Hello and welcome everyone. Welcome to episode 8 on the 8th of May, which also happens to be my birthday. I'm actually recording this on the 7th of May, but today's my birthday, as in Friday the 8th of May, which is a very special day. I feel it's a very fucking special day. Now, as far as my knowledge is concerned, I feel that's also the day that World War II ended. So great day, great fucking day. I feel it's a very fucking special day. Now, as far as my knowledge is concerned,

0:21.7

I feel that's also the day that World War II ended. So great day, great fucking day.

0:25.7

Anyway, I thought very last minute, very fucking last minute, mind you, that I would kind of

0:32.3

slap together this podcast just for like a birthday potty, just because I was going through my like ritual

0:40.3

of what I do when it's my birthday which I'm about to obviously go into detail and I kind of thought

0:46.4

this kind of falls in line with a lot of people have asked like what do you do to like set goals

0:53.5

or you know if you want like to action, what is it that you do, et cetera, et cetera.

0:58.5

1:11.2

It's like a New Year's resolution, but it's a birthday resolution, kind of.

1:15.6

I'll go into it a bit, like, pretty much.

1:17.9

What I'm trying to say is that I feel that the concept of resolution, there's a lot of people

1:24.2

being like, you don't need to start on a Monday, You don't need to start at the first of the month.

1:28.4

And I 100% agree with that.

1:30.0

I'm a huge advocate of that mentality where you don't need to wait for a day to start it.

1:35.5

But fuck, it feels good to start something fresh on the first day of the year of your birth year.

1:40.8

So this is literally no more beneficial than starting on a random Wednesday, but it's

1:48.5

kind of like a nice way to set the tone for the next year. So you either take it or leave it.

1:54.3

It literally makes no difference. I don't think it's more beneficial to start your goals at the

1:57.8

1st of January or on the day of your birthday, but I like to do it just for good times.

2:02.6

So I thought I just share what I do to kind of set up my year in advance.

2:09.0

And I've kind of tweaked it every single year.

2:10.7

It's always a little bit different and better every single time.
