It's time for our monthly check in where we review our goals from last month and see what's coming up for the next.
Do you set yourself monthly goals and if so, how many do you set? Juan and I on the first week of every month go over our progress from the previous month and where we are heading for the next. Emphasis as always is on the shortcomings; what we didn't achieve in the previous monthly goals and how we will fix that for the month that comes. We hope you get some value from this series, showcasing our own methodology. What do you do differently and why?

We all can't be mortals capable of mistakes. The journey is not here to be agonized.
[00:00:08] Kyrin Down:
Oh, and welcome, everyone, to another episode of the Mere Mortals Monthly Goals. This is where your 2 favorite mere mortals, you've got Kyrin here on this side. You have Juan on the other side. And we are going over our goals from May of 2024, talking about what we're going to be doing in June of 2024. A little bit of thank you support, the supporters at home and then also an update on just our fitness, how we've been going with that. So we usually start off with one telling us. So how was your May? May, May, 2024. And I had the wrong thing up. I only had my June 2024 goal. So,
[00:00:42] Unknown:
the usual little goal description that I had was finish my workout strong and enjoy the family trip to Japan. So, indeed, those things were done. I did indeed go to Japan. I did indeed have a family trip. Excellent. And I finished mostly mostly the training. So, the 5 goals that I had, one of them was, again, body mind soul separation. The body 1 I've only recently actually going back. I've only had one body main thing and which has been good, I guess. It's like a good focus only on the body. I don't know that Emmanuel goals overall, I think have 3 or 4 body ones, but I've only just been doing that predominant one, which honestly has been good for me. But anyways, the main one completing the Olympic training phase and preparing for the calisthenetics slash gymnastics whatever we're gonna call it.
It was like I completed it. I pulled up stumps to 2 weeks earlier. Reasoning being was I can recall correctly just before Japan. I was really pondering like, am I going to complete this? I was to be honest, either I was under recovering, not over training. I was under recovering. And so there was it was like week 8 of the 12 week program. And I was doing some particular lifts, which I would have expected to be along the course higher than what I was doing, you know, 8 weeks back. And it wasn't. It was actually like going backwards. So the top end strength of these Olympic lifts were actually decaying what I was getting good at was more repetitions So in any case, I sort of thought, look, I'm gonna complete it there. I'm not getting kind of the optimal thing I want from that, and I wanna begin this new one. So I kind of said that done. Cool.
And then the other 3 around the mind creating a blog for the family trip. So I showed you a few videos and photos when we sort of took so many. Oh, there was there is a lot a lot a lot. A thousand of photos. No. Definitely not a not definitely definitely not a 1,000, but I couldn't very, very quickly. 150 a day. You know, I think if I was to just roughly, roughly calculate it, Let me choose this. I'm gonna try to select and just go on select every single one to see what it tells you. Oh, you think what do you actually think?
[00:02:57] Kyrin Down:
I reckon you you had a solid crack at 500.
[00:03:02] Unknown:
500, he says. Let's see. Oh, my god. What is going on? No. It'd be about it'd be about 200. Okay. About 200. Yeah. Yeah. How much? How much? How much? But what I did do is so in terms of creating the vlog Do you care about your baby? I know. No, no, not at all. But what I tried to do, and it progressively got harder. So when we got there, no, even before we got there, so from the day we were leaving, I was creating, let's just say a little video of what we were doing when we were up to every 6 hours, let's say through the day. So I do a video, we're on the plane with video, we arrived at the place, We're going out for a walk. But as the trip went on and on and on, it got it got harder in a sense of I a was forgetting to do it. B was more immersed in the travel and wanting to do it. And then see also getting tired.
And towards the tail end of the trip, I got sick. When we were sick, we were at Disneyland and then traveling back home. And all that period, like, I didn't want to be recording because it was either we were stressed or we were carrying heaps of stuff. And I'm like, well, what's the point of of doing it? I guess in retrospect, maybe that would have been the whole entire package of the log is there's one of the things in memory now it's starting to fade away some of the suffering that was experienced in the travel and just the highlights of Yeah. It was really, really great. Yeah. So it would have been nice to capture a few of the videos where it wasn't as great. Although, however, I did I did capture the video from where we got locked out of the room. So I was like, yeah, you know, we're locked out. So yes, we got locked out of one of our rooms in Osaka. The third one, I want to start to create our book list for 99 must read books how'd you go with that it went around I did it right at the beginning which is good thank god I did that otherwise it wouldn't have gone down so I combined basically current list with my list Your list you have way more than 99 books. Yeah. My list is 400.
[00:04:51] Kyrin Down:
I think that we've done 304 100 book reviews. Yeah. So that's a lot. That's a lot to go from. I have.
[00:04:56] Unknown:
Yeah. So I kind of combined yours and mine, and I think I capped it off at like 7 out of 10 or 7 and a half out of 10. Okay. Which actually got it to it's like 88 or 89 or something like that. So then get to 99, it's a little bit less. Now I've I've created the list to a certain point, And I think I need to just come back to it not this following month, but in a while of, okay, what's the next steps? How do I feel in the rest of it? How am I actually going to use it? Because what I'm starting to think about doing with it, it's probably a bit of effort to do and we'll talk about it in meanderings. But yeah, it's just I did it. I did I did as much as I could. I did it right at the beginning because thank god I wouldn't be getting otherwise. I've actually got a book review tomorrow and that's going to be one of my highest rated books. Really? Higher than Georgia Oils, nineteen eighty four? I mean, that are equivalent. Right. I guess it was pretty high.
On the on the scale of Karen. That's a 9. Nice. Wow. Okay.
[00:05:52] Kyrin Down:
Then you have to add that to your list. Damn. Okay. Good.
[00:05:56] Unknown:
4th one, just start taxation preparations for the end of the year. Yep. That one was a really easy one to to start it. The end of year is End of financial end of financial year. End of June for us. End of June for us. And then the last one is just attempting to be double as kind 3 times minimum in my day to day things. Did you know suggestion of ass chocolates? No, I didn't know. I forgot about that, which I did not so you know that probably would have made it easier but this one this one was like I really considered done not that I was super conscious about it but I found myself through the whole month anyways being quite kind in a lot of situations. I I can only really recall a few times, and it was while I was in the Japanese trip that I was like, oh, man, this absolute asshole or something like that. But beyond that, I was I was generally pretty kind through the month, which is good. That's good. Yeah. Yeah. It was like May May 2024. It went well. It was good. It was good. Well out of 10. Excellent.
[00:06:47] Kyrin Down:
So I had a bunch of goals, but these were all very much dependent on, I guess, being in location in Brazil and what I was kind of planning to do and then obviously coming back to Australia, mum, all of that, it, it didn't completely throw it out of the water, but I had to kind of rejig a little bit. So, eye contact smile touching and don't attempt iffy jokes. Well, I was thinking of doing that in Portuguese, so that was kind of a write off, but I was still I've been working on that. Yeah, it's getting better. Get out of the house by 10 a. M. At the latest I've I was almost doing that. I switched it to 11, so I'm like 10:10 am. That's really early. Come on, people. Let's be reasonable.
[00:07:29] Unknown:
And I can attest the car and didn't get out of the proverbial house that I own till 11. A little bit after 11 AM tonight. Yeah.
[00:07:36] Kyrin Down:
And, yeah, it's it was, it was kind of like fun and useful, but it's also I don't get much done if I, if I'm doing that. So the reason I had this goal was because I wouldn't be practicing Portuguese, so it was to get out of the house. That was the reason. Now, if I, if I do that here in Brisbane, there's I mean, what am I going to do? I guess I can go train earlier. Or
[00:07:59] Unknown:
Yeah, would you? Would you go try an earlier?
[00:08:02] Kyrin Down:
Not not at the moment. Okay, cool. So that one was was it was more I changed the kind of like just be doing something by 10 I am, I guess. Okay. So try and survive plus reach out to other podcasters. So I did actually on the just before I left Brazil, do a interview conversation with on another person's podcast. Yes, actually. Pottery, he's going to release that, I don't know, some sometime soon ish, I guess. And yeah, just some other people like, so Wes from the Habia Bourbon and Boulder Dash, she reached out and I was like, the best, you know, the best excuse ever. My mom passed away a couple of days ago. I'm probably not going to. Not. It's still going to be very easy thing to be able to get to connect and do it. Yeah. I mean, I just didn't feel like doing it. So yeah.
So that one is okay. Watch Coach Backman vids and read push harder again. So there's one I'm handstand related. I actually did a fair bit of research. I didn't watch all of the coach Backman. So half got it done. But what was like the total amount of hours? Oh, man. He's got he's got a lot of videos, so it's probably be 3 or 4 hours worth of content. Okay. So it's quite a lot. Yeah. He's got a decent amount. He's got some really good stuff. So I wanted to take it slowly as well and do that. Only Portuguese entertainment or useful vids in the evening? No, not really. I spent a lot of time watching Vikings and other random stuff with my brother. So were you doing that when you were in Brazil there?
For the 2 or 3 days that I was there at the start of the morning? Yes. And then yeah, then it was just like, no, I can't remember what day I came back. It was I think it was the 7th, something like that. So I mean, I did. Yeah, I did have a week there, I guess. So. Yeah. Yeah. And other ones research some places events that could be amazing. Didn't do that. Try to simplify your language and use less abstract words. Kind of. Kind of. So that was related to the book review on semantics, which I really, really enjoyed. And I didn't do it for myself, but I was watching other people and kind of using that that framework of saying, okay, what exactly are they saying? If they're saying something is stable or the Bitcoin protocol needs to remain stable, That is completely abstract, almost useless unless they hone it down and refine it. So it was kind of interesting Hearing some language like that and going, okay, I can see how this is actually not helpful. He'd be saying stuff, but nothing is really being said yapping, Yapping. Yapping. Yapping. Yeah. And then the last one was make the effort to ask about classes. So I did actually ask, for for a run club or there was like these people doing chugging and jogging and running in Brazil. I went over and chatted with them and the guy's like, Oh, yeah, no, it's like super select clientele.
I'll pass your number on to the main dude. And he obviously didn't pass it on.
[00:10:59] Unknown:
So it was just like, Oh, okay. Yeah. Stumbled upon a super selective run club. Well. Wow. I don't know. I don't know how selective it was, but I think they were trying to be cool. Right. Yeah. Like, be able to protect it. I don't think there's any I'm trying to think of as any run clubs like that that I've heard of here.
[00:11:15] Kyrin Down:
I mean, there's there's ones where you'd like to be fast. So yeah, there's some I guess that they would guard by the speed like, hey, you have to be running at about this pace. That's probably the Southbank runners. I think they I don't know if they've cut offs. But yeah, you're just like an expected. You're gonna be bothering. Yeah. Like if you come along and you're not going along with them, it's like, well, you're just kind of running on your own, really. Yeah. Yeah. Correct. So and I was doing some break to breakdance classes here. I think I think it was 2 or 3. And I missed yesterday's obviously because we're in Sydney. I'm not going to go the next one just because I'm flying out 2 days after that. So yeah, it was a month where I didn't focus on trying to improve my goals and hit them. And so, yeah, it was, it was a month of, I wouldn't say relaxation, but of
[00:12:06] Unknown:
dealing with life. Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. Just existing pretty much to be honest. Kind of kind of. I would I mean, if if you had come on here and said, yeah, I just didn't even look at my monthly goals for this particular model. I'd be like, yeah. It was good. It was almost at that level. Yeah. I did have a little look. So,
[00:12:23] Kyrin Down:
we'd like to thank our supporters and people who've done that, and boosted into the show. Yep. We haven't really gotten once again the end of the month, and I don't think I've actually tallied up the April ones yet. So I'll do a double. So and but yeah, no, you know, it's just we haven't been putting out as much stuff. So we missed last week's episode because we're in Japan and I just didn't want to
[00:12:48] Unknown:
fanacle around with trying to set it up and all that. Yeah. And, you were sick as well. So that was just a bit of a shit show. It would have been it would have been one like it would have been a pretty
[00:13:00] Kyrin Down:
heavy task with the fact that we barely like planned it. So be like, oh, yeah, let's see this. And they're calling you. And you wanted to use your phone. And I'm like, no, I don't want to use that audio. We do have a couple of live people in the live people. I hope they're live in the chat. They're definitely not AI. We have, Patricia or Mazur, your mom, your mom is as usual saying. And then we have, Dimelix Quantum Husky. And he actually asked a pretty good question. He goes, What do you use to track goals? An app or just notes?
[00:13:28] Unknown:
Well, for me, it's purely an Excel spreadsheet. I've got a an Excel spreadsheet that I call the master spreadsheet. Mhmm. And it has, again, how many tabs? Probably like 40 tabs. And it hosts things between my finances to my training to, Yeah, just a top everything master, right? So everything. But in amongst that, I've got 2 tabs, 1, which is the one I'm reading right now, which is like 31 year old monthly goals. And then another tab, it's a 31 year old annual goal. So I just use spreadsheet, actually for me the easiest there is. I'm I'm currently part of a group school of mastery.
They have like lots of templates and templates and whatnot, which they use Google sheets. So it's it's something like what you'd see equivalent in like the market, I guess. Like this is probably something that I could package up and resell or something like that, but it just works for me. So spreadsheet input, input, input, new tab. I don't know what I would do if I would just, like, accidentally deleted it for whatever reason. It wouldn't be up. I'd be like, yeah, this is annoying. However, it's set up in a way that, you know, even if it did that, I could just okay. Cool. It's July. Go again. I'm not really going back and retrospecting on thing a couple of months back, although I did for a bit of fun, going open like a 29 year old and a 28 year old monthly goals tab, just see what I was tracking and doing around then. And just changes the differences in what I was prioritizing and focusing on. But it's twitchy. Yep. For me, I
[00:14:54] Kyrin Down:
I guess I've got a lot like a lot of different things that all eventually kind of combine together. So the main one is just a app note. I use Google Keep. I used to use Evernote and that's just some lines that I wrote down. Yep. I use Yeah. If I had a set number of hours of practice or something when I did an hour, I just change it from 6 hours to 5 hours. So I'm just kind of constantly doing it like that rather than ticking off boxes or I think I've gotten to a certain extent past the the feelgoods of doing the ticking or having the yeah, having the thing. I still kind of do that for my fitness tracking, which I write down physically and then I convert that over into a, an actual Excel spreadsheet. And that one, once I've fit, transferred it over, I put a line through it. So I guess that's a way of being like, yeah, done.
But it's it's kind of haphazard, to be honest. It's not, not super fancy. No, no. It's kind of I think we always say that they're just kind of we're using them to just guide us to where we roughly want to go. Yeah. I roughly want to get better at Portuguese language. Roughly want to have better handstands. I don't know what the end goal looks like per se. So these are all just on the way on the way to do that. If you want to type in the chat what you do as well or if you you take monthly calls or, I mean, if you're tracking, it'll be easy. Interesting.
[00:16:24] Unknown:
I'm assuming I'm assuming that there's lots of apps out there that have that sort of setup. I think, Apple well, it's not super reason now but I know in the one of the latest updates they created a thing that I deleted probably deleted it. It was called journal. So if you wanted like a really, really easy way, I guess for sometimes like goal setting or journaling and whatnot, they have like a actual internal app that you can just use and it asks you, hey, how are you feeling when something happened or recalling something, but I think it also allowed you to put goals and track them against it. So I was never I also tried to do goals or tasks and actions in like a Microsoft task tracker thing, which I do still use, But it's very much around tasks and things I've got to get done. Not so much goals. They just they've all been a spreadsheet. Yeah. Yeah. I've stopped.
[00:17:16] Kyrin Down:
I've stopped tracking and keeping as much score as I used to. I think a year ago I was I was track tracking a lot more things. Am I on top of this, etcetera, etcetera? Yeah. Now it's going to, I'm kind of just going with the flow. Yeah. Well, you're saying you stopped doing the tracking of your measurements. Yeah. Like waist size, waist and weight. And it was it was just getting I didn't see the point anymore. It wasn't a Y anymore. Yeah, exactly. Good question. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, Dimar. So let's jump on to June. What's coming up for June? June 2024. All right. Well, overall,
[00:17:48] Unknown:
the writing of it, so the top line level, it's really getting back into my routine, and starting to prepare for the next evolution of life, evolution. So what does that mean? Well, what does that find out? So one, the first goal here in the body space, the only one once again, and I've only got a total of 5. I'm keeping it at 5. Yeah. The first one is pursuing the gymnastics calisthenics effort for this month pretty strongly. So I've got it's it is gymnastics slash calisthenics, but there's also another slash which is more running as well. So it's a bit of a mixture. Why? Because as I originally started creating the plan for it and the minutes that I would be spending, I got disappointed that it was gonna be like sub one hour. I was like, oh, no, that's kind of annoying. Okay. Can I add a little bit extra? Yeah, I can do some running. Awesome. So that's fulfilling it. But predominantly, it's that again, what's it looking like at the moment?
This one, I didn't set any goals of I want to do a plus 30% of my hands and hold or I want to be able to do this many amount of pull ups, but it is do more of those things. Like, I enjoy them. But just I I in the previous programs or if I left my program as is, I would really not do them that often. It'd be maybe once a fortnight or once every 3 weeks. So now it's gonna be almost every day. In particular, actually, if anything is just progressing to be able to do more of them, right, just more repetitions. I've got 3 in the mind space.
First one is I want to create or leverage. So as I mentioned, there's probably some already out there. So I was trying to find some and reimplement or create my own, the return on investment style calculator for my own personal users, which I remember when I talked about it in the annual goals, you were like, oh, yeah. I'd be, you know, interested to see what you mean by like all creating that. The annual goal one was, it was create a return on investment with risk included cheat fees for future decisions. And there's a couple of things that have presented in life at the moment, just an opportunities where I've gone have like a really, like, I really do need like some standardized way to be looking at this.
A couple of days ago, there was an opportunity that I was looking at. And so I was putting together like 4 different ways and options. And I found myself using a little quality called like I call it like hardness, like our hardware beat to actually pursue these variations. And then talking with someone else, like, the day after about another opportunity, I found myself kind of like, oh, okay. Well, this is this possibility, this possibility, and, you know, what's what's the return on investment, but with the risk included, like, you know, and I don't want to be definitely moving at the moment to more risk averse as I am to being risk heavy. So that means of course, I mean, it's husky, right?
Oh, husky, probably we would write the safest. Hey, you're saying it's $0. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be in. Yeah. It's one of those where I'm not going to be jumping on the bandwagon even if it feels like, hey, hey, I was going to go well.
[00:20:46] Kyrin Down:
You never know crypto's gonna boom that's true one will be telling us
[00:20:50] Unknown:
about how he's gonna sell vienna to I'll be like oh yeah you know I'll try to sell sell the quarter of the house and I've just got I now created a new coin so I think we'll do that. But, it'll be interesting to see. I wanna know if there's an existing one out there. So it's a return on investment calculator with risk included, like some sort of sheet or some, ability to input things and classify things and compare them in a hopefully easier way than I I think it took me I was comparing these options and it probably took me 40 something minutes doing it all. I was like, oh, man, I really had created the sheet now by now. Like this would have been maybe a lot quicker. So the other one is I'm gonna read one page a day of the French book. Now, this is a very, very easy goal. However, going back in all these reading trying to read the successful hasn't been hasn't been successful. So I'm gonna make it really simple myself. Right next to my bed. One page a day, morning or night. I can't where it is.
So I do 1 page. Yeah. Get through it, then shit. Move on. Okay. If I feel motivated, you know, do a couple more pages, but it also I made a note. It's gonna be it's gonna be a minimum of 30 this month. Yep. Minimum of 30, folks. There you go. Keep me in line. Alright. Let's see if you can do it. 4th one, I'm back in the Valley Creation bandwagon. So the reason for this probably not more is because this one has quite a few things in it. So it's book reviews. I've got a book review right there that I've got to do. There's another one that I'm about to finish as well that I probably want to get through as well. You will be doing some book reviews anyways. Yeah, I don't want to be trying.
Well, I want to create those high quality ones again. So you know, it's effort. It's time. So it's realistically 4 pieces. So it's effort there. There's monthly summary, which I'll talk about in the meanderings. I'll talk more about that. And then just podcasts in general. So there someone reached out and it was supposed to happen the podcast for an interview. So you kind of like line something back up. And I was like, man, I'm actually with how many things you actually have to do this. So that's going to be a huge one. And then 5th on the sole spaces, one maps up to English cube relationships.
So in my No, sorry, it was a change. This is more around being calm rather than frantic. So the way I'm doing it for this particular goal is in my daily journal, demonstrated myself a time the day so very being really specific around where I chose to become over being frantic. So hopefully with that leads me to do it's rather than if I write be more calm, calm rather than frantic in all the moments I just don't think about it. I was like, when you talk about it a lot that or you you set a goal or intent like that, you won't do it. You don't think about it in the moment because you're just going day to day life unless you're reminding yourself every bloody 10 seconds or something like that.
But if I am hoping if I'm doing it at the end of the day or in the mornings when I do it and I kind of summarize the day is gone and it makes me, oh, yeah. I've got to find out a time when I was calm over the frantic that at the very least, it's like it's easy to spot when I just naturally do it or easy to catch myself if there's a day or like, oh, man, I was just frantic the whole day. Okay. I got to remember, like, when those happen, try to be calmer, blah, blah, blah, blah. So those are the 5 goals for the month of June. So plenty on plenty on those 5. Again, sounds like 5. Not many, but yeah, within them, there's some huge ones in there. Yeah, definitely. We'll get them on. Well, if you time, you can do the book review for next week. That'd be awesome. But that might be pushing it. Yeah. There's no way. No way. Very good.
[00:24:19] Kyrin Down:
I'm, I'm keeping it simple. Going back to April was, was amazing. I really enjoyed going to Brazil and just kind of chilling out. 1st time I chilled out for a long time and I'd say first time I was really happy. It's the happiest I've been in a long time. And, I just want to try and recapture that if possible. So yeah, I'm not allow yourself to be optimistic, flirty, happy and playful. That was that was what I was last time. And I think I did a pretty good job not not get too stuck up in the handstands, like having to eat once a day in the evening just because that's what you do, just because that's a normal routine and things like that.
No, I just want to try and recapture a bit of what I was feeling beforehand. So yeah, there's nothing. I mean, if anything, the other stuff would be kind of don't do things have been I was talking before once again, I'm a bit hungover right now. So making the poorer life choices
[00:25:20] Unknown:
in certain respects. Well, let me tell you one story. Right. So you're definitely sorry. Some of them are not shareable on this topic. No, not at all. I think it's you do really well when it comes to some of the goal setting around not adding but reducing I'd say yeah it's probably some reduction in some of these decisions that you have made in the last couple. Yeah. And
[00:25:39] Kyrin Down:
from from small to big I haven't been eating healthy. You know the I did one big cook whilst I was here with my brother. That was pretty good because we put some vegetables and meats and pasta and stuff like that. But I've been eating just a lot of random crap. Last night for dinner, I had 2 small. What were they beef Wellington? I mentioned like 2 little metals the size of a bottle cap to 3 bottle caps maybe stacked together. I had 4 little brownie things dunked in in chocolate, an oyster and, a cannoli. I think I think that was the extent of my eating. Oh, and a lot of alcohol. Jesus. So you made up the calories
[00:26:27] Unknown:
plenty enough with the alcohol. Yeah, it just doesn't.
[00:26:29] Kyrin Down:
They just run through me. They dissipate. So yeah. Yeah. Eat healthier. Get be be more rock solid with my sleep. Spend more time friends doing doing things, not going too hard at the handstands. Yeah. Just just chilling out a bit more, saying yes to things. That's that's kind of the plan. Yeah. And I won't have in the back of my mind,
[00:26:54] Unknown:
how's mom doing? Yeah. Maybe you need to come back to to Australia. Yeah, that's been and done. So hopefully Did you end up right? So did you end up actually writing any more other goals? Or it's just No. Basically that? That was just what I wrote down. And those other things I said were just kind of off the cuff. Yeah. So sort of trying to because what you're saying, like, when you're in over there in April, like you're really enjoying it. It was obviously catching up with a good friend. You were doing all your handstands, like, plenty of training and whatnot. Where right now, at least for me, it's felt like, yeah, you will you're in that undeniable slump because yeah, it happened right? Like that's not a difference.
But it'll be hopefully that trigger of cool recapture that and then maybe that freeing feeling of like, yeah, and again, that's we can continue on with this like to whatever it's the next step for it. Okay,
[00:27:42] Kyrin Down:
try and enjoy life. It's it's felt a little bit dull over this last month.
[00:27:48] Unknown:
So those are the June goals. Yep. For 2024. So fitness wise,
[00:27:52] Kyrin Down:
I've got a stolder for the first time. Correct. Did that just before I left? So that's some, some points for me in my, in my big fitness sheet. And that was good to tick off. I was feeling really great there. And then just this year, since I've been back, cold weather, you know, emotional things going on just just just feel like you're all gunked up. So I haven't haven't really progressed physically wise.
[00:28:21] Unknown:
Regressing. I'm devolving.
[00:28:22] Kyrin Down:
Devolving. Devolving. So I don't know what into,
[00:28:26] Unknown:
but something something it doesn't have sloth. Yeah. For myself, from fitness perspective, obviously taking I took completely off in Japan and run and do any training. Come back to caviar. I didn't even check. I don't think I've checked my weight in 2 months. Yeah. In either I can guarantee I don't know what's going on, folks. I must have broken through the whatever physical barrier allows you to put on weight or lose weight, but I don't think I have deviated away. So I'm either between 87.89 kilos and it hasn't changed for like 3 years. Okay. Like it does not change it. Have a massive day of eating or a couple of weeks of eating. Don't do that. Train a lot. Don't train a lot. It's fucking just sitting there the whole time. Doesn't doesn't matter. So yeah. My my body's cutting the same. Yeah. So honestly, if I had to guess, it would just been exactly so. There wasn't much change. I I did walk a lot. So you know, kinda like balance out the the calorie intake. For sure.
But when I got back from Japan and going back into training, it would that was good. That was nice to have a good force break where I didn't train for I think it was 13 days in total. Yeah. Training session to training session. Yeah. And that was really good. I was like, Oh, this is nice. But I was I was talking to you about it offline. Still, there's like little injuries, like the foot still hurts, man. The foot still hurts. And there's other little bits and bobs where I think the reality is I'm just not putting enough effort in the rehab of it. And also, as I'm telling this, obviously, not caring about it enough because I'm just continuing to do my training. But for the moment, it's really enjoyable. Because I just had that good gap of not doing it. And so just kind of fuels the passion of, oh, I want to get back into it and do something. So I'm already like excited for tomorrow morning's training. So I didn't train, last 2 days. Last night, I did try it in the Tuesday. I tried at 3:30 in the morning, which, but I didn't try it yet today. I didn't try it today. So I'm already, like, excited for tomorrow, which is a good thing. Cool. Cool.
Yeah. So you go fitness. Epic. Shooting girls, girls in general. Any other questions from. No, no, that's it. That's
[00:30:26] Kyrin Down:
it for here on the chat. So yeah, we'll end it up here is a value for value podcast. We really do enjoy hearing back from you at home and getting some some value from you guys. Like Dimelix gave us a cool question there. That was really great to know. And, and something for us to talk about because we don't typically talk about how how we write it down. So, what we just ask is you take time to share this podcast with a friend, someone who would enjoy it, how someone who's perhaps lacking some goals and needs an example of how they could maybe write them out for themselves. You could also I don't know. Yeah. Send some more comments in like like Dimelix has. You can I suppose go on to some of the social media and follow us there?
I do post things on Twitter and
[00:31:14] Unknown:
on Discord for when we go live. So if you get the chance, that's that's that's our notification system. Yeah, exactly. Well, you can use in YouTube and a few other places you can turn on the notification. Oh, yes. Yeah. Notifies if you do want that, but we do make the effort of putting it in other places just in case you don't whatever reason.
[00:31:32] Kyrin Down:
Yeah, we remind you. Exactly. And then the last one is you can help support us monetarily. It does cost a lot of time, energy, money to create all of these things. So sending us a boost to gram, which is a payment that you can do directly within your podcasting app. We actually just came back from a Bitcoin party in Sydney for the Bitcoin ETF that's getting released here. So it's moving. It's moving. People moving. And so it's, it's worth having a little play around with some of these things like Fountain. FM, Podcast Guru, True Fans, Podverse, rock solid apps funny any of them I would I would recommend recommend try that. Yeah, we tried it out start trying it. It's
[00:32:15] Unknown:
after yesterday night kind of gave me the inkling that it's like, okay, we're probably 2 years away, 3 years away where it's gonna become really common practice to utilize Bitcoin, to utilize the Toshiba and be present available easy. And but when that comes telling you guys you ought to be using it first you can now tell your friends be like yeah we are we were throwing around some satoshis around here. It's not about some tons of money just like yeah you were in the technology space well before any of this became like mainstream. Yep. You get a shirt if you, correct, send in a 100,000 to the mere mortals. It's a $100 shirt at the moment. Yeah. That's true. Oh, it's probably not going to get too much cheaper. More expensive than fear of God damn. Hey. Oh, yeah. Making moves here with the mere mortals shirts then. Oh, yes. Yes. If you do support us with that, we do give you obviously that value back. Yep. Believe me then and more or less, thank you very much for tuning in for the monthly girls this summer around. Tune in obviously for the next monthly girls. We will be doing the me and ring shortly. Yeah, right after this. So I'll send another link out shortly. Beautiful. Thank you very much. Your more or less wherever you are in the world. One out.
Try.
We all can't be mortals capable of mistakes. The journey is not here to be agonized.
[00:00:08] Kyrin Down:
Oh, and welcome, everyone, to another episode of the Mere Mortals Monthly Goals. This is where your 2 favorite mere mortals, you've got Kyrin here on this side. You have Juan on the other side. And we are going over our goals from May of 2024, talking about what we're going to be doing in June of 2024. A little bit of thank you support, the supporters at home and then also an update on just our fitness, how we've been going with that. So we usually start off with one telling us. So how was your May? May, May, 2024. And I had the wrong thing up. I only had my June 2024 goal. So,
[00:00:42] Unknown:
the usual little goal description that I had was finish my workout strong and enjoy the family trip to Japan. So, indeed, those things were done. I did indeed go to Japan. I did indeed have a family trip. Excellent. And I finished mostly mostly the training. So, the 5 goals that I had, one of them was, again, body mind soul separation. The body 1 I've only recently actually going back. I've only had one body main thing and which has been good, I guess. It's like a good focus only on the body. I don't know that Emmanuel goals overall, I think have 3 or 4 body ones, but I've only just been doing that predominant one, which honestly has been good for me. But anyways, the main one completing the Olympic training phase and preparing for the calisthenetics slash gymnastics whatever we're gonna call it.
It was like I completed it. I pulled up stumps to 2 weeks earlier. Reasoning being was I can recall correctly just before Japan. I was really pondering like, am I going to complete this? I was to be honest, either I was under recovering, not over training. I was under recovering. And so there was it was like week 8 of the 12 week program. And I was doing some particular lifts, which I would have expected to be along the course higher than what I was doing, you know, 8 weeks back. And it wasn't. It was actually like going backwards. So the top end strength of these Olympic lifts were actually decaying what I was getting good at was more repetitions So in any case, I sort of thought, look, I'm gonna complete it there. I'm not getting kind of the optimal thing I want from that, and I wanna begin this new one. So I kind of said that done. Cool.
And then the other 3 around the mind creating a blog for the family trip. So I showed you a few videos and photos when we sort of took so many. Oh, there was there is a lot a lot a lot. A thousand of photos. No. Definitely not a not definitely definitely not a 1,000, but I couldn't very, very quickly. 150 a day. You know, I think if I was to just roughly, roughly calculate it, Let me choose this. I'm gonna try to select and just go on select every single one to see what it tells you. Oh, you think what do you actually think?
[00:02:57] Kyrin Down:
I reckon you you had a solid crack at 500.
[00:03:02] Unknown:
500, he says. Let's see. Oh, my god. What is going on? No. It'd be about it'd be about 200. Okay. About 200. Yeah. Yeah. How much? How much? How much? But what I did do is so in terms of creating the vlog Do you care about your baby? I know. No, no, not at all. But what I tried to do, and it progressively got harder. So when we got there, no, even before we got there, so from the day we were leaving, I was creating, let's just say a little video of what we were doing when we were up to every 6 hours, let's say through the day. So I do a video, we're on the plane with video, we arrived at the place, We're going out for a walk. But as the trip went on and on and on, it got it got harder in a sense of I a was forgetting to do it. B was more immersed in the travel and wanting to do it. And then see also getting tired.
And towards the tail end of the trip, I got sick. When we were sick, we were at Disneyland and then traveling back home. And all that period, like, I didn't want to be recording because it was either we were stressed or we were carrying heaps of stuff. And I'm like, well, what's the point of of doing it? I guess in retrospect, maybe that would have been the whole entire package of the log is there's one of the things in memory now it's starting to fade away some of the suffering that was experienced in the travel and just the highlights of Yeah. It was really, really great. Yeah. So it would have been nice to capture a few of the videos where it wasn't as great. Although, however, I did I did capture the video from where we got locked out of the room. So I was like, yeah, you know, we're locked out. So yes, we got locked out of one of our rooms in Osaka. The third one, I want to start to create our book list for 99 must read books how'd you go with that it went around I did it right at the beginning which is good thank god I did that otherwise it wouldn't have gone down so I combined basically current list with my list Your list you have way more than 99 books. Yeah. My list is 400.
[00:04:51] Kyrin Down:
I think that we've done 304 100 book reviews. Yeah. So that's a lot. That's a lot to go from. I have.
[00:04:56] Unknown:
Yeah. So I kind of combined yours and mine, and I think I capped it off at like 7 out of 10 or 7 and a half out of 10. Okay. Which actually got it to it's like 88 or 89 or something like that. So then get to 99, it's a little bit less. Now I've I've created the list to a certain point, And I think I need to just come back to it not this following month, but in a while of, okay, what's the next steps? How do I feel in the rest of it? How am I actually going to use it? Because what I'm starting to think about doing with it, it's probably a bit of effort to do and we'll talk about it in meanderings. But yeah, it's just I did it. I did I did as much as I could. I did it right at the beginning because thank god I wouldn't be getting otherwise. I've actually got a book review tomorrow and that's going to be one of my highest rated books. Really? Higher than Georgia Oils, nineteen eighty four? I mean, that are equivalent. Right. I guess it was pretty high.
On the on the scale of Karen. That's a 9. Nice. Wow. Okay.
[00:05:52] Kyrin Down:
Then you have to add that to your list. Damn. Okay. Good.
[00:05:56] Unknown:
4th one, just start taxation preparations for the end of the year. Yep. That one was a really easy one to to start it. The end of year is End of financial end of financial year. End of June for us. End of June for us. And then the last one is just attempting to be double as kind 3 times minimum in my day to day things. Did you know suggestion of ass chocolates? No, I didn't know. I forgot about that, which I did not so you know that probably would have made it easier but this one this one was like I really considered done not that I was super conscious about it but I found myself through the whole month anyways being quite kind in a lot of situations. I I can only really recall a few times, and it was while I was in the Japanese trip that I was like, oh, man, this absolute asshole or something like that. But beyond that, I was I was generally pretty kind through the month, which is good. That's good. Yeah. Yeah. It was like May May 2024. It went well. It was good. It was good. Well out of 10. Excellent.
[00:06:47] Kyrin Down:
So I had a bunch of goals, but these were all very much dependent on, I guess, being in location in Brazil and what I was kind of planning to do and then obviously coming back to Australia, mum, all of that, it, it didn't completely throw it out of the water, but I had to kind of rejig a little bit. So, eye contact smile touching and don't attempt iffy jokes. Well, I was thinking of doing that in Portuguese, so that was kind of a write off, but I was still I've been working on that. Yeah, it's getting better. Get out of the house by 10 a. M. At the latest I've I was almost doing that. I switched it to 11, so I'm like 10:10 am. That's really early. Come on, people. Let's be reasonable.
[00:07:29] Unknown:
And I can attest the car and didn't get out of the proverbial house that I own till 11. A little bit after 11 AM tonight. Yeah.
[00:07:36] Kyrin Down:
And, yeah, it's it was, it was kind of like fun and useful, but it's also I don't get much done if I, if I'm doing that. So the reason I had this goal was because I wouldn't be practicing Portuguese, so it was to get out of the house. That was the reason. Now, if I, if I do that here in Brisbane, there's I mean, what am I going to do? I guess I can go train earlier. Or
[00:07:59] Unknown:
Yeah, would you? Would you go try an earlier?
[00:08:02] Kyrin Down:
Not not at the moment. Okay, cool. So that one was was it was more I changed the kind of like just be doing something by 10 I am, I guess. Okay. So try and survive plus reach out to other podcasters. So I did actually on the just before I left Brazil, do a interview conversation with on another person's podcast. Yes, actually. Pottery, he's going to release that, I don't know, some sometime soon ish, I guess. And yeah, just some other people like, so Wes from the Habia Bourbon and Boulder Dash, she reached out and I was like, the best, you know, the best excuse ever. My mom passed away a couple of days ago. I'm probably not going to. Not. It's still going to be very easy thing to be able to get to connect and do it. Yeah. I mean, I just didn't feel like doing it. So yeah.
So that one is okay. Watch Coach Backman vids and read push harder again. So there's one I'm handstand related. I actually did a fair bit of research. I didn't watch all of the coach Backman. So half got it done. But what was like the total amount of hours? Oh, man. He's got he's got a lot of videos, so it's probably be 3 or 4 hours worth of content. Okay. So it's quite a lot. Yeah. He's got a decent amount. He's got some really good stuff. So I wanted to take it slowly as well and do that. Only Portuguese entertainment or useful vids in the evening? No, not really. I spent a lot of time watching Vikings and other random stuff with my brother. So were you doing that when you were in Brazil there?
For the 2 or 3 days that I was there at the start of the morning? Yes. And then yeah, then it was just like, no, I can't remember what day I came back. It was I think it was the 7th, something like that. So I mean, I did. Yeah, I did have a week there, I guess. So. Yeah. Yeah. And other ones research some places events that could be amazing. Didn't do that. Try to simplify your language and use less abstract words. Kind of. Kind of. So that was related to the book review on semantics, which I really, really enjoyed. And I didn't do it for myself, but I was watching other people and kind of using that that framework of saying, okay, what exactly are they saying? If they're saying something is stable or the Bitcoin protocol needs to remain stable, That is completely abstract, almost useless unless they hone it down and refine it. So it was kind of interesting Hearing some language like that and going, okay, I can see how this is actually not helpful. He'd be saying stuff, but nothing is really being said yapping, Yapping. Yapping. Yapping. Yeah. And then the last one was make the effort to ask about classes. So I did actually ask, for for a run club or there was like these people doing chugging and jogging and running in Brazil. I went over and chatted with them and the guy's like, Oh, yeah, no, it's like super select clientele.
I'll pass your number on to the main dude. And he obviously didn't pass it on.
[00:10:59] Unknown:
So it was just like, Oh, okay. Yeah. Stumbled upon a super selective run club. Well. Wow. I don't know. I don't know how selective it was, but I think they were trying to be cool. Right. Yeah. Like, be able to protect it. I don't think there's any I'm trying to think of as any run clubs like that that I've heard of here.
[00:11:15] Kyrin Down:
I mean, there's there's ones where you'd like to be fast. So yeah, there's some I guess that they would guard by the speed like, hey, you have to be running at about this pace. That's probably the Southbank runners. I think they I don't know if they've cut offs. But yeah, you're just like an expected. You're gonna be bothering. Yeah. Like if you come along and you're not going along with them, it's like, well, you're just kind of running on your own, really. Yeah. Yeah. Correct. So and I was doing some break to breakdance classes here. I think I think it was 2 or 3. And I missed yesterday's obviously because we're in Sydney. I'm not going to go the next one just because I'm flying out 2 days after that. So yeah, it was a month where I didn't focus on trying to improve my goals and hit them. And so, yeah, it was, it was a month of, I wouldn't say relaxation, but of
[00:12:06] Unknown:
dealing with life. Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. Just existing pretty much to be honest. Kind of kind of. I would I mean, if if you had come on here and said, yeah, I just didn't even look at my monthly goals for this particular model. I'd be like, yeah. It was good. It was almost at that level. Yeah. I did have a little look. So,
[00:12:23] Kyrin Down:
we'd like to thank our supporters and people who've done that, and boosted into the show. Yep. We haven't really gotten once again the end of the month, and I don't think I've actually tallied up the April ones yet. So I'll do a double. So and but yeah, no, you know, it's just we haven't been putting out as much stuff. So we missed last week's episode because we're in Japan and I just didn't want to
[00:12:48] Unknown:
fanacle around with trying to set it up and all that. Yeah. And, you were sick as well. So that was just a bit of a shit show. It would have been it would have been one like it would have been a pretty
[00:13:00] Kyrin Down:
heavy task with the fact that we barely like planned it. So be like, oh, yeah, let's see this. And they're calling you. And you wanted to use your phone. And I'm like, no, I don't want to use that audio. We do have a couple of live people in the live people. I hope they're live in the chat. They're definitely not AI. We have, Patricia or Mazur, your mom, your mom is as usual saying. And then we have, Dimelix Quantum Husky. And he actually asked a pretty good question. He goes, What do you use to track goals? An app or just notes?
[00:13:28] Unknown:
Well, for me, it's purely an Excel spreadsheet. I've got a an Excel spreadsheet that I call the master spreadsheet. Mhmm. And it has, again, how many tabs? Probably like 40 tabs. And it hosts things between my finances to my training to, Yeah, just a top everything master, right? So everything. But in amongst that, I've got 2 tabs, 1, which is the one I'm reading right now, which is like 31 year old monthly goals. And then another tab, it's a 31 year old annual goal. So I just use spreadsheet, actually for me the easiest there is. I'm I'm currently part of a group school of mastery.
They have like lots of templates and templates and whatnot, which they use Google sheets. So it's it's something like what you'd see equivalent in like the market, I guess. Like this is probably something that I could package up and resell or something like that, but it just works for me. So spreadsheet input, input, input, new tab. I don't know what I would do if I would just, like, accidentally deleted it for whatever reason. It wouldn't be up. I'd be like, yeah, this is annoying. However, it's set up in a way that, you know, even if it did that, I could just okay. Cool. It's July. Go again. I'm not really going back and retrospecting on thing a couple of months back, although I did for a bit of fun, going open like a 29 year old and a 28 year old monthly goals tab, just see what I was tracking and doing around then. And just changes the differences in what I was prioritizing and focusing on. But it's twitchy. Yep. For me, I
[00:14:54] Kyrin Down:
I guess I've got a lot like a lot of different things that all eventually kind of combine together. So the main one is just a app note. I use Google Keep. I used to use Evernote and that's just some lines that I wrote down. Yep. I use Yeah. If I had a set number of hours of practice or something when I did an hour, I just change it from 6 hours to 5 hours. So I'm just kind of constantly doing it like that rather than ticking off boxes or I think I've gotten to a certain extent past the the feelgoods of doing the ticking or having the yeah, having the thing. I still kind of do that for my fitness tracking, which I write down physically and then I convert that over into a, an actual Excel spreadsheet. And that one, once I've fit, transferred it over, I put a line through it. So I guess that's a way of being like, yeah, done.
But it's it's kind of haphazard, to be honest. It's not, not super fancy. No, no. It's kind of I think we always say that they're just kind of we're using them to just guide us to where we roughly want to go. Yeah. I roughly want to get better at Portuguese language. Roughly want to have better handstands. I don't know what the end goal looks like per se. So these are all just on the way on the way to do that. If you want to type in the chat what you do as well or if you you take monthly calls or, I mean, if you're tracking, it'll be easy. Interesting.
[00:16:24] Unknown:
I'm assuming I'm assuming that there's lots of apps out there that have that sort of setup. I think, Apple well, it's not super reason now but I know in the one of the latest updates they created a thing that I deleted probably deleted it. It was called journal. So if you wanted like a really, really easy way, I guess for sometimes like goal setting or journaling and whatnot, they have like a actual internal app that you can just use and it asks you, hey, how are you feeling when something happened or recalling something, but I think it also allowed you to put goals and track them against it. So I was never I also tried to do goals or tasks and actions in like a Microsoft task tracker thing, which I do still use, But it's very much around tasks and things I've got to get done. Not so much goals. They just they've all been a spreadsheet. Yeah. Yeah. I've stopped.
[00:17:16] Kyrin Down:
I've stopped tracking and keeping as much score as I used to. I think a year ago I was I was track tracking a lot more things. Am I on top of this, etcetera, etcetera? Yeah. Now it's going to, I'm kind of just going with the flow. Yeah. Well, you're saying you stopped doing the tracking of your measurements. Yeah. Like waist size, waist and weight. And it was it was just getting I didn't see the point anymore. It wasn't a Y anymore. Yeah, exactly. Good question. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, Dimar. So let's jump on to June. What's coming up for June? June 2024. All right. Well, overall,
[00:17:48] Unknown:
the writing of it, so the top line level, it's really getting back into my routine, and starting to prepare for the next evolution of life, evolution. So what does that mean? Well, what does that find out? So one, the first goal here in the body space, the only one once again, and I've only got a total of 5. I'm keeping it at 5. Yeah. The first one is pursuing the gymnastics calisthenics effort for this month pretty strongly. So I've got it's it is gymnastics slash calisthenics, but there's also another slash which is more running as well. So it's a bit of a mixture. Why? Because as I originally started creating the plan for it and the minutes that I would be spending, I got disappointed that it was gonna be like sub one hour. I was like, oh, no, that's kind of annoying. Okay. Can I add a little bit extra? Yeah, I can do some running. Awesome. So that's fulfilling it. But predominantly, it's that again, what's it looking like at the moment?
This one, I didn't set any goals of I want to do a plus 30% of my hands and hold or I want to be able to do this many amount of pull ups, but it is do more of those things. Like, I enjoy them. But just I I in the previous programs or if I left my program as is, I would really not do them that often. It'd be maybe once a fortnight or once every 3 weeks. So now it's gonna be almost every day. In particular, actually, if anything is just progressing to be able to do more of them, right, just more repetitions. I've got 3 in the mind space.
First one is I want to create or leverage. So as I mentioned, there's probably some already out there. So I was trying to find some and reimplement or create my own, the return on investment style calculator for my own personal users, which I remember when I talked about it in the annual goals, you were like, oh, yeah. I'd be, you know, interested to see what you mean by like all creating that. The annual goal one was, it was create a return on investment with risk included cheat fees for future decisions. And there's a couple of things that have presented in life at the moment, just an opportunities where I've gone have like a really, like, I really do need like some standardized way to be looking at this.
A couple of days ago, there was an opportunity that I was looking at. And so I was putting together like 4 different ways and options. And I found myself using a little quality called like I call it like hardness, like our hardware beat to actually pursue these variations. And then talking with someone else, like, the day after about another opportunity, I found myself kind of like, oh, okay. Well, this is this possibility, this possibility, and, you know, what's what's the return on investment, but with the risk included, like, you know, and I don't want to be definitely moving at the moment to more risk averse as I am to being risk heavy. So that means of course, I mean, it's husky, right?
Oh, husky, probably we would write the safest. Hey, you're saying it's $0. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be in. Yeah. It's one of those where I'm not going to be jumping on the bandwagon even if it feels like, hey, hey, I was going to go well.
[00:20:46] Kyrin Down:
You never know crypto's gonna boom that's true one will be telling us
[00:20:50] Unknown:
about how he's gonna sell vienna to I'll be like oh yeah you know I'll try to sell sell the quarter of the house and I've just got I now created a new coin so I think we'll do that. But, it'll be interesting to see. I wanna know if there's an existing one out there. So it's a return on investment calculator with risk included, like some sort of sheet or some, ability to input things and classify things and compare them in a hopefully easier way than I I think it took me I was comparing these options and it probably took me 40 something minutes doing it all. I was like, oh, man, I really had created the sheet now by now. Like this would have been maybe a lot quicker. So the other one is I'm gonna read one page a day of the French book. Now, this is a very, very easy goal. However, going back in all these reading trying to read the successful hasn't been hasn't been successful. So I'm gonna make it really simple myself. Right next to my bed. One page a day, morning or night. I can't where it is.
So I do 1 page. Yeah. Get through it, then shit. Move on. Okay. If I feel motivated, you know, do a couple more pages, but it also I made a note. It's gonna be it's gonna be a minimum of 30 this month. Yep. Minimum of 30, folks. There you go. Keep me in line. Alright. Let's see if you can do it. 4th one, I'm back in the Valley Creation bandwagon. So the reason for this probably not more is because this one has quite a few things in it. So it's book reviews. I've got a book review right there that I've got to do. There's another one that I'm about to finish as well that I probably want to get through as well. You will be doing some book reviews anyways. Yeah, I don't want to be trying.
Well, I want to create those high quality ones again. So you know, it's effort. It's time. So it's realistically 4 pieces. So it's effort there. There's monthly summary, which I'll talk about in the meanderings. I'll talk more about that. And then just podcasts in general. So there someone reached out and it was supposed to happen the podcast for an interview. So you kind of like line something back up. And I was like, man, I'm actually with how many things you actually have to do this. So that's going to be a huge one. And then 5th on the sole spaces, one maps up to English cube relationships.
So in my No, sorry, it was a change. This is more around being calm rather than frantic. So the way I'm doing it for this particular goal is in my daily journal, demonstrated myself a time the day so very being really specific around where I chose to become over being frantic. So hopefully with that leads me to do it's rather than if I write be more calm, calm rather than frantic in all the moments I just don't think about it. I was like, when you talk about it a lot that or you you set a goal or intent like that, you won't do it. You don't think about it in the moment because you're just going day to day life unless you're reminding yourself every bloody 10 seconds or something like that.
But if I am hoping if I'm doing it at the end of the day or in the mornings when I do it and I kind of summarize the day is gone and it makes me, oh, yeah. I've got to find out a time when I was calm over the frantic that at the very least, it's like it's easy to spot when I just naturally do it or easy to catch myself if there's a day or like, oh, man, I was just frantic the whole day. Okay. I got to remember, like, when those happen, try to be calmer, blah, blah, blah, blah. So those are the 5 goals for the month of June. So plenty on plenty on those 5. Again, sounds like 5. Not many, but yeah, within them, there's some huge ones in there. Yeah, definitely. We'll get them on. Well, if you time, you can do the book review for next week. That'd be awesome. But that might be pushing it. Yeah. There's no way. No way. Very good.
[00:24:19] Kyrin Down:
I'm, I'm keeping it simple. Going back to April was, was amazing. I really enjoyed going to Brazil and just kind of chilling out. 1st time I chilled out for a long time and I'd say first time I was really happy. It's the happiest I've been in a long time. And, I just want to try and recapture that if possible. So yeah, I'm not allow yourself to be optimistic, flirty, happy and playful. That was that was what I was last time. And I think I did a pretty good job not not get too stuck up in the handstands, like having to eat once a day in the evening just because that's what you do, just because that's a normal routine and things like that.
No, I just want to try and recapture a bit of what I was feeling beforehand. So yeah, there's nothing. I mean, if anything, the other stuff would be kind of don't do things have been I was talking before once again, I'm a bit hungover right now. So making the poorer life choices
[00:25:20] Unknown:
in certain respects. Well, let me tell you one story. Right. So you're definitely sorry. Some of them are not shareable on this topic. No, not at all. I think it's you do really well when it comes to some of the goal setting around not adding but reducing I'd say yeah it's probably some reduction in some of these decisions that you have made in the last couple. Yeah. And
[00:25:39] Kyrin Down:
from from small to big I haven't been eating healthy. You know the I did one big cook whilst I was here with my brother. That was pretty good because we put some vegetables and meats and pasta and stuff like that. But I've been eating just a lot of random crap. Last night for dinner, I had 2 small. What were they beef Wellington? I mentioned like 2 little metals the size of a bottle cap to 3 bottle caps maybe stacked together. I had 4 little brownie things dunked in in chocolate, an oyster and, a cannoli. I think I think that was the extent of my eating. Oh, and a lot of alcohol. Jesus. So you made up the calories
[00:26:27] Unknown:
plenty enough with the alcohol. Yeah, it just doesn't.
[00:26:29] Kyrin Down:
They just run through me. They dissipate. So yeah. Yeah. Eat healthier. Get be be more rock solid with my sleep. Spend more time friends doing doing things, not going too hard at the handstands. Yeah. Just just chilling out a bit more, saying yes to things. That's that's kind of the plan. Yeah. And I won't have in the back of my mind,
[00:26:54] Unknown:
how's mom doing? Yeah. Maybe you need to come back to to Australia. Yeah, that's been and done. So hopefully Did you end up right? So did you end up actually writing any more other goals? Or it's just No. Basically that? That was just what I wrote down. And those other things I said were just kind of off the cuff. Yeah. So sort of trying to because what you're saying, like, when you're in over there in April, like you're really enjoying it. It was obviously catching up with a good friend. You were doing all your handstands, like, plenty of training and whatnot. Where right now, at least for me, it's felt like, yeah, you will you're in that undeniable slump because yeah, it happened right? Like that's not a difference.
But it'll be hopefully that trigger of cool recapture that and then maybe that freeing feeling of like, yeah, and again, that's we can continue on with this like to whatever it's the next step for it. Okay,
[00:27:42] Kyrin Down:
try and enjoy life. It's it's felt a little bit dull over this last month.
[00:27:48] Unknown:
So those are the June goals. Yep. For 2024. So fitness wise,
[00:27:52] Kyrin Down:
I've got a stolder for the first time. Correct. Did that just before I left? So that's some, some points for me in my, in my big fitness sheet. And that was good to tick off. I was feeling really great there. And then just this year, since I've been back, cold weather, you know, emotional things going on just just just feel like you're all gunked up. So I haven't haven't really progressed physically wise.
[00:28:21] Unknown:
Regressing. I'm devolving.
[00:28:22] Kyrin Down:
Devolving. Devolving. So I don't know what into,
[00:28:26] Unknown:
but something something it doesn't have sloth. Yeah. For myself, from fitness perspective, obviously taking I took completely off in Japan and run and do any training. Come back to caviar. I didn't even check. I don't think I've checked my weight in 2 months. Yeah. In either I can guarantee I don't know what's going on, folks. I must have broken through the whatever physical barrier allows you to put on weight or lose weight, but I don't think I have deviated away. So I'm either between 87.89 kilos and it hasn't changed for like 3 years. Okay. Like it does not change it. Have a massive day of eating or a couple of weeks of eating. Don't do that. Train a lot. Don't train a lot. It's fucking just sitting there the whole time. Doesn't doesn't matter. So yeah. My my body's cutting the same. Yeah. So honestly, if I had to guess, it would just been exactly so. There wasn't much change. I I did walk a lot. So you know, kinda like balance out the the calorie intake. For sure.
But when I got back from Japan and going back into training, it would that was good. That was nice to have a good force break where I didn't train for I think it was 13 days in total. Yeah. Training session to training session. Yeah. And that was really good. I was like, Oh, this is nice. But I was I was talking to you about it offline. Still, there's like little injuries, like the foot still hurts, man. The foot still hurts. And there's other little bits and bobs where I think the reality is I'm just not putting enough effort in the rehab of it. And also, as I'm telling this, obviously, not caring about it enough because I'm just continuing to do my training. But for the moment, it's really enjoyable. Because I just had that good gap of not doing it. And so just kind of fuels the passion of, oh, I want to get back into it and do something. So I'm already like excited for tomorrow morning's training. So I didn't train, last 2 days. Last night, I did try it in the Tuesday. I tried at 3:30 in the morning, which, but I didn't try it yet today. I didn't try it today. So I'm already, like, excited for tomorrow, which is a good thing. Cool. Cool.
Yeah. So you go fitness. Epic. Shooting girls, girls in general. Any other questions from. No, no, that's it. That's
[00:30:26] Kyrin Down:
it for here on the chat. So yeah, we'll end it up here is a value for value podcast. We really do enjoy hearing back from you at home and getting some some value from you guys. Like Dimelix gave us a cool question there. That was really great to know. And, and something for us to talk about because we don't typically talk about how how we write it down. So, what we just ask is you take time to share this podcast with a friend, someone who would enjoy it, how someone who's perhaps lacking some goals and needs an example of how they could maybe write them out for themselves. You could also I don't know. Yeah. Send some more comments in like like Dimelix has. You can I suppose go on to some of the social media and follow us there?
I do post things on Twitter and
[00:31:14] Unknown:
on Discord for when we go live. So if you get the chance, that's that's that's our notification system. Yeah, exactly. Well, you can use in YouTube and a few other places you can turn on the notification. Oh, yes. Yeah. Notifies if you do want that, but we do make the effort of putting it in other places just in case you don't whatever reason.
[00:31:32] Kyrin Down:
Yeah, we remind you. Exactly. And then the last one is you can help support us monetarily. It does cost a lot of time, energy, money to create all of these things. So sending us a boost to gram, which is a payment that you can do directly within your podcasting app. We actually just came back from a Bitcoin party in Sydney for the Bitcoin ETF that's getting released here. So it's moving. It's moving. People moving. And so it's, it's worth having a little play around with some of these things like Fountain. FM, Podcast Guru, True Fans, Podverse, rock solid apps funny any of them I would I would recommend recommend try that. Yeah, we tried it out start trying it. It's
[00:32:15] Unknown:
after yesterday night kind of gave me the inkling that it's like, okay, we're probably 2 years away, 3 years away where it's gonna become really common practice to utilize Bitcoin, to utilize the Toshiba and be present available easy. And but when that comes telling you guys you ought to be using it first you can now tell your friends be like yeah we are we were throwing around some satoshis around here. It's not about some tons of money just like yeah you were in the technology space well before any of this became like mainstream. Yep. You get a shirt if you, correct, send in a 100,000 to the mere mortals. It's a $100 shirt at the moment. Yeah. That's true. Oh, it's probably not going to get too much cheaper. More expensive than fear of God damn. Hey. Oh, yeah. Making moves here with the mere mortals shirts then. Oh, yes. Yes. If you do support us with that, we do give you obviously that value back. Yep. Believe me then and more or less, thank you very much for tuning in for the monthly girls this summer around. Tune in obviously for the next monthly girls. We will be doing the me and ring shortly. Yeah, right after this. So I'll send another link out shortly. Beautiful. Thank you very much. Your more or less wherever you are in the world. One out.
Try.
