Hey there! Thanks for tuning in!
I've been writing about the dangers of 'giving a fuck' for many years.
Many people suffer needlessly in life, because they limit themselves (and the chances they take) because they are worried about the opinions of others.
In this article, however... I'd like to discuss how social pressure can actually be a good thing.
See, I've discovered something I like to call...
"Positive Social Pressure"
It's really simple, but really powerful!
We all have at least one change we want in our lives.
...that one change we have put off for WAY too long.
It's easy to do. Whether it's fear of failure, being a perfectionist, or even just not knowing how to take the first step
...every one of us would be a lot more productive (and fulfilled) and HAPPIER if we just DID IT.
Am I right?
'Course I'm right.
So what if I told you, that you could use social pressure in a GOOD way - to get your off your ass and actually doing the things that would make your life better?
...Would that be sweet or what?
Ok, here goes..
3 easy steps to Crushing it @ Life
1. Tell your 5 closest friends and family members exactly what you are GOING to do, and when you are going to do it by.
2. Come up with a consequence that is going to happen, if you don't deliver.
3. Go and kick ass!
It's that simple.
Ah, you want a little more?
Ok - just come up with something that will put you out of your comfort zone if you don't follow through.
* Maybe going out and walking around all day in just your underwear!
* Or maybe they get to watch you as you stand around with a huge sign in the city centre that reads "I'm a little bitch"
* Or maybe you have to shave your head!! :O
But whatever it is, this kind of 'friendly pressure' is a great way to force yourself to take those chances you absolutely KNOW you should take.
I mean we all know a few people. Why not get them involved in our personal growth?
In fact, this very strategy is an amazing way to get people who are NOT into personal growth....into personal growth! :)
And the beauty is, it's a win/win situation.
Either you accomplish your goal
OR
You have a really fun time while pushing your comfort zone (and therefore making it more likely you will succeed with future goals)
FUCK YEAH!!!
....
So, here's your homework: (Don't panic, it's not so bad!)
1. Pick any one thing you've been putting off.
2. Decide you're doing it...starting RIGHT NOW.
3. Then send an email (or call) 5 people you know and TELL them what happens (and exactly when) if you don't complete a certain challenge or take a certain step in your life.
You know you want to!
Ok...I'll go first
In fact, I just made a crazy promise to thousands of people in youtube land.
Feel free to post your crazy goal (and consequence) in the comments.....I'll be watching!
And yes, I am more than happy to give you some tips to help you achieve it!
Peace and Love, ya Sexy Steemers! :)
