So the big question is this, how do young men like us who didn't listen to society,
who are on our own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a
better tomorrow? That is the question in this show will give you the answers.
My name is James Radzinski and welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show.
Welcome back everyone. So this morning I told my parents about my trip to Florida.
Now I promised my mom that I wouldn't speak about them on the podcast so I
just want to say that things are going forward. Things are moving forward and
this today I feel is a turning point. Two things can come out of it. Either
either I go down a bad route and I don't achieve my goals or I keep moving
forward and I do achieve my goals. And this quote popped up in my mind from
Reality Transurfing today and it's that nobody can stop you except for yourself
from achieving your goals. Now I may have butchered that quote but that's the gist.
You're the only one who can prevent yourself from achieving your goals.
No one else can prevent you. So if I interpret today as good then I can move
towards my goals but if I interpret it as bad then that will be how it plays out.
So I went to the gym and then got a good lift in and went on the sun deck and
started tanning which I don't normally do at the gym but I just needed the
extra meditation time the extra sun time and it was a very nice day outside so I
just sat in the sun and bathed for a while and that definitely helped clear
my mind. And then I saw one of my friends who graduated last year who I
didn't think I would see ever again and who I probably won't see ever again and
it just reminded me that it just reminded me to be happy because that was a
very nice interaction that I had with one of my friends today. Let me get some
water.
So I made an executive decision today and I've been talking over the past couple
weeks about how I'm studying two books at the same time. Now today I realized
that I am not going to be studying two books at the same time. I'm cutting out
expert secrets and solely focusing on reality transfer because I feel like I'm
not getting the most out of each book. I'm kind of just dividing my attention
and dividing my focus or memory amongst the two different books and it's just
worse off for overall. So I'm only focusing on trans surfing right now and
then once I'm done with that I will focus on expert. And the reason why I chose
trans surfing over expert secrets is because trans surfing is more of a
holistic success route. Expert secrets is how to have success through becoming
an expert online and marketing and storytelling. But trans surfing is more
of a general life. It's a worldview. And I would just if I had to choose one book
to be a master of I would choose reality trans surfing. So yesterday once I was
done recording that podcast I listened back and I realized that my speaking
sounds very anxious. And I gasp a lot like I and I and I talk and then I and
then I like breathe in a lot. So I'm trying to stay conscious of that because
it kind of is really annoying to listen to and it hinders your viewing
experience your listening experience. So that's what I'm trying to be conscious of.
I'm not really sure if I should breathe through my nose or breathe away from the
mic. I'm not sure. I'll figure it out while I go. But back to trans surfing. I
there's one thing that my friend talked about. He's reading one of Vadim
Zellin's other books about trans surfing. And he said that if you can be
present for 20 minutes it'll change your life. That's what my friend said Vadim
Zellin said. And I believe that because there's a lot of times where you're not
present and you're not awake and you make mistakes and you do things that you
regret and you do things you shouldn't have done or wouldn't have done if you
were sober in the mind. And so that's that's what I'm really focusing on lately.
And I just realized that I haven't asked myself is this real in a while.
Yes I am awake right now. But that's that's the thing. I was asleep just then
while I was speaking. Now I'm awake. And it just the cycle repeats. I'm not sure
how long I can stay awake for. But it's definitely not 20 minutes. And I'm just
that's just what I'm practicing. I'm just practicing trying to stay awake more
often. And I'm not even sure if there's a technique or a practice method to do it.
I'm kind of just brute forcing it and just reminding myself to stay awake
every single time I catch myself when I'm asleep. So tomorrow is Monday and I have
school tomorrow. And in my gym class we are in a kayaking unit. So we're basically
kayaking in the pool. Which is very fun. A lot of people don't like that unit but
I like it's my favorite. And honestly just moving forward today has been today
was a tough day. And I'm not really sure. It's just one of those days where it's
a turning point. And I need to today is the day where I need to really focus on
transfer. If you and hone in on my presence stay awake. Because today is a
turning point for sure. I can either go down to a negative lifeline or go up. And
it's really my choice. No one else can choose for me. You get what you choose in
life. So I'm working towards I'm choosing. It's tough because you are supposed to
just choose. But when you're in it it's a lot harder than it seems when you're out
of it. Right now I'm in the heat of it. The heat of the day the heat of the
moment. In a turning point. And it's a lot harder to choose my destiny than it
was yesterday or this morning. And I just have to look for the positive. I just
remembered look for the positive. So what's a positive thing right now. Well
a positive thing is I got a lot of sun today. So I got more tan. I probably got
like four hours of sun at least today. And then another thing is I have a brand
new microphone which sounds amazing for my podcasting. So I'm very grateful for
that. My dad gave it to me for absolutely free to borrow indefinitely until
someone needs it. Another thing is that I have a water bottle that keeps the water
cold right next to me. And speaking of which I'm gonna drink some of it.
Already just by describing three things that I'm happy about I already feel a lot
better. So I'm gonna keep it going. Well it's really hot out today. It's probably
like 90 degrees out. And I was sweating on the bike ride home. And then I got in
in the house and it was nice and cool. So the AC is on. I'm very happy about that
too. That's very... Let's go. That's a that's a nice thing. Another thing. What
else am I grateful for? I'm grateful that I have nice clothes. My mom buys nice
clothes for me. And I'm very grateful for my parents because they're providing for
me. I promised my mom I wouldn't talk about her but I'm sure she won't mind
this. I'm very grateful for everything my parents do for me.
They are really just looking out for the best of me. And they're just trying to
get me... They're just looking out for the best of me. That's very comforting to
think about. It's very comforting to lie on. So that exercise actually worked a lot.
I actually feel a lot better now. I think I'm gonna write that down right now
because every time I'm mad or in a bad mood, remember which of this exercise be.
I don't want to say like gratefulness because I used to do gratefulness
exercises and they never really worked. But for some reason today's worked
because I just looked for objects that I was happy about. The happiness. The
happiness technique. The happiness practice. Which I call it. The happiness ritual.
I like that. The happiness ritual. I'm gonna write that down and put it on my desk.
So I always remember it just in case I am down. The happiness ritual.
Alright, I wrote that down. I want to keep doing that. That was nice. So I'm happy that I was
still hot even though I got into that air-conditioned house and I took off my
shirt to make it even cooler. And now I feel cool. I feel perfect temperature
right now. So that makes me feel good. Another thing I'm happy about is I'm on
episode 32 on my podcast and I'm very proud but pride is not great. I'm very
happy with what I've done so far. I'm very happy with my progress and how I've
gotten through 32 episodes on my podcast. That is a very nice feeling. I'm happy
that things are moving forward and I'm in a lot better position than I was a
month ago and I'm a lot better positioned now than I was a year ago. And
things are just getting better every single day. I'm very grateful for that.
I'm very grateful that I'm on... I'm learning about reality
transurfing and the more and more I practice the techniques, the more and
more I learn about it, just the better life gets. And that's... I'm so grateful
that I discovered that book. And the way I discovered it was actually... it's
surprising. So when I was first getting into reading, I was still watching YouTube
shorts, which is basically TikTok but just on YouTube. And I was trying to... I
don't remember what I was doing that day, but I was on the hunt and the look
out for new books to read. I was always looking for new books to read. And I was
just watching YouTube shorts one day and there's this guy named Iman Gatzi who
popped up who I'd seen his videos before but not too much. And then he suggested...
he kind of just said casually, oh yeah, I read that book when I was 17 and I don't
even remember like how that video went, but he pretty much just said he read that
book when he was 17. And so I was like, oh, I'll try it out. I'll pick it up. And I
remember thinking that he just suggested that book, but not really. He just casually
said it in a conversation and I saw the picture and I was like, oh, I'll go check
it out on Amazon because I need another book soon. And I remember typing in
Reality Transurfing into the search bar on Amazon and I remember seeing the price
tag and it was $50. And I was shocked because I was kind of like there's no way
I'm buying this. There's no way I'm paying $50 for a book. But then
something kind of just clicked in my head and I just bought it anyways. And
then it came and I saw there was like 750 pages. I was like, oh my gosh, this is a
big book. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. So I read it. I read
maybe the first 200 pages and then I got distracted. I got bored. I didn't see the
gold that I was reading. So I looked for a new books to read and I went back on
Iman Gazi because the benefits that I got from the first 200 pages of the book
were a lot and I was a lot better off that I read that. But I kind of
just dismissed the rest of the book and I was like, oh, I already got the gist. And
then I went back to Iman Gazi and I saw another short video that he posted.
And it was three books that he recommends and it was Meditations by Marcus Aurelius,
The Way of the Superior Man by David Ida and Atomic Habits by James Clear, I think.
I didn't read Atomic Habits. But I bought The Way of the Superior Man and
Meditations and then I started reading those very good books. I didn't finish
Meditations all the way through. It was just kind of my brain wasn't smart
enough to interpret all that stuff. So I kind of just got to book four and then
stopped reading because I just didn't get value out of it at that time. I got more
value out of people telling me what to do and what to think. And so then after
that I was, I just kind of stopped. I was planning on going back to Transurfing
right after but then I went on to a different book. And then my friend, I
just met my friend Franklin, like for real because we had known each other
before but we didn't know that each other were on self-improvement. And so I just
met him basically and we both found out that we were on self-improvement and he
was wondering what the next book that he should read. And so he looked at my
reading list and I showed him and then he was like, oh, Reality Transurfing? That's
interesting. I've never heard of that. And I was like oh yeah it's, it's alright. And
he was like would you recommend that to be the next book? And I was like mmm I'm
not sure. And then I said basically, I basically said no. So then we both went on
with our days and then the next day I was thinking about that. And then I went
back to Transurfing and I realized how beneficial that was and how that is
literally the next, that is the most important book ever. And so I was like, I
told him yeah definitely get Reality Transurfing. And so he was hesitant on the
price as well. But he ended up buying it. He bought the hardcover so he spent like
$30 more than I did. And then when I told him to read it, it inspired me to go
back and reread, just finish reading it. So I went, at the end of every chapter
there's chapter summaries. So I reread all the chapter summaries of the pages
that I already read. And then I got to the, got back to where I was and then
just finished the book from there. And mind you, we were both reading it very
fast. So we both wanted to get through that book quick so we could get to the
next book. And we were doing like 50 pages a day, which is a crazy amount. It's a
lot. Especially on that book, especially because when the pages are big, words are
small. And you, you have to think a lot when you're reading that stuff. So we were
reading 50 pages a day and when you do something like that, pretty much all of
the information just goes right through your head and you forget about it. But we
got some vague concepts out of it. And then we both finished reading it and we
were just, we just went on to the next book. And then after a little bit of this,
maybe a month, we realized that Transurfing is the most important book. We
realized again that Transurfing was the most important book. And so then we went
back to it. We started rereading it. And then this time, instead of reading 50
pages a day, we started studying it and not caring about the amount of page
numbers. And that was a big game changer for us. We actually started
understanding it and linking it to things. And we started conjecturing our
own hypothesises. And we just made a lot of connections and progress in our
Transurfing journey. And we're only on page maybe 200 now. I'm on, he just started
intention and I just finished intention, which is maybe chapter seven, I want to
say. It's not out of like 15 chapters. I think it's chapter four or five. I don't
know. It doesn't matter. We're pretty much in the first third of the book still.
Maybe we're just getting into the second third. And so we're not even that far in.
We just are reading the beginning so far and it's already changed so much. It's
changed the game for us. And I also wanted to read expert secrets as well. So I
decided instead of rushing through Transurfing, I would just read them both
at the same time. Transurfing in the morning, expert at night. And then after
maybe one or two weeks of that, it was not good. It was just, I realized that it's
not efficient. I think I actually did it for more than two weeks. I did it for 19
days actually. And it's just not as efficient. So I'm solely focusing on
Transurfing. And every single time I get impatient, I just have to remind myself to
focus on Transurfing. Transurfing is the key. I'm gonna get some water. So last
push day, my last push day, around three days ago, maybe four days ago, I didn't
push my chest. I didn't lift my chest that much. And now I'm getting antsy
because tomorrow is my next push day. And I'm lifting my chest hard tomorrow. Do you
guys ever get like that where you kind of slack off one week and then the next
week you can't stop thinking about it. So then you go hard the next week. Because
that's what I'm doing right now. I kind of feel my energies, my energy levels
drop again. And it reminds me of, well, I should be, I was gonna originally do the
happiness ritual again right now. But I just thought of something. And I remember
reading, I've read two books on breathing, the oxygen advantage and breath, the new
science of a lost art. And I know that my breathing is not optimal. And I was, I
saw a email from this company called herbal, some, some herb company, I forgot, I
forgot what they're called. But I bought pine pollen from them. And then I gave them
my email. So they've been emailing me. And I keep reading the emails because
they're very good at email marketing. So it's good material to study. And they sent
an email today that I assume someone paid to send that email, because it's not
their usual content. So they sent an email about breathing. And it reminded me of,
they basically told us to take a test, which they didn't call it this, but I
remember reading about it in the oxygen advantage, which is called the bolt test
to test your bolt score. And it's basically where you breathe normal in and
then breathe out normally. And just how you normally breathe. And then on the
exhale, you hold your breath. So you don't, you don't breathe back in. And then you
count how long it takes for your body to want to breathe again for your next
desire to breathe. And you shouldn't be holding it so long that you're
convulsing, you should hold it until you need your next breath. So what that means
is, let's say you do it in out and then hold. And then by the time you need your
next breath, you should be able to breathe back in at the same rate that you
were breathing normally. If that makes sense. And pretty much what that test
does is it checks to see how healthy your breathing is, how optimal or
efficient your breathing is. Now, when I took that test the first time, when I was
reading the oxygen advantage and mind you, the oxygen advantage was my first
book that I've ever read that was self improvement. And the first time I got it,
I think my score was five, like a five seconds. And reading the bolt score, he
said that he said that the healthy what the healthy person should be at was way
higher than five. And I'll tell you the time in a second, I just want to say
something real quick. And so I started doing exercises to increase my score. And
and then I kind of just stopped. And then yesterday, I got an email from that herbal
empire or herbal medicine, I don't even know some that company I was talking about
that I bought my pine pollen from. And it was basically a guy promoting his
webinar that was teaching how to breathe properly. So I signed up for the webinar.
And it's on Thursday at like 430. So who knows if I'll get on it. If I do, I'll
watch some of it, but not till 730 when it ends. Or no, I think it ends at seven.
I don't even know. But it reminded me that when I read that email, they were telling
you to do the bolt score. So I did it again. And today my or yesterday, my bolt score
was seven seconds. So two seconds improvement. After a whole year. And you know what they
said the what your healthy time should be for the average healthy person should be
at least 40 seconds. So I got seven seconds. And it should be at least 40
seconds. Now I'm pretty sure I read in the pretty sure I read a similar thing in
the oxygen advantage. It was either 40 seconds or 60 seconds. So it just reminded
me that my breathing is not good. And today I was thinking about it a lot. A lot
throughout the day. It was popping in my head. And breathing oxygen oxygen is our
most used elements or yeah, oxygen is our most consumed element. We need to breathe.
We can't go like one minute without or we can't go like 10 minutes without
oxygen. And I'm focusing on food and sleep and water a lot. But I'm neglecting
oxygen water we can go like a week without water. Oxygen we can't even go. We
can't even go 15 minutes without oxygen. Most people I'm talking about most
people. And food we can go like two weeks without food. So that just goes to show
how how much if oxygen is our most used element it should be our most efficient
and it should be our priority for figuring out how to make optimal because
I'm spent I'm spending a lot of time making my water intake optimal making my
food intake optimal. But I'm neglecting oxygen which is the number one most of
valuable or the most consumed element. Consumed nutrient. I don't even know if
it's nutrient. But do you guys get what I'm saying? I'm saying that we're breathing
24-7 but we're only drinking water like eight times a day nine times a day. We're
only eating like three four times a day. But we're breathing 24-7 constantly
non-stop. And so I'm kind of on the edge of whether I should figure out how to
breathe properly and focus on it or not. And I the pros and cons I was thinking I
need to focus on business. But then I realized that this will actually help me
if I can figure out how to breathe properly and then always just every time
I am conscious breathe that way. Then that will actually help me move towards
my goals because the more conscious you are the more what's the word. Basically
the more purpose you have and more optimal the more efficiently you're
living I guess. Being present is required for the transurfing practice.
And so if I simply just spent maybe an hour watching that video and getting
figuring out how you are supposed to breathe normally just throughout the day
and then I just focus on breathing like that every single time I'm conscious. Then
it'll be killing two birds with one stone. I'll be getting conscious more but
I'll also be fixing my breath. And I really can't see a downside to this but I'll
decide. I want to talk to you guys about the neck exercise. So there's this neck
exercise that my friend who's a bodybuilder 30 years old he told me in
Franklin about. I've talked about it on this episode before. It's basically where
you do like curls with your neck. If you guys ever done the bridge it's a stretch
kind of thing. It's where you hold yourself up with your hands and your
leg and your feet and you bend your back and then you just bridge make a bridge
with your body. It's kind of like a gymnastics move. I used to do it all the
time in gymnastics when I did it when I was really young. But you're
supposed to with this neck exercise basically you do the bridge but you
don't hold yourself up with your hands you hold yourself up with your neck. And
then you like move your neck up and then down and that's like one rep.
And so I'm able to do 10 reps maybe. Yeah around 10 reps. And that guy Alex
he's been doing it for quite some time and he's able to do 53 sets of 50 reps
holding a 10 pound medicine ball. So he is definitely quite ahead of us. And he
said we should be able to get to 30 reps before we add a variation to the neck
exercise. So basically the variation is instead of moving your head up and down
you move it side to side. And I tried to do that this morning but my neck was too
weak and I kinked my neck and it like cracked. But I stretched it immediately
and it was fine throughout the day. It's a little sore but it's okay for the most
part. So if you want a a progressional events for that neck exercise do the
static hold until you're strong enough to do reps. And then do reps. And in the
beginning I had to do a static hold but I also had to hold myself up with my arms.
So I had to use less weight than my full body weight because I was helping
myself with the arms. And then I was able to do a static without my arms and then
I was able to do reps. And that's where I'm at right now. I'm able to do 10 reps.
And I've been doing this for maybe a week. And the next step is to get to 30 reps.
And then once you get to 30 reps add the variation where you go up and then you
do like a side to side. I don't really know exactly how to do it once I get to
30 reps I'll have to ask him in person and figure out how to do it. But and then
once you get to that I'm pretty sure you just focus on that again and then get to
30 reps with that. And then you add a medicine ball somewhere in there. You
like hold on to a weight. It doesn't have to be a medicine ball just like hold on
to a weight 10 pounds. And he does 150 reps so that's great. That's a lot. I
don't think he does it every day. I think he does it every two days maybe. So
one day on two days off. But I've been doing it every day because I'm able to
recover pretty quick. So I might as well do it every day. I'm gonna do the
happiness ritual again. Now I'm I'm really happy that
I'm happy. This morning on when we went to the park. Me and my friend Franklin went
to the park and then Alex was there as well. And so we were we went on a walk
just around town. And there is this one house that had a peach tree with ripe
peaches. And so we're like oh don't mind if I do. And so we all took a peach. And
that was just a very amazing moment because I'm very grateful that I got to
have a fresh peach. So that was awesome. And then they were also growing grapes on
their fence. So he got some grapes as well. And they were not normal grapes. I
think they were actually normal grapes. And then what we eat is not normal grapes.
But the grapes that they had on the fence had like four seeds in them each. And
they were there was like a jelly texture center. But they were really good. Really
good. And so we went on we kept walking. And then we we got a lot of sun. We were
just walking around town shirtless with bare feet. And so there's just three
jacked dudes walking around town shirtless and barefoot. So then I went to
then we went back and we were almost home. And I remembered seeing earlier in
the summer that there was this one house in the alley that was growing grapes in
the alley. But they were not ripe. So I never got to try them. And then I was I
reminded I told them about that. And then we decided to go down into that alley
and try and find the grapes. And we got some. And they were good. So today was a
good day. We got grapes. And we also got peaches. So that's something I'm really
happy about. I'm very grateful for that. Another thing that I'm very grateful for
is I got so much sun today. I'm so grateful that it's still sunny out. Because I
know very soon the sun is just going to disappear for the next seven months.
Because I live in Chicago and that sun just disappears. And I get very pale
during the winter time. And so I'm very grateful that it was just very sunny out
today. And I was shirtless all day. So I don't have a farmer's tan. I was
shirtless pretty much all summer. So I don't have a farmer's tan. Which is
perfect because tomorrow is the first day we kayak. So I'm gonna be shirtless in
school in the pool. So that's nice. Jacked tan. What could go wrong? Absolutely
nothing. And plus we're walking across the field house. Shirtless because our
locker room is on the other opposite side of the field house. Which is basically
our gym from the pool. So we're all gonna be walking across. And I'm tan. So that's
exciting.
But I'm also very grateful that me and my friend went to the mall yesterday
and took some action and talked to some girls. Because that's also very good. And
it was it was hard still. But it was way easier than the first time. Like
significantly easier. So the next time we do it, it'll be way easier than today.
And at that point it'll probably be not as beneficial to do it. So we'll have to
figure out the next thing to expand our comfort zone. Which may be once we get to
Florida walk around like the pool shirtless and talk to some girls in
bikinis or something like that. That might be the next thing. I don't know.
We'll figure it out. But I'm very grateful for that that we went there
yesterday. Because if you remember the other day I was thinking a lot about this
one girl that I saw at school. Just she kept on popping in my head for some
reason. And then once I took action at the mall, she just didn't pop up in my
head. So that's very good. Now I'm more in control of my head. So I think once you
take action, then everything just dissipates and you have control again
of your mind. And once you kind of daydream and fantasize. So I want to
talk about this one thing that I reread in The Way the Spirit Man. There was, so
while I was journaling, that girl kept on popping up in my head. And so I was
journaling. I was like, I got to fix this. I got to figure this out. So I went
back and reread a couple chapters of The Way the Spirit Man. And I realized that
I was doing it all wrong. I was, when I saw that girl, I would always just either
fantasize or I would let all that energy go to my genitals. Now this section is
gonna get pretty weird, but hold on with me. And but what you're actually supposed
to do is you're supposed to accept that energy, all that gift. Like you know
that feeling that you get when you see a very beautiful woman. You're supposed to
accept it and then breathe consciously and use your breath to
circulate that energy all throughout your body. So you're supposed to bathe
every single cell in your body with that energy. And that basically increases
your energy. And that's what Spirit Men do. Spirit Men do not let the energy
build up in their heads or their genitals, but they circulate the energy all
throughout their body. And I feel like that's why I kept on thinking and
fantasizing even after the fact. Because I failed at circulating the energy. So
now, in the future, as long as I remember to stay awake and consciously
circulate that energy throughout my body, I predict I won't be like obsessing in
my mind over that girl. So that I'll let you guys know if that theory comes to, if
that theory is true. My prediction is it is true because it just makes sense. I'm
going to get some more water.
So I believe it was yesterday in my podcast where I was talking about staying
awake and in reality, Transurfing with Adam Zellin says, ask yourself, is this
real at least 10 times a day? And that was towards the middle, middle end of
the chapter. And I believe that he was actually saying that to reduce the
number so he didn't scare off the listener, the reader. Because towards the
end of that chapter, he actually said that you should be asking yourself, is
this real every single minute of the day? So you need to be conscious 100% of the
day. And if you're asking yourself, is this real every single minute of the day?
That's over like 10,000 times. I don't even know. Probably not. It's over like 200
times. That's all I know. So it's not 10 times a day. It's 200 times a day. So every
single day, you're not going to really get that 200 or 300, whatever the word is,
or whatever the number is. Here, let's actually do the math. So I'm asleep for
nine hours a day. So that leaves three 15 hours. So 15 times 60. What's 15 times
six 15 times two is 30. So 30 times three, 900. Is that right? No, 90. So I think
there's 900 minutes in the day. So instead of 10 times, you have to ask
yourself, is this real 900 times a day, at least? So I probably ask myself, is
this real maybe 15 to 20 times a day, depending on the day and depending on how
much time I spend with my friend? That's right now. So in one week from now, I
should be at at least 100 times a day. I need to be every single day. Well, I'm
not going to set a time expectation. But every single day I should be asking
myself, is this real more and more and just limiting the amount of time in
between each conscious awareness. So then eventually that time gets so small that
I'm just conscious all day long. That's the goal of Transurfing Practice. And
plus lucid dreaming. I haven't had a lucid dream yet. Yes, it was the first
day that I was consciously focusing on it. It was either yes or the day before
that was consciously focusing on lucid dreaming. And I'm not gonna lie today. I
kind of fell off. I was still asking myself, is this real? But the thing is,
every single time I remember that question, I root, I routinized it. And I
would instantly do the dream test, which is to look at a word and try and change
it to a different word. Try and change the text. And so I never, I always would
just instantly try and change the word to a different word instead of ask
myself, is this real consciously? Which is an issue because I, it needs to be
fully conscious. And in reality, I keep thinking like there's not enough time in
the day to do this. And I'm just gonna be wasting the day. But that's just an
excuse. There is so much time in the day. And plus, you do this while you're
living. This just allows you to live more, just more purposely. So there really
is no excuse to be conscious 24 seven. So all if I invest all my energy towards
this, or at least a big amount of energy, I'll definitely see some, some results
in progress. Because there was also another quote that I just remembered in
the beginning of Transurfing, he said, Remember that every moment you spend
practicing the trans surfing, every moment you spend doing the the
Transurfing practice is a moment spent, or is another moment. Wait, no, sorry, guys,
I'm absolutely screwing this. Every moment spent, every moment spent practicing the
Transurfing technique, you are consciously moving towards your goals. Just think
about that. Every moment spent practicing the Transurfing techniques, you are
consciously moving towards your goals. So every and since being awake, being
conscious is a Transurfing technique, you are consciously moving closer to your
goals. But if you're asleep, you're not necessarily moving closer to your goals.
So that's why you want to optimize your day and become awake 24 seven. It's not
going to happen overnight, but it will happen eventually if your intention is
strong. We get some more water. So this is episode 3032. And I haven't been
looking at my analytics in a while. And I'm not planning on looking at my
analytics until next month, at least. I haven't set an exact day. But I'm thinking
maybe September 10. And today is August 20, to put into perspective. So on
September 10, I'll look at my analytics and see. And I'll make a plan from there
because once I turn 18, I'll be able to open a bank account for my business. And
if I start on the 10th, that'll give me seven days to prepare for a bank account.
And that's basically where I'm at in my business right now. And I kind of today
after today, I have to make money soon. But it's also like, I can't expect money
to come. Because it's not it's this whole thing. So I just have to focus on
myself and focus on the transfer fee and not worry about the game. That's
that's really what that's all about. Don't worry about the money. It'll come.
Just focus on getting towards Florida.
So I'm noticing my energy levels are down a little bit more. And back to what I was
saying about the breath in his marketing, the email that I read about
breathing, actually, he said that having more efficient breath and breathing, you
actually get more energy. So that's huge. So I think it's actually worth looking
into. I'll figure it out. But my energy levels are down right now. So I'm I'm
gonna look for things I'm gonna do the happiness ritual again, and try and
figure out what in my surroundings. I'm happy about. Well, I'm okay, I just
thought of this. I record my podcast in my basement. And I'm very grateful that I
have a spot in my house. I'm actually really happy that I have a spot in my
house that I can record and it's relatively quiet. Because I remember in
the beginning, first couple episodes, I was struggling to find a spot. And I
even went outside to the park and recorded in a tree. That was one of my
earlier episodes. So I spent around 15 minutes in a tree barefoot and shirtless
just recording my podcast. So I've come a long way from then. I'm very grateful for
me recording the basement when it's relatively quiet and there's no
distractions.
I'm also very grateful that I got this. My friend gave me a bar of soap that
it's homemade and it's just made from beef tallow. And it's probably one of the
best bars of soap I've ever used. I really like it a lot. And we were talking
about my friend. Notice that I had back acne today while we were walking. And so
Alex recommended that I actually wash my back with my soap and that's something
that I never do. But I think I will do I'll start doing that. See what see what
comes of it. So I'm very grateful that I learned that piece of information and
knowledge and was brought. I was brought to my attention.
I'm very grateful that I get to go to the gym. A very nice gym whenever I want. And
I have my own bike which is very nice. So I can take myself there on my own. Not
have to worry about the car. That's very grateful. I'm grateful that I live like
two miles away from it. So I'm pretty close to like a 10 minute bike ride. I'm
grateful that I'm actually grateful that I'm in school right now because it's
giving me a lot of practice staying awake and staying in different from
pendulums. Today is going to be today is a good day. Today went well and the world
is really taking care of me. I'm looking forward to the future. The future is
looking promising.
I'm actually kind of excited. I'm really grateful that it's it's sunny out but in
the beginning of summer I was dreading the fact that it's gonna change to winter.
But then I quickly realized I gotta stay present and accept the fact that it's
summertime and it's awesome. But I was looking for reasons why winter time is
good and one of the reasons is that it's cold. So you get a lot of cold exposure.
The pipes, the water pipes get colder so the cold showers get colder. So that
means that your discipline gets stronger during the winter time. And plus on my at
my gym there's a balcony, a turf balcony where you can just go out and today I
went out to tan. But I remember last winter there was this dude that was just
meditating out there in the cold. Maybe zero degrees and it was snowy and he
would just meditate out there. And after a little bit I joined in and he told me
that it was the Wim Hof method that he uses. So I looked it up and then I ended
up doing the Wim Hof method. So I do it every morning. I do the meditation every
morning and I do cold showers. And so I'm excited for the winter time because
I'm trying to practice my Wim Hof meditations.
So that's something to look forward to in the future. There was another thing I
read in Transurfing and it's that if you focus on two goals at once you'll
achieve neither. And it's because you're trying to swim in two opposite directions.
In the alternative space basically. And that just won't work. And so I dropped the
Hawaii thing and I'm only focusing on Florida. And then once I achieve Florida
I'll focus on the Hawaii thing. But that's pretty much where I'm at what I'm
looking forward to in the future. And I'm sorry that every five or so or every
seven I don't know how often but every so often I have low energy episodes. I
just want you guys to see that I'm not always super up every single day and
that there are down days and low days. To wrap things up don't forget to download
your favorite episodes and subscribe to the Ascend Momentum show. But before you
guys leave make sure to remember the Eagles.
