Make Monday Awesome

You really can’t mess this up. Well you can, in two ways, none of which involve the actual food you eat, only your mindset. More on today’s episode

There is really only one person you need to seeking validation from. That’s not to say other’s opinions don’t matter, some do, but until you have it right for yourself, you will always be chasing the same old thing. More on this episode -Kresimir Jug

There could be many reasons, the most common one I see is you’re not willing to plan your life around what you want, you’re still planning what you want around your life. More on this episode -Kresimir Jug

I was chatting with a pilot friend of mine the other day and he, unknowingly, told me the secret to health, that if more people practiced would be leaner, happier, and more successful. This week’s podcast is all about that secret. -Kresimir Jug

Just a reminder that life is not easy and that’s ok. Sometimes what you need to improve is be ok with, and accept the pain. Sometimes it’s necessary to moving forward -Kresimir Jug

Authenticity is getting a lot of attention and rightfully so. I have been playing guitar for some time and if you know anything about the guitar you’ll know that it’s hard to sound like yourself and stand out. On this podcast, I discuss what I’ve learned, through the guitar, about authenticity. -Kresimir Jug

They don’t really, they are just not good tools to use to make decisions. Emotions are what makes life awesome. Feeling joy, love, pride, self-esteem are all wonderful as feeling depressed, anxious, nervous, or apathetic are important, yet not fun to experience. This does not change what emotions are or how we should use them in our life. -Kresimir Jug

Somedays I’m equally amazed and horrified at the level of social pressure that exists in 2020. As always, it’s a philosophical issue, which I’ll talk about today. I’ll also mention the one person you should not let down. -Kresimir Jug

Do you wake up early or stumble out of bed? Do you spend some time in the morning looking at your day ahead, planning on how you’re going to handle the challenges, or, do you start behind the eight-ball? On this podcast, I chat about the start of my day, why I think it’s important and why you don’t have to do it at the start of your day. -Kresimir Jug

I know I’m not the only that is thinking this. On today’s show, one man’s opinion on one (don’t have time to talk about all) root cause to the sheer insanity we see around us daily. Applying this idea has personally not been easy, but has made all the difference in my life and happiness. -Kresimir Jug

If something isn’t serving you, or if you’ve changed, then you probably need to quit something before you start something new again. There is a stigma with quitting, we think it means you’re a failure. Sometimes that’s true, sometimes it’s not. It all depends on the context. -Kresimir Jug

Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life ~ Steve Jobs On this episode, I talk about the structure I use to get the most out of my and get the most amount of things done, while still finding happiness in my life. Hope you find some benefit from this episode -Kresimir Jug

You can’t. And, you wouldn’t want to in my experience. In fact the more ‘convincing’ you try to be, the more most people will turn away and be soured by your attitude. Now, that’s not to say you can’t influence and compel someone, and that’s the topic of today’s podcast. How to ethically introduce and influence someone to your ideas. -Kresimir Jug

One of the great frustrations in life - feeling like you’re doing all the work, yet getting no results. This week, on a seemingly insignificant elevator ride - I was reminded how quickly things can and do change, never to do the same. It’s why concepts like gratitude and joy work. -Kresimir Jug

Now is a great time to start the process of change. Slowly, things are starting to return to normal and I’ve noticed that a lot the ‘normal’ routines I used to have I’ve forgotten or become rusty on. Now is the time to install new patterns. -Kresimir Jug

It’s a stressful, uncertain time. But here’s the thing, life is full of stressful uncertain times. That’s not a prediction for your life, that’s a spoiler. It’s going to come, whether globally or not. You could always lose your job, get injured, lose a loved one, etc. I’m far at an expert at dealing with fear and uncertainty, but I have seen my share, and this week I talk about what has helped me. -Kresimir Jug

Anytime you deny your nature as a human being you are hurting the most important part of yourself; your mind and consciousness. The idea that you shouldn’t compare yourself to others is crazy since your mind depends on comparison to learn and grow, it’s literally how our children learned concepts, by comparing and contrasting. The issue is not the comparison, it’s the standard. Spend more time focusing on the standards you’re using to judge, where you got those standards, whose standards they are, and why you’ve excepted them. -Kresimir Jug

All these are taken from Charles Duhigg’s book The Power of Habit, but here are the 5 things that I’ve learned and that I hope you can apply to your life in order to help you make the changes that you want -Kresimir Jug

In order for anything to grow and develop, you need the proper environment. Tomatoes don't grow in Antarctica, and Maple trees don't grow in the ocean. And, unfortunately, we don't live in an environment that is conducive to the development of genuine mental health for the majority of the human race. Of course, some humans will be able to do it, but for the majority of us, the soil is just not fertile - unless you know how to make it fertile. That’s what this episode is all about -Kresimir Jug

Just a reminder that you’re doing enough. Even if you aren’t, smashing your self-esteem is not going to help you get better. Being conscious and accepting of yourself is the starting point, not anger, frustration, and denial. Just wanted to remind you of that this week -Kresimir Jug
