Whats Newsworthy - Ignite Your Purpose #IYP 139
We talk longevity through a healthy lifestyle ~ a mix of mental physical and spiritual knowledge ~ The mind Body soul trifecta ~ Neagative To Positive ~ Better Everyday
Bert and Ernie and Kylie Jenner were in the new' s today or trending in the new's today on all social media platforms!
Wow, what can we say other than that boggles my mind. We have Un explored sea's the universe may actually be the multi verse, we have up to 12 other realms being discovered, billion's of galaxies, the DNA strands we know nothing about, the brain we only use 3-10% of and the final fact that we do not even know what each one of us is capable of. We do not even know what is inside of us as far as energies and knowledge.
Yet it would appear that we are more interested in being slaves to what other people who are "super star's" on TV or Social Media are doing in their lives?
What is so important that the masses always look up to those whom we perceive to be in-some type of power. That could be Religion, King's, Queen's, Movie Star's, Royalty...and so on. Do we feel we are less than? Do we find our day to day life and or struggle that boring or non important that we place these type of people, places, and issues on a pedestal?
So John and myself put our 2 cent's in on why we take the main stage new's item's as important when maybe just maybe we are being re directed to item's which may be dumbing us down!????
Just our thoughts!

Were Human after all....
 
Frustration from my ace boom Mr John Barrett today lead to this amazing conversation which is something each and every one of us face when trying, learning or doing something new. It even happen's when we least expect it.
 
It's how we deal with it that makes all the difference in the world. I spoke about the well known story of the baby who is crawling but learning to walk(which by the way each one of us did). Now at no point did any one of us say "well this is try number 209 of walking, I just do not think I will get it, so I will keep crawling then."
 
Not even close, we just enjoyed the journey and moved on.
 
From there (as in life) we then learned to balance well, maybe run, then we learned to jump, skip , hop on one leg and so on.
The progression just keep's on going on, yet as we age I think we get to a point where we forget that we actually never GET THERE~
 
Everything keep's changing and evolving and what we may have mastered yesterday may be old new's tomorrow...so we then have to re learn.
 
Jocko Willink say's frustration is just an excuse or a fear! Something we use to put off or maybe even use as a reason to quit!
 
There is not quit on team #IYP we just learn, and fail forward day after day! I know the team listening feels the same way~

Routine over Data
So we read a study that came out about the #human #mind. A very straight forward study that simply stated the obvious for us all.
This study at it's most basic form said this in a nut shell and in the most non #scientific words I can come up with; if we have been repeating a habit, belief or behaviour for so long that it's now 110% woven into our own personal DNA and fabric of life, that no matter the studies the fact's the proof that can be supplied to get us to change our mind's as to the habit, belief or behaviour we display. Almost 100% of the time we will not want to change our ways to fit this new information!
Let that sink in..
Example; My great grandparents, my grandparent, my parents, my self and now my children eat and have always eaten chocolate bars for breakfast...Information comes out to say that maybe this is taking years of your life, causing illness X,Y and Z, and all these other issue's.
We and by we...most of us would rather put our head in the sand and continue on with "what we know to be our way" what we perceive to be the truth, then to change what may not be truth.
This would then cause us to have to look at what we have believed to be truth as not truth and shaking our inner reality to the core....

Committing to...
So after yesterday's show we had some comment's and feedback from some of the listener's on this feeling "what if you are not 100% committed or not all in on the thing we may or may not want to commit to?"
So John Barrett and myself thought it would be a good idea to focus on that motion, that concern the feeling that yes we do want to commit but are unsure if it's really want we want.
There were a few different topic's that came up, that of schooling (Universities), that of a job, and the last one of love.
So for myself when I 110% committed to my health...I was all in there was NO PLAN B! For me it was the long game, and I made sure I understood there was NO turning back. We could look at that as a scary thing, something that put's us in a box or does not allow us to eat or live like "normal people." Or we can look at it like a million new door's just opened up for us and a new world just appeared for us!
If you are with the man or women of your dream's the person you want to grow old with the person you want to share everything with, then we must be (and most likely want to be) 110% committed to that person and relationship. However if we are with someone who is just so so to us, or is just not who we see our self with, then do we really see a 110% commitment to that person? Or would we just be there until the next best thing come's along? Sort of wasting time...
At that point we are doing a dis services to ourselves and those around us by half assing a commitment instead of ending that said item and looking for or moving towards our true want's.
It would be extremely difficult to commit to something we are just not that into~

#Commitment - Is it in You?Committing to #Health, or #lifestyle, the #gym, #love, your #work, your #children, whatever it is you commit to how do you make it work and or last?
When John asked me this today I immediately thought back to the moment I decided then committed to my mental, physical and spiritual health! 110% in no looking back, only to get better everyday as I learned more everyday!
This type of commitment then spilled into other area's of my life as well. It's far from easy but in truth has just become a way of life. And for myself one factor in determining my commitment is the WHY behind it. If it's for something larger than just mu ego...then it usually work's it's way into my routine, then it become habit and then apart of my lifestyle!
John himself talked about his re commitment to training again for another #Ironman and how that came out of the want to be better for himself and as well as the #love he has for the #sport.
He also mentioned the #mental #difficulty he, and I am sure we all will face that sometimes you just do not 'feel' like it... example he was tired yesterday and knew he had a 2 hour ride on his bike that needed to get done. He said to himself ok I commit to 30 minutes and let's see where it goes from there, 2 hours later he felt amazing!

Stimulating Creativity
 
It's been one heck of an undertaking for John Barrett and myself to come up with idea's and create every single day.
 
I do not think when we thought of this idea that - that would be the case day in and day out.
 
Yet I, we have noticed something very #beneficial happening in both of our lives, somewhat of a spill over into other areas of life from working this muscle we call the brain.
 
Not unlike working let's say your arms or legs at the gym, we are working out the brain, by staying away from the #mundane task's or by sticking to what it is we know and do best. It become to #complacent, to easy so there is no growth for in the mind as we move forward and age everyday.
 
So even though it is difficult, it get's easier, it get's well just normal to push the other side of the #brain the #creative side of the brain that we stopped using as a child. The #imaginary friends, the nothing is #impossible #mentality.
 
From this we have both noticed this new #alive feeling, this new felt #purpose, new vision's, and an overall new energy feeling that has been blasted into out lives!
 
So from us to you...if you're thinking of trying something new...#guaranteed the #positive out weight the #negative!!

Ignite Your Purpose #IYP (133) Elephant in the room

Ignite Your Purpose #IYP - Episode 133
We talk longevity through a healthy lifestyle ~ a mix of mental physical and spiritual knowledge ~ The mind Body soul trifecta ~ Neagative To Positive ~ Better Everyday
 
The Elephant in the Room - do we need to address it?
 
When I put out a post last night, I had no idea it would spark an absolutely brilliant conversation between John Barrett and myself as well as a few other great minds that decided to tag in.
 
So my post was based on addressing the elephant in my room which is my size compared to other's in my underground hand to hand combat training group. When I step into train I almost always pause and have to breath deep, focus and take a mental energy and strength to move forward. Meaning; I know that the fact that I am smaller then all that the other's in the group...the hit's and shot's I take to the head and body hurt and hurt a lot.
 
So I have had to address this fact and the fear that comes with it and the knowledge and empowerment I am getting each time I move forward on this path to progress. It started though by addressing the fear which has been there since such an early age when those older than me and in authoritative positions would always re enforce this fact by saying things like : your smaller be careful, or he is small so go gentle on him...
 
John had a very valid point which is this; at some point we need to drop and not pay attention to those little voice's in our head that trigger those old neurones', behaviour's and belief system's. It is also a fact that the more you think it, speak it, and believe it the more you strength those hard wires in our brain.

 With Hindsight
 So John Barrett wanted to get into the talk of #hindsight so he asked me about my thoughts on; What, How and would you change anything about the moves I made when it came to my music and entrepreneur lifestyle and ways.
 
Although off the top I state this much: We are exactly where we are supposed to be at in this moment from all OUR choice's and decision's and our level of understanding and conciseness.
 
So try not to regret anything, this is a bad spot to be....If we can realize all that happen's to us is actually happening FOR US...for our betterment and so we may learn! To be better and evolve!
 
On that note, I mentioned 2 things I wish I knew more about at a very very early age would be this; Not giving away my power to others, And
to not allow or listen to those I put into an authoritative position, thinking they knew better than I did how to get what I wanted, and as well thinking they knew what I needed do to or where I needed to get better than I did for myself.
 
These 2 are massive, and a must to take back our self control and power...once we do that there is NO LOOKING BACK or hindsight, it's just your personal road of knowledge!

Standing Out From the Crowd
 
John Barrett and myself talk about this need to fit in. This need to be #accepted to feel that we are part of the #team or #tribe or #community.
 
This came up when I had a chat with a father over a cup of tea this morning and his son who is in grade 1, and this other son who is in his first year of high school are both havig troubles #adjusting and fitting in. From that they are having #anxiety and #self #worth issue's.
 
It was also super interesting to note that the father himself who is in his mid to late 40's was then talking about how he was having trouble fitting in with the already tight nit community at his new job.
 
As I sat there listening and remember the same issue's in school then high school then first job...adult hood it was very relevant to me that "hey we actually never grow out of this yearning to be accepted"
 
The mind blowing part is most of the time we want to be excepted by those whom we don't even like or enjoy their company (this may not be the case all the time but a good portion of the time it is) all just to be able to breath easy and say "cool I got the invite or the ok from the team" even if that mean's hiding who we truly are just to fit in because that is the "norm"
 
But we were not put here on this #beautiful #planet that is full of #abundance to fit in...we are all meant to stand out from the crowd!!!

 The Why - The End Game
 
In this Episode John Barrett came up with some awesome #questions to get us all back to the reality of the #situation when we seek #validation~
 
1. Why?(why are you seeking this)
2. What would you want to say to the other person (write that down)
3. What would you want to hear from them? (write that down)
4. How would that actually change the situation?
 
After I did this process, I kind you not I laughed so hard I almost peed myself! It was absolutely ridiculous.
 
From those question's we then got into the discussion of the #programming we all have as human's in each of our upbringing.
 
It's that of the #authority #figure and how we are told we are lesser than those in that position and to listen to and do as they say, so we seek approval from them and all the while we are simply giving our power away!!
 
So think about that...why is it that we give our power away? Thinking someone else's words, opinion or advice is the answer for us, when in actual fact if what they say is not in alignment with what's in our heart or mind we then get upset. (John spoke about that issue with how he use to converse with his sister)
