I see the all-or-nothing mentality cycle with movement and exercise. The body we have is the one we've got and movement is vital for feeling balanced, energized, and creative.Take time throughout the day to check in with your body and listen to what it is telling you. These qualities can serve you well, and then pay attention to the messages your body tells you about your needs and wants.Cultivate curiosity. You can apply this anywhere and you likely won't be bored. And if you are bored, stay curious about the feeling!Surround yourself with people you love and who accept you unconditionally. This is vital as we are such goal-oriented people, especially as professionals and hardworking people in New York City. If you get into the striving-to-improve mentality, you can forget about the person on the way to their goals. Sometimes you need the people who love you to remind you how great you are.Don't give up on yourself and don't think you need to go it alone: keep working on your own personal development even through challenging and scary times. Find a therapist or mentor to help you along your way as we all need support.We have lost the art of curiosity and presence while being with other people. From this communication comes empathy, understanding, and connection — the opposite of loneliness and isolation. I would start a movement designed to build connection between people

FIXED MINDSET”  “Carol Dweck in her 2006 book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.”Defined: Someone with a growth mindset views intelligence, abilities, and talents as learnable and capable of improvement through effort. On the other hand, someone with a fixed mindset views those same traits as inherently stable and unchangeable over time.Why We need a growth mindset…. It leads to Resilience—the capacity to recover from and move through difficult situationsExample of Fixed Mindset: My historic approach to Math…..until I met….CalculusExample if Growth:  Watching the local Orchestra Practice, Cooking (Yes, I'm a bit critical of myself), My athletic performances  When I practice guitar / singing, I choose pieces that are just outside of my comfort zone.  This forces me into a growth mindset.One key tip towards implementing:  Use the Phrase“Yet” more often.  E.g. I don't speak Spanish….YET, vs I Can't speak Spanish.How has the podcast been an experiment in this?“Releasing B+ content” on Time!!I want massive amounts of editing and musical transitions….this….takes….tons… of time.Why you need to write it down!!  Little Secret:  You do NOT need to find the answer.  You only need to properly format the question in a way that appeals to your curiosity.  This will promote subconscious reflection which can often lead to solutions.Check out Carol's ted talk Here's a link to the Book

Approaching strangers.  Start w/sales team, work your way to strangers, Trusting yourself to create a good outcomeFear Chasing (choose to never get on a plane, or choose to pursue flying)Commitment - Relationship vs committed relationshipConsistency - A non- negotiable for growthSpotty 100% days is not as good as Consistent 80% daysHe has been focusing on his sleepI rant about the Oura Ring feedback on sleepKevin tracks 20 habits a dayHe started with 5 habitsReverse engineer your habits the finish line in mindKevin's partner / mentor (Alan) did this for himCommunity - Who you surround yourself with.  It's difficult to grow in toxic soilAre the people in my life the best from my past or the best for my future.

When my son is sick.I rant on happiness vs fulfillmentWith fulfillment, its easier to transcend sufferingStart by looking for meaningKevin - Be willing to risk suffering in order to growSuffering can be a drip or a wave.  How can you leverage suffering to best service your goals?Know why it's important to you“If you write a goal, make certain you outline what you are willing to give up in order to get it”
