Day 1 — Struggles & Wins (get real)

5 Struggles

I came to the United States when I was around 11 years old from Mexico. I had to essentially adapt to a new world with a new language, new people and a new home.
Mental Illness. Anxiety, ADHD, procrastination and over analyzation of situations is something I have been struggling with since I can remember.
I have been smoking weed since i was 21 for about 10 years now i almost got kicked out of my house and sent to rehab.
I struggle with my confidence due to my weight. I have always been on the heavy side since I can remember.
I'm not good at asking for help.

5 Contrasting Wins:

English Only : Picked up English really fast after being placed in an English only school.
Mental illness: Taking therapy and talking about the stuff that's not so fun has helped me be more open and it also has helped my family understand and take mental health more seriously.
WEED: Learning to incorporate my consumption into my daily routine and consumption with intent is helping me not feel guilty as if I'm failing my parents which allows me to enjoy my consumption more and be more effective and productive in general.
GYM: Incorporating the gym into my daily routine has helped me a ton. I feel like I kinda plateaued right now but I'm at 215lb and my heaviest was 295lb.
Putting my ego to the side is allowing me to be more relaxed?

HOOKS

Most people think weed kills motivation but what if it's the guilt around using it that's killing yours?
Everyone talks about smoking less but it's about smoking with intention—and that's what changed everything for me.
The biggest thing holding me back wasn't weed—it was the story I kept telling myself.

CONCEPT REEL:

I imagine taking an edible of some sort in-front of the camera saying come do chest with me. going inside working out. Taking different angles for doing a voice over about how weed is not really a lazy "drug" how it can actually help a ton while doing things with intention and being productive. After the gym heading to grab some food record that as well Part 2 maybe? Talk how I used to feel guilty or still do sometimes about my consumption due to my family very religious upbringing.
