Better Sleep.

In this episode, I share the what, why, and how's of sleep.  This my friends are the secret sauce to living a re-ignited lifestyle. Make it your priority!

When did sleep become a bad word?  In college, after pulling an all-nighter, we wore it like a badge of honor.  Doctors go through a grueling process of working long hours during their internship.  Sorry, I want my doctor to be well rested and on his A-game!

Focusing on maximizing not only my sleep quality but also my sleep quality has been a game changer!

Getting enough high-quality sleep has provided my mental and physical being with the necessary resiliency to take on whatever life has to through at me.  Coupled with destressing by owning my morning and I have been able to develop an unbeatable mindset.

It all works in concert.

I no longer stay up the late struggle to find solutions.  I stop work at a decent hour, turn my attention towards those things that bring me joy, especially my family and get a good night's sleep.  Nine times out of ten the solution appears to my previous day's challenge.

Every. Time.

Back in the day, it was thought that when you sleep your brain shuts down and relaxes just like the rest of your body.  Your body goes into a restive state couldn't be further from the truth.  Your body is undergoing a massive regenerative process that will keep you thriving! 

Crucial hormones like testosterone and human growth hormone are replenished.  No sleeping, guess what's going to low in your next blood test. Housekeeping services are cleaning your brain. Lean muscle production is in full swing; cortisol level is on the decline and so much more…

And, yes, your stress level will decrease with a good night's sleep! You are more equipped to deal with all those modern stresses.  Coupled with owning the morning and you will become an unstoppable machine. Simply make getting sleep a priority.

Less Stress.

The podcast and the book of the same name, RE-IGNITE is based on the three principles that will set the foundation for everything you do in life. 

These principles are:

1. Less Stress
2. Better Sleep
3. Unbeatable Mindset

In the episode, we'll focus on Less Stress.  Stress reduction is a critical foundational element that will support whatever we desire to do, now and in the future. Since these three Re-Ignite foundational principles are interconnected you can't discuss one without referencing the others.

So there will be topics introduced briefly, but rest assured, we'll do a deep dive during the upcoming episodes.

Back in the day, and by that I mean all the way back in prehistoric times, man developed an amazing process to change state from placid to ultra-focused in the event an attack from a predator was imminent. 

Cortisol was release, blood pressure rose, and access to the prefrontal cortex was restricted.  This complete and immediate biological transformation allowed the human body to maximize its biochemistry for immediate action in the face of danger.  

There was a down-side to this response.  Cortisol increases inflammation, the source of all illness. Maintaining this state was never a part of the human design, and as such prehistoric man would quickly return it more placid, steady state.

Fast forward 200,000 years and welcome to the age of acceleration!  We now can control our environment to such an extent that we are counteracting our evolution!  Moden times means we've exchanged our alignment with the circadian wake-sleep cycle with all-nighters. 

We've moved our nutritional needs outside the parameters of optimal performance. We treat sleep like an inconvenience instead of the regenerative process that it is.

First, we must deal with the stress monster!

Re-Ignite Principle #1: Less Stress

 

More About The Re-Ignite Lifestyle

In addition to these principles, diet and exercise are just as important, I chose to focus on these three as my principles.  I have brought on leading experts including, Darin Steen, John Vasquez, and Doug Dorsey to discuss fitness.  I have lined up more than a few through leader son nutrition at the ready.

Heather Eisenmayer, Sherry Brantley, and Kirsten Bloomquist have shared their expertise in managing our mindset through goal setting, meditation, and hypnosis.  While Dr. Jane Guyn, and Sam and Patrick Cullinane have shown us how to re-ignite our relationships.

In the fall I will be launching a Re-Ignite Lifestyle YouTube Channel to share with you how me and my family Re-Ignite in travel and everyday life.  I can't wait!!

Stay tuned, because we're just getting started!

You know mental clarity requires sound nutrition?  One of the principals I follow to re-ignite my life is simple and quality diet while we are on the go.  These are some of the principles taught by our health and wellness advisors.

Master your habits.

Your goals or outcomes are nothing more than compounded habits.  There are things we know that if we can stop doing we will improve our lives.

Break the habits that are not making you a better version of yourself. For things to change you have to change.  For things to get better you have to get better.

Then, all your results will improve around you!

You are responsible for your life.  Don't sit around and expect someone to rush in and save you.  Only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward.

You have to create yourself, in fact, no one else is going to create you.

Everybody has got to start somewhere and it's up to you to take responsibility for yourself and say I've got to go out there and build myself brick by brick, skill by skill.

Grow your mini good habits into habits that you don't even need to think about.  Want an easy place to start?  When you first get up in the morning, make your bed. 

You will have accomplished the first task of the day.  When you do this, it makes the next task easier to accomplish.  The little things in life matter.   If we can't do the little things in life, you'll never be able to do the big things.

Now, life isn't going to be fair and you are going to fail.  But if you stare down the bullies, fight through the failures, and step up to life's challenge. And above all never ever give up, I promise your life will only go in one direction and that's the path you've chosen.

Nothing will change for the better until you do. You have the time, so if you too tired after work, binge-watching Netflix, or play video games.  It's not the economy, it's not your job, it you!

Just quit doing the wrong things now, because You know deep inside that what you are doing is not right.

The secret of achievement will be determined by your daily actions.  What you want to have tomorrow you have to earn today.

What are your daily habits and are they empowering your goals?  Are you being consistent?

Are you really working hard towards those goals?  Success leaves footprints, those footprints are the accumulation of your habits. 

What footprints are you leaving to realizing your goals?

Remember, good habits are hard to form but easy to live with.  While bad habits are easy to form but hard to live with.  Don't try to break new habits, these are already imprinted in your brain. 

The only way to you can break a bad habit is to replace it with a good habit.

You need to muster the initial energy like a spacecraft defying gravity at take-off and soaring into orbit.

Make a plan.  Be discipline every day about executing your plan and you will achieve well beyond your wildest dreams.

As Walt Disney said, if you can dream it you can do it.  It's time to make your dreams come true.  Don't think about your limits, focus on building good habits and make them your master, and soar to your dreams.

Do your job.  It's not just a cool motivational statement used in sports to focus highly skilled athletes on performing in stressful situations; this applies to all of us seeking to achieve.  When we are on our journey, we need to focus on what it will take to reach your dreams and not focus in on what others are doing.

Did you know that a person living today absorbs as much information in a single day than a person living 100 years ago ingested in an entire year! What this means is that not only are you bombarded with information but inundated with news that does not serve your higher purpose.  We can see this on in all the shiny objects we pursue and all the rabbit holes we jump.

Let's stop focusing on what others are doing and stay focused on what we need to do, what aligns with your higher purpose, and what will lead us down the path of success.  It may happen tomorrow, or it may take years.  No matter, enjoy the journey and do your job.

Welcome to this episode of The Re-Ignite Podcast, Power Edition, which are short chapters designed to re-ignite your life and encourage actionable recommendations to start living life with purpose and passion. Today's episode is a recording of a live event where I discussed the magic of sleep.

The setting of this live event was a breakfast speech where I spoke to a mastermind of business leaders focused on building their relationship with their partners. I talked in a short, TED-style environment with plenty of interaction with the audience.

I can bring you the sound of my voice, but unfortunately, I can't bring you the great smells of the breakfast at this Arizona resort.

I hope you enjoy my brief introduction to the wonders of sleep. Sleep is a core pillar of a re-ignited lifestyle and one I will be bringing to the podcast in greater depth with an extended power edition soon.

I will also bring you other extended power edition episodes focused on the other two pillar of a re-ignited lifestyle; reducing stress and building an unbeatable mindset.

You have to be all in when it comes to pursuing your dreams and goals. There is no middle ground when it comes to achievement.  There are no deep secrets that only a few select individuals possess. The process remarkably simple, but the execution requires you to be all in on your aspirations. Set your intentions and then get the necessary leverage on yourself that you become unstoppable. No excuses. Set the direction, cut off all paths of retreat, and witness the magic unfold.

I hope to inspire you in this episode of The Re-Ignite Podcast, Power Edition, that you, like all successful people have to be all in on your dreams and cut off any path of retreat! I hope to continue inspiring you to live your dash, live the life that is designed and built by you.

In 1519 Hernan Cortes with about 600 Spaniards, around 16 horses and 11 boats landed on the coast of a great empire in a land known today as, Mexico.

Cortes and his men were about to take on an empire that contained vast wealth in gold, silver, and other precious metals.  Cortes was about to go up against the Aztecs.

But, with only 600 men up against upward of 3,000 Aztec warriors, conquering such a vast empire amounted to a suicide mission.

This was made even more challenging by the fact that for over 600 years conquerors with far more men and resources at their disposal had tried and failed to take the treasures of the Aztec nation.

Cortes needed leverage on his men to ensure victory, but how…

Cortes was known as a great motivator.  We don't know all the words he used to motivate his men, because only three words survived the history of time and they were…

Burn the boats.

That right, faced with insurmountable odds of success he cut off the only avenue of retreat.

They know were faced with two choices: Die or Succeed.

History tells us his men were highly motivated.

Cortes was all in! Are you?
