Your One-Page Manual for Winning the Inner and Outer Game
“You don’t need more motivation.
You need fewer excuses.” — M.C. Salmon
⚙️ WHEN RESISTANCE HITS
| SYMPTOM | WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING | COUNTER-MOVE (Use DISARM) |
|---|---|---|
| “I can’t focus.” | You’re stuck in future-thinking (fear of outcome). | Detect → name the emotion out loud. |
| “I feel anxious.” | You’ve lost presence; body in fight-or-flight. | Isolate → breathe until charge drops 80%. |
| “I’m overthinking.” | Ego is hijacking control to avoid risk. | Simplify → find the illusion; act now. |
| “I feel resistance.” | Old self fighting for survival. | Align → play pump-up song + say “thank you, fear.” |
| “I’m stuck again.” | Feedback loop not closed. | Respond → take one imperfect action now. |
| “I keep repeating this pattern.” | Belief not yet rewired. | Memorise → journal the evidence: fear wasn’t real. |
🧠 Rule: Emotion is a suggestion, not a command.
🔁 THE FOUR-STEP SYSTEM LOOP
1️⃣ Pick Vehicle → “What game will I play for 3 years?”
2️⃣ Identify Inputs → “Which 3 actions move the scoreboard?”
3️⃣ Copy + Improve → “Who’s already winning, and how can I double it?”
4️⃣ Stay Consistent → “Can I show up the same on bad days?”
Mantra:
“Hard is a feature. Consistency is currency.”
🧘♂️ THE COSMIC PERSPECTIVE REFRAME
When emotion peaks → zoom out:
“In 300 years, none of this will matter.
So I might as well take the shot.”
Use the three zoom levels:
-
1× Personal View: Emotions feel massive.
-
100× Planetary View: Nobody’s judging you—they’re busy surviving.
-
∞× Cosmic View: You’re consciousness playing a temporary game.
🎮 Act Like It’s a Game: Every failure = XP. Every loop = upgrade.
🪞 IDENTITY CHECKLIST
Before action:
☐ I am the inevitable operator.
☐ My job is inputs, not outcomes.
☐ Emotion = feedback, not truth.
☐ Today’s loop: pick, act, reflect, detach.
💡 QUICK-RUN PROMPT (for Act-As-If Engine)
“Run DISARM.
What am I feeling? (Name it.)
What’s the illusion? (Simplify it.)
What would my inevitable self do next? (Act it.)
What did I learn? (Memorise it.)”
Repeat this daily until emotion feels like weather — noticed, but never obeyed.
⚡ FINAL FORMULA
Freedom = (Action × Detachment × Time) ÷ Excuses
The less you justify,
the faster you multiply.
