It takes courage to show vulnerability and express your emotions. And being in touch with them can help you navigate life's ups and downs with more grace and resilience.

So embrace them as they come and take pride in your ability to feel deeply. 🤍

Our emotions can provide us with valuable information about our current needs and desires. They help us connect with others on a deeper level. And the way we respond to our emotions can make all the difference in our lives.

So remember:

Emotions are not good or bad in themselves. It's what we do with them that matters most. ☁

Our decisions and actions can have ripple effects that extend far beyond ourselves. Let's be mindful of how our choices impact those around us. Tread carefully ☁

Taking a moment to breathe and reflect before responding in stressful situations can make all the difference in the outcome. Even 5-10 seconds can already change a lot.

When we take a step back, we gain perspective and can choose a response that aligns with our values, rather than reacting out of fear or anger. ☁

Here’s another solo episode where I share my recent experience playing the Ascended mod of Elden Ring and how it’s been making me relive my 2018 struggle of dealing with stress and frustration.

P.S. To emphasize how hard this mod is, as of this episode’s release date, I am level 555 in the game 💀

Are your current settings hindering or helping you reach your goals?

Remember:

Your ultimate happiness and success start from the inside, and you're the one in control.

Unlocking the life you truly desire starts with making positive changes within yourself first.

So make sure you take the time to reevaluate…and recalibrate. ⚙

13/04/2023

Take a moment to reflect and ask yourself:

Is what I’m doing positively contributing to the life I want to live?

Your choices today can change the direction of your future, so make them wisely and with intention. ✨

Gamers know how much time we can spend just adjusting all of our settings - from character creation to adjusting the audio, graphics, and key bindings, we do a lot to make sure we can get smooth gameplay and have a great time while playing video games.

But how about taking the time to adjust and evaluate our own settings? This is something that I’ve dug deeper into the past 3 months, mostly because of things that aren’t so great but…that is also why I wanted to talk about it this week.

Ever wondered why some people seem to take responsibility and control of their lives, while others feel powerless and result to complaining and blaming?

It's all comes down to whether you have an internal or external locus of control.

Internal locus of control means you believe your actions determine your outcomes, while external locus of control means you think external factors (like luck or other people) control your fate.

This is also a concept that Tristan shared on the podcast.

When playing team-based video games, he has encountered players that whenever they make a mistake, blame everyone else but themselves.

On the other hand, he’s also played with people that hold themselves accountable and still try to support the team in the best way possible.

In those instances, he can tell which people have an internal or external locus of control.

Which one do you currently operate on?
