The Thrive Forever Fit Show with Jay Nixon

Your Mindset Is A Muscle

In this episode, I'm going to help you understand the importance of training your mindset just like you do your biceps. The more in shape you get your mind, the less your effected by adversity and life in general.

Yes, your mindset is a muscle and must be trained and worked on daily. Just like you can't go to the gym once and be in great shape, you can't read one book and think you're going to be a mindset master.

Power Takeaways from this Episode:

1. Success in life, no matter the area will be determined by the quality and strength of your mindset

2. The magic ratio is 80% Mindset and 20%, Mechanics

3. You Vocabulary Matters ~ the words you use create the actions you take.

4. Mindset masters are proactive vs. reactive ~ reactive people usually lose.

5. Life happens for you and not to you ~ this simple perspective shift will create a wave of positivity and success for you.

6. Reframing is a power that you must master ~ "what can I learn from this situation?"

7. You’re being brainwashed into a negative mindset by the media.

Work on your mindset daily ~ make it part of your morning success routine.

Diet vs. Transformation (yes they are very different)

In this episode, I'm going to example the differences between a diet and a transformation. After you've listened I you'll have all the tools, knowledge, and resources to make an educated decision on which one is best for you.

Secret: There is only one correct answer.

Power Takeaways from this Episode:

2. Diets have a start and stop date, which means once the stop date comes, you will revert back to your pre-start habits, which equal weight gain vs. Transformations that don't have an end date or finish line. When there is no end date, you continue to build momentum and progress as you go.

3. Diets are built on quick-fix gimmicks, pills, potions and lotions, and the ever-popular buzz term hacks vs. Transformations, which are built on mindful, intelligent decision making through modifications and moderation.

4. Diets might bring short term instant gratification, but it is always followed by a depressive relapse to old habits vs. Transformations, which are provide real longterm results that are sustainable for a lifetime.

5. Diets do more harm than good by jacking up your hormone and immune systems leading to longterm side-effects and sickness vs. Transformations that improve your bodied internal systems and lead to a healthier body inside and out.

6. Diets lead to disease vs. Transformations, which prevent and even eradicate diseases.

7.Diets cause anxiety and depression vs. Transformations, which improve mental health and lead to healthy, happier lives.

So as you can clearly see, Transformation is the only logical choice.

Get off the diet rollercoaster forever and start your Transformation today.

There are two ways I can help you.

Avoid The Holiday Hangover (and it's not what you think)

In this episode, I'm going to give you the strategies you need to avoid the Holiday Hangover. If you listen and apply these tips, this will be the most stress-free holiday season you've ever had - I PROMISE.


Power Takeaways from this Episode:


1. The average person gains between 5 and 13 pounds from Halloween to New Years Day.


2. It's 100% ok to only see and interact with your family in moderation over the holidays. Time doesn't = LOVE.

4. Money - This is a no-brainer, commonsense statement but don't spend money you don't have to buy people things they don't need. Gifts don't = LOVE.


5. Booze - Listen, I enjoy a glass or two of wine as much as the next person, so I'm not saying don't drink. I'm simply suggestion mindful consumption and moderation.


6. Overwhelm and Anxiety - This is the #1 thing I hear, "the holidays are so stressful." WHAT?!?!? The holidays meant to be a ton of joy, laughter, and love. See them and treat for what they are and not the made-up overspending over-consuming nightmare we've created them to be.


Follow my tips and strategies, and this will be the best holiday season of your life.

Mindset ~ Momentum ~ Modeling: The Three M's of Success

In this episode, I'll explain why these three elements are the key to your longterm success in every area of life. 

Mindset: The ratio has to be 80% Mindset and 20% Mechanics because of regardless of the area of life your mechanics will breakdown

Momentum: "𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐭, 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐭."

If you’ve known me prior to reading this book, you probably know how much value I place on the quality of people in a support system; you know I call it your Circle of Success. 

Ever since I met Lori and committed to creating a better life for myself, I’ve realized how important it is to keep people around who challenge me. If no one is pushing me out of my comfort zone, I’ll just stay put. I am very intentional about the people I give my time and energy to, and I invest in coaches, programs, and masterminds to support my continual growth.

One person I’m privileged to call a mentor is none other than Ed Mylett. I have learned a ton from Ed, but one of the biggest lessons he’s handed down to me can be summed up by the following: @edmylett

There is nothing quite like the feeling of momentum. Like a snowball rolling downhill, just a little bit of movement can eventually translate to a powerful force once things start moving. An object’s momentum doesn’t begin as a massive, unstoppable force. It starts as a small thing that keeps picking upsize and/or speed the more it continues down its path.

This clip is from Chapter 16 Stacking Momentum of my new book - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧: 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘛𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘩, 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦’𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘶𝘤𝘬!

Modeling/Mentorship: Success leaves clues ~ find a coach or mentor that has what you want or has done what you want to do and model their actions. 

Mentorship gives you access!

"It's not a fucking diet!"

Sorry about using the "D" word so boldly.

I know that word carries a lot of power and creates negative feelings for most of you.

And rightly so!

If you're anything like me and 100% of my clients, you've tried a diet or diets and FAILED every single time.

Why, because that's precisely what diets are set-up for you to do, FAIL.

The concept of the "diet" is flawed from the get-go.

Here are the stages of the diet:

*Bold declaration of new eating pattern with a set start and end date, inset Keto, Paleo, Low-Carb, No-Carb, Dr. ________, Book I read, Internet guy/gal I follow that is super fit, etc...

*Clean out fridge and pantry of all the junk.

*Go to store spend a boatload of money on a bunch of green stuff you'll never eat.

*I Forget, elaborate Facebook/IG post about your new diet that is going to be the one that changes it all for you. Insert #thisismyyear

*10 days later, the green stuff is gross and starting to smell up the fridge, so you throw it away and go to the store to repurchase the junk you threw away ten days before.

Or something like that.

This is WHY you will hear me preach and teach that a DIET is not your solution for the situation.

And this is WHY I created and teach my Thrive Forever Fit Program.

Thrive Forever Fit is a lifestyle, not a diet.

Thrive Forever Fit is a lifestyle, not a quick fix.

Thrive Forever Fit is a lifestyle, not a hack.

Thrive Forever Fit is a lifestyle, not deprivation and starvation.

You don't need someone to tell you that salads are healthier than donuts.

You don't need someone to tell you that you shouldn't get ice cream every night before bed.

You don't need someone to tell you that drinking soda and eating candy bars every day is eventually going to make you fat.

You need someone to support up.

You need someone to help you with accountability.

You need someone to help you with motivation and inspiration.

You need someone to believe in you even thou you don't believe in yourself.

You need guidance and support, not deprivation and starvation.

You need a lifestyle that allows you to eat everything and anything you like while still staying healthy and fit.

Healthy and fit don't have an END DATE, diets do.

The key to your success is mindful, intelligent eating, accompanied by support and accountability.

If you're tired of being on a diet, give me a buzz, send me a DM, get in touch with me somehow, and I will show you how to live forever fit without ever having to use the D-word again.
