CONSISTENCY! CONSISTENCY! CONSISTENCY!

Practice Like You Play

Show Up So Damned Ready … That You Don’t Have To Get Ready

Practice With Intensity

As you do the reps, THINK about what you are doing. Continuously ELEVATE your discipline so that your consistency is an mindfully immersive experience, ie you are not just going through the motion.

Elevation of discipline requires heavy lifting … you cannot elevate dreams or clouds or phantoms or hopes or fears – you must elevate the heavy weight of your current self-discipline to raise the level where your discipline currently are. Elevation must be stuck in concrete and firmly grounded in your current reality … there’s nothing heavier than lifting your current reality. That’s why the start of elevation cannot be one bit theoretical; you cannot lift from an arbitrary point or desire; you can’t start from what you desire or hope or wish were true.

Develop Your Self-Coaching Practice From Where You Are

You start where you KNOW you are … that includes everything entangled with your existence.

Eliminate your baggage, burdens, pointless relationships and the unexamined assumptions that keep you weighted down. Elevation is about lifting yourself from the mass of where you currently are … you cannot waste the effort on elevating the extra baggage. Elevation has to be the HARD way … but you should not make it harder than it is. Just as you cannot have somebody else elevate for you; you cannot elevate the level of someone else’s discipline … elevation is entirely on YOU; other people’s elevation has to be on them … there are ways that you can help people, but just writing a check or just giving them $ does not really help them in the longer, eternal sense.

Elevation of discipline is HARD … there is simply no other way. You have to start where you are.

Since you have to reach down and lift yourself up by your own effort … before you can even think about elevating, you have to get real about hitting bottom or assessing the ground on which you are standing.

The current discipline that you are standing on right now is whatever it is … you cannot redo the past that got you here … you’re here, exactly where you are.

After you have gotten real about where you are, ELEVATING your level of discipline begins with the earnest intention to elevate yourself to whatever your Creator intended you to become … beyond that, it will be the actual second-by-second execution of that intention to elevate FROM WHERE YOU ARE … elevation of discipline is HARD … people know it’s hard, so there is tendency to avoid it.

Brainstorm The Discipline of Brainstorming

ESSENTIAL FIRST STEP: The most important, but usually forgotten step of brainstorming is MINIMALIZATION. It’s not optional; it’s essential.You have to ditch the bloatware, ditch those extra apps running in the background of your subconscious memory. Get rid of the stuff that has you stuck in a rut. In order to be open and to critically, but fairly appraise the value of new ideas that MIGHT be better and MIGHT be worth trying, you really need to eliminate the stupid, needy habits of just being addicted to the comfort of being yourself.

To really brainstorm your practice of elevation, you will need to PUSH beyond your current envelope of ideas. The beauty of our modern age is that the best ideas of 8 billion other humans are literally at our fingertips now … elevating the discipline of brainstorming all about building better habits in the discipline of brainstorming itself.

We cannot afford to just look at the top three or five as we normally do with lazily googlestorming ideation. We cannot settle for what’s easy. We really need to PUSH a bit harder and think … or maybe daydream, or BRAINSTORM how we might improve brainstorming itself in the modern world of AI-assisted ideation.

To brainstorm, we want to have roughly 125 pretty good ideas in the hopper … we will try to get to each of these GOOD ideas sometime in the next 3 months, but the lower 100 will always be on the bubble as we ideate a better set of 100.

The 25 keepers will most important list items we work on at least once a month.

Our top five list … which might be closer to what everyone tends to think of as a normal ToDo list are those top five things that we will touch on at least once in the coming week.

Of course, our focus will be one the ONE main one … the biggie that we are really focusing on, trying to get right.
