Wake up, execute on set habits that i swore that i'd quit last night, feel shame, toilet, skip the shower because today i feel a little tired. I've been fortunate enough to do this as a job. But i started from a down low so bad i actually logically justified suicide in my journal a few times. It seemed like no matter what i did, i kept hitting the same invisible blocks and then just fell off completely. Cycles like this happen at every level, because at every level, there's a new requirement/standard for the identity and nervous system that you have to possess. For me, they look like this: - Think about starting youtube, start it, post a few videos, but then lose the drive because i don't believe it's going to work. - Push past, record 20-50 videos, 1-3 videos do 10x views, but then for a few weeks i don't see progress, i lose hope, and then quit. - I get my first sale, feel great, excited, but then feel like i don't deserve it and like i've scammed my customer because i just think my product is shit (even though it isn't), so i fall off. - I make a few sales, but they just don't hit like the first sale, so i stop having that feedback loop that rewards me and i lose the fun in recording, so i slow down, and eventually fall off. At every level, i encountered a roadblock, recognised it and overcame it. It happens to all of us. At every level, your nervous system, belief systems, perspective and identity has to level up to match what you want and have. You can't have a healthy loving relationship if you hate yourself. You can't have a thriving business if you're afraid of or feel scarce about money. First its a limiting belief about making your first sale. Then it's about charging more. It keeps continuing. Life really is a game. The one thing that's helped me stay consistent, be aware of when a limiting belief or roadblock comes up and finally be able to deal and process all of it and move on, is, has been and will be meditation. Not the cross legged, perfect posture type.
