Walk and Talk #10: Do the Inventory - The Chris Cuomo Project

In a candid and honest Walk and Talk on a cold, rainy day, Chris Cuomo explores the need to take stock of things in your life that you want to do more of and less of, and why it’s important to lean into discomfort.

[@PatriceMarieDobson]

Chris, hi from Texas. You are an inspiration. Because of you, I will try to get in my bicycle today. Keep doing a great job and an inspiration to many. Thank you 😊👍🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🫶🏻🏃🚶🏃🚶🏃🚶🏃🚶😊

[@avivavogelgabriel5482]

Don’t “try.” Just “do.”😅

[@paulstope762]

Listened to you on my walk. So,I walked WITH you. .. kinda.. later…in the afternoon. Sometimes, we have the same subject on our minds. Family, ailments, and so I went out and did what I didn’t want to do. Thanks for walking with me.

[@TheSavvyShopaholic]

I came across your walk & talk… you spoke straight through to my heart. It is so easy to avoid the discomfort! I haven’t done a personal life balance sheet for sometime .. I need to give some focus to my action plan and change thx

[@BlueBamboo62]

Thank you for sharing. Lots of good insight to take in and digest. Very motivating!

[@margalo399]

This was so what I needed to hear-your honesty and commitment inspire me every day. Thank you.

[@vivianrivers467]

Cinnamon rolls...😊 Love it!!! Thank you for sharing!!!🌟

Education, wisdom and over a decade of pain has turned me into one mean ass Troll. I will "do what is hard" by trying to be nice today 🌻🌷🌹🌸 Thanks Chris--Have a great day🌻

[@mp2274]

Thanks for this, Chris. A lot of us are meeting you where you are. That part about the job thing being easiest was so on point. Know that so many of us are resonating with you.

[@geocosmicvalentine]

I bought one of David Goggins’ books and didn’t listen to it yet. This is reminding me to listen to it. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your healing process in order to motivate others. You’re REALLY helping others! 😃👍🏽🙏🏽

[@donnac5857]

"Life is too short to wait." 😊 Another good walk & talk. Many blessings with sincere appreciation & love. Keep on keeping on! 👍

[@celialum9863]

Thank for another great walk and talk. Great advise ! Did you eat a cinnamon roll?

[@erosmanxxx]

Love ya, Chris! I also love the entire Cuomo family. Keep doing the hard work...the rewards are truly worth it in the end. I don't have a brother but I wish you were mine. Take care, my friend.

[@drewmcdonald1077]

[@minniemaklingham4255]

Good morning Chris ☕️ Happy Sunday. Absolutely everyone have things going on in their life no one is perfect ! Love these walk and Talk, stay warm and god bless you always CC

[@rebekahlow5957]

I always enjoy your “Walk and Talks”. I took my first spring walk today. My goal is to do it every day. It does help to clear the head. It helps. I’m working things out. I always enjoy your topics very much. Great food for thought! Hello, from Vermont

[@b4ned]

BTW, I am an expat living in South America. You might be interested to hear how many of us view the U.S. circus from down here.

[@bugsincyberspace]

You're here for us and we're here for you.

[@catherinesalacuse3284]

This might be yesterday Saturday…? I agree ….nesting at home feels better….congratulations for your willpower…. To get out & walk….soon it will become a need…an addiction…your mind & body will speak to you…. let’s listen to what you have to say…. a tout de suite…👍🇫🇷🇺🇸

[@sandrawells7691]

Where did the time go? Love the walk n talk it's inspiring Leave the glioves by the door/ in your pocket. From this old ass. Because you put yourself out there Today I'll walk cuz my surgery is Tues. Love the time with you.

[@Loveschihuahua12]

I just love your walk and talk series. ❤ They are so relatable and have truly open my mind abouts the situations regarding myself. Doing personal inventory is definitely not easy. You try and fail and you try again. We must keep going. I am trying to get to a certain point in my life. Being retired, trying to achieve new friends, exercising (healthy eating). Thank you, Chris. Please keep these walks and talks going.❤❤👏👏

[@mmpmazerolle]

Love the Walk and Talk episodes. You always give me so much to think about. Thanks!

[@jimmyboyzable]

I can listen to Chris talk all day, he keeps it real and his voice is so soothing and relaxing (he should consider doing ASMR videos). I especially love his walk & talk videos, I find them inspiring and uplifting

[@mimiv1347]

Thank you Chris for taking us along on your walks. Have a blessed week! ❤️🙏

[@kojakkojak1984]

Great view point ALWAYS. Thank you for posting.

[@mTaR36S]

Thankyou Chris ! Your willingness to share your vulnerability is such a good example for all of us. I wish for you that you take care of yourself !

[@glennkennedy441]

We need you back on Prime Time !

[@debrabelaska3175]

Good morning ☕️ ☕️ Chris looking forward to hearing and seeing 👀 your 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ and Talk a little later today . I will share this to all my platforms and get the word out

[@ruthdaley2458]

Always love the walk and talk. Thank you for giving me hope and tools for bettering my life!💛💙

[@tomscerbo1588]

Your Dad was great man! Much respect to my Italian brothers from NYC!👆👌🇺🇲🇮🇹

[@joanndrier9913]

Thank you for sharing Chris. You are great. You make so much sense. Inventory of self is so important. Caring about your family, God and self are very important to survival in our lives. I loved your sermon on Friday night. You spoke for many of us. Have a wonderful Sunday.

[@skydreams5207]

you are such a good man..thank you for your encouragement to all of us to carry on and not feel so alone🌟💫

[@catherinesalacuse3284]

Have you ever been reading The Principles from Ray Dalio? I (audio) read it as soon as the book came out…this book is the how to, not only for a Company, but for anything where management is needed even in personal life. Those advices made it for me …until Covid overlapped & some daily briefings that we all know, pursued to keep my head out of the water ( metaphor..) You are saving yourself by doing all what you are doing, any outside support are fabulous & helpful, but what helps us the most in life is when we are personally active participants. And this is when we climb up the steps concretely. I love that you share all your efforts & fights. You are helping many by showing that you are doing it the hard way, which is the right way…my opinion…I have a longer life experience that you….and it always worked…. Do this walk & talk more often….once a week would be good. You time outside walking & breathing hard is just as powerful as your indoor workout… Merci & a bientôt 👍🇫🇷🇺🇸

[@alisonpatriciarose]

Numero dieci!🎉Thank you for sharing and taking us on these walks. Love listening to you talk. Don’t miss the northeast weather! I keep my life simple. Both parents are gone and no children. Not necessarily by choice, just the way my life has traversed. Of course I want someone special, but until that happens “it is what it is.” Have my work, my routine and my faith so for now me and the pooch are enjoying the sunny south. Warmer days ahead Chris!☀️

[@lisar7300]

Enjoy this so much keeps me motivated! I keep missing your interviews but I think you do a great job with anything you do!

[@optistudent1]

By not making a choice, you are making a choice. I’m proud of how you are tackling this. We’re all tackling this, too. Thanks for the pep talk. Cynthia from Cape Coral, Florida 😎🌎🌟🤩😘

[@lakennedycuomo446]

You have my favorite hat on today. I love the color. You are not fat, Cuono. Who told you that? You are awesome. Thanks for letting us into the recesses of your beautiful mind.-💖Lar

[@teresascafasci7027]

I love listening to your walk and talks! I've learned alot from there and related alot to some! So happy your back on tv! Love your show on News Nation!😊

[@denisediana7]

Enjoyed it and I thank you for your insight. Never give up you are helping us grow as well.

[@cjcoonfield]

Excellent. Thanks for taking us along.

[@starsmoon9444]

Goodmorning 🌞you should do a meet walk and talk form a group that would be awesome!

[@GotoHere]

First Fredo would have to give them all the questions in advance. And only allow far alt left wingers in his walk. The same way he did it at fake news CNN.

[@paulstope762]

We should only listen to him during walks. Good thought.

[@CarolDesart]

My first walk and talk with you, I can relate with you, God Bless your journey that we are all on.

[@Luv2knit100]

Thanks Chris I’m 71 and have to give myself an inventory ❤

[@tonyclune4106]

Walking & Talking,sticking and moving. Be good my brother.

[@begabrielanunez7326]

Every time I don’t or it’s hard for whatever reason to do something, since you’ve started the walks and couch time - YOUR VOICE comes to my mind. And I do it. I move on. Next - I enjoy listening to you. But it’s because I see myself in what happens to you. Or the message you want to give. Cover your neck if it’s that cold. And thank you! --:🍀)

[@nicolestrunk795]

Never surrender, find the meaning. 🙂 Much respect keeping it real.

[@stevewill6330]

Great insight and thought provoke.. I'm taking my personal inventory and trying to get into the doing the difficult..Thank you

[@karengailpetty7159]

Chris, you give so much of yourself. You make my world a better place. You have beautiful language and use it so effectively. Only one suggestion from me. Drop the cussing. Im an older lady and i can deal with it, but I think it might distract some people who would benefit from your help. If you need it, do it. If you don't, drop it. I feel true love for you. Thank you for caring so much and for speaking your truth. You're a beautiful human

[@twononcriticsandacat]

It’s definitely helpful. Somehow I always find something useful and applicable to my life in what you say in this walk and talks. Like this week, I changed office so my commute changed and I commute by bike now double the distance than I did before so I am doing discomfort training. I was frustrated by getting drenched when it rains so with my husband we actually did an inventory as you called it of things I dislike about my commute trying to control what I can control buying waterproof gear to avoid getting drenched when it suddenly rains. It’s a simple thing but it shows how most of times process is the same for many people.

[@mjuvinall]

Thankful so much for your insight. Sometimes I will get bored with the guest on the podcast. These videos and couch talk I hang on EVERY word.

[@MrSean03839]

Appreciate your work over the years Chris. Try not to worry or overthink stuff too much. Do the things you enjoy, have a beer with friends, chase the wife around the house. ;)

[@josephbrown7142]

Chris keep griding, keep building my brother. U will get there again. On the right side.

[@poisonivy227]

Thanks, Chris, your walk and talks work. You get me. Thank you.

[@shirleynichols2917]

Good morning Chris. Today om in the gum listening to you buddy. I can wait to get outside. The sun is shinning and the weather is tolerable.

[@marlenesoifer8786]

I DON'T LIKE NOT BEING IN THE GYM FOR 23 YEARS. SO LOOKING AT YOU DOING GYM MAKES ME HAPPIER

[@juderodriguez62]

Thanks my brother for these conversations; somehow I feel less lonely listening to your words.

[@wildog348]

Good Stuff! Thank You Chris! 👍

[@shaqisala3800]

Thank you brother..

[@jodymooney255]

Thanks Chris, I needed to hear this and thank you!

[@avivavogelgabriel5482]

Yes! Please! Do these for 45-50 minutes! I find these shorter versions kind of “unripened” and a bit of a letdown as they reach their final minutes…cuz I need a little more! They end just as my renewed motivation or inspiration or restoration or resolve or “lust for learning,” or identification with your issues (which are mine as well in many respects), or energized solace after hearing I’m not alone in these things, or knowing that you and I can persist with renewed (daily) discipline to continue our “discomfort training” for the sake of living in integrity and courage, are rising, about to peak, to persist…. Gracias!

[@aja_1977]

How do you fight the fear that focusing on yourself and your relationships will cause your work to suffer. Work is the only think I’m pretty good at. So I work 10-11 hours, then I’m too tired for anything else (excuses because it’s hard) When I was young I did it all, Marine Corps, school, fitness, relationships. Now I’ve become more reclusive, because I’m weary of shitty people, I work, and I avoid working out because I’m fat and broken. I guess now I’m just venting. I probably need a therapist too, but I don’t want to. Sigh, this clearly resonates Chris. Thanks for the talk. 😢😅

[@joshcmp952]

Good morning Chris. I just want to say that there are very little people on tv that challenge people in power the way you do on things that matter most to everyone from all sides. You show a high level of toughness backed up with a very educated mindset, that sometimes leaves some of your guests without any real substance to say when they try to hide what we can all see. And I can see why you're the person that you are. You follow a stoic way of life. Toughness is so embedded in you. But with your walk and talks. I see Chris vs Chris. Two people with the same mindset, and same level of toughness cancelling each other out. Einstein once said that "no problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." You gotta let go and find a different approach to what constantly torments you.

[@meenabootle6777]

Wise words as ever Chris,keep on walking and talking and be strong😊

[@rosannajacksonwright927]

Thank you

[@AljIsHere128]

Not bad walk and talk in this late July heat. A chatty Chris is a good ear candy for me. Of the messages and wisdom addressed.

[@carolynhamilton3316]

You are wonderful. So honest. Love what you say. So true. It's me with donuts. Ha ha. I will take a half. Later I will eat the other half. I will do 30 min on treadmill. I do 10. I need to not bring up subjects with my grown kids. I do it anyway. Etc.... love your walks. They are so good for those of us who watch. They have to be so good for you.

[@drewmcdonald1077]

Chris Cuomo I like this part of u and seems u more honest with us with your feelings and etc ever since u left CNN

[@MI-007]

Always learning from you, thank you for sharing your life experiences

[@vettevegas8549]

David Goggins doesn't play the victim, or cry that everyone owes him because of his skin color. I'm proud of you today Chris. I just got back from my own walk in the cold. Embrace the suck, my brother!

[@DivaGeneva]

There are many African Americans who don’t do that. And who understand that every race has had their own struggle in history. We are all in the soup!

[@Daily_Survivor]

I miss you in cnn. So happy that you are doing your own thing. Most people are tired of the left and right crap. We want reasonable.

[@catherinesalacuse3284]

I like to listen to you knowing how much good you are doing to yourself & one day soon you are going to look at yourself & proud to have taken yourself out of the troubles you work on. We all make mistakes in life. We are humans. You are going on the right direction …. Now for Lady Matilda, I do not take any excuses from you. You have to be harder on you on that subject. You owe her, you are here because of her & one day I would not even listen to you if you said … « I miss my Mum… »…. You boys/men are so often the mummies’s boy…favorites…So give her time & offer her your patience….. I am not over…🥰….. and you make me laugh while you keep speaking & me writing….😘🇫🇷🇺🇸

[@cindyferguson8855]

Greetings Chris.....from the Western North Carolina Mountains ! Thanks.....for being real with us. Now, first thing you need to do....get out of "News Nation"....you don't belong there. Second, getting out of our "comfort zone" is all and good.....but when you REALLY hate something....you don't belong there either. Grateful to you....for being you....and for sharing. Sincerely, Cindy

[@Stormbrise]

I am always happy to hear your walk and talks, and how you have introduced me new ideas and what to consider and think over. I look more forward to these segments then the interviews. It is not that I do not want to listen to the interviews, it is because I have to focus on my finishing my Masters Thesis to get my degree so I can get back to the States for the last years of my life. Also Chris, remember you do not need an know what someone else is thinking of you as they drive by. If I see someone walking or running for exercise, if I think about it at all while driving by, is that they are winning. They are winning the war for better health against the sofa. So not all of it is negative. I have been around a program about taking the 4th through 8th steps is the most difficult step since I was child, actually 6 months of age. I started the youth programs in this at 8 years of age, graduated to the teen program at 12. Then at 18, I tried to make the leap to the adult program and felt out of place with the spouses. So, later in life I tried other programs, however the not taking personal responsibility for ones actions always chases me out. If you are an adult, your parents are not forcing you do what you do today. Luckily I do not have the addictions of my family due to perhaps my neurodiversity and biology at the cellular level not to have receptors to become addicted. Anyway, I have yet to write down a personal inventory. Like everyone else, I fear the 4th step. So, now I have turned more to philosophy and stoicism. However, I am finding that the program I grew up around is more than likely based on stoic philosophy. I wonder if Bill W or Dr. Bob read philosophy.

[@Savannah-1968]

Love the walk and talks ❤

[@b4ned]

Hi Chris. I think you are a very decent guy. What is all this stuff about how hard it is, and self inventory, questioning your motivations, etc.....epecially at this stage of your life. I say its a fools errand...the real work is to accept yourself, love yourself, give that same love you've tapped in to to others .......really, there is no other work. I am happy to discuss this with you as I do not make this assertion without having taken the low road, without having learned my lessons through years of gaining self awareness. Ask yourself repeatedly, What is this self effacing all about...look at the comments below, and you get a cue. With respect, Edward

[@ctcamara]

I like these videos! Keep it up. 😊

[@chad-te9oj]

Hi Chris. Thank You for bringing me along on Your walk. I walk too however mostly for other reasons than exclusively to get in shape/loose weight. I sense in You a mental place where I used to be too. You are a "mind" guy. And I am a mind girl (My name is Diana btw - hi). Your strategic mind at this point in Your life seem exhausting. I love Goggins and I have done my inventory as well. Still, just a tip from me, You seem stressed asf. (Sorry for the foul language). I used to look outside myself to try to balance people and situations in order to try to hold "my life" together. Still, it actually took a hotdog salesman to guide me into the inner peace I live in now. Just by the scentence -"how good of a mom can You be to Your kids, if You don't heal Yourself first?" We live our lives to be there for those that matters to us. That is a given considering we have a "pack" mentality. However, what is most commonly missed is that it is a double edged sword. No one can live our lives for us, nor can we live someone else's life for them. We need to start with us. The stronger we are, the more we can be of aid to others. No one will stress themselves down to please us. And that is true self perseverance. It's not arrogant nor selfish. It is an action of self love. Arrogance or selfishness is only measured AFTER we've healed ourselves first. If we allow ourselves time to heal ourselves first then, for instance, we will lose weight faster. How? Anxiety and stress triggers cortisol production. One may be like a skinny shrimp- however the belly will look as if we have an internal keg on the inside of our abdomen. No crunches or 24/7 diets will loose it. Because (as You know) hormones always win. I wish I could send You a bottle of my inner serenity. I've got leukemia, 2 autoimmune diseases and by Friday at the latest I expect my upcoming biopsies to show that I have a nasty skin cancer to boot. Life is simple and uncomplicated today too😂. I'm 55, single parent w 4 kids whom will be homeless if I croak (they are 26, 25 25 and 24). Even though ppl have critiqued me over having them studying from home, it is not easy to cut the studies to get a full time job on top of getting approved of rental contracts that is set to a minimum annual income of 15 000+. I am experiencing bouts of stress (now especially) however, like You said training or research is what defuse my anxiety. Life tends to be royally sucky, however, this moment, just now, I feel good. I can not control much of what stressors in my life (ppl and situations) will try to stress me out with. All I can control is, as You said, if I choose to react to it. Is it vital to my life? Does this situation they try to push on me reside within my moral obligation, my legal obligation or out of guilt/shame? Can I get it done permanently or can I change/referring it onto someone else that may aid in a way that I feel I can't manage right now? The only ones I refuse to let down is my children, my alzheimer stricken mother and myself. My siblings get annoyed that I won't always be a social butterfly on what ever stuff they are into. I have an obligation to me to live longer and be as healthy as I can, so I can be here for my kids and mom. I'll do power's of attorneys to my siblings so we divide more.s care. I have been alone in moms all dealings over the past 6 yrs. And now I've divided it into my sis manage living placements, my brother her monthly finances and me moms medicinal and treatment. So, if life gets too intense, my "personal Goggins" advice would be to ask Yourself -"am I my own best friend?" And -"if my best friend where in that situation what would I advice them to do?". You need to remember You don't have to be everyone's hero when You can't manage to be Your own, first. Guide them, set them up with outside sources, just to give Yourself time to heal. The better (not sooner) You heal, the stronger You will be in the upcoming future. Hugs and stay safe. I hope this reply hasn't offended You. I just wanted to say - I can relate. Only You can be held accountable for Your feelings as well as others for theirs

[@mariagonzalezpicans4991]

I find the Walk and Talks very insightful and helpful. I always watch them. Also, 237lbs. Big is beautiful. I've never liked scrawny. When, I met you in the mid-ninties you were lanky. As men mature, they become broader and improve. You look very strong and manly nowadays.

[@deep.thought.solution888]

🔥🌞🔥 Here comes the sun 🌞 ❤

[@beverlyk549]

Being hurt by hateful comments doesn't mean you're weak. It means you care. Much of what you said about reacting to events is in the book I've just read: Everything is Fucked. If you haven't read it, highly recommend. And thanks for reminding me to do my free weights...

[@quantumleap1560]

I think I’m gonna go out for a walk. Thanks for the nudge, Chris.

[@marlenesoifer8786]

thankyou for contact

[@marlenesoifer8786]

THANKYOU

[@ibuydigital1574]

I resonate with you Chris.

[@barbd.1628]

Another great talk. But I don't know where you get the idea that you're overweight! Get THAT negative thought out of your head. You're in fantastic shape, Chris -- we should all look so good! And we love a man with a little flesh on him (and IN him). Besides, what's life without a few cinnamon buns once in a while... and some pasta, of course!

[@bwata_takies1064]

Okay, go home, stop torturing yourself and eat one cinnamon bun. This guy doesn’t stop beating himself up.

[@jacobbradsher8246]

These are really helpful to me. I like how you don't shy away from your ups and downs, how you handle adversity and your thoughts. Keep up the great work! I hope you have great success and this helps build you into the person you were meant to be.

[@hamidz3113]

Chris at his best “ They are three givens in life Everything changes Life sucks and it’s not about you.

[@brianbowers809]

Thank you very much. Can you let us know how it works out with you cutting your weight. While keeping your muscle. With the doctor you were talking about.

[@susanmiller2414]

Allow a little inconsistency into life in order to make room for forgiveness; to quiet your spirit when a revelation presents itself. Be quiet, and give yourself space to grow, to become more aware. You have a very busy mind, but some busyness seems to be habitual negativity. Life opens in the light.

[@JenniferSmilesNow]

I like walk and talks 😃

[@maryepperson2275]

Life is short, enjoy the freshly baked cinnamon rolls

[@lisa2sears422]

I just want to give you a hug

[@hannahtelluselle]

Would it be possible to start up an old guys- ball team and have some fun again, instead of doing things you loathe? While acknowledging what you want to change is really good, a personal inventory to me is rather a positive discovery of what you have: Your resources, both physically, but most of all your competencies mentally is awesome to list, so please do that! Btw, I've gained 20 kg (40 lbs?) and have never in my life had any overweight, it's going to be an interesting journey for me to lose it, and thus becoming better to relate to others who do. There is always a gift in everything!

[@hannahtelluselle]

And if you believe that life is always going to be hard, that's how you will feel, by recognizing and confirming that belief. Try the opposite. Then what?
