Teaser: There are moments – glimpses of time where we are on the very edge of greatness, where we have no idea that if we could summon one more second, one more attempt, one more push we would breakthrough. But it hurts, it is painful, it is uncomfortable – it is just too much so we back off – we ease up, we retreat and withdraw. Although not all of us do some learn how to manage it

Today’s podcast is the possibility of the pain threshold.

Today we will talk about:

What is the pain threshold?

When do we push – when do we rest – how can we get comfortable being uncomfortable?

What are the small things we can do with our experiences with the pain threshold to empower ourselves to become better.

Good to be with you on the podcast for today. Our topic for today is to push our own personal leadership to get a bit better ourselves. Michelle seemed to notice a pattern with the podcast topics and downloads. The podcasts which were about topics which were about ourselves – which were about getting better as a person seemed to have the most downloads. And I wonder is this the case?

With this podcast I will need to project a bit inot the future with what I see may happen in the near future. Since I focused on writing two podcasts this weekend to record two next weekend. So looking into the future a bit. I had an interesting conversation about a potential Ad sponsor on the podcast which was cool. I will have been a part of a panel interview as a moderator for, More than a Word at ASU West. This will have been a true watershed moment for me as this will be my first time sharing space with one of my Native heroes Amanda Blackhorse. She was a major focus of the documentary More than a Word which focuses on the negative effects of Mascots Stereotypes on Native people. One of my highlights was Amanda Peltier and Amanda Blackhorse shared my event on Facebook! How cool!

Also remember to rate and review us on iTunes, or Stitcher, or if you could please share the podcast on social media, All these things go a long way to making a significant difference for us here at the inclusive activism podcast. Also please subscribe to our podcasts on iTunes, Stitcher, or Google Play as these are great ways for me to show “proof of work to potential sponsors”. It would also go a long way in getting my producer Sara paid for her work someday too!

So checking in on my Activism:

This week I will have done the screening of More than a Word

I will have given my first persuasive speech on why participants should be in DI.

I am now a graduate of Valley Leadership Advance – hooray for me!

Other than that this is a planned break time for me – I had been running pretty hot and heavy the past few weeks and resting is a part of positive activism

Self Care: This is a projection

Lift X5 a week which – is really needed this will be my first 5 day week in a long time

Got 3X cardio one will be a lifting session, another will be a hike or outdoor speed work, and the last I am hoping will be a friends crossfit gym

And Meditated for 4X for at least 10-15 mins didn’t do much this week due to the holiday weekend

I will get a lot of sleep over this Thanksgiving weekend which is positive

And started some training with the dogs this weekend which is needed because they need some stability.

So on to the podcast for today! The Pain Threshold.

First thing: What is the pain threshold?

The threshold of pain or pain threshold is the point along a curve of increasing perception of a
