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.

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.

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.
Lots of golden nuggets to take away from this episode, enjoy!
In this episode, I share with you five of my favourite Mental Models for Growth
👉 “The Map is not the Territory” The world we think we live in is not always the world we live in
👉 “The Anchoring Bias” Be careful to place too much of your decision-making based on the first piece of information you hear
👉 “The Confirmation Bias” Weight up all evidence when making big decisions; it’s not easy to disagree with your personal biases, but doing so will save you a lot of heartache and regret
👉 “Fundamental Attribution Error” Try and separate someone's behaviour from who they are. Empathy and Kindness Win every time.
👉 “The Curse of Knowledge” Never assume someone knows as much as you. Always try and simply down complex subjects. Doing so will give you a greater understanding of the subject too

I've been obsessed with habits over the past few years and after reading many habit books and practicing different methods I am going to be giving you my 4 C Method for creating habits that STICK!
Choose - Choose what habit you want to improve and focus on developing tiny habits each day
Combine - The best way to keep consistent with a new habit is to combine it with a current one which you do every day
Challenge - Challenge yourself to do the habit for a month and hold yourself accountable to others. If you see a big reward from the habit in the month it will be much easier to stick to
Commit - Commit to yourself that regardless of how you feel you will do the habit every day without fail.

It's important to have mentors in this world for many different things that you are looking to become successful in.
When we mirror the habits of these people we aim to get similar success (after all success leaves clues)
However a lot of the time this can be disheartening or disappointing due to the unrealistic expectations we place on these people.
Dr Chuck Chakrapani breaks down another concept called "What would the Sage do"
He says to create and idealised concept of what you aim to mirror in your life in the hope that you can live up to it.
His sage is incredibly relevant to me and something that I now read daily to keep me on track.

Guess who's back?
My First Podcast episode of 2019 and I hope you enjoy it!
My 10 Things you need to stop doing in order to become successful
- Complaining - When you complain to others you’re basically saying the world revolves around you. It doesn’t!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Blaming others - Blaming others feels good because it removes you of responsibility. Some times you can’t control things that happen to you in life but you can certainly control how you deal with it so start taking full responsibility for everything you do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Wasting your time - I’ll tell you now you waste a lot of time on pointless shit! Find out the things that you can delegate or delete from your life and do something good with it
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Thinking people owe you something - you are rewarded in this world based on the value you personally give to it, not what you take from others
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Being distracted - We are all easily distracted in this world which is why it's so important to nail down strong habits preventing you from doing so.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Hanging around with twats - if you hang around with enough twats you will eventually become one yourself
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Playing it safe - I’ve you’ve never fucked up or failed massively in life so far than it’s probably a sign that you’ve been playing too safe
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Playing small - life is an ocean of opportunities and it’s up to you wether you collect from it with a bucket or a spoon
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Arguing on social media - When you have google and time no one wins an argument on social media so why even bother? Go back and read number 3
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Listening and reading the news - if you want to feed your soul on negativity, turmoil and fear go right ahead and switch it on. I’ll stick to my positive podcasts and books thank you!
