Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes 9-Question System That Changes Everything August 26, 2025 | Episode 5167 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott's fired up about a tool that most people won't actually use, but those who do will experience a complete awakening. Meet the daily awareness diary - not your typical journal, but a powerful 9-question system that reveals patterns you never knew existed. In just 9 minutes each morning, you'll gain crystal-clear awareness of what's really happening in your life. Fair warning: you might discover some things that'll make you say, "Man, why do I keep doing that?" But that's exactly where the magic begins. Featured Story Scott introduces his cornerstone coaching tool - the daily awareness diary that every single client starts with. Within just a couple of weeks, everything becomes clear. This isn't about checking items off a list; it's about creating what you actually want. From retrospection to personal affirmations, each question builds on the last, creating a powerful awareness stack that reveals both your blind spots and your untapped potential. The result? You'll start spotting patterns that demand change, and you can't stare truth in the face without taking action. Important Points The daily awareness diary consists of nine specific questions designed to create awareness, not overwhelm you with homework - just capture the moment in 30-60 seconds per question. The system combines retrospection (how did yesterday go?) with prospection (what do I want to create today?) to help you recognize patterns and make intentional changes. Pre-planned responses eliminate surprises by thinking through potential interactions in advance, giving you control over your day and removing the element of being caught off guard. Memorable Quotes "You can't become aware of stuff you want to change in your life and keep looking at it, staring it straight in the face and not change it." "You are a human, which means you are unique. You can prospectively create things every single day." "After about 30 days of doing this, people look back and go, 'Wow, look, I have 30 affirmations personally written by me for me.'" Scott's Three-Step Approach Start each morning with retrospection by asking, "How did yesterday go?" - focus on whether you created what you wanted rather than just checking off tasks. Move into prospection by asking, "What do I want to create today?" - remember, you're uniquely human and can literally create experiences, relationships, or feelings. Conclude with a personal affirmation that captures everything from your nine questions, creating a powerful daily reminder of your progress and potential.

0:22.9

Never.

0:21.1

Today, I'm going to give you a tool. Now, I don't think most people are going to do this. I think you're going to listen to it and learn from it. Some of you will take some notes along the way. Most will say, whatever, if I can do this, too much work. but if you do, I'm going to enlighten you in ways that you have not been before.

0:38.3

Make you more aware of what's going on in your life that maybe you even can even think

0:43.4

as we get going it is a daily boost from motivation to move dot com 20 years the studio here, doing what works. And that's really what it amounts to. There's a lot of stuff you can do to, you know, kind of quotes, you know, make your life better, that kind of thing. Not all of it works for everybody. Some of what works at a different time in your life. But everything we do here works. I don't teach anything that I haven't done myself or

1:10.8

stand behind or teach other people to do and stand behind them. My name is Scott Smith. Good to have you today. Let's go ahead and dive in, huh? So the Daily Awareness Diary, is it a journal? Not really. Do you journal? You can do this as well, okay? This is not a journal. So if you don't like the journal, don't worry about it. If you do journal, you can add this on for a week or two or three, whatever you want to do.

1:11.7

This is not a journal. So if you don't like to journal, don't worry about it. If you do journal, you can add this on for a week or two or three, whatever you want to do. This is all about asking a very specific series of questions with a very specific reason behind them to make you very aware of what's going on in your life. If you'll be honest, you'll see things that will pop up that are just like, man, why do I keep doing that? Or maybe I should do that more. So every single person who comes into my world, as a maybe in one of my coaching groups, or they come in as a personal coaching client, they will all start with a daily awareness diary. The reason is within a matter of a couple of weeks, we see everything clearly. Well, there you go. That's my sales pitch. Do it.

Get up in the morning, spend nine minutes doing this for you and answer the same question every single day.

2:13.6

Yes, you can take weekends off if you want to, okay? So in my daily awareness

2:17.7

I read the very first question I ask is retrospection. Retrospectively, how did yesterday go?

2:24.7

So what we're doing is we're looking back and instead of saying, did I check it off a list?

2:28.3

We're saying, did I create what I want instead? How do I feel about what happened yesterday?

2:32.3

If I got up and had a big week and I planned my week, yesterday was it working out the way I wanted it to go?

2:39.6

Retrospection is a very different way of looking at the day before.

2:43.1

It's not just checking off the list.
