To achieve something, we have to work for a very long time and be consistent. We have to do the thing over and over and over again. To get in shape and start in shape means going to the gym again, and again, and again. Or going on a run, then another, and another, each week, every week. Or reviewing your training materials and study guides consistently. Writing thoughts down on a regular basis, on repeat.

Therefore, the key is to finding something that works for you, and to then keep doing it.

In this episode, I outline some examples and questions we can ask ourselves.

Worry has been around for a long time. In fact, Dale Carnegie wrote about it in 1948 with his book How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. Even before Mr Carnegie’s book bust onto the scene, we have been worrying long before that.  

Ancient philosophies in the Hellenistic period talked about it. Ancient heroes had to address it. 

In this episode, I outline six daily practices we can put in place to help us with worry.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately on the idea of how we improve, show up, and make progress. All of these words can have multiple definitions and meaning. Is it enough to just show up to something? Is 1% better good enough when improving at things? Are we even improving ourselves in the things that matter?

Part of improving and making progress is to show our work, even in its imperfection. In this episode, I outline why.
