118: Personal Responsibility Is Power!

118: Personal Responsibility Is Power!

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Welcome back, listeners!

Today’s episode is a very powerful episode as Glen shares quite a bit about how we let ourselves go at times and what we can do proactively to bring proper in your life. As we grow older we often start asking ourselves can I do better? How have I gotten to this place? I really didn’t plan for this, is this really my life now?

Most of us don’t pursue happiness in the right way. We put our happiness on invaluable items and we spend tons and tons of time on it, but we don’t put that same responsibility on ourselves. We should be making changes to make our lives happy for the long term and not just short term. You and only you have the power to change your future. So why is that we don’t hold ourselves accountable? We always try to blame other people but ourselves.

Over time, these frustrations can lead us to negative state which we don’t want to be in, but subconsciously we end up doing it to ourselves. If you don’t like being overweight, then go to the gym. You don’t like going to the gym, then don’t go, but then don’t hold fast food restaurants accountable for you eating 2 Big Macs, Large Coke and Ice Cream Sundae.

Another way we can relate to is our love-hate relationship with our jobs. If you are there just to get paid but hate the job, then DON’T GO! No one is forcing you to go except for yourself and the only reason why you force yourself to go is that you convince yourself that it’s your manager’s fault that you must be in the office 8-5. People don’t want to take the blame and until you learn to do that, you will never take personal responsibility and move forward in life.

Personal Responsibility is a very broad subject yet very personal. It’s a simple concept that applies to all parts of our lives: work, relationship, mental, physical, friendship, reputation and more. Start take pride in your work, and when you do that when you start becoming more confident, that’s when you will take responsibility of your actions have a better view of yourself and your surroundings. That’s where we want to be at because that’s the moment when you start giving a shit and start GETTING YOUR SHIT TOGETHER

116: Painful Regrets of Inaction

116: Painful Regrets of Inaction

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Today’s episode is all about regret and pain that comes from it. Don’t shy away now; you know you are already thinking of some few regrets of your lifetime. Well, don’t worry, cause you are not alone. Every single person has regretted something in their life or due to their actions that have led to either one of these pain: Pain of Discipline or Pain of Inactions

All of us have the common understanding that decision that we make right now will affect your future and yet we allow to fuck it up every time. Why do we not follow our dreams and regret it later? Think about that once in a lifetime experience that you missed because of some lame excuse you made and now you regret from not doing it. Maybe it’s an experience you missed of staying on campus during your college years. Maybe it’s your first love that you never got courage to ask out. Or maybe it’s the exotic wildlife safari experience that your friends were enjoying while you were working 9 to 5 in your 3 x 3 cubicle. Have you followed your heart and made the decision rather than your ability of inactions, would you have appreciated the event better now?

We will find any excuse to help other follow their dreams but ours. We will break our back and work 9 to 5 or even put in 80 hours a week just to make a buck while your boss makes millions. Bigger question is what are you setting yourself up for? What are the past mistakes that you are seeing the results now? What can you do to change them? Because if past has taught us anything is that no action is still hurting you and will continue to hurt until you let it so.

115: Escapism

115: Escapism

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Welcome back, listeners!

365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds in a year….how much of that are you proactive? How much of that time do you spend on escaping from your dreams, work, life, relationship? It’s an interesting question that isn’t very simple, because in reality escapism can be interfered as multiple ways, but is it good or is it bad? In today’s episode, GYST crew came to the conclusion that positive escapism = Help us Challenge and negative escapism = Kill time.

We often find ways to escape from our real words. It could be reading a book, cleaning the house, working on your car, doing drugs, drinking every night, but the question is why do you do that and how does it affect you?  Is it stress relief or mind-numbing? Is this your lifestyle? Is it affecting other areas of your life? You only have 24 hours in life and if you are using it to kill time, then what are you doing with your life? Often people get into this rhythm of doing something as a stress relief, but you end up repeating so much that it becomes a norm. An action that was once a positive escapism turns to negative escapism and you don’t even realize it! It only takes little changes till it becomes subconsciously permanent and we need to apply the same rule again if we want to turn negative escapism to positive escapism.

Join into today’s episode to find out what GYST crew is doing to turning their negative escapism around and get their SHIT together!

114: Investing In Yourself

114: Investing In Yourself

SHOW DESCRIPTION

It seems such a long time ago when Rohit approached me about joining the GYST crew, but I guess that’s prone to happen when you are so deep into investing in yourself that it feels like an eternity but, it’s been only sometimes.

Over the past year, I have learned an incredible amount of knowledge and improved myself in so many ways that I could have never imagined doing so before. I have learned to manage my time better, prioritize, improve a relationship and just so many other little quirks that you might not notice but it’s ok because no matter how big or small of an effort I am making, it’s a step toward progress.

Investing in yourself doesn’t mean spending money on yourself, but instead finding ways to cherish and celebrate yourself along with taking steps to improving yourself. It’s what you do for yourself along with the people that are around you that matters. Are you bringing joy or are you bringing toxic? If you are bringing toxic, then guess what? It’s ok. That’s why you are here to GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! Find that toxic and make a little change to improve that. It doesn’t matter if it’s fixing the broken and twisted relationship or setting a goal to read 1 book in 6 months. It’s what you do to improve yourself is what matters and no one else can be a judge of that, but yourself.

A lot of people fear changes which come with hand to hand with investing in yourself because that means changing for better but staying true to yourself. Humans have been on this planet for millions of years, we are here now because of the improvement of our past. We wouldn’t be here without the accomplishments of our ancestors. We must apply the same terminology in our personal lives if we want to make a difference and if not for the world, then for our family and closed ones.

It has been an adventure to see all the changes, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. I am glad to be making these changes and applying it to my daily life. Question is, do you want to get your shit together?
