Are you stuck?
Welcome to the Self-Performance Strategies Podcast.
Main quote:
Growth is painful. Change is painful. But, nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong.
- R. Narayana Murthy
Main Takeaways:
Frustration sucks
You've been there, grinding away but feeling like you are standing still as life moves past you.
It often happens when you let the wrong activities deplete your energy.
The good news is a few changes can make an incredible difference in your life.
Life is simple; no one said it was easy.
The concepts that will help you are always the fundamentals.
The simple repetitive habits you do daily are what matters.
Complex ideas and systems don't help you grow.
Find a few habits you can do daily.
Stick with them for months.
You WILL see change and escape frustration.
Your results aren't growing because you're not growing.
6 reasons why you feel stuck:
Not regulating your mood:
You don't feel good, and your emotions affect your performance.
You need systems like journaling and meditation that allow you to focus on your wins and vision for life.
The right daily systems produce the energy you need and help improve your mood.
Not being consistent:
You don't stick with what matters.
You jump from idea to idea.
You miss out on the magic of compounding.
You need to show up often to move your needle forward.
Focus on 3 key pillars in life daily, and you will quickly tap into the power of consistency.
Not learning:
Your results don't improve because you don't reflect on your actions.
Get out in front of your mistakes.
Failure is only failure if you learn nothing.
No freedom to focus:
You love distractions.
You can never find the energy to push yourself to get the work done.
You often find yourself procrastinating and then punishing yourself mentally.
Defeat this by finding space early each day to do deep work on your important tasks.
No momentum:
Your life is set up to feel like you are starting and stopping.
You constantly feel frustrated and behind on your work.
Momentum happens when you focus on high-value and high-$$$ activities.
No fun:
All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.
Having fun is 100% different than being distracted.
When you focus on having a fun day once a week, your brain can relax.
A performance strategy that many people miss:
Your time away is as important as your deep work.
