Ep. 492: Triumph Over Your Environment and Succeed Anyway


Listen Later

It's easy to blame your environment for your circumstances. But is it really so hard to act positively in spite of them?

I dish on exactly this in this episode:

  1. Introduction

  2. The Importance of Environment and Personal Habits – [0:02:00]

  3. The Influence of Social Circles & Success Sayings – [0:03:30]

  4. Torah Talk: Noah's Righteousness and Decision-Making – [0:05:00]

  5. Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" – [0:07:30]

    • The power of choice between stimulus and response.
  6. Learning Languages in Non-Conducive Environments – [0:09:41]

    • My experience learning Italian and Hebrew.
    • Building consistency through daily, small commitments.
    • How environment can both help and hinder language learning.
  7. Environmental Influence on Fitness Goals – [0:12:00] (approximate)

    • Strategies for finding excuses to succeed with fitness in challenging environments.
    • The story of a women's fitness group in Jerusalem and daily micro-commitments.
  8. Final Motivation – [0:16:00]

On that note, if you like training that:

· Gives you more strength than it takes from you · Improves your stamina and resilience simultaneously · Powers-up every nook, cranny, crevice, and corner of your Soft Machine

Then you just might like my 9-Minute Kettlebell and Bodyweight Challenge.

As the name indicates, it's just 9 minutes long, and it's designed to be done WITH your current workouts – NOT instead of them.

Even cooler:

Many find that it actually amplifies their strength in their favorite kettlebell and bodyweight moves, like presses, squats, pullups, and more.

And best of all, it's free.

How free?

I'm talkin' freer than the 4th of July, my friend.

Have fun and happy training!
