- If you were my student and you were distracting yourself
If you were my student and you were distracting yourself
here’s what I’d tell you to do
Hey man,
I’m writing you this from the hotel room here in Berlin, Germany.
About to go on a 4 day conference called “Train the Trainer”.
But I wanted to check in with you
because I know one big challenge that I’ve faced many times on my journey (still sometimes do)
is that I distract myself.
You know the feeling yeah?
Coming home from work and instead of sitting down and building your dream life, you feel tired and start scrolling your phone.
An hour late there is no energy left
So you just start making dinner and that was that evening.
But hey, what if there is a way you can overcome that distraction and start living your dream life instead?
It starts by recognizing why you’re distracting yourself
See, wether we like it or not, our emotions can have a significant influence on us
and if we don’t feel like something, we tend to not do it.
(I’m not talking about forcing yourself to do it, so stay with me)
And what I’ve found through my own journey as well as helping 12 shy guys meet and connect with women is that often times, there is some emotions within us that we are distracting ourselves from
It’s like something we don’t want to feel, so we fill that with scrolling (even porn and weed)
just to not deal with it.
But while it works temporary, it just pushes away our dreams.
And man, how long are you willing to wait to start living?
Not long, I hope, because here’s what I’d tell you if you were my student:
When you come home and you start to feel like distracting yourself
1) Do not distract yourself
2) Do not force it
Instead, do the third option which is to sit with yourself
To deal with those distractions from the Inside-Out
talking with your inner child
and by doing so, you’ll feel more grounded and lighter
it becomes easier to actually take the first step
and before you know it
you’re also sitting in a hotel room in a different country, writing an e-mail for your E-mail list;)
(or sitting on a bitch on a Monday morning somewhere warm)
Point is that you start to live your dream life, not because you are forcing your way there,
but because you are removing what is in between you and your goal.
The-Inside-Out Approach
Tomorrow you’ll receive something special, as a thank you for being part of this newsletter.
See you and keep growing,
