Improving Your Bodies Physical Response to Training By Getting Your Brain on Board

Going all in with anything you are doing doesn’t always mean jumping in head first with everything you’ve got physically but rather it means jumping in with everything you got from a whole body, mind, and soul standpoint.
What needs to happen first is that you as the athlete ask yourself what is my mindset going into each of the sessions and if it isn’t totally on board how can I shift that. In this video I go into more detail about how getting your mind on board is the number one key to going all in with your training!!

The Healing Power of Gratitude

Practicing mindfulness and gratitude means paying attention, purposeful attention, to the present moment. Be more accepting of yourself, and give yourself some grace. This sounds so simple but its true and when we express our gratitude that in turns makes us more grateful. Our brains cannot tell the difference between imaginary and reality and so what we tell ourselves on a regular basis it will believe and this goes to the same for our actions, when we continually express gratitude to ourselves and others then our brain will start to continually look for and express gratitude.

3 Step Reset Ritual to Bring You Back to Present when Thrown Off Your Game

Some people call this the mistake ritual but I feel like it is more appropriately deemed a reset ritual because it can be used whenever you find yourself feeling a little out of wack, unfocused, stuck, frustrated, or just off your game. The Reset Ritual uses a power word or phrase, a physical movement and your breath to anchor you back to the present moment and keep you in the game.

Mindset Shift on Racing and Training in 2020

It is hard to not get down in the dumps when you have worked so hard yet continually see something slip out of your fingers, or at least have it feel like it is. I think it’s safe to say we all miss the feeling of racing; we miss the nervous energy, the excitement, the camaraderie, the joy, the pain, and the feeling of accomplishment that we just did something awesome. See how making a mindset shift made all the difference in the world when it came to racing and training in 2020.

Making Mental Training A Daily Habit

Making mental training a daily habit is one of the strongest and best things you can do for yourself. It will benefit you in all aspects of your life, yes we talk triathlon a lot in this space but if you really focus what you will find is that your mindset training you do for triathlon will benefit you in all aspects of life too. There will always be moments where you need to buck up and dip into some courage and strength but if you have spent your practice focusing on the small daily habits it becomes easier and easier to dip into the extremes when you need to.

Priming Your Brain for Positivity and Productivity

We have the ability to be limitless. Our brain is primed to be completely limitless; it is primed to find exactly what we tell it to look for. If you tell yourself you suck at something then your brain is going to continually look for things that solidify that you suck at it. If you tell yourself that you love something and are good at it you are going to find things that solidify that you are good at it.

Be mindful in your intentions and you will find that you are mindful within yourself!! In this article we discuss the importance of intentions and how they can help improve your mindset.

Fix Your External Environment by Changing Your Internal Mindset

Want to change your external environment? First you have to change your internal environment (ie: your mindset). You make the conscious decision to change your mindset it not only makes the current external environment you are in better but sets you on a path to changing it.

In this video I talk about my own mindset shift that changed my life and why I feel the changes were why.

Creating a Road Map from Your Goals

Goal setting is a powerful process that helps guide you along whatever journey it is that you want to go on. However, often what happens is we stop at creating the goal. We come up with the goal, the dream, the “thing”, etc that we want to strive and reach for yet we don’t come up with the path to get to it. I put together a video explaining and providing an example of how to create a goal road map in which you work backwards from your big scary goal all the way down to the little action items that you can use to help guide you on a daily basis towards working towards your goals.
