Every chapter of my book 'You 2.0: Build Yourself Better' has a little exercise to not only help embed the ideas in that chapter within you, but to help cultivate a sense of progress in the reader's life. Each week, until all 33 exercises are done, I will provide my own answers to those exercises so readers can have an idea of how they work.
This is from Chapter 1: Suspend Your Disbelief.
Take a bite...
Right now, grab a piece of paper and write down a description of at least five times you felt totally self-confident, those times when you just blew away all problems or objections and totally achieved what you wanted; it might be that really awesome business presentation you did, or when you asked out that cute boy/girl who said yes, or even convincing little Johnny to tidy up his bedroom! Capture the details, how you…
In the introduction to my book 'You 2.0: Build Yourself Better' I talk about the importance of Journaling. Next week we'll be starting the Take A Bite exercises from each chapter in the book, but I thought I would help get you all started with me by imploring you to get a hard bound journal.
I truly believe you’ll find journaling a fabulous tool. You can also listen to my podcast episode (episode 12) at https://www.darreninform.com/thinkworkspodcast/episode/505bfaf7/12-thinkworks-episode-12-the-art-of-journaling-and-why-it-helps ) which discusses in detail how you can use a journal to maximum effect.
Next week, I'll do the Take A Bite exercise from Chapter 1 with you.
Each chapter of my book has a 'Take A Bite' section, a small exercise to not only help anchor in the idea of that chapter but to also help you make practical progress in implementing that idea.
There are 20 main ideas and 13 Principles, so over a 33 week period we will be complete one a week, using my own life and experiences but answered as though I was reading this book for the first time.
Chapter 1: Suspend Your Belief will be done on Tuesday the 16th December, we'll see you then.
My answer:
Standing in front of 300 of Europe's biggest IT companies after my boss asked me to deliver the presentation to them (that I had written for him) at the very last moment, and nailing it to the point where the organisers asked me to act as moderator on some break out sessions. There was a moment of realisation before I started to speak (I was initially hanging on to the lectern my legs were shaking so much) that actually none of them wanted to be where I was and that I therefore had nothing to lose.
Walking on burning hot coals in my bare feet.
Breaking pieces of wood with my bare hands after 30 minutes tuition.
Every time I host my weekly rock show on Revolution Radio Online- it's the equivalent of sitting on the floor playing records with your mates.

Now over to you, feel free to put your answers on this post!
