Aadam Ali — A Day In The Life, "Focused" Comparison, & Setting Better Expectations | MTFP Ep.106

I had the extreme pleasure of having my friend Aadam on the podcast again for the third time. And just like the two previous episodes (Episode 9 & Episode 49), this one was phenomenal—maybe even the best yet? I'll let you decide, but for those who don't know, Aadam is a fitness coach and writer for his site, physiqonomics.com. He's one of the best, if not THE best fitness content creator in the game. I may be biased, but I think many others would agree. And even though he rarely does podcasts, you can tell in this episode that Aadam spends a lot of time thinking about these complex issues and distilling them in a digestible fashion. So, after you listen to this episode, make sure you check out the rest of his content for more fitness wisdom gems with a sprinkling of F-bombs. Enjoy! In this episode, we cover: -How he's been handling COVID in the UK -The effects of limited social interactions -A day in the life of Aadam -His morning routine -Reading techniques and notetaking -How we journal differently -Managing your schedule around your energy -His struggles after his famous fat loss article took off -Growing out of expectations of your past self -When perfectionism becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy -Lowering expectations to make more progress -"What would Aadam think of this?" -Unfocused vs focused comparison of others -Paying attention to what you DON'T want -3 levels of friendships -Why ignorance can be helpful -Becoming the type of person who's successful -Why achieving goals doesn't always make you happy -And much more!
