SOME QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:
If you're not growing, you're dying to some extent.
When I'm calm and I'm fed and I'm well-rested, I'm building a more resilient self in thicker skin and also with more skills.
All those obstacles are the things that we're stressing out about in the day to day life. And it's just basically the obstacles-- I've got to take care of this shit, so I'm going to go take care of it now. Deal with it, then you're not worried about it.
A lot of times, some goals will be impossible to achieve in one year. If you think about five years down the road, you can think bigger-- what do I want my life to look like? Cause you know what, in five years it's actually possible. If I start working on it now, in five years I can actually get to this specific place.
What would my life look like in a bigger picture? Am I gonna have kids? Am I gonna have dogs? Am I going to live in a house? Am I gonna live in an apartment? Are we going to have one car or two cars? How many hours a day am I working? How many days a week am I working? Or a month? How much money am I making? ... We're talking about five years down the road.
So I've written down my stuff. My life plan is clear and allows me to do more of what I want to do, whether it be the movement practice, spending time with my family... All of those things that I figured out are very important to me. How can I make them happen? … Give yourself five years.
If you're in a routine, you're kind of conscious of things even though you're letting the routine actually help you not be conscious of what you have to do… You're able to be conscious of what you're doing while you're in it cause you're not worried about what's happening next.
