Mindset Through Motion

In Episode 19, Eddie speaks on a topic he heard from The Secret To Success Podcast.

In talking with others, are you actually seeking advice from someone who is winning in an area of life in which you'd like to succeed, or are you seeking confirmation.

Many of us take advice given from others as us failing, because we might not be doing everything right, when in fact someone is seeing the picture from another perspective.

Do you want to improve, or do you want your ego to be fed?

In Episode 18, Eddie shares how running two trail races, with his daughter and son at different times were used to share lessons of life with his adult children.

It is during times of struggle and overcoming that we learn the most.

To overcome a moment, it can be that which prepares us for life.

From struggling physically in a race, to remind yourself of the blessings such as turning off the headlamps and embracing the stars....

To slowing down and looking around to embrace the green grasses, trees, and ravines.

Find the blessings where they are.

In Episode 17, Eddie shares about something he heard on a Podcast by Trent Shelton, a motivational speaker.

Trent shared that many of us might be addicted to our 'sad stories'.

This means we live in the events or incidents which might actually hold less weight than what we give it. Meaning, we never choose to let it go, pick ourselves up, and move on.

Eddie himself shares how two men on separate occasions knocked him back into reality with their words.

In Episode 16, Eddie reads to you a chapter from his book "Lasting Impact-Navigating the Rippling Effects of Suicide". In this reading, he shares what his thoughts were following the loss of his friend to suicide, as well as having almost followed suit his friend's actions.

This chapter titled "Sitting In Silence" emphasized the importance of not holding on to the shame, guilt, and all that burdens our lives. Sometimes, we simply need to let go.

In Episode 15, Eddie shares how not only his path created a gift to share with others the lessons learned through life...

He shares how even visualization and tapping into emotion can benefit you, rather than saying or thinking "that would never happen to me".

Life can bring about many gifts, the question is whether you choose to see them as such or as a part of life that is not significant, when it could end up being the most important aspect of your life.

In Episode 14, Eddie shares about his recent experience with his kids as they hiked into the Grand Canyon, camped out, then hiked out.

This trip meant a great deal to him as he was able to witness the lessons he taught his children as kids carry on to adulthood.

We can all learn from doing challenging things, but can you or will you embrace all that comes with it, the good and the bad?

Listen in as Eddie shares his insights of nature, hiking, and family!

In Episode 13, Eddie shares his thoughts on how there is a tendency to define ourselves or others by "worst moments".

The thing is, in life, we all make mistakes. There are times we regret the actions we take or didn't take. The question is, did we learn from those moments we would rather forget?

In moving forward, we do have to learn to acknowledge these moments...

Pick ourselves back up...

And keep it moving forward!

In this episode Eddie shares his thoughts about the words he heard from Jordan Peterson...."Don't confuse a stepping stone with a pinnacle".

In sharing his thoughts he gives ideas and examples of how what Jamil Coury had set out to do might have been seen as a pinnacle, but in the present day we are witnessing that the pinnacle was a stepping stone to something much greater.

In this episode, Eddie pulls from the book, "Choose Your Enemies Wisely" and relates it to ways to look at your reasons or why 's in what it is you do. Some hate to lose, while others love to win....is either one the wrong way to look at life?

Eddie shares how we might be conditioned from those we grew up around, as well as how we avoid being the conditions we've witnessed our whole lives.
