Source: The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals
Welcome! This is the first post of a blog that I’m titling STEEZY’S SELF-DEVELOPMENT REPORT. Each day, until the day I can’t, I’ll be posting my daily progress on my self-development journey. Following the daily posts, will be weekly and monthly anayses on my progression. I don’t expect anyone to follow these posts, but if you do, feel free to use my blog posts as inspiration, entertainment, or a guide for your self-development journey.
Ultimate Goal: To enrich the lives of those who seek to be the best version of
themselves possible.
I will be narrowing my focus on the four most important pillars of my daily life (in no particular order, subject to refinement):
1. Spirituality (Zen Buddhism)
2. Bubs (My Girlfriend, Doggo and Kitty)
3. Fitness (Weight-Resistance Training)
4. Finance (Steemit Blog)
Long-term S.M.A.R.T. Goals:
This is where I would like to be six months from now with each pillar:
| Spirituality | |
|---|---|
| Specific | End self-inflicted suffering |
| Measurable | Daily practice, 15 min. sessions |
| Attainable | Yes |
| Realistic | Yes |
| Time-bound | 90% Completion rate for six-months |
Spirituality is something that has been a part of my life (on and off) since I was about 12 years old. I first picked up on the ability to enter a “shifted” state of consciousness when I first listened to binuraul beats (lol).
Binurual beats are perceived auditory illusions created by playing two different frequencies in each ear. Ultimately, I believe these illusions are 100% placebo.
This experience really helped me become spiritually curious, exploring various spiritual practices before landing on my preferred practice of Zen Buddhism. Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
| Bubs | |
|---|---|
| Specific | Showing love without the need of words |
| Measurable | One daily act of selflessness per bub |
| Attainable | Yes |
| Realistic | Yes |
| Time-bound | 90% Completion rate for six-months |
The word “bub” is just slang for loved ones. My life was turned upside-down when I met the love of my life roughly three years ago. Without getting too mushy-gushy, my partner really opened my eyes and helped me perceive love in a brand new way. My partner, doggo (Piglet 🐷❤️, & an our angel doggo Elle 🐻❤️), and kitty (Mocha Joe 😻) have become my hearts main priority.
I am always the type to say “I love you” instead of really showing it. The next six months I would really love to dive deep into what it means to show love. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I never do anything for them…I just want to increase the quantity and quality of love that I give.
| Fitness | |
|---|---|
| Specific | Obtain a healthy weight (160lbs) & aesthetic physique |
| Measurable | Daily, 15 min. weight-resistence workouts, targeting a specific muscle group every day. |
| Attainable | Yes. Resources: (2) two 15lb dumbells, (1) one 30lb dumbell. Strength Training Anatomy Book Workout Book |
| Realistic | Yes |
| Time-bound | 90% Completion rate for six-months |
Until I was about 19 years old, I would get some kind of exercise in everyday. At the age of 12, I was heavily into breakdancing and making tutorials on various types of dance on YouTube. This then brought me to my second and third love, aggressive inline skating (shredding skateparks with some sick skates) and long boarding. When I entered college (around 4 years ago), my exercise routine consisted of on and off weight-resistance training.
I’m a really slim guy (weighing in at 145 pounds, 6’2") but when I am consistently working out and eating right, I can be around 155-160 lbs of lean muscle. I am fascinated by science and how the world works, so applying that to working out (working every single muscle properly and in multiple ways) really makes me feel like my workouts are efficient. My routine will consist of working out at high intensity, 15 min. every day as soon as I wake up (4:45 am). I’ll be using two pretty lightweight dumbells
| Finance | |
|---|---|
| Specific | Make a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly post on Steemit |
| Measurable | Provide a daily summary, with weekly, monthly and yearly analyses of my progress |
| Attainable | Yes |
| Realistic | Yes |
| Time-bound | 100% Completion rate for six-months |
Last but not least, Finance (for lack of a better name). This goal will honestly be the toughest for me since it’s something that I am not used to doing. Honestly, I consider myself a lack-luster writer, but ever since I wrote my very first journal entry (just about a week ago) I have wanted to share my journey with the world. I can’t wait to see an improvement in my writing as I go.
My goal is pretty simple, and each day (and other respective time frames) will follow a specific format. My daily reports will showcase what I accomplished (as far as my goals go) for that day. Then, every week I will analyze how I performed the last week and apply a self-assesment to see if there are any area’s of improvement. Also, the weekly format will most likely look similar to the monthly and yearly formats as well.
Final Thoughts:
My main goal with this blog is to change my perception about success. I, probably like many others, have thought that success is all about being rich, having nice things, being able to travel the world and be free of responsibility. Nonetheless, I now know that to be a false misconception. Success is less about what I listed above, and more about being able to have an outlook of unbreakable persistence. The nice thing about my new definition of success is that, once you prove that you’re worth it, the latter will manifest.
I want to prove to the biggest skeptic out there (other than myself), that if I am able to do this (awarded most likely to never stick to anything) that just about ANYONE can.
I hope that you will challenge yourself and come on this journey with me.
