My Current Coffee Routine

Four Sigmatic + 1 packet of LMNT + splash of heavy cream.

I felt, accepted and processed intense cravings this morning for a nitro cold brew.

It’s interesting that these cravings appeared after my longest night sleep since beginning MeRT therapy.

I know that level of caffeine creates unwanted side effects.

A nitro is roughly 300mg caffeine, the four sigamtic is only 50mg.

These cravings last about 45:00 as I got my sons to school.

I shifted my focus to what I can do for my future stronger more successful-self that I’m building.

I listened to more chase Hughes trainings, and made this coffee as soon as I got home.

I was successful this am because I knew PRECISE targets to shift out of the state I was in.

connect with me when a part of you has a desire to be given precise steps for personalized motivation, workouts, lifestyle and nutrition.

Should fitness and health influencers be required to blood test regularly and disclose what substances they are using?🤔

My Answer: F**K YES!

“Listen to Your Body” is true, yet only half the solution.

When you spend years or decades living unnaturally you need an interpreter to translate what it’s telling you.

If you’re not asleep by 10p you are creating hormone imbalances.

For most this is the #1 “hardest” thing you can do.

Why is it that people want the most income possible, the nicest house, clothes, vacations and car possible…
Yet when it comes to their body it’s “good enough” to not be as strong & healthy as possible..? 🤔

“Everyone has different goals - some don’t want more strength.”

“People Don’t Have Ideas, Ideas Have People.”

If you were given a job that you were told paid $100K would you insist on only being paid $70K, or even less?

If a financial advisor told you how to retire saving $1 Million would you reject it and and tell them you only were interested in saving $700,000?

My passion and mission is discovering how great I can be and teaching what I discover to others.

Not only in terms of physical strength, but as a husband, a father, and a man who becomes the best version of myself.

Most people, sadly, will not come close to their potential.

Yes, for many their opportunities will be decided by when and where they are born in the world.

For every human though the #1 factor is their beliefs.

When I read people write that not everyone wants to be stronger my response is….., HUH?

Dont get me wrong, I am not judging here, in fact I have had this reaction many times recently from others whom I respect tremendously and feel nothing but friendship towards.

If this was true, that most are content not pursuing their best self, that there was not a deep yearning in us to be as strong as we can be…. this world would look unrecognizable.

There would be no superheroes.

Nor any form of entertainment showcasing elite physicality.

There would be no professional sports (that truthfully far too many males are addicted to to live through other men vicariously while ignoring their own health and potential).

I can’t think of a culture that doesn’t hold strength as a virtue.

So in reality all thoughts akin to;

“I am not an athlete, I don’t need to have my strongest body” are a virus (unhelpful idea) that is caught during the course of one’s life.

I think it is usually in one’s youth when they are emotionally and mentally hurt in some way by not being told they are a great athlete.

Or it happens when there is a traumatic event that seriously harms the body.

So when some well intended jackass like myself starts talking about building strength few possess it collides with this unhelpful and harmful idea that we should settle for a mediocre physical experience throughout our lifetime.

Attached to this unhelpful belief are the following.

“I’m not a physical person” (made up protection in youth in response to protect oneself from being teased or worse).

“I don’t want to get hurt” (pursuing your PR strength is as safe as any form of exercise when structured correctly and pursued with patience).

“I am better than I was.”

These would all be the thoughts of someone who would choose one of the far less $$$ options above.

Honestly, I have no special athletic DNA.

I am 6’ 3” and that does have some advantages in certain pursuits.

Outside of that I was never the strongest, the fastest, or possess any elite innate skill that others on my teams had.

For decades, even though I lifted very regularly I told myself I would never lift 1,000lbs between a squat, deadlift and bench press.

Last year I succeeded in doing this in 33 seconds.

By learning to be precise with how I create training programs for myself and others (I’ve learned from a handful of coaches who are renowned world wide) I confronted and tested one of my hugest limiting beliefs.

I honestly don’t know what my limits are.

None of us do.

I DO KNOW I too have settled, that I am far from being in the best shape or having the strongest health I am capable of possessing.

More on this to come as put myself through and I launch my challenge.

If you too are ready to have a real, honest conversion about your potential then message me.

I CARE ABOUT HOW OTHERS THINK ABOUT ME

“I Don’t Care” Is one of the easiest phrases that expose those who are novice at BEing & mindset work.

It is a component of personal health, mental, fat loss, you name it that seldom is discussed.

Run from any coach or guru preaching not to care what others think.

Why?

Firstly, we all want and even crave that most dreaded or four-letter words… LOVE.

Those attempting to be “tough” and dismiss love are doing so out of pain, it is a learned protective response from feeling unsafe.

When we are seriously hurt, generally early in life, and left feeling unloved, many will create this strategy out of the need to survive environments that they are powerless in.

Been there, did that, for decades.

While it works temporarily, this strategy leads to being the closed off person in a relationship, then you’re left confused once you end up having to face this tendency in therapy as your relationships are crumbling, or worse, you’re always finding yourself unable to feel attached to anyone to form any serious type of relationship.

Secondly, at the precise moment “I Don’t Care About _______” appears, you have proven you DO care about that thing or person.

If you truly didn’t give a s**t it wouldn’t be on your mind, at all.

You wouldn’t be aware of it.

Negating something you’re aware of leads to unneeded internal struggle and mental & emotional load.

It’s better to determine your real emotions & thoughts about ____________ and work on those.

There is still more going on here but you get the point, what matters most is what we are going to do about it.

Here’s the strategy that helps me the most.

I want and need feedback from people closest to me, TRUSTED individuals, that is the key word here.

It’s essential as we can compare what we are feeling and thinking about ourselves to what these trusted people are seeing & feeling.

These are two points combined with the all important “results,” the outcomes from how we are BEing, that act as our compass forward.

While it may be tempting to try and make progress alone, realize that this is the telltale sign that ego is influencing how you are feeling and thinking.

Yes, it IS uncomfortable to confide in others and trust them, especially when we have to be vulnerable, but from personal experience I learned the hard way that trying to suppress thoughts and feelings only amplifies them, and gives ego fuel to manipulate and distort how we perceive reality and thus act.

I can’t stress enough how crucial this is, and that it took me 20+ years of different therapies to accept this truth.

This is why I give my VIP clients my cell number and permission to reach out to me 24/7, whether it is to celebrate wins or process obstacles that otherwise would fester and derail their efforts.

You’d be amazed at how the simple act of leaving a message begins to course correct our struggles.
