1. Snack I’m loving… I love potato chips. I avoid them because they are not good for you. Boulder Canyon is a brand that I do eat. They have no artificial junk in them, they do not use bad seed oils, and there are only three ingredients… potatoes, avocado oil, and sea salt. They taste…
1. Inspiring video I re-watched this week… If there’s one thing I love to see, it’s someone doing something extraordinary… something they were told they could not do. I remind myself regularly that just because something has not been done, or just because everyone says you can’t do something, doesn’t mean that it can’t be…
1. Something of interest to me… I’ve always been intrigued with human history. Our ancestors endured incredible adversity. For us to not only survive, but thrive, through history as a species is amazing. One period of time, the 1800s, has captured my attention lately. We’ve watched three shows that help capture what things were like…
1. Misogi completed… This year’s misogi was for me to do a cold plunge in the lake behind my house EVERY DAY in January. Well… today is January 31st, and I am DONE! I knew I was going to be out of town today (January 31st), so to make it official I did TWO cold…
1. App I am using… I recently downloaded, and have been using daily, the BobbyApproved app. Bobby Parrish is someone I follow. He’s been posting information on what foods are good and which are bad since 2012. He has more than 15 million followers. He created an app that allows you to simply scan a…
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.…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
