2025 Rebrand & Glow Up Day 1: Start planning your month ahead · Do You F*cking Mind?

• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Hello, beautiful beans, and welcome to the podcast episode of today.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: So this is the first d yfm og episode of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the year, and we are here to hit the ground running.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I have an episode coming out every day for the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: next ten days by the weekend, so it'll be like
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Monday to Friday this weekend, Monday to Friday next weekend.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: To get your shit in order. I want you to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: feel like you have your life in order. Now I
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: say I've said this a thousand times, I'm gonna fucking
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: say it again. You can do this at any time, anytime.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: You can hit that reset button, not just on a Monday,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: not just in January. You can do it on a
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Wednesday in August. And it doesn't even have to be
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in the morning. You can decide to turn things around
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and start something new or stop doing something at three
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: pm at eleven am. Okay. But the reason why I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: jump on the New Year's bandwagon is because of this
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: concept of collective collective effor vescence, if you want to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: call it. It's this feeling that you get when more
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: people are doing the same thing at the same time.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: There's like an energy around and I believe it does
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: make it a little bit more easier. It's kind of
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: like running, right, If I run alone, I can do it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: If I run in like a group run, a fun run,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a half marathon, it shaves like twenty percent off the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: effort just for running around people. The psychological factor of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: doing things in people, with people in a group or
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: alongside at the same time, even if you don't even
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: know them, even if you're not directly interacting with them,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I think it makes it easier. Is it the be
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: all end all? Are they doing it for you? Are
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you leaning on them? No? But I think that why
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: not maximize this time of January? Because I know there's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of like life coaches and motivational coaches and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: life strategists that are like, you know, this New Year's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Eve is ridiculous. Whatever I disagree, I think take what
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you can get. Let's fucking work with any tool that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: is coming our way. So if people are going to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: be more motivated on in January, use that to your advantage.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: But again, like I said, you can also do this
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: at any fucking time of the year. So for the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: next ten days, I want to have a little different
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: topic every day for ten days. And there's also a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of tools that I have that you can
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: be using to your like to the maximum. Most of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: these tools are free. My podcast, I can refer back
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to so many other episodes I've got, you know, nearly
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: four hundred episodes worth of stuff that you can refer
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: back to free of charge. But I am also going
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to encourage you to go ahead and buy my audio book,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: which is Thirty Days to Master Your Mindset. Well, the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: book is called How to Chase Change, but thirty Days
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to Master your Mindset, And there you're going to find
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: just what I like to consider sensational tools for you
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to really create some change. So whether you want to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: buy the book, whether you just want to do it
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: for free, it doesn't matter. You're gonna get heaps of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: fucking resources over the next ten days and beyond sense Sense. Now,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: for the first episode of today, we are talking about
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: basically setting yourself up for the month slash year ahead.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: But I want you to think there's gonna be some
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: key things that you're going to put into practice to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: really get your head straight. Get your head right, okay,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm not it doesn't have to be one hundred
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: percent right. We're all a little bit tapped to some degree,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: but we're getting it a little bit righter than normal. Okay,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have a little sip of my coffee,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: just enjoy. Hmm. Also, I remember saying that when I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: got back from you, I'm now better than everyone else
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: because I'm on piccolos and I don't drink cappucinas anymore.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: That died that Dada and the ass, and I've come
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: back to the original fat cow cap love it so much.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I'll never abandon you again until I'm in Europe because
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I don't like cappuchinas and Europe I prefer piccolos anyway.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: So let's now grab a pen and paper. This episode
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is not going to go on forever if this is
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a short and sweet episode. So I want you to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: grab a pen and paper, if you can get either
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a word document or a page's document or a little
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: notebook that you're going to use over the next ten days,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: because there's a lot of shit that I want you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: jotting down, and I want you to get involved. Okay,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: don't just listen passively. I want you to be active
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: about change in your life. If you want change, You've
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: come to the fucking right place. The first thing you're
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: going to do is you're going to write down over
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the next month what will you commit to? What are
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you going to commit to? And when we're talking about commitments,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: less is more until you prove it to yourself. Okay.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I would rather you go small and prove something to yourself,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: then go really big but unclear and not believing in
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: yourself and throwing it out there because you know you've
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: been telling you know, reach for the stars and dream big,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: which I'm all for, but you know, doing it properly,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and then not actually following through and then thinking that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: your word weighs nothing. I want your word to weigh
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a thousand kilos by the end of the year. So
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: what are we going to commit to this month that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: we're actually going to commit to? Okay? So if that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: means that you need to temporarily lower the bar just
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to prove that you can fucking follow through and that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you have followed through lower the bar, you are much like,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: much more likely to achieve your goal by having steps
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to get there instead of having this rung that's super
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: high and you're jumping, failing, jumping, failing, jumping, failing. That's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: why most of us don't ever get to where we
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: want to go because we are not strategic with how
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: we set our goals and bigger picture. I think you
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: probably should be setting your goals much higher than you
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: give yourself credit for, but on a day to day,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: on a month to month basis, when you're not used
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to following through with your word and doing what you say,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you need to bring it right down. I don't think
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you should be reaching for the big goals until you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: can prove to yourself that you do the little things
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: for yourself, because the big is found in the lidtle. Okay,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: So while I'm your number one advocate for you to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: do big things, let's work. Let's get the nuts and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: bolts down pat then you can go all fucking out.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: So what are you committing to over the next thirty
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: days this month in January? What are you going to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: commit to? I want you to pick a couple of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: things ideally, and if you want, you can have those
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: things in different realms. So one can be something with
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: your career, something with your physical health, something with your
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: mental health, something with your relationships, and something with your
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: person like your personal your relationship with yourself, which could
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: be self care, it could be a hobby, which is
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: also a form of self care. But think of one
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: little thing. So I'll give you an example, relationships. I'm
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: going to commit to speaking to somebody on the phone
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: X amount of times a week. So for some people
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: who never make a phone call, who never really connect
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: even to the people that they miss, you could say
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: once a week. I've never even done it. I'm just
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: going to commit to once a week. And for someone
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: who's like, no, no, I'm open to that, I love it.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It's going to be every day. You pick a number
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that's genuinely realistic but that you will commit to and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: follow through. That's so relationships. That's an example. The next
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: one will be you know, something for yourself, self care
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: or whatever. So I'm going to commit to actually journaling
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: every single day, even if it's for five minutes, I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: don't care. I'm just going to you know, write down journal,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: or I'm going to use Alexus's journal, the Brain Journal
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and reflect back and you know on my day. Or
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to once a week go and like I'm
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: going to book into that fucking pottery class and I'm
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: actually going to do it. Or I'm going to pick
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: up that guitar that's building dust and I'm going to
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: be practicing twice a week. But something that's for you,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: just for you, no one else, not for income, not
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: for anything. You're doing something for you. Then, career wise,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: what's just one change you'd like to make in your career?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't have to be money related. It could
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: be I would like to have a more enjoyable commute
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to work instead of driving, Why don't I do public
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: transports so that way I can start like reading or
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. I don't care, but something related to work.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And then you want to do something that's related to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: your physical health and your mental health. Now mind you,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I've just bunched. I've just spat out a bunch of categories.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: If you're someone that's like Alexis Kunt, you just told
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: me to lower the rung, and now you're telling me
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to do a thousand things, then just pick the one
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that's most important and stick to one. So if that
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: is I'd never do anything for myself, I'm going to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: do once a week working on a hobby just for me,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Then do it. But it's going to be commitment. I
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: want you to write it fucking down. So what are
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you committing to less is more? Let's just get the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: ball rolling on following through with our word to our selves.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: The next thing that I want you to make clear is,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: here's a challenge for you. Unless someone is listening to
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: this podcast episode alongside you, or you listen to it
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: as friends, because I've got a lot of people that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: tell me. Ever, you know, we listen to your podcast
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and then we debrief. So unless it's that situation where
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you're all in the same pool, I don't want you
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: going and announcing to people I'm committing this. I'm committing that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: You are making the commitment to yourself, and you're only
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: allowed to tell other people after the fact after it's
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: been a month. You know what, a month ago I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: said I was going to do this, and I've actually
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: followed through. It's been a month and I've followed through,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: then you can announce it. You are not allowed to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: announce it prior unless you are in a group of
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: people that are actually going on this journey together. Okay,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and there is a reason for that. It has been
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: shown in I'd love to pull up the study actually
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to be honest, but the more you talk to other
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: people about your goals and what you're going to do.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Prior to beginning, the less likely you are to go
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and do that thing. And the reason for that is
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you get all the excitement, you get, all the congratulations
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you get although oh my god, that's so good, and
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you feel really you feel fulfilled already before having done it,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: before it's done, and then it comes to the crunch
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and then you actually have to do it, and then
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you're like, I didn't actually really want to do that.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not actually that motivated. I don't that was I
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: should have chosen something different. I don't know all of it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And then you just think, well, fuck, now I've just
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: told everyone and now I'm not going to do it
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: because I don't want to. Okay, So you're only going
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to tell them after the fact, and it makes you
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: more likely to want to do it because you want
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to share. Now. The next thing that I want you
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to write down is what did I love about last
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: year that I'm committed to bringing into this next month,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: if not the whole year. What did I love? What
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: did I do once or twice that I want to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: do way more than once or twice. You know, what
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: did I do? Maybe I started not living to work,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: but working to live, and my life really like was
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: like I'd get home from work and then the fun
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: began and maybe I was more present, maybe I had
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: more activities, maybe whatever it is. I want you to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: pick some key things from last year that you started
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: doing that you think, wow, that I'm really bringing that
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: into this year. And if you have nothing, then what's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: something that inspired you last year that you thought I'd
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: love to start doing that that you can now bring
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: into this year being like I'd love to do it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Let's give it a go, let's actually try it, so
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: write it down. It can be one thing, it can
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: be multiple, But what are you going to bring in?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And then second to that, what am I not carrying across?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Dead weight baggage? We're not paying extra luggage here, We're
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: not doing that. We're going to leave it in the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: past on the fucking lost luggage fucking carousel. So what
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: we're going to do is we're going to look at
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: what we're not bringing across to this year. So that's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: going to be shit like doom scrolling, you know, not
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: having a set time to wake up in the morning
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: when I'm frantic and whatever, I'm just giving examples. You
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: can wake up at whatever time you want, but I'm
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: just examples from my life. You know, I want to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: have I'm not going to be speaking to people on
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the phone for longer that I you know, because maybe
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you're someone that feels really guilty hanging up on someone
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and then you end up being on a phone call
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: for so much longer and it throws your entire timetable
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: left the day off because you just you know, I'm
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: going to be able to like end a call earlier.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And if I don't think I'm going to be able
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to end that call, then I'm going to be selective
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: of when I take a call. Things like that. Okay, So,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: like you're where you're backing yourself, where you're protecting your energy,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: where you're protecting your space, and all of the above.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: So what will I bring in? What's really exciting that
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I want to bring across? What won't I be across?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: And then the last thing that I want you to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: write down, the last thing you're going to focus on
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: for today's episode is what do you think would be
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the most important thing to happen this month that would
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: make you feel really fulfilled once it happens or if
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it were to happen, and I want it to be
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: something that is within your control completely, because there's many
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: things that would make us feel really, really great. Let's
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: say that you're someone who's looking for the perfect partner.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: You'd be like, well, I'd love to fall then love
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: this month, or I'd love to you know, win this thing,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: or I'd love So there's many things that you could desire,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: but we're not referring to that. We're talking about things
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that are within your control with the resources you currently have.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: That you think if I actually followed through with this thing,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: If I actually did this thing, what would I feel
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: like at the end of the month. What would it
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: feel like for me looking back, being like I finally
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: followed through with that, I finally stopped vaping, I finally
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: started going for those jogs, I finally started reading a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: book instead of doom scrolling. I finally fill in the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: blank what would it look like? So I want you
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: to not only name the thing, because that's number one,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: name it, but then I want you to put yourself
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: in the head space of you at the end of
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the month or in a month, because this is now
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the middle of the month already, so maybe in a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: month's time mid feb. And imagine the feeling of looking
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: back and you are imagining yourself in your future self shoes,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: knowing that that thing has been done, that you did it,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you completed it, you resisted that thing, You overcame that thing,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you finished this thing, you started this thing, you put
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: yourself out of whatever. What does that feel like? Close
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: your eyes, picture it, picture it? What does it feel like?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: What does it taste like, smell like, sound like? We
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: get really immerse yourself in that feeling, because when you
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: feel it, it becomes more realistic. And when something becomes realistic,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you are more likely to go ahead and action that
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: thing because it is believable to you. Okay, it doesn't
• 14:40
