Alpha got his ass kicked by 2020 — both professionally and financially. In this video men’s style, grooming, fitness, and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM https://iamalpham.com/ AaronMarino https://aaronmarino.com/ Pete & Pedro https://peteandpedro.com/ Tiege Hanley https://www.tiege.com/and ENEMY https://enemy.com/ says he knows he’s not alone! Truthfully, this year was challenging on everyone — not getting to see friends & family, not doing things you get joy out of, and letting things slide that you needed more attention. Alpha has come to realize that he had more control than he realized, and now he is going to take more control in 2021 to make some changes.
Take more control in the new year
- Stop drinking alcohol — he’s increased frequency and consumption, and as a result, he doesn’t feel as good or energetic.
- Get up earlier — he’s been getting up later due to working from home. He only got up today because a cat was walking on his head — he slept until 7:30 am. He hasn’t been doing his regular morning routine too.
- Get back into better shape — he feels he’s gotten heavier (body fat percentage) and lost muscle. His diet is still good, but he’s been snacking & munching more than usual. It’s time to say ‘no’ to love handles!
- Pay more attention to his bank account — his funds are down (downside) after spending a crap-ton on the church renovation (upside). Yes, it’s an investment, but he could have invested in a globally diversified portfolio of low-cost index funds and made so much more. Now is the time to start investing — put to work $500 with Wealthfront. Invest in your future.
- Stop consuming negativity — when you’re not around pessimism, you will look at the world differently, and your self-esteem will benefit.
- Stop worrying about things you can’t change — he’s been stressed about YouTube’s views and subscribers. He hasn’t been able to do the content he’s wanted due to the pandemic, but he still puts passion into each video. What’s frustrating for him is the video topics that he finds very important don’t get the views and the topics that aren’t as important (ie: how to grab a girl’s butt) get the views. He’s struggling, but he’s making an effort to stop worrying.
