We trace a personal shift from chasing comparisons to building a distinct creative lane, guided by Romans 12:2 and a simple daily practice to renew the mind. A short verse fuels a bigger decision: stop conforming to the industry’s patterns and craft work that can’t be compared.

• Romans 12:2 as a compass for creative choices
• resisting comparison and trend-chasing in comedy
• designing a lane where difference is the advantage
• early audience reactions to a new format and tone
• daily writing and simple faith habits to renew focus
• testing ideas to discern what truly works
• balancing purpose, career growth, and providing for family

Please check out that Bible verse

We reflect on how Romans 8:31 reframes confidence, calling, and effort, and why repeated moments of alignment feel less like coincidence and more like direction. We talk gifts, resistance, and the daily choices that turn faith into focused action.

• church moments that feel personal and timely
• Romans 8:31 as a lens for courage
• divine support versus coincidence
• gifts as entrusted work to steward
• resistance and procrastination as subtle sabotage
• discipline, health, and habits that protect calling
• choosing wholehearted effort and follow-through
• closing reflections and a look ahead to more verses

“Check me out. Peace.”

Overcoming procrastination requires putting yourself physically where you need to perform your creative work. Steven Pressfield's book "Put Your Ass Where Your Heart Wants to Be" offers practical wisdom on defeating the resistance that keeps us from our gifts.

• Self-sabotage and distraction often prevent us from doing important creative work
• Steven Pressfield's books frame procrastination as "resistance" against our divine gifts
• Not using your gifts is essentially rejecting your purpose and dimming your light
• The first 20 minutes of creative work are often unfocused before productivity kicks in
• Fighting procrastination is a daily battle that requires consistent commitment
• Physical location matters—being in your creative space helps trigger focus
• Tracking completed tasks creates a "physical imprint" that reinforces good habits

Check out Steven Pressfield's books, especially "The War of Art" - it's beautiful, amazing, and will help you understand the deeper meaning of resistance to your creative work.

Finding balance is essential for mental health and creativity. My jiu-jitsu practice serves as that escape from overthinking, though my training schedule recently changed.

• Almost skipped a promotion ceremony believing I didn't deserve recognition
• Friend encouraged me to attend, saying others might see progress I couldn't recognize
• Coach's message validated this: "You don't see what we see"
• Received an unexpected stripe promotion
• The difference between a white belt and black belt is simply continuing to show up
• Being just 1% better every day means being 100% better in 100 days
• Connected with someone celebrating 300 days of sobriety through Instagram
• Social media can create meaningful connections with people at all levels

Keep showing up, keep being a good friend, keep working to be the best version of yourself every day.

Consistency is the foundation of success in every aspect of life. Making multiple small, correct decisions over time leads to great results – the same way that going to the gym consistently is the only path to physical improvement.

• Consistency equals results – not the other way around
• Success is not a lottery ticket but the compound effect of small, correct decisions
• The first step of failure is inconsistency
• Identify your shortcomings by tracking where you lack consistency
• Create a detailed schedule to visualize gaps and opportunities
• Balance different areas of life requiring consistency (physical, emotional, professional)
• Solutions often require adjusting schedules and priorities
• Three keys to consistency: more time, better organization, and action tracking
• Use a checklist to monitor progress and reinforce consistent behavior
• Balance is critical – you can't lean too far in any one direction

Use a checklist, make a schedule, and create more time in your day. I promise you, if you follow these steps, your life will be exponentially changed and you'll be so much more organized.

Self-care isn't just crucial for mental health but forms the foundation for all personal relationships and achievement. Prioritizing your own wellbeing first enables you to show up better for others and pursue your life mission with greater focus and effectiveness.

• Taking care of yourself first is essential before attempting to help others
• Creating quiet moments allows your mind to connect ideas without constant external noise
• Getting up earlier can provide the time needed for self-care activities
• Psychological wellness is as important as physical wellness
• Consistency in self-care practices creates compound improvement over time
• Being just 1% better every day means being 100% better in 100 days
• Showing up even when you don't feel like it is part of being on a mission

Take a moment for yourself, make time for yourself, and have a mission. I'm Benjo, check me out. Peace.

Having a mission in life is essential to finding meaning and purpose. Without goals to progress toward, we risk falling into the dangerous trap of merely maintaining, which actually means we're moving backward in life.

• Maintenance is one of the most dangerous mindsets – in relationships, skills, and personal growth, we're either improving or declining
• Important areas like comedy and jiu-jitsu provide structure for constant improvement and a framework for setting progressive goals
• Relationships require active improvement – they're either getting better or worse, never truly maintained
• Setting increasingly challenging goals keeps life meaningful, like a weightlifter who reaches 250 pounds then adds more reps or more weight
• Creating moments of true silence helps connect thoughts and gain clarity on your mission
• Growth creates a positive feedback loop – achievements inspire you and motivate others who witness your progress

Always be moving forward in everything that matters to you – your skills, your relationships, and your personal growth. If you're not actively improving, you're falling behind.

I recently discovered a game-changing approach to testing comedy material by identifying and targeting people who already share my sense of humor. This scientific method for joke development has dramatically improved my stand-up performance and writing efficiency.

• Find individuals who already have your sense of humor to test material on
• Use the scientific method for comedy: hypothesis, test, analyze, improve or discard
• My ideal audience includes police officers, military personnel, and first responders
• People with similar backgrounds often share similar humor sensibilities
• When testing jokes, you only get one true "first impression" with each person
• Multiple tests with different people help determine if a joke is trending toward success
• Target your specific audience first – anyone else who laughs is a bonus
• This approach applies to many pursuits beyond comedy

Thanks for listening to Psychological Warfare. I'm Benji Welldone, documenting my journey to become a professional stand-up comedian while overcoming mental health challenges along the way. Peace.
