Supplementary School
In time working towards better eating is integral, but this just like exercise will take time to master. So adding supplements is a fast and efficient way to hit the ground running, and long term they can serve as a great method to stay consistent with proper daily nutrition especially when life gets busy.

Stop Blowing It
”Spinning out is part of life, don’t try to dodge every problem. Sometimes avoiding bananas makes you spin out too.

There is NO Final Destination
Focus on trying over and over again and you will find your destination.
Sometimes the best destinations are the ones you don’t expect, that’s when life is really fucking fun!
It doesn’t end until it fully ends💀

Lean In by Leaning On
When you take the opportunity to lean on others, it allows you to lean into more challenges. It’s not weak, it’s actually the only way you get stronger.
We all need support.

How to Form REAL Habits
You have to make your habit:
Constant (done weekly or daily)
Compelling (you feel not yourself when you miss it)
Consistent (eat the same way, workout and sleep the same amount of time)
Considered (if you travel, your week is crazy etc. you figure it out and plan to still make it happen)
It has to be like brushing your teeth.

Hurts Donut
Getting sick, having an unexpected injury (or reinjury/ setback), feeling drained, and hitting a wall…
It all feels like starting over.
But it’s not.

The Good Ol’ Days
“If you are between 2 actions, choose the one that is the story you'd prefer to tell for the rest of your life.”
So YOU are currently in another segment of your “good old days.” Maybe it’s your 20s, maybe it’s your 50s or even your 60s…
How do you want to tell this part of your story?

Making Mistakes
Despite what you may think, the last mistake you made was not a catastrophe.
Odds are you are creating a worse story in your head than the one perceived by others or the actual facts of the situation.

Play The EGO Song
So next time on your way to the gym turn on your EGO song and turn that…“not really feeling it” into “totally fucking believing it”
Don’t settle for anything short of incredible!

The Power of Vision
By now you have probably heard about manifestation, vision boards and other woo woo techniques for goal achievement. Well before you throw these things in with horoscopes and mercury retrograde, hear me out.

Prepare for Setbacks
Last time I hurt my back I was out of commission for weeks. It was a major SETBACK.
This time my back injury feels like a bump in the road. This time my body is stronger and I am prepared to adjust.
