Can We Improve By 1% A Week?

What is 1%?

The FIREDANCE program is designed to increase your performance by about 1% per week in about 20 minutes a day. That would be

1. Five sixty second breathing breaks
2. 10–20 minute Morning Ritual using the M.A.G.I.C. formula

Jason hasn’t gotten to the point where he can do all of that on his own, but that’s ok — its VERY adult and awake to try that. So I ensure he has the separate pieces of the puzzle, and practices them all over the course of his week

1. He has to work his body — HARD.
2. He has to control his emotions.
3. He has to work on his career. This is, on the surface, his “MAGIC 4 Teens” program (www.magic4teens.com). But in actuality I’m using it to force him to internalize success principles, just as my mother ENDLESSLY played success tapes and records for me when I was a child. Hated it. Sank in. DARN YOU, MOM! I WAS DOOMED TO SUCCEED!

Anyway — -I woke up this morning feeling #$%% GREAT! And realized that if I asked myself what “1%” progress I’d made in the last week, I could say:

1. CAREER: got a financial manager, turned in the 14-page outline of the Star Wars novel, completed 10 tiny thumbnail story ideas for another project.
2. BODY: I’ve figured out how to cut weight more rapidly by “slushy fasting”: sipping ultra-high nutrition vitamin slushies to cut my hunger. No solid food until I’m below 190. Now that that worked so well…
