiences but repeat the ones that you |
00:16:08 | 00:16:14 | enjoy and you know not don't repeat them |
00:16:11 | 00:16:16 | so much that you stop liking them but |
00:16:14 | 00:16:18 | definitely try out new interesting |
00:16:16 | 00:16:21 | things that you might not otherwise do |
00:16:18 | 00:16:23 | so lesson 17 and this is actually |
00:16:21 | 00:16:25 | something that really helps me out a lot |
00:16:23 | 00:16:27 | this is one of those phrases that if I |
00:16:25 | 00:16:30 | start to get really anxious or upset at |
00:16:27 | 00:16:32 | myself or depressed I think about this |
00:16:30 | 00:16:35 | phrase and it's you are a |
00:16:32 | 00:16:37 | self-correcting learning machine |
00:16:35 | 00:16:40 | remember that so let's let's repeat that |
00:16:37 | 00:16:42 | so you are a self-correcting learning |
00:16:40 | 00:16:43 | machine so what does that mean |
00:16:42 | 00:16:45 | that means that if you're starting to |
00:16:43 | 00:16:46 | feel anxious or you're starting to feel |
00:16:45 | 00:16:49 | like bad about yourself or like |
00:16:46 | 00:16:52 | disappointed in yourself realize that's |
00:16:49 | 00:16:55 | okay it's okay to feel bad but what I do |
00:16:52 | 00:16:57 | and I think a lot of people do is they |
00:16:55 | 00:16:59 | start thinking wow I'm a failure I'm |
00:16:57 | 00:17:00 | always gonna be a failure blah bubble |
00:16:59 | 00:17:03 | and they start spinning out of control |
00:17:00 | 00:17:05 | down a negative spiral thinking of all |
00:17:03 | 00:17:07 | or maybe you've made the same mistake |
00:17:05 | 00:17:08 | over and over again maybe you date |
00:17:07 | 00:17:11 | certain type of people I see this a lot |
00:17:08 | 00:17:14 | it's like I always date X kind of people |
00:17:11 | 00:17:15 | like whatever you know and you start to |
00:17:14 | 00:17:17 | beat yourself up about this but it's |
00:17:15 | 00:17:20 | that's okay or I always make the same |
00:17:17 | 00:17:21 | mistake in business once again if you |
00:17:20 | 00:17:22 | catch yourself and you're saying to |
00:17:21 | 00:17:25 | yourself I'm always doing the same thing |
00:17:22 | 00:17:28 | that's okay you're a learning machine |
00:17:25 | 00:17:32 | and if you're so if you're ever find |
00:17:28 | 00:17:33 | yourself going on a bad path that's okay |
00:17:32 | 00:17:37 | you are a self-correcting learning |
00:17:33 | 00:17:39 | machine so I don't smoke weed very often |
00:17:37 | 00:17:42 | and I don't really do it pretty much at |
00:17:39 | 00:17:45 | all anymore but in the past I have done |
00:17:42 | 00:17:47 | it and what would happen at times is I |
00:17:45 | 00:17:48 | would get anxious |
00:17:47 | 00:17:50 | and I still you know I still everyone |
00:17:48 | 00:17:52 | small in day-to-day life find myself |
00:17:50 | 00:17:54 | getting anxious and I started |
00:17:52 | 00:17:57 | specifically with the smoking weed thing |
00:17:54 | 00:17:59 | you start thinking wow you for me person |
00:17:57 | 00:18:01 | when I smoked weed I would find I'd see |
00:17:59 | 00:18:03 | certain patterns that otherwise I might |
00:18:01 | 00:18:04 | not see in my life certain patterns that |
00:18:03 | 00:18:06 | repeat themselves over and over again |
00:18:04 | 00:18:09 | and I'd start to spiral out of control |
00:18:06 | 00:18:11 | and get really anxious and feel like wow |
00:18:09 | 00:18:12 | I don't have any friends and I all you |
00:18:11 | 00:18:14 | know that's actually been I think one |
00:18:12 | 00:18:16 | thing for me is I always push away my |
00:18:14 | 00:18:18 | friends and blah blah blah you know |
00:18:16 | 00:18:20 | whatever it is and then I think about it |
00:18:18 | 00:18:22 | and I will kind of give myself this |
00:18:20 | 00:18:24 | mantra of you are a self-correcting |
00:18:22 | 00:18:26 | learning machine and what that allows me |
00:18:24 | 00:18:28 | to do is allows me to stop worrying |
00:18:26 | 00:18:30 | about all the past mistakes I've made |
00:18:28 | 00:18:33 | and realize that sure I might make that |
00:18:30 | 00:18:36 | mistake again or even a time after that |
00:18:33 | 00:18:38 | but eventually I will figure it out |
00:18:36 | 00:18:39 | from making money for me I mean it |
00:18:38 | 00:18:40 | wasn't until like the last year or so |
00:18:39 | 00:18:44 | that I really started to feel |
00:18:40 | 00:18:45 | financially successful and I would get |
00:18:44 | 00:18:47 | down on myself I'd be like man I've been |
00:18:45 | 00:18:49 | doing this entrepreneur thing for a few |
00:18:47 | 00:18:51 | years and I'm still not having the |
00:18:49 | 00:18:51 | success I want to have what's wrong with |
00:18:51 | 00:18:53 | me |
00:18:51 | 00:18:55 | like and I start going down this |
00:18:53 | 00:18:56 | negative spiral of thinking maybe I'm |
00:18:55 | 00:18:58 | never gonna be able to do this but then |
00:18:56 | 00:18:59 | I remembered the mantra of you are a |
00:18:58 | 00:19:01 | self-correcting learning machine and |
00:18:59 | 00:19:04 | think I'll figure this out I'm a smart |
00:19:01 | 00:19:05 | person and you out there listening if |
00:19:04 | 00:19:07 | you're smart enough to be able to |
00:19:05 | 00:19:08 | download a podcast and you're smart |
00:19:07 | 00:19:10 | enough to be listening to this you're |
00:19:08 | 00:19:11 | smart enough for this to apply to you as |
00:19:10 | 00:19:15 | well so you are a self-correcting |
00:19:11 | 00:19:17 | learning machine lesson 18 is work on |
00:19:15 | 00:19:19 | your brain and there's two main ways I |
00:19:17 | 00:19:21 | think that you can work on your brain |
00:19:19 | 00:19:24 | the first one and you'll hear this over |
00:19:21 | 00:19:27 | and over and over again is meditate to |
00:19:24 | 00:19:30 | me this is like the stretching of your |
00:19:27 | 00:19:32 | mind it's like you know you need to |
00:19:30 | 00:19:33 | workout but you also need to stretch and |
00:19:32 | 00:19:36 | relax you need that yin and the yang so |
00:19:33 | 00:19:38 | this is the Yin part of your mind it |
00:19:36 | 00:19:40 | allows your your mind to get relaxed and |
00:19:38 | 00:19:42 | calm but then the other part is learn |
00:19:40 | 00:19:43 | new things so challenge yourself I've |
00:19:42 | 00:19:45 | mentioned a few times in this podcast |
00:19:43 | 00:19:47 | jiu-jitsu learn a new skill maybe it's |
00:19:45 | 00:19:49 | marketing maybe it's learning a new |
00:19:47 | 00:19:52 | language whatever that means for you |
00:19:49 | 00:19:54 | whatever it is that excites you go learn |
00:19:52 | 00:19:57 | something new but then also using |
00:19:54 | 00:19:59 | meditation I feel like it's very similar |
00:19:57 | 00:20:02 | to |
00:19:59 | 00:20:04 | relaxing it's relaxing your mind I think |
00:20:02 | 00:20:07 | about my body one of the mistakes I made |
00:20:04 | 00:20:09 | working out earlier in life was I would |
00:20:07 | 00:20:11 | just destroy my body I've worked out |
00:20:09 | 00:20:13 | really really hard but never give myself |
00:20:11 | 00:20:13 | a break and never give myself time to |
00:20:13 | 00:20:15 | recover |
00:20:13 | 00:20:18 | I think meditation is the ultimate |
00:20:15 | 00:20:20 | recovery for your brain it's been shown |
00:20:18 | 00:20:22 | to reverse a lot of trauma they've shown |
00:20:20 | 00:20:24 | like in football players and stuff like |
00:20:22 | 00:20:27 | that it it does just amazing things |
00:20:24 | 00:20:29 | so I'd say work on your brain meditate |
00:20:27 | 00:20:31 | and learn new things I think every day |
00:20:29 | 00:20:34 | or at least every week you should be |
00:20:31 | 00:20:35 | trying to stress out your brain by |
00:20:34 | 00:20:37 | learning something that's complicated |
00:20:35 | 00:20:39 | and hard maybe it's learning a new |
00:20:37 | 00:20:40 | software or a new tool whatever that |
00:20:39 | 00:20:45 | means to you |
00:20:40 | 00:20:48 | number 19 waking up early and exercising |
00:20:45 | 00:20:50 | early is great I don't always do this |
00:20:48 | 00:20:52 | but I always I've been recently trying |
00:20:50 | 00:20:56 | very hard to wake up earlier I wake up |
00:20:52 | 00:20:57 | around 5:45 6 o'clock and six o'clock is |
00:20:56 | 00:20:59 | the time I probably would wake up my |
00:20:57 | 00:21:01 | girlfriend has been starting work at |
00:20:59 | 00:21:03 | 6:00 recently and she's working from |
00:21:01 | 00:21:06 | home so she wakes up like 5:50 just to |
00:21:03 | 00:21:07 | get ready for to start work but then the |
00:21:06 | 00:21:11 | other thing I've been doing is |
00:21:07 | 00:21:13 | exercising and I found myself personally |
00:21:11 | 00:21:16 | a little bit happier I definitely happy |
00:21:13 | 00:21:18 | or less anxious when I exercise but also |
00:21:16 | 00:21:20 | when I get my exercise out earlier in |
00:21:18 | 00:21:22 | the day I feel less pressure on myself I |
00:21:20 | 00:21:23 | feel like you know what no matter what I |
00:21:22 | 00:21:25 | already exercise today so even if |
00:21:23 | 00:21:28 | everything else doesn't go the way I |
00:21:25 | 00:21:30 | want there's not this there's this |
00:21:28 | 00:21:32 | feeling of accomplishment and I found |
00:21:30 | 00:21:34 | when I exercise in the evenings |
00:21:32 | 00:21:37 | personally there's this little bit of |
00:21:34 | 00:21:39 | feeling of oh I need to go do something |
00:21:37 | 00:21:40 | later like I have something to do so |
00:21:39 | 00:21:42 | it's nice for me if I get all my |
00:21:40 | 00:21:45 | obligations out of the way early in the |
00:21:42 | 00:21:48 | day now once again I don't do this all |
00:21:45 | 00:21:50 | the time and whatever works for you |
00:21:48 | 00:21:52 | works for you so you know test it out if |
00:21:50 | 00:21:54 | this is something that sounds appealing |
00:21:52 | 00:21:55 | to you try it out but if it doesn't then |
00:21:54 | 00:21:57 | you know don't do it I don't doesn't |
00:21:55 | 00:21:59 | matter a lot of times I'll do yoga in |
00:21:57 | 00:22:01 | the morning sometimes I've actually |
00:21:59 | 00:22:03 | recently been just waking up and just |
00:22:01 | 00:22:06 | moving around just stretching out just |
00:22:03 | 00:22:08 | I'll go in and I'll go in my room and |
00:22:06 | 00:22:09 | just kind of like put on some music and |
00:22:08 | 00:22:12 | just kind of move and just feel my body |
00:22:09 | 00:22:12 | and just like get loose a little bit and |
00:22:12 | 00:22:15 | it |
00:22:12 | 00:22:17 | sounds funny maybe but it's just nice |
00:22:15 | 00:22:20 | cuz it gets you in a different headspace |
00:22:17 | 00:22:22 | it allows you to get into your body |
00:22:20 | 00:22:25 | which I tend to be a lot more in my mind |
00:22:22 | 00:22:27 | and a lot less in my body so even that |
00:22:25 | 00:22:28 | limited amount of exercise it's not it's |
00:22:27 | 00:22:30 | not like I'm really breathing hard I'm |
00:22:28 | 00:22:31 | really pushing myself which sometimes I |
00:22:30 | 00:22:33 | do sometimes I do Krav Maga in the |
00:22:31 | 00:22:35 | morning which isn't the new thing I've |
00:22:33 | 00:22:39 | been trying I used to do jujitsu in the |
00:22:35 | 00:22:41 | morning and yeah so try that out the |
00:22:39 | 00:22:43 | good thing about waking I go back and |
00:22:41 | 00:22:45 | forth on this and I think it depends on |
00:22:43 | 00:22:47 | what stage you are in your life now my |
00:22:45 | 00:22:49 | old argument was wake up whenever you |
00:22:47 | 00:22:51 | want and then just stay up later and you |
00:22:49 | 00:22:53 | can work later for me personally I'm the |
00:22:51 | 00:22:56 | most productive in the morning I find |
00:22:53 | 00:22:59 | around around 2 o'clock I start dragging |
00:22:56 | 00:23:01 | I start dying and that seems to be true |
00:22:59 | 00:23:03 | even if I wake up later it's just like |
00:23:01 | 00:23:05 | after lunch and everything's kind of I |
00:23:03 | 00:23:06 | don't know when you wake up in the |
00:23:05 | 00:23:09 | morning for me personally that you're |
00:23:06 | 00:23:13 | waking up with the Sun and you just have |
00:23:09 | 00:23:14 | more energy for me personally and so |
00:23:13 | 00:23:16 | yeah try it out see if that's something |
00:23:14 | 00:23:17 | that works for you this is gonna be a |
00:23:16 | 00:23:20 | shorter episode so I guess I'm just |
00:23:17 | 00:23:22 | going rapid-fire to be honest right now |
00:23:20 | 00:23:24 | my brain is a little bit I got the light |
00:23:22 | 00:23:26 | shining in my eye so if you're watching |
00:23:24 | 00:23:28 | this on youtube you'll see the lighting |
00:23:26 | 00:23:29 | is a little weird it's nighttime if |
00:23:28 | 00:23:32 | you're listening gentleman podcast |
00:23:29 | 00:23:35 | obviously you do not see that lesson 20 |
00:23:32 | 00:23:36 | this is a huge one this is a really big |
00:23:35 | 00:23:40 | one I think this is one of the biggest |
00:23:36 | 00:23:42 | mistakes people make is every new year |
00:23:40 | 00:23:45 | ever people don't do this and I wish |
00:23:42 | 00:23:48 | they would so lesson 20s make small |
00:23:45 | 00:23:50 | small commitments so I think a lot of |
00:23:48 | 00:23:52 | people say I've never worked out before |
00:23:50 | 00:23:54 | I'm gonna start working out two hours a |
00:23:52 | 00:23:57 | day five days a week and then quickly |
00:23:54 | 00:24:00 | burn themselves out the example I always |
00:23:57 | 00:24:02 | give is if you've never flossed your |
00:24:00 | 00:24:04 | teeth on regularly and you make the goal |
00:24:02 | 00:24:06 | to floss your teeth every day you're |
00:24:04 | 00:24:08 | probably not gonna do it but if instead |
00:24:06 | 00:24:11 | you make the goal to floss one tooth |
00:24:08 | 00:24:12 | you'll probably do it and obviously you |
00:24:11 | 00:24:14 | can floss more than one tooth everything |
00:24:12 | 00:24:16 | else is a bonus the thing is in your |
00:24:14 | 00:24:19 | mind it just doesn't sound that hard to |
00:24:16 | 00:24:20 | do like and I've done this to trick |
00:24:19 | 00:24:21 | myself when I'm tired I'm like I don't |
00:24:20 | 00:24:24 | feel like flossing I want to say okay |
00:24:21 | 00:24:25 | I'll floss one tooth or I'm tired I |
00:24:24 | 00:24:26 | don't feel like going to the gym I'll |
00:24:25 | 00:24:28 | say |
00:24:26 | 00:24:31 | you know what I'll put my gym clothes on |
00:24:28 | 00:24:32 | and I'll walk over there but once I get |
00:24:31 | 00:24:35 | there if I don't feel like working out |
00:24:32 | 00:24:36 | I'll walk back home now 95% of the time |
00:24:35 | 00:24:37 | I end up by the time I get there I'm |
00:24:36 | 00:24:39 | like I'm already here let's do it |
00:24:37 | 00:24:40 | everyone listen while though I say you |
00:24:39 | 00:24:42 | know what I don't feel like doing this |
00:24:40 | 00:24:45 | I'm gonna go back home and that's okay |
00:24:42 | 00:24:47 | because my commitment wasn't to go work |
00:24:45 | 00:24:51 | out my commitment was to go to the gym |
00:24:47 | 00:24:53 | and this allows you to get over thinking |
00:24:51 | 00:24:55 | because if you start thinking like oh I |
00:24:53 | 00:24:58 | don't want to go to the gym that's so |
00:24:55 | 00:24:59 | much work and I'm not into it and it's |
00:24:58 | 00:25:01 | gonna take two hours if instead you say |
00:24:59 | 00:25:02 | my goal is just to walk over there that |
00:25:01 | 00:25:06 | only takes you know 10 minutes or |
00:25:02 | 00:25:09 | whatever it is for you and that it's |
00:25:06 | 00:25:11 | baby steps because that's a necessary |
00:25:09 | 00:25:13 | part of working out is actually going to |
00:25:11 | 00:25:15 | the gym and once you get over there it's |
00:25:13 | 00:25:16 | just another little baby step - it's |
00:25:15 | 00:25:18 | like okay I'm at the gym fine I'll pick |
00:25:16 | 00:25:20 | up one weight and I'll do one exercise |
00:25:18 | 00:25:21 | once you're done with that you're like I |
00:25:20 | 00:25:23 | feel a little bit better let's do one |
00:25:21 | 00:25:25 | more exercise before you know what |
00:25:23 | 00:25:28 | you're finished for me I've used this |
00:25:25 | 00:25:29 | with jujitsu and yoga sometimes with |
00:25:28 | 00:25:30 | yoga I'll wake up and early in the |
00:25:29 | 00:25:32 | mornings and I'll be like I don't feel |
00:25:30 | 00:25:33 | like going to yoga I'm just gonna go |
00:25:32 | 00:25:35 | there and I'm just gonna lay on my mat |
00:25:33 | 00:25:37 | my yoga teacher is really cool and I've |
00:25:35 | 00:25:38 | told her before like hey if I I've never |
00:25:37 | 00:25:40 | actually done this but I'm like look |
00:25:38 | 00:25:42 | there's gonna be a day where I come here |
00:25:40 | 00:25:45 | and I just stay in shavasana I'd like to |
00:25:42 | 00:25:47 | lay down a corpse pose thing the whole |
00:25:45 | 00:25:49 | time and what that does is by the time I |
00:25:47 | 00:25:51 | get there I'm like alright let's just |
00:25:49 | 00:25:53 | move around and in yoga class a lot of |
00:25:51 | 00:25:55 | times I'm up I might not be feeling it |
00:25:53 | 00:25:56 | and I'll just go into Child's Pose or |
00:25:55 | 00:25:58 | whatever it is same thing with jiu-jitsu |
00:25:56 | 00:26:00 | I've done that before where I go over |
00:25:58 | 00:26:01 | there and if I'm really not feeling it |
00:26:00 | 00:26:04 | I'll just there was a gym at my |
00:26:01 | 00:26:05 | jiu-jitsu studio so I would just I would |
00:26:04 | 00:26:07 | just work out in the gym well everyone |
00:26:05 | 00:26:09 | else did jujitsu and I don't care if |
00:26:07 | 00:26:12 | they're like hey what are you doing and |
00:26:09 | 00:26:15 | I'd say a tangent of this is if you |
00:26:12 | 00:26:17 | really really dread doing something stop |
00:26:15 | 00:26:19 | doing it I actually recently quit my |
00:26:17 | 00:26:22 | jujitsu membership because I stopped |
00:26:19 | 00:26:23 | enjoying it I kind of started dreading |
00:26:22 | 00:26:26 | it and part of it was there were certain |
00:26:23 | 00:26:28 | people in in the class I just didn't |
00:26:26 | 00:26:30 | enjoy being around it wasn't it's not |
00:26:28 | 00:26:32 | making it fun part of it was a bunch of |
00:26:30 | 00:26:34 | other reasons I won't get to but it was |
00:26:32 | 00:26:35 | just I stopped having fun and it finally |
00:26:34 | 00:26:37 | clicked for me and I'm like well if I'm |
00:26:35 | 00:26:39 | not enjoying this why am I paying 200 |
00:26:37 | 00:26:40 | something bucks a month to do something |
00:26:39 | 00:26:42 | I do |
00:26:40 | 00:26:44 | enjoy and I and I quit now that being |
00:26:42 | 00:26:47 | said I do miss jiu-jitsu now and I want |
00:26:44 | 00:26:48 | to get back into it but you know you |
00:26:47 | 00:26:50 | don't have to do something but these |
00:26:48 | 00:26:53 | small commitments there are things in |
00:26:50 | 00:26:54 | our lives where you kind of dread it at |
00:26:53 | 00:26:55 | first but you know it's good for you and |
00:26:54 | 00:26:59 | you know eventually you'll start |
00:26:55 | 00:27:01 | enjoying it so for those make small |
00:26:59 | 00:27:03 | commitments because I never do like it's |
00:27:01 | 00:27:04 | not that big of a deal for me to go to |
00:27:03 | 00:27:05 | my yoga studio |
00:27:04 | 00:27:08 | there's mornings where I wake up and I'm |
00:27:05 | 00:27:10 | absolutely I do not want to do yoga but |
00:27:08 | 00:27:12 | I don't want to stay in the house I want |
00:27:10 | 00:27:15 | to get out side a little bit and just be |
00:27:12 | 00:27:16 | around you know other people so that's a |
00:27:15 | 00:27:20 | good way to make that small commitment |
00:27:16 | 00:27:22 | so that was 20 lessons so far so I want |
00:27:20 | 00:27:23 | to quickly go over them again I'm hoping |
