  • #21 - Choose an explanation that empowers you

    We get to choose how we see the world.


    It's one of the great things about being a human.

    Something can happen to us and then we get to choose how we decide to react to it.

    And what's even more amazing, is that we can also decide to give that same thing/event its own meaning...

    Either positive or negative.

    Either empowering or dis-empowering.

    But either way, WE get to choose and WE get to decide.

    I don't know about you, but I find that amazing and very exciting.

    But here's the thing, most people don't realize this and they certainly don't make it a daily practice in their life...

    To be able (in any moment) to choose a different response...consciously...

    .

    I wanted to share another email with you today on this episode all about this very topic, as I think it is such a powerful mindset/mental health tool for us to be able to use, in any given moment, in any are of our life.

    I really hope you enjoy this episode and that it helps you on your own journey.

    Feel free to share it with your family and friends if you think it may help them.

    And if you have a spare minute and you are getting value from this show, please rate and review it. That would mean so much.

    Thank you.

    Much love

  • #20 - Mental Health or Mental Toughness??

    I wanted to do another Q and A style Podcast on today's episode.

    I was asked two great questions on my Instagram story the other day and they were too hard to answer in 15 seconds so here we are!

    The questions were:

    1. Is Mental Health the same as Mental Toughness?

    and

    2. Can exercise prevent mental health?

    Two great questions and I hope I did them justice in this episode.

    I hope it helps you.

    Share it with your family and friends if you think it will help them.

    And as always, any questions, message me over on Instagram: @edarmstronghealth 

    Much love

  • #18 - Mental Wealth

    A special episode for Mental Health Awareness Month.

    Rather than just have me talk for an hour, I wanted to do a more Q and A style, so I asked a few of my followers on Instagram (@edarmstronghealth) to ask me some questions and I wanted to share my answers to them, with you all.

    I hope it helps.

    Share it with all your family and friends if you think it could help.

  • #15 - The Power of Perspective

    A real short little episode for you today all about the Power of Perspective.

    It's so important for us to understand that no matter what we are going through we can always choose to see the situation as an opportunity instead of an obstacle that we cannot overcome.

    Re framing our thoughts in those moments is so powerful and more often that not, it allows us to keep going on our journey and it allows us to learn and adapt to the situation.

    Often one of the biggest problems people have is that they feel powerless to change and they buy into the negative self talk and dis-empowering stories that tell them that they aren't good enough, worthy enough, smart enough...the list goes on.

    The key is to look for the lessons in these moments, the opportunity, the truth about the situation and to remain grateful for the fact that you can even try to change and improve your life.

    It's a privilege.

    Hope this episode helps.

    Much love.

  • #14 - The Infinite Mindset

    In this episode I wanted to discuss the power of the infinite mindset.

    It's a simple principle to understand and hopefully this episode will do it justice.

    This mindset is a lifestyle mindset and for any of you out there on your own journey, my hope is that it will help you.

    All too often we beat ourselves up when we haven't hit our goal 'yet' or something we want is taking much longer to achieve than we had once hoped and sometimes when this happens, we lose faith all together in the process and give up. This of course means we never get to where we want to go and the cycle of being "on" or "off" repeats itself. 

    The infinite mindset is all about having those goals and visions but not focusing too much on when they happen or how long they take. It's more about becoming the person capable of achieving the goals and dreams you want for yourself and it's about becoming more self-aware to your daily actions.

    The question is, "Am I moving towards the person I want to become or am I moving away??"

    It's about being honest with yourself and your progress. It's not about beating yourself up and feeling like a failure when you're slightly "off" (which you will be). It's about realizing that the journey you're on is a life long process of self improvement. 

    When you get off track, be honest with yourself and then get back on. It's that simple.

    When you focus on the small daily actions and the daily processes you soon realize that when you're playing the long game (the infinite game), you can't mess it up.

    And I don't know about you, but that is a pretty powerful place to be.

    Enjoy the show.

    Share it with your friends.

    Ps Feel free to rate and review. I appreciate you all!

  • #13 - State. Story. Strategy.

    This episode is really helpful to anyone out there feeling low, anxious or just down at the moment.

    More often than not, when we are in a negative headspace our physiology (our state) is negative. It reflects how we feel.  

    A great way to quickly get yourself out of that is to change your state as soon as you identify this.

    When our state is poor, our story is negative and then the strategies that follow attract more of the same.

    BUT, the good news is, we can flip this on its head. We can change how we feel. 

    For me, it starts with moving when you don't feel like it.

    You're not supposed to 'feel like it' or be 'motivated' all the time. That's not realistic but you can decide to take control of the situation and move knowing that when you do something positive with your body, more positive actions and feelings usually follow. 

    It helps me anyway. I really hope this episode helps you too.

    Enjoy.
