Join on and learn how your self Notes: Picture the relentless struggle of cavemen, battling daily for survival. Today, everything is handed to us—food, shelter, water. Yet, where is our challenge? What is our adversity? Why do we remain stagnant? What is self-improvement? Practice delayed gratification over instant gratification Story: When I was working at Domino’s at one point, I was constantly listening to self-improvement podcasts and I slowly molded into this concept or idea, I was once someone who would stay up late playing games at night possibly even jacking off but now, its different. I still stay up late, but this time its for my good. Self Improvement is life long, once you’re committed there is no going back because you’re going to realize you could always be doing something better Self Improvement can be categorized by 1-5 Stages First Stage: You have no idea what it is besides motivation or discipline being in your vocab Second Stage: You have an idea of what it is, yet you don’t use it at all only in your 3 am motivation Third Stage: You finally caught glimpse of what self improvement is and it is the start of the exponential growth, you learn Fourth Stage: This is where you feel exponential growth, just like in stage 2 you only did it once a month, now you miss a day once a month or even week Fifth Stage: Lifestyle, the point where when you talk to someone and you see their awful habits you realize like damn is this seriously their life. One issue I’ve always had when on self improvement would be when I fail at a task or even God forbid i jerk off, I would beat myself up, and really be down for a couple of days thinking im out of self improvement. We have to take account that life really a up trajectory until you zoom out, but days could get rough. Let me tell you that getting up beat is the best thing you can do, you will always fail but to know what a high is you must know what a low is. After you reach the Fourth of Fifth Stage after a while, that exponential growth is gone now you will have to switch from Macro tasks to Micro tasks, Macro would be going to the gym , micro would be stretching before you start in the gym. Just as the gym has newb gains so does self improvement but then it gets hard from there but if you’re dedicated enough thats where it goes good.

In this episode, I ask AI to give me 8 reasons why self improvement is bad and shouldn't be done. I also include my own reasons on why it's a difficult journey. Overall I still agree on with the thought of self improvement being the journey of all. Notes: If you’re not growing you’re dying Atomic Habits 1% a day = 365% a day You no longer relate to friends and family members Comparing myself to others Impatience Become consumed with learning 1. **Uncomfortable Self-Reflection:** True self-improvement often requires deep introspection and confronting aspects of oneself that may be uncomfortable or painful.2. **Fear of Change:** Even positive change can be frightening. The fear of the unknown or fear of failure can create resistance to the very improvements that are sought.3. **Loneliness:** The path of self-improvement can be solitary. Friends and family might not always understand or support the changes, leading to a sense of isolation.4. **Setbacks and Failures:** Failure is an inherent part of growth. Not every attempt at self-improvement will succeed, and setbacks can be disheartening.5. **Unrealistic Expectations:** The self-help industry sometimes promotes quick fixes and instant transformations, setting unrealistic expectations. Genuine self-improvement is often a gradual and ongoing process.6. **Comparisons and Insecurities:** Engaging in self-improvement can sometimes exacerbate feelings of inadequacy when comparing oneself to others who seem to have achieved more or progressed faster.7. **Potential for Obsession:** The pursuit of self-improvement can turn into an obsession, leading to an unhealthy focus on flaws and constant striving for unattainable perfection.8. **Loss of Authenticity:** In the quest for improvement, there's a risk of losing one's authentic self. Trying to conform to external ideals may lead to a loss of individuality.9. **Overemphasis on External Validation:** Seeking validation from others for personal growth achievements can create a dependence on external approval, undermining the intrinsic value of self-improvement.10. **Financial Exploitation:** The self-help industry is vast, and not all products or services are genuinely helpful. Some individuals may exploit the desire for improvement for financial gain without delivering substantial benefits.11. **Burnout:** Intense focus on self-improvement without considering the need for balance and self-care can lead to burnout and fatigue.12. **Never-Ending Journey:** The pursuit of self-improvement may not have a definitive endpoint. The constant desire for progress can become exhausting, and the goalposts may keep shifting.
