The Mitchell Show: Recent Episodes
Mitchell van Poelgeest
Hi everyone! Welcome to The Mitchell show. Here, you'll finds daily talks where i share my thoughts, insights and mindset. Often i'll talk about diet and workout routines, as I am obsessed with maintaining a great physique year round.
Hope you like it. Cheers!
Let me know what you think, i'd love to connect with you, as i hope my services serves you some value!
Please don't be confined in your prison cell. This is the time to be even more active and change the narrative. Have you googled what the 'definition' of a lockdown is?
What if you just made a simple, effortless choice to NOT be something anymore? To NOT be an alcoholic, to NOT be a smoker.
Is your 2021 going to be different and better then your 2020? Think about it this way: you could work your daily job with intention toward an independent life. One where you make enough income with your side projects, so you can quit your regular job. You could save more money, you could live cheaper and save more.
After having a good conversation with an 18 yr kid about cultures and how people across the world tend to differentiate in mentality in it while working yesterday, i realized the complexity of how people actually live their lives. Now i understand why suicidal rates are so high in Japan.
When it comes to choosing a person to guide or coach you along the way to your set goals, be critical and thoughtful. What you want to look for in a coach is knowledge, experience and expertise. The last one is referred to having deep knowledge in only one topic, instead of a little about everything.
There is so much more for us to know and learn. We are not done. Do not forget, you're an athlete. dress up, because today, it might just happen.
Are you afraid of going to the gym? do you have a feeling of fear or shame when you anticipate going to the gym? Don't be. Working out in the gym is a selfish process by nature. Everybody has to focus on themselves in the gym. That is the default environment. So just do your thing there. Take incremental steps moving forward. I would friendly suggest you to take baby steps that will bring you closer to your desired obtainment. Go to the gym to drink coffee, then go back home. Next time, research the utility of one machine. Watch youtube video's about it, then execute that one exercise. Then do two machines, etc. You can do it. Have an enjoyable listen! I hope it's desirable for the ears.
The 'second wave' of the pandemic, as the politics call it, is going to be worse then the first 'wave'. The next 5 weeks we find ourselves in the unknown again, as the new 'lockdown' has been introduced to us yesterday, december 14th 2020. Being unnable (again) to attend the gym and thus not able to have a release for our energy and tension in a physical way, could create conflict with ourselves and others. Please keep prioritizing your own safety above all else, as i already see people losing their temper more quickly on the streets. My approach on the next 5 weeks is to look at it in a reational way and addressing what is essential to maintain muscle mass and an overall good mood. I'll keep my diet mostly high potein, high fat, and i only eat carbs when necessary. I'll keep my body fit by doing exercise and specifying my health-related goals focussing on weak body parts and overall narrowing my focus more intensely so that i'll come back stronger. I recommend everyone doing something similiar. This talk is meant as a positive motivator for all of you and myself. I hope you'll gain some insights that help you stay in shape and binge-eat. REMEMBER: the more fat mass you gain = the lower testosteron production = overall decrease and loss of muscle mass.
How ambitious are you? How specifically skilled do you want yourself to be? You are never too old. I have this mindset of staying emotionally neutral. Act neutral. Delay your emotions @georgebruno. Dont overreact to yo life, you need your precious energy for the future, because the future is going to always be 10x better when you know what your energy is worth for. What actions do you take to be a little uncomfortable?
I am not a consiparcy theorist. BUT i do believe that they are trying to pull our attention. And with 'they' i mean, the overwhelming lovely smell of the supermarket bakery as soon you take a step inside, that makes you think: 'damn, i could eat 1 croissant today' even though, you were not planning on buying a croissant today. The television with their fast emotional provoking language. I mean, for real, what should we really be focussing on? On ourselves or the politics on tv?
The breed of men who were being raised by primarily women and thus shaming their masculanity because 'being dominant' is a bad trait.
Jordan b. Peterson and his book 12 rules of life. In this episode i explain which rule made the most impact on me personally and how it prevents lots of stress in my own day to day life.
Irrationality & rationality. What i learned about reading '48 laws of human nature' written by the author Robert Greene. Keep an eye out for irrational people. As they are emotional reactive in general, they tend to make others around them more anxious. Be more rational. Look at people their past patterns, their achievements and specific competence instead of their 'charm' or 'appealing personality. Never take a person just as he/she looks like from the front. Also, be a listener instead of a talker.
What would you feel like if you genuinely grew up with the mindset of abundance? the fact your chance of living here is 4 trillion to 1?
Talking about language, social circles and some of my fitness insights. Also just some other thoughts. How could i add more value to your day? I would love to hear! Take a listen.
Short one today. Sharing a thought about what to do if you want to be a lean athlete. That was all for today.
In todays podcast I'm talking about moving the body, the 80/20 diet rule (that i apply in my own diet schedule) and language learning. Some credits to Costa Coffee España for providing me my daily coffee!
Ever considered learning a new language? Listen to this podcast, where i talk about my experience on doing a language course in Spain! I hope you like it.
Today I am talking about my time in Spain, while doing a language course. And how my daily routines looked like back then to master the spanish language. There are some empty spaces during the podcast, so feel free to just fast forward to the parts where I am talking. Let me know what you think!
Some snippets of todays walk. A little chaotic order, but dont worry, i'll improve myself over time!
Dropped some thoughts about not victimizing myself and what to do to keep growing and keep intentionally put in effort every day to focus on the outside world instead of on your own inadequacies. FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL AND KEEP EDUCATING YOURSELF INSTEAD OF VICTIMIZING YOURSELF.
In de korte podcast praat ik over het doen van een high carb day en waarom ik denk dat het belangrijk is in relatie tot het verzadigingshormoon leptine.
Luister naar de tweede aflevering van de lifestyle podcast! Dit is de eerste keer dat ik mijzelf voorbereid naar het zijn van fotoshoot ready. Mijn lichaam verliest sneller vetmassa dan ik gedacht had..
Ik ben Mitchell van Poelgeest, recentelijk sport & bewegingscoordinator gestudeerd, maar niet afgemaakt. Voor mijn doelen voegt het diploma niveau 4 voor mij weinig waarde toe, als ik kijk naar mijn ambitie die ik wil volbrengen. Ik ben zelf van mening dat een goed netwerk en vertrouwen kunnen opbouwen mij verder gaan helpen door het simpelweg 'tonen' dat ik keurig een opleiding heb afgerond. Desondanks super veel geleerd tijdens deze opleiding. Dit heeft mij namelijk geholpen een sterke basis als leefstijl coach aan te leggen.
In deze podcast brainstormen we over een bergplaats waarin interne zelfontwikkeling en groei centraal staat. Waar men het zaadje kan leggen voor zelfontwikkeling
