Awaken Out Of Context

#91 - I Couldn't Get Out of Bed. This 90-Day Challenge Changed Everything (solo episode)

10 Nov 2025

Description

Three years ago, I couldn't get out of bed. My alarm would go off with a personalised message - "today is a new day, Jason" - and I'd lie there paralysed, staring at stained wallpaper, unable to take even the first step into my day.Then I created a 90-day challenge that completely transformed my identity, discipline, and how others perceived me. Not just my habits - but who I fundamentally believed I was.In this episode, I'm giving you the exact three-step framework I used to go from rock bottom to becoming someone who shows up consistently, does hard things, and commands respect.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:- The 3-step framework for designing challenges that transform your identity (not just build habits)- Why 90-day timeframes create deeper shifts than shorter commitments- How documenting your journey publicly creates an accelerated feedback loop that reinforces your new identity- The unexpected social benefits of completing challenges - including how people suddenly see you as magnetic and worth collaborating with- Real examples: my cold water challenge, David Goggins' Navy SEAL transformation, Jocko Willink's 4:30am accountability, and the "hardest geezer" who ran across Africa- Why doing something for charity can overcome the mental block of feeling selfish about self-improvement- How discipline in one domain (like cold water) transfers to completely different areas of life (sobriety, fitness, relationships)TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 My rock bottom journal entry00:01:55 The solution: 3-step challenge framework00:04:40 The wedding conversation that changed everything00:06:35 Identity shift and discipline transfer to other life domains00:07:15 David Goggins: from obese to Navy SEAL00:08:00 Building authority through public documentation00:09:00 Examples: Hardest Geezer, Jocko Willink, £1 to £1M challenge00:11:10 Your challenge: take action todayRESOURCES:Start your free month of accountability tracking: indiip.com/podcast(First 5 people get personal accountability support from me)I'm Jason Berry - a habit tracking entrepreneur and podcaster who transformed from someone who couldn't get out of bed to a person known for discipline and showing up.
