1. This year’s misogi… I have committed to doing one big challenge, called a misogi, each year. Last year, I climbed Mt. Rainier, spending three nights on the mountain in 40 mph winds at 20-30 degrees below zero with the wind chill. This year, I committed to doing a cold plunge every day in January.…
I saw a headline the other day that said, “The Benefits of Cutting Sugar Out of Your Diet in 2025.” I didn’t read the article, but instantly had two thoughts. First, there are so many benefits to cutting sugar out of your diet. This list would include lowered inflammation, better sleep, improved brain function, more…
1. Quitter’s Day… The second Friday of January has officially been called “Quitter’s Day.” Why? Because a majority of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions on this day. It’s about now that most people realize they are not committed to the new goals, have not prepared properly, or set goals that were just too big.…
If I were to ask what you are truly capable of… how much you could do… or how much you could handle, it would be impossible for you to answer. Why? Because you simply cannot know. How could you possibly know how much resilience you have? Resilience is defined as “the capacity to withstand or to recover…
1. Great New Year strategy… Jesse Itzler is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, and more. He created a simple formula to make your year (and life) better. The idea is this… (1.) Every quarter, choose a new habit to work on… (2.) Plan six mini-adventures (one every other month)…. (3.) Commit to a “misogi”… a massively…
If you’re one of the 40 million people that will set new year’s resolutions this year, know that statistics show that more than 80% of people that make new year’s resolutions fail. I don’t say this to scare you off or to discourage you from setting goals. I highly recommend it. But it helps to…
1. Video clip I saw and loved this week… A clip popped up on Instagram this week of Dr. Wayne Dyer. He was one of the first personal growth experts I came across, and that was when I was probably 14 years old. His content is VERY good! He’s written more than 40 books (21…
I was having a discussion with an oncologist (a cancer doctor) about alternative forms of medicine outside of the traditional treatments used by almost every doctor and hospital. His response was quite negative, stating that they would not directly affect the cancer. And because of that, they would be a waste of time. The truth…
1. Study worth noting… There was a study done in 1966 where 20-year old college students were confined to 3 weeks of bedrest (called the Dallas Bed Rest and Training Study). Researchers were testing the effects of this inactivity on cardiac function and physical fitness. As expected, their physical fitness declined significantly (by an average…
Cancer is the number two killer in the U.S. This year alone, over two million cases of cancer will be diagnosed, with over six million people dying from the disease. Almost half of all people can expect to get a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime (Yikes!). Cancer rates among younger people are on the rise…
