Being Late Can Be Dangerous

21/12/2021 Welcome to another episode of what I have learnt today this is episode no17. In today's episode, I want to talk about how being late can be dangerous. On Mondays, I usually have a football training session and on this particular Monday, evening at about 5 pm I made sure I had saved 1 full hour dedicated to preparing to get to training on time because I was regularly late, I needed to be there by 6.30. I massaged, changed got my boots, did a few tasks here and there and before I knew it's 6:08 pm. Now I have To leave the house and be there in 22 minutes I'm not sure if I should take the bus, but If I take the bike (which will get me there in 16 minutes) I would be tired to train. The bus will take 8 minutes and a further 7-minute walk to the pitch. I decided to get the bus so I ran to the bus stop. When I got to the pedestrian stop, I clicked the pedestrian stop switch at the crossing multiple times. Then I saw the bus coming. And another one behind it. But there were so many cars I decided to wait and let them go. But then when I saw the third and last bus that goes to my stop I could not resist if I miss this one I am guaranteed to be late. I saw a gap between the cars and decided to cross even though the lights were still green, underestimating the speed of the cars. By the time I get to the middle lane, the cars suddenly got so close and the driver had no intention of slowing down that I rushed to get to the other side and almost got hit. After getting to the other side, I took a deep breath and thought about what am I doing- I'm trying to be on time because I'm late by putting my life at risk and at that moment I realised how unconscious I became of my surrounding, my emotions and my judgement. I was late to the training session anyways but I decided from then on that I don't ever want to be late again, in fact, I made sure I got to training an hour early, just to prove to myself that it's possible! This instance and other instances proved to be the consequences of being late. Because of regularly lateness, not knowingly you are enforcing the same message and belief about yourself- not being reliable, unprepared and that can be aggravated by the poor performance in my case the training session. That can reduce your self-esteem and confidence- It can feel stressful, strain relations with other people because you're unreliable and it affects your performance- you are often not focused and become apologetic about things. The reason I want to perform my best in training Is that it reflects in the game, as a result, it helps- When you are good at something you enjoy it and constantly want to improve so this was helping me physiologically. This happens because we cannot predict what happens before the meeting or session. You might do an urgent and immediate task here and there and find out later how time-consuming that action was. Or might underestimate how long a journey can take. So being early is part of preparation because then you are focused, you perform the task at hand better, less stressed, safer, confident and it will help you in the future when you need to be somewhere important. And so that's it for this episode, You can follow me on Instagram at @whiltpod and also you can visit my blogs on <a href="http://whilt.blog/" target="_blank">Whilt.blog</a>. Thank you for reading and see you on to the next one! #podcast #learnt #WHILT #whatihavelearnttoday #spotify #applepodcast #googlepodcast

Start Small to Achieve BIG

Starting Small to Achieve Big When I started this podcast I set the goal of making at least 10 episodes before I see any of the stats- Initially, my goal was to get 10 listeners. Over time, not only did I achieve that but I got a better understanding of how to put together episodes, how to script, Edit and write blogs. If you have a big goal like, starting a business in 2 months or get 10000 listeners on your podcast by episode 50, or to finish a project, job, task whatever it is, you should start small. Imagine that you need to boil or freeze the ocean how would you do it? The reason why you start small is that you will be able to complete the task, be consistent and make progress at it, and during the process, you will learn whatever your goal is how to do it better step by step. As an example, when I was trying to start a business that required a big initial investment- I had a mentor who saw that I was skipping some steps. He asked me what stage do you think you are on a scale of 1 to 10 in your business plan, I said 2, then he said to me now we are going to go to step 3, not step 4 or 6, step 3 and that step was to survey whether people needed the service. Once that is done then we go to step 4. This is a great way to explain that this journey is gradual, I'm going to learn stuff along that journey that can help me drift the plan in the right direction, this is the same with starting a podcast, a business, a project or even a self-development plan.  A prime example and inspiration for me was Kobe Bryant, he talks about setting small goals in his game for example like focusing on his posture when guarding someone or shooting from a particular spot to be in the best form possible for the next game. This is to increase the chances of him winning that game by being prepared in the best possible way. And one thing he does that I have been using is his recovery method. Which he does after every game and that is to put ice on his knees, calves and shoulders so that he can recover a lot quicker before the next game. By doing this he is trying to improve by 1 per cent every day to help him perform in all types of conditions and at his peak. He does this after winning and losing. Procrastination comes from Negative Emotions The other thing I've learned is the reasons why we procrastinate, we procrastinate because of negative emotions and from those emerges more negative emotions, causing a spiral of negative emotions to the point where simple everyday tasks become difficult. By procrastinating, we tend to avoid those negative emotions because we think it makes us feel worse, so the brain distracts us from doing that task. Research done by Shira Pollack and Herres demonstrates that negative emotions motivate procrastination behaviour.  "The current ﬁndings suggest a need for interventions that focus on emotion regulation strategies that help to reduce NA(negative Affects). Teaching students that procrastination may occur in response to distress emphasizes aﬀect regulation over other behavioural changes that may not get to the heart of the problem, such as learning good study habits." So by understanding how our emotions change towards the activity or the task at hand we can find ways to motivate ourselves by focusing on the bigger picture in addition, to the reasons WHY we started that activity or task. Here's more to the research if you want to read it.

Slow down to go further

Slow Down To Go Further My first less is that More effort does not always equal more progress. This is not the full story, sometimes slowing down can help refreshen up physically- in sports athletes slow down in order to enjoy what they do and to clear the blood lactate as well as clear up the mind so that they can be sharp and perform at their peak. They also use this lesson to learn a new skill, for example, I remember in the mamba mentality book, Kobe mentions that he starts easy and slowly from the rim and then gets further and quicker to build up to the same intensity of a real game. This approach can be used in life generally as well, to enhance the quality of your work and focusing on doing it well (this is usually what separates the best from the rest). You are much more likely to continue something if you enjoy doing it sustainably over long period of time, so slowing down to reset can help you achieve your goal in the long term. Mentally slowing down is the best way to gain clarity and focus on the task at hand. I saw a quote that says "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" Hunger For Trying New Things My second lesson is having the curiosity to try new things and going deeper to understand what you like and what you don't like. That, I learned can help to shape your future with better judgement and experience about the things you want to do. See it's okay to not know what you want to do in life- which is great because then you go and explore to understand not only the world around you but also to understand yourself better, and that's why you test different things at every spectrum whether that is a subject or idea, job, book, project or even a hobby. This is not only something that helps you understand your limits but it opens up the potential since now that you know what you are capable of doing, it allows you to be optimistic about a way to find a solution. Trying something and learning from it opens up the door to allow you to make better decisions for your present and future in addition, to that it allows you to live life to the fullest. Useful Sources Here is a Great Article that I Have found that explains the benefits of slowing down. <a href="https://mindfulambition.net/slow-down/">The Paradox of Slowing Down to Go Farther | Mindful Ambition</a> #kobe #mambamentality #slowdown #togetfurther #live #life #tothefullest
