Mike Needs a Plan

I lost 110 pounds, but I'm most proud of keeping it off. Together, we're going to do the same thing. How do we do the same thing? By not doing the same things we've been doing. That means we'll need a plan -- yes, including me. I don't know everything, and if you're living this life right, you shouldn't, either. It's not about diets, it's not about exercise, it's about healing the mind. Build your plan with me, Mike Pridgen! Be kind to yourself!

    Good luck, everyone

    I wrote and recorded this comedy piece, titled "We Love The Year 2000!" for a sketch comedy album I was working on in 2020. It's from the perspective of a dreamer in the far-gone past making hopeful -- and ultimately ill-fated -- predictions about our future. Every day, I hope it stops being satire. Good luck, everyone.

    You Can't Get The Time Back

    Throughout my life, I didn't do enough for myself. Any time I faced resistance in pursuit of self care or wish fulfillment, I'd take it as a sign that the thing I wanted wasn't meant for me. "No hopes", I'd repeat to myself, reasoning that it was better to not have hopes at all than to have them and see them crushed. This past weekend, I pushed past it all to do something good for myself. To prove to myself I'm not destined to press my nose against the glass of life forever. I want you to do the same. ------------------------------------------------- Tom Wilson's "King Yep" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJttqfsl4sQ Have a question or comment you want me to discuss on the show?

    How to make a calorie deficit easier (and the secret reasons why it's so hard)

    I'm in a measured calorie deficit for the first time in a while. IT'S HARD. But I'm not hungry all the time. In fact, I hardly ever am, and I'm losing weight. Today I'll talk about how, and also talk about why it's still difficult anyway. This is how you can get past all the same obstacles to get the same results. --------- Have a question or comment you want me to discuss on the show?

    The effects of overthinking, and how to overcome it

    I overthought the intro of my own show, and it sent me into a self doubt spiral. A show I do every week! I should know how to start it. But I thought about it too much, and psyched myself out. I literally convinced myself I couldn't intro my own show. --------- Have a question or comment you want me to discuss on the show?

    How to Logic Your Way Out Of Self Hatred

    Can you name ONE person that truly deserves the kind of self hatred that you impose upon yourself? In this episode, we discuss how to work through self hatred by proving -- with indisputable logic -- that it doesn't actually make any sense at all. Today's questions: -Can I name one person who deserves to feel the way I do about myself? -What is truly similar between me and that person? -What is different between us? -Why do I still feel compassion for that person anyway? -How can I feel compassion for me? -Who is this self hatred truly serving? --------- Have a question or comment you want me to discuss on the show?

    Are You Holding Yourself to These Standards?

    I'm about to starve my cat. The vet said she's too fat, so we have to put her on a special diet and bring her out to exercise and whatnot. But that sounds complicated and expensive so I think I'm just going to stop feeding her. If you're a normal person, that paragraph upset you. And yet, you've looked in the mirror and said the same thing to yourself. Why wouldn't you starve a cat, but you'd starve yourself? This week, I talk about standards you're holding yourself to that you're not holding anyone else to, and why it's slowing down your progress. ------------------------------------------------------ Have a question or comment you want me to discuss on the show?
