You've been using hoodies wrong this whole time

I used to be fat.

At my peak I weighed in at 190lbs.

And I’m only 5’5.

I was obese!!!

Not really, but you get my point.

Anyway…you know what I remember the most?

I was so self conscious about it.

I hated taking off my shirt in public.

And I loathed looking at myself in the mirror.

Every time I stared at that mirror, I saw the Michelin man looking back at me.

It got so bad that I started wearing hoodies.

Like all the time.

Hoodies were my scapegoat.

They made me feel less fat, and I loved how comfortable they were.

During torrential downpours, I’d wear a hoodie.

The sun beaming down on the back of my head, I’d wear a hoodie.

Hoodies were my jam.

Fast forward to now and I still wear hoodies.

Except I don’t use hoodies to hide my physique anymore.

I use them to focus.

I do 90% of all my desk work with a hoodie on.

It blocks out any visual distractions.

And it helps me get into that “tunnel vision” mindset.

It’s what I used to make this free checklist that’s only 3 items long.

Check it out while it’s still up. Because after today, this checklist is going back into the vault.

Thanks for reading and have a blessed rest of your day.
