I didn’t mean to leave us silent here, but we’ve been on a mission elsewhere, not too far away. It’s usually about continuing to bolster the foundation of the whole project so we can do more. As we plan for a 2.0 launch here on Skool I thought I’d leave you with somethin that made me… smile. So much has happened over the last few weeks in the world, that’s been hard to smile about. But yet here we are L-I-V-I-N. That’s pretty cool. So this message from Matthew M. was well received. Stay tuned, stay grounded and enjoy 😎

Hey all who are doing the Hot Summer Bod Challenge, just starting with us at Grounded or if you have decided to make a quantum leap in any area of your life! Just wanted to hear you shout out whats good- or give a shout out to somone else you think deserves it! Here are some more great words to absorb, and make your own. From author James Clear... "Mental toughness is often framed as the perseverance that gets you across the finish line: - Find a way to make it happen - Push through the pain - Grind it out to the end But most days, mental toughness isn't about crossing the finish line. It's about getting to the starting line: - Show up when no one is watching - Keep your eye on the ball - Do a little bit every day Mental toughness is not skipping the days that are easy to skip." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wanted to give a Shout Out to one of my favorite newer clients in the gym, Emaly Perez! Emaly has been crushing the resistance in in both her mind, and in the gym. This week she lifted more than she ever thought she could lift. With impressive discipline to just keep showing every appt, 3x weekly she is having breakthroughs every week. Congrats Emaly for working through old habits and thought patterns to find several wins! Keep going!

What should it look like? Here’s some thoughts. We always say “everyone’s different” but that’s not necessarily true in the God scheme of things. We all have a skeleton and nervous system that relies on a healthy muscle structure. We all have a metabolism that relies on a good diet to operate efficiently. We all have a mental state that demands energy, perspective and inspiration to stay positive. So it’s simple you see. Water the flowers and flowers grow. Let them burn out, and they die. No matter what the hell you've got going on this summer, you make a no compromise rule for each of these things. 1. Strength Train 3x/ week. Minimum. Add activity that’s cardio and adventure based. 2. Eat more Protein first, Fat second, Carbs sparingly. Whole Foods first, always. Free range chemical free package free. Drink filtered water, and stay sugar free as possible. 3.Take Nootropics, and other brain food supplements, read subjects you want to more about, ask questions that people that have what you want, hang around people that lift you up. Do things that you know in your heart are positive. Avoid negativity. Hope that helps simplify for you. Don’t make it complicated. Stay Grounded PB
