There are things in my life and fitness that cause me discontentment. I have tried in the past to suppress this desire but have found that another piece is needed. I have to be content with intention on change with a reasonable due date and plan to achieve this change. This paradigm has given me a lot more peace and energy to improve my life.

A huge lesson I've learned from Warren Buffet is the importance on having a proper state of mind for effective decision making. He does this by allowing himself to indulge in certain luxuries such as McDonald's and Coca-cola so that he can be in a relaxed state for effective decision making. This episode is how we can tap in to that paradigm for our Sunday weekly planning.

There are a few different kinds of hikes ranging from an easy stroll on a short hike all the way up to longer term wilderness back packing trips. There are some very important things that need to be addressed to not only make sure you are going to have a good time but sometimes make sure you will survive, so I'll go over some of these points with you today.

Summer is upon us and with that comes the very enjoyable beverage options available to us. This episode is about keeping in mind the expansive amounts of resources and strategies businesses use to condition you to purchase their beverage products that are high in sugars, how to mitigate that without having to cut it out completely, and how to substitute bull crap mixes for whole natural mixers that reduce overall sugar consumption.

These daily 5k's are hard as hell folks. They get more difficult every day. I've been trying to work in bag classes at the same time but these runs have been wiping me out along side all my other work I haven't had the energy or even sheer will to get there. But I am making very good strides and seeing some good results.

I am someone who likes to develop skillsets for fun. Even on my down time I play StarCraft 2 because it is an endless skill I can develop. One thing I see across the board in every skill I develop is that it is significantly harder to do it every day for a short amount of time than do it a few days a week for a longer chunk of time. Not only is it more difficult but it is exponentially more effective in the growth of that skill set. Fitness and mindset development is a skill so I talk about applying this paradigm to this specific activity.

Stress will fucking kill you. Now, we don't have any control over the things the world throws our way that can cause us stress but we do have a say in how we  are able to handle it. Mostly for guys stress escapes us in the form of aggression so doing good things to release that aggression that contribute to our long term growth allows us to take back control over ourselves so we don't have to be so reactive to whatever situations we find ourselves in.

I have been working on a behavioral goal lately in the form of waking up earlier. I haven't been able to successfully develop this behavior yet but I am seeing really positive change along the way which I delve in to more in this episode. Happy Monday!

Today I'm just going over some recipes I'm going to try for my meal prep and how scheduling out everything down to my workout times is going to affect my week as well as productivity.

Especially on the weekend you gotta mix this shit up. Fitness stuff can get so boring and repetitive so I went rock climbing at the rock climbing gym which was really fun. It works different muscles and develops a new fitness skill that isn't too serious.
