THE RICH MIND PODCAST

INSTAGRAM BLOG: I  know how hoity-toity this might sound, how it sounds like I’m reading  one of those posters in a doctor's office but let me ask you this. When  was the last time you were on your way home from work, and you tried  being present with yourself and the external world? You weren’t thinking  about some stupid shit you did at work or the fact that your in-laws...

INSTAGRAM BLOG: Before I begin, I want to make it clear  that exercise works just as well as antidepressants for SOME people. For  others, it isn’t enough, and they will need medication. That’s not me  saying that; that comes directly from Harvard and multiple studies. As  most of you know, I’m currently on my one-week break away from the gym,  and I thought I was going to...

INSTAGRAM BLOG: As  many of you are aware last week I decided to attempt a deadlift PR of  375lbs. To my amazement, I successfully achieved said PR. It was a huge  milestone as I hadn’t achieved a PR in 2 months. When  it comes to deadlifts, most lifters don’t attempt PRs every week.  Deadlifts are very strenuous and can be taxing on the CNS. This is why  most lifters...

INSTAGRAM BLOG: “How do you workout after work? I’m always exhausted.” I get asked this question all the time! I  feel like it would be the same if I told people I worked out before  work too. When am I supposed to workout then?! Or better yet, if you  can’t workout before or after work, when would you workout? The  best time to workout is going to be when you can be the most c...

Before we begin, I want to start by saying the word difficult that I use in this blog is just an example. Are  there difficult things in life, or have we as a society collectively  deemed certain things as "difficult" without giving those things proper  consideration? Let me give you a baseline. Let’s look at being a  prisoner of war. Okay, I know! We’re starting off heavy here...

INSTAGRAM BLOG: THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE WORKING HARDER THAN YOU In  today’s society the bar has been set higher than ever before. It’s no  surprise that technology is to blame here. Don’t get me wrong, though. I  don’t think this is a bad thing. You can learn anything with  that device you hold in your hands. Whether you put in the work is up to  you. Technology doesn’t aut...

BLOG FROM INSTAGRAM:  It’s  liberating to know that you’ll never be perfect because then you can be  okay with making mistakes and making them often. Don’t settle, though.  Don’t settle for living a mediocre life based on your fear of falling  face-first onto the ground. You’ll fall all the time! Just make sure you  get back up. Most people won’t do this. Why? Because...
