I changed my life in 6 months (and you can too). | The No Plan B Journey Finale Episode

I changed my life in six months and this is how I did it six months ago I set out on a no plan B journey to make the uncomfortable comfortable do things that matter to me and fearlessly pursue plan a i dedicated six months to becoming the best version of me into achieving my goals overcome self-doubt break habits of mediocrity make six friends and launch my business did I achieve them well we'll get into that later little did I know that I enter a new era of my life that would change me forever I feel

like I'm growing but not in the way that I want to be or not towards the place I want to be I'm not pushing my potential and to me that feels really strange and I don't like it to put it quite simply let me show you the momentous growth and changes that occurred over the last six months in forms of six lessons let's do it [Music] thank you [Music] don't let fear keep you in the same place push past the scary feelings and keep your head where your feet are that is what I kept telling

myself throughout the journey just push past the fears Lizzy and keep on going you got to keep on going fear is only trying to keep us in the same place and I was ridden with fear the fear of failure the fear I'm not doing enough the fear of rejection and the fear of never becoming the person I want to be I was afraid of disappointing myself I had all these goals but what if I couldn't achieve them what if I failed at making my dreams come true I would just prove to everyone who's doubted me

that they were right those Waters had me in a Chokehold and I could never seem to escape a little voices on my head telling me that I was not good enough that little voice was a feel to my self-doubt and I kept the fire burning for way too long self-doubt is an excuse for us to not take action it is the driving force of mediocrity I can't so I won't I couldn't so I shouldn't blah blah blah all I hear are excuses imagine letting that little voice dictate how you move through the world allowing it

to stop you from showing up as your true best self yeah I was not going to let that happen which is why I embarked on a no plan B journey to smother that little voice once and for all she was getting really annoying I did things that scared the living bejesus out of me and it was not fun to face my fears I launched my business to Power Club within a month I overcame a perfectionism by being purposely imperfect I forced myself to speak up meetings and to meet new people despite being a little shy

introvert at times and I acted on everything I set my mind to no matter how fearful I felt I refused to let fear keep me in the same place so I used fear as fuel to push me ahead I still have fears but my fears are no longer in forms of self-doubt they are now in forms of chances the chance to grow to change and to strengthen it is okay to have fears the goal is not to be Fearless it is to fear less fear is a great growth motivator it keeps us alert alive and

attuned with who we are and who we can be my goal was to overcome self-doubt and I did it that little voice is gone and it is a place with a booming voice that tells me that I can do it and that I am doing it fear is not an excuse to not take action it is an excuse to take a chance on you [Music] how do you expect your life to change if you don't change level up your values and actions first everything else will follow Ali abdall once talked about thinking of ourselves as

systems or machines he said to make a computer work twice as fast you change its code and system you don't tell it to try harder yet we too often think we need to try harder when our actions do not result in the outcomes we want we slam our fists on the try harder button and yell let's run it again failing to see that we're not the problem our systems are once I understood this the quality of my life did a 180 I approached every Avenue of my life in terms of systems and I unlocked the

key to solving any problem I like to ask myself if this isn't working for me how can I make it work for me what can I do to make it easier to do that thing I'll give you an example I was having a really hard time waking up early in the morning I was waking up but it was hard to wake up I was snoozing alarms until I couldn't anymore I had to put my phone across the room and I had to leave sticky notes All Around My Room and on my phone reminded me to

not go back to bed post alarm did they work sure sometimes but it was hard and unenjoyable I continued pressing the try harder button expecting things to change they didn't of course because how do you expect life to change if you don't change I kept at this insane behavior until I came across a Cajun koi Academy video where they talked about instead of setting a wake-up time set a bedtime and you guys my life changed overnight literally since then I've never had a hard time waking up whenever I sleep at my bedtime you've probably heard

people say we are the product of our environment well we are also the product of our systems when our systems are efficient and effective we are also efficient and effective and when our systems don't work it doesn't mean that we're not trying hard enough it just means that the system is not aligned with expected outcomes and we need to change it so one of the biggest skills I honed with the journey is knowing when and how to change my systems I don't press the try harder button I pinpoint the problem research the problem and change

the code I may need to change the code a few times before landing on the one that works but as long as I'm trying to change the system and to solve the problem I always figure it out be so good they can't ignore you I help this advice high above as my shiny North Star and followed it closely throughout the journey what does it mean to be so good how does one become so good the definition of good is subjective based on personal goals and perspectives so Define good however you want but I do know

how to become good at least I think I do to become so good you must welcome discomfort and be extraordinary discomfort is the gateway to success and nothing great comes from doing something easy and ordinary one must do extra to be extraordinary this makes sense if you want to be so good they can't ignore you you must have a reason for them to not ignore you who's a planner I know I am I love planning my steps on how to get from point A to point B being a planner is beneficial in many cases but

not when you want to be so good that can't ignore you an attempt to be so good planning is just another productive procrastination tactic to not take action oh I must know what to do before I do it um no you don't take action first then figure out what to do down the line being extraordinary requires extra hours extra effort and extra dedication not extra planning extra waiting and extra pondering no one knows what they're really doing step over that mind bump and start climbing now that's the only way to become so good tolerant with

others strict with self one thing I like about myself is my assiduous attitude I'm hard on myself but I'm understanding of others I build a moat on my emotions but I'm compassionate with how others Express theirs I trenched through discomfort but I try to never make others feel uncomfortable I believe being Insidious strengthens mental gain and builds self-reliance and it generates compassion and confidence people deserve the best version of me I deserve to be the best version of me I don't go easy on myself I don't make excuses when a problem happens I solve it

for example when I'm getting a little fluffy I work out when I am mentally blocked I meditate and do self therapy what I feel spiritually disconnected from my soul and surroundings I let go of the expected and live in the present what I do is for myself but the best version of me is to share it is important to be strict on how I show up every day because my ultimate goal is to make every moment count and what my situous attitude I definitely made the most out of the snow Plan B Journey how can

I benefit this movement Ryan Trahan said this once in a completely changed my outlook on how I want to show up instead of seeking for emotions and feelings I want to experience whether that is happiness peace or Joy how can I create those emotions and feelings for others to experience how can I be the light and bring more bliss to life well first things first I must be responsible for my emotions I learned to be non-reactive and to think before I feel is this emotion serving me if not then it's probably not serving anyone else

secondly I learned to live presently the present moment is always the better moment I realized that I didn't need to chase this better version of me I'm already her I am who I want to be and when I finally understood this I became a better calmer and warmer person I became the happiness piece and joy that I used to see for and I want to continue finding more meaningful ways to benefit the moment Bliss is so contagious and I want to spread it by thinking positively seeing life's Beauty and saying kind things when you want

something you are given the opportunity to achieve what you want if you want courage you will be presented with your worst fear if you want love you will question your Worth and be heartbroken if you want success you will be placed under pressure and tempted by Pleasure if you want peace you'll be interrupted and your patience will be tested I wanted to overcome self-doubt so I was given many rejections and challenged by many situations that heightened my doubts about myself but these rejections were opportunities and opportunities are only given to those who are ready and

the more we want something the more we have to give in order to receive the no plumpy Journey taught me how to overcome self-doubt it taught me how to think in terms of system to solve my blocks I learned how to convert challenges into opportunities for example perfectionism was stopping me from launching the power up Club so I gave myself one month to build a business and to execute it I wanted to break habits of mediocrity so I fixed my problems by reading books listening to podcasts and trying again and again after each failure I

want to grow my circle so I made it a goal to make six new friends and got my introverted booty out there I was crippled with self-doubt so I embarked on a six-month journey to do everything in my power to overcome it these were challenges turned into goals that were converted into opportunities to help me achieve my wants when we want something when we want to be so good at Ken Norris when we want to change and benefit the moment we have to do the internal work and show up every single day throughout the journey

I was always very excited and eager to learn and listen every single day I moved through life as a person I presently am and I was very zealous to make every day count and I was definitely very ambitiously action driven I found Bliss by detaching from outcomes and I learned to be enterprising because life always has other plans I also found trust Within Myself I trust that I can grow under any condition and finally I learn and I'm still learning how can I benefit the moment the no plan B Journey kick-started a new self Evolution

journey I fell in love with myself all over again and I discovered that I'm pretty good at facing my fears there's no doubt in that I've been doing that for the past six months so you may be wondering what's next Lizzy another Journey well maybe I'll see what happens Amy has something in mind but until then I'll continue to carry everything I've learned throughout this journey and to show up every single day thank you for sticking on my side throughout this whole entire Journey it was really cool to have you guys there and for some
