The Seven-Day Audit: High-Performance Habits in Real Time

Are you ready to create a life you crave?

Let's spin that doom loop of negativity into an upward success cycle and start living lucky.

Good morning. I'm Jamma. I'm Jason.

And we are living lucky!

You are too.

Here's the meme for the day.

If someone watched you for a week, would they believe you're serious about your goals?

That's so good.

Wow!

Yeah, and I think that's one of the things that a lot of times we wonder,

are we doing the things that we need to do to get to where we want to go?

You know, that just really hit me because you have often said,

Janna, look at your life like it's a movie.

Look at your life like it's a movie.

And when I read this meme, if someone watched you for a week,

would they believe you're serious about your goals?

I don't even care what anyone else thinks.

I just pretend what would Janna think?

What would Janna think if she was watching Janna for a week?

And sometimes we need to look back and give ourselves the credit,

like say, what am I look back and say, what am I done that's getting me there?

Yes.

Because a lot of times we don't give ourselves the credit that we deserve.

Yes.

And we give ourselves a lot of grief over those times that we're resting,

those times that we're recovering, the downtime that we do need.

Oh, yeah, because there's an overcritical.

Well, we judge ourselves a little monster that lives inside me.

A lot of times because we're not at the pinnacle or we're not,

quote, unquote, there yet.

Yes.

We judge ourselves so harshly for not doing enough.

But where is there?

I mean, really, we have other podcasts where we say,

it's not there that matters.

It's the journey that matters.

Right.

So it's that there is no, there's no there there.

Right.

Which I've never ever seen that.

I hated that saying.

When, when in politics, they're like, we're there.

Yeah, they're always.

I hated that saying.

But so it's, there's a, it's the journey.

And it's saying, is, am I making the journey?

Am I doing the little important things along the path?

Yeah.

Am I having the experience?

Am I, am I, am I doing the things that matter?

And you know what?

I feel like my body tells me when I am doing the right things.

For example, when this week we're having ski camp and I'm sore

and I don't want to admit that to anyone, but I'm sore.

And when I go to bed, I am sleeping better.

Do you know what I'm saying?

It's a good, it's that second level sore.

It's like a good, it's like, oh, I need this downtime.

I need this, I need some recovery time.

So I'm sleeping better and I'm also pooping better.

I need to do that.

Oh, sorry.

Not that we want to go there.

But I, I feel like this week I've been doing the things that I need to do

to get me to where I want to go.

Yeah, you're, you're a well oiled machine right now.

Well, I don't know about that.

It's only the first, first training.

We've been well, we've had.

So this week is an immersion week.

Yes.

So we've got people come, all over from the country and from Canada,

they're from the continent, I should say, that are here and we're skiing

and we're skiing a lot.

Yeah.

We're eating healthy.

But you know, not, not too terribly much.

I mean, we've only been doing two sets a day, but in between sets,

then we watch video talking about it constantly.

So it's the mindset.

There's a lot of, it's the mechanics, it's the doing, it's the,

the nitty gritty, you know, it's all of it.

It would be a very boring movie if you were to watch it for a week,

which is what our topic is today.

If someone watched you for a week, if your movie,

if your life was a movie for one week,

would they believe you're serious about your goals?

And when you first brought this question up to me,

I actually, my first inkling was to say,

I'm about 65%, which is a D, D minus.

And again, that's the critical little monster that lives inside me.

I should name her.

Well, a lot of times we'll pick a week and we'll say,

we'll pick a week that's not great.

And we'll say, we'll say, we'll not this week and then we'll judge

all the other weeks on that.

Because I immediately went to the things that I didn't do this week.

For example, we missed Jason and I are in a wealth abundance class.

Yeah, mastermind.

And it's on Sundays and we missed this week.

Yeah, we had five people in the house and we were skiing

and we missed it because it's in the middle of the day.

I just did a podcast about how I joined the swim team

that meets at 6 a.m. in the morning.

Yeah, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

And I missed it.

I've been so sore this week that I haven't been able to go.

And we've got guests staying with us all week.

So when I asked myself the question, wow,

if I really look back at my week and my series about my goals

and my first inkling was, Jana, you got to do better.

Then I stopped and analyzed it more.

And I was like, well, you know what?

One goal that I have this year is to build better relationships.

And that's what I'm doing by having ski camp here.

Correct?

Yeah.

Also, I want to continue my journey of skiing

and we have one of the best coaches in the world here.

And he's been, we've been taking my technique apart

and maybe rebuilding it a little bit.

Yes.

And so we have to look at, okay, we've got some things

that are going over time and distance.

Yes.

And we have an opportunity for an immersion experience.

Yes.

And we have this immersion experience

where everyone has come to our house and living with us

for a specific amount of time.

Now we maximize on that.

And we might have to put everything else on pause for a moment.

So if we're looking at that and as someone,

everyone looking at that from the outside,

they're like, how do we get that experience?

They must be serious about their goals.

Yeah, because I'll tell you what, at 11.30 last night,

as we were saying goodbye to our dinner guests,

I got a notification you haven't done your duo, Lingo,

which my goal has been to learn Spanish

and I haven't missed a day since July.

And so I immediately like ran to the other room.

I was like, I got to do this for me.

Me too.

I got to do this for me before midnight

because the midnight, the day starts over.

Not going to miss that streak.

Right.

So you start looking at those little things

and I, we are doing it.

I'm proud of us.

I'm proud of us too.

I think that if we were, quote, unquote,

checking the boxes on the pathway to all the things

that we want to accomplish, we want to get done,

the people that we're becoming

and our five-year-old, who we were five, ten years ago,

would be so proud of who we are today.

They would want to be us.

Absolutely.

One hundred percent.

I also want to bring up the fact

that, isn't it odd that my first inkling

was to go to how I'm not enough?

Yeah.

I think there's a psychological aspect there

and I think a lot of people can relate to that,

whether you're a mom or whether you're trying to prove,

right?

Our first thing is, oh my gosh, I'm not doing enough.

Where am I missing the bullseye?

Yes.

And then, the more I look at it, I'm like, wow, I am doing okay.

I think the other part, the shadow side of that

is where are we seeing in our partners

or in someone else in our life of where is that person

missing the bullseye?

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Like we just naturally do that.

Is that what you're saying?

Well, I don't think we naturally do that,

but I think we can say, where are they hitting the mark?

Yeah, we need to reframe that.

I think sometimes we can look for the best, right?

Yeah, look for how is someone doing the best job

that they can in the moment?

And then, just recognize their wins for you?

Yes.

Like, I think you do a great job for me,

like helping me see my wins.

Yes.

And hopefully I do a great job for you.

Oh, you're the best at it.

Helping you, or...

In fact, you've been teaching me how to do that.

Good.

I will say, in life, I feel like maybe that was your mission.

One of your...

Well, I'm the public.

Public assignments.

Yeah, I'm the little four-year-old in the commercial that's like,

I was awesome.

You were awesome.

Almost two and two weeks ago.

We showed up.

We made it to the ball game.

And I'm the one that's...

We lost 20 to zero, but we were great.

That's not trying to pull you down.

Like, sometimes it may seem like I'm an anchor,

but I'm here to make you better.

Jason, you struck out every time.

But I was at that.

I was great.

I held the bat by the right end.

I love us.

I did too.

The more I look at our life in a week, I think we're doing...

Every time I get better.

I need to celebrate.

Celebrate you.

If you're listening to this, celebrate you.

Pretend you are watching your life in a movie and take a week's span.

And then ask yourself the serious question.

If someone else was watching this, would they think I was serious about my goals?

And even more so, as I watch this,

do I think I'm serious about my goals?

Hmm.

Thanks for joining us.

Keep living lucky.

Bye-bye.
