Robert’s Friday Roundup – October 15, 2021

Hello Everyone!

Friday Roundup – October 15, 2021

This week was filled with communications challenges – from typos in emails to miscommunication on details for events.  Every aspect of my life was affected – some say it is Mercury in retrograde while others will chalk it up to a bunch of random computer problems.  No matter how you see it, this week was challenging and required a great deal of patience.

Pallas Pens – Squeaky Innovation

On Monday, we facilitated our first Innovation Workshop with a large hospital and university.  It was the first time I’ve been able to bring my Pallas Pens to a workshop and use them “for real”.  If you recall, the main reason we invented the Pallas Pen was to have a whiteboard writing toolset that traveled easily and was ready when we needed them.

The case and pens performed wonderfully.  After several hours of writing without problems, it dawned on me that the pens were making a “squeaky” noise as I wrote.   When I let up on the writing pressure, the squeaking stopped.  After a few tries, I determined that I was the problem – not the pen.  Apparently, I apply a lot of pressure on the pen which would account for the smashed tips of Expos pens!

Learning something new every day!

Money Mastery Course

We are in the last week of the course and Jeff and I could not be prouder of the team.  Everyone is pushing through their barriers, discovering how to overcome their fears, and elevate their worthiness to attain the next level of success.

The key to wealth attainment is to create an internal sense of self-worth that believes in receiving and growing wealth.  Developing a higher self-worth money consciousness is critical to stepping into bigger opportunities.  The team has done an amazing job and we look forward to many more breakthroughs!

How to get out of a bad situation

This week’s post is about getting out of bad situations.  I only posted one video this week (mostly due to time commitments) but I wanted it to be meaningful and impactful.

The Motive For Life Podcast.
No new podcast this week.  Just too much fun going on.  Look for one next week.

Sleep, Meditation, and Health – Goal Weight
Reached my goal weight of 197 lbs (lost 14)!  After eight weeks of eating 1800 calories per day, every day while supporting an intermittent fasting cycle.  Here’s my typical daily routine:

  • Wake at 5 am – Drink 24 oz of water with vitamin supplements
  • Meditate for 20 minutes
  • 6 am – Gym and drink 32 oz of water while working out
  • 7:15 am – Latte with 8 oz of skim milk
  • Work
  • 11:30 am – Lunch of approx 600 calories.  I eat whatever I want but tend to focus on clean foods (greens, chicken, fruits). 16 oz water
  • Work – 16 oz water
  • 3:00 pm – Snack.  Lately has been dried dates.  5 dates = 120 calories.  Really good!
  • Work – 16 oz water (at least I try)
  • 6:00 pm – Dinner.  Wide-open.  I have 1100 or so calories to work with.  Typically select vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, beans, and some sort of starch-like paste.  No matter what, I select something that satisfies my starch desire.  I do not deny myself as long as I stay within the calories.
  • 9:30 pm – Bed

Sayings I Heard This Week
“Stop being an ass.” – Unknown
“There is a vicious internal monolog in my head.  Meditation helps turn down the volume.” – Madison
“I am acceptable.” –  RB Christiansen

Robert’s Friday Roundup – October 9, 2021

Hello Everyone!

Friday Roundup – October 9, 2021

Always Pay More For Experiences

Before we get into it, last week I was on vacation in Bozeman, MT fly fishing.  It was a bucket list trip and one I’ll never forget.  Three rivers in three days.  Here’s the LinkedIn post with a nice trout!

Pallas Pens – New Videos, Fix to Shipping

Last week was dedicated to working out the bugs in our website.  Lots of issues with shipping and taxes.  The back-end systems are critical for long-term success and we needed to get them right.  We way underestimated the amount of work needed to nail the sit.  Learn from us!

Our patents are moving along nicely.  We filed in the US, EU, and China.  We get a lot of comments about manufacturing in China, mostly negative, which has not been our experience.  The Chinese are amazing and very good at what they do.  Our manufacturer is excellent.  We are happy with our products.

Money Mastery Course

It is clear the value of this course is WAY WAY more than what we charged.  All the MasterMind members are blowing the doors off their financial lives in only four weeks.  It is truly amazing to see this in action.  I encourage you to join the next one!

Daily Videos

Every day I post a new one-minute video.  Topics range from simple suggestions to the deep, philosophical ideals I ponder throughout the day.  All are rooted in the premise that higher self-worth is the basis of all advancement and the core of a great life.   Here are the social links:

Sleep, Meditation, and Mental Health
Sleep has been excellent the last few weeks.  Between getting up at 5 am, working out, eating clean food, and hitting the sack by 9:30 pm, I feel amazing.  What is even more amazing is how much my mental state is affected by my physical wellbeing.   I knew this before but it has really hit home for me.  The better I take care of my body the better my mental and emotional state.

Who knew?

Food Recommendation

Costco Cauliflower Pizza – So good and 300 calories for a 1/4 of the pizza!
Raw Pecans – Low carbs and calories, nice healthy snack.

Spiritual Insight

Three times a year I sit down with for an Akashic Records Reading with Anne Marie Pizarro from Body Energy Connection.  Anne is my guide into the Akashic Records and is truly gifted as a connection to source information.  If you’ve never experienced an Akashic Records reading, set an appointment with Anne and you will not be disappointed.

Sayings I Heard This Week
“Have a beginner’s mindset.” – A monk
“You can do, be, have anything you want.  However, you cannot circumvent the necessary suffering to achieve it.” – Hanna
“Believers and supporters surround me.” – RB Christiansen
“I love who I am.” – Jeff Hauser

Sleep, Meditation, and Mental Health
Lots of crazy-ass dreams.  Woke up one night at 2 am and could not get back to sleep.  Was able to get an hour before the day started, but wow!

I am practicing my mediation every day, however, this week has been a fight with my phone.  I pick it up and look at an app and the next thing you know, I’m looped into bullshit I don’t care about and meditation is much more difficult.  The commitment is to the practice, and that means focusing on the commitment, not my phone!  Will do better.

Eating and Drinking
Week 6 of intermittent fasting – lost 10 pounds and feeling good.  The hunger urges are amazing to witness.  The physical addiction to sugar and starch (potatoes, french fries, etc) simply overtakes me and I literally must stop what I am doing, breathe, and wait for it to pass.

I wish this was not the case.  However, there is a part of my psyche that does not want me to succeed – to stay stuck in a body I do not like.

My experience tells me that I need to make this a 90-day routine, practiced every day until my subconscious knows it is the new normal.  After 90-days, it should let up a bit.

Sayings I Heard This Week
“Doubt or unbelief is as certain to start a movement away from you as faith and purpose are to start one toward you.” – Wallace Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich.

“I must be willing to be uncomfortable, it is the price of success.” – Unknown

“I am no longer a victim of my thinking.” – Robert Christiansen
