Right now we all have some type of stresses or things we need to deal with on a regular basis to make sure our life is functioning the way it should. Try to take a bit of pressure of yourself from thinking about that stuff as much and try to make a plan to absolutely kill it this summer or at least make some lasting changes in your life.
For everyone this won't be possible. For some of you, you might need to b e realistic and say "I'm not going to kill it this summer. but if i work on myself, 2-3 summers from now I will absolutely kill it". For those of you who are in that boat, make it your duty and obligation to go hard on whatever it is that you need to do to get you closer to being ready to have the best summer one of these years. For some of you that may be losing weight, for some of you that may be working on social skills and conversational skills.
The point is without a plan, nothing happens.
The way life is, confidence, experiences, gratification, feelings of happiness, all this sh.t is fleeting and wavering.. Even for someone like myself, I can have an amazing weekend like I had this past weekend (dont worry ill spare the details)- and then feel stressed out about other stuff in my life like issues with friends, associates, or things related to our job or business .. Just like anything , we have to make a conscious decision to know how we want to feel, what we want to accomplish, how we want our summer to go. Regardless, you cannot avoid the waves of life. Some days will be extra awesome and positive, and some days will just low points or stressful or not as pleasant.
I know that if i don't shower, shave or dress properly and make sure I look good, my whole day is not going to work the way I want it.. because ive primed myself to always be on point.. that when I'm not on point, I just dont feel myself.. I can barely get myself to leave the house if I'm a mess.
Ultimately, most things are cheap instant gratification, but the healthy kind of gratification comes from doing stuff that is important to you. and that you know is good for your growth potential. SO why not do more of those things? You know it will be more of a lasting gratification. Theres a huge difference in how I feel when I workout and when I miss my workouts. Its such a simple variable but it has such an impact because of the intrinsic value I gave to it.
Most people don't take the actions necessarily or do any planning because their Step #1 is already screwed.. ie: Instead of believing they can have an awesome summer, they tell themselves "whats the point, i dont have this, i cant do that, ".. Its really not hard to enjoy summer. All it takes is being outside for one. Two, looking good and feelin good, 3, maybe enjoyin some good food, some good company,
Summer is where things blossom. Dont allow yourself to be sheltered by your insecurities and fears.. Make a plan to go out and do things you never thought you would do. Start small, don't completely jump off the deep end.. Just 10% out your comfort zone each week and you might notice by the end of August you're like wow, this is the best summer ever.. I can't believe I did all this stuff I never thought I would do before.. and most of it simply because I decided to go outside more often lol
