You're listening to Operation Self-Reset. It has been a while, but let's get after it.

What is going on, you freaking awesome people. Welcome back to Operation Self-Reset. I should truly say that it's more of a welcome back for me. I have been MIA in the podcasting space. Why? I really don't know. I think it's one of those things. It's always been on my mind. I always think about it every single day. I got to do a podcast. I got to do a podcast. And I'm trying to

always build into my schedule time to do the podcast, but it's kind of difficult. And I don't want to

say give you guys excuses because excuses are like boogers. Everybody has one. We truly do. And I think

when it comes to us trying to move forward or us trying to

do something or to change a routine or to get better at something, we know that it takes time to

invest. And we always find excuses on why we shouldn't do it. I'm too busy. I'm tired. I don't feel good.

I need to watch this TV show. It's been a while since I haven't watched a movie. You know what? I'm going to have a couple of alcoholic cocktails tonight. I'm going to go out with my friends. It's a friend's birthday party. It's a work event. Whatever the case may be. And unfortunately, when we don't have a routine or a system,

we let those other things filter into our life. And for me, it's not that I have lost the passion

or the desire or the want to do a podcast. It actually is to the effect of what I just said.

Other things took priority even though I knew that this was a priority.

And isn't that funny?

When we look and reflect on our lives, there are things that we know we should be doing on a regular basis.

We know we should be a better human being.

We know we should take care of our body. We know we shouldn't be drinking every single night of the week. We know we shouldn't be watching Netflix

binging hour after hour. We know we shouldn't be looking at our cell phones right before we go to

bed or the first thing when we wake up. We know these things. We're not dumb individuals.

We're not stupid in any way.

We just choose not to lead ourselves.

And way back when I reflect on the overall podcast and when I started,

I kind of had this system and it was based off of your left hand.

It was called the self-reset slap.
