change

When the path you’re on isn’t right, make a new path.

By In You

A new path means change.

Change is the only constant.

It is invigorating.

If you don’t accept new challenges, you become complacent and lazy.

Your existence atrophies like the existence of word-users that die young and aren’t buried until they’re old.

We learn and grow because change forces us to experiment and adapt.

New experiences lead to new questions and new solutions.

The difficulty with new experiences is they‘re rarely the ones we had hoped for.

Still you admit new experiences open new horizons you only knew the limits of.

Time after time, you feel you’ve learned and grown already.

IF YOU STRUGGLE

If you struggle with what’s going on as we speak, you can book one of my 1 on 1 calls. I look forward to getting to know you over a virtual cup of coffee during which we’ll together find out how I can help you with bespoke solutions for a better life. My simple method will transform you in ways you want to be transformed.

1 habit that’s transformed my life (no kidding, just 1)

By In You

Alright folks, gather ’round because I’ve got a little secret to share. There’s one (yes, just one!) habit that has taken my afternoon routine from “I need a nap” to “Let’s conquer the world!”

THE 20-MINUTE STROLL AFTER LUNCH

Here’s the scoop: A night owl for longer than I remember, I have a habit of keep on writing away until the crack of dawn, sleep well, wake up full of energy, eat lunch like a champion, and then — BAM! — instant crash like someone hit me with a sleep hammer.

I tried eating lighter meals, but they only left me hungrier and crankier (not cute).

Then a friend swooped by with a life-changing recommendation: “Why don’t you try a 20-minute stroll immediately after lunch?”

Genius! Why didn’t I think of that? Be it as it may, I gave it a whirl.

Fast forward to now: The 20-minute post-lunch stroll is magic! A game-changer. Not only are my energy levels in the afternoon as steady as a drummer in a marching band, the 20-minute strolls in my nearby park are also way more enjoyable than relying on energy drinks. This simple one (1) change has worked wonders in maintaining my energy levels throughout the rest of the day. If that weren’t enough, science has got my back. It’s scientifically proven a post-meal stroll can reduce blood glucose by up to 35%. I used to think it took a 50-minute jog to obtain similar results. Who knew a little walk could be such a powerhouse?

So if you find yourself battling the dreaded afternoon slump, grab your walking shoes and give it a shot.

Your body, your future self, and maybe even your boss, especially if you are your own boss, will thank you.

Ideas are overhyped

By In You

I’ve seen extraordinary ideas come up short and ordinary ideas morph into dreams come true.

The difference between the two is execution.

Having ideas is overhyped because they are effortless, blowing in the wind, free for the taking. If you don’t have this ordinary or extraordinary idea, somebody else will.

Execution is underrated because that’s where the work begins. Making an idea happen, especially if it’s big, can take days, months, or even years, plus the courage to follow through.

Here’s the trick

Write your ideas down. Because your brain is amazing. It remembers and forgets at the same time, your only way to respond to the word explosion, also known as information overload.
It sounds obvious, but many word-users ignore the advice.
How many shopping lists have you forgot because you didn’t write them down? Your ideas are like your shopping lists.
Jot your ideas down on anything handy, like your phone.

Ideas are worthless

Ideas are worthless, what matters is turning those ideas into reality. It’s all about execution.

“Idea + Execution = Results” is the simple formula to write on a Post-It note to your mind.

The gap between having an idea and making it happen is where many word-users get stuck, is how it usually works. Failing to plan is planning to fail, but while planning feels productive, it is often nothing but procrastination in disguise.
Jot your ideas down on anything handy, then take care of the planning just in time.

Recognize these habits?

  • Constantly learning but never starting.
  • Researching endlessly without moving forward.
  • Getting lost in the cursed hows.
  • Tweaking plans instead of acting.
  • Buying new tools to avoid tasks.
  • Waiting for the perfect time.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

Change your habits.
Change how you see words.
Imperfect action beats perfect inaction.
The magic happens when you stop thinking and start doing.

“Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.” – Howard Aiken

The only way to decide your words well?

By In Words, You

The only way to decide your words well?

The 2 things that can be said about words with zero risk of being wrong are the following:

1: You suffer if you have an emotional response to everything that is said to you. Because if words control you means everyone else can control you.

2: If you don’t know words well, you don’t know how to decide words well. And if you don’t know how to decide words well, others will decide your words for you.

If you follow “1” or “2”, you lose because you can’t win with a losing hand.

But there is a 3rd way.

You can end the suffering and decide your words well.
For that, the first step consists of knowing what a word is.
How do you recognise a word when you see or hear one?
Aloud or in self-talk makes no difference.
That first step consists in fact of two, STEP A, followed by STEP B.

STEP A: DO NOT!
DO NOT, repeat DO NOT, believe what the preachers, teachers, schools/universities, internet, artificial intelligence, and smartphones tell you about words.

STEP B: DO!
DO, repeat DO, believe what you see here.

In the beginning is the word. https://go.schindlersword.com/7Prift
Everything that you have a word for is, in fact, a word.
The internet gobbles up, stores, and disseminates more words faster than anything invented for that purpose before. Schools and universities included.
The average 10-year-old has spent more time at their smartphone than at any school.
Whatever tries to make a difference between school and smartphone doesn’t know the first thing about either.
Words haven’t been around forever.
Words have rules.

If you haven’t decided between “STEP A: DO NOT!” and “STEP B: DO!” then you have already made a decision, haven’t you?
This is as simple as decide goes.

No other word or word-user can decide for you.
