You’re leaning into discomfort (if that’s something that you are not comfortable with). Keep doing things that scare you and you will build confidence very quickly.
Keep going to the pool, next time swim.
One thing I noticed Rasmus, no one actually gives a shit what you’re doing. They’re too worried about themselves to look at you.
You only fail yourself when you don’t do the things you want to do. That knocks your confidence. I’ve been there myself.
I’ve learnt to just do what I want, because that brings me peace.
Hah, yeah, the recording is indeed a discomfort. Just like most people I think my voice is stupid when listening back, and my accent can at times leave something to be desired. I feel like I am improving though, and hopefully someday I might even think I'm doing a fine job at it.
I'm going back, and actually swimming next time. I'm going to become a decent swimmer. Let's do what we want!
I am not a good public speaker, but I’ve started recording my own videos to practice. I’m already seeing the improvements. Keep doing it, and you’ll see how much better you become.
I don’t have the confidence yet to record my articles on here, so keep up the good work mate 💪🏼
Rasmus, I absolutely loved your narration! I could really feel depth of your words and experiences.
Your recent swimming experience struck a chord. (Was it inspired by watching the Olympics, by chance?) As a terrible swimmer myself, I've felt that same sense of inadequacy. But as you wisely point out – it doesn't matter!
I can relate to so much of what you've written here. Your insights remind me that progress often follows a pattern of: Initial discomfort, Seemingly minimal progress, Habit formation, Unstoppable momentum.
It's crucial to remember that most progress is invisible and mental at first. A lot of work goes into this before we see physical results, making the start challenging but ultimately more rewarding.
Your post beautifully illustrates how, after a few sequential jumps of discomfort, we can set habits that we really want, and commit to our goals. And once we're in the flow, we become damn near unstoppable.
Thank you for your vulnerability, insights, and the kind promotion! Your words are both inspiring and relatable!
Awesome that you also recorded yourself!

Your voice is good, and you spoke well!

Thank you!
I’m not a great public speaker either. Maybe in the future.
I look forward to listening to you too.

Thank you Rohan.
Haha, the Olympics definitely had a part to play. The idea of small steps leading to habits creating big changes is the core idea I wanted to convey.
I’m glad it resonated. I’ve recently had some setbacks and am now hopefully building towards that feeling of being unstoppable again. Let’s get it!
Wishing you well as you work through those setbacks. Let's get it indeed! 🙌
