 Hey tribe, so I'm going to give you a heads up before I get into the subject of the video. So I will be, in respect to the challenge that I will be describing to you in a moment, I will be doing this video in one take. That's an unusual thing for me to do because on YouTube you always edit stuff, you always try to make yourself look good, but no matter what happens, I will do my utmost best to make this into a single take. Now the reason I will be doing this is because of the 24 day 2 minute rule challenge, which is a tough name to say, but maybe we'll figure out a better one, but right now we're sticking to this one. And it was inspired by a whole kind of chain of events, but let me just introduce to you what that challenge exactly is, and then I will give you a bit of a breakdown of how it happened and kind of what's the purpose behind it. So the 24 day challenge, 2 minute rule challenge, it's a commitment for 24 days to first of all every day to do something that you want to do more of to do at least 2 minutes for again every day for 24 days. Now the cool thing about it is that if you feel inspired, you can do it for more than 2 minutes, whatever that is, it can be jogging, it can be reading, it can be shooting your bow, it can be anything, learning Spanish, but so for those 24 days you do the 2 minute rule thing every day, but the thing is the kind of cool twist behind it is that you also record yourself kind of reflecting about your experience afterwards. So let's say you do 2 minute rule jogging, so you jog for per say 5 minutes because you felt inspired after those 2 minutes and then you take your phone and you record yourself, but here's the cool twist, you do it in a single take. Now the reason for it is first of all there are already some people who did it, I'm thinking about you April, and it was just so awesome to see that happening, that kind of raw authenticity and raw processing of emotions and feeling and sometimes you have updates, sometimes you have down days, but another beautiful thing behind it that inspired me greatly is that these days in our society we are so focused on presenting ourselves in the past possible way, especially on social media. We always try to look good, sound good, sound smart and always, most of the times just show the positive aspects of our lives, but that kind of creates the illusion that everyone is having a great time while reality is everyone has ups and downs, but when we keep presenting our bright side, only our smart beautiful side to everyone else, again that distorts our reality and makes each one of us feel bad because we feel like we suck and everyone else is doing great, so I need to let the cars pass because they make noise and you will not enjoy noise, so maybe I'll just fast forward the car skips. I'm also doing my social distancing practice whenever I see a person I go to the other side of the street because I'm not wearing any mask right now because it would suck for the other of this video. Anyway, let's continue. So coming back to the 24 day two minute rule challenge, it has those three or kind of you can say four aspects. So first of all, it's a commitment for yourself for 24 days to do something every day. That's a big commitment and that stupid motorcycle is coming back. I think I need to start choosing routes which have less cars if I'm going to do one taste. That's what you get for living in the city center, where finally we can continue. So first of all, it's a commitment for your own self that I think we can finally continue. So first of all, it's a commitment for your own self because if you are going to do something for 24 days in a row, that's going to strengthen your character. That will help you develop a new habit, learn something new, kind of trust more confidence in your own ability to follow through. So that's great. But also the twist behind the 24 days two minute rule challenge is that if you fail, if you skip a day, or if you have had a really hard time, you don't have to pretend everything is cool. Because since you're going to record yourself every day, every time for those after those two minute rule practices, you will have to be honest. Let's see if you skip today, that's what you're going to talk about. You will put yourself out there on the phone and not as a punishment, but as an acceptance. Because trust me, you're not going to be the only one who's going to skip that day. And you're not going to be the only one who's going to process those emotions. The whole idea behind this is to share that authenticity, to remind ourselves that we all have bad days, we all have feelings, we all have updates and to inspire each other. So this is not only for ourselves. This is also for the benefit of the greater whole. This is also for everyone else to kind of embrace our humanness, our faulty sides and our wonderful sides, because they both coexist at the same time. There's no need to pretend. The only aspect is don't film yourself naked or doing something super weird. Be weird, but don't go naked or at least don't show yourself naked. That's the only thing. But aside from that, be yourself if you should get what you're going to say, forget about it and just talk about it. If you start crying, cry. And if you are without your makeup, well, we will survive. So that's kind of the whole gig. And the very last point to mention in this video is the principles behind the two-minute rule. If you're not yet familiar with it, just quickly guide you through what that is. So the two-minute rule is the idea that it's easy to commit to. It's easy to do. You don't have to force yourself to do it because it's only two minutes. Obviously, as Kate Riggles likes to say, it's easy not to do as well. But if you think about doing something for an hour, you're probably going to think to yourself, oh, shoot, well, today I don't have the time. I don't have the energy. I'll skip it. But when you think it's just two minutes, even before bed, if you forgot about it, you can jump out of bed, do those two minutes, and then go back to bed. And if you are feeling like doing it for only two minutes, that's more than enough. That's where you stop. But if you change direction. But if you are stopping after those two minutes, that's great. And if you are, my gosh, I need to learn to do it to one day. But if you're inspired, you continue to go on. And sometimes we already have some stories in our group which you are invited to join. That's where we share the experience. It's called the Two Minute Rule Tribe, which is a search for it on Facebook, easy to find. So there we have people who, there's one person who sat down to study for two minutes and ended up studying for five hours. There is, there's some great people who did jogging and went out to do two minutes and ended up with 20 minutes. So there's, sometimes you will go much further. Sometimes you won't. And that's all fine. That's all part of the process. And again, even if you skip a day, that's part of the process too. I mean, don't do it just to do it. It's still about kind of being accountable against yourself and others. But if you skip a day, don't panic, accept it, embrace it, process it together with everyone else. So personally, I'm really inspired about this and on one level because it's a good challenge for myself too. As I mentioned, I'm a professional YouTuber. That's where I make my money. And part of the job oftentimes ends up being trying to look good, you know. And refilming yourself if you said something stupid and cutting out to the stupid parts and kind of presenting yourself as a successful person, period. But for me to do this challenge as well and to show, I do try to show both of my sides. I do try to show success and failure on YouTube. But still, there's some filtering. There's still some kind of process to take out some bits and pieces and calculations, what to say, what not to say. To do it in one takes, that's a liberating. I love that idea. That's such a great chance to kind of get to know yourself and go out of your comfort zone and accept yourself as you are and not be afraid to share it. And I know this may not be everyone's cup of tea and maybe some of you will think, oh man, this is too much. But that's the whole gig. It's about challenging yourself. It's about going out of your comfort zone, becoming greater, better, bigger. Because trust me, I am 99% sure that it will make you a better person if you do this. Not only because you will commit for 24 days and that will make you stronger. Not only because you will learn something new but also because you will inspire others. You will get to know yourself more and you will embrace yourself more as you are. And in particular, what we spoke about in the recording conversation with some of the participants of the two minute rule tribe, we also discussed the importance of timing. Because these days, it's a challenging time. And the quarantine and the lockdown and it's a challenging period for a lot of people. And to have a tribe, other people who are with you through this process, to process it together with them, to see how other people are processing it. And also to admit that it's not easy for all of us. And to know that we are not alone in our kind of dark days and I went to a place where I kind of walked further and I need to turn back. So yeah, to remind ourselves that we're all, we're all dealing with this in our own ways but we're not alone. And to also commit to process where you are still moving forward. While you don't have to. Nobody is forcing you to do this two minute rule challenge. Nobody is forcing you to work on yourself. But I think when the world is in a place where routines are chaotic and the world is chaotic, it's great to have some sense of stability, some sense of routine, commitment to still, you know, to still not slack on yourself. And I think this is a great opportunity to do this. So just to finish up, I don't want to make this video too long. It's already, you know, kind of a unique video because I'm doing this in one take. But I won't tell you the whole story of how this happened. If you're going to join the group, the tribe, you will see how it works. And also I will make a polished, dedicated video breaking down exactly how this works. I'm going to do it probably in a couple of days. So you would be able to, if you want to include your friends, you could share this. So it's going to be like, you know, one of those cool videos where it's like two minute length with nice quality audio and nice quality, you know, pictures and everything. And it's going to be like, oh, this is what it is about, like a perfect one. I'm going to make that one later. But I wanted to respect the idea behind this challenge, behind this project. And to make an authentic one, to make it in one take. And yeah, actually it's been a great experience. I enjoyed it and I hope you enjoyed listening to this ramble, purposeful, but ramble as well. So a very quick breakdown before I finish up to clarify all the main points of what the 24-day two minute rule challenge is. So you decide what you'd like to do more of. And you commit to doing that for two minutes, at least every day, for 24 days. And then you join the group, the two minute rule tribe. Oh, I'm just doing something here. Well, I'm about to finish. So you join the group and after every day, you'll see others. You'll see examples of how other people do it. And then you post every day what you did and your reflection of saying how you felt about it. And if you skipped it, how you feel about that. And if you owned it, how you feel about that. And you do it in one take without editing, without stopping. And this is going to be awesome. So I'll make a more polished video later in the future. But I appreciate you spending the time here together with me. And I hope to see you in the two minute rule tribe making the world a little bit better one step at a time. So thank you for tuning in and keep questioning. And I'll see you soon.
