Getting out of Bed

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,340 The question is this, how do young men like us who didn't listen to society or on our 2 00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:14,000 own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow? 3 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,160 That is the question and this podcast will give you the answers. 4 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:29,380 My name is James Radsinski and this is the Ascend Momentum Show. 5 00:00:29,380 --> 00:00:31,380 Welcome back everyone. 6 00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:39,380 So I want to start things off today by talking about a lesson I learned yesterday. 7 00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:44,380 And I want to give you a quick little backstory. 8 00:00:44,380 --> 00:00:50,380 For the past couple weeks I've been just reading books. 9 00:00:50,380 --> 00:00:52,380 That's all I've been doing. 10 00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:57,380 I've been going to football practice and then coming home and just reading books. 11 00:00:57,380 --> 00:01:13,380 And I was talking with a friend on a job and he just said that I have to value my time more. 12 00:01:13,380 --> 00:01:15,380 And that really stuck out to me. 13 00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:20,380 I 100% agree. 14 00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:25,380 I am not valuing my time enough. 15 00:01:25,380 --> 00:01:34,380 Now before you get me wrong, reading books are an essential habit. 16 00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:37,380 It is high value. 17 00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:43,380 But I know exactly what I need to do right now to move forward in my business. 18 00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:45,380 But I'm simply not doing it. 19 00:01:45,380 --> 00:01:49,380 I'm just distracting myself with more books. 20 00:01:49,380 --> 00:02:04,380 So right now I'm a watch renewer and I have to value my time more and just sit down, focus up, and get the work done that needs to be done. 21 00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:07,380 So that's that. 22 00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:11,380 That was the lesson I learned yesterday. 23 00:02:11,380 --> 00:02:15,380 But I want to talk to you about something. 24 00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:23,380 A year ago I found myself just scrolling through TikTok all day. 25 00:02:23,380 --> 00:02:25,380 Not even left my bed yet. 26 00:02:25,380 --> 00:02:32,380 I was just sitting in my room on my bed scrolling through TikTok. 27 00:02:32,380 --> 00:02:39,380 And that's what I would do for like hours before I woke up. 28 00:02:39,380 --> 00:02:50,380 And I want to say that I felt extremely lazy and I felt trapped when I was in those moments. 29 00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:52,380 I didn't want to get up. 30 00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:58,380 It just seemed way easier to just sit down and lay there. 31 00:02:58,380 --> 00:03:07,380 And there was one time I remember scrolling through TikTok, scrolling through like, you know, these videos. 32 00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:16,380 And then suddenly I realized that the past 10 videos that I watched, I did not even enjoy. 33 00:03:16,380 --> 00:03:25,380 So then I got up and it was actually difficult to get up and get off my phone and go take a shower. 34 00:03:25,380 --> 00:03:40,380 And I realized that you have to build up discipline to be able to even get out of your bed. 35 00:03:40,380 --> 00:03:45,380 And it'll get way easier, the stronger your discipline is. 36 00:03:45,380 --> 00:03:52,380 And especially it'll get extremely easy if you have a purpose in life. 37 00:03:52,380 --> 00:03:57,380 One year ago when I was just sitting there in my bed scrolling through TikTok, I had no purpose. 38 00:03:57,380 --> 00:03:59,380 There was no meaning in my life. 39 00:03:59,380 --> 00:04:05,380 I didn't have anything that I felt called to do. 40 00:04:05,380 --> 00:04:16,380 But once I gained a purpose of going to the gym and lifting weights and getting stronger and building my physique up, that was my purpose. 41 00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:23,380 And to be honest, it was so easy to get out of bed after that. 42 00:04:23,380 --> 00:04:29,380 Once I really started getting into the gym, it was really... 43 00:04:29,380 --> 00:04:38,380 It was not easy, but it was way easier compared to how it was when I was just trapped on my phone. 44 00:04:38,380 --> 00:04:47,380 But I tell you this story because it's not your discipline. 45 00:04:47,380 --> 00:04:53,380 It's not your... you're not the reason. 46 00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:55,380 There's not something wrong with you. 47 00:04:55,380 --> 00:05:02,380 It's just you haven't been taken under someone else's wing. 48 00:05:02,380 --> 00:05:09,380 And you haven't been educated properly. 49 00:05:09,380 --> 00:05:16,380 You've just been consumed by social media and we as a society let that happen. 50 00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:30,380 So in that sense, it's not your fault that you find it difficult to lay in bed or find it difficult to get out of bed in the morning. 51 00:05:30,380 --> 00:05:35,380 And I want to tell you a few tips. 52 00:05:35,380 --> 00:05:47,380 I want to just tell you what needs to be done to be able to move your life forward. 53 00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:55,380 First thing that I would do is I would build up your discipline because you can't really do anything without discipline. 54 00:05:55,380 --> 00:06:04,380 And then I would try and find a purpose like going to the gym. 55 00:06:04,380 --> 00:06:16,380 And there's some other steps too, like getting consistency in your life on everything. 56 00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:34,380 And then I would free up your time and I go into depth on all of these strategies and teach you what to do and how to do it in my guidebook. 57 00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:37,380 It's called the Self-Improvement Guidebook. 58 00:06:37,380 --> 00:06:44,380 And you can get it for free if you go to my website. 59 00:06:44,380 --> 00:06:48,380 www.Self-Improvement.com 60 00:06:48,380 --> 00:06:58,380 The website's not up yet, but hopefully by the time this podcast will go out, it will be up. 61 00:06:58,380 --> 00:07:01,380 That's my one critical task for today. 62 00:07:01,380 --> 00:07:07,380 So that brings me back to another thing, critical task. 63 00:07:07,380 --> 00:07:14,380 This concept I learned from the 4-hour work week. 64 00:07:14,380 --> 00:07:17,380 And it's pretty much where... 65 00:07:17,380 --> 00:07:20,380 Yeah! 66 00:07:20,380 --> 00:07:23,380 Okay. 67 00:07:23,380 --> 00:07:28,380 I will have a great day. 68 00:07:28,380 --> 00:07:32,380 4-hour work week. 69 00:07:32,380 --> 00:07:37,380 I have to... 70 00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:41,380 This is right when I was talking about focus. I lost my focus. 71 00:07:41,380 --> 00:07:47,380 I have to fix this and not get distracted while I'm recording my podcast. 72 00:07:47,380 --> 00:07:52,380 I can't let... I have to record my podcast outside of my house so I don't get distracted. 73 00:07:52,380 --> 00:07:56,380 I should go to the park and record my podcast for now on. 74 00:07:56,380 --> 00:07:59,380 Well, let's just talk about the 4-hour work week. 75 00:07:59,380 --> 00:08:01,380 Focus. 76 00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:19,380 You pretty much have to dial in on one task for the day and figure out what task that would be the most important task that is the number one task where if you didn't do anything else except for that, your day would be productive. 77 00:08:19,380 --> 00:08:23,380 So then you just only focus on that one task every single day. 78 00:08:23,380 --> 00:08:34,380 So for me, it's getting my website up and running to give out this free guidebook to everyone. 79 00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:54,380 Okay, well, that's it for today's episode. Have a great day!
