Being open about my struggles with mental health has helped me immensely. It's something I always have to think about if I don't want to lose the battle. It's helped me to think that others read my stories and maybe find comfort and/or try my own coping techniques. Things I'm currently needing to tell myself: - "This is only temporary" Making true logical statements help me stay sane. Your mind is your own worse enemy at times and you must find a way to stay grounded. Good logic is hard to refute making this coping mechanism extremely effective. - "One day at a time" Mom Burr says this to me all of the time and she's right. Thinking about 1 day is easier than thinking about 10. - "it's okay to not be okay" I have to keep reminding myself that we are all allowed to NOT BE OKAY. I promise you, you are not alone. Sometimes we're just not okay. Shit sucks, how could it get worse? (I don't recommend asking the universe that one ☠️) but give yourself permission to feel fucking awful. Just writing this all out made me feel better. Thanks for reading and being on this journey with me. We will all be okay (eventually) (maybe) ❤️
On doing hard things: Yesterday @warpc0st said to me, "you're really good at doing hard things." I had to stop and think about what that meant. I HAVE done a lot of hard things in my life. Most notably: - quit a decade long 2mg/day Xanax habit (took 1 whole year to wean off) - started lifting (started with 30lb bar, can now bench 105lbs) - playing professional and highly competitive poker (I reached the highest stakes and still play today) - regularly combat various mental health issues including intense anxiety and OCD - I once ate 65 McDonald's chicken nuggets for a bet during the pandemic 😅 It's implicit that all of these things required incredible discipline. Maybe that's my super power. I can summon unbelievable discipline when I want/need to. Ive been on this massive health journey the last 2 years. I'm down 20lbs from my highest weight and I'm the healthiest I've ever been. I'm also on day 5 no weed. I think it's probably important for me to stay this "no weed" course while I'm doing so well weight-wise. Weed leads to munchies and well.... I have a history with munchin 🤣 At one point in my life, I needed weed to quell my anxiety and stop using Xanax. It was extremely effective and I'm forever grateful that weed allowed me to quit a very harmful drug. Do hard things. It's worth it. I promise 🫡
With BETR, it was always important to me to have at least a few totally free poker tournaments for anyone. I think you need a catalyst for discovery. Twice a week, ANYONE can play 1 tournament. If you stake more, you get to play more. We've onboarded many BETR BELIEVERS with this strategy. Perhaps you have a free version that everyone plays for X amount of a prize pool. Maybe award prizes weekly. If you stake 5m you can be eligible for 2x. Stake more win more. But have a base prizepool available for anyone to play. Scoring example: - 10m $word available to win in base prizepool - anyone that scores 14 or 15 splits that prizepool THEN - 2x multiplier for base 5m holders - 5x multiplier for 50m holders (Obv numbers can be smaller)
I have always believed that project collaborations were the key to unlocking mass distribution. I tried to do this with nfts projects in 2021, but everyone was too narrow focused. Projects MUST have synergy together, though. You can't just say yes to every collaboration. You MUST curate for synergy. Both projects have to want each other succeed. You must share the same long term goals. One of my responsibilities with BETR is to find and source collaborations. If you think your project would have good synergy with BETR, reach out to me or @toadyhawk.eth 🔥
