Pouring consciousness into Body: My theory is the proper order of integrating a training habit is first frequency, then volume, then intensity. Even hitting one situp counts as hitting frequency for example for abs. Consistency before intensity. Chunk it down until it's so ridiculously doable it's impossible not to build momentum. I think this only works if I'm actually hyped on keeping on track with my progress - I could have done nothing today, yet I did something, thank you me - I love ya. Body (Frequency): Tuesday - Stretch + Front + Calisthenics + Abs + Cardio Thursday - Stretch + Upper + Abs + Cardio Friday - Stretch + Legs + Abs + Cardio Sunday - Stretch + Back + Calisthenics + Abs + Cardio Stretching x4 Hitting Upper Strength x3 Hitting Cardio x4 Hitting Abs x4 Hitting Legs (Kind of) x4 - More interested in skill progression with Sissy & Pistol squats Body (Volume): Front: Bench Press 3xF Seated Incline Curl 3xF Incline Bench Press 3xF Cross Body Hammer Curl 3xF Shoulder Press 3xF Barbell Bicep Curl 2xF Lateral Raise 3xF Upper: Pullup (Weighted) 3xF Pushups (Weighted) 3xF Chin ups (Weighted) 3xF Dips (Weighted) 3xF Legs: Bulgarian Split Squats 3xF Romanian Deadlift (Barbell) 3xF Sissy squats 3x8 Squat Barbell 3xF Zercher squat (or Hip Thrusts) 3xF Calf Extension (Machine) 3xF Back: Deadlift (Barbell) 3xF Reverse Fly 3xF Lat Pulldown 3xF Skullcrusher 3xF Single Arm Cable Row 3xF Single Arm Triceps Pushdown 3xF Calisthenics: Pullups / Dips 3xF Chinups / Pushups 3xF Body Rows / Pike Pushups 3xF Sissy squats / Assisted Pistol 3xF Failure is a lot easier with training partners also going hard. I want to increase my PR total volume for calisthenics and ORM for everything else. If I don't match the previous volume, do another set/drop set to go at least one rep further. Up the weight when I hit 10 rep max. Abs: Knee raises x30 Side Plank 60s Situps x50 Total volume workout for abs, increase amount per set per week, increase total volume per week. Aiming for 4x25 or more for knee raises & sit-ups, progress knee into leg raises. Not sure about obliques? Add side crunches after the plank? Cardio: 2 minute warmup 5x 30s Sprints Starting with this, Ideally want to get strong at going fast for middle distances, 3km-8km. I can do full sessions in under ninety minutes if I finish sets including recovery time within 2 minutes. One minute to one minute fifteen for the set, one minute to forty five seconds for the rest time. Sexy.

Doing things. I've noticed I spend so much damn time in the planning state - trying to control my life, always feeling like I need to be somewhere sometime, doing something to get somewhere - which is a different state to actually being in flow with doing things - doing things like writing this reflection. I think I thought of re-opening my journal a week ago - probably wrote it at least three times in my physical journal to remember to start - why not actually just start again? Like I am now. It seems I'm attached to having some grand scheme of scheduling where everything fits rather than actually living the ideas I plan for myself most of the time, it's probably been five, six years of this as my predominant state relative to my actual action taking. The amount of hours I've spent planning my life - hundrends, even thousands, relative to the amount of time, effort, spent consistently living my plans, adapting to life via lived experience rather than my conceptualisation of it. Probably down to fear. There is no inner work, emotional challenge, grit and attrition needed to plan a gym session - there is when you're in the gym. I hear a lot about identity in the self-help sphere, who are you voting for? It's not like I'm starting by ground zero by any means when it comes to taking action. But this is me voting for becoming an executor, less planning, far less planning, much more decisiveness. Much more just do the thing and figure it out as I go. All maps are the maps of others - I need to figure out mine by exploring the territory. Expectations has been huge in holding me back and keeping me in this planning state - I basically stopped skateboarding for 4 years because high expectations I could not meet in any single session crept in and tore down my resolve to continue the practice of mastery. I've come to understand this through the contrast of having fun with it again, just randomly picking it up or taking my board to countries I travel to - loving the work, I can love working on tricks, I love hard work in the gym, expectations of outcome and comparison of the training to that fantasy kills the love of the work. I think Ecology is the main benefit of planning - making sure there's harmony on the surface with the life you're living. Not planning eight hours of gym, eight hours of studying and four hours of meditation back to back in the same day would be a basic example. There's more nuance than that of course - what ways in which you pursue outcomes take away from eachother, and which syngergise. I think life feels awfully dry as well in this overly conceptualised way of living - it kills spontaneity, intrigue to a degree, the perception is bland. Fun, play, postivity, inspiration need to come into the moments of practice for it to be sustainable, or worth doing. So... Doing things - I did a thing, time to do another thing.

What's your process for teaching philosophy & self-improvement? What does "gaining traction" look like tangibly? What would your vision for an "ethical business," look like in the perfect sense?

How do you train emotional mastery?

What's your offer?

Hey! My current entrepreneurial process is... ~Ideate problems ~Pick one I think I could deliver a solution for (that's also a win/net-positive for the world - no selling kids vapes BS) ~Pitch it to friends/people in my network I think could benefit from it ~Get feedback & explore why they do/don't like it ~Deliver/move on/repeat Do this daily until I hit something scalable. I'd love feedback, and questions to reflect on how I can refine/better my training on becoming a massive value provider? My ultimate goal is £7,000pm passive income, (that's also a net-positive for the world) which for me = financial freedom & I can sleep at night. Also looking to connect with creators on this part of the journey ~ PM me if you're building this skillset. I'd love to connect.

I regret not trusting myself more. I wish I had gone fully for what I want always, and learned to listen to myself instead of pandering to the expectations and demands of others.

Sick idea. Me aswell!

For those pursuing & that have achieved financial freedom. What is the strategy for conscious investment that actually benefits the world ~ instead of funding warcrimes ~ when you reach 6-7 figures in the bank? Thank you for your insight.

Here's a reframe that's helped me. Simply enjoy socialising with EVERYONE. Forget about pick up. One of the biggest blocks I've had with the frame is the state of neediness I've had come up from trying to/having an expectation for "more to happen," whether a number or sex or whatever. I've found pickup has also conditioned this distinction of hot girl / everyone else, and there's programmed behaviours that come with that perception for me ~ hot girl, i choke, everyone else I've learned to vibe hard Especially if you don't have a basic social foundation of regular socialising/social flow, this will help A LOT. You're just starting from a way better fucking state than whatever blocks you're coming from that you believe you have so you came to learn pick up in the first place. Learning to just fucking enjoy socialising, is a massive win ~ not only does it take pressure of this chasing sex game/frame. But socialising in of itself becomes the win ~ which means you'll do it more, and WANT to do the process of mad approaches, because you're there to vibe and see what happens NOT to get anything. Free is becomes my mind instead of being caught up in a percieved zero sum win/lose game of, oh I did/didn't get laid tonight ~ I'm great/I suck. Too volatile. Learn to enjoy the ride, this time can also be used to become conscious of your social ticks as you do it ~ am I comfortable holding eye contact? Being the center of attention? Leading group dynamics? Being vulnerable or honest with strangers? What do I/how can I most enjoy socialising with everyone? Practically in bar settings for example, if you know you're going to talk to everyone anyway, you also know you'll open whatever girl you noticed but feel too intimated to go and talk straight up to. If you can get fascinated in the whole picture of inner work with socialising, your patterns with women become part of the mission ~ not the whole mission. Takes the pressure off. You have fun. You come off as more attractive, very social/lots of friends/learning deeply about yourself... you get the picture. TL;DR: relax bro.

Meditation might be an easier in than Kriya yoga ~ Christians can have a block (the bible says you can't) practicing other religions, yoga may be percieved as having stronger connotations of having religious roots where meditation has/can be white washed enough by the western lens to be percieved as more dissonant from the religious connotations. If he has this block, try offering meditation.

Sounds cool. Create systems of accountability & iterative visioning to keep inspired with taking daily action. Post some links to your work here too.

Now, now. There's infinite daddies.

No. I'm in a lucky spot to go max self-development for the next two years. I study at university and want to nail my life purpose & a complimentary start up ~ I have a lot of inner work to address with dating & relationships that overlaps with my life purpose hence this being a priority area.

I do. The 3-4 days spent recovering/being in suboptimal consciousness which I want to minimise.
