Which one should you actually do? This is a nuanced topic and requires the fundamental understanding that both mindfulness and automation are simply tools and both can benefit different people and different situations.

Improving your health and fitness can be scary and it’s easy to get stuck. Avoid these 4 traps when making an effort to change and imagining a different future for yourself.

What happened to the guys I worked with once I let this limiting belief go?

Take action even when circumstances aren’t ideal.

I almost spilt petrol on my feet when I heard it.

If you were to use even 50% of the information in my free e-books, you’d never have to worry about your next diet, training modality, or recovery day ever again.

Forgoing critical thinking is a double edge sword, and it swings both ways.

Accepting where you are is not the same as resigning or giving up. Acceptance is recognition. Before any change, if you can get to a point of recognition and acceptance, you will have a better chance of being able to move forward.

People tend to be consistent at starting again. Imagine the results if they were as consistent at keeping going.

How people form their opinions and beliefs about diets typically comes from 1 of these 2 routes

Food and in particular restaurant food is a “culinary experience”. It’s a huge part of enjoying your life, and simultaneously, if food is always an experience, then it becomes the norm and by default is no longer an experience.

The words we use matter and communication with ourselves is arguably more important than how we talk to others. Positive affirmation, self-talk, and growth mindsets set the stage for concrete habits and resilient behavior change.
