Write your Top 5 Struggles and Top 5 Contrasting Wins

Procrastinating/focus issue I procrastinate and in some cases am lazy until I am put under pressure. I can sometimes get too stimulated and can’t focus on a single thing and just get lazy and end up doing nothing. I have been known to waste time doom scrolling and would just feel guilty about it eventually stressing me out even more. I have so many great ideas and possible but I struggle to execute and put them on paper. I have ADHD and really struggle focusing at times I take some medication but I hate the side effects.

Budgeting issue- I Struggle with budgeting and love spending money. I have been in sales so money comes and goes so I never have a monthly stable income to have to budget with. I used to make alot more money and I have struggled over the last 5 years adjusting back down. I am embraced to tell my financial advisor I have created way more credit card debt than I should have I don’t prioritize saving as much as I could and it shows. I sometimes also go to the casino or make a sports bet when I should be saving which doesn’t help.

Self-discipline- I have struggled with being more responsible with my choices. I used to smoke marijuana but it wouldn’t help me personally. but would make me lazy and I wouldn’t plan for the future. I would drink more often than I should and some nights over consumed when I should have been able to control myself.

body image issue- I have worked out for years but have struggled with ever feeling satisfied when I do end up getting into great shape. Looking in the mirror I always see the skinny boy who was made fun of for years. I also have some back issues that have also hindered my fitness goals.

Afraid to fail- As much as I am excited and here to learn social media with Daniel and everyone. I am embarrassed to put myself out there. I have a fear of failing and being made fun of for it. Putting your life out there for anyone makes me feel very vulnerable and I don’t want to get roasted for a lack of better terms.

5 wins

Procrastination- I can also hyper focus and be very productive when I put in the effort. There are days when I get everything done and couldn’t be more productive. I hope this course will give me a way to be more balanced and productive and learn about what it takes daily to succeed using Instagram.

Budgeting issue-I have slowly made more money every year and there is progress being made. I am on my way to creating a future although it has been more slow going than anticipated I do know what is needed to afford what we can. This course can be another outlet to help with our monthly income.

Self discipline- I am being more responsible daily with my choice and don’t drink or use other products nearly as much. My sleep has gotten better and I have seen good progress made. I am now engaged as well to Kelly so this has also motivated me to be more of a provider and make better choices daily for us both.

Body image issue- I no longer feel insignificant or small and have stayed in pretty good shape for years. I have also helped my pinched nerves through lifting and stretching. I feel better about how I look and am on track to get into the best shape of my life for my wedding.

Afraid to fail- being here and putting in the effort will help me get over this hump. I will prove I can do this and I am sure I will look back and laugh at how afraid I was later down the road.

Contrasting win:

Self Discipline

Most people assume big life changes required dramatic moves… but to be honest progress comes from small daily decisions only you see.

You don’t need a life overhaul to level up — you need better daily choices stacked consistently.

Everyone wants the success, but no one is willing to put in the effort. But it’s easier than you think.
