Takeaways
Overcoming challenges in a neurodiverse mind The importance of finding motivation Resetting after achieving a goal Contentment in personal life Focusing on fitness Finding motivation for health and fitness can be a struggle Hope and excitement are often relied upon for motivation Consistency is more important than intensity in achieving goals Pretending lack of motivation doesn't exist can hinder progress Consistency is key for achieving fitness goals. Doing 10 minutes of exercise every day is better than one long workout. Repeating and being consistent with a routine is challenging but necessary for success. The 'boring' things often lead to the most significant results. Maintaining consistency can be difficult when routines are disrupted or forgotten. Performing mundane tasks consistently can be challenging due to the lack of immediate gratification. The brain may struggle to see the payoff or results of these tasks, making them feel boring and energy-consuming. Habits can be easily started and lost, and the automatic nature of habits can help overcome the friction and energy required to perform tasks consistently. Creating an external environment that supports desired behavior is crucial for making lasting changes. Using tools and resources that make it easy to follow through with desired habits can increase consistency. Staying motivated and pushing through challenges is key to maintaining new habits. Small habits and choices can have a significant impact on overall well-being. Routine can be valuable for dyslexics, but it can also be challenging. Some dyslexics thrive in a more spontaneous lifestyle without routine. Finding a balance between routine and freedom is important. It is important to enjoy the process and not just focus on the end result. Consistency and small actions can compound into desired results over time. Focus on one thing and make a promise to yourself to consistently work towards it. Small commitments to yourself, like using a protein in your coffee or buying a water bottle, can serve as reminders and help you keep promises to yourself. Be kind to yourself and don't beat yourself up for not being perfect.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truth-about-dyslexia/message -
Stephen shares key takeaways from a talk by Stephen Bartlett, an entrepreneur and podcast host. Bartlett emphasizes the importance of writing a personal mission statement to guide decision-making. He also challenges the notion that uncertainty is the root of anxiety, suggesting that adversity to loss is often the underlying issue. Bartlett discusses the concept of skill stacking, where individuals combine complementary skills to gain a competitive advantage. He encourages seeking help from others rather than trying to solve problems alone and emphasizes the importance of being successful rather than being right. Lastly, Bartlett suggests that being loved by some and hated by others can be a sign of success.
