He is also the best-selling author, Unleash The Ultimate You; Change Your Mindset, Change Your Body as well as coauthor a Flashpoint, Your Turnaround Story. We did a Facebook live the other night together, and that was exercising my uncertainty muscle, but we got some really nice comments that really made my week. So I'm so happy to spend some more time with you today, Gordon. Welcome to The Vitality Feed. Thank you. Thank you for having me on. I'm so excited to be on today. Alrighty, I'm ready. You said you had these questions for me. I'm like this high energy today. We got to two personal fitness people here. Um, so tell everybody how, first of all, how you got in the whole fitness. Okay, so I got the fitness arena at a very, very young age at the age of 13 years old. And prior to that, before I started training what I was into was comic books, toys, the Incredible Hulk. And I remember having a little toy, Incredible Hulk, and I remember watching you on TV and watch all the superheroes. And I just wanted to be like that. Right. It was something like that. I don't know if, as a boys and boys, we tend to gravitate more towards a, you see guys with muscles and you want to be built like that. And I just remember thinking, uh, yeah, this is really cool. I want to definitely be, built like that some day. I want to be athletic and my brother brought home this weights. When I was 13 years old, that's how I got into it. He was working out and he was pretty built. So I remember one day I sat on that bench and I did my first bench press. It was a good form at all. It's absolutely horrible, but I fell in love with it. Like the Cold feel around my hands. And I remember, I think I benched they were like 95 pounds. Yeah. I jumped up. I was outside. So there for 13 I'm 46 years old. Now I've been working out ever since. I mean, I had some many breaks here and there. That's how I got into the health and fitness industry. That is such an awesome story. I can understand falling in love with that. I love weights myself and I think it's where it's at and it makes the most sense. What is your three favorite exercises. It used to be the bench press. The bench press was one of my favorite exercises. I compete it in bench, press competitions. I'll take for a first, all natural and a competition, I was 18. Maybe I was made at 19 years old and it's a bench press would be one of them. And even though I don't do them that often, I like I do like the squat. It does, but I don't do anymore because I have herniated disc degenerative disc disease from playing sports and lifting heavy weights and doing things. And now I teach everybody to do things the right way. So squatting is really good and you know, pull-ups to. Pull ups for another good exercise too, for the back, if you're even looking at the lats, I used to do a lot of rows. I like the basic compound movements a lot. So what do you actually went to my three favorite are? I don't think I have like favorites. I have things that I gravitate towards depending what I'm working out that day. Sometimes it's high reps. Sometimes it's low rep and I stay away for injury the best I can by varying it up and doing things that rest times all that. So believe that I was just speaking to someone the other day we were talking, she owned some gyms as well as a personal trainer and a chiropractor, and we're discussing about variety. It's so important to vary things up and constantly stress your body in different ways. Don't get set in such a regimented discipline that you're always stressing the same thing. And I love the all natural word, my ears perked up when you said that. So what's your favorite framework for macros? I'm assuming that you count your macro. Yeah, I count macros. I've been doing that forever. I've been doing this since somebody's kid. I literally used to have a book that looked something like this, and I would just write down my macros every single day. Right. Every single day. And as we advanced, we have this, but by my fitness pals, what I use now, so I had it sitting here and I actually opened it up just as you were talking about it. So I have all my macros on there. Um, it depends what I feel like doing from gaining weight. I'll add more carbs in, if I'm trying to lose weight, then I'll lower the carbohydrates, but I don't go crazy. It's not super like right think, low carbs need to be the answer, it's not. I am, I like a 40, 30, 30 diet or 40, 40, 20. What that means is 40% of my diet will cover protein, 30% carbs and 30% from fat or 40, 40, 20. Protein 40 carbs, 20% fat. I like that ratio breakdown really nice and works really nice me. And, so you're a man, so, that's probably good for men. Does it change for women? And it's it change for age though? It doesn't change for women. I don't think people think that a lot. And they think that you have to eat differently for a woman to man. Now there's no differences where human beings, the only thing, the only thing that does change, you know, do raise the question, but the amount of protein you need for the amount of muscle that you have, and that equates for men or women. So it doesn't change. All it does is you find out how much muscle that person has by taking their body fat. And then when you take the body fat. Then you can find out where your, how much muscle best they have when you find out their muscle mass. And then you can find out how many grams of protein they need to eat. According to that for the muscle mass. That makes sense. So, it's depends on how lean you are is what you need to consume. Not necessarily gender, because you can get a man out of shape and a woman like with a 10% body fat and that's going to be vastly did. Yeah. When you first start out, you actually went men and women. When they first started looking at ways to add more protein, unless you actually, as you get more advanced, you have a propensity to not need as much, you don't need as much protein intake. Believe it or not. It's like approach you when you first start working out. That again, it all depends on age. Like you said, as you get older, you do want to add more protein in there. So you can get that anabolic effect that you were looking for to build muscle.You got age to age. A lot of people think age is such a factor where I had this question the other day. You might like this one, somebody goes, oh, once you hit a certain age that you kept a muscle anymore. I said that is total BS. Yes. And your metabolism slows down. I read this article. I was like stopped reading these articles, like Dr. Google out there, don't do it. I said, no, you keep it muscle at any age. Yes. Does it declined slightly, yet declined and a little bit, a little bit, a little bit, but you still build muscle, right? Don't use that as an excuse to not work out. That's that's what people do for you could so build muscle through your mid eighties, like severe muscle. I've seen guys where if you kind of covered up their head, like you looked at their body, you're like, holy crap they look like they could be 50 and they're like 80 and it's amazing. So it's a wicked. And women too. There's a lot of women out there that are, you know, really high up there. And the number 78, I wrote about a woman. I can't remember her name. She started bodybuilding like in her fifties, like she's never even entered a gym, never done it in a life and then went to compete and she's like killing it.So I think it's great. You know, you have the time when you get older compared to a lot of times when you're younger, so it's never too late to change. That's always my theory. Oh a hundred percent. I totally agree with that. So talking about the macros, what about your top three food choices for trying to stay lean and fit? I just asked you what I like for, for staying lean and fit there's up. You know, it's not like I do like eggs , I don't eat too many of them anymore because I noticed that to get a little gassier on them. I do like protein shakes , salmon's one of the big staple. I was a big oatmeal person for the, I haven't believed as much I do the cycles. Right now, the high fiber mission reps. So it's funny you brought up something that I want to touch base on. And you touched it's something about, you said something that you don't like refined, processed sugars and carbs. Do you ever hear? I I F Y M, if it fits in your macros, it's a, it's an acronym, do I hear that? Yeah. So basically you, can you allow yourself a little wiggle room to have something else fit within your macros? Okay. So, if you want to have a little bit of Spanish rice at the end of the night, and you had 30 grams of carbs leftover, you can have, you can have that Spanish rice at the end of the night, and you'll still lean out. I've trained people to get ready for shows where they were. It gives them a little room because there's people out there let's let's face it. They're not, they don't want to be that strict. We're also what'll happen. What'll happen is we'll go right back the other way. So what I do is I allow a little bit of wiggle room for my clients and I do it myself sometimes to a slice of pizza here or there. I had this conversation yesterday with someone I'm coaching that once in a while, you have to go to that thing that you really want, not every day, you know, I don't think shepherd cheat thing every single day, but maybe once a week you have something, but because, some people just like start undermining all of their work that they've done for the whole week. They can do that like almost an a meal. Yeah, I think, in general I try to stay away from the white, anything. Like the refined carbs and all that. Once in a while, in fact, just this morning, I made, lemon, blueberry muffins. I made them gluten free with almond flour and with Cassava flour, which is the bomb to bake with. Cause I used to be a professional baker and it's really hard when you know how to bake well, and then you have to go gluten-free. But I made myself that treat this morning and I don't usually do carbs at breakfast, but I did today. So, uh, yeah, do that. Otherwise you get that deprivation mindset and then you go hog wild, you know, I agree. I agree. You ever cook with oatmeal and sweet potatoes. I used to make like little cakes out of it. When I competed in bodybuilding too, I did three shows, I got took first and second at them. And yeah. So yeah, it was big contrast the trophies out there. So I sick, there's a oatmeal and, I would use sweet potatoes and I would blend it all up and I'll pull up protein powder. I would macro it out. And when I competed the reason I brought it up, I would have perfectly everything mixed and matched up, so that was like my treat. I was using some Stevie. I don't like the taste Stevia has and the funny taste. So I don't really eat that many sweet stuff. I'll be honest with you. I'm more of a savory salty person. Yeah. I get in my I used Monkfruit this morning. But for years, I used so much canola oil and like vegetable oil, so bad for you, but I just threw organic butter in there this morning and it was lovely. Purely self is question. I know that your glutes are a great thing to exercise because they have that long burn afterwards. Um, they're the biggest muscle, right? So what is your favorite glute exercise? Squats, goblet squats. I love it. That's actually my, I just want to replace regular squats with, I hurt my back. I do a lot more goblet squats, and then you go pretty heavy on those things. The only thing you have to while it's just resting in your hand, you're really taking a lot of weight. I like Calvin squats, but you got to go deep because that's where you really activate the glute muscle. And one of my all time favorites is a Bulgarian split squat. When I do it, I have a bar and I put a paddle, the bar and I hooked my ankle over it so I'm not putting my toe on it. At least a lot of people at the gym do it where the toes on the bench. I like that. So I, I. I have it where I fabricate this piece of equipment and I just put the paddle on it and then my ankle sits over nicely. That way I'm not wobbling ankle, just enough. I'm not pulling any weight on that, really. So, my knee is a password, my toe. And as I go down, I really pushed to my heel, push through the glute, squeeze it. When I do that, I feel the activation. I'm not like, you know, full by self with hot air, but I have a pretty, pretty good glutes. That's so great. Stand up, turn around. Let's get on the Facebook feed. I do have a question with the Bulgarian split squats, your back foot raised. I would say maybe they'll write about me and my brother. You do that. And I have, I have some wooden boxes in my gym, and I used a smaller one for just that. Uh, so I'm glad to hear that. That's one of your favorite. So now I know to do more of those. Yeah. They're great. Over reverse lunges, reverse lunges. Another little one too. That's a single life. Single leg reverse lung though. I liked that they do one leg at a time. And take a rest under the other leg. I like walking lunges the only thing is a lot of pressure on the patella tendon. And if they're good, it's got to be really careful. It gives them sparingly, maybe every third workout or fourth. You said, you had a bad back. I have had back surgery, but they didn't correct the disks. They just but I call clean up the shrapnel I have nerve damage and I was losing sensation from my hip to my foot, if I didn't get surgery, I was going to lose the whole feeling of my leg. And the hardest part about that surgery was not exercising. I hate it. , but I walked like a banshee, I think they made me do it for like nine months. Was excruciating, but now I lift and I don't go crazy. But I can do clean and presses and kettlebells. I don't do a lot of that, but I'm very cognizant about my position, but it amazes me my range of motion and I do 20 pound dumbbells and I'll do a 40 pound kettlebell, but it amazes me how my back does not hurt like whatsoever. Awesome exercise is really good for that. You know, it's, it's a double-edged sword. You get hurt yourself doing it, which I did. And then you can heal yourself with it. Right? So I say, heal yourself with it. Be mindful of it. My repetitions are a lot different. My range of motion, my speed and my reps are a lot different. Now. I don't, I'm not real faster or balistic. I like tempo training a lot. I don't know if you know what tempo training is? So tempo training is when you'll do like a 3, 2, 1, count that, pause that two one so for instance, let's take the bench press with dumbbells, to one pause that's one to one, pause one, three. And you don't like that and you can't use this heaviest weight. It's a great way to use a weight that you don't become heavy for you with a lot less weight and BFR trains and other one tool. Can you dive into that... I love that. I'm a big fan of Mindvalley and I watched this really cool segment that they did with the owner of Mindvalley with his dad who was like in his eighties and they did weights with him and basically they were preaching heavy and slow and like he's ability and strength, like in a very short time was crazy. A lot of times you get to the gym and you see these guys, bam, bam, bam. They slamming these and it drives me nuts. I'm like, that's not the way they do it. Plus you're going to injure yourself and then really screw yourself up. But I loved that idea. That 3, 2, 1. So the first exercise you do into a count of three, the second exercise you do to do a count of two. And then the last one you do to counter. Well, well, no, it's just, it's like, as you're doing it, the negative is the, is this the long part? So if you're doing a bench press it's 3, 2, 1, pause, one at what? The one's a pause. And then here, two, one, the pause from one, the negative is slower to the positive, the concentric. It's a little more ballistic, but not in the way where you're just throwing it up there. Just a little faster. That's tempo training. And that's really good for people who have injuries, higher reps, tempo training. Another one, I really liked a lot is BFR training, blood flow restriction. Have you ever heard of. I have I had tied off at the tourniquet at the highest point, either. You're doing your leg, you're tying it off here or here to get you I'll use like a knee wrap. And I wrapped them around the highest part of the appendages. And what is it about a seven out of 10 tightness? You don't want it too tight. You don't want it to loop. So what that does is it creates you can use less lot less weight. I've actually had my brother dokes. He heard it. He just recently heard his shoulder and I should do a BFR training. And you just use dumbbells. And what that does is it stops, it traps the blood, the blood in your muscle, the venous return that goes back to. It creates a metabolic damage, which builds muscle at a lot less weight. So you can only, you only need to use like 20 to 30% of what you normally do. A weight with weight wise. And the first set you do for 30 reps, you take 32nd arrests. The next three steps you do 15 to 20 reps, 30 seconds rest between each one. So you do four sets total. First, one 30 at the last, the last three are 15, 15 to 20 and only 30 second rests. I'm telling you. It is insane, really hard because you wanted to stop, but I only go from one exercise. You only need it for one exercise you can do at the edge of the beginning, the middle pick this pick one exercise. That is really cool. Tell me about a couple of success stories. I have one client who was over 380 pounds down to 215 pounds. Wow. I had one client, she was 185 pounds. She had a baby. She at her wits end and she came to the gym just to work out. And then she had a complimentary session with me at the time when I used to work in corporate and she came up to me and we sat down and we worked out and she goes, I have to go home and think about it. Now, usually when that happens, 99.9% of the time when people say that they're not coming back, they're not coming back. Oh, I got to talk to my husband or whatever. It's total BS. Right. So she called. I was at a friend's house. I remember the phone call and she called me and we started training. Now she had hypertension, she was hyperglycemic, she had a slew of problems, she had all problems back problems. You name it. She's with me now, 15 years later and yes, for sure. 135 by a hundred. I mean, she doesn't have a lot of weights on him, but we don't worry about weight anymore. She goes to a holistic doctor. She totally changed her diet around. You think you're strict, you probably are just as strict as her. You guys would probably be able to talk to each other for hours and eat anything with gluten in it. she dove intothe lectins and how elected is called. We have, we have conversations and conversations and now she's teaching me stuff. Oh my God. Wow. Uh, it's our client even see for 15 by that, that speaks volumes. That's crazy a hundred, like in the low hundreds, compared to what she was and said, just how gratifying is that to know you help somebody get past all those labels, medical stuff. That's just amazing. Right. And do what the funny thing is, it's not about losing the weight because there's some people that lose just a day lose maybe like 20, 30 pounds, and it's considered a bigger, right. That doesn't matter. They're exercising. I used to do cardio to lose weight or stay lean but now I do it to feel good and helps by dopamine levels by testosterone levels. What was, I'm not overdoing it either. So I used to overdo it. I used to work out six days a week, three times a day because I read the whole method called the Bulgarian method worked really well when I was younger, started trying to tax me, wait till I'm older. Now it's way different. Now I traded a system that that's built out for people to optimize their time in the gym to get exactly the same results as somebody spends every single day. And in three times a week and three times. I do it three times a week. That's how I don't work. Holy crap. All right. Show me your bicep. We should make a three X on your bicep and then "week" on the other one. Like that, that won't stop people from scrolling and checking Garage Fitness out, I don't know what would. tell us more, I know you have an upcoming summit, cause I'm in it and I heard that you have some great speakers it's a personal training summit. It's basically what it is. That's not a space. It's going to be intense. It's going to be awesome. It's a three-day summit and I'm hitting 30, getting gathering 30 speakers entrepreneurs that are going to help out personal trainers, build their business up. Get more clients, leads, clarity which is really, really key and much more. And what we're doing is I'm getting people from all walks of life that are entrepreneurs, not just personal trainers of people in the fitness industry. Yes, I do have that. I do have those people, but at the same time, I also have people that are real estate people are and just to get their nuggets of how they, how they did it and what I'm really find out. And you probably already know this is that the mindset is everything. . If you get anybody successful, put them in another business, they'll be successful in that business too. That's what, that's what I'm teaching them. That is my avatar. And that's the exact verbatim concept that I'm doing is you find somebody successful in their business and you can take that success and you can put it into their health. That's what I'm trying to do, trying to make people healthy, who kind of just ignored that discipline for a while, but who had the discipline? yeah. So I'm going to teach trainers to do that. And on top of it, that I'm licensing Garage Fitness, I'm coming up with a program. So the summit meeting is a gateway to my programs to teach other people to do exactly what I did out of my backyard. I open up a gym called Garage Fitness as we were just talking about eight years ago because I didn't want to work for corporate anymore. They cut my pay and a third, uh, I, I just bought a house, right? LA fitness, bought out Bally Total Fitness. I work for Bally Total Fitness for 10 years. LA fitness bought it. When I was coming back from vacation, and I can all these messages from my PT directors. Cause we have PT directors back then that would get him in the clients and oversee all the trainers. So I come back, I see on my phone and the lights up because you're in airplane mode and I land and I see. Oh, LA fitness bought them out. I said, okay, I guess I work LA Fitness now. Oh, by the way, I was on the contract buying a house that week, great timing. Oh, raising a daughter. Oh my Gosh. Yeah. Yeah. So what I ended up doing was working for a year and then I worked at my brother's garage on the side part-time training. So what happened was they laid me off. Because they wanted a different certification. I had a decent certification and NASM certification at the time. I've bunch of certifications over the years. ACE American Counselor Exercise. Says good one. Yeah, that was my first one. So what happened was they laid me off and I went right into my business. We modeled my garage. I was living my brother for about a year when I was remodeled, put 30 grand into my garage and my backyard right out there. For the last eight years, it's earned me over six figures, six figures plus, now I want to do is teach other trainers, do exactly what I do know, little to no overhead and walk out of the backyard. They can walk 10, 15 feet like my commute is like 5 seconds or so maybe what, like five seconds or so almost pajama worthy. Right, right. my Jeans on and I had this shirt on and my client says, you're out of uniform. What are you doing? I have to wear my sweats at all. What a great way to go to work. That's awesome. So what's the dates for your summit. We're holding it at the end of November, November. Yeah. We don't know. We're going to look at the exact same black dates instead of make them up, but we're getting all the speakers are gathering now and I'm interviewing each and every one of them. And then we're going to put them all together as prerecorded, and then it's going to go right. Live on that. The summits can be three-day live, it's free for the first three days. So get on it if you want to watch. That sounds lovely. I can't wait to be a part of that. I'm so excited. tell our listeners where they can find you on social media. You can find me just search up garage fitness. You can look at me up on IG garage fit underscore one. The number one. Okay. So it's garage fit. G A R A G E F I T underscore the number one. That's my Instagram. You can look me up at Gordon Brodecki. That's my name. There's not too many of them out there. Also the, if you want to look at my book, you can look up Unleash, The Ultimate You; Change Your Mindset, Change Your Body on Amazon. You can get all Amazon that puts on there and you can, and you can also call me too or text me. And I do scream my phone call. So if you want to leave a message, you can leave a message or a text. So my number is 2 6 7- 3 2 2- 1 0 1 1. I'll put all that in the show notes so people can get ahold of you and such a variety of ways to work out too. And I love that and I love that you are big into diversity and you got the natural word, which just makes me so happy. Just cause I'm just all about that. The big tough weighty question here. If you could eliminate one thing in this world, Gordon, what would it be and why? Okay. If I can eliminate one thing in this world, and it's actually gives me goosebumps, just even thinking about and talking about it's addiction addiction. I had a brother who died from a heroin overdose when I was 18 years old. I came home. Um, me and my brother were out and we saw these cars. We thought it was my mom because my mom's real sick at the time. And we walked into my, um, cousin both up to me and said, I didn't know what was going on. And she had said your brother died. And I knew right then and there that it was, I knew it was drugs. Addiction is crazy. Cause you can be addicted to a lot of different things today. You know, like years ago, addiction was. Right, right. I totally agree. Right. So addiction spikes this crazy amount of dopamine. Now we do need that to get us up and moving. I'm not saying get rid of dopamine or that it's the, it's the it's the addiction part, it's the part where you're addicted to these bad habits. I wish we were only addicted to good habits right now. Our brains aren't wired that way though, because the brain is all to restrict good or bad only knows when you're taking them. What information you allow in. Right. When we were talking the other day, we talked about self-talk and why that is so important when you're, so anything you take in at your environment, if your environment. You're going to be disorganized up here too. So it's it's I mean, your surroundings or the people you talk to, the people you hang out with, that's why they say the sum of the five people you hang out, it's who we become right.For a lot of people have heard of. So when that, when you, so that's why, that's why I picked the diction for that answer, because it's, it's, it's so hard and I go, listen, I battled with it myself, when I was younger, drinking and drinking more. And you drink one day, drink two days and I didn't start drinking until I got older, my twenties, but it started taking a hold of me and really, really put a strain on relationships and that's so much friendships, but more relationships. I'm sure my friends noticed it was a good thing if they were hanging out with me too. So what do they care? Right. But at the same time, it's putting strain and it's putting a strain on your heart. And it's addiction sucks, man, this sucks, but I think if people are out there and they should more awareness and be more vulnerable and not be afraid to talk about their issues, when you hide. When you hide the addiction is when it becomes worse, when you put it out there in the open, he tell people about it, Hey man, I'm looking at, I am addicted to alcohol. I drank, I drank too much. I need some help, but I think it's important. I think that's instrumental. Tony Robbins talks about that, when you release that publicly, it no longer holds you hostage. You know what I mean? It's like, once you get that out, it's off of your chest. Thank you for sharing that such as story. I understand I've got people in my family addicted to things. It is not a good place. you've been a wealth of information today. I'm so inspired. I think this week to vary some things up in the gym. And since I met you, I've been really working on my bicep status. Yeah. I want you to keep reaching out to me too. I think it's great just to stay collected. You've been such a pleasure to speak to. What I say is I get to have you at my table. That's what I referred to the people that I hang out with my close knit people group, people, because I'm a foodie. So I have people who at my table. So Gordon, welcome to my table. And I want everyone out there to remember life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself. Yes. I love it. All right, I'll see you later. Bye.

How reactive am I being in this moment? How can I be more conscious in this moment? • Glam: And what I love about it, is it actually walks you the process of that • Sharon: Right, as I’ve said many times, being told the answer is within is super unhelpful if you look in and you just feel like crap • I wrote the book the way I wished I’d been taught at the beginning of the journey, that there are ways of looking within we can train our minds and our consciousness to start taking care of us 7.57 Sharon: Let’s challenge our beliefs • I used to hold dear the belief that I couldn’t trust people. That’s just turned 180 • I had to challenge that belief consciously for many years before I could arrive at a different place • There’s always a tension between rigidity and permeability • So rigidity would be exampled by my way is the right way • There's black and white thinking, there's absolutism • On the opposite extreme in the dichotomy is the permeability • Some people have been raised where anything goes where your right simply because you're so special because you're perfect in every single way • So one of those is our automatic default mode • If we want progress we have to have a go at doing something different, seeing things differently 15.58 Another balance is, do I belong, or do I differentiate? • And am I belonging for reasons that are for my own wellbeing, or because of pressure from the group? • How far can I differentiate before the tension gets to be too much? • We often mix up love and loyalty, we define love as not rocking the boat, existing within the rules of the group • We have to learn how we can belong as a differentiated self • That’s emotional maturity, when I can hold both in the one space • Where I can sit with my family, be myself even if it bothers someone, and still feel like I belong • And I will never know me unless I'm prepared to hold that space for me • And when you first do it, it’s not pretty • But once you do it, share it with somebody and say I had a go and it was messy • And that’s the first step OTHER RESOURCES: • Ultimate You Book - https://tci.rocks/order-ultimate-you • Ultimate You Quest Telecast - www.ultimateyouquest.com • Upcoming Events at The Coaching Institute - www.thecoachinginstitute.com.au/trainings • Sharon’s New Website - www.sharonpearson.com • Disruptive Leadership- https://www.disruptiveleading.com/ • Phone The Coaching Institute - 1800 094 927 • The Coaching Institute Fan Page – https://www.facebook.com/BecomeALifeCoach • Feedback/Reviews/Suggest a top to be discussed - perspectives@sharonpearson.com • Perspectives YouTube Channel – https://www.tci.rocks/youtube
Join Sharon and Glam as they discuss empowerment, how it’s often seen as a loud, external force, but how Sharon chooses to see it as an internal sense of well being that can be counted on despite the chaos of the outside world. Get your FREE getting started as a successful life coach gift pack here: https://tci.rocks/gift-pack-2020 KEY TOPICS AND TIME STAMPS: 0.23 Glam: I was looking back through the first chapter (of Ultimate You) and I love the message around empowerment and what it means to be truly empowered • Because we hear so much about that, about what it means to feel empowered • Sharon: That’s a good point. We do hear a lot about that. And people interpret that as being louder, perhaps more critical of others, absolutism, black and white thinking • And it’s not everyone, but a lot of people hear empowerment and they think, “That’s right! It’s my time!” • There’s an external-ness to it, whereas the empowerment we’re tapping into in this community is about “where is it within me?” • That regardless of what’s going on out there, I’m okay, I’m more than okay, I can handle this, I feel a deep sense of wellbeing within me in spite of and regardless of what’s out there • A lot of time the voice of empowerment is an internal voice, a quiet centeredness that amongst that, I’m just going to breathe in and pause, and not allow my emotional reactivity to clog my thinking 3.11 Glam: I loved in the introduction, I think you say, “I’m tired of hearing people say “The answer is within. Because where do I look and how do I find it? • And I think part of what you share in this first chapter is the actual pathway to looking within • Because even when we know it’s meant to be within we’re often still looking externally • Sharon: Right, we often base our internal change on external factors, “I’ll do it when” often even time can be the external factor “I’ll get to it later” • For instance I held on to a grudge against my parents for several years, and at a certain point I realized, “they don’t even know what I’m sulking about” • They’re just living their lives as they should, and I’m just making drama in my head about what they could have or should have done, which is the past, it’s not changing • I had to drop the noise, of how things had to be for me to be okay. Because none of those things are going to change, and you still have to be okay. • That’s what the whole book is orientated around • But it’s hands on, you can’t just read it and feel empowered. You have to take the steps 9.32 I really resented a message that told me to focus on my strengths, because I was in no way being validated for where I was at • A lot of people are in the same position, they need to hear, where you’re at, it makes sense • Where else could you have landed? • Some of us got faulty programming, I got really faulty programming, and I was running these programs • These programs were on righteousness, defensiveness, blame etc. • I needed to have a deep awareness of the programs I was running • Later in the book we talk about developing some more helpful programs, but first it’s just about getting rid of the ones that aren’t helpful • So part one is a lot about differentiating ourselves from our tribal cycle, because until we de-enmesh ourselves from that, we can’t elevate from it OTHER RESOURCES: • Ultimate You Book - https://tci.rocks/order-ultimate-you • Ultimate You Quest Telecast - www.ultimateyouquest.com • Upcoming Events at The Coaching Institute - www.thecoachinginstitute.com.au/trainings • Sharon’s New Website - www.sharonpearson.com • Disruptive Leadership- https://www.disruptiveleading.com/ • Phone The Coaching Institute - 1800 094 927 • The Coaching Institute Fan Page – https://www.facebook.com/BecomeALifeCoach • Feedback/Reviews/Suggest a top to be discussed - perspectives@sharonpearson.com • Perspectives YouTube Channel – https://www.tci.rocks/youtube

I always strive so much and I want to grow so much, and I want to learn so much. Pausing and even long enough to reflect, ‘You’re okay, you’re okay as you are, you’re doing okay,’ instead of striving for the next thing to ‘be okay’. - That's been a big part of my addiction for years and I've been working for five years now on enjoying the pauses the breaths, as much as the run, the sprint and as much as the marathon. - But it's still my slick. This journey for me of self-compassion is accepting me as I am in this moment and being really okay about it, including all my flaws. - But to say I accept myself, I've got to see myself accurately first. So to me self-compassion isn't an arrival point it's an ever unfolding moments of learning more about who I am and who I could be and how I'm showing up. - And it's not as simple as having baths and light candles and meditating. Self-compassion is I'm doing great. Who I am today is okay, all of me is more than enough. More than. • **5.30 • So it's not just bath salts and candles and mood lighting. Which people call self-care, It’s a much deeper reflection within ourselves. Am I showing up in this** moment taking care of me? You know people pleasers. This is for you. People pleasing is, suppressing me expressing what I need in this moment. • Self-compassion is feeling it, noticing I feel it, acknowledging I feel it, expressing I feel it and then the ultimate is having that acknowledged appropriately and compassionately, that self-compassion. compassion could probably be measured by how people allow you to express and can reflect it back to you accurately, respectfully and appropriately and fully not just the bits and aspect that their comfortable with but all the aspects. 7.30 - What would be the first step for someone that supresses their emotions to begin to identify what their feeling - I've had feelings all my life everybody has. To consciously tune into it for the purposes of self-compassion, that's a whole different conversation because we can reactively just feel what we feel and say that’s self-compassion but it’s not. - So you and I would always have feelings, we're just suppressing them or not worrying about them, not think about it and get busy doing something else. Think whatever, dismiss it and think other things are more important. But that’s not very good, that’s not self-compassion. But there is a time and place for that, like when I'm in business and I'm doing a strategy meeting, I'm all good having access to being able to supress. - And also that’s a self-compassion component, that there's a time for feelings and there’s a time for facts and I can access both as easily. 9.10 So how do you take the first step to tune into your emotions - So the first step is knowing the language of emotions. This is in the book Ultimate You. So knowing the basic emotions: happiness, sadness, disappointment ,resentment, I believe shame is also one that's generally not talked about. Just basic emotions, joy, sadness, they're there the basic emotions just know the language for that. - Plenty of people relate to anger which the basic emotion. People pleasers will relate to happiness, scratch the surface and they won't go to anger, that's generalizing, some do but there's gonna be comfort levels 10.00 Anger is a way to translate sadness into something powerful. - this is why a lot of guys are very comfortable with anger, but what they’re really saying is I can translate fear or sadness into something that gives me power. - So that’s your secondary emotion, anger is really an expression of a boundary violation that we've violated within ourselves or someone's violated but that's where people go comfortably. 10.20 So How do you do it Step 1: get comfortable with the language of the basic emotions anger sadness disappointment joy happiness curiosity. Just name some basic ones. It could be within your repertoire. Could be a little bit out of focus. Step 2: Ask yourself which of these do I play with and which do I just push away. • The point a lot of people just stopped trying is because they've trained everybody around them to not accept their, insert your emotion here, and I think especially with this education and without knowing all these layers underneath it they will come to the conclusion that that's just the way the world is now. They wouldn't know how to change it; they wouldn't know that they've created it. • It's true, so many years when I went to go to express sadness and got rejected, suppressed, denied, ignored, neglected, shamed, I learnt said you can't be sad read people and then start realizing how often people can be sad around me… • And it's really easy to stop there and just go man, ‘this is too hard’ or not even get conscious about it and just go unconscious they just shut it down. • Step 3. Next step towards this is… • There’s a level here of suck it up. It's really tough and it would be easy to tortes the shit out of this and put your head right back in and just ignore and go into your cave. • Then you've got to face, how do I change the nature of my relationships with people around me? 18.40 How I got friendly with my emotions - My husband and I went travelling as you know for six weeks overseas and I decided this is it. I'm going to learn how to have an emotion in front of someone, not supress it, be comfortable with it. And I'm going to keep doing it until I'm really friendly with my emotions and I'm friendly with the idea of other people being friendly with my emotions. - And that's where the whole mirroring exercise came from. So everything I wrote in the book is what I did. 20.00 Story of how she did the mirroring exercise with her husband - Mirroring is when you start doing it and the other person has to be the parent and you'd wished you had when the first event happened until you can parent yourself the way you wished you had. So the other person needs to be open, curious, not try and fix it, no judgement, not make it about you and maintain eye contact and positivity not rah rah. 28.20 Shame loves shadows - I think when people hear compassion they sometimes think they have to do it alone and that it’s gonna start with themselves. It's OK if and it's important for you to maybe hear this from someone. In fact it’s vital - Shame loves shadows, so the emotions were not comfortable with, we feel shame, we feel rejection or we feel a need to hide it. These are all variants of shame so we felt those emotions as a child and it was shamed by not being literally shamed but it could have been mocked, judged, rejected, ignored, neglected, shunted aside or made insignificant or silly, six or seven different ways it's shamed, then in adulthood our own consciousness is still playing out the same thing that emotion is required for this moment of intimacy. But because I link shame to that emotion I won't be able to show up and into this moment because I'm feeling shame right now and it’s going to be all about me. So we need that person so we can play out that unconscious pattern in a safe way where it's all about us. - And here's the thing you never reverse the role if you will my mirroring partner I don't then turn into yours because we need to learn the unconditional acceptance of it's all about you as you feel that yucky read emotion not friendly with emotion, the point is not about being a trade.

Keskustelu alkaa kohdasta 17 min 30 s Kukapa meistä ei olisi pienenä haaveillut olevansa supersankari! Teräsmiehen tai Terästytön voimilla olisi tehnyt mitä vain – ja jos olet syntynyt 70-luvun jälkeen, valinnanvara on vain kasvanut. Nostaako haave edelleen päätään aika ajoin, vai unohtuiko se arjen realiteeteissa? Kummin vain, Christoffer Weiss on täällä sinua varten. Nyt tosin unohdetaan vanhat mallit, ja tutkitaan mitä on kasvaa supersankaruuteen omina itsenämme, niiden voimien kanssa jotka ovat meille luonnostaan ominaisia. Christoffer kävi vieraanamme kertomassa piristävään tyyliinsä, mistä arjen supersankaruudessa on kyse, ja kuinka sitä voi alkaa toteuttamaan. Hän on kansainvälisesti työskentelevä monitaituri, joka muun muassa luennoi ja vetää työpajoja, tuottaa tapahtumia järjestelyineen ja esitystekniikoineen, puhuu hyvän ravitsemuksen puolesta ja pyörittää Raakapuoti.fi -sivustoa. Unohtamatta mainita, että hän myös ammattinäyttelijä, joka on opiskellut sekä Teatterikorkeakoulussa että Los Angelesissa. Puhuimme supersankaruuden lisäksi –ja siihen liittyen– myös hieman: * kuinka asettaa huimin mahdollinen tavoite, ja käyttää sitä pikemmin oppimisen ja etenemisen välineenä kuin lopullisena päämääränä * sisäisistä arvoista elämänpolkua ohjaavina tekijöinä, niiden tutkimisesta ja niihin vaikuttamisesta * siitä, millaisessa maailmassa elämme ja mitkä mekanismit sen ovat muotoilleet, ja kuinka meillä on mahdollisuus ja voima valita millaisessa maailmassa haluamme elää, kun vain uskomme visioihimme * kuinka mieli on vain yksi työkalumme, kuinka ottaa muita työkaluja esiin pakista, kuinka saada yhteys siihen joka niitä käyttää, ja kuinka pitää YT-neuvottelut egon kanssa, * valosta ja rakkaudesta Jakson muistiinpanoja: ▶ Christoffer Weiss – virallinen kotisivu ▶ Christofferin Facebook-sivu ▶ How to Become a SuperHero: The Ultimate Guide to the Ultimate You! ▶ David Wilcock ▶ Megamind
