Week 33

I was triggered when someone disagreed with one of the ideas in my article.

It reminded me of my desire to get into debates or arguments with someone, not so I can show them how I’m right and they’re wrong…but more about finding the weakness in my argument. But a lot of times, that comes off the wrong way. I display myself more like someone who is too attached to their own ideas and who isn’t willing to admit they’re wrong.

In this instance, it was some neuroscientist from UCLA.

I wanna think he is smart. But because his argument against mine was “weak”, it makes me wonder, “Is he even smart? Or maybe he is a fake neuroscientist?”

Here’s the article I refer to [link here].

And here’s the thing, while that irritated me, I also prefer that kind of comment as opposed to someone who automatically agrees with me.

Alex Hormozi and free.

I attended his book launch online to get a gist of what his new book is about. I already heard good reviews about his first book. I wanna buy it. So I’m hoping this book launch will push me to swipe my credit card.

At the end part of the launch, I was ready to swipe my card.

Then he goes—since you guys attended, it’s FREE.!

My jaw dropped. Feelings of appreciation came out of me and treasure the knowledge that was shared.

I felt pain in my knees which made me think about gout flare-ups! Why?

I haven’t been eating healthy. A lot of times, I eat food that is swimming in sauce or peppered with too much seasoning. Plus, I’m almost always sleep-deprived. Plus, I’m not drinking enough water.

False alarm — the pain was gone the next day.

Dismissing that worry would’ve been a waste. It’s more helpful to use it as a reminder that I’m getting old.
