Your thoughts will influence your words, which determines your actions. Your actions will define your habits which make up your character. Your character will determine your destiny. Learn to master your thoughts.

In this 6 part series we will go over each of these evolutions beginning with how your thoughts influence your words.

It is very difficult for us to have complete control over our thoughts. Our thoughts often run wild and sometimes when you are in a difficult situation you have some thoughts that you might fail or you might think you aren’t good enough. Most of the time you can dismiss them, but there is a serious change when you speak that you are going to fail or that you “can’t do it.”

Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your character, and your character determines your destiny.

If we can become aware that we can control our thoughts that is the first step to being able to choose the positive thought that will move you forward rather than allowing your inner voice to tell you unproductive things. If thoughts are left unchecked, they can become words and you can actually speak things into existence. On this episode we dive in on your thoughts.

Many people in their 50’s would say that they are on a decline physically. I feel exactly the opposite. In fact, I have set multiple PR’s in many different workouts and weight lifting and I am 53! I had a person text me and ask if I had changed anything in my life this year that has lead to me feeling and performing so well. At first, I didn’t nothing really came to mind because the things I have added have taken place over a long period of time. However, upon really thinking about it, I narrowed it down to 4 things: changes in my sleep schedule, supplements in the form of vitamins and minerals, stretching, and water intake.

I am filming Saltwater Experience this week. Filming calls for very early mornings and LONG days but it is crucial to stick as tightly to my programming as I can. In this episode I go over how I can look over my program before a trip and figure out what few pieces of equipment I could bring with me and modify my programming for the road. I may not improve my conditioning while I am traveling, but I will make sure that I do not take a step backwards.

We discuss how you can work with your Coach or trainer to come up with alternatives to your program that allow you to maintain fitness and momentum. All it takes is a little planning.

Music can not only be a good distraction from pain, but it can also be used AS the workout or at least part of it. One of the songs I like to use is Roxanne by The Police. In this episode I go through how I use this song as a part of the workout rather than just as background. We also use “Bring Sally Up” (actually called Flower by Moby). There could be 1000s of other songs that may fit this format as well. Listen and learn how to do it. Do you have any songs that you use like this? Text me and let me know 305-930-7346
