#09 little habits

Imagine as a child, you crawled, you learned to walk and then run, why do we stop there?

They let me see, share vision and more. Too often we fail to reach our destination because we fail to plan the route properly. It may sound stupid but it’s true in other aspects of our lives as well. Our habits are more pernicious than we know. Just like our habits form our thoughts and actions our habits we can forget them and live on cruise control for years, by doing things the way we’ve always done them. Going to work at the same place, going to get groceries, banking and cut at the barber shop all as routine as can be. Countless lives have gone by living in the habit, of life.

Start at 0. Your habits and routines are more ingrained than you are conscious of, the first step is not one it’s zero. You have to understand your habits and see if they’re serving you or not. When you understand your habits and routines you can begin to make amendments, one step at a time to alter your life course.
Tweak, don’t change. Too much, too soon, like too much rain can cause unintended landslides but in your life. The more ingrained a habit, the greater the number of tweaks required for a course correction.
Accomplish. Guess what, I set a goal today, a little one to drink a cup of water and it is done, while this feat isn’t usually a part of my day, I’ve done it. Add these tweaks to your list of accomplishments and watch it grow.

I know that you can put one foot in front of another and walk, now walk faster.

#05 three steps to fitness

Welcome back to work. That is if you’re a productive human and have a job. From all the farmers out there who were up far before my lazy ass or the lawyers who were tearing it up all weekend.

I’m pretty much an expert in fitness and I’ve seen such a massive decline in people’s fitness it’s sick, not a good sick. So read these and follow.

Movement is what will keep you alive.
You’re not doing enough movement at regular intervals through the day, even the most fit people on earth train their temples for four hours a day. And the percent of that will vary. Guess what you don’t and you need to move more.
Move at every opportunity. You’re an office worker which means you’re not moving heavy shit for your job, you’re sitting there, reading this, maybe envious of the people lifting heavy shit or walking around. Move when you can pushup, situp, walk.. If people have something to say about it, reconsider where you work.

#04 the millennial 3-step recipe for success

I am grateful for my experience.

There are certain things that as millennials we have that generations of the past have not had, much of that is simply due to the head down work hard nature of the past. Now with our heads up we can see that our work or what we spend our money on has an impact around the world. Fortunately there is a world at your fingers.

Focus on what you can change. The world is a big place and your effect will not be on all planes. If you’re focused on one thing make sure it is worthwhile to you, then you will not need to look up and see what everyone else is doing you will have your path.
Fuck the no. Whenever you start being exceptional and build yourself so large you start making others uncomfortable, stop, if you want to fit in, otherwise Fuck the no.
Forget about it. You’re not the same person you were yesterday and if you are then you should reconsider your path, you won’t remember yesterday in a month or a year and that means nobody else will either, drive on and level up.

#01 A Drive

I’m grateful for my job.

I’ve started reviewing the publications that I have collected that are relevant to my job and my future, I am sure that is not entirely interesting and all together relevant. But here we are. I was listening to the muscle intelligence podcast on my 12 hour drive for a chunk of time and really enjoyed Bens perspective on things that we have direct control over, essentially what we do is entirely controlled by us and there are only so many planes of effort that we can work on on ourselves, what we eat, what we consume, who we talk to, our breathing, how we exercise and how we sleep, that is how I think that I thought about going for a run today but didn’t because I spent the last two weeks working out pretty intensley and although a long walk or run would be great for my system im sure im just out of GAF right now.
