118: How To Be A Doer Instead Of A Sayer with Mark


Listen Later

Today's guest, Mark, is a bit different than past guests—and not just because of his accent.

Mark only joined Man Flow Yoga about three months ago. But he's made a lot of progress in those three short months:

He's consistently doing between four and six sessions a week (after being a self-described "start-stop" person who has always struggled with inconsistency).

He's more flexible, mobile, and doesn't have as many random aches from his job as a cabby..

And he even shocked his chiropractor in a recent appointment at the stark improvements he made.

Best part?

As I alluded to, Mark has always struggled with consistency. He even struggled being consistent with Man Flow Yoga at the beginning—but he's found his stride and offers hope if you're in a similar situation.

In this episode, Mark shares:

  • How to crack the code of consistency (after being inconsistent for your entire life)

  • Simple ways to shift your mindset to get through a workout when you're not feeling up to it

  • What Mark did to build consistency after failing to complete the Strength Foundations Challenge

And more, including…

  • The trick for not letting your days of missed workouts pile up so much it becomes overwhelming (3:09)

  • Why being too hard on yourself after missing a workout or two backfires and makes it harder to restart (and what to do instead) (4:28)

  • Does yoga really make you taller? Well, not exactly, but it does THIS (5:29)

  • The #1 most helpful Man Flow Yoga Program for turning yoga into a habit (6:29)

  • How this simple "better than" mindset shift prevents you from beating yourself up (10:04)

  • How Mark shocked his chiropractor after only 3 months of Man Flow Yoga (14:16)

  • Addicted to your morning cup of coffee? Here's the weird way Man Flow Yoga might help… (18:07)

Quotes from this episode's guest:

  • (3:06) I suppose I'd done about three and a half weeks of the Strength Foundations Challenge. And then I started slipping back into the well, "I can miss today, then I can miss tomorrow." And then I was sitting at home and beating myself up about it and then I thought you know what, I keep saying to my partner don't be a sayer be a doer, don't keep saying tomorrow or the next time and just do it.

  • (4:39) I told myself, you haven't got to do it every day. If you could do it three times a week, four times, maybe more. And now I'm averaging between four and six sessions a week instead of zero.

  • (10:14) Don't be too hard on yourself if you can't make too many sessions. Don't beat yourself up because you're the one suffering. If you can do two, that's better than none. If you could do three, that's better than one or two.

  • (11:54) Don't be a sayer, be a doer.

  • (18:07) Since Man Flow Yoga, I'm drinking a lot more water as well. In the morning, I don't put the coffee on. I've got two pints of water. And again, that's something else I feel so much better for. Why drink coffee in the morning to wake up when I'm awake?
