SHOW DESCRIPTION

Welcome back, listeners! They say that if you study or practice something for 10,000 hours, you are seen as a global expert. With 105 episodes, we are roughly .5% experts in Personal Development. This shows that we don’t know JACK SHIT! But just enough to GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! Just by reading that, you have already made your first impression about this episode and has dictated whether you will listen to this episode or not. If you do, then awesome! If you don’t, then isn’t it’s amazing that just a simple first impression was enough for you to not listen.

You know what’s more interesting? The fact that it takes less than 7 seconds for you to judge someone and make your first impression about them. A study shows that 38% of what makes up the first impression is how you actually sound; 7% of the first impression is the words you actually say; other 55% is based on visual. Think about the one person that stood out today. What was it about them? How soon did you make your assumptions? How much was it because of how represented himself? The most interesting fact out of all is that in addition to making your first impression within 7 seconds, it takes you 7 more times to meet that person to change your first impression about them and I emphasize on First Impression, because during this time you memory is recollecting the first time you saw them and made your impression.

In today’s episode, GYST Crew talks about the importance of First Impression along with how you act or how others act toward you based on first impressions. The impressions that you make mental note of subconsciously and hold on to it for a long time. So, tune into today’s episode to GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!

SHOW DESCRIPTION

One of my favorite moment of my life was when I was about 12 and my parents threw a birthday party for me at a local burger joint. Yes, I know it’s not the conventional place and it was so cold and pouring outside but I didn’t care a single bit because I was so stoked as I planned this and having all my friends to celebrate my birthday. Over the last few years, I have not wanted to celebrate myself and over the years I have built a program for myself where I stopped celebrating myself. After listening to Rohit, Kyle, and Glen, I looked back and realized that moment was the moment when I truly celebrated myself and not only that, but my family and my friends didn’t celebrate my birthday but celebrated me.

As I grew older, I got tangled with my day to day activities which is when I start losing the reason as to why I am here in the first place! I believe we all do that in one or another and we stop taking care of ourselves and we start taking other people for granted. It’s not your fault, it’s just how the society is and how we get mold as we grow up, but you have to remember that you are here because you are valued. You are valued to yourself, to your family, friends, and anyone who you have a physical and emotional connection with. You are here for a reason so why not celebrate yourself?

In today’s episode, GYST group shared how they celebrate themselves. Glen takes his annual bday trip; Rohit takes his annual Memorial Day solo trip; Kyle celebrates himself by treating himself with 100 pairs of shoes and eating dinner alone (don’t worry he doesn’t do that every night cause that would be just….well…sad).

So that just leaves it with one question – How do YOU celebrate yourself and Get Your Shit Together?

SHOW DESCRIPTION

The majority of our programs, habits, and the way we think are created by emotional experiences in our past. Think about a hot stove. When you are a kid and you touch that stove and burn yourself, your brain automatically associates a hot stove with pain. Then as you grow older, you don’t think to yourself, “There is a hot stove. Remember when we were young and touched that stove, it hurt really bad. Therefore, I’m not going to touch it.” Your brain just kicks in and protects you from touching it based on a past emotional experience.

As we grow older, we learn that our brain is a powerful tool and we can reprogram it. Those who master changing their programs are some of the most successful people out there. When you were a kid you were constantly told not to trust strangers. Not only were we told, but we were given an emotional pain to associate with that, such as how strangers would harm us. The repetition of that warning and negative emotional association impacts us as adults as well. That is why the majority of us are nervous around people we don’t know because we don’t trust them yet.

But even though that is an emotional belief that we have, we can see how it holds us back. Those who realize this limitation and work on getting over it, understand the power that the mind has. They will rewire their brain with a new belief, and intellectual belief.

If you have beliefs that are holding you back in life, try to trace them back to when you first developed those beliefs. What happened? Was it an intellectual or emotional response to an experience? Once we understand how our brain works, we can rewrite these self-limiting beliefs and discover an exciting world that lives outside of your comfort zone.

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Today is an interesting topic because we literally help you realize how to Get Your Shit Together! One of the reasons why we are always feeling stuck is because we don’t challenge ourselves much anymore. We take things in our life as it comes in while trying to put in as little effort as possible. Have you ever wondered how your classmate from High School is a millionaire by the age of 25 while you are sitting in your 1 bedroom apartment eating cup of noodles?

In today’s world, everything is given to us and everything has made it easier for us in this day of technology, so it’s not surprising when we start applying the same program to our personal lives. When we start doing this, we stop ourselves from expanding our mind and we fall under the fixed mindset.

Fixed mindset people would make any type of excuses as possible when something challenging presents itself. They are mainly close minded and would generally stay within their lanes. They wouldn’t try to expand their knowledge which results with them saying “I don’t know how to…” more often than they should. They are very self-critical and tend to stick with the knowledge that they have.

On the other hand, Growth mindset people are totally opposite. They are eager to learn and will find a way one way or another to gain that knowledge. They will be the first ones to take a risk and is always ready to learn, because they understand the value of themselves. They are very open minded and will listen to other suggestions. Instead of saying “this is good enough”, they will keep enforcing “how can we make this better?”.

All it takes is little changes in our lives to start shifting from fixed mindset to growth mindset and to take a step forward toward GETTING YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Welcome back to the 101^st episode!

Journaling is a very powerful thing as it provides a sense of credibility as we start acknowledging what we are writing down. For some, it’s to reflect back on what you did on this day in future, others it’s to figure out what they want in future, or what’s been holding them back. Every single individual is going to get a different outcome, but the one thing that everyone in GYST crew felt was that this won’t give you any type of relief. You are not necessarily going to come out of this and feel great. You might even come out more confused, but it will give you a clear direction of what you want from your future.

Before you start writing think about what thoughts are going through your mind? Are you excited? Nervous? Scared? Anxious? Why are you feeling those thoughts? What do you hope to gain out of this journaling exercise? When was the last time you journaled?

Now when you start journaling, pick one of the prompts below that instinctually jumps out at you. Don’t think, don’t feel. There is one that is calling to you, go with that one!

1. Considering my current state of affairs (job, savings, investments, health, friends, relationships), what will my life be like in 5 years if I continue with this trend? How do I feel about that?
2. Something I would love to do, but I’m not sure I can be? How does that make me feel? Who is someone that I can connect with for help?
3. Considering my current state of affairs (job, savings, investments, health, friends, relationships), what advice would I give to myself 10 years ago?
4. This year what I want most is? Why don’t I have this in my life already? What are 5 things I can do to get it?
5. The highest high I have ever been in my life was when…? The lowest low I have ever been in my life was when…? Why did I pick those two moments? Describe them in detail using feelings.
6. A regret that haunts me the most is…? What do you wish you would have done differently? Detail the experience, the feelings it caused then and continues to today.

Now that you’ve finished, how do you feel? What are you thinking? Is this valuable to you?
