    Today we are using an Epictetus quote to talk about control. Control is an elusive and fickle thing because the more control we believe we have over our things and situation in life, often means the less control we have. All we can really control are our actions. Somethings we cannot even fully control our thoughts. Look no further to that annoying song many of us get stuck in our heads. The more we try to be in control, the more we open ourselves to disappointment. So today I challenge you to not get caught up trying to be in control, just enjoy the day and focus on your actions and reactions.

    142: We communicate with action

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 20, 2019 17:01


    Today we are focusing on communication. Many of us have heard the old adage, "it's not about what you say, but how you say it." Today we take that idea to its logical conclusion to encompass not only how others actions matter, but our actions to ourselves matter just as much. Often time when we try and live up to what we say, we do not include how and what we promise to ourselves. We focus on doing for others at the sake if doing for ourselves. I would argue that this is a huge oversight. What are your thoughts on the matter? If want wanting a way to make a health change stick, then check out my 31-Day Primal Challenge. There I can help you make a sustainable lifestyle change. For more information checkout: thrivingonfat.com/31DPC --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/onetakestoic/support

    142: Gaining strength with emotions

    Today we talk about strength. We talk about what it is, and what it is not. Strength is not having everything go your way. Strength comes from pushing through pain and obstacles to obtain your goals regardless of life's setbacks. Disappointment will occur, the pain will happen, we may cry and feel strong emotions. However, those emotions are not insurmountable. Feel the emotion, let it wash over you like a stone in a river. Once you have taken the time to feel, use that emotion to fuel your further growth and efforts for positive change in your life. Are you struggling to make a meaningful health change in your life? If you are, that is okay, we all struggle. It's important to note that struggling is not a prerequisite to failure. As we struggle, we must push past that point. When we do, we come out the other side stronger and more resilient than before.  The way we build a healthy lifestyle is first with a strong foundation. Once we build a strong foundation, we can build our healthy lifestyle one good habit brick at a time.

All you have to do is reach for them, and push through failure. Are you ready to start making a change in your health?

    Today we are using a Thomas Paine quote to focus on growing from missteps and smiling in the face of adversity. Throughout our daily struggles, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about what we are going through. In these times, it is important to remember why we are trying to change. While also giving some thought towards other times where we pushed through difficulties. This can help remind us where we need to go while also us see where we have been.

    Today we are focusing upon the the weight that words carry. Regardless of if they are in print, on social media or in between our ears. Our words can be the force keeping us from changing or what is holding us back from taking the next step. Think about that for a second, even the words you say to yourself can keep you for sticking to your goals. The next time you think that you are not good enough think again. Because you are good enough, you are worth it and you can make the difficult choices that need to be made to help you reach your goals.

    Today we are talking about the importance of being mindful while we are taking one step at a time. Since the only moment we have is the one we are taking, we should be mindful of the steps we choose. This does not negate the need for planning, it only illustrates how little was can control. What is behind us cannot be changed, and what is in front of us cannot be run away from. All we can do is prepare to the best of our abilities, give it our all, and hope that is enough.

    Today we take a quote quote from Arnold Schwarzenegger to help us think about growing from failures. We grow most when we are forced to keep on trucking when the odds are stacked against us. Or when our plans need to change to address the new changes that have taken place. Life is about adapting to the constant changing pressure we are put under to become the best version of ourselves.
