I realized something over my holiday break. While home with family I was trying to maintain consistency with all my habits, reading, exercise, diet...all the things that I thought were important to me in those moments, until I realized something. I explain what that something was in this episode.

A special episode today at my parents house in my childhood workout area. Over the past couple days I realized I wasn't being perfect with my habits yet I was till getting them done. It made me think about an important idea you can use going into 2025 when it comes to maintaining habits.

In this episode I tell a story about when I was late to a basketball practice and what it taught me about blaming others. It's a valuable lesson that helps us take control of our lives instead of giving other things power over us.

Sometimes I try to control things and then realize I can't. Then I get stuck in this grey area of trying to figure out if I actually can control the outcome. In this episode I explain a simple framework to use if you get caught in this scenario as well.

I really did not want to do it, yet a thought slid into my mind. In this episode I tell you what that thing was, the thoughts that came next and what I decided to do.

I watched this video once that gave me an idea. What if just had "it" that thing that others on the surface seem like they either have or don't. Well, I had this idea when it came to discipline that might be "it" that anyone can use.

In this episode I tell a personal story about my grandpa. When he passed away, I realized this secret to life that I can forget from time to time. My goal with this episode is to help remind us of it.

I had to do 1,000 box step ups. Let the fun begin. Focusing on 1,000 box step ups can be daunting yet I developed a strategy that helped me. I realized this strategy can be applied to any goal we are trying to achieve. If you want to achieve goals this is the episode to listen to.

We doubt ourselves; it might just be because we're humans, and that's part of the experience. Yet I heard a saying from a client that was very simple that can be used to minimize that doubt. In this episode I tell a story about doubt and how I managed it using that saying. It might help you stop doubting yourself and start doing something else.

Being triggered is a new word to represent being bothered. People now want us to be aware of their "triggers", so we don't offend or bother them.

I get it, we don't want to feel uncomfortable thinking about thoughts we don't like...yet what if there was another way we could look at this? A way that was actually helpful.

That's what I discuss in this episode.
