Doubt a self imposed reality

Tonight I began my journey to go on a vision quest.

In the beginning of this journey I had several revelations but the most re-occuring was the observation that I have doubts in nearly everything I am trying to accomplish.

So I'm going to do the following to address my constant brain chatter which is the manifestation of my doubt and causes me anxiety.

1. I'm going to develop a daily reading to help me achieve me goals and release doubts. A couple of items for that reading already inspired are:
   • I have clarity and purpose.
     
   • The universe is my ally
2. I'm going to obtain an object that I use each morning to capture the doubts that my subconscious mind has generated each night.

My goal in these activities is to free my mind each day of the doubts that are in the subconscious which have been there most of my life. In this way I will be free to accomplish all that I desire.

The 80/20 Principle

I started listening to "The 80/20 Principle" audio book. And the rap referenced in the beginning of the book wont get out of my head. 

My current three thoughts on the 80/20 Principle aer:

1. That 80% of my extra weight comes from 20% of my food. 

My conclusion. Instead of changing what I'm eating and when I'm going to only adjust the size. When i eat fast food I'm ordering the smallest adult sizes of the items I want.

2. 80% of nutrients come most likely from 20% of my food. Because of this I'm going to focus on identifying those items I eat with the highest nutrient value and ensuring I get them each day.

3. 80% of your judgements of things result in small to no outputs. So the decisions you make are generally fed only by 20% of your judgements.

This frees my mind to not focus so much on judgements because I now can understand that most likely 4/5 of those judgements actually don't do me any good.

I know this isn't a principle that should be flailed around like a bible of how to organize but putting things in context of 80/20 is very empowering to me.

The 4-Hour Workweek

This is my first post after listening to the Audio Book of "The 4-Hour Workweek." by Tim Ferriss.

At this point my mind is still realing from the shear number of actionable things he presents in the book. 

My inner critical parent is working overtime trying to keep from believing in my own ability to achieve. Today I will augment listening to the book by listening to a ZAO meditation as well.

If you have not read "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Tim Ferriss don't. It'll just disturb your life by giving  you a new perspective and actionable steps you can take to live up to the four agreements Don Miguel Ruiz lists in "The Four Agreements." 

Those being:

"Be Impeccable With Your Word" (especially what you tell yourself.)

"Don't Make Assumptions" (especially regarding the nature of work and the world.)

"Always Do Your Best" (even when you don't believe in your own ability.)

"Don't Take Anything Personally." (the universe is not conspiring against you.)
