How Can We Consistently Fill Our Cup & Live Life By Design?

What is draining energy? STOP DOING IT

What gives you energy? DO IT WITH RELENTLESS CONSISTENCY.

Can life really be that simple? Identifying in life what gives you energy. What fuels your soul? What fills your cup?

Sahil Bloom repeatedly emphasizes the importance of leaning into what gives you energy. Sahil asks “what feels easy?” Not easy as in it doesn’t take effort. Easy as in you feel that pull towards it. The pull is that thing burning inside of you like a campfire that is begging you to put more logs on. Pulling you to wake up early, stay up late, and block off time to get some 1 on 1 time.

Discover the pull by first identifying what gives you energy or what fills your cup right now at this moment. Then Vince Carter 360 windmill slam dunk on those consistently.

After recording a recent podcast episode with my good friend Dirk Van der Velde I have become more clear on what brings me energy.

Creating a visual has been powerful. Visualizing my 6 as a 6-pack of cans with the plastic holder clipped on top that holds them all together. That holder keeps everything together, that holder is the consistency.

Define the 6 & Consistently Fill Them up.

1. Write - daily practice getting thoughts to paper and improving the craft. Invest in the skill of writing, communicating, & clarity. (Ferate Newsletter)

2. Podcast - invest in asking great questions & deep meaningful conversations (The Bryant Ferate Podcast)

3. Coach - teach, educate, empower. (3-Part Stagecoach)

4. Connect - who did I deeply connect with today? investing in my relationships. (Be The Friend.)

5. Curious - what did I learn today? what is interesting? what questions am I asking? (Richness of life Quote)

6. Value My Health - The greatest self-investment. Compound interest in my physical & mental wealth. Training, jiujitsu, running, nature, sunlight, sleep, and high-quality foods.

What gives you energy? What feels easy? What fills your cup?

How are you consistently doing these and making sure they stay in your life?

In asking those questions, it is important to not only identify what they are but to also define what they mean to you. Unpacking each one specifically to have clarity on what actions to consistently take to be the best version of you and start consistency streaks. Especially when we go through transitions or enter new chapters of our life. As we grow and evolve remember to come back to the questions and answer them.

The process can shine a light on doors of opportunity that you might not even see yet.

Cheers to consistently filling the 6 for the rest of 2022 (October, November, & December). Interested in others’ responses to these questions, how you stay consistent, and your process for discovering during different points of your life.

Best Day of The Year… Until Tomorrow.
