Break Down: S1E5 Master Your Mind to Have The Best Day Ever Jan 04, 2018

Show notes

Last week we talked about enhancing your mind and being more creative. Today, we're going to talk about clearing and mastering our mind to create space for all of those new ideas and creative solutions that you're going to come up with.

Many of us spend a ton of time and energy taking care of our bodies and helping other people take care of their bodies.

But when it comes to the mind, sometimes that comes as an afterthought. We can't see our mind and our thoughts getting all dad bod in the mirror so it's just less obvious when you're getting saggy in the mental department and often we think of the mind as something outside of our own control.

But your thoughts are things and like we covered in the last two shows on limiting beliefs and becoming more creative, you can have total control of these things.

And just like your body, your mind can get unruly and out of hand and the more you let it just do whatever it wants, the more you'll feel the fluctuations of reactive or repressive emotions that affect you and the people around you.

Developing a good relationship with your mind is critical to building a life that's successful on your own terms. On this show, we discuss some habits you can start cultivating right now for less stress and distraction to create space for more creativity and more enjoyment in life.

Break Down S1E4: How to Be More Creative Dec 28, 2017

Show notes

This week, we're finally moving up the Pyramid of Results. For the last two Break Downs, we've identified your values and beliefs which affect your thoughts - and thoughts are what we'll focus on with this show.

We'll specifically focus on how to enhance your thoughts and get your creative juices flowing.

Heightened creativity might not be something you immediately think of when you imagine the qualities of a successful trainer, gym owner, or any other type of entrepreneur but it is SO important.

Besides being intelligent, integral, and having initiative - creativity is one of the most important qualities of someone who gets places in the world and makes a big impact on their communities.

This show is also going to be filled with some of our favourite books and resources so if reading more and learning more is a part of your New Years resolution, we'll have all of these books and resources linked in our show notes at fitnessbreakroom.com/creativity

Enjoy the show!
