best selling author, coach,consultant and speaker who's
worked in technology for overtwo decades. I'm a leader at
(00:45):

It's time for engineeringemotions and energy with me.
Justin Wenck, PhD, youtoday, I'm going to share with
you two things you absolutelymust do so that you don't waste
(01:06):
another year. So with that,welcome. Welcome to 2025. If you
are, you know, watching thisright as it's coming out. This
is the first show of the newyear. And if you're like many
people, you might have, mighthave looked back on 2024, or
whatever the previous year was,and maybe you're a little
(01:29):
disappointed, like, Oh man, Ididn't do everything that I
wanted to, or I missed somestuff, or I fell short. If
you've been watching the show,listen to the show or following
me for quite a while, you'veprobably learned a lot of the
techniques that I teach, so thatyou probably are feeling pretty
good, and you're just like, howdid I make this year even better
than the one before? So whetheryou're new or whether you've
(01:50):
been here a long time, these twothings I'm going to share with
you are going to have a hugeimpact on your upcoming year.
And so if you haven't done themalready. I'm going to say, do
these as quickly as you can.
Just like, get on it. Likeanything else that you've maybe
quote, unquote resolved to do,done a New Year's resolution for
(02:10):
if you do these two things, it'sgoing to just going to make
anything that you wanted happenquicker, faster, better. And who
doesn't want that? Don't youwant things easier, faster,
better and with more joy, moreease, more love, like I talk
about in, you know, my my bookhere, and I will, I will say
that I'm going to give youenough so that you can just do
it right here. But if you dowant a little bit more info or
(02:31):
more explanation of stuff, it'sthis is like stuff that's from a
couple of chapters in engineeredto love, going beyond success to
fulfillment. So I do hope youhad a wonderful, wonderful end
of the year with good holidaysand a good new year celebration.
I know I had, you know, reallygood quiet time where I was
(02:52):
really a lot of quietreflection, a lot of looking
back and just noticing whathappened. And so without further
ado, the two things that youmust do. So this ends up being
the best year you've ever hadis, and I'm going to suggest you
do it in this order, is one, doan inventory of all the
awesomeness from last year, andthe second thing, and I'm going
(03:15):
to tell you all about how you dothat, because you might just be
like, well, you okay, easy. Yousaid that. You know, it's not,
it's actually probablychallenging, because you're
probably really successful,because you're probably always
looking for ways to do betterand see where you fall in short.
And the second thing is going tobe, basically, you want to
resolve on how you want to feelin this upcoming year and what
you want to experience. I don'tcare what the fuck it is that
(03:37):
you want to do, whether it's youwant to lose 10 pounds, 100
pounds, you know, double yourincome, you know, get married,
honestly, comes down to it. Noneof that stuff actually matters.
What matters is how you feel asyou're doing it, when you get to
the end result. And so if youdon't know how you're going to
feel, why you want to feel, orwhy you want to experience it,
(03:58):
then think maybe that's why someof the stuff hasn't happened
yet, because you don't even knowwhat you're going to get going
to get when you're in thepursuit, or if you even get it.
So the first thing is theawesomeness of the previous
year. Imagine a young boy shereally wants to do well, why do
I mix the genders? Because itdoesn't fucking matter. It
(04:19):
really doesn't. It could, thiscould be you, this could be me,
as could be any child, anychild, they're good. They really
want to do well in this world.
So they're always, you know,wanting to, you know, do what
their their parents tells themto do. You know, wanting to, you
know, learn how to help aroundthe house and, you know, learn
and grow in school and all theseother things. Yet they're,
(04:40):
they're a child like maybethey're five to seven years old,
and so it's their first time forso many things. And so they're,
they make mistakes.
Could you imagine if no one evertold that child the things that
they did right? Would they evermove on to attempting something
new? Or would they just.
Keep going like, I guess Ifucked that up again. I got to
(05:03):
figure out how to ride thisbike. I don't think I quite got
it right. Or, I guess I'm goingto have to keep trying to figure
out this two plus two equalsfour nonsense. Because I guess,
I guess I never get it right.
You would never do that to achild. Never let them know, like
when they they did somethingsuccessfully, or something was
was great, right? Yet, how oftenare you treating yourself in
(05:24):
this very abusive way where younever give yourself credit for
all the amazing stuff thatyou've actually done,
or you don't give yourselfcredit for? You know, maybe the
exercise you did do for therelationships that ended yet
freed you up to make new ones,or maybe you had some big
(05:45):
challenges, and yeah, maybe youdidn't get to where you wanted
to be, but shit, you reallydidn't go backsliding as much as
you maybe you could have, ormaybe you have done, or maybe
you've seen other people do sogoing through your year and just
kind of having that detached,loving parent view, and you can
even like as you go through andwrite it like this person, they
(06:07):
went on a vacation and so aplace they had never gone
before, right? This is reallygood, and I find one of the
easiest ways to do this is I gothrough my calendar for the
previous year. So just start,you know, the first week of
January. And use that, use alleverything you know, in my
calendar, to jog my memory of,you know, who I met, and then
maybe who now I'm no longermeeting, what events I went to,
(06:31):
what vacations, what I did forbusiness. And just let that sort
of jog your memory, and juststart giving yourself credit,
writing down all the cool thingsyou did in business, in your
personal life, health, wise,food,
travel, vacations, or even justbooks you've read, maybe things
that you've written.
(06:52):
And also you get to giveyourself credit for doing this
exercise, right? That'ssomething awesome. So give
yourself credit for all theamazing things. I'm gonna be
surprised if you don't have anentire page of stuff again, you
want to pretend like you arejust the most loving, caring
parent. And look at what, whatthis, what this beautiful,
beautiful person did this pastyear, and you want to praise
(07:15):
them and give them credit, andthat person is you, and that
this is going to make the secondthing that you absolutely must
do, so you don't waste anotheryear so much easier, because
once you've realized all thatyou've done, all that you've
accomplished, can't you imaginehow much easier it is to build
off of that of what you want toexperience and how you want to
(07:36):
feel, and it's really importantto just simply, even if you've
already written out like, abunch of outcomes you want to
have, or a bunch of resolutionsto really just go, like, well,
what, how do you expect to feel,or how would you like to feel if
that resolution was done, like,you lose a bunch of weight,
(07:56):
like, Do you realize that if youdon't assign how, that's how
you're going to feel because ofthat, and you have unconsciously
that eating food, I feel goodnot eating food, I feel like
shit. And you don't put in that,wait, I'm going to feel so
accomplished as I change myhabits, and I'm going to feel
proud of myself. If you don'tput that in, that you are
(08:17):
fucked. You are never going toget the results that you went
for, and it's like, oh, maybeyou want to do something in
business. And you realize yoursubconscious knows there's a
there's a ton of ways to makemoney. And if you're saying,
like, I want to do something inbusiness, that subconsciously,
you've got as, oh, this is like,worse than being tortured, it's
(08:39):
going to go, well, we're notgoing to do that. We're you want
money. We're going to find otherways to get money. But if you
go, like I want to do, I want tomake money in this way because
of the impact, because of thebenefit, I know it's going to
have my world, for the growth,for the sense of accomplishment.
Do you realize that makes givesyou so much more meaning along
the way, and gives you a reasonto take the steps, and that
(09:03):
you're not just going to have towait until it's quote, unquote
done or finished. You're goingto start to get these feelings
every little teeny step youmake, and that's going to be the
fuel that gets you to makeprogress and to get to
completion on a lot of thesethings and experiences are big
as well. So not just, you know,oh, I need to stop this habit,
(09:25):
or I need to, like, make thismuch money, or I need to do, do
this or that, or whatever. But,like, maybe there's something
that, like, you want to justhave an experience, right? Like
you want to go on a trip, youwant to experience what it's
like to be near a volcano. Oryou want to experience, what's
it, what's it like to, you know,get married, right? Like, what
(09:47):
if it wasn't about, like, oh,because that's what I'm supposed
to do. It was. It really became,like, I want to have the
experience of commitment and seewhat it's like to really work
through something, right?
Right, really thinking aboutwhat it is you're trying to get
out of these, these activitiesso they're not just activities.
They're a means to havefeelings, emotions and
(10:11):
experiences. So the two thingslike these are so powerful, yet
so simple. So the first rememberis you go back through the
previous year, and I suggest youthis calendar, and you write
down how awesome you were in theprevious year. Go through all
the things that you've you'vedone, and then maybe it's like,
you go clean up some emails, or,like, you start tidying around
(10:34):
the house, whatever startstriggering these memories.
Create a list and write it downand just add to it, of like, Oh
my gosh. Like, I wrote a book.
Or, that's one of the thingsthat I've done. All right, I had
that I did a revision with aneditor, one of the true things,
or, like, Oh my gosh. Like, Icompletely changed the way that
I eat. I now no longer havedairy again, something that I
(10:55):
did that's really fuckingawesome, and it's really changed
my life. There's probably somany things that you forgot,
that you've done,and yes, there are going to be
some things you didn't do yet.
When you look at it through thislens, it's like, oh my gosh, I
got so much more. I'm sograteful that I didn't get the
things that I wanted, because Igot even more.
(11:16):
That's how I usually end up,because I always do write down,
like, here's how what I wouldlike to happen in the next year.
And when I it's kind of fun tocompare what happened with what
I intended the year later, andkind of see like, oh, actually,
I really got even more. If I'dgotten it the way I thought I
would have, that kind of wouldnot have been as full of an
(11:38):
experience. Yeah, when I lookat, you know, the emotions, the
feelings, the experiences, Ialways end up getting that or
more, and I want you to get whatyou want or more. And so with
these two tools, it'sgoing to make this the best year
you've ever experienced. And soif you have any questions about
it, like, send me a note again.
(12:01):
The book engineer to love, goingbeyond success to fulfillment,
kind of has a couple chaptersthat are very similar to this.
If you want to work one on one,reach out to me through the
email and through the socialmedias that are coming up once I
end the show and are, you know,part of the show notes and
whatnot. So looking forward toanother phenomenal year. If
(12:22):
you're watching this on YouTube,you get to see my sparkle, shiny
celebratory coat. If you'relistening, you can't see that,
but you can see it in yourmind's eye, and then maybe check
it out later and let me know,like, did it match? But yeah, I
think this is gonna be aincredible year.
Will it be easy? Maybe not. Canit be more easeful? Absolutely.
(12:45):
And with these two techniques,you're gonna really enjoy it. So
with that, thank you so much andgood day. Thanks for tuning in

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
