Glass Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 July 2019. -It's been intense. I'm halfway through a period where I will have worked 30/32 consecutive days. I did it for the vacation next month and the one after, and some extra money. But I'm done with it now, and valuing my free time more than ever before. I shouldn't pick up any shifts when I know I am picking some others up, just say no. They will find other people. But what's really intense is this burning desire to really want to get serious about training daily, a daily spiritual practice in the morning if i can or right after work if i am working in the mornging. just do it as soon as you can! shortly after you wake up or after you get off of work, just do it before you get home and then the day just starts happening. That and continuing my 100 day music journey (a month and a half left) and also go out and see my friends every once in a while is important too. it ends up being ever other week or so.

Glass Posted August 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 August 2019. -a late post this month, I've been caught in the black hole vacuum that is video game addiciton. The Culprit: Fire Emblem Three Houses. But now I'm finished and ready to move past, video games can be fun and engrossing but if I lived my life like it was a second chance given to me at the end of my life, I wouldn't be playign fucking video games. In a way its a childish thing for me, I loved it when I was a kid growing up but now that I'm an adult there are more satisfying activities that I enjoy and give me more joy and life than video games. So I want this to be the last video game I play, with the exception of ones I play with my friends (and thats just because its a shared activity to enjoy time with them, though I can play music with them as a shared thing too). Anyways, I want to be the fire emblem character instead of just pressing buttons and growing them. And I want to use my free time to prepare for time with other people and use my relationships as motivation for practice and preparation. I use my free time, not throw it away on mindless entertainment, to build myself for the important moments. Kind of feel like I've been living my life wrong in a way, time to try something new.

Glass Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 September 2019. -Hmm, I just want to be a badass. thats why i want to work out and play guitar and know and feel and build relationships and enjoy life as much as i want the way i want it. I will focus less on books and movies and tv shows, they are just extras if i want to or am in that situation. But really I want to balance handling my day to day stuff and sleep and tasks with doing things for other people and enjoying the relationships in my life. Cause in the end I think doing thigns like working out and being good at guitar is nice but i just want to love and be loved more than that. The best would be to meld the two things together, but never lose sight of the balance between self and others for happiness and for the life that i want to lead. I will happily sacrifice progress for time with people, and I could argue that you will end up farther with people and taking care of yoruself and others rather than going it alone and studying.

Glass Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 March 2020. -1 year anniversary here in the city! I feel like ive done and accomplished so much. Still a lot of htings to do and a logn way to go, but I've learned the value of "The Middle." It's the space between where you are and where you want to be, and it is an engaging place where you can use your full mind and see real progress and see nobility and beauty. Another name for it is hard work, but that trope is overused and has a negative stigma with decades of abuse and guilt. So now I"ll call it the middle, and I see it for the noble and beautiful place it is. It's actually life, if you think about it. All of life is between birth and death, so why not celebrate the middle and see it for what it is, life. -Focus is on martial arts and interpersonal relationships Ideas for the Month: Body: -Continue BJJ/Muay Thai -Home handstand/abs/pushup work Spirit: -Learn songs that you love, as fast and efficiently as you can -Singing/Piano classes (Cambridge Center for adult education)?

Glass Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 April 2020. -Birthday month again! Looking back at 12 months ago on the first post of this page, I can see that I did do a lot, but I didn't really gain that much because I didn't have a vision. I didnt visualize where I would be at this time and so I didn't have any specific progress. It's like focusing on concentrating on specific things you want, versus just nebulous "i will work on this." I know I did pretty much the best I could and grew a lot. So I'm satisfied but I could be more satisfied when I look back at this post in 12 months time, I want to remember the instructions I wrote for myself and what I will have and achieve, and to be grateful and PROUD that I have attained those things, hopefully earlier than in 12 months.

Glass Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 May 2020. -So what I want to get out of my life is "satisfaction," then I realize that I thought I would get it by becoming things. Becoming richer, becoming financially independent, becoming friends and finding a partner and beign a black belt and winning a grammy and learning chiense. But I really got burned out because I was getting tired of hard work with a delayed payoff. My dopamine motivated brain wasn't having it and thats why I always got so distracted with video games and other easy dopamine farms that did not make me happier. I was unproductive a lot of the latter half of ht emonth, but I think that's okay because I've realized that this life satisfaction thing I've been chasing has been about being, not doing. Because thats the ultimate goal, being, when you think of the future and vacations, its being. Although I know a balance is best, what if I could reach my goals of being not through "doing," but rather through "being?" Being a guitarist, being fit, being a good person and a badass. Also, I'm gonna try a dopamine detox kinda and ideally use my computer and phone a lot less, and just as a tool, rather than being in the center of my life. Embrace boredom sometimes, it will make you rebalance what is important in your life. Goals for the Month: 1) Be a Tribe, Partner, and Feel Wisdom -Read "Think and Grow Rich" and write out instructions and desires and plan and align yourself with those instructions -Watch love island, the bachelor, italian for beginners -Read Blinkist books and thin out your library 2) Be Financially Independent and Earn $350,000 in 2 years (by my 32nd birthday) -Read Pogue's Basics: Money, Think and Grow Rich -Read Reddit sub FI/RE 3) Be and feel Fit, Strong, and get a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu -NF Headstands, pushups, ab workouts -Gracie Jiujitsu University online 4) Be a Musician/Amateur Rockstar, and feel badass, eventually win a Grammy -Visualize and perform in monthly performances while learning songs in depth (Flume, Hurt, Someone New, Almost Mine, Perfect, Mother May I Sleep with Danger, Say Something) -Watch It Might Get Loud, Nana -Learn Guitar Pro 7 and write tabs for songs 5) Become Fluent in Chinese and feel at home -Complete Rosetta Stone Unit 8 -Some Medical Chinese Achievements/Experiences/Skills: WEEK 1: 5/1-5/7 -Worked on "almost mine" on guitar pro 7 -Worked on my diet, no more fruits or quinoa/sweet potato, and introduce egg whites, asparagus/beans, no more eating shiett for 2-2.5 weeks (then try elimination diet for sugar, dairy, alcohol, gluten [a few days each]) -Read Power Sleep, 4 Hour Body -Chinese 8.3 -HS 13.1, AB 6.5, PU 8.2 WEEK 2: 5/8-5/14 -Played: Slay the Spire -Cut my own hair WEEK 3: 5/15-5/21 -social distancing walk, also a note that you will be tested and tempted during hangouts and group meetouts with bad food etc. -researched my goals for pushups, situps, plank, pullup, and runs aligning with minimum military standards -learned about anterior pelvic tilt and maybe thats why im so bad at situps? -played smash online with friends but im done with it its not satisfying -wrote my summary of instructions!! now to finish the rest of hte book -worked on pullups,, situps, pushups, running WEEK 4: 5/22-5/31 -Finished Unit 8: Chinese finally!

By having preferences, we choose when to embrace life when we should be embracing life all the time and being grateful for the "messy middle where all the miracles happen."

On my journey to be more authentic I want what I say to reflect how i feel, and how I say it and my face to match how I feel on the inside and my words. Authenticity and your truth. its simple i guess. Just one thing at a time commit and say what you want to say.
