The Matter Mentality Podcast

Caloric restriction is often explored by coaches in this industry. Subjects like, 'how we burn extra fat for fuel' and 'how we get lean and keep muscle'. Very few explore the psychology of fat loss and what that entails. In this episode, we look at some of the key responses you will experience psychologically in your journey to being shredded that we think are worth knowing.

Dieting to get lean is a hard enough task as it is. The body hates us for it, our life slips because of it, our mood drops from from it. In this episode, we explore a few of the tricks we employ with clients and myself as my own client to really minimise the pain dieting causes while we're in it. We all suffer it but there's no brownie points for suffering more than necessary!

In this episode, I talk about and explore the in's and outs of imposter syndrome as a potential limitation and positive influence. I have dealt with and battled this very concept for many years and hope this may shed some light on the subject for others just like me. Not to diagnose but open up the conversation!

At 7 weeks out this episode is all about updating our current headspace, business growth and how were moving as a brand. We want to be as transparent on both our training and bodybuilding side as well as the business and what goes on behind a growing service brand. Follow along to learn it all.

Goal setting is a commonly used term that we feel rarely hits the spot. SMART goals have always been the rage when discussing goal striving and setting but we view it differently. In this episode we explore how you may set a more emotionally charged connected goal the way Matter Athletica sets out to do it!

Victimhood has somehow become a badge of honour in 2022. Matter and our governing principles do not look at victimhood as something to be respected or appreciated. One can not claim the victimhood status whilst simultaneously moving forward in life. This episode we explore how I view and encourage ourselves to view our experiences and use them to overcome adversity and set backs.

Obsession is a word used to criticise those who want more and fixate on it. I explore how we wrongly apply the word obsession as a criticism instead of a compliment. How one must become obsessed if they want to reach larger goals and remove the distraction of external variables not aligned with their dream or goals. Obsession is a compliment in the ones who want to change the world.

I explore the sacrifice of what you want now for the potential of a greater reward in the future. Are you willing to take the gamble of short term pleasure for long term success? This is the risk anyone hoping to reach greater feats must accept. Those who cant, are less likely to make it.

Matter Athletica believes in 5 elements of success. We have previously discussed how matter does training and nutrition as a system. In this episode, I explain how I use psychology coaching to assist my clients, how we use education to build competence and knowledge in our ever growing community of like minded driven members!

In this episode, I discusses the current misunderstandings around balance in the field of excellence and performance. Anyone who wishes to excel must accept the trade off of balance or other areas in life to achieve their goals. Balance is also pushed by those who don’t seemingly want to reach high levels.
