Welcome to a transformative session where we dive deep into the significance of honoring our commitments to ourselves. Here, you'll learn that true discipline doesn't emerge overnight; rather, it's a product of 10,000 commitments, consistently kept. As the old saying goes, "Rome wasn’t built in a day." Similarly, an unwavering sense of self-worth is constructed brick by brick, with every commitment we uphold.

Why is it crucial to keep the promises we make to ourselves? Each time you stick to a commitment, you send a clear message to your psyche: “I matter. I respect myself enough to follow through.” Over time, these repeated actions lay the foundation for genuine self-respect. Moreover, when you consistently make and maintain these personal commitments, you develop an internal sense of reliability. You become your own rock.

Our health is a primary area where these commitments manifest. Deciding to eat healthily, to exercise regularly, or even to maintain mental well-being might seem mundane on the surface. However, every time you follow through on such decisions, you reinforce the idea that you are worth the effort.  Such actions not only boost your self-esteem but also cultivate an environment where well-being thrives.


Throughout this video, we’ll delve into practical strategies to help you:

• Recognize and prioritize the commitments you make to yourself.
  
  
• Understand the intrinsic link between personal commitments and self-confidence.
  
  
• Cultivate habits that bolster your ability to follow through, even when the going gets tough.
  
  
• Celebrate small victories, understanding that each fulfilled commitment is a step closer to unshakeable self-respect.
  
  

By the end of this session, you won’t just be equipped with theoretical knowledge. You'll possess actionable steps, ready to be implemented, ensuring that you consistently honor the promises you make to yourself. More importantly, you'll come to recognize the monumental shift that arises in self-perception when you become a person who follows through, consistently and unerringly.

In conclusion, respecting oneself isn't merely about positive affirmations or self-care routines. It's deeply rooted in the way we treat our personal commitments. Just as we wouldn't break promises made to loved ones, we must grant ourselves the same courtesy. After all, the relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life. So, as you journey with us through this video, remember: to truly respect yourself is to uphold each commitment, to see each promise through, and to build a life where discipline and self-confidence intertwine seamlessly.

Join us on this enlightening journey and discover the unparalleled power of commitments. Remember, the road to unshakeable self-confidence begins with a single promise kept to oneself. And from there, it's a journey of 10,000 more. Dive in and transform your relationship with yourself today.

Ever wondered how understanding your body can unlock your health potential? In an enlightening conversation with martial artist and former classmate Tom Richards, we explore the fascinating world of fascia, the connective tissue in our bodies. Tom shares his personal experience with Rolfing, manual therapy, his holistic approach to bodywork, and how this technique allowed him to overcome a hip injury. We delve into the role of fascia in maintaining our health, discussing myofascia and its contribution to the fascia continuum. Tom enlightens us about the strain patterns that can distort our fascia, likening it to a wetsuit that doesn’t quite fit.

The journey continues as we venture into the realm of proprioception and the profound role of breath in our wellbeing. Tom draws on centuries-old Eastern wisdom on breath and its validation through modern science. We assess the transformative potential of breath as a point of leverage in changing our state of being. From there, we examine how an overdeveloped neck can limit your breath and how understanding back breathing can help mitigate tension in the upper back. Our discussion also addresses how to appropriately confront shoulder impingement and maintain pelvic mobility.

We conclude our enlightening conversation by revisiting the concept of Rolfing, while also considering other holistic approaches to health and fitness. Tom elucidates how these techniques can address chronic injuries and advance overall health and wellbeing. 

At the end of the episode, Barton discusses how with his coaching program, he emphasizes the value of integrating blood work, VO2 max testing, and DEXA scans for a comprehensive approach to anti-aging and strength enhancement.  Barton can be reached for more info in the links below.
