so I've fallen off my routine again and honestly it sucks I'm quite sure you know that feeling when you being super consistent staying on track hitting all the Milestones that you have and then suddenly something happens and boom you're back to where you started maybe even worse I'm literally there right now and I did what most people tell you to do when that happens I listen to the common advice of take it slow life is a marathon just make small changes every single day blah blah blah kind of mindset but honestly that made even things
worse for me instead of making slow and steady progress I felt like I was kind of stuck in a position where I just can't get out and here's why I don't think I'm wired for that slow and steady kind of stuff instead I realize I need quick growth especially in the beginning to stay motivated I need to get a quick win and the whole like life is a marathon mindset doesn't really work for me maybe it's because of my ADHD or because I have this All or Nothing attitude but if I don't see a result
fast I lose interest I need to kind of like focus on Sprints where I go hard get results and then switch to periods of Maintenance or rest and that's how I seen real growth before even when it comes to growing my YouTube channel or getting in shape I always did Sprints and then rests and that's how I'm going to do it again so literally I'm just going that Bel that slow and steady wins the race and instead I'm going all in starting right now and here's my plan I'm going to go hard for the next
six months document everything and show you exactly how I'm changing my life and I know this method works because I've done it before multiple times like when I started growing my YouTube channel everyone said start slowly learn things and then experiment things blah blah blah just post one video every 2 weeks something like that but I didn't listen Okay I was posting two to three times per week and I was learning as I go along and I went all into YouTube YouTube became my whole Focus during that period of time and we went from 0
to 100K subscribers rers in just 3 months but now a quick disclaimer this approach isn't for everyone okay especially if your mental health isn't in a good place don't push yourself too hard because I personally have experience of getting diagnosed with major depression and during those times the last thing that you want to do is pushing yourself even harder you need to rest and recover okay first let's get that clear but if your mental health is stable right now and if you're ready to make a change and you've got the energy to go all in
this is how I'm doing it and how you can do it too all right let's get the one thing straight if you don't know why you want to change in first place Nothing Else Matters you're going to quit the second things get hard because think about it how many times have you set a goal you know started strong and then dropped it a few weeks later like I've done it so many times I know it and I've realized that the reason why most people fail is because we focus on what we want to change like
getting in shape making more money being more consistent at whatever you fancy but we never stop to ask ourselves why that goal is important to us if we don't have a clear burning reason to change we're going to fall off here's an important lesson I learned change only happens when the pain of staying the same is worse than the pain of changing if staying stuck feels more comfortable to you than putting an effort to change you never will change but when that Comfort becomes unbearable that's when you take an action for me realizing this was
huge okay because I've been telling myself for months that I'm going to be consistent with working out and posting online like social media but I kept falling off and the reason is because I wasn't being clear enough with myself why I want to change I was too focused on what like I want to get in shape I want to be consistent on social media I want to make money etc etc but I wasn't connecting it to a deeper why my why is because I don't want to feel lazy undisciplined or I don't want to be
someone else that doesn't keep the promises that make themselves I want to feel confident from you know the confidence coming from being disciplined and I want to have the satisfaction knowing that I'm giving my all and all the freedom comes with having a sense of control of every action that I do and this is exactly what I also want you to do sit down and really think about what pain you're running away from and what desire you're chasing like what's your why write it down and put it somewhere you will see it every day because
when the process of change change starts to feel hard trust me it will you're going to need that reminder of why you are wanting to change and why you're doing this this is what going to keep us going when our motivation Fades and if you want to take action right away I got like a free worksheet link below you can use it to write down why you want this change so that you will have a clear understanding another lifechanging lesson that I learned is you can't improve what you don't measure like if you want to
make any serious change in our lives whether it's Health finances or our personal development then Trucking is going to be non-negotiable because if we're not measuring our progress we're just guessing and guessing is not going to get us anywhere because I know this firsthand okay every time like I lost momentum it's whenever I stopped tracking I stopped holding myself accountable for a very long time I was really top on my nutrition like I was tracking every single thing that I eat and I was hitting my macros quite consistently but then I got a little comfortable
I sort of like stopped tracking what I eat and I was telling myself I got this I know what I'm doing but I didn't day by day my diet kind of slipped but I wasn't measuring anything so I didn't even notice that change and I told myself that I was still eating healthy but I was just really slipping into my old bad habits again and the more I ignored it the more progress I lost and this whole tracking thing isn't just like about you know keeping score and seeing everything and being obsessed with numbers or
anything it's about basically being honest with yourself because when you track you can't lie to yourself okay you can see whether you've done the thing or not and that's why it's so important for us that's why I included a section in the free worksheet that I have in description below a tracking where you can you know take the check boxes for your habits whether it's your workout sleep nutrition or personal growth whatever matters to you you need to keep track of it so if you're serious about changing your life there are four non-negotiable actions you
need to commit to and I want you to track these four activities every single day because these four activities are not maybe or when you feel like it kind of things but these are non-negotiables get you out of the rut and drive real progress and if you're not doing them don't be surprised if nothing changes because in the past I've tried kind of like doing other things you know taking shortcuts skipping some of them but trust me these four are the foundation and without them nothing really sticks first we have the quality input you need
to be learning from reliable sources every day whether it's books podcasts or online courses there's so many good information available out there but we need to be intentional about it because not every content is created equal some of it it's garbage for sure but there is gold if we know where to look and I want to talk about books for a second because books are probably one of the best price to Value resource you will ever find like people pour Decades of their life experiences into a book and you can get it like for $10
to $20 which is crazy e value if you think I can't affordable books you have two options first either learn a high income skill so you can afford them or two just get a library card there's no excuse so every day you need to be feeding your brain with quality input it's what Bridges the gap between where you are now and where you want to be because if we're not learning we're not growing and I definitely noticed this in myself like whenever I felt stuck or uninspired I you know didn't know what I want to
say it's usually because I've been filling my brain with irrelevant lowquality content like scrolling through Tik Tok YouTube shorts and Instagram reels and feeding my brain with those irrelevant information in quick dopamine hits usually when I do this like they clut my mind and I often times feel overwhelmed and unmotivated and completely disconnected from any sense of clarity or Vision that I have but when I'm feeding my brain with quality input like reading books listening to podcasts taking online courses from people I admire literally everything changes and the clarity comes back and I can feel
focused and I get my vision backed and I know what direction I'm going in and that's what quality input does it gives you the tools and the ideas to move forward so if you're currently feeling lost the first thing you need to fix is what you're consuming because we are what we consume now here's a part that most of us get wrong we all love learning right we spend hours and hours reading books watching YouTube videos maybe taking online courses but Learning Without applying is literally useless and I'm not going to lie I've done this
in the past so many times like there were many times when I would just consume non-stop I would read book after book watch countless videos and I would think to myself oh my God I'm learning so much I'm making a real progress but here's the reality I wasn't doing anything with that information and if you're just learning for the sake of learning without actually using it or sharing it then what's the point you're just wasting time right we're not gaining real value until we put that knowledge into action and I get this question a lot
like reallyy I don't know how to use that information or how to share that information but it's not that hard as you think okay I'm a YouTuber so I always say like create YouTube videos but I'm biased and you don't need to start a YouTube channel or build a website overnight it can be simple as tweeting something valuable every single day just like one tweet per day one idea that you learn in your own words sharing it with the world it's how you start turning information into action and I'm going to hold myself accountable there
and promising you're right now that I'll be tweeting something valuable every single day it's quite simple but it's really important because when we share what we learn we're not just repeating what we learned but when we turn it into our own words we process it in our brain and that's where true Learning Happens actually you don't need to overthink this okay it's not about creating the biggest Twitter account or becoming a Twitter guy or girl whatever but it's about being consistent on using the information that you learned because the more you output the more you
grow so let's start small it can be Twitter it can be Instagram or it can be a short blog post whatever works for you but in my opinion Twitter has the lowest barrier of Entry now let's talk about the one thing that everyone loves to ignore and that is recovery and I get it okay we live in a hustle culture where we are told to grind like 24/7 push harder keep going but you know if you're not prioritizing recovery you're just going to burn out and everything else will suffer so it's not productive at all
to not recover and I used to think like if I can push harder a little bit then I can ignore my recovery but recovery isn't a luxury it's a necessity and especially if you start to learn a lot it will need the time to process all the information we learned and it needs rest to reset so to track my recovery I personally use whoop oops I'm TR to it and I'm not sponsor it I just love it I love it so much that I also gift it to my mom and I'm also going to gift
it to my brother because whoop is really nice at giving you a recovery data sleep and exercise data and it also explains really well why that happened for example I love drinking alcohol okay whether it's like drinking socially or whether it's like drinking alone I love the taste of it I love alcohol but once I started whoop every single day you Journal your actions and the days I drink even just like a glass of alcohol the next day my recovery was really bad so after seeing that every single time and whoos also tells you which
activities kind of like affect your recovery overall and as you can see alcohol affects my recovery quite bad so after seeing that I decided to limit really my alcohol intake because I used to drink like five to six times per week especially with my friends but now I'm limiting that to one maximum twice per week whoop is really good because you can see the direct impact it has on your performance and over recovery like we know alcohol is not good I mean I knew it but I still didn't make a change and I tried other
tools like Apple watch and over rank but for me whoop is the most accurate way of seeing data and it also helps you really understand that just sleeping more is not enough but how you can get a better sleep by the data that you get from Boop basically because we all know that we shouldn't be looking into screen before we go to bed or we shouldn't drink alcohol but when we don't see the actual data from our recovery like from our personal recovery I think we don't make a change so when you see that difference
clearly every single day with woo then that's when you make a real change in my opinion and I'm not sponsored I just love it okay and whether you use whoop or other like fitness trackers whatever that is just pay closer attention to your habits and make recovery a priority and finally the last non-negotiable thing is going to be your Keystone habit this is the Habit that basically ties everything together and in my opinion for 99% of people it's going to be working out because like from my personal experience when I'm working out consistently everything in
my life literally falls into place it's kind of like a domino effect and my energy is higher my discipline improves and my mental Clarity is also sharpens it's not just about getting like stronger or looking better being more fit but it's about proving yourself that you can keep the promises you make to yourself and every single time I hit the gym I kind of like reinforce the idea that I can show up for myself even when I don't feel like it because 99% of the time I don't feel like it and whenever I stop working
out I really feel it like immediately my energy drops I kind of like feel lazy in anything in my life and my recovery also drops in my sleep performance also drops too the benefits of working out is not just physical but it's also mental and honestly I'm actually working out consistently to get those mental benefits like it's the Habit that pushes all the others forward and most of us are not moving enough like we spend our day sitting scrolling and being inactive like most of us are sedentary but our bodies are made to move so
if you're not already working out consistently you need to work out consistently okay you don't need the perfect program or a perfect gym just to start you can be walking lifting weights do body weight exercises yoga golf Whatever Gets you moving my Keystone AB is is working out and that is the backbone of everything when I'm consistent with working out I'm confident disciplined and more focused literally that spills everything else I do so if you're just going to commit one habit that is going to be your Keystone habit pick working out none of this means
anything if you don't act on it right the only thing standing B where you are now and where you want to be in 6 months is what you do today so I basically created a free pdf worksheet below where you can track your progress write down your goals write down why you're doing this and also hold yourself accountable and it's really free okay I'm not going to spam you or anything and especially if you're not tracking it you're not improving it but here's the thing this is kind of like my idea where all the videos
that I watched on YouTube are like telling how you can change but they never keep you accountable so I thought what if I shared my journey of changing every single week to keep you all accountable and also to keep myself accountable so I decided to send an email every single week on Friday giving updates on what I'm learning what I'm doing you know how I'm moving forward and what are the things that I learned every single day on Friday like for free on your email and if there is not frequest I might actually create a
vlog Series where I document the journey in form of video and I thought about like naming it getting my life to together our series but it's not really unique and it's not really creative so if you have any other name suggestions let me know I know it's kind of crazy but 2024 is literally about to end and how we finish this year is going to set the tone for the next year and I really don't want to roll into 2025 with same old habits same excuses and same mindset so we're starting now and if you're
also ready to change stop this video write down your reason and join me I'm ready are you
