The Thrive Forever Fit Show with Jay Nixon

Becoming Iconic With Kris Whitehead

In this week's episode, my guest Kris Whitehead and I discuss winning, success and what it takes to become iconic.

Kris believes that we don't need more accountability groups. We need more WARRIORS in the fight. We need LEADERS who are willing to come together for a common cause... other than filling their bellies.

Here is a message from Kris’s website that I was so powerful it needed to be shared.

Because we are living in a world that desperately needs leaders. NOT the fictionalized heroes, social media magnates, media-crazed whores, or peddlers of junk food/feel good personal development.

We live in a time where grassroots leaders need to come together, in an alliance, to help one another understand how to connect, influence, and grow personally and together.

We need to shed the persona of "Plastic Jesus", and stand fully in our commitment to integrity...in our personal understanding of faith, our families and friends, our willingness to focus on health, as well as our commitment to grow our businesses beyond financial success only for ourselves.

In my journey this past year, during 'Rona, I joined forces with other business leaders from around the US. First hand, I saw the raw, unbridled power of a group of business leaders who simply do not allow exterior circumstances dictate their personal trajectory.

I am grateful to be involved both locally and in my travels, with other like-minded people who continue to hold themselves to personal standards far above the norm.

We broke business records even during the pandemic...

We chose to come together as a family...

We chose to run toward the fight instead of hide in fear...

I want to share this same opportunity with you.

It isn't for everyone, and it especially isn't for the weak of heart.

Although the group will help you no matter what stage of business development you're in, its' design is for those who are willing to do the work required to make a serious impact on their personal finances or those who already are.

This group is for LEADERS.

By its very definition, it's for Leaders who are in pursuit of living life to the fullest, surrounded by like-minded people who encourage you to GO FOR IT...instead of judging you for it.

Grab a pen and paper as I know you’re going to want to do some heavy note taking during our chat.

The Happy Hero Project

In this week's episode, I discuss my latest project called The Happy Hero Project.

It's actually more than a project. It's a MOVEMENT, and I hope you'll be a part of it.

Here is how the idea started and came to life.

You Are Someone's hero.

Act Accordingly!

If this doesn't make you sit up a little taller, then something is wrong with you.

Everyone is Someone's hero.

Right now, there is at least one human that looks at you and to you for their next move.

They hang on your every word and emulate every action you take.

This makes you responsible!

From this moment on, you need to be better, think better, act and react better, speak better ~ everything you do has to get better.

It's no longer just about you.

Heros are responsible.

You Are Someone's HERO.

If this episode hit home with you, I'd love it if you'd Listen, Like, and Share so that we can all begin to heal and get back to the Thriving awesomeness of the life we desire to live.

We deserve HAPPY!

The Science Behind Why We Believe Our Own Lies

In this week's episode, I discuss the psychology behind why we create and believe false truths to get us out of life situations.

Disclaimer: I initially wanted to call this episode "Are You F'ing Serious?" or "Are You Shitting Me?" but ended up opting for the more professional science-based title.

Plus, I talk about the silly things my clients say when they start a new lifestyle journey.

"I'm afraid of eating too much protein."

"I don't want to get too many muscles."

"I need to get in shape before I start working out."

Why do people so easily believe false things?

There are probably as many answers to this question as there are people who have ever believed falsehoods. Nonetheless, psychologists have shown that a relatively small set of cognitive biases or mental shortcuts can explain a lot about how false notions take root. One of the most agreed-upon ideas in the field of psychology is that people routinely use mental shortcuts to understand what happens around them. All kinds of things occur in the world around us, and we don't always have the time or energy to sit down and carefully examine all of them. So, we tend to use quick and largely unconscious rules-of-thumb to determine what we should believe—and these shortcuts sometimes steer us in the wrong direction.

Here are some of the culprits:

Emotional Reasoning: Whether we like it or not, all of us can be powerfully swayed by emotions. We'd like to think that our feelings are driven by logic and reason, particularly when it comes to our health. Unfortunately, this relationship is often reversed. Sometimes we end up using our reasoning ability to justify or defend a conclusion that we've already drawn based on our emotions. This phenomenon, called emotional reasoning, can lead us astray without our ever knowing.

Confirmation Bias: Once we have a belief, we tend to cling to it, even when it's untrue.  Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek out information that supports what we already believe.

And if you're just interested, well, then don't waste your time or the time of all those that you recruit to support you on your journey.
