Improve Your Life Everyday Using the CANI Self-Reflection Process

Hey there! Before we dive into the CANI system, I first want to express my gratitude to you as a reader. Thank you for giving your time and attention to this piece of content, it is much appreciated! MOVING FORWARD :)


Constant and Never-Ending Improvement (CANI)

The CANI system, aka Constant and Never-ending Improvement, is a daily reflection tool to maximize your inner and outer growth. It's a journaling exercise with a massive purpose - to get better every day and become the empowered BEAST that you are!!!

CANI is based off the Japanese word "Kaizen." In Japanese language, "Kai" means change and "Zen" means good. With this system, you're guaranteed to have good change! 

How does it work?

At the end of your day, there are three things you reflect on using the CANI system:

  1. What you learned
  2. What you can improve
  3. What you enjoyed

In my experience, this reflection process is a great way to capture the many lessons and experiences that occurred in one's day. It's also a great way to consciously absorb what worked and didn't work in terms of producing your desired results.

By using the CANI system, without a doubt, each new day is an improvement upon the previous day - more efficient, more productive, more results, more satisfaction. Instead of staying stagnant, doing the same things over and over, use the CANI system to put your personal development and daily growth into HYPER DRIVE!!! 


Here's an example of one of my CANI reflections the other night

*note: CANI's can be as in depth or as basic as you'd like them to be. It is yours to own and utilize for your own purposes!*

1. Learned:

  • can put away dish rack while heating up tea
  • rhythm golf swing, like free throw
  • who I am is the resource of listening, presence, fun, playfulness, joy, and empowerment
  • that I must dedicate myself to what I put on my calendar (especially when it has to do with building your online business) they are just as non-negotiable as need to drive doordash drives to get money (MUSTS, no debates)
  • that expressing myself towards the women I am attracted to is rewarding, more rewarding than actually getting a number or getting her to like me

2. Improve:

  • allow the end of night flow to do itself, doesnt need to be mega regemented
  • all that matters is that you get all you need/promised to get done, done
  • find a way to let go of having to do every little thing perfectly
  • pick topics that readers are getting value from
  • after X pm, no longer doing actions and fulfilling on tasks, put on to do list as they come to mind

3. Enjoyed:

  • being there emotionally and in phyiscal presence for Ate jas, dad, mom, anyone really
  • making time each week to play golf with dad
  • not being too strict on myself in general
  • posting on IG as my soul desires
  • writing the blog post every morning
  • expressing to the cute girl my intentions and what I feel for her
  • drinking TEEAAA
  • getting the doordash shifts done even if I'm tired or whatever
  • being calm and easy going during doordash shift
  • priming, oh yaaaahh
