00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,640
The question is this, how do young men like us, who didn't listen to society, who are
2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:11,200
on our own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow?
3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:17,440
That is the question and this show will give you the answers.
4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:28,560
My name is James Radzinski and this is the Ascend Momentum Show.
5
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,360
Welcome back everybody.
6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,760
So today was a good day.
7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:45,160
I'm on day four of Russell Bronson's first funnel challenge and that day was good, first
8
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:54,040
challenge, but I will say that it was the worst day so far because there was only one
9
00:00:54,040 --> 00:01:03,520
speaker and he spent the majority of the time making his offer and trying to sell his $2,000
10
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:09,440
offer, which is a very good offer and it's a very good thing to study how he was offering
11
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:16,000
it because he was using the perfect webinar script to actually sell it.
12
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:25,360
And what I've learned is that I just need to study, study, study all of my books from
13
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:37,680
him and from there just keep acting and keep pushing through my comfort because there's
14
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,720
a lot of things that I'm going to have to do that are going to be uncomfortable but
15
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,840
it's what I need to do to be able to get success.
16
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:54,920
But one thing that I came to the realization today was that when I was reading, let me
17
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,080
just tell you a quick story first.
18
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:08,640
When I was reading the 4 hour work week by Timothy Ferris, I learned of this thing where
19
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:14,320
you do figure out the one thing that you need to do to move forward.
20
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,040
The most important thing to where if that was the only thing you did that day, it would
21
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,360
be a productive day and just do that.
22
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,360
Only do that.
23
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,360
Don't get distracted.
24
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,360
Don't do any emails and stuff.
25
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,520
And that's good.
26
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,040
So I was implementing that.
27
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:36,800
That's what I would say to my friend, hey, what's your task for today?
28
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,080
And he would say the same to me.
29
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,960
And then we would do that task that day.
30
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:48,520
But I realized that I am getting distracted by emails and I'm forming bad habits.
31
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,160
So I need to put a nip to that.
32
00:02:51,160 --> 00:03:01,400
But also by the time I did get down to business, I was uncomfortable and quickly went to another
33
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,440
photo tab like email or read a book or something like that.
34
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,600
And it was just an unproductive time.
35
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:17,160
So I have to do what the speaker on day four said.
36
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,600
I forgot her name.
37
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,840
I feel bad, but I forgot her name.
38
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,280
But she just said, just do it.
39
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:37,240
And she gave a whole speech about how the enemy to entrepreneurs is not the mindset.
40
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,400
It's or I don't even remember.
41
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:50,920
I'm probably butchering this, but it was something along the lines of the enemy to your achieving
42
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,560
your goals or getting progress is not your mindset.
43
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:03,280
But it's your inaction or it's how long you take to do something.
44
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,360
I don't know.
45
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:11,560
It's pretty much however you respond to an act.
46
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,560
I don't know.
47
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Here, let me start over.
48
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:23,640
When you have figure out your mission critical task and you don't do it, that is the enemy
49
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,800
to entrepreneurship, not mindset, not nothing.
50
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,160
You need to figure out your task and then sit down and just do it.
51
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,400
That's what she said.
52
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Just do it.
53
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,400
You need to just do it.
54
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,800
And that's there's one billionaire that she talked about that no one really knows of.
55
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,760
And here, let me pull it up in my notes.
56
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:58,440
There's a billionaire that she talked about that no one really knows of that said that
57
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:07,280
issued all of that gave credit to all of his wealth and success to one phrase.
58
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:13,880
And that phrase is I'm on the page.
59
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,980
One second.
60
00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:17,140
Do it now.
61
00:05:17,140 --> 00:05:22,760
And he would repeat do it now, do it now, do it now every single day over a hundred
62
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,760
times to himself.
63
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:31,240
He would actually make all of his employees repeat do it now to themselves a hundred
64
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,240
times.
65
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,680
And oh, here it is.
66
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,760
The number one enemy of wealth is not mindset.
67
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,160
It's delay.
68
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,680
And that's that just comes in your thoughts.
69
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,680
You have to beat it by using words.
70
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,880
You have to beat your thoughts by using words and that's do it now.
71
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,720
You just have to repeat do it now.
72
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,640
So you know what?
73
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,160
Here's an actionable step right now.
74
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,160
Get out a piece of paper.
75
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,080
I'm going to tear out a piece of paper out of my notebook.
76
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,200
There you go.
77
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,680
You probably heard that rip.
78
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:18,960
And write down the following in really big letters to take up the entire page.
79
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,560
Do it now.
80
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,360
Exclamation point.
81
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,080
Now leave that piece of paper on your desk upright so you can see it.
82
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:39,600
And also I already did this, but another actionable step is take out a piece of paper and write
83
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,760
down on the top on the header.
84
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,560
What is my task today?
85
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:51,600
And then under it say one with a period next to it and then a colon or whatever you want
86
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,160
just to show that this is an example and you don't write on it just to get your mind thinking
87
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,840
about what your task is.
88
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:04,280
And then under that say now say exactly what I say.
89
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:09,400
Say write down now comma just do it.
90
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,520
And those are the two pieces of paper that I'm going to keep on my desk for now.
91
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,400
I'm actually going to put the just do it right under my monitor on the monitor stand so I
92
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,640
can see that.
93
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,560
And then what is my task today?
94
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,800
Just near my notebook.
95
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:31,480
And what that will do is just keep training my brain to every time I see it I'll be conscious
96
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,480
of it.
97
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,680
So this will only work if you're conscious of it.
98
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:40,720
So I want you every time you see it and notice it repeat yourself just do it and that will
99
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,440
be a reminder and you have 99 more times to go to say that.
100
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:51,200
So right now I've probably said it 20 times today and it's 3pm that's not enough.
101
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,200
Tomorrow I'm going to say it 100 times.
102
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,720
Today I'm going to say it 100 times.
103
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,520
Just do it, just do it, just do it.
104
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,760
There's three more.
105
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,120
So every time I see it but you have to you can't just go through the motions.
106
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,640
You have to consciously say it or else it won't work.
107
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,480
You won't get any benefit out of it.
108
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,440
And you have to feel it.
109
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:16,600
And then this will work especially well if you remember to say it and act on it when
110
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,080
it's time to just do it.
111
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:30,600
So today I don't know if you guys heard my story about how I first got into podcasting.
112
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:36,120
Just because I read Russell Brunson's book, Expert Secrets and in there he said if you
113
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:42,400
post your show every day for the next year you will never have to worry about money again.
114
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:48,320
And so I was just like okay I'll try it and at first I just recorded my episodes on voice
115
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,000
memos and never posted them on my phone.
116
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,640
Just because I was so nervous and this was just like three weeks ago I talked about this
117
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,480
in my last episode too but this was just like three weeks ago.
118
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:12,120
It was a really short period of time ago and I posted 14, er not posted, I recorded 14
119
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:20,960
episodes before I actually built up the balls and the confidence to actually post my show
120
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,960
for real online.
121
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,960
And when I did post it online it sucked.
122
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:32,200
Because you guys can see going back to the trailer even like 7 or 8 episodes ago the
123
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,840
trailer sucked.
124
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:39,240
But now I'm getting way, way better and the times are getting longer and longer.
125
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:45,160
When I was practicing for 14 episodes on my voice memos I would only record for less than
126
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,160
8 minutes.
127
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,200
Most times it was like 5 minutes because I just could not think anything to say.
128
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,720
I couldn't come up with anything to say and a lot of times I was just sitting there in
129
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,880
awkward silence.
130
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,960
But why do I say this?
131
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:08,080
I say this because today I recorded my first three tiktoks and I just put them, er actually
132
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,680
yesterday I recorded one, today I recorded four.
133
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:18,160
The two that I recorded yesterday and the first one I recorded today were just ads and
134
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,760
I published them privately and I realized that I don't think I want to be uploading that
135
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,920
kind of tiktok because I don't think that's how you succeed in that.
136
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,360
You have to provide value to be able to get customers or viewers and then those viewers
137
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,640
turn into loyal viewers and then they get curious, go to your page, go to your link
138
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:45,560
tree and then go from there.
139
00:10:45,560 --> 00:11:03,000
I kind of just blanked.
140
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:10,680
I was talking about the, they go to my, oh yeah, so I'm saying this because I posted two
141
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:19,760
videos privately and then three videos I actually am going to post, maybe.
142
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:28,600
I recorded them back to back, they're three, like one minute long tiktoks and each of them
143
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:36,000
just goes through one step of my framework and tomorrow I plan on posting the other three
144
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:43,880
and recording the other three, just the six step framework to start improving yourself.
145
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:50,360
If you don't have that book, actually go to selfimprovementguidebook.com to learn more
146
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:59,640
and then just click, like, or you can, if you just want to go straight to it, selfimprovementguidebook.com
147
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:06,360
slash get-now.
148
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:13,840
I just went, I funnel hacked Russell Brunson's tiktoks and wrote down a framework of what
149
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,160
I think he's using in his tiktoks and then recorded the first three episodes and I plan
150
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:25,320
on posting three episodes a day, three tiktoks a day, just like what I did, what I'm doing
151
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,840
with podcasting and I'll continue to post a podcast a day every day, so I'll post one
152
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:39,440
podcast every day and three tiktoks every day and those three tiktoks will be the,
153
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:47,720
I really predict that if I can get one to go big and just practice my skills at posting
154
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:53,800
then by the time I actually run paid ads I'll be so much better off and I'm not actually
155
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,280
going to be running paid ads until I'm 18 because you're not allowed to create a tiktok
156
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,200
business account until you're 18.
157
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:11,800
But yeah, so pretty much why I'm saying all of this to wrap everything up is I didn't
158
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:18,040
start any podcasting or tiktoks publicly.
159
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,600
I just practice privately on my own consistently every day.
160
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:30,080
I recorded 14 days, 14 episodes of a podcast that no one has seen yet.
161
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,480
I only shared one podcast with my friend and I don't even think he opened it, which I don't
162
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,560
blame him because I probably wouldn't open it either.
163
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:44,240
But I say this because you don't need to post your stuff if you're uncomfortable.
164
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:51,200
You can do it yourself and then also I'm linking this back to a lesson that I learned today
165
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,280
is we don't have an issue with problems.
166
00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:00,440
Our problem isn't the problem, it's our relationship with the problems.
167
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,320
So if you have problems, okay, you have problems, but the fact that we're letting the problems
168
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,880
stop us is the issue.
169
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,320
That's our relationship with them.
170
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,800
When we come up with a problem, when we go to my notes, but when we come up with a problem
171
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:22,960
we need to create a plan on how to deal with the problem.
172
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,280
So that was me.
173
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,680
I was too nervous.
174
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:36,440
My problem was I was too nervous to go to or to post my first podcast publicly because
175
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,440
I sucked.
176
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:45,720
So my plan was to post podcasts temporarily for the time being and I had to stay conscious
177
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:51,240
that I was actually going to post publicly eventually and then I just set the time to
178
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,240
14 days.
179
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,400
It's the time limit of 14 days and then I'll post no matter what.
180
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,240
And that was my plan and then now I'm going to get success because I'm way more comfortable
181
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,760
now doing podcasts.
182
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,320
So and this also happened with my sister.
183
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,760
She was too scared to go to the gym and lift weights.
184
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,560
So because she was afraid that she'd see someone that she knows.
185
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,720
So she drove, she still does this, I think.
186
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:26,080
She drives an extra like 20 minutes to the further gym away, the gym just out of town
187
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,880
and she works out there.
188
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,000
So she doesn't have to worry about other people.
189
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,320
And once she builds up confidence, she will probably go to the local gym.
190
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,720
So we need, I just learned about this concept today.
191
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,240
We need to fix our relationship with problems.
192
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,120
And so this is a very valuable lesson for you guys to learn.
193
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,120
We need to fix our relationship with our problems.
194
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,160
So I want you to write that down right now.
195
00:15:53,160 --> 00:16:03,160
Fix my relationship with my problems.
196
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:09,480
And so to do that, you just have to realize that you have a problem and then come up with
197
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,560
a plan on how to deal with it.
198
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,840
So right now my problem is I'm scared to post TikToks.
199
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:25,440
So I am going to record three TikToks a day, every single day and post them to my drafts
200
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,040
folder.
201
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,560
And then once I become confident enough or once a time limit reaches, for example, 14
202
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:38,240
days on my podcast, then I will start posting publicly no matter what.
203
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:44,840
And usually I don't come up with a time limit right away because I trust myself to actually
204
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,560
follow through on it and actually come up with a time limit, not just indefinitely never
205
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,060
post.
206
00:16:51,060 --> 00:16:54,560
But if you don't trust yourself, you should definitely come up with a time limit.
207
00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:00,080
And then when that time limit expires, so do 14 days of posting a podcast.
208
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:07,640
And then once those days come up, you have to post on day 15 online for real.
209
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:16,080
And I'm not going to lie, when I posted my podcast for real, my trailer, I didn't actually
210
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,400
post it for that day.
211
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,560
I scheduled it for like five or six days later.
212
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,760
So I have like five or six days cushion of podcast just because I still don't trust myself
213
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:34,160
because I'm new to this and I want to be able to build up a reputation, build up skills
214
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:44,640
and build up consistency before I cut out those five days because I don't want to accidentally
215
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,760
miss a day and you guys miss an episode.
216
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,560
I want publicly all of my episodes to be consistent.
217
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:58,160
So every single day you guys will be able to expect an episode no matter what.
218
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:04,600
And even if I forget to record an episode one day, I'll still have those five extra days
219
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:05,600
cushion.
220
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,840
So then I'll just record to the next day.
221
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:09,840
And yeah.
222
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:17,360
And I'm so this, as you guys can see, this is my journey so far.
223
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,200
I'm only on like episode eight, I think.
224
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,200
And I'm already so much better at talking.
225
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:29,280
And also, I want you guys to know that I'm not just practicing podcasting.
226
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:35,000
I'm meditating every single day, two times a day for 20 minutes each time.
227
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,600
So in the morning I wake up, 20 minute meditation and then I do, well I do the Wim Hof method
228
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,040
for 20 minutes, which is just hyperventilating.
229
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,120
You should go to his website to learn it, but it's pretty much breathe fast in through
230
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:56,600
the nose, out through the mouth, 30 reps and then exhale and hold your breath there on
231
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,960
the exhale until you need another breath and then breathe in all the way.
232
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:08,800
Hold that for 15 seconds and then exhale and then repeat that entire process like three
233
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:09,800
or four times.
234
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,920
I usually do it four times in the morning and then that's 20 minutes.
235
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:19,720
So that's like 15 minutes and then I just sit and meditate, focus on my breath for the
236
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,000
rest of that time.
237
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,800
And I have two timers actually, two stopwatches because my phone does not come in my room
238
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,800
ever.
239
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,520
I always keep my phone in the basement as far away as possible on airplane mode, powered
240
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:33,720
off.
241
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:41,800
And so I have two actual like physical timers where one is set to 20 minutes and one is
242
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,000
set to 30 minutes.
243
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,280
And what that does is I start them both at the same time and then I turn off the 20 minute
244
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,720
one when it goes off and then I switch to a different meditation, which I'm working
245
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,720
on.
246
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,080
I'm not sure what it's called, but it's pretty much like a resistance training breathing
247
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:09,960
exercise where you have a metal straw and then you breathe in for four counts and then
248
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:15,360
hold it for four counts, exhale for four counts, hold it for four counts.
249
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:21,200
Sometimes I just breathe in for four counts, exhale for four counts, but that I have a friend
250
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,800
who said that that's really good for your core development and building up your diaphragm.
251
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,200
So I'm practicing that.
252
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:35,080
And then at nighttime I do 20 minute journaling of my thoughts like right before I go to bed
253
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,520
after my nighttime routine and I have this set at the same time every day.
254
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:48,920
So at 5.50 I'm in my room journaling and then 5.10.
255
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,440
I'm in the works of reworking my routine so I don't actually know for sure yet.
256
00:20:53,440 --> 00:21:00,800
I think it's 5.40 I start journaling and then at 6 I start meditating for 30 minutes and
257
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:07,880
then once that alarm goes off I actually set both my alarms again, one for 50 minutes and
258
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,400
one for 20 minutes.
259
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,600
Once the 20 minutes goes off I start meditating until that alarm goes off.
260
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:20,520
And I find that if you have an actual alarm it's so much better because you don't have
261
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:28,040
to open your eyes to see how much time is up so that it doesn't actually ruin your experience,
262
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,720
your meditation.
263
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,880
So I actually can just trust on the alarm to go off and get me out of the meditation.
264
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,720
And it's like a mental builder too because you're sitting in your boredom and you just
265
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,400
tell yourself you're not going to open your eyes until that alarm goes off.
266
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:51,000
But yeah I actually feel that meditating every day consistently is one of the best decisions
267
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,520
I made and I didn't actually implement this until like one month ago until I bought this
268
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:04,120
mat and kept it in my room so I could actually have meditation in my routine every day.
269
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:09,000
And now I actually sleep on that mat but that's a story for a different day.
270
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:16,400
Alright everybody, that was a good episode.
271
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,400
Thanks for listening.
272
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,400
Have a great day.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,640
The question is this, how do young men like us, who didn't listen to society, who are
2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:11,200
on our own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow?
3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:17,440
That is the question and this show will give you the answers.
4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:28,560
My name is James Radzinski and this is the Ascend Momentum Show.
5
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,360
Welcome back everybody.
6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,760
So today was a good day.
7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:45,160
I'm on day four of Russell Bronson's first funnel challenge and that day was good, first
8
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:54,040
challenge, but I will say that it was the worst day so far because there was only one
9
00:00:54,040 --> 00:01:03,520
speaker and he spent the majority of the time making his offer and trying to sell his $2,000
10
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:09,440
offer, which is a very good offer and it's a very good thing to study how he was offering
11
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:16,000
it because he was using the perfect webinar script to actually sell it.
12
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:25,360
And what I've learned is that I just need to study, study, study all of my books from
13
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:37,680
him and from there just keep acting and keep pushing through my comfort because there's
14
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,720
a lot of things that I'm going to have to do that are going to be uncomfortable but
15
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,840
it's what I need to do to be able to get success.
16
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:54,920
But one thing that I came to the realization today was that when I was reading, let me
17
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,080
just tell you a quick story first.
18
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:08,640
When I was reading the 4 hour work week by Timothy Ferris, I learned of this thing where
19
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:14,320
you do figure out the one thing that you need to do to move forward.
20
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,040
The most important thing to where if that was the only thing you did that day, it would
21
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,360
be a productive day and just do that.
22
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,360
Only do that.
23
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,360
Don't get distracted.
24
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,360
Don't do any emails and stuff.
25
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,520
And that's good.
26
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,040
So I was implementing that.
27
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:36,800
That's what I would say to my friend, hey, what's your task for today?
28
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,080
And he would say the same to me.
29
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,960
And then we would do that task that day.
30
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:48,520
But I realized that I am getting distracted by emails and I'm forming bad habits.
31
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,160
So I need to put a nip to that.
32
00:02:51,160 --> 00:03:01,400
But also by the time I did get down to business, I was uncomfortable and quickly went to another
33
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,440
photo tab like email or read a book or something like that.
34
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,600
And it was just an unproductive time.
35
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:17,160
So I have to do what the speaker on day four said.
36
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,600
I forgot her name.
37
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,840
I feel bad, but I forgot her name.
38
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,280
But she just said, just do it.
39
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:37,240
And she gave a whole speech about how the enemy to entrepreneurs is not the mindset.
40
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,400
It's or I don't even remember.
41
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:50,920
I'm probably butchering this, but it was something along the lines of the enemy to your achieving
42
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,560
your goals or getting progress is not your mindset.
43
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:03,280
But it's your inaction or it's how long you take to do something.
44
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,360
I don't know.
45
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:11,560
It's pretty much however you respond to an act.
46
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,560
I don't know.
47
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Here, let me start over.
48
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:23,640
When you have figure out your mission critical task and you don't do it, that is the enemy
49
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,800
to entrepreneurship, not mindset, not nothing.
50
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,160
You need to figure out your task and then sit down and just do it.
51
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,400
That's what she said.
52
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Just do it.
53
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,400
You need to just do it.
54
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,800
And that's there's one billionaire that she talked about that no one really knows of.
55
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,760
And here, let me pull it up in my notes.
56
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:58,440
There's a billionaire that she talked about that no one really knows of that said that
57
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:07,280
issued all of that gave credit to all of his wealth and success to one phrase.
58
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:13,880
And that phrase is I'm on the page.
59
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,980
One second.
60
00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:17,140
Do it now.
61
00:05:17,140 --> 00:05:22,760
And he would repeat do it now, do it now, do it now every single day over a hundred
62
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,760
times to himself.
63
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:31,240
He would actually make all of his employees repeat do it now to themselves a hundred
64
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,240
times.
65
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,680
And oh, here it is.
66
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,760
The number one enemy of wealth is not mindset.
67
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,160
It's delay.
68
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,680
And that's that just comes in your thoughts.
69
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,680
You have to beat it by using words.
70
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,880
You have to beat your thoughts by using words and that's do it now.
71
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,720
You just have to repeat do it now.
72
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,640
So you know what?
73
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,160
Here's an actionable step right now.
74
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,160
Get out a piece of paper.
75
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,080
I'm going to tear out a piece of paper out of my notebook.
76
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,200
There you go.
77
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,680
You probably heard that rip.
78
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:18,960
And write down the following in really big letters to take up the entire page.
79
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,560
Do it now.
80
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,360
Exclamation point.
81
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,080
Now leave that piece of paper on your desk upright so you can see it.
82
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:39,600
And also I already did this, but another actionable step is take out a piece of paper and write
83
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,760
down on the top on the header.
84
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,560
What is my task today?
85
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:51,600
And then under it say one with a period next to it and then a colon or whatever you want
86
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,160
just to show that this is an example and you don't write on it just to get your mind thinking
87
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,840
about what your task is.
88
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:04,280
And then under that say now say exactly what I say.
89
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:09,400
Say write down now comma just do it.
90
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,520
And those are the two pieces of paper that I'm going to keep on my desk for now.
91
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,400
I'm actually going to put the just do it right under my monitor on the monitor stand so I
92
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,640
can see that.
93
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,560
And then what is my task today?
94
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,800
Just near my notebook.
95
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:31,480
And what that will do is just keep training my brain to every time I see it I'll be conscious
96
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,480
of it.
97
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,680
So this will only work if you're conscious of it.
98
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:40,720
So I want you every time you see it and notice it repeat yourself just do it and that will
99
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,440
be a reminder and you have 99 more times to go to say that.
100
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:51,200
So right now I've probably said it 20 times today and it's 3pm that's not enough.
101
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,200
Tomorrow I'm going to say it 100 times.
102
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,720
Today I'm going to say it 100 times.
103
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,520
Just do it, just do it, just do it.
104
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,760
There's three more.
105
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,120
So every time I see it but you have to you can't just go through the motions.
106
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,640
You have to consciously say it or else it won't work.
107
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,480
You won't get any benefit out of it.
108
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,440
And you have to feel it.
109
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:16,600
And then this will work especially well if you remember to say it and act on it when
110
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,080
it's time to just do it.
111
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:30,600
So today I don't know if you guys heard my story about how I first got into podcasting.
112
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:36,120
Just because I read Russell Brunson's book, Expert Secrets and in there he said if you
113
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:42,400
post your show every day for the next year you will never have to worry about money again.
114
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:48,320
And so I was just like okay I'll try it and at first I just recorded my episodes on voice
115
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,000
memos and never posted them on my phone.
116
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,640
Just because I was so nervous and this was just like three weeks ago I talked about this
117
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,480
in my last episode too but this was just like three weeks ago.
118
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:12,120
It was a really short period of time ago and I posted 14, er not posted, I recorded 14
119
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:20,960
episodes before I actually built up the balls and the confidence to actually post my show
120
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,960
for real online.
121
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,960
And when I did post it online it sucked.
122
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:32,200
Because you guys can see going back to the trailer even like 7 or 8 episodes ago the
123
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,840
trailer sucked.
124
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:39,240
But now I'm getting way, way better and the times are getting longer and longer.
125
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:45,160
When I was practicing for 14 episodes on my voice memos I would only record for less than
126
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,160
8 minutes.
127
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,200
Most times it was like 5 minutes because I just could not think anything to say.
128
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,720
I couldn't come up with anything to say and a lot of times I was just sitting there in
129
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,880
awkward silence.
130
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,960
But why do I say this?
131
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:08,080
I say this because today I recorded my first three tiktoks and I just put them, er actually
132
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,680
yesterday I recorded one, today I recorded four.
133
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:18,160
The two that I recorded yesterday and the first one I recorded today were just ads and
134
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,760
I published them privately and I realized that I don't think I want to be uploading that
135
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,920
kind of tiktok because I don't think that's how you succeed in that.
136
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,360
You have to provide value to be able to get customers or viewers and then those viewers
137
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,640
turn into loyal viewers and then they get curious, go to your page, go to your link
138
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:45,560
tree and then go from there.
139
00:10:45,560 --> 00:11:03,000
I kind of just blanked.
140
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:10,680
I was talking about the, they go to my, oh yeah, so I'm saying this because I posted two
141
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:19,760
videos privately and then three videos I actually am going to post, maybe.
142
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:28,600
I recorded them back to back, they're three, like one minute long tiktoks and each of them
143
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:36,000
just goes through one step of my framework and tomorrow I plan on posting the other three
144
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:43,880
and recording the other three, just the six step framework to start improving yourself.
145
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:50,360
If you don't have that book, actually go to selfimprovementguidebook.com to learn more
146
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:59,640
and then just click, like, or you can, if you just want to go straight to it, selfimprovementguidebook.com
147
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:06,360
slash get-now.
148
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:13,840
I just went, I funnel hacked Russell Brunson's tiktoks and wrote down a framework of what
149
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,160
I think he's using in his tiktoks and then recorded the first three episodes and I plan
150
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:25,320
on posting three episodes a day, three tiktoks a day, just like what I did, what I'm doing
151
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,840
with podcasting and I'll continue to post a podcast a day every day, so I'll post one
152
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:39,440
podcast every day and three tiktoks every day and those three tiktoks will be the,
153
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:47,720
I really predict that if I can get one to go big and just practice my skills at posting
154
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:53,800
then by the time I actually run paid ads I'll be so much better off and I'm not actually
155
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,280
going to be running paid ads until I'm 18 because you're not allowed to create a tiktok
156
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,200
business account until you're 18.
157
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:11,800
But yeah, so pretty much why I'm saying all of this to wrap everything up is I didn't
158
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:18,040
start any podcasting or tiktoks publicly.
159
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,600
I just practice privately on my own consistently every day.
160
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:30,080
I recorded 14 days, 14 episodes of a podcast that no one has seen yet.
161
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,480
I only shared one podcast with my friend and I don't even think he opened it, which I don't
162
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,560
blame him because I probably wouldn't open it either.
163
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:44,240
But I say this because you don't need to post your stuff if you're uncomfortable.
164
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:51,200
You can do it yourself and then also I'm linking this back to a lesson that I learned today
165
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,280
is we don't have an issue with problems.
166
00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:00,440
Our problem isn't the problem, it's our relationship with the problems.
167
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,320
So if you have problems, okay, you have problems, but the fact that we're letting the problems
168
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,880
stop us is the issue.
169
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,320
That's our relationship with them.
170
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,800
When we come up with a problem, when we go to my notes, but when we come up with a problem
171
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:22,960
we need to create a plan on how to deal with the problem.
172
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,280
So that was me.
173
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,680
I was too nervous.
174
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:36,440
My problem was I was too nervous to go to or to post my first podcast publicly because
175
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,440
I sucked.
176
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:45,720
So my plan was to post podcasts temporarily for the time being and I had to stay conscious
177
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:51,240
that I was actually going to post publicly eventually and then I just set the time to
178
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,240
14 days.
179
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,400
It's the time limit of 14 days and then I'll post no matter what.
180
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,240
And that was my plan and then now I'm going to get success because I'm way more comfortable
181
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,760
now doing podcasts.
182
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,320
So and this also happened with my sister.
183
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,760
She was too scared to go to the gym and lift weights.
184
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,560
So because she was afraid that she'd see someone that she knows.
185
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,720
So she drove, she still does this, I think.
186
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:26,080
She drives an extra like 20 minutes to the further gym away, the gym just out of town
187
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,880
and she works out there.
188
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,000
So she doesn't have to worry about other people.
189
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,320
And once she builds up confidence, she will probably go to the local gym.
190
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,720
So we need, I just learned about this concept today.
191
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,240
We need to fix our relationship with problems.
192
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,120
And so this is a very valuable lesson for you guys to learn.
193
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,120
We need to fix our relationship with our problems.
194
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,160
So I want you to write that down right now.
195
00:15:53,160 --> 00:16:03,160
Fix my relationship with my problems.
196
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:09,480
And so to do that, you just have to realize that you have a problem and then come up with
197
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,560
a plan on how to deal with it.
198
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,840
So right now my problem is I'm scared to post TikToks.
199
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:25,440
So I am going to record three TikToks a day, every single day and post them to my drafts
200
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,040
folder.
201
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,560
And then once I become confident enough or once a time limit reaches, for example, 14
202
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:38,240
days on my podcast, then I will start posting publicly no matter what.
203
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:44,840
And usually I don't come up with a time limit right away because I trust myself to actually
204
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,560
follow through on it and actually come up with a time limit, not just indefinitely never
205
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,060
post.
206
00:16:51,060 --> 00:16:54,560
But if you don't trust yourself, you should definitely come up with a time limit.
207
00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:00,080
And then when that time limit expires, so do 14 days of posting a podcast.
208
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:07,640
And then once those days come up, you have to post on day 15 online for real.
209
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:16,080
And I'm not going to lie, when I posted my podcast for real, my trailer, I didn't actually
210
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,400
post it for that day.
211
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,560
I scheduled it for like five or six days later.
212
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,760
So I have like five or six days cushion of podcast just because I still don't trust myself
213
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:34,160
because I'm new to this and I want to be able to build up a reputation, build up skills
214
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:44,640
and build up consistency before I cut out those five days because I don't want to accidentally
215
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,760
miss a day and you guys miss an episode.
216
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,560
I want publicly all of my episodes to be consistent.
217
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:58,160
So every single day you guys will be able to expect an episode no matter what.
218
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:04,600
And even if I forget to record an episode one day, I'll still have those five extra days
219
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:05,600
cushion.
220
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,840
So then I'll just record to the next day.
221
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:09,840
And yeah.
222
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:17,360
And I'm so this, as you guys can see, this is my journey so far.
223
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,200
I'm only on like episode eight, I think.
224
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,200
And I'm already so much better at talking.
225
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:29,280
And also, I want you guys to know that I'm not just practicing podcasting.
226
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:35,000
I'm meditating every single day, two times a day for 20 minutes each time.
227
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,600
So in the morning I wake up, 20 minute meditation and then I do, well I do the Wim Hof method
228
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,040
for 20 minutes, which is just hyperventilating.
229
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,120
You should go to his website to learn it, but it's pretty much breathe fast in through
230
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:56,600
the nose, out through the mouth, 30 reps and then exhale and hold your breath there on
231
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,960
the exhale until you need another breath and then breathe in all the way.
232
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:08,800
Hold that for 15 seconds and then exhale and then repeat that entire process like three
233
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:09,800
or four times.
234
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,920
I usually do it four times in the morning and then that's 20 minutes.
235
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:19,720
So that's like 15 minutes and then I just sit and meditate, focus on my breath for the
236
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,000
rest of that time.
237
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,800
And I have two timers actually, two stopwatches because my phone does not come in my room
238
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,800
ever.
239
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,520
I always keep my phone in the basement as far away as possible on airplane mode, powered
240
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:33,720
off.
241
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:41,800
And so I have two actual like physical timers where one is set to 20 minutes and one is
242
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,000
set to 30 minutes.
243
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,280
And what that does is I start them both at the same time and then I turn off the 20 minute
244
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,720
one when it goes off and then I switch to a different meditation, which I'm working
245
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,720
on.
246
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,080
I'm not sure what it's called, but it's pretty much like a resistance training breathing
247
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:09,960
exercise where you have a metal straw and then you breathe in for four counts and then
248
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:15,360
hold it for four counts, exhale for four counts, hold it for four counts.
249
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:21,200
Sometimes I just breathe in for four counts, exhale for four counts, but that I have a friend
250
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,800
who said that that's really good for your core development and building up your diaphragm.
251
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,200
So I'm practicing that.
252
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:35,080
And then at nighttime I do 20 minute journaling of my thoughts like right before I go to bed
253
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,520
after my nighttime routine and I have this set at the same time every day.
254
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:48,920
So at 5.50 I'm in my room journaling and then 5.10.
255
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,440
I'm in the works of reworking my routine so I don't actually know for sure yet.
256
00:20:53,440 --> 00:21:00,800
I think it's 5.40 I start journaling and then at 6 I start meditating for 30 minutes and
257
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:07,880
then once that alarm goes off I actually set both my alarms again, one for 50 minutes and
258
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,400
one for 20 minutes.
259
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,600
Once the 20 minutes goes off I start meditating until that alarm goes off.
260
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:20,520
And I find that if you have an actual alarm it's so much better because you don't have
261
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:28,040
to open your eyes to see how much time is up so that it doesn't actually ruin your experience,
262
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,720
your meditation.
263
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,880
So I actually can just trust on the alarm to go off and get me out of the meditation.
264
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,720
And it's like a mental builder too because you're sitting in your boredom and you just
265
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,400
tell yourself you're not going to open your eyes until that alarm goes off.
266
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:51,000
But yeah I actually feel that meditating every day consistently is one of the best decisions
267
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,520
I made and I didn't actually implement this until like one month ago until I bought this
268
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:04,120
mat and kept it in my room so I could actually have meditation in my routine every day.
269
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:09,000
And now I actually sleep on that mat but that's a story for a different day.
270
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:16,400
Alright everybody, that was a good episode.
271
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,400
Thanks for listening.
272
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,400
Have a great day.
