If you watched a couple of the videos I've posted on social media lately labeled "mindset magic", here's a little debrief on how they work. 

Read the sentence:

It's just the way I am.

Take a breath. What feeling did reading that create?

Now read the translated sentence:

It's just...

3 minutes of calm is worth 3 hours of chaos. That's the thought that came to me last night during my longest stand up paddle to date. First 2hrs was all headwind and annoying choppy water. The second half consisted of a tailwind at least, but still had some confused chop to it...

A great conversation on the Back To The Present podcast. Mitchell asks incredibly thought provoking questions, and this was a ton of fun. Check it out wherever you stash your podcasts.

Almost a year ago, I filmed this during one of my Enlifted Mindset Coaching certifications. The assignment was to present your origin story in 10 minutes. 10 minutes to share what got you to where/who you are now (for the Joseph Campbell fans, think of the hero's journey). This was...

Time for #4. Dr Diet rounds out our team, and is the one that in many ways is the easiest and quickest to implement, but the hardest to stay with. I get it. In all the ways. Whether it's being too beat to make something nutritious after a 7-7 or before the next one, or it's cleaning up the kid's...

Next up is the Dr that can sometimes feel totally out of reach. Simply put, nobody wants to get in that bad ass workout after an overnight shift. No shit! Funny thing is, we would all be well served to listen to that.

The trouble with Dr Movement in our circles, is that we have it engrained in us...

Doctor number 2 is the one we check in with when we find ourselves feeling "stuck", or notice that all too common "resting bitch face" is starring back in the mirror. An appointment with Dr Happy can be as simple or as in depth as you want it to be, or as your schedule permits.

Every little...

Aside from simplicity, you know what the other great thing about the 4 doctors is? The longer you've gone without "visiting" them, the shorter your appointment can be! That is especially true with this one. 

I chose Dr Quiet to start out because let's be honest, it's the one we neglect the...

"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated" - Confucius

One of the things I've benefited most from following Paul Chek's instruction is the application of his Four Doctors Theory in my own life. Especially during/after busy work blocks. The premise is simple, and that's the...

Bear with me while I share a quick story.

While sitting beside my new cold water spot, taking some quality breaths before getting in, a man walked onto the bridge just upstream and sat down to enjoy the river in his own way. The way an elderly man out for a leisurely stroll does.

Immediately I...

What do you want yours to look like?

The tendancy is to often look at what we can either add or remove from our lives, or what we could be better at (ie; drink less, eat better, excercise more, etc). That's lame, and primarily why I've failed at attaining goals in the past.

What if instead of...

Check out the great conversation that Garrett from The Squadroom Podcast and I had on his latest episode. We touch on a lot including: the vitim mentality amongst first responders, how to quit "should"ing on ourselves, the importance of community, and the results of investing in yourself.
