10. Parenting screw ups | Why is Meditating so hard?!

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."  — Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) (alternatively attributed to Sir Mark Young and/or Bernard Baruch) Quote from a recent @timFerris episode I fly Solo in this episode to talk about some of my recent experiences with fear of failure, caring about what others think and being myself.

"I've become more confident through failure" Josh Rudin How did a shy 19 year old, who wasn't taken seriously level up and build a home flipping business in the California high desert? Josh struggled with social anxiety, introversion and panic attacks. Have you worried you don't have what it takes to build your business; because you are introverted?  Josh is a fellow introvert and tells his story how he built his real estate business. Josh developed relationships, learned from failure (he had to evict his first 5 tenants) and leveled up experience and confidence. If you ever worried about asking someone on a date in high school you will relate to this (I did this twice in high school and got shot down twice). Stick around to hear about Josh's first date in high school.

I have this weird thing I don't understand well. I feel guilty for being sick. My health took a dive the last 2 months. I pushed myself hard to keep working on my business and podcast. Eventually I had to stop to rest and get help. I have a hard time saying what is wrong sometimes I don't even tell my doctor. But this time it was different. I told my doctor everything...I am getting help. I am even going to get counseling Want to learn more about your personality?

"What makes you different is your power" Jeff I met Jeff and Tommy at a real estate event; 2018 OREIA convention in Cincinnati.  Jeff, Tommy and I connected over the event (see episode 9 for that story)Jeff struggled with similar social anxiety. This is his story. Jeff Rabinowitz facebook.com/damntherecession biggerpockets.com/users/pharmerjeff  Tommy Desmond  tommydesmond.com/blog facebook.com/tommydesmond  Memorable quotes:  "What makes you different is your power" Jeff  “Some of the most intimate reserved things designed to be hidden from the world...when you show it to everybody...the fear gets destroyed ” Tommy  “No one reaches out to you for compassion or empathy so you can teach them how to behave better. They reach out to us because they believe in our capacity to know our darkness well enough to sit in the dark with them.” Brené Brown  “To increase our tolerance for discomfort … you practice being uncomfortable” Brené Brown  Mentioned:  renegadedetroit.com/podcasts/story-time-with-jeff/story-time-with-jeff-ep15-origins biggerpockets.com/blogs/4527-con…private-lender ron-phillips.com  oreiaconvention.com  lisabilyeu.libsyn.com   Want to learn more about your personality?

Some years ago my wrists started hurting when I typed on my computer. I ignored the pain like any other Macho man. That was stupid and after a few years of not taking this serious, the pain was horrible and 24/7. I spent years seeing doctors, therapists, surgery and doing alternative medicines searching for a cure. And I didn't know exactly what was wrong!? The pain started in my wrists and after many years it spread to my forearms, hands, back, neck, feet! I am still not 100% sure what this is.  After many tests and doctors, I was told all sorts of things depending which doctor you believe. It may be Carpal Tunnel, repetitive stress, tendonitis, spine, neck issues and even my mind. Reading books like “It’s Not carpal Tunnel Syndrome” by Suparna Damany, physical therapy, rest, nutrition, exercise, adjusting my posture and meditation helped me. I am now able to manage the pain and I believe I will heal myself with time.  Mentioned: “It’s Not carpal Tunnel Syndrome” by Suparna Damany (damanyhealth.com/info) Borderline Idealist (borderlineidealist.com) The Art of Authenticity || Emotions | Health | Success | Philosophy | Fulfillment: Dr. Shefali Tsabary: Conscious Parenting ( artofauthenticity.libsyn.com/dr-shefali-tsabary ) "Relaxing Piano Music"  Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   Want to learn more about your personality?

I had some misunderstandings about introverts.  I thought I was an introvert but really what does that mean? I thought I was stuck! I am not just an introvert its way more complicted.  We screw up all the time. I used to be too critical of myself for messing up. If I did something stupid I would criticize myself harshly.  Its ok to mess up  Thank you AJ and Christian at the Borderline Idealist podcast for inspiring me to continue recording!  Want to learn more about your personality?
