In this episode, we'll discuss how false promises can damage our self-respect and personal growth, and how the 21-day turnaround can change the narrative. We'll also explore the importance of self-trust and practical strategies for building positive habits.

Today's episode will cover:

• The impact of broken promises on self-esteem, motivation, and anxiety
• How repeatedly breaking promises can lead to a cycle of self-doubt and procrastination
• The 21-Day Turnaround: a jumpstart to progress and self-respect
• The power of small steps and building positive habits
• Practical tips for staying motivated and overcoming challenges

The Cost of False Promises

• How breaking promises to ourselves can negatively impact our self-esteem, and motivation, and increase anxiety.
• Creates a Cycle of Failure: We explain how repeatedly breaking promises can lead to a vicious cycle of self-doubt and procrastination. The momentum of negativity can be strong, but we must focus on consistently doing what truly matters.

The 21-Day Turnaround: A Jumpstart to Progress and Self-Respect

• What it is: The 21-Day Turnaround is a program designed to help you build key habits in the four most important areas of your life: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical.

Building key habits:

• Physical: Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
• Spiritual: Start your day with the Proverb’s chapter of the day.
• Mental: Post something you're grateful for in the Thriving Man Facebook group.
• Emotional: Make a point to encourage at least one person each day.
• It can be done in under an hour a day.
• If you miss a day, you have to start over from the beginning
• The key is to focus on growth.
• Every man's greatest battle is always within himself. We'll discuss the significance of these core four areas in more detail next week.

The Power of Small Steps

• We explain the benefits of breaking down large goals into smaller, more manageable tasks. This makes them more achievable and valuable.
• Everyone starts small and then increases; like training for a triathlon by gradually increasing the distance each week.

Building Positive Habits

• We highlight the importance of focusing on a few habits at a time and gradually building momentum. Focus and simplify!
• Do each chosen habit every day to build consistency.

Overcoming Obstacles

• We provide practical tips for staying motivated and overcoming challenges.
• Reframe challenges as opportunities for growth.
• "Failure is only the opportunity to begin again. Only this time, more wisely." - Uncle Iroh (from Avatar: The Last Airbender)
• Overcoming obstacles is an individual journey but we all need support. The Thriving Man Facebook Group is a great resource for support and encouragement.

Thriving Man...

In this episode, we discuss the importance of the relationships between men and women. We talk about how focusing on one woman, being a student of her, and going on a journey of discovery together can lead to a more fulfilling relationship.

Main Points

Focus on one woman: Don't try to understand all women. Instead, focus on understanding the woman in your life. This will help you build a stronger relationship with her.

Be a student of your woman: This means taking the time to get to know her for who she is as an individual. Pay attention to her likes, dislikes, and dreams.

Relationships are a journey: Don't see your relationship as a destination. It's an adventure that you and your partner will embark on together. There will be ups and downs, but if you focus on learning from each other and growing together, your relationship will thrive.

Outline

Why understanding women is the wrong approach

• All women are different
• Focus on understanding your wife/girlfriend

Keys to take relationships to the next level

Focus - avoid Tinder culture and distractions

• Married men: focus on your wife
• Single men: focus on getting to know the real woman

Study - become a student of your woman

• Dating: get to know her for who she is
• Marriage: continue to learn and grow together
• Keep notes on her preferences

Journey - relationships are an adventure

• Open world vs linear world in gaming
• Discover each other's individuality
• Face challenges and celebrations together

Challenge

Dating: what is your goal? Win the girl or get to know her?

Married: get curious, ask questions, take notes, be intentional
