Welcome to a special episode of "Mindset with Muscle"!

This week I celebrate my 38th trip around the sun

We will delve deep into 38 unique insights accumulated over the years, which have shaped my outlook and strengthened my mindset.

This episode is a testament to the belief that discipline, like a muscle, needs daily exercise. It celebrates the humbling experience of Jiu Jitsu and embraces the joys of moderation, whether it's wine, beer, or your chosen form of escapism. We'll talk about the transformative power of cold plunges and mindfulness, and the significance of stretching beyond the physical realm into the mental.

Join us as we navigate through real-life lessons on managing overwhelm, the importance of authenticity, and the power of participation. We'll discuss the art of making friends, the role of personal standards, and the need to embody the traits you seek in others.

In this episode, we debunk the fallacy of external validation and spotlight the power of actions over words. We'll share the usefulness of writing things down and debunk the myth of perfect control over life. The episode also underscores the importance of seeking discomfort, the calming effect of daily breathwork, and the influence of the company you keep.

This birthday episode is not just a celebration of age but a celebration of life's lessons, personal growth, and the wisdom that comes with the passing years. This episode has everything from appreciating what you have, wearing confidence, and making sacrifices to valuing a good night's sleep!

So tune in as we explore the dance between control and feelings, the physical versus the digital, and discuss why the most profound knowledge demands your attention. This is "Mindset with Muscle" - real, raw, and ready to challenge you to think deeper, push harder, and rise higher.

In this brand new mindset with muscle episode I dive into 4 things I've been thinking about this week

👉 Expose Yourself - If you avoid things you’re fearful of you’ll be more fearful of them. To get over this you need to expose yourself often to the thought and feeling.

👉 Boiling a Frog - Don’t get comfortable in an uncomfortable environment as the longer you spend there, the harder it is to leave.

👉 If We Were Wise - The antidote to perfectionism is to realise how imperfect we really are

👉 Negative Visualisation - Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Visualise often a life without the things you love and you’ll appreciate having them more.

This episode is from an epic live stream I did last week on Instagram.
