Working on shifting from: - I’ve got to workout 😫… to I get to workout 💪🏼 - I’ve got to be on a diet 😭… to I get to eat healthy for fat loss and muscle growth 😏 - I’ve got to suffer through the process 🙁 … to I get to enjoy the process 🤩 🙏

Lets break down the key difference between exercising and training—and why one leads to burnout while the other builds beasts. Most guys are just going through the motions. Show up. Sweat a little. Hit some random sets. Then wonder why nothing changes. That’s exercise—and it’s better than doing nothing, but it won’t get you far. But training? That’s a different animal. Training has a target. It’s intentional. It’s a mission. You don’t just "work out"—you work toward something. A goal. A race. A fight. A transformation. I'm gonna share how attaching your fitness to a tangible outcome keeps you locked in, disciplined, and motivated when life punches back. You’ll learn: Why aimless workouts kill consistency How to set performance-based goals that keep you committed The mindset shift from "I need to work out" to "I’m training for war" How training ties into not just Body—but Balance, Business, and Being If you’ve been stuck in a plateau, this episode might be the slap in the face you need to stop "exercising" and start training like your life depends on it—because it does. Fit. Free. America. Head down. Horns up.

As I watched the day 2 videos I found that it all resonated with me. The mirror was the first thing that really hit hard. I don't even need a mirror to bash myself. My lack of confidence in most things gets me in trouble. I will make a concerted effort to kind to myself while being realistic at the same time. The second thing which made me think quite a bit was the statement, people have the same ability to grow. The third thing was the 4 boxes. It reminded me of my relationship with my husband. I have high expectations in general and I struggle when those expectations are not met. I rarely see the part that I have played in situations. With these 4 boxes in mind I will try to have that mindshift and start to put ownership back on myself not the other person involved. -I get to walk. -I get to play with my daughter. -I get to drive 2.5 hours to see my parents. (It's not my parents, it's the drive.)

The quadrant that is the silent killer for me is the Not Important-Not Urgent. These are the time drags and energy sappers when it comes to tasks, and the lost-daylight and late night fill-the-time-gap moments when it comes to the random things that eat up my day. Social media can be a timesuck, and chasing small serotonin rushes from online games or shopping, or even just watching reels and videos to kill time, will remove hours of the day without providing any productive value or energies. From the video, it reminded me that even the small stuff needs to be attended to and scheduled, especially when other more important and pressing things are needing my attention.

*How you choose to approach a situation will affect those around you. *Focus on the upside rather than dwell on the potential downside. *Approach challenges with a growth mindset.
