The Mindset Mile

Someone once told me about the six p's: proper preparation prevents piss poor performance and it's something I can never forget. Setting yourself up for success every week doesn't need to be elaborate or overly complicated but it sure beats starting your week off two steps behind. In this episode I'm sharing three tips to set your week up for maximum productivity, prioritize the things that are most urgent and follow through with your commitments to yourself.

Timestamps:

• [0:38] The six "P's."
• [1:08] #1. Food prep for the week.
• [3:56] Make a master list of what you need to do for the week.
• [5:39] Schedule exercise time.

We've been taught our whole lives to set goals, but most of the time we actually don't set them very well. Often, goals are dream-sized, and while it's important to have dreams for your life, they differ from the goals you should be setting along the way. In this episode we go over how to set SMART goals: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bound. SMART goals are the blueprint you need to get to some of those big life goals and after this episode you'll be empowered to set them well.

In this episode I share some thoughts with the usage of social media filters and how I began to question my own use with them. As you may remember, filters once started as a much more animated and obvious thing - turning you into the Grinch during the holidays or adding heart eyes during Valentine's Day. But they've since evolved into filters that change the way people look in the most subtle and oftentimes, not subtle ways, that skew features and beauty we perceive as real. Filters used to be a thing that gave my confidence a little boost, but now I see them as something that actually chips away at it. Listen in to how I believe filters may be doing more harm than they are good.

In today’s episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Jeff Bristol, whose story I know you’re going to admire. You would never know by his perfect-on-paper family life and background as a lifelong athlete, being named an All-American wrestler in high school, advancing to the University of Davis as a division one collegiate wrestler and graduating with a bachelor of science in sociology and organizational studies that Jeff struggled with an addiction to hardcore drugs and alcohol that could have changed the trajectory of his life forever.

Jeff is now the general manager and co-owner of the world renown gym Fitness Quest 10 in San Diego, CA, has a beautiful family with his wife Sam and their son Knox. He is dedicated to his mission to change as many lives as possible through fitness, positivity, building community at his gym and sharing a story of hope for those who may find themselves struggling with the same darkness he left behind for 9 years and counting.

Most people go through life seeing themselves as they are and seeing their life as it is and maybe there’s slight fluctuation for the better but for the most part, most people go through life settling for my least favorite four letter word: fine. In this episode we talk about how to think like your future self, the one who is already at the goals you dream about. That is the type of thinking that will get you from where you are not to where you want to be.

What is something you’re afraid of committing to because you’re worried about what it will require of you? Today we reframe what we see as hard and how choosing to stay right where we are does not necessarily equal the opposite. Staying put does not mean that it's easy. But instead of looking at change in terms of only what you will need to sacrifice, you'll gain a new perspective on what is hard most often times will mean that it's so worth going for.
