As promised, here are a few reads that stayed with me over the years. Not because they were “nice books”. But because each one left a fingerprint on how I think, feel, and move through life. Psycho-Cybernetics (Maxwell Maltz) This one taught me that self image runs everything. If you keep “seeing yourself” as the person who quits, procrastinates, or disappoints, you will keep living that loop. Change the inner picture, and behavior starts to follow. The Untethered Soul (Michael A. Singer) Big reminder: you are not the voice in your head. You are the one who hears it. When I really started practicing that, the mental noise lost a lot of power. The Power of Now (Eckhart Tolle) I read this while traveling in Thailand and I applied it immediately. It was honestly bizarre how quickly you can feel the difference when you stop living inside “later” or “what if” and return to the present. It was one of the first times I experienced peace as something practical, not philosophical. The Expectation Effect (David Robson) This gave me a grounded, research-backed way to understand something we all feel: what you expect shapes what you experience. He uses practical examples and data around placebo and nocebo effects, where positive expectations can improve outcomes and negative expectations can worsen them. Mastery (Robert Greene) This book helped me connect the dots back to childhood. Greene argues your “Life’s Task” often leaves clues early on, in what you were naturally drawn to before the world told you what was “useful.” What hit me most is how many masters went through a real shift after years of apprenticeship. A phase where they stopped copying and started experimenting, and something more intuitive and original switched on. He uses biographies of people like Darwin and Einstein to show that pattern. Reality Transurfing (Vadim Zeland) This one goes deeper for me than “just think positive.” The idea that stuck is reducing “importance.” The more you overcharge a goal with pressure, identity, or desperation, the more you create inner tension and weird resistance. Another concept is “pendulums,” basically dramas or group energies that try to hook your attention. When you stop feeding them with emotional charge, you get your energy back and you move cleaner.

As I am the Queen of Procrastination and Distraction - I have found these books to be a help for me to try and address some of the issues around habit formation, and "just getting started". Both authors have some great podcasts and blogs that I have found to be well grounded, pragmatic and inspiring - now to just implement some of the ideas and processes, and with my new found Internal Code of Consistency - and affirmations, - I aim to get these new habits instilled over the month of January, which will help with @Jim Ebbelaar Blueprint for Transformation - January is all about some new learnings and setting some better foundations

I hope it is ok to share @Jim Ebbelaar (I am not affiliated) Ihave been using FOCUSMATE an app that connect you with other peeps that want to body double. They offer subscriptions and a free access to 3 sessions a week. You set up a time you want to focus, start the call and introduce yourself and your objectives for the session to your double. It can be a good tool. I used it twice: one was great the other one was frustrating as my double just disappeared. So beware sometimes the person connecting with you is not able to actually stay in front of the camera so your double becomes a bit of a ghost… but I suppose you can find some that work for you! Anyone else has recommendations for body doubling strategies?

Ok to remove if its not allowed Jim! I wanna give a tip for ppl who want more stability in their day to day life. I downloaded Finch and it’s free to use. Now I can use microwins when I remember to shower, read a book before bedtime or just tell myself that I’m good enough. You can add me as a friend and we can hold each other accountable. My friendcode: WSY5HTFZT3. I think I have abit of autism as well because I have always needed lists. But when I fail doing the things on the list I have always felt bad about it. I have now used this program 50 days in a row and it is a huge win for me. I’m the generation of the tamagotchis so the little bird feels like a pet for me 😀

I did the day 1 assignments. My open loops are anwsering emails. My brain isn't in the aera of interest of the topic of the mails. That makes it hard to respond. I give my self some adjustment time to react so I can prepare my brain to anwser them. Can some one relate to this? What is your soltution?
