The Bryson Every Day Project

194. Same Place, Different Man

11:03pm, April 30th, 2024, Car, UT
I’m faced with the same opportunities in life as I was years ago. This time, I am immensely more equipped to handle what is in front of me. That is so exciting for me to think about and realize. I'm very proud of how far I’ve come. But this is the start of the next chapter. So here we go!

193. Resilience

8:29pm, April 29th, 2024, Desk, UT
Discipline will always be king, but resilience is up there. Your ability to bounce back in times of adversity and times of extreme hardship is going to help for damn sure. I’ve done a lot of “practice” to get my resilience up. Ice baths have been a huge factor in that. Developing resilience I think has been one of the most valuable things I could’ve done so far.
1 day out from chapter X in my life. Sad but not sad at all? Stoked? Ready? All the above.

192. Coming to Terms With the Life I Chose

8:55pm, April 28th, 2024, Desk, UT
Spent the day packing and getting ready. Super hyped. As I record this, my room is empty and is echoing. While I’m feeling “sad” for sure, it’s much easier knowing that I am moving onto a new chapter of life and im doing so absolutely having crushed the last chapter. I have proof that I can do hard shit. I remind myself of that every day by indirectly following my powerlist. 
Also thinking about the life I’ve chosen and the path I want to follow. It feels damn good being so sure of where I;m headed. I know it’s going to be brutal. But damn man, we get one life. We’re all going to die anyway. None of us will be here in 100 years. The earth is going to explode one day. Just do what you wanna do and live an epic life. Fuck the rest. Let’s go. 2 days out.

191. Perspective Shift In Sh*tty Situations

10:25pm, April 27th, 2024, Car To Gym From Work, UT
Even when I record the episode earlier in the day I still don’t type this shit out till it’s too late. Damn I blow. 
Been having a lot of thoughts that just serve as a great reframe when in what we call “shitty situations” like traffic. One hell of a day today but I pushed through and got everything done as planned. 1 year ago I would have folded the second I got off work. So cool to look back and see actual, real growth in myself.
 

190. Never Putting Anything On My Walls Again

10:04pm, April 26th, 2024, Desk, UT
Adhesive sound-proofing panels don’t come off easily. This is some horseshit. Got a few ideas for some episodes coming up as well as changing the intro outro to be more concise and to the point. New chapter in life requires a new change in the shits on the podcast(s). So here we go. 

189. Laziness & Procrastination = Sh*t Life

10:11pm, April 25th, 2024, Desk, UT
Putting any task off till later is just a shitty idea. Putting any task off till later that is also very hard to do.. That’s a very shitty idea. Maybe I’ll learn soon. Short and sweet. Just being lazy.

188. Growing Pains = Need

8:09pm, April 24th, 2024, Desk, UT
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA! SUPPORT YOUR SON AND LISTEN TO HIS SHOWS! 
As I sit and pack my stuff up for my third run at having my very own place, I think about how the last 5 times moving went. Full of sadness and aimlessness. I was just a lost soul searching for something that was within me the entire time. Those are some of the truest words that have ever come out of my mouth too. I’ve since found that within myself and have progressed immeasurably. I am so stoked about this move now. A new chapter of life with new challenges, stress, and rewards. 6 days left!

187. “We Miss The Old Bryson…”

5:14pm, April 23rd, 2024, Car Ride to Gym, UT
Straight up, not a huge fan of writing these podcast captions. Kind of tedious to do every single damn time, but it is what it is. One thing I want to point out with this fact alone is that I am now feeling that annoyance of this task after 187 episodes. Which indicates that I don’t actually feel that way, I’m just in a headspace that is not serving me. Why all the sudden would it be a pain in the pass or tedious to get this done? I’ve not felt that wat much at all for 187 straight episodes. Keep your mentality in check and check in on yourself. Just caught myself in some bullshit complaining. 
Anyway, a family member told me they don’t know who this new Bryson is. They miss the old Bryson.
They wouldn’t be saying that if I hadn’t actually changed and made that much progress to be seen as “different.” So that’s a HUGE win for the perspective of myself to keep moving forward.
Kind of a right hook to the dome in another sense too. I worked hard to get to where I am right now, and they said they miss how I used to be? I’ve grown, matured, and worked my ass off to be in my position of self development and vision. And that’s not appreciated? Damn. Oh well dude. Keep ‘er movin’.

186. Mini Update - What I’m Doin

8:16pm, April 22nd, Desk, UT
Happy birthday Keybin Son.
Little update on what I’m doing at the moment. Been slacking hard to be honest. Every episode should have stuff like this one in it to be honest. Documenting what I’m doing in detail like this. Who knows. Anyway, that’s it. Short and sweet.

185. The Self Doubt Shield “I Quit Or I Die”

8:42pm, April 21st, 2024, Desk, UT
As I sit here and type this out, I wonder if I am in those grinding, golden, fun years of my life right now by going through all the things I’m doing. I’m sitting here on my bed typing all this out absolutely exhausted and all I can help with think is this is going to be a cool story in 15 years. And it would be absolutely easy for me to just give up on everything and disappear. What a shitty story that would be and what a load of regret that would be on my chest for the rest of my life.
