Happy middle of the week, team :D Who has a win they’d like to share from the week?? I successfully rode my first train in Italy and was able to understand some new words in Italian 🙌 Remember, your wins don’t have to be mountains, most of the times our mountains are climbed one little win at a time (so be sure to highlight the little wins, too)!

Hey all, I am currently flying way above everything and thought I would share some insights with you… 1) My greatest fear is flying. Not sure why or how or when it started, but wow, this is easily the toughest thing for me. The lack of control. The sudden gusts of wind. You name it. It all adds up. But I’m doing it anyway. I have dreams of seeing the world. I have people I love who don’t live close to me. I do not want to be limited by my fear. I will absolutely acknowledge it! But then I will absolutely be brave and step toward the future I am creating for myself. So… 2) “How would the secure, calm, brave version of me handle this?” And I repeat that to myself over.. and over.. and over again. I focus on my breathing. I read. Then I play a game. Then I scroll. Then I watch a movie. All the while, repeating the phrases, controlling what I can control, and stepping toward the version of me who is a frequent (and more comfortable) flyer. This is how habits are made, identity is shifted, and progress is created. 3) I can assure you we have all looked up into the sky and seen planes flying far, FAR overhead without considering whether it’s a smooth or bumpy ride, right? So here I am, way up in the air, considering what I may look like from way down below — Can I detach myself enough from the current discomfort to see the larger picture? Can I see the cars below, the buildings inhabiting hundreds of people, looking up and seeing me safely traveling through the air without being so overwhelmed by this nervousness and anxiousness? 4) I share this to encourage you, when you’re IN it, try to sit with it, alongside it, above it, or below it. Life. Will. Happen. It is not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ - There is no stopping it or controlling it. We can be as proactive as possible, but nothing will test you, challenge you, or mold you like life. You have power over your thoughts. You have power over your actions. That’s it. You only have power over you. And even then we aren’t all playing with a full deck of cards, so learn about yourself. Become a scientist for how you ‘tick’. And then decide if this version of you is the same version you want to continue being.

Hey team, I made this easy, at-home mobility circuit with YOU in mind. It's only 10 minutes. It's not super complicated. It doesn't require you to go to a gym or leave your home. Let me know what you think! Best, Coach T

Your brain actually prefers familiar pain over unfamiliar success. And that explains why a lot of people stay stuck. Why people stay in the wrong relationships. Stay in jobs they hate. Why they keep repeating the same patterns. Because the brain’s job isn’t to make you happy. It’s to keep you safe. And what's familiar feels safer than what is unknown. Even if the familiar thing hurts… So sometimes growth doesn't feel comfortable. It feels unfamiliar. Just because the pain is familiar doesn't mean it's where you're meant to stay.

It's a meh of a day for me over here and I wanted to share some thoughts and insights for any of you who may be going through something similar... 1. Slow the moment down. Some days feel long because your mind is simply carrying too much at once. Instead of forcing productivity, pick one small thing you can finish in the next 10 minutes. Momentum often returns once your brain sees progress. And, if completing a task is too much, literally slow. down. Set a timer and focus on your breathing for 5-10 minutes. Think of your thoughts like waves in the ocean coming in and then receding out, or like passing clouds in the sky above. 2. Shrink the goal for the day. When time feels like it’s dragging, big expectations can make it worse. Instead of asking “How do I get through the whole day?” ask “What’s the next small thing I can complete?” One small win often gets things moving again. 3. Change the environment, change the energy. When time feels slow, your brain is stuck in repetition. Shift something simple — move rooms, play music, take a different route, take a shower, brush your teeth, or start a new (completely unrelated) task for 15 minutes. A small change can break the mental loop. Get yourself out of the funk so that you can get back on track. That's what I'm working on today. What do you think about this list?
