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?”

Vehicle → Inputs → Copy/Improve → Consistency → Feedback → Repeat

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.
