Intro to Health/Wealth Psychology

Why you are stuck — and what to do about it.

You’re not imagining it.
The struggle you feel — whether it’s financial, emotional, or physical — isn’t just about you.
It’s about the invisible atmosphere you’re living in.

The neighborhood you wake up in.
The people you talk to.
The thoughts you’re surrounded by.
The habits that feel like home.

Most people stay stuck because they don’t realize they’re trapped in a collective psychological field — a kind of mental gravity pulling everyone in the same direction. And if that direction is downward — poverty, illness, passivity, excuses — guess what it does to you? It pulls you too.

This isn’t your fault.
But it is now your responsibility.

It begins with a truth that may hurt:
If you want health, you need to be around healthy people.
If you want wealth, you need to learn from — and live near — wealthy people.
If you’re wondering “How to get wealthy?”, it starts with who you’re listening to and what you’re absorbing.
If you want power, freedom, peace, joy… you need to step out of the environments where those things are missing.

That may mean leaving behind the friends who keep you small.
It might mean changing neighborhoods, even if you start with just a new job across town.
It might mean walking away from the life that’s killing you slowly — and building a new one, brick by brick.

Not all at once.
Not in one day.
But step by step — one decision, one change, one win at a time.

Step out of misery.
Before it becomes your identity.
Before it kills your chances at a Better Life, a future of peace, purpose, and true freedom.
This is your moment to Get Out Of Poverty, to start the climb, to reject the lies that say you can’t change.

This is your wake-up call.
This is the beginning.

Let’s go.

Step Out of Misery

Health/Wealth Psychology: Why the Collective Psychological Environment You’re In Rubs Off on You

Misery isn’t always loud. Sometimes it whispers, blending into your daily life until you forget it’s even there. You wake up tired. You hear the same complaints. You go through the motions. And deep down, you feel something’s off—but you’re not sure what.

Here’s a hard truth:
Something is holding you back. Probably not just one thing. Probably all of it.

And here’s an even harder truth:
You can’t heal in the same environment that made you sick.

Your Environment Is More Powerful Than Your Willpower

You are not just influenced by the people around you. You are shaped by them. What they talk about, what they value, what they tolerate—this becomes your norm. If you live among people who are unhealthy, unmotivated, and resigned to struggle, that mindset seeps into your bones, whether you notice it or not.

Want better health? Live among people who care about their bodies.
Want more financial freedom? Hang out with people who think in terms of investments, not just expenses.
Want to grow? Surround yourself with people who are already in motion.

Because here’s the thing: no one is coming to save you. If you want out, you have to walk out—step by step.

I lived in a medium size city once. Had an apartment in the center but only 3 kilometers to the east the average lifespan was 55 years and 3 kilometers to the west the average lifespan was 85. Difference in economy was 1 to 4

The Magnetic Pull of the Collective Field

Whether it’s uplifting or destructive, the collective psychological field you’re in has a powerful magnetic force. It pulls you toward its center—toward what it defines as normal, acceptable, and possible. And most of the time, you don’t even feel it happening. You just start believing that “this is how life is.” The gossip, the fear of change, the shame around ambition, the slow decay of health—it all becomes invisible background noise. But it’s there, wrapping itself around your identity like a fog. The scariest part? You probably think you’re making your own choices, when in fact you’re just echoing what the field around you allows.

This is why change feels unnatural at first. When you try to break away—when you apply for a course, say no to old friends, look for a better job—your environment will resist. Not because it’s evil. But because it wants you back where it’s safe and predictable. But predictable isn’t the same as good. Staying “safe” can kill your potential.

Why You Resist the Very Thing That Could Save You

Here’s the paradox: You want out—but when the door opens, you hesitate. You say you’re ready—but when change knocks, you flinch. Why? Don’t you want a Better Life?

Because deep inside, your brain doesn’t crave success.
It craves certainty.

Your current environment, no matter how miserable, is known. It’s predictable. It may be filled with stress, scarcity, illness, or frustration—but you’ve built a psychological map around it. You know where the dangers are. You know the social codes. You know the excuses that let you off the hook. And somewhere inside, your brain whispers: “At least we understand this place.”

This is the core of internal resistance. It’s not laziness. It’s not lack of ambition. It’s your nervous system screaming safety first. Every time you try to rise, it interprets that unfamiliar path—new people, new identity, new standards—as a threat. So it fires off thoughts like:

  • “Who do you think you are?”

  • “You’re not like those people.”

  • “It’s too late for you.”

  • “What if you fail?”

  • “You’ll lose everyone if you change too much.”

These thoughts aren’t random. They’re defense mechanisms. Psychological bodyguards, trying to protect you from shame, rejection, uncertainty—even if that protection keeps you trapped in misery.

You’ve Been Conditioned to Belong to Your Struggles

From childhood, you’ve been absorbing emotional cues. Maybe you grew up in a home where ambition was mocked. Or you learned that being too happy or too successful made others uncomfortable. Or you were taught that struggle is noble, that suffering is proof of worth.

So now, when things start to get better—when life could open up—you sabotage it. Not because you want pain, but because pain is familiar. In many ways, misery becomes an identity. A badge. A language. A tribe.

And here’s the brutal truth: If your identity is tied to your struggle, you will unconsciously protect the struggle—just to avoid losing yourself.

This is why real change feels like death at first. Because part of you has to die:

  • The version of you that was tolerated in toxic circles.

  • The beliefs that kept you from asking for more.

  • The comfort you found in chaos.

That’s not easy. But it’s necessary.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken.
You’re conditioned. And conditioning can be undone—but only if you’re willing to face the truth of what’s really holding you back.

The Lie of the Excuse: How You Justify Staying Miserable

Let’s get brutally honest.
One of the most seductive, invisible traps in a life of misery is this: the excuse.

Excuses are powerful. They sound rational. They sound sympathetic. They even sound wise.
But at their core, excuses are just one thing: a well-dressed justification for staying stuck.

We all have them. And most of us don’t even realize how often we repeat them. They become internal slogans—mantras we whisper to ourselves when change gets too close.

Here are some of the most common ones:

“I didn’t grow up with opportunities.”

Maybe you didn’t. Maybe your childhood was full of struggle, chaos, or lack.
But here’s the truth: that might explain where you started, but it does not decide where you’re going.

Your past is a place to learn from—not live in. When you use your background as a permanent excuse, you are saying, “My past is more powerful than my future.”

“I have health issues.”

Many people do. And yes, it’s real. But what do you do with that truth?
There’s a difference between acknowledging your challenges and building your entire identity around them.

The moment you say, “I can’t get better because I’m sick,” you turn your illness into a ceiling. You give up the fight before you even try. You start collecting more symptoms, more stories, more reasons to stay unwell.

Instead of healing, you start curating your condition like a museum exhibit.
Most of your illness is likely related to your life style. If you really want to Get Healthy, look at your lifestyle.

“I’m too old / too young / too late.”

This one is poison disguised as philosophy. It sounds like self-awareness, but it’s actually fear in disguise. People of all ages start over. People with fewer resources than you have gone further. It’s not your age—it’s your narrative.

You say “it’s too late,” but what you really mean is: “I’m afraid of looking foolish starting over.”
Start anyway. Look foolish. Grow anyway.

“I can’t afford it.”

Maybe not yet. But is that the end of the conversation, or the beginning of a plan?
People say this and then spend hundreds on distractions, junk food, or things that numb them. The problem isn’t always money—it’s priorities.

Excuses love the word “can’t.” But what they usually mean is “won’t.”

“I don’t know where to start.”

Fine. But how long will that be your excuse? Six more months? Another decade?

You don’t need a perfect plan. You need to stop waiting to feel ready.
Nobody feels ready. Ready is a lie we use to avoid risk.
Start sloppy. Start scared. Just start.

Excuses Give You the Illusion of Innocence

Here’s the most dangerous thing about excuses:
They make you feel justified. They make your pain feel righteous. They let you hold onto your misery like it’s a badge you earned.

And the more you repeat them, the more they become true for you.
Not because they are true—but because you’ve built your identity around them.

In a strange way, excuses make your current situation feel comfortable. They allow you to avoid shame, avoid effort, and avoid change—all while still being able to say, “It’s not my fault.”

But let’s be real:
When you keep telling yourself why you’re poor, why you’re sick, why you’re uneducated, why you’re stuck… what you’re really doing is claiming ownership of your limits.

You’re not just stuck—you’re defending the prison.

Excuses Are a License to Stay Miserable

Every time you explain your situation instead of challenging it, you are confirming it. You are stamping it with approval. You are saying:
“This is just the way it is, and I deserve it.”

You don’t just describe your misery—you begin to believe you’re entitled to it.

That’s how excuses steal your power.
They make you the victim and the jailer.
They keep you talking about change but never doing it.

Excuses are mental comfort food. But comfort is what got you here.
You don’t need comfort right now. You need truth. Even if it hurts.

Because here’s the truth:
Every excuse delays the life you actually want. Every excuse is a day wasted. Every excuse builds a deeper identity of limitation.

The Prison of Habit: Why You Keep Choosing What’s Familiar Over What’s Freeing

You don’t rise to the level of your dreams.
You fall to the level of your habits.

That’s the quiet truth no one likes to hear. Because deep down, it’s not just your environment, or your past, or your excuses that keep you stuck—it’s your repetition of what’s familiar. Your daily habits. Your automatic reactions. The things you do without thinking.

They feel like you.
But they’re not you.
They’re just patterns you’ve repeated for so long, your nervous system calls it “home.”

Old Habits Feel Safe—Even When They’re Killing You

Here’s how the trap works:
Your brain is wired to protect you from danger. And “danger” doesn’t mean what you think it means. Danger, to your brain, isn’t just physical threat—it’s uncertainty. The unknown. The unfamiliar.

So if you’ve spent years in financial struggle, for example, your brain sees that as “normal.”
If you’ve lived with anxiety or poor health long enough, your system registers that state as “safe.”
You may hate it. You may cry over it. But you’ll keep choosing it—because it’s what you know.

This is the great betrayal of habit:
It convinces you that the familiar is safe, and the new is dangerous—even when the “safe” is slowly destroying you.

The Repetition Becomes Identity

Wake up late. Rush. Skip breakfast. Complain. Check your phone. Procrastinate. Feel guilty.
Do it again tomorrow. And the next day.

Eventually, it doesn’t feel like a habit anymore—it feels like you.
You don’t say, “I procrastinate.”
You say, “I’m lazy.”
You don’t say, “I’m stuck in a loop.”
You say, “That’s just how I am.”

But that’s the lie.
You are not your habits.
Your habits are just unconscious agreements you’ve made with your past self.

And those agreements can be broken.

Don’t let repetition of bad habits become your hamster wheel of safety!

The Comfort of the Known vs. The Risk of the Better

At every moment, your brain asks:
“Do we stay where it’s predictable—or do we risk the unknown?”

And almost every time, without conscious effort, you choose predictability.
Because even suffering feels safe when it’s the suffering you’re used to.

  • You stay in the same unhealthy routines instead of trying something new, because “at least I know how this feels.”

  • You turn down opportunities that scare you, because “what if it goes wrong?”

  • You keep repeating destructive thought patterns because they match your story of who you’ve always been.

In this loop, safety becomes more valuable than progress.
You protect the comfort zone, even if it’s slowly killing your health, draining your money, and numbing your potential.

Habit Is Stronger Than Intention

You can want to change. You can believe in new ideas.
But if your body wakes up and repeats the old routine, the old life continues.

This is why transformation isn’t just about big decisions—it’s about small, daily rebellions against your automatic self.
Because left unchecked, your habits will keep voting for the same version of you. Over and over.

And the worst part? They don’t feel wrong. They feel safe. Familiar.
But familiarity is not the same as truth.
Comfort is not the same as good.
And safety is not the same as freedom.

If you want to change your life, you don’t just need motivation.
You need to disrupt your default.
Because habit is a powerful drug. It numbs the desire for growth. It whispers, “This is who you are,” when who you are is actually still unfolding.

The Emotional Cost of Staying Stuck: The Soul Debt You Keep Paying

Everyone talks about the cost of changing.
But almost no one talks about the price of staying the same.

Staying stuck isn’t neutral. It’s not “waiting it out” or “just coping.”
It’s emotional corrosion. A kind of slow, invisible suffering that gets heavier the longer you carry it.

And here’s the worst part:
It builds up quietly. No warning. No explosion. Just a gradual loss of energy, clarity, confidence, and self-respect—until one day, you don’t recognize yourself anymore.

You Start to Go Numb

At first, you’re frustrated. You talk about what you want. You make lists. You vent to your friends. You feel the fire.

But eventually, if you keep ignoring that inner pull to change, something worse happens than pain.
You go numb.

  • You stop dreaming, because dreaming hurts too much.

  • You stop trying, because trying has only led to disappointment.

  • You stop caring, not because you’re lazy—but because caring reminds you that you’re not where you’re supposed to be.

This is the death before death.
You’re still alive—but the part of you that believed is long gone.

Self-Betrayal Becomes the Default

Every time you ignore the truth you know deep down—every time you silence your own potential just to keep the peace or maintain your “story”—you betray yourself. Not once. But over and over.

And the emotional weight of self-betrayal is unbearable.

  • You look in the mirror and feel disconnected from who you see.

  • You feel resentment toward others who are growing—but deep down it’s resentment toward yourself.

  • You start to expect disappointment, not because life is cruel, but because you’ve trained yourself to avoid risk and call it “realism.”

It becomes your emotional baseline:
Low energy. Low expectations. Low self-worth.
But high anxiety, high irritability, high shame.

This is not because you’re broken.
It’s because you’ve stayed too long in a place your soul has outgrown.

You Mourn the Life You Didn’t Choose

And here’s the heartbreak no one talks about:
When you stay stuck long enough, you don’t just suffer in the present—you begin to grieve the future that never happened.

  • The version of you that could have been educated, strong, respected.

  • The version that could have left the toxic environment.

  • The version that could have spoken up, moved on, risen higher.

That grief doesn’t go away. It lingers. Like a ghost.
And it shows up as bitterness. Envy. A quiet sense of “it’s too late.”
Not because life closed the door on you—but because you kept it shut, day after day.

Stuck Has a Sound

It sounds like:

  • “I’m fine.”

  • “I’m just tired.”

  • “It is what it is.”

  • “Maybe next year.”

  • “I’ll start Monday.”

But your body knows better. Your soul hears the silence where joy used to be.
And every time you repeat those phrases, you reinforce the cage.
You decorate it. You normalize it. You call it “real life.”

But deep down, a voice is still whispering:
“This can’t be all there is.”

That voice is right. And every time you ignore it, the emotional cost grows.
Not just regret—but the slow erosion of your own belief in yourself.

The Plan

Mental Preparation: Reclaiming Your Mind Begins With Responsibility

Before you move neighborhoods, find new friends, or change careers—you must move your mind. Just a little! It’s preparation!

And the very first step is the hardest:
You must take full, brutal, radical responsibility.

Not blame. Not guilt. Not shame.
Responsibility.

That means saying:
“This is my life. No one is coming to fix it. I built it. I maintain it. And I will change it.”

The Power of Responsibility

Taking responsibility is terrifying at first. Because it means there are no more excuses, no more blaming your parents, your boss, the government, your partner, your trauma, or the economy.

But it is also the most powerful moment of your life.
Because the minute you take responsibility—you take the controls.

Responsibility turns victims into architects.
And your mind must become the construction site before anything in the outside world can change.

Mental Preparations That Build Real Change

Here’s how to prepare your inner world before anything changes in the outer one:

1. Examine Your Beliefs—and Flunk Them

Write them down. The silent scripts. The old mental graffiti like:

  • “I’m not good with money.”

  • “People like me don’t get healthy.”

  • “I’m not smart enough.”

  • “I never follow through.”

  • “I don’t have time.”

Now look at each one and ask:
Does this belief serve me? Or sabotage me?
If it sabotages—flunk it. Rip it up. Call it what it is: a lie you’ve been hypnotized into.

Then replace it with something that serves you. Even if you don’t fully believe it yet:

  • “I’m learning to manage money.”

  • “My health is a daily choice.”

  • “I grow smarter every time I try.”

  • “I’m building discipline one hour at a time.”

Your brain needs new code if it’s going to run a new program.

2. Repeat the Right Story—Out Loud

Affirmations aren’t magic—but repetition is.
When you say the same thing every day, your brain listens.
Tell yourself the truth before it becomes true.

  • “I take full responsibility for my future.”

  • “Every choice I make today shapes the person I become.”

  • “Excuses are over. Ownership has begun.”

  • “I can create a life that feels good to live in.”

Say them daily. Write them on your wall. Record them on your phone. Make your voice the first coach you ever trust.

3. Reward Mental Victories

If you catch yourself thinking betterreward yourself.

  • Said no to a victim thought? Good. Smile. Breathe.

  • Replaced a toxic belief with a strong one? Give yourself a point.

  • Walked past the trap of “I can’t” and whispered “I’m learning”? That’s a win.

We’re retraining your nervous system here. Just like dogs learn with treats, your brain learns with praise and pattern disruption.

4. Discipline the Negative Loop

Use a physical anchor. A rubber band on your wrist.
Every time you notice:

  • Complaining

  • Self-pity

  • Blame

  • Excuses

  • Negativity you’ve already outgrown

Snap it. Not as punishment—but as disruption. To remind your brain:
“We don’t do this anymore.”

You’re building awareness.
And awareness is how freedom begins.

5. Create Rituals of Ownership

Ownership is a muscle. Build it with small, daily rituals:

  • 5 minutes of silence every morning. Let responsibility land in your body.

  • Journaling: “What am I responsible for today?”

  • Mirror check: Look yourself in the eye. Ask, “What am I choosing?”

  • End-of-day audit: Did I live in excuses or in power today?

Don’t chase motivation. Build systems that remind you who you’re becoming.

6. Get Comfortable With Discomfort

Prepare yourself mentally: this path will feel wrong at first.
Why? Because your system has been wired for comfort—not for growth.

Discomfort is not a signal to quit.
It’s proof that you’re reprogramming.

Tell yourself:
“This resistance is not a sign of failure. It’s a sign of departure.”

You’re not dying.
You’re detoxing from the identity that kept you small.

Responsibility Is Not a Burden—It’s a Door

When you say, “I am responsible,”
you are not blaming yourself for everything that happened.
You’re declaring that from this moment forward, you are the author.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about power.

And the more you train your mind to think in ownership—not excuses, not fear, not shame—the more unstoppable you become.

Change Your Habits, Change Your Fate: Building a Life That Supports You

Mental preparation is powerful. But if it’s not followed by new behavior, it becomes another empty idea filed away in your brain. Beliefs don’t change your life—habits do.

You can think positive, journal, meditate, manifest, and read all the self-help books in the world…
But if you’re still doing what you’ve always done—you will still get what you’ve always gotten.

It’s time to break the spell.
It’s time to train the body to match the mind.

What Habits Are Keeping You Small?

Let’s get brutally honest for a moment. Here are the types of habits that hold people in misery:

  • Eating trash that kills your energy.

  • Waking up late and scrambling through the day.

  • Scrolling endlessly and numbing your mind.

  • Gossiping, complaining, or surrounding yourself with negativity.

  • Staying physically inactive—like your body doesn’t matter.

  • Not drinking enough water or getting real sunlight.

  • Going to bed whenever, like your sleep is optional.

  • Smoking, vaping, binge drinking, self-medicating.

These aren’t harmless quirks.
They are reinforcements of a life you say you want to escape.

Every time you repeat them, you’re voting for the life you don’t want.
And every time you replace one, you’re casting a new vote for the future you do want.

Let’s start there.

Habit 1: Eat Like Your Life Depends on It (Because It Does)

What you eat is not just about your weight. It’s about your brain, your mood, your clarity, your discipline.
Junk food destabilizes you. It hijacks your energy and leaves you emotionally brittle.

Every time you eat like crap, you’re feeding your future failure.

New habit:

  • Eat whole foods. More plants. Less processed.

  • Learn one healthy recipe per week.

  • Drink water before coffee.

  • Grocery shop with a list and a plan.

  • Ask: “Will this fuel my freedom or feed my fog?”

You need REAL energy for your new journey. So you need to eat healthy.

 

Habit 2: Move Your Body—No Matter What

Exercise is non-negotiable.
You don’t need a gym. You don’t need a plan. You don’t need motivation.
You just need to move.

Exercise is a miracle drug.
It boosts your mood, strengthens your willpower, improves sleep, increases resilience, and literally reprograms your brain.

If you do NOTHING else…
Just move. Every day. Even 10 minutes.

New habit:

  • Walk every day—even if it’s just around the block.

  • Do squats and push-ups in your bedroom.

  • Stretch while watching Netflix.

  • Dance alone like a maniac.

  • Join a class—even if you suck at it.

Whatever you choose in life, exercise will make you better at it. Period.

Habit 3: Fix Your Sleep or Stay Stuck Forever

Sleep is not rest. It is recovery, repair, and rewiring.
If you don’t sleep, your mind stays foggy, your emotions stay unstable, and your discipline gets shredded.

And if you’re always “too tired” to change, this is probably the root cause.

New habit:

  • Set a consistent wake-up time, even if it hurts at first.

  • Get up one hour earlier than your comfort zone—train yourself to move.

  • Count back 8 hours and commit to a real bedtime.

  • No screen time 30 minutes before sleep.

  • Stop using your phone as a pillow.

Yes, the first 2–3 days may suck.
But after that, your body will adapt. You’ll start to feel power come back.
You’ll wake up like a leader—not a victim.

The perfect sleep will make sure you have more energy. And as I mentioned before: You need energy for this journey!

Habit 4: Cut the Poison—Smoking, Vaping, Drinking, Sugar

Let’s not sugarcoat this.
Smoking does not calm you. It’s killing you. Slowly and expensively.
Drinking doesn’t make you more social. It makes you numb and weak.

You know this.
You don’t need more info. You need to stop lying to yourself.

New habit:

  • Ask for help. Join a group. Go online. Get accountable.

  • Replace the ritual. If you smoke during stress—learn to breathe, walk, or write.

  • Visualize the real cost. Look at your lungs. Look at the long-term.

  • Snap your wristband every time you crave poison. Remind yourself: I don’t do that anymore.

You deserve a future.
But that future needs lungs, clarity, and discipline.

Cutting the poison will energize you. And as I told you a few times before: You need energy for this journey!

Your Habits Are the Blueprint of Your Future

You don’t need to do everything at once.
But you do need to start doing something differently—now.

Every time you repeat a bad habit, you confirm the old identity.
Every time you do something better, no matter how small, you plant a seed of the new one.

Change happens one repetition at a time.
Your future is built by the habits you tolerate—or the ones you create.

So ask yourself tonight:
“What habits do I want to see more of in my life?”

And then start acting like the answer matters.

You Will Fail—And That’s Exactly the Point

Let’s stop pretending.
You will fail.

Not once. Not twice.
Over and over again.

You will eat the wrong food.
You will cancel the workout.
You will make excuses.
You will break your promises.
You will slip back into old patterns and wake up wondering if you’ve made any progress at all.

And you know what?

That is not the end.
That is the beginning.

THIS is Where Growth Begins

This is the moment that separates those who only wanted change from those who are willing to become someone new.

When you fall—and you will—life is not punishing you.

Life is testing you.
The universe is asking you:
“Are you serious?”

Every time you’re tempted to give up, that’s the test.

  • When you want to sleep in instead of rising early: That’s the test.

  • When you’re halfway through a run and want to quit: That’s the test.

  • When you catch yourself justifying a bad choice: That’s the test.

  • When you’re angry at your slow progress and want to throw it all away: That’s the test.

And in that moment, you get to answer:

Yes. I’m serious.
Yes. I’m still in.
Yes. I’m going again.

It’s Supposed to Hurt

Do you really think you’re going to rebuild decades of toxic habits, broken routines, self-sabotage, and limiting beliefs without friction?

Do you think you’re just going to walk out of misery like it’s a spa day?

No.

You will walk out bleeding, sore, exhausted, and reborn.

Because this is where life offers you a rare chance to grow—to become stronger than your old self, your old story, your old chains.

It hurts because you’re shedding skin.

Don’t You Dare Give Up

Everybody who ever changed their life hit this wall.

And everybody who made it through heard that voice in their head say,

“Maybe this isn’t worth it. Maybe you’re not built for this.”

But they kept going anyway.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You need to be relentless. And this is exactly what you are learning!

Mess up. Clean it up.
Miss a day. Get back on track.
Fall down. Stand up faster.
Make it non-negotiable that you come back stronger every single time.

It is not about failing and giving up! That’s just another excuse!

It is ALL about getting up. Over and over again. This is the REAL training!

You Decide What Happens Now

This moment—the one where everything feels hard and useless and impossible—this is the real turning point.

Not the vision board. Not the motivational podcast.
This. Right now.

This is the part where most people quit.
And you get to choose whether you’re “most people” or not.

So choose.
Decide that setbacks are part of the story you’re proud to tell one day.

And stick to it.

Now Make the Plan — Because No One Is Coming to Save You

Here’s the hard truth:

No one else can fix your life.
Not your therapist.
Not your coach.
Not your partner.
Not me.

If you want a way out of misery, you have to build it yourself.

That’s why this next step isn’t just something to read.
It’s something to do.
You must make your own plan.

Not a dream.
Not a vague intention.
A real, structured, honest plan of action.

Why You Must Create It

Because a plan you didn’t design is a plan you won’t follow.
And no one knows your situation like you do.

  • You know your bad habits.

  • You know your triggers.

  • You know your excuses.

  • You know what you’ve already tried and what you always avoid.

And only you know what “a better life” actually looks like—for you.

So this isn’t about copying someone else’s system.
It’s about taking radical responsibility for your own direction.

This is how freedom begins:

You plan your escape. One honest step at a time.

What Should the Plan Include?

You don’t need a perfect blueprint.
You need a map you’re willing to walk—starting now.

Here are the essentials your plan should include:

1. One Thing You’re Leaving Behind

What habit, behavior, or belief are you done tolerating?
What are you finished blaming?

Example:

  • “I will no longer eat processed junk after 8pm.”

  • “I will stop telling myself I’m not smart enough to get educated.”

  • “I will stop hanging out with people who drain my energy.” 

2. Three Habits You Will Build

Make them simple. Specific. Realistic.
Write them down. Commit for 30 days. No excuses.

Example:

  • “Wake up at 6:30 every morning.”

  • “Exercise for 15 minutes daily—no matter what.”

  • “Drink 2 liters of water every day.” 

3. Your Daily Anchor Routine

Choose 2–4 habits that ground you every day and remind you: I’m becoming someone new.

Example:

  • Morning: Wake, water, 10 deep breaths, stretch.

  • Midday: Walk + healthy meal.

  • Evening: Review goals, lights out at 10:30pm.

Even if the rest of your day falls apart—this part stays sacred.

4. One Physical Environment Upgrade

Your environment must change with you—or it will pull you back.

Example:

  • Declutter your bedroom.

  • Make a dedicated reading/thinking corner.

  • Throw away junk food in the house.

  • Remove social media apps from your phone. 

5. Your Emergency Protocol

This is your battle plan for bad days. You will have them.

Example:

  • “If I miss a workout, I walk for 20 minutes after dinner.”

  • “If I eat something I regret, I double down on hydration and sleep.”

  • “If I feel negative thoughts rising, I write down 3 gratitudes—immediately.”

This plan will keep you from spiraling into shame.
You fall, you recover. You fall, you recover. That’s how you win.

Start Writing. Now.

Don’t wait until Monday.
Don’t overthink it.
Don’t make it perfect.

Make it real. Make it yours.
And start today—even if it’s a baby step.

This is your blueprint out of misery.
And it only works if you use it.

Now It’s Time: Set Your External Goals

You’ve started changing your thoughts.
You’ve begun shifting your habits.
You’re standing up more than you fall.

Now comes the next move:

It’s time to aim outward.
It’s time to set real, tangible goals.

You are no longer just surviving yourself.
You’re building something.
You’re becoming someone new.
And new people don’t just wait around—they create futures.

What Do You Really Want?

Stop pretending you don’t know.
Be honest. Be specific. Be bold.
No more hiding behind vague hopes or “maybe someday.”

Ask yourself right now:

  • Do you want a new job?

  • A better economy?

  • A partner you truly connect with?

  • Do you want to relocate to a neighborhood where people are healthier, wealthier, more driven?

  • A bigger home? A cleaner home?

  • More personal power? More self-respect? More joy?

  • Do you want friends who challenge you, not comfort your mediocrity?

Write it down. All of it.

These are not “nice to haves.”
These are the next version of your life.

Give Your Goals a Realistic Timeframe

You don’t need a detailed calendar.
You don’t need to know exactly how it will happen.

But you do need to say:

  • “In 6 months, I want to be earning more.”

  • “In 1 year, I want to live in a new place.”

  • “By next summer, I want to have a social circle that inspires me.”

  • “Within 3 months, I want to be dating again.”

A goal without a time limit is a wish.
A goal with a time limit becomes a fire.

Just make sure the fire stays manageable, not overwhelming. Reasonable, not rigid.

🔹 S.M.A.R.T. Goals – An Effective Way to Set Realistic Objectives

S.M.A.R.T. is a method for formulating goals so they become concrete, realistic, and measurable. It stands for:

  • S – Specific
    → What exactly do you want to achieve? Avoid vague wording.
    Example: “I want to lose 5 kg” instead of “I want to get in better shape.”

  • M – Measurable
    → How will you measure your progress or success?
    Example: Number of kilos lost, money saved, hours exercised, etc.

  • A – Achievable (or Attractive)
    → Is the goal realistic and motivating for you?
    An overly ambitious goal can kill motivation — it should be possible, yet challenging.

  • R – Relevant
    → Is it important to you? Does it align with your values and life direction?
    Ask yourself: “Why do I want this?”

  • T – Time-bound
    → When should it be achieved by?
    A deadline gives direction and pressure to act.


🧠 Example of a SMART Goal:

“I want to save 10,000 DKK for a new computer by November 1st by setting aside 1,500 DKK each month.”

Ask Yourself: Who and What Should Surround You?

This is crucial.
Your environment is not neutral—it’s magnetic.

If you surround yourself with laziness, you become lazy.
If you surround yourself with wealth, you think wealth.
If you surround yourself with negativity, your joy evaporates.

So ask yourself:

  • Do I need new friends?

  • Do I want mentors or peers who push me to grow?

  • Do I want to spend time with people who read, move, build, and love deeply?

And most importantly:
Am I ready to walk away from the people, places, and habits that keep me small?

You’re Not Meant to Do This Alone

If you really want to accelerate your progress, you need more than goals and grit.
You need people. You need guidance. You need accountability.

Transformation is not a solo sport.
It’s a shared mission—if you want it to last.

Find Someone Who’s Ahead of You

  • A coach can help you shortcut years of mistakes.

  • A teacher can offer clarity where you have confusion.

  • A mentor can remind you that you’re not crazy for wanting more.

  • An accountability partner can challenge your excuses and celebrate your wins.

These people don’t have to be perfect.
They just have to be committed.
They just have to care about growth—yours and theirs.

Look for them in:

  • Online communities

  • Courses or workshops

  • Your current social media network

  • Support groups

  • Friends of friends

  • Local meetups or masterminds

  • Therapy or coaching platforms

Ask. Reach out. Invest. Invite someone in.

Bonus: Be That Person for Someone Else

Want to make your own path even more powerful?

Teach. Support. Lead.
Share your journey with someone who’s behind you.

When you help others rise, you rise too.
When you explain what you’re learning, you deepen your own mastery.
When you stand up for someone else, you’re also standing up for yourself.

Goal-Setting Alone Will Not Save You

Let’s be clear:

You will not achieve your goals just because you wrote them down.

A list is not enough.
A vision board is not enough.
A goal-setting app is not enough.

What moves you forward is relentless effort.
It’s showing up when it’s hard.
It’s taking uncomfortable actions.
It’s building habits that match the life you’re claiming.

You want more energy? Eat better, move more.
You want more confidence? Keep promises to yourself.
You want wealth? Get around people who make it, respect it, and grow it.
You want love? Become someone worthy of deep connection—and go where love lives.

 

The Plan Is the Compass. The Work Is the Journey.

Your plan gives you direction.
But it will never move your feet for you.

What changes your life is the grit.
The non-negotiable commitment.
The obsession with forward motion—even if it’s small, slow, clumsy, or awkward.

You’re not waiting anymore.
You’re not hoping.
You’re doing.

Start shaping your outer world the same way you began transforming your inner world:
One bold step. One clear goal. One day at a time.

Change Your Environment — Or Stay the Same

There comes a point in your transformation where your current environment becomes a cage. You’ve grown too big for it. The walls are too tight. The voices around you too small. The patterns too familiar.

If you want real change—you need to leave.

You cannot heal in the same environment that made you sick.

You can’t become wealthy living surrounded by scarcity.
You can’t become strong in a culture of laziness.
You can’t stay sober in a room full of people getting drunk on excuses.

If you want a different life, you may need to go where that life already exists.

Step 1: Relocate — In Mind or In Miles

Relocation isn’t always physical.
Sometimes, it starts mentally.
But often, the mind won’t fully shift until the body moves too.

Ask yourself:

  • Can I create a new environment where I am?

  • Or do I need to move to a new city, new neighborhood, or even a new country?

Look for signs:

  • Are the people around you stuck?

  • Is your daily landscape full of reminders of who you used to be?

  • Do you feel yourself shrinking to fit in?

Then consider:

  • Where are the people who live the life I want?

  • What would it take to move closer to that frequency?

  • Could I take a trip, a short stay, a temporary escape—to explore who I am somewhere else?

Even a different café, gym, park, or coworking space can begin the shift.

Relocation doesn’t have to be massive.
It just has to be intentional.

Step 2: Your Social Circle Is Your Mirror

Here’s a painful truth:

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

Look around:

  • Are they growing or decaying?

  • Do they take responsibility or make excuses?

  • Do they push you forward or pull you back?

If your friends only want comfort, gossip, and distraction…
Guess what your life will start to revolve around?

You cannot become someone new while staying in a crowd committed to the old you.

Make Space for New People

You don’t need to be rude or cruel.
But you need to be honest.

Some people are anchors.
Some people are prisons.
And some people, tragically, are comfort blankets with knives behind their backs.

If you want to rise:

  • You must create space in your life.

  • That means less time with people who keep you small.

  • That means saying no to energy that doesn’t match your direction.

Go Where the People You Want to Be Like Already Are

Want to be healthier?
Start hanging out with people who talk about training, eating well, and recovery like it’s normal.

Want to be wealthier?
Find meetups, seminars, online forums, clubs, gyms, or communities where money is treated as a tool—not a curse.

Want to be happy?
Find people who laugh easily. Who celebrate others. Who look forward, not backward.

You’ll know when you’re in the right room:

You’ll feel challenged. A little nervous. A little inspired.
That’s the feeling of rising.

Building a New Social Circle (Yes, As an Adult)

It’s awkward. It’s weird. It’s worth it.

Try this:

  • Join one new community, group, or event per month.

  • Introduce yourself to one new person a week.

  • Ask someone to coffee, even if it feels strange.

  • Show up more than once. People trust consistency.

  • Focus on giving value—listen, encourage, share. Don’t just “network.”

Over time, you will collect allies.
People who remind you of your potential.
People who reflect back your new identity.
People who make you feel bigger, not smaller.

Summary: Change Your World, Change Your Life

  1. Move if your current surroundings sabotage your goals.
  2. Redesign your daily geography to support your growth.
  3. Let go of people who keep you stuck—even if they love you.
  4. Find new rooms where people are already living the life you want.
  5. Build new connections slowly, intentionally, and authentically.

Your old life will try to drag you back.

But your new tribe is waiting to pull you forward. 

Structure Sets You Free: Time, Energy, and Responsibility

You can dream all you want.
You can journal, visualize, and affirm your way to the stars.
But if your days are chaotic, undisciplined, and unmeasured—
you will not change.

Discipline is not the enemy of freedom. Many regard discipline as a prison. But without discipline you will never get there.
Discipline creates freedom.
Structure protects you from your worst self.

If you don’t control your time, your old habits will.

1. Time Management: Treat Your Hours Like Gold

You get 24 hours a day. That’s it.

Everyone gets the same.
What you do with them? That’s what separates misery from momentum.

Here’s how to start managing your time like your future depends on it—because it does.

🔹 Block Your Time

Instead of vague to-do lists, use time blocks.
Structure your day into focused sessions.

Example:

  • 06:30–07:30: Morning routine (no phone)

  • 07:30–08:00: Healthy breakfast

  • 08:00–12:00: Work/deep focus tasks

  • 12:00–12:30: Lunch + short walk

  • 12:30–15:00: Learning, building, job search, or side project

  • 15:00–16:00: Admin, emails, errands

  • 16:00–17:00: Workout

  • 17:00–19:00: Dinner, downtime

  • 19:00–21:00: Reading, reflection, social time

  • 21:30: Lights out

Tailor it to your life—but give your hours a job

🔹 Protect Mornings Ruthlessly

Mornings set the tone for the entire day.
If you win the first hour, you often win the next twelve.

Start the day with intention, not reaction.
Don’t wake up and scroll.
Wake up and lead.

2. Productivity Routines: Systems Beat Willpower

Willpower is limited. Systems are repeatable.

Design routines that automate growth.

🔹 Daily 5-Minute Planner

Every morning, ask:

  1. What are the 3 most important things today?

  2. What’s one thing I will do just for me?

  3. How will I reward myself tonight for showing up?

🔹 Nightly Reset Ritual

Every night, reset for tomorrow:

  • Clean up one small space (desk, kitchen, inbox).

  • Journal or reflect on what went well and what didn’t.

  • Plan your first action for the next day.

  • Go to sleep on purpose, not by accident.

A great tomorrow begins the night before.

3. Accountability: Without It, You Will Drift

You need someone or something to keep you honest.
Change is hard. Old habits are sneaky.

Here are three powerful ways to stay accountable:

🔹 1. Find an Accountability Partner

  • Check in daily or weekly.

  • Share wins and struggles.

  • Call each other out—lovingly but firmly.

Don’t have one? Post publicly. Share goals. Let the world watch you rise.

🔹 2. Track Your Progress

Use a simple habit tracker or app (or a notebook):

  • Mark an X every day you follow through.

  • Set a streak goal (e.g., 21 days in a row).

  • Keep score. Make it visual. Make it real.

🔹 3. Review Weekly

Once a week, reflect:

  • What did I do well?

  • Where did I slack off?

  • What did I learn?

  • What’s my next step?

Even 10 minutes on Sunday can keep you from sliding back into old stories.

Make the Invisible Visible

If you’re serious about changing your life, you need to see it.

  • Write things down.

  • Build schedules that support your purpose.

  • Organize your calendar like it matters—because it does.

  • Automate decisions where possible.

  • Put post-its, reminders, and visual cues in your space.

Make your future impossible to ignore.

The path to a Better Life is not paved with wishes but with willpower, discipline, and relentless action. If you’re asking “How can I get wealthy?” or wondering “How to get out of poverty?”, know this: there are answers, but none of them work unless you do. The harsh Causes of Poverty—lack of opportunity, broken systems, trauma, fear—are real, but they are not final. Countless Poor People and People Living In Poverty have risen from the ashes of despair by refusing to let their circumstances define them.

Whether it’s through better choices, new habits, or simply deciding you’ve had enough, you can start your own PovertyWalk today. Educate yourself—because Poverty and Education are deeply connected. Get healthy—because How To Get Healthy is just as vital as building wealth. And above all, act. The road to No Poverty, to SDG1, and How To Become Rich, or even just to a life with dignity, demands your movement.

Poverty Alleviation is not just a government goal—it’s your personal mission. Don’t wait for miracles. If there is a God, know this truth: He helps those who help themselves. So don’t sit in silence. Don’t wait for someone to save you. Stand up. Get moving. Work. Learn. Fight. Grow. Change. That’s How To Get Wealthy. That’s how you Get Out Of Poverty. Nothing changes until you change. And you can—right now.

A Final Word: Step Out or Stay Stuck

This article is meant to inspire you to break free.

As human beings, our first instinct is to seek security. We cling to what we know — even if what we know is slowly killing us. That’s how we become creatures of habit. We choose routine over risk. Familiar pain over unfamiliar growth. Safety over transformation.

And so, we settle.
We repeat.
We shrink.

But life isn’t meant to be a slow, predictable decline into numbness.
It’s meant to be vivid. Expansive. Risky. Alive.

Sometimes, the only way forward is through uncertainty.
Sometimes, staying where you are is more dangerous than moving into the unknown.
Sometimes, the leap you fear is the exact step your soul is begging for.

Those who dare to challenge themselves, who choose discomfort over despair, will find something extraordinary on the other side:

💡 A new energy pulsing through your body.
💬 Conversations with people who lift you higher.
💰 Opportunities that once seemed unreachable — now suddenly within your grasp.
🧠 Clarity of purpose.
💥 Personal power.
🪞A version of yourself you always hoped existed — now staring back at you in the mirror.

The future doesn’t belong to those who stay safe. It belongs to those who step out of misery.

Choose change.
Choose truth.
Choose life.

You’ve already started.
