Just a quick step away from the episodes to say thank you.

In this episode, we talked about dealing with certain emotions as we try to achieve our goals. Dr. Zuckerman is a psychotherapist on the mainline that has experience with helping people learn how to deal with the discomfort of undergoing necessary change in life. We learned what we can do to deal with this influx of change due to the pandemic and we discussed what we can do to help ourselves after...

So your back, neck, and shoulders hurt from sitting, huh? Today we've got a short episode with some causes of pain (outside of just sitting) as well as some preventative actions to take. 

Don't get it twisted. This episode isn't about getting all woo woo and injecting sunshine and rainbows up your butt. No, this is a practical tactic for being positive and staying the course. I actually thought of this on my run today that wasn't so inspiring, but at least this episode came from it, so it's not all bad. 

The riskiest thing in your life is letting other people run your life. Most people miss out on parts of their life because they are afraid of judgment and what people will think about them. Today, we're going to talk about living your life and why regret is the worst thing to have in your life. 

Today we're going to talk about feet. Yeah, I know, they're disgusting to most people, but they're important. In fact, I'll probably go on record as saying they are the most under-appreciated parts for how much they work for you. Listen and learn how you can make them work even better and help you reduce the probability of foot and ankle injury.

Today we're going back to the fitness well and we're talking about 3 different ways to set up your workout routine. I kept it really basic and short, but if you have any questions, shoot me an email or visit the website. Generalfitnesscompany.com

Listen, you don't have to go hard all the time. Sometimes, it's okay to take a break. This is how you do it for your fitness routine.

In today's episode, we had an interesting interview with Main Line's Therapist of the year by Main Line Parent in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 & 2020. She's extremely knowledgeable and today she helps us with setting goals the right way. She helps us with setting up a plan for losing 30 pounds in a year. Click here for the goal-setting worksheet we talked about and enjoy the episode. 

Happiness always comes at a price. The thing is that most aren't willing to pay it. The other thing is that once you actually commit, the price you pay is actually enjoyable to pay. Sound confusing? Listen to this short episode to see what I mean about finding happiness in your life. 

Ok....so take two. In this episode, I bring it all the way back to two days ago. I just wasn't happy with the quality of that episode and it had some really valuable content about working out and weight training. So here I am recording it again. Enjoy

We're gonna get super tactical today in accomplishing your goals. I had an interview with a psychologist today for a future podcast, but I'm gonna leak some of the info for you today on this episode. 

Yeah, you don't have a gym right? Ok great. Listen to this episode to find out exactly the best way to train if you don't have a place to train. 

Have you ever thought about the things that you don't want in life and felt motivated by avoiding them? Well, stop that! Today we're gonna be talking about why negative thinking or in other words, thinking about what you don't want, can get you exactly that. This episode is about mindset, but I also threw in a little about fitness, just to cover all our bases in this episode. 

We all dream of a better life. Most of us also know that it takes hard work, consistency, and of course some good luck. Many people however believe that they can outsmart the system and take shortcuts. Today, we're gonna talk about what happens when you take those short cuts as well as discuss some tactics about how to use the long game to your advantage. 

Today we're gonna talk about motivation and what your rights are and how more of those actually equal to less responsibility for you but the reverse for other people. You can be great and it's not even as difficult as you might think. 

You know that your mind is responsible for a majority of your conscious thoughts, but it's also responsible for unconscious behavior. What you may think is actually a decision that you came up with on your own, is actually a complicated network of previous beliefs, current emotional state, as well as the environment. The way you think about decisions will dramatically change after this episode. 80

I thought it would be a good idea to talk about running for a bit because I see everyone running now that all the gyms are closed. Today, I'd like to bring it back to the fitness tips today so we're gonna talk about a discovery that I made while running that reinforced something that I already knew about running form. 

In this episode, I talk about the importance of perseverance. Winners lose...A LOT! The key to winning is learning how to lose. We're gonna go a little more in depth into the psychology and tactics of winning as seen from the perspective of my most successful clients in and out of the gym. 

I've got a fun interview for you today. I talked to my guy John Dempsey on his podcast about staying healthy in fitness as well as in business. We talked about having a positive mindset, a few things you can do for exercise at home, and coming out ahead after the quarantine. I think you'll really like this episode. Also, check out John's podcast here . 

Ok so you know that you can have too much of a good thing, but the question is, what's a good thing? Today we're gonna briefly dive into that and talk about what it means in respect to preventing your burnout.

It may seem innocuous at first, but getting off your routine is the start of living a tragically unorganized life where rarely anything happens for you and just about everything seems to happen to you. Today we're going to talk about the effects of living in reactiveness vs. proactiveness. 

Today we're gonna deviate from the hero and bravery talk and give you some practical advice on optimal performance.

Today we're gonna sidestep a little from our hero theme of last week and talk about bravery. We're gonna talk about what it means to be brave and I'll tell you a personal story about a client that overcame their fear and how they did it. I think you'll really enjoy this episode if you've been afraid to try  something new lately. 

We round out the week today culminating our talk about rising from the ashes by talking about what it actually means to be a hero. I went a little deep on this one and brought it back to the roots when I had existential episodes for what I called "Fulfillment Friday." In this one, I referenced some Buddhism as well as western psychologist Carl Jung to emphasize the point that we're not all good in...
