On todays Friday Fire I dive into the concept of changing your speech from change the words from I HAVE to, to I GET To. There are thins in life that we have to do, like going to the gym, but if we change the words to I get to, than it switches into a gratitude mentality and you start thinking how grateful you are that you have the opportunity and ability to do it.

On todays Friday Fire I dive into the concept of changing your mentality and speech. Don't say you Can't do something, just say that you haven't done it yet. It switches the mentality from am impossibility based thinking to a solution based thinking. I used to believe that there were things that were impossible, and now I just think that it just hasn't been done yet. Switching to a solution based thinking, or problem solving mentality makes all the difference.

On todays Friday Fire I dive into my recent story of having a major heart attack. It was pretty wild for me, as I focus on health, wellness and fitness and at age 36 I thought I would be the last candidate for having a heart attack. What I has was called SCAD, which is Spontaneous coronary artery dissection, which also made it a little hard to understand as no one really knowns why it even happened in the first place.
