IT'S. ALL. DAY.
I Fell Off Hard, Where Have I Been The Last 3 Months?? (Recap)
Episode Summary
Today I recap what's been hectic last 3 months and why I've been gone from the podcast! Hint*** It was mainly my fault
Episode Notes
- I’ve been gone for almost 3 months here’s what happened:
- I had 2 romantic relationships blow up around this time. They blew up because of me tbh and thinking I could manage both of them
- I tried to keep one of them alive but it was hurting me more than filling my cup up
- My best friends mom got diagnosed with Cancer
- My mom and her man got married and I officiated the wedding
- Soccer season ended and I had 2 injuries I had to overcome from the season
- I started my newest certification for OPEX which was 2 hours every Tuesday for 12 weeks and will take me a year to finish
- My dad’s wife had been sick for the last 2 years and she just passed away a couple weeks ago
- I let go of the relationship I tried to keep alive and that to me felt like someone in my life just died
- Health complications I’ve been dealing with all year were persistent during this time of high stress
- My business was slowly declining due to the fact that I was declining as a person
- The reason I’m making this podcast is to share my struggles with you all so that you can relate and know you’re not alone when shit gets hard
- But also made this podcast to share how looking back at these last 3 months; a lot of the pain I am going through now could’ve been avoided if I was able to forgo the immediate pleasure that most of my decisions gave me.
- The 2 relationships blowing up is really what’s taken me out for this long. I did tell both of these people I wasn’t looking for anything serious and that I would be talking to other people but the way I handled it was poor and as a result it caused me more pain and grief
- These relationships were great in their own ways but they weren’t serving me and helping me become the man I want to be or help my business because if my personal life is in turmoil, as a solopreneur that turmoil will effect my business so I have to be hyper vigialant of who I let in and if you’re out there trying to work on yourself then you need to be just as vigilant so you can avoid what I’ve been going through
- The reason I made this podcast is to share my fuckups but also to call out anyone listening who is trying to make improvements in your life and ask them “what remarkably stupid things am I doing right now that I could change, that I would be willing to change?”
- If you ask that question and really want to know the answer you’ll get some answers you don’t want to hear.
- I didn’t want to let go of this relationship, its one I’ve had over the last 3 years of my life (with me from the beginning of my own coaching business) but in order to be the guy who can lead others, make 10k months consistently, be in quality shape, and have positive habits, rituals, friendships in my life then I had to let her go and its one of the hardest things I’ve done
- I’m still hurting from it while recording and will probably still be hurting from it long after this podcast is posted but I’m making this now to share with you all that I’m choosing the harder choice now in life in the hopes that there is something better for me in the future and I urge you to do the same
- I’ve had to do this along my journey plenty of times; first it was giving up junk foods, then it was stopping drinking, then it was putting the weed down, now its let the relationship go….
- For you it might be a different vice but ask yourself is this vice getting me closer to my goal or just helping me think its okay that I’m never going to reach my targets I’ve set out?
- If your vice is only for the latter then this podcast was made for you as a challenge to stop your self destruction for 60 days and then evaluate and see if you want it back in your life or not.
- I’ve already started, now it’s your turn!
