It's Friday and Adam W. Barney, Energy Coach just got introduced to his revisions editor for Make Your Own Glass Half Full. This brings him around to talk about feedback, and how to take feedback, and he even bungles a reference to Jay-Z by saying it was Snoop Dogg. Who needs a nap?
Anyway, feedback can feel overwhelming, but a structure and plan for how you take that feedback and evolve can decrease the weighty feeling.
Adam W. Barney, Energy Coach, is back after a long break and he talks about his experience with finishing up the presale for the upcoming fundraiser event, Make Your Own Glass Half Full. He also shares some tips on how to get back into the swing of things after kids have been on break for a week. This recording was made during a morning walk with his two dogs, Welly and Winter, on a beautiful late-February day that feels like spring. You might hear a slight jangle of dog tags in the background.
Adam W. Barney, Energy Coach and author of the upcoming book Make Your Own Glass Half Full starts his journey with Build In Public Daily by (appropriately) talking about the concept of "just start."
Strap in! Let's go!
Motivational speakers often miss the mark, claiming it's all on us. Sure, there's truth to that, but we can't do it alone. Partnering with God is essential – praying like it's all on Him and working like it's all on us. When we attach spiritual meaning to our goals, achieving them becomes possible. Doing it alone is a recipe for failure.
My wife shared this wisdom, reminding me during tough times that I must partner with God. Knowing He's looking out for me provides reassurance. Even if things don't go as planned, trusting His plan helps me see the benefits, even in difficult situations.
In today's episode, we delve into the concept of individualized learning and personal growth. It's essential to understand that all learning, whether it takes place in a classroom or through various mediums like podcasts, is deeply personal. Each individual interprets and takes away lessons based on their unique perspectives and life experiences. We often overlook this crucial aspect, especially in the field of education. We tend to search for a one-size-fits-all solution or answer, forgetting that everyone learns in their own distinctive way. Even when revisiting familiar texts or books later in life, such as the Bible or the Book of Mormon, we can acquire new insights that impact us differently than before. Learning and personal development are not bound by age or timing. Some individuals may only realize the need for change when they reach their 40s or 90s, while others may learn the same lesson much earlier in life. It's vital to acknowledge and accept that each person is on their individual path, and comparison to others is neither helpful nor productive. By embracing and recognizing this truth early on, we can greatly enhance our personal lives. So, let's dive into this topic and explore the importance of individualized learning and personal growth.
In this episode, I delve into the powerful concept of how light always triumphs over darkness. I reflect on my own experiences with taking cold plunges, where sometimes it can be difficult to gather the courage to jump into the cold water. Despite the initial hesitation, I find that I can handle it and it's truly amazing. Drawing from my time living in Fairbanks, Alaska, I recall the common complaint about the darkness during the winter months. With the sun only up for a few hours, it could be challenging for some. However, I discovered that even in the darkness, the light always triumphs. The light, no matter how low, is always stronger than the darkness. Even during the summer, there was always some form of light, preventing it from completely getting dark. This concept goes beyond physical light and darkness—it applies to our lives as well. There will be moments when the darkness pushes us to avoid or give up on things. However, whenever we invite light into our lives, it immediately chases away the darkness. Light and darkness cannot coexist. It's not just a cool idea; it's an undeniable fact. This belief holds incredible power and empowerment. No matter how dark our lives may seem, all it takes is a little bit of light to start dispelling the darkness. This realization brings comfort during personal struggles and serves as a reminder that we have the ability to overcome and thrive in the face of challenges.
Cold Plunge Thoughts. To lose 70 pounds and keep it off, I eat 1820 calories daily. That's 200 grams of protein, 160 grams of carbs, and 47 grams of fat. I eat the same foods every day.
For breakfast, I have egg whites with veggies like spinach, peppers, onions, and ground turkey. I cook about 438 grams of egg whites from Costco. For dinner, I eat a salad with protein like chicken, ham, or tuna. The salad has spring mix, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
For lunch, I eat different foods like lunch meat. I know I'll have egg whites for breakfast and salad for dinner. I also enjoy a Greek yogurt dessert with flavored protein powder and whipped cream.
By eating the same foods daily, I reach my goals and keep the weight off. It's better than being overweight even if it seems boring to eat the same meals every day.
