In the past I have thought about sharing about certain things many times, then I thought: “I don’t know how this will end, let’s wait and I’ll make the video later”. The “later” point never came and I regret not having shared in the moment. Now I am changing that! And with that, I am exploring a lot of thoughts that are on my mind right now in regards to being a creator and having the desire to make YouTube and the likes to my full-time income. In this episode I explore: Why am I shy? Why do I care what others think? That we need thick skin (and not just if you are a creator). Why having others to approve of me is not helpful. Being enough the way I am (even when alone). And realizing that I have a following that I should be real with. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment section, vis Instagram, or on Telegram.

Being able to do more, break free of our own perceptions, the judgments we fear and think are out there. Rediscovering the new me. It’s a learning process. From techniques (journaling, meditation, and healing sessions) over to discovering that not everybody thinks just like me and that there is more acceptance than one would think in this world. Becoming more of who I am now instead of being stuck with who I once was. 🔗 Relevant Links: Jason Silva Video about Control Freaks Candice Wu — Holistic Healer 🎧 Chapters / Show Notes: 00:00 Intro 01:40 Overview — Finding Balance in Life 04:22 What Do I Want Moving Forward? 06:19 Learning to Detach From Childhood Perceptions 08:12 How I Am Uncovering Myself — The Ever-Ongoing Process 10:30 Learning to Break Perceptions 12:14 Getting to Know That Not Everybody Has the Same Opinion — There Are Nuances 16:35 Unapologetic & Executing More 19:40 Working With My Self Perception 23:28 Wanting It All at the Same Time 25:52 An Experiment I Am Thinking About 28:01 Jason Silva on Thanking Fear 31:08 Outro Website 💻 https://ChrisSpiegl.com Instagram 📷 https://ChrisSpiegl.com/instagram Twitter 💬 https://ChrisSpiegl.com/twitter Podcast 🎧 https://ChrisSpiegl.com/podcast Patrons 👑 https://ChrisSpiegl.com/support Gear & Tools 🎥 https://ChrisSpiegl.com/gear

Rereading a book that has shaped a big portion of my life — The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss — is having a bigger impact on me than I expected. Especially now, with the beginning of the new year and decade.

Let’s start 2020 with a vision that feels a little out there. How can we get there? Do you need to Reframe, Restructure, or change how you do things? It’s time right now, but it can also be whenever! In this episode, I am talking about one of my goals that I am turning over in my head. Should I set up a huge goal? Should I not? How can I achieve it? Do I need to adjust the goal or maybe my life?

Let’s talk about how to review the past year and design your 2020 so that you can achieve what you set out to do. Over the past decade I set many goals, I failed at most of them, now it’s time to do this differently and with more knowledge about my path and self. In this episode, I talk about my past experience with goal setting over many years, mostly failing, and then stopping completely. From there I went on a path of self-exploration and a sort of spiritual awakening with the help of my healer (Candice Wu) and since then I have my excitement back to set new goals. So I am now sharing my full process with you, the process I will go through between Christmas and New Years, to review 2019 and design my 2020! Let’s do this together and achieve what we envision!

Talking seriously. Sometimes not all is amazing and upbeat, but that inner world view can be leveraged to grow out of it. I share deeply about what is going on in my life, how it can be self-deprecating, borderline depressing, but I am still trying to pull myself up! There will be more to come on this journey and since recording this episode my life situation has changed a lot. I thought about not publishing this episode but then I would only give gas to the fire of deception that everything is always perfect for everybody else but yourself. I am not perfect, I am far from it, and I struggle. This is one of those moments that that was the case and I’d like to share it with you.
