What should I do when I feel unproductive?
I wish I could make a video on how to be perfect. I wish I could make a video telling you the A through Zs of how you can wake up on time every single day, how you can be on top of everything, be super productive, but I cannot because I am human. And the bane of the human existence is that you are going to make mistakes, not a matter of if, a matter of when. My mistake? I went to bed late, 1.30, which has been my muse as of recent. I love going to bed at 1.30 because, you know, I hit midnight and I know I should go to sleep. I know I should put the phone away. But that scroll, though! Ooh! Dude, have you ever hit like a late night scroll? It is so good. It's so good. It is so brain numbing. It is so addicting and beautiful. And I forget everything that I watch.
It's awesome. But when you wake up the next day and you realize that your entire day is screwed, it really makes you question why you are on this planet, why you can't get anything right. But I've learned something that I want to pass down to you. I've learned something about the relationship with myself.
How can I accept my imperfections?
And I think that once you figure out a way to master this, especially now where maybe you're feeling really bad and you're feeling really, really defeated by yourself, which is like the worst. Aren't you supposed to be your best friend? Your own best friend? I want you to accept it as is. I want you to accept it as is. And by it, I mean the late time that you woke up. The fact that it is 11 a.m. on a Monday. The fact that it is, you know, noon on a Tuesday. I don't know. The fact that it happened. It happened. You woke up late. It happened. You wanted to have a productive start. You wanted to be out of the house by 10 a.m. And it's 2 p.m. You have an option. And one of those options is to continue to... I just got to roam around, yeah? Are you filming something?
Yeah, yeah, I'm just recording something. Is that a license? watch this this is about to be awesome dude's got four dogs what okay back to what i was saying accepting it as is man It's going, dude, you are not going to be perfect. You won't. I promise you if there's one thing in this life you got to understand, it's that you have to deal with your mind, your body as if they are different entities of yourself. And even though your will might want you to be productive and your soul is telling you, I got to lock in, sometimes you won't be able to. You won't. it's okay it's fine I have learned that when I accept my situation as is whether that is me waking up late whether that is you know a potential business partner putting me you know giving me a cold shoulder whether that is like a crush not responding to a message you know it like You have to accept it as is. You've got to accept your situation for what it is.
What are the benefits of accepting my situation?
And sometimes that is a very sobering thought and a sobering realization because maybe you realize, dang, I'm not doing good. And maybe you realize that your pursuit of whatever you're trying to go after, it needs to take a break because you've got to sort yourself out. I think a lot of people are quick to diminish how they feel or they're quick to, you know, look at themselves as if they're a robot. I should be able to do this. Like you cannot. You can't. You can't. And sometimes you'll have situations where, you know, You just got to do something for yourself. You got to put like a half rep in for yourself. And that's what I'm doing right now, today.
How can I deal with late starts in my day?
You know, I'm low energy. It's muggy out. I can find every reason to complain, but you know what? I accept it as is. I'm like, all right, well, yeah, all of that is true. But I love the Zerky Show, fam. I want to do the Zerky Show. I love it. So I'm going to do it. Even if it's rough in the moment, it's fine. It's okay. But it's going to take me double the time. That's fine. I'm going to be patient with myself. If it takes me four hours to do it instead of one hour, that's fine. At least I'm going to do it. You know, oftentimes we make a lot of plans for our own life and we set deadlines with ourselves and we say, oh, we want to do this in this amount of time. We want to make this much money. We want to be settled by this.
