How to start pushing your limits without breaking yourself or giving up
Many people start an exercise regime, or meditation regime, or have ambitions or goals, and end up burning out, giving up, or not keeping it up long term
The main reason for this is that they push their limits too hard in the beginning
What one wants to do is stay in one´s comforts-zone when beginning and gradually push harder:
- simple example: if you can only do 1 push-up a day comfortably, you push yourself and do 1 extra, so 2. Next day 3, etc. If you can only run for 10 minutes, you push a bit an do 11 minutes. The next day 12, and so on. If you feel you you are straining yourself, do not increase the amount until it feels comfy, and you do more again
- same for meditation: if you can sit comfortably for 5 minutes, push a bit and do 6 minutes. Next day 7 minutes, and so on. If it becomes really hard...do the same amount for a while before increasing
- mentally: ask the why of the why. Who is the one thinking: ¨me¨. Who is observing that me. ¨Well, some observer apparently, and who is that?¨. Etc. Keep pushing until your mind fatigues itself, and push a bit more and let it go. Go deeper like this with self-enquiry every day until there are no more questions and the mind surrenders completely
- same with chi gong or any other energy-practice. If you can really move energy for 10 minutes, push a bit more and do 11 minutes. Next day 12, etc. If you cannot push more and keep feeling energy, you reached a plateau, and stay at that plateau until you can increase it again. Step by step
- fasting: first one day do not have breakfast. Next week same day no breakfast and no lunch. Next week whole day fasting. Month after: 2 day fasting. Month after: 3 day fasting. Cut it out all carbs and sugar slowly during normal eating days. Again, step by step
- dark room retreat: start with 12 hours in the dark. 3 months later 24. 3 months later 2 days, and keep building it up
- reading: first 10 minutes every day, then 15. etc. Until you train yourself to at least read 1 hour a day
- same with learning how to trade of any other skill: slowly at first, and build it up
You get the idea, like this you have various physical, mental, energetic, spiritual, work routines, that you gradually increase in intensity every day over many years while staying the course.
Strongly in favor of pushing your limits, but i have seen too many people give up on exercise, inner work, retreats, ambitions, goals, or leave for example 10 vipassana retreats (big fan) because they could not keep up the intensity in the beginning
To give a personal example: after years of physical, mental, energetic, spiritual training. I can now comfy sit in silence for many hours a day, do a 10 day dark room retreat with no issues, can run or swim 1 hour a day with no problem, lift serious weights, and do hours of chi-gong, while the mind is empty of questioning. Reading many hours a day, answering dm´s, all automatic with zero stress. Been building this up already since my ¨breakthrough¨ in my early 20s, step by step, and can now comfortably say i am now stronger and fitter than ever before
So yes....push the limit, every day a bit, but make sure you do not break yourself
Good luck

All I can say, is man - the LIGHT leads you now.
Happy you are seeing the endless opportunities and blessings within the business of REAL ESTATE.
Moreover, NESTOVA welcomes and sees you as FAM♥️.
We are big movement. Keep it up man.
LIGHT LEADS
You are absolutely right, Bro Nestova. ❤️
No matter how long the DARKNESS has lasted — the moment LIGHT shows up, nothing remains hidden. The DARKNESS becomes beautiful once again. I never imagined that DARKNESS could be such an epitome of beauty, simply because LIGHT is present. I am deeply grateful for the gift of this experience.
Now, regarding the heart of our discussion — the ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES IN REAL ESTATE that we so often overlook out of FEAR.
We were blinded for so long by the pretty illusion of fear — our beloved DARKNESS — for countless ages past. So deeply soaked and consumed by that same DARKNESS, we lost consciousness of our own power to create. We have been on autopilot for far too long.
But right now, looking at REAL ESTATE, I see more than I ever did before. I am honouring the gift and blessing that real estate truly is. Real estate, which is Nature itself. And what can Nature not provide?
Nature — the beautiful creation, the most loving expression of God in existence. Nature — the most nurturing feminine force — Mother Earth, who represents and models ideal motherhood to all. Mother Earth, who loves, protects, cherishes, nurtures, and feeds every one of her offspring — every creation of The Creator. Mother Earth, who has built within me such unshakeable foundational confidence in a mother's love, that I could leap from a skyscraper knowing her love is non-negotiable. She is always there.
So why should I allow fear to erode my discernment? Why should I be blinded by scarcity and allow it to jeopardise my broader vision of endless opportunity?
I am now seeing countless opportunities in REAL ESTATE — more than I ever thought possible. So much so, that I could write an entire book on it and still not capture everything.
I am simply expressing sincere gratitude for this remembrance — for what I already knew, by absolute default, before time began.
Settling for less is a taboo when endless opportunity exists. Why compete in a crowded market when you can carve your own unique path — one the crowd cannot even see — and build something far greater? 💰
I am truly blessed to be involved in the business of real estate. And I am happy and proud to be part of the family @nestova_groups.
Out of sincere joy, I will continue bringing forward opportunities in real estate that most people are not yet awake enough to see.
Support the NESTOVA FAM, everyone. ❤️

@raphthelight NESTOVA grateful for you -the LIGHT made you see TRUTH yourself.
Light can't be hidden even in midst of darkness.💯
There is endless opportunity in real estate, available for everyone - no exception.
Mother Earth cares, her LOVE nurtures & feeds all her creation. LOVE LEADS♥️
This is well DETAILED MAN - more creativity activated. Love you man.
You made me realize WHO I AM AND WHO I WANT TO BECOME. This entails the foundation of how I look at things OFTEN BUT LATELY 💯
LEARNT A LOT NOW - MY EYES OPENED DEEPLY TO OTHER ASPECTS OF LIFE.
APART FROM THE CONTEXT OF REAL ESTATE :OUR CASE STUDY.
FEAR DRIVEN BY SCARCITY COMPULSIVELY IS DANGEROUS 😱
SCARCITY SCARCITY SCARCITY!!!
SCARCITY IS FALSELY CONSTRUCTED NARRATIVE THAT MAKES YOUR SIGHT BLUR - THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE.
ABUNDANCE IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH FOR OUR DEFAULT AUTHENTICITY .
THERE ARE COUNTLESS OPPORTUNITIES EVERYWHERE WITHIN REAL ESTATE AS WELL AS OTHER AREAS OF OUR LIVES
NOW, SEEING HOW FEAR BLINDED MOST OF US - MAKING US NOT SEEING OTHER OPPORTUNITIES AROUND US - NEEDS ATTENTION FOR CONSTANT REFLECTION.
SEEK AN ALTERNATE CHOICE ONWARDS IN ANYTHING RATHER THAN FEAR .
ABUNDANCE OVER FEAR OF SCARCITY ALWAYS, AND FOREVER .
FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION TOO .
FURTHERMORE, NEVER YOU FORGET YOURSELF IN THE PROCESS OF YOUR LIFE YOUR CREATION
WHY YOU THINK OR FEEL REAL ESTATE IS A SLOW MARKET — MAKING YOU CONCLUDE, DELUSIONALLY, THAT IT ISN'T FOR YOU.
As someone experienced, you cannot find truth or solutions to your problems without first knowing the root cause.
I would be insensitive — a hypocrite, even — to simply hand you my so-called TRUTH without first revealing the illusion that is blocking you from seeing or knowing that truth yourself.
Since I once wore your shoes, I know your pain, your fears, your doubts, your worries. I have experienced everything that might make your thoughts and feelings seem like truth — but they are actually illusions keeping you from the LIGHT.
HERE ARE YOUR CORE FEARS, DRESSED UP AS YOUR REASONS FOR DISMISSING REAL ESTATE 👇
People believe real estate is slow because it demands a large amount of upfront capital for purchase, construction, or development.
They also see it as slow due to its low liquidity — selling a property often takes months or even years, unlike stocks or crypto, which can be traded instantly.
Returns typically come through gradual rental income and property appreciation, unfolding over several years rather than delivering quick profits.
Finally, people compare it unfavourably to fast-money options like forex, betting, or digital assets, making traditional real estate feel overly patient and time-consuming by contrast.
Did I speak your mind correctly?
Now let me illuminate your fears — so you can see them for what they truly are.
I respect, honour, and acknowledge your fears without criticism. You are justified in thinking and feeling this way, for the reasons discussed above.
Yes — real estate is a slow market. It requires patience to achieve the results you desire. But that very slowness is precisely what makes it more financially stable, more secure, and the most realistic source of life-changing wealth.
Here is what I will not deny: real estate is not only the traditional buy-and-hold model most of us grew up knowing.
There are multiple niches and opportunities within real estate that can deliver the faster, more desirable outcomes you are looking for.
LET ME LIST SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN REAL ESTATE THAT GUARANTEE FASTER RESULTS — UNLIKE THE SLOW MARKET MODEL YOU HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN.
Have you considered the opportunity in owning a shortlet apartment?
It is still real estate — just faster. 😄
What about flipping houses?
Still real estate too.
Flipping means buying an undervalued property, renovating it, adding value, and selling it at a significantly higher price. Have you thought about that? Haven't you seen people doing it?
Then there is off-plan real estate — a passive yet highly profitable niche, with margins reaching 40 to 50%.
Some of you may be wondering what off-plan means. In this model, you purchase a property at the foundational stage with a fixed initial deposit, then spread the remaining balance across instalments over 12 to 24 months.
It is profitable for both the developer and the investor — because it buys you time, allowing you to pay for your property without feeling the crushing weight of a lump-sum payment.
And I would be more surprised if you've not heard of REITs — Real Estate Investment Trusts. This model allows you to own a fraction of real estate alongside other investors, with the ability to sell your stake whenever you choose.
It mirrors the flexibility of stocks, without abandoning real estate entirely.
Opportunities are everywhere, my friend. It all depends on how clearly you can see — from within yourself.
Real estate has abundant opportunities: niches, sub-niches, and diverse categories of investing.
Do not limit yourself. If the traditional model does not excite you, I will tell you boldly , other opportunities within real estate may be exactly yours, if only you are willing to look.
I am confident you have seen the light. And that same light will lead you forward.
Light is your TRUTH.

I will talk more on your FEAR
To be honest, you are not right, you are not wrong.
But let me ASK you a question for more self - understanding.
WHY WHY WHY, DO YOU THINK OR FEEL REAL ESTATE IS A SLOW & BORING MARKET???
I need you to be real with yourself - no sentiment or pretense.
The Prop Firm Illusion
I have grown to know and understand core TRUTH
Yes, there has been an illusion of hope sold to traders — how traders can make it easily with prop firms with little or zero capital.
Do you think prop firms were created to help you as a trader?
Have you asked yourself what prompted the invention of modern prop firms? No, right?
They saw a loophole they could profit from. It's a business for the founders.
They aren't that Good Samaritan or humanitarian thinking about how to help humanity. They know from statistics that 99% of traders lose money. That knowledge alone is the confidence behind the business model.
Quite alright, you may argue with yourself that they created prop firms for the 1% to profit. Maybe delusionally, you count yourself among that 1% in your head, or you're aspiring to be.
But the foundational statistic of 99% of traders losing isn't enough — they still need to make you a slave mentally with multiple rules, both hidden and transparent. Why? Why? Why?
Open your brain box, guy. Open your eyes and see the light. Can't you see the truth?
Many of you even treat this prop firm account as sacred, lolz. Baba na demo you dey trade, no dey whyne yourself guy. Na 2026 we dey.
Many don't know they are in a decorated cage — in mental slavery with false hope, a designed illusion.
Anyway, I don't condemn it totally, but it's bullshit. If you're going to trade prop firms, trade with awareness — knowing they designed the system for you to lose. That mindset will make you treat it like a demo to be leveraged for funding your personal account, not a sacred demo account you're pampering until it gets breached someday.
Trading is already mentally stressful with full freedom — now imagine the mental stress when that freedom is hijacked by shitty rules.
The psychology needed to trade prop firms successfully is far stronger and more balanced than most people realise, and many struggle with psychology as it is.
How can you build psychology as a newbie or struggling trader inside a prop firm that hijacks your freedom?
Some have purchased and blown several prop accounts and still believe in their head that capital is the problem.
Baba fit don blow $300–$5k cumulatively on prop firms. You can do a lot with $100 or $300 upward. You want fast money — a shortcut to escape poverty — you want to skip the process.
My advice: instead of buying prop challenges, fund that little money into your personal account.
Divide it into 5 or 10 equal parts depending on your risk appetite and your confidence in your edge. Trade and follow the process. Grow.
Then go seek capital elsewhere — or if you must trade prop, you now trade with awareness and purpose.
Don't be like the others.
