What is a Mind, Body, Fitness Coach?

What is a Mind, Body, Fitness Coach?

You might wonder, “What is a mind, body, fitness coach?” What’s up with that? There seem to be coaches for everything these days, from life coach to success coach, to almost anything you can think of…

What a mind, body, fitness coach is, what I do is help people start winning the mental game of fitness. Why is that important?

Everything, all the results you get in your life, everything that you’re experiencing in life, starts with your thoughts, with your mind. If the results that you’re getting—with your health and fitness—are different from what you want, if they are failing to match up with what you want your results to be, then that’s because there’s something in your mind, your thinking, that needs to be changed, to be fine-tuned, adjusted, modified in some way.

For long term health and fitness, you must address your whole mind

What I do is help you get to the point where everything that’s going on in your conscious and unconscious mind matches what you want. When that happens, you can start getting the results that you want!

Your unconscious mind is what’s driving the show. 90% to 95% of everything that you do every day comes from your unconscious mind. Understanding that makes it easy to see that if your unconscious mind isn’t completely aligned with what you want consciously, your results are going to differ from your desires. Simply put, your unconscious mind wins. And that means that regardless of your conscious desires, you get the results that your unconscious mind thinks are best for you.

For clarity, let’s agree that unconscious mind and subconscious mind are the same things. They both refer to all of the thinking that goes on out of your awareness.

If a person has champion thinking, then they’re going to get champion results.

When You Have Champion Thinking, You Will Get Champion Level Results!

Likewise, if a person’s thinking is mediocre, they’re going to get mediocre results.

Change Your Thinking, Change Your Results!

We want to get your thinking where it needs to be for you to get the results that you want with your health and your fitness!

If your health and fitness is currently different from how you want it to be:

  • If you know there’s room for improvement
  • If you know that you could have more energy
  • If you know that you could experience a higher quality of life physically
  • If you know that your productivity could go up and be increased by having more energy, more stamina, more zest for life

Then it means that there is currently something going on in your unconscious mind that is failing to support the goals, the aspirations that you have consciously. And that’s okay because we can get you where you want to be.

That’s what I do. Using behavioral engineering, I get people from where they are to where they want to be by helping them engineer their behaviors and thinking to get the results that they want.

If for any reason, with your health and fitness, you’re failing to get the results that you know you can get and that you want, or even if you’ve had the results you wanted in the past but for some reason you just aren’t motivated anymore or are trapped on that fitness yo-yo, we can fix that. We can help get you to the point where you have the motivation, the desire, the drive necessary for long-term, sustainable health and fitness. We can help you create the mindset necessary to experience long-term, sustainable health and fitness in your life. Once your mind is onboard with the results that you consciously want, you’re going to get those results.

I will help you get the results that you want with your health and your fitness, long-term. When that happens, you can start having the quality of life and the time that comes with that. What happens when our energy is low? It takes us longer to do things. Time is a really valuable resource. When it takes us ten times longer to do things than it should, because we’re lacking the energy and stamina that come from great health and fitness, that’s a lot of wasted time!

You’ll Never Get Back Wasted Time!

When you get your energy dialed in, when you get your health and fitness where it needs to be, and you start taking more control of your time! You start getting more motivation, you start being able to enjoy life more!

When we’re working together, we’ll help you get to the place where you can experience that wonderful quality of life physically, which creates a wonderful quality of life in all areas.

Your body is your temple. Are you taking care of your temple? Are you doing the things that you need to do so that you have a wealth of energy and stamina and productivity and passion and joy in all areas of life?

If your health and fitness and your energy and stamina are things that you could improve, then send me a private message or an email and let’s talk to see what we can do for you.

When to Double Down on Your Health and Fitness

Share

Why You Must Double Down on Your Health and Fitness!

I was taking to a good friend just a few minutes ago about the times when we feel like taking it easy or the times we feel like taking a break. And that reminded me of when I used to do bodyweight exercises all the time because with bodyweight exercise especially, as with all exercises and truly all areas of life, you can workout every day, doing the same exercise, if you want too. The trick is, you adjust your intensity every day. Someone who runs can run every single day. There are days when it makes sense to run harder, to push yourself more and there are days when it makes sense to be easier and have a relaxed, healing kind of a run.

Same thing with working out. There are times when you can blitz the bodypart(s) you’re working and there are times when you can take it easier. I worked legs really hard and have jelly-legs as I record this video. The weak feeling that anyone who works out really hard knows, when you have to grip the handrail for dear life when walking down stairs to keep from falling.

When you feel like taking a break, it's time to double sown on your health and fitness!

After that workout I decided to go have some nature time. I’m out here enjoying this gorgeous scene and I was talking to my friend on the phone and we were talking about how sometimes people say they want to take it easy. Coaching clients will say, “I just need to take a break.”

That’s When You’ve Got to Double Down!

When you feel like you need to take a break, that’s when you’ve got to double down because pushing through the resistance, that’s what’s going to help you bust out to the next level!

Pushing through those times where you’re thinking, “I just really don’t feel like it.” Or, “I don’t want to do it.” Or whatever other excuse your mind throws out at you… Those are the times you’ve got to completely and totally double down on it! Get your butt going where you need to go! Get yourself doing what you need to do! Find a way to push through it!

And pushing through it can be taking it easy in the sense that you are working out more gently than you would otherwise but you’re still there! You’re still showing up!

Showing Up Makes a Massive Difference!

Showing up makes a massive difference because showing up tells your unconscious mind how important it is for you to do what you’re doing!

When you show up on the days when you feel like skipping or during the months that maybe you feel like skipping, when you show up now, more and more during those times, you’re programming your grey matter that that’s a non-negotiable. That you are going to go and do the work. That you’re going to put yourself in the situation. That you’re going to grow your way through it.

The people who are on the fitness yo-yo; those who go until they reach the edge of their comfort zone and then they stop exercising until they reach the bottom of their comfort zone—when they are fed up with their lack of fitness—and then they start getting in shape again… And on and on and on they go, bouncing within the walls of their comfort zone. They are always in that narrow window of growth.

To break through that window, to break through to the other side, to get the true success and the long-term health and fitness, you have got to push yourself to show up on the times when you feel like you want to take a break! Even showing up in a way that’s gentle on your body is still showing up.

Sometimes you just have to remember that doing something smaller is way more important than skipping. If it’s a scheduled day, if it’s a planned day, if you have a workout that you’re supposed to be doing, regardless of the type of workout, if it’s your day to workout and you feel like taking a break… I strongly suggest that you SHOW UP ANYWAY!

How Your Unconscious Mind Controls Your Health and Fitness

Share

Do You Know How Your Unconscious Mind Shapes Your Health and Fitness?

Your unconscious mind is massively important when it comes to what’s going on in your life, especially what’s going on when it comes to your health and fitness. Your unconscious mind is quite literally the storehouse for all the beliefs you’ve ever created, adopted, inherited, etc. throughout your life.

If any of those beliefs fail to serve you, then you’re going to struggle in that area of life. If any of those beliefs are disempowering about your health and fitness, then your results will match your beliefs more than they will ever match your desires.

What do you do about that? How do you get your results to start matching your desires?

You Want Your Results to Match Your Desires? Change Your Beliefs!

The Way You Get Your Results to Start Matching Your Desires is to Change Your Unconscious Beliefs

Your beliefs control your actions. They control your results. Your beliefs control what you see, what you hear, what you think. Two people can walk away from the same situation with vastly different interpretations (or personal meanings about the event). This happens all the time.

For example. I was watching a show once where they were demonstrating how the way a question is phrased influences the belief of the person responding to the question. They set it up by having a car run a stop sign and T-bone another car. They had a police officer there asking the witnesses what they saw happen. The officer asked half of the people, “How fast was the car was going when it slammed into the other car?” The other half of the witnesses were asked, “What speed was the car going when it hit the parked car?”

The people who were asked how fast the car was going when it slammed into the other car, gave answers that were 10 to 15 mph higher than the other group because the words “Fast” and “Slammed” influenced their unconscious minds to believe the car was traveling at a higher rate of speed. While the question, “What speed was the car traveling when it hit the parked car?” was more neutral and let them more fairly judge what speed the car was traveling.

That’s the same type of thing you’ll get when your beliefs match up with what your desires are, you’ll get results that match what you want because you’ll believe it’s possible and your unconscious mind will work to make your beliefs match your reality. When your beliefs are different than your desires, then your results are going to be different than what you want.

In the book, “The Ten Seeds of Greatness.” By Denis Waitley, there is a section that talks about the power of the mind. They hypnotized some very strong men—weightlifters, powerlifters, etc.—and they gave them the suggestion that a book, that was lying on the floor, weighed 5lbs more than the maximum each man could lift. When the men were brought out of hypnosis, they tried and tried to lift the book but couldn’t pick it up. They also measured the muscle contractions and found that the opposing muscle groups were resisting the attempts to lift the book with about 5lbs more force than the muscles being used to try to lift the book.

That’s an example of the unconscious mind making a belief reality.

So, if your unconscious mind believes that you are healthy and fit, then your unconscious mind will help you create the long term results necessary to experience health and fitness in your life!

When your unconscious minds believes that you are healthy and fit, it will work to make it reality!

If your unconscious mind believes otherwise…that’s when the other results come in. And if you wonder what your unconscious mind currently believes, just look at the results you’re getting. Are you becoming healthier and more fit every day or are you either stagnate or worse, sliding the other way?

If you’re currently getting results that are less than what you want with your health and fitness, it’s because some belief in your unconscious mind is counter to what you’re working to accomplish.

How do You Change The Beliefs That are Failing to Serve You?

You can start by taking about 10 minutes before you go to sleep at night and visualize yourself with the health and fitness that you want. Visualize it as if it is already true. Allow yourself to feel how wonderful it feels to have that level of health and fitness in your life. Allow yourself to play out a scene where you play out all of the wonderful things that come from having that degree of health and fitness.

As you do this more and more, your unconscious mind will start to believe that this is what’s going on and it will start doing everything in its considerable power to bring those results to pass.

Starting today, figure out where you want to be and as you’re drifting off to sleep, paint that perfect picture, that vision in your mind, as you’re drifting off, of what it’s like to have the health, the fitness, the results that you want and to have them now. Start doing this, every night as you’re drifting off to sleep. Make sure you’re thinking in totally positive terms, as you’re feeling it, experiencing it, playing it out in your mind as if it is already true now.

Do this for 30 days and watch what happens!

How to Push Yourself Harder When Working Out

How to Push Yourself Harder While Working Out

I want to share a secret with you that will help you get more out of yourself when you’re working out or exercising.

You know what it’s like when you’re going along and you hit the wall, where you feel like you can’t do anymore? Maybe you feel like your pump is too much to push out one more rep or you’re just too tired to push yourself through and go that extra mile while you’re hiking or jogging?

You know what it's like when you're going along and you hit that wall?

That’s a tough place to be. You know the results you want are on the other side of the discomfort or pain that you’re feeling and at the same time it can be very hard to push through pain or discomfort, even when you know what you want is on the other side.

When or if you find yourself wanting to quit and you know you must continue to get the results you want, here’s a secret you can use starting today to push yourself harder and get even more from your workouts and exercise.

Imagine That You Float Out of Your Body and Up Above Yourself, So You Are Watching Yourself do the Exercise.

What’s that like and why does it work?

Allowing your awareness to float out of your body and up above yourself in the air, while you watch yourself do those last couple of reps or push through that last mile, is called dissociation. It allows you to get away from the physical discomforts that are going on in your body. By getting away from those discomforts, you’ll find that you can push yourself harder than you thought you could push yourself. And as you know, being able to push yourself harder is what allows you to get the growth you want.

Float your awareness out of your body

If all you ever do is go to where it’s uncomfortable or where it starts to be uncomfortable and then stop, then you’re cheating yourself out of maximal growth—that’s on the other side—because you’ve trained yourself to stop when it gets tough. Stopping when it gets tough is a great path to mediocrity! You’re better than that!

You’ve Got to Push Through the Discomfort!

You’ve got to push through the pain!

You’ve got to get yourself to a point where you’re growing beyond what you used to hold yourself accountable for or capable of!

So next time you’re exercising or working out and you find yourself in a situation where you’re just not sure whether you can push out that next rep or push yourself through to go the extra distance that you know you really want to go, try that trick! Allow your awareness to float out of your body, up above yourself, and look down and imagine that you’re watching yourself do the exercise or do the reps.

Give this a shot and let me know how well it works for you.
