What is grit? How do we increase grit and why do we need it?

Just as we can increase our strength through barbell training, we can increase our mental toughness and grit through undergoing the challenges involved in barbell training. The grit we develop through this process helps us when life confronts us with obstacles, which it inevitably will.

Matt, Scott, and Dr. Puder continue their discussion of red flags and green lights: things to avoid and things to look for in partners to build healthy relationships.

Check out Dr. David Puder's podcast here: https://www.psychiatrypodcast.com/

Here is the red flags list: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a0b24e0bff200118a898f2d/t/5d957e4af14cb6013b0823c5/1570078283487/Red+Flags+In+Dating+V002.pdf

Many people didn't see healthy relationships as a child, and media too often only cover relationships still in the early, puppy love phase. Long-term healthy relationships involve getting past the puppy love phase, learning and then accepting the others' faults. Adults often find themselves mimicking the relationships they had or saw as children. Learn how to work on yourself, and your relationship, and better identify the warnings signs of unhealthy partners.

Whereas Dr. Puder first addressed friendships, he now digs into romantic relationships, how to find and create healthy, enlivening relationships, and what to avoid when looking for a partner.

Here is his red flag list: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a0b24e0bff200118a898f2d/t/5d957e4af14cb6013b0823c5/1570078283487/Red+Flags+In+Dating+V002.pdf

Often times, if you find yourself attracted to those people who have many of these attributes, the best way to address this is to work on yourself--seek therapy and other means to improve yourself. Also, have friends and others you can turn to to provide healthy, honest feedback on your dating choices.

Ultimately, this is about thriving.

What is depression? How do we recognize depression in ourselves and others? How can we help those with depression? How do we identify and help those who may have depression as strength coaches? Brooke Haubenstricker--BLOC Staff Coach & PBC--discuss this with Dr. David Puder.

Check out Dr. David Puder's podcast here: https://www.psychiatrypodcast.com/

Everyone experiences grief and sadness, but for some at certain points in their life, they become depressed. Though there are different causes of depression and different types, people will often display certain signs, such as increased or decreased appetite, suicidality, lethargy, trouble sleeping or increased sleep.

A normal aspect of depression is a gap between reality and perception. People will not take compliments but will linger on critical feedback.

Although coaches can take certain actions to help those with depression, it is important to remember that we are not mental health professionals though we can help. The importance of building good relationships and authentic connection is also revealed, as if we have built trust and an ability to communicate prior to depression, we are more likely to be able to not only identify the issue but also help.

Dr. Puder and Brooke discuss practical ways to approach lifters, such as changing workouts to a total number of reps and ensuring communication is positive and encouraging.
