Your excuses are lies, lies you tell yourself to justify your in action.
I'm not going to pretend this isn't something I don't do, I make excuses, hell, most people do, but recognize what they really are.
Excuse - To remove blame from, to justify
Be careful my friends, excuses can be contagious, one can lead to another.

Today we take a dive back into the world of meditation.
As promised in part one of the meditation, we are going to be doing a deeper exploration (Part 1) on meditation.
In the first part we discussed what meditation is exactly and how it effects your brain, leading to why you should utilize this incredible tool.
While doing research for part one, I discovered some other benefits of meditation that we dive deep into today!
1. The (potential) effects meditation has on the immune system!
2. How it can INCREASE Neuroplasticity!!
Don't know what Neuroplasticity is?? Well, click this to learn more!

Pre-workouts are great, if they're using the right ingredients and dosing them properly at that!
The issue is, most companies DO NOT. They either put bare minimums or (unfortunately) even less.
It's really a shame because there's real science backing some supplement ingredients, but the companies really can give the whole industry a bad name.
I decided to dig into a little research and figure out which ingredients appeared to be the best based off this (the research) and my own personal experiences.
The top 4 ingredients I came across that sound the most promising:
1. Caffiene
2. L-Tyrosine
3. Nitric Oxide Booster (Beet Root Powder, L-Citrulline, CItrulline Malate)
4. Choline (Alpha-GPC to be more specific)
Honorable Mentions:
1. Beta Alanine
2. Creatine Monohydrate (this one was personal, I've never seen much benefit personally)
Ingredients I changed my mind on or showed little to no evidence:
1. L-Theanine (sadly I use to swear by this)
2. Taurine.

The trickle effect fitness can have on every other aspect of your life is REAL!
It's hard to recognize it all at the beginning because you're trying to figure out your training routine, understand what exercises you like, your style, your nutrition, etc.... and you look RIGHT BY everything your implementing.
The little things matter, there's a famous quote that I love and directly applies here.
"How you do anything is how you do everything." So when you begin your fitness journey it's not obvious, it takes failure after failure to cultivate everything necessary to see the results, but when you take the time to reflect back you'll see it!

This concept will clear the air a bit for some, and explain why it may be easier for some to lean, skinny while some may put on fat rather easily.
The concept of NEAT
N- Non
E- Exercise
A- Activity
T- Thermogenesis
Put more simply, the calories you burn when you're not training!!! This can be so many different things

Having a community, friends, family, people who support and encourage you is important, but what happens when they're not around.
It's crucial for you to acquire the skill to encourage yourself through the tough days.
The days you don't want to get out of bed.
The days you think you look fat
The days you don't want to train, or follow the nutrition plan
You know those days, the days that suck.
This requires a certain level of selfishness, but there are 2 types of selfish people out there.
Be sure to listen in and see what the differences are.

What does Meditation mean? In the words of Dr. Joe Dispenza, "to know thyself"
Meditation is a mind-body practice. A practice of concentrated focus to increase awareness of the present moment. Simply put, to be present!
Meditation is amazing, because it can help you discover in your heart and soul.
Meditation can allow you to tap into your subconscious "programming" and change the things you may not like about yourself!
How does this work? Well our state of being is how we think and feel. This is reflected through brain waves, and our brain waves can range from hyperactive to slow, relax, and calm allowing us to tap into the unconscious mind!
Tune in for more information!

Today we revisit a hot topic.
Going to battle with the person you see in the mirror, but why?
Because the person you see in the mirror is the one stopping you from losing the weight you keep telling yourself you need to lose
The person in the mirror is the one holding you back from getting healthier, like you've been saying for 4 years.
Winning the war within yourself, EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Is the key to winning each day and never giving up again!

What would you say if I told you that you're not confined to the person you are today?
That's right we can change ourselves and become the person you've always wanted to be, and whys that? BECAUSE THE BRAINS PLASTIC!
Neuroplasticity - The brain is moldable.
Technically speaking Neuroplasticity is the demonstration our ability to learn and form new neural networks (gangs of neurons that transfer information).
Why's this important?
Well stay tuned and find out! ;)

If you've been around for awhile you'll know that Mindset is the key to EVERYTHING!
Are you serious about your health and fitness goals?
Are you really interested in achieving ultimate health?
Are you serious about creating the body you're looking for?
Then lets start here. You need to shift that mindset from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, but what's the difference? It's simply your outlook on life.
Those with a growth mindset look at challenges, failure, and obstacles as an opportunity to grow and learn.
Those with a fixed mindset look at these very same things in a limited mindset simply out of fear.
Make this shift in your perception of the tasks at hand, find ways to grow instead of limit yourself and the world will become your oyster. MORE IMPORTANTLY, your goals become way more attainable.
