The Golden One - The Wild Hunt Challenge 2023 – Excellence is a Habit

00:00:00.000 Greetings, my esteemed subscribers. It is time, it is yet again time for a good old Wild Hunt

00:00:09.120 challenge. Now, I have made quite a few of these challenges over the years and they are quite

00:00:15.040 similar to each other, this one being no exception. This is good, however, because as Aristotle teaches

00:00:22.020 us, excellence is a habit. So we're gonna continue to implement good habits in our lives and if you

00:00:29.680 if this is the first Wild Hunt challenge you participate in, a warm welcome. I hope you will

00:00:36.540 enjoy this month. So you can start whenever you want basically and you can do it for 30 days if

00:00:44.060 you want or for how long you want. You can do it for the rest of your life as well but you can start

00:00:50.000 with 30 days a month at least. So we have a few different steps and I will now present them to

00:00:57.840 you. So first and foremost, since this is at the start of the year and it doesn't really matter

00:01:04.240 when, you should always have one anyway, I'm talking about a notebook. So a planner where you can note

00:01:12.680 down whatever you are about to do, what you should do, what you have planned and of course it's good

00:01:18.660 to write down things to remember but there is also a more profound insight to be had when it comes to

00:01:27.640 these planners and that is when you write something down it becomes more real and when you sort of

00:01:34.240 tick it off that you've done something that gives you a nice sense of accomplishment which will fuel

00:01:40.280 your motivation. So I've written here today gym strict press. So that is my plan. Those are my plans for

00:01:49.700 the day and then when I'm done with whatever I have planned then I'll just tick it off and get a nice

00:01:55.420 sense of reward in my spirit. So that is the first step in this particular challenge to get a

00:02:02.480 notebook and even if you don't participate in this fine challenge you can still get a notebook because

00:02:07.840 it's great mate. Now the second step is to read a book. If you haven't done so this is absolutely

00:02:17.200 mandatory to read. The Dauntless The Wild Hunt edition. Now the reason I'm having this as a mandatory

00:02:23.780 step in this fine video is that I get a lot of questions all the time and most of those questions

00:02:29.520 I do respond to in in this fine book. Now if you have already read it I salute you then you can choose

00:02:36.380 another book. Now when we're talking about books in general we have to ask ourselves the following

00:02:43.140 question before choosing a book. So we want to ask ourselves why do I want to read this book. Often it can be

00:02:50.620 the case that you want to read a classic so that you can say that you have read something but

00:02:54.700 if you do that then you need to ask yourself what am I looking for here. I made a video a while back

00:03:01.720 where I talked about you know how to read classics so what do you what are you out for in reading this

00:03:07.100 book. So perhaps you want to get an insight into the worldview of a certain author who lived in a

00:03:13.560 certain time and place. Dostoevsky what was his worldview living in pre-revolution Russia. It's a

00:03:21.320 quite interesting perspective to read it from. So whenever you choose a book ask yourself what am I

00:03:27.980 looking for in this book? Why am I reading it? Then it becomes more easy for you to you know pick up

00:03:34.560 these nuances in the book that will help you will enlighten you. So that can be a good idea. Now moving on to

00:03:43.300 the third step and this is for everyone who trains in the Temple of Iron. If you train MMA or something

00:03:49.880 else then you can discard this step but if you only train in the Temple of Iron which I do now by the

00:03:55.720 way I focus fully on the Temple of Iron then the step then this particular step of the challenge is to

00:04:04.260 start a schedule and I can speak from personal experience here the difference between training

00:04:09.780 when you have a training schedule and when you don't have a training schedule it's um it's massive

00:04:15.000 it's two completely different things and if you don't train with a schedule it's sort of like going

00:04:21.520 into going on um an exploration without a map and a compass you don't really know what to do and if

00:04:28.480 you don't really have anything to aim for each session if you don't know what to do each session then

00:04:33.940 yeah you will wander about aimlessly and progression will not be yours. So find a schedule there are

00:04:40.880 plenty free ones online you can use search for them good training plan or whatever small of junior

00:04:47.900 Russian squad routine one of these schedules. The important thing is that you get on a schedule so

00:04:54.060 that you know exactly every day what to do. If you only go into the gym without any plan then

00:05:00.040 yeah your results will most likely not be satisfactory so that is actually a part of the plan that

00:05:08.100 find a good training plan and stick to it for yeah however long it it is it can be three weeks four

00:05:15.280 weeks seven weeks doesn't really matter as long as you go on a plan. Fourth step is to meditate every

00:05:22.560 day and this is it doesn't need to be any great amount of time you can start with 10 minutes and also

00:05:29.740 here I would suggest I would highly recommend that you do a guided meditation. A really good one is

00:05:35.920 the Wim Hof guided breathing so three rounds it's absolutely great it's a great starting point as well

00:05:41.780 for you to you know get in the routine of meditating and getting into the sort of exercises. Then of course

00:05:49.460 you can do different stuff later on if you are used to meditating if you have a good routine if you know

00:05:54.700 what you're doing then yes you can continue the exploration but if you aren't used to meditating

00:06:01.520 then you can start with Wim Hof or any other guided meditation there are meditations to activate your

00:06:07.720 chakras I will talk about this in a different video as long as you actively know what you're doing

00:06:14.000 because otherwise it's quite common to just sit down and close your eyes and the thoughts start to wander

00:06:20.640 so it's better if you actively know what you are doing and having a guided meditation is great so I

00:06:27.640 would recommend starting with the Wim Hof one. So anyway this step is to meditate 10 minutes at least

00:06:34.880 every day to get into the routine the habit of it. Good stuff good stuff. Now last step is to do a 24

00:06:43.680 hour fast over these 30 days I've already done mine for this month felt well it didn't really feel

00:06:51.700 great mate it felt it felt okay it's not the worst so basically what I did was simply that in the

00:06:59.100 morning I drank my usual butter coffee so one teaspoon of coconut oil one teaspoon of butter gourmet

00:07:07.680 coffee and that was the only calories I consumed that day so yeah basically that was the only thing

00:07:14.080 I consumed that day I also had a green tea without any calories of course and yeah then I simply tried

00:07:20.900 to keep myself occupied so the thoughts of food wouldn't come to me but yeah it's basically one

00:07:28.040 day where your body gets a chance to autophagy max to clean out old cells so basically what the body

00:07:35.500 does is that it eats up old and damaged cells so it's sort of like a clean a cleanse if you will

00:07:42.020 which you can do every once in a while it's not super it's not a super fun day necessarily but it's

00:07:47.960 also not super bad as soon as you get used to it so it can be good to implement one of these fasts

00:07:54.200 every every once in a while and it's also a challenge for you to overcome yourself so yeah that is the last

00:08:01.580 step of this particular challenge so we have five steps and it's all about implementing good routines

00:08:08.960 if you are new to any of these things view it as a great start of the year new year new me

00:08:16.280 now I'm joking I have always been the same ever since my birth during the nordic bronze age that's how 0.98

00:08:23.800 old my spirit is even though this body might be young so anyway do accept this challenge do view

00:08:32.480 this as an opportunity to implement great habits into your life and if you only manage to get one

00:08:39.180 of these habits to stick with you then that's absolutely a victory so anyway do let me know in

00:08:45.080 the comment section if you participate in this challenge and we can be accountable to each other

00:08:50.720 also keep in mind that even though I am the enlightened one the celestial lion of wisdom

00:08:57.800 I am also you know all of these things they apply to me too I am also in some ways also human

00:09:05.900 so I need to think about habits all the time which habits do I cultivate which habits are congruent with

00:09:14.340 my path to the ideal version of myself and all of these things I have listed here they are very

00:09:21.440 much congruent with the ideal version of myself so I will participate in this challenge as well

00:09:27.660 alongside you so thank you for watching thank you for your support xxo boom

00:09:44.340 one second time we're still doing looseے Aristotle

00:09:48.480 to have fun of myself and all of these things

00:09:50.720 we need to know how to make sure I have thought that everything is

00:09:54.460 that I have to understand my 케이ка

00:09:55.520 fear that I don't need if you are using this channel
