Week 2 - Identify Inflection Points
What moments, if won, give you huge momentum, drop mental stress, and move your mission forward? Getting up with my alarm at the time I intend to. I love the feeling in the morning of having plenty of time to do what I need to. It helps me get out the door quicker for a workout, or get tasks done around the house on time. When I sleep past my alarm I start the day in a panic, and the first thing I need to do is already find somewhere to makeup time.
What environmental set up helps you win your inflection points? Downtime is my enemy. If I have downtime between tasks, I create too many dead zones during the day and do not get enough done. I need to physically keep moving to start the things I need to in order to get everything done. I big win I've found with inflection points is not sitting down when I have a busy day. I'll either eat lunch standing, or raise my standing desk for work stuff. This has helped reduce mindless scrolling, and help me jump to my next task quicker.
Quote from The Game: "I was lucky," then stopped himself, and quietly started again. "No, not lucky," he said. "Lucky's a funny word, eh?" and pausing while I nodded, he continued again, "I was given the chance to prove I was good enough".
This quote resonated with me because I LOVE reframes. I think its because of the self-awareness of how we talk to ourselves, and the willingness to use creativity to verbally speak positivity into our lives. I used to think "speaking it into existence" or "positive self-talk" was overrated. Then I read a book recommended by Peter Attia, "I Don't Want to Talk About It", and it completely changed how I think about self-talk and how it affects me. The basic idea is to evaluate how you talk to yourself, and ask if you would talk to your best friend, or spouse, in the same way. If you don't like how that picture looks, why talk to yourself like that?
