Weekend Recap 11/3 - 11/7

Hey self improver, a better world starts with a better you! So let's take another step toward your best self today. This is your weekend recap, now let’s review.

On Monday, you read how you can be the surgeon in the room. A surgeon only does what no one else can do. They have a team preparing every step of the process for them so they can focus on their expertise. While most of us don’t have the means to live like that, we can find our own ways to get support so that we stay in our own genius more often.

Tuesday, I shared one of the greatest frustrations of my life - how I was learning so much but my life wasn’t changing. And that’s because knowledge is just potential power, and it’s by putting what you learn into practice that you actually convert its potential into real life change. For me, a daily performance tracking routine and ecosystem of life systems helped me breakthrough my plateau. 

Then, Wednesday I wrote about the problems that come with having an -all or nothing- mindset, and that the only lasting path forward is one that’s more flexible. Rather than straining ourselves to maintain a certain standard, and then falling all the way off when life disrupts things, we can slowly build our foundation up one brick at a time. And that happens by showing up, and never quitting. As long as you stay in the game, you earn the right to take another swing.

Thursday I introduced you to an instant, completely free gift you can give to yourself that takes only 60 seconds. And that’s to do nothing but breathe. It’s incredibly expansive, grounding, and emotionally resetting to exit the world for just a few moments to be with yourself. It’s so good to do, we just forget to do it.

And finally, on Friday I wrote about the complexity that comes with the expression “what got you here won’t get you there.” On one hand, growth comes from doing more of what works and less of what doesn’t. Yet at times we need to change course because what we’ve been doing, that has worked in the past, is no longer producing the extent of results we want to see. Observing the rate of change, tapping into your intuition, and revisiting your vision will help you decide which path to take.
