This is the process that you can use in order to increase your discipline, to become a world-class athlete with the aesthetics of your physique. I believe all men have grown up looking at heroes for the longest period of time and we model them and we see them be like. Oh, I want to be like that guy. I want to look like that guy. It's one of the reasons, main reasons, that I want to get into the gym. I remember when I was young and I saw like the rock tattoo on his arm. I would have been like, you know, eight or nine years old. I visualized myself what do I look like when I'm older? And it was whatever the tattoo rock had on his arm, with a huge like that tattoo, like on my back, and I just had this like jacked back and I always knew that I was going to be have like this dream physique and all men look up to, to having that and all men respect another man that has a high quality physique. It demonstrates power, it demonstrates confidence, it has all these like range of benefits. So why are we not disciplined? Why do we find it hard to get to the gym? Well, when we do get to the gym, we come consumed by it and nothing else matters, and then we attach our life to that stuff, but what's the thing that prevents us from the discipline of even getting there? So I'm going to answer that in this video for you. I'm going to run through some processes and my mindset of how to create the best body for yourself, how to upgrade your energy, a whole bunch of health processes.
Speaker 1:So get pumped up for this podcast, because we're getting into it and I want to share with you things. Things because I have had, basically I've had my dream physique. For what year is it? It's 2023. I have had my like dream physique for almost 10 years now. It's been like 10 years and, naturally, I've almost had my dream physique. So I competed when I was first 21, 22, and I was happy with it and I was like, wow, I look incredible. So I've been able to compete and there's no steroids guys, no steroids Haven't touched any of that stuff. And I want to share the and I've been disciplined, like I haven't missed a gym session, like hardly, and when I've had like holidays or something, when I've intentionally had a couple of weeks off of the gym, I've gone straight back to it. I haven't, like had a consistent period of time of ever having off. I've always eaten my meals, I've had everything on time and it's become such a routine habit and there's like discipline, there's passion and there's motivation which come from that. Now I'm going to share with you all the tools and secrets here.
Speaker 1:So I believe that it breaks up into like you can break your life up into essentially three different areas. Right, what comes first in these areas? Body, mind, spirit and business. There, I believe, are like the four core areas of everything that we focus on Body, mind, spirit, business. Which one comes first? Well, it's definitely not business, because you don't start business too later on. So it's got to be body, mind or spirit.
Speaker 1:You could say spirit in terms of the time things entered up, enter us and we have our mind in our consciousness. But I do believe spirit is presence and consciousness. So we don't start gaining consciousness until we're certain year, like years old, as a baby, same thing with our mind, but we are born first and, if I need to quote, there is more wisdom in your body than your deepest philosophy. So, understanding and listening to our body and understanding what it wants. And just recently I've gone through a huge injury and it's lasted. Getting close now to a year I still have it, but it's very small and I've worked through it and I've had to go through listening and paying attention and intuition with my body in a way that I've never thought I would be thinking about beforehand. So it's just I've had some massive perception shifts and they have been amazing, to say that.
Speaker 1:So when we think about body and we want to start with body and we're like born into this world is when we're trying to have this unlimited amount of energy. As a kid we'd run around all day, we'd do everything else, and then we start coming to an adult, we start either sitting down or working all day, but we've got so much stress and other things in our mind that we forget to just work on ourselves. We forget to work on ourselves. So here's a couple of tips that I like to use to keep myself disciplined. And it's just understanding where your motivation for the gym comes from. That's why I didn't want to be a PT, so I trained all this stuff for the longest period of time.
Speaker 1:Never want to be a personal trainer, because what I always found was that you'd give people a diet, you'd set them out of training plan. They wouldn't do it. Only the really highly motivated individuals would do it, which is so frustrating. So what is your job? As a personal trainer? You might as well be a personal motivator. Should actually be the role of a personal trainer with a personal motivator in health and fitness, like because that is your job, right, because people, it's difficult for us to stick to our plans and I sympathize and empathize with everyone because I understand how difficult it is and after competing in bodybuilding competitions and understanding on the peak end of how disciplined you got to be in order to complete that, and when I first started out in gym and fitness, understand what it looked like being not disciplined and all and eating disgusting and eating unhealthy and having brain fog and all the rest of it and that's what really motivated me to start doing what I'm doing now. I was like what's the key? What's the thing that's going to help us get there? So that's the juice that I hope you can take out of this podcast.
Speaker 1:What we got to do is get clear on our motivations. If our motivations come from a hurt place, an insecurity, a fear, a judgment, where these may come from is I'm never going to get the right guy. I'm not going to get anyone, so I need to work out to have a sexy body. It's quite a vain motivation. I hate my body, so I have to work out. No one likes me. I'm weak, I'm frail, I'm a piece of shit. I've got to work out. No one's ever going to like me. Fear of not being accepted. Another fear that may happen is you've been bullied beforehand. Bullied, judged, criticized, called little, skinny, overweight, a fat shit it might have been called something like that. So, out of hate and spite, I'm going to go to gym to crush all of these things and get it done. Or you have no, they're pretty much it, I would say those ones.
Speaker 1:If you've got a motivation that come from that, that can lead to bad eating habits. They can lead to big eating. They can eat all of it and lead, lead, not eat all of it that can lead to all of the negative things happen, you know, with diet, culture and all the rest of it, and when we understand that, yes, being able to attract a sexier partner is a byproduct of how we're trained, is a byproduct of working on a health and fitness. Being able to sell and have a better business is a byproduct off of our dedication and discipline to health and fitness. Being able to eat whatever we want, give or take is a byproduct of dedication to our health and fitness. Being able to wear what we want is dedication and a byproduct is a byproduct and dedication to a health of fitness. So what are the real motivations then?
Speaker 1:Well, we got to find the ones that are benefit for us, like one of my heaviest, one of my biggest motivations is that, before I die, I want to live like. Well, I want to live Like even in my oldest age. I don't want to be old and crippled, I want to be strong, I want to be flexible, want to be able to move, and a great predictor of how long you're gonna live is Training, training, weights, is your the size of your muscle mass. So it's interesting they predictor of how long you're gonna live. It comes down to two things. There's other stuff, but these are the two main ones, and that's how big a milgy eat and how how big your muscle mass is. They're the two things. If you eat huge meals all the time, you're not gonna live as long because your body's digestion has to work so hard to get through it. If you haven't got enough muscle, then your body starts like crippling and falling away. So we want to go through and find a really good balance of being able to deal with hunger, maybe fast a little bit and also lift a lot of weights. It increases your libido, it increases your mood, it increases how sharp your brain's gonna be.
Speaker 1:I also know and understand the power of having a really strong physique because it makes you feel more confident, like someone if you have, are making millions of dollars per year and it's coming, is coming. They have this confidence and this aura around you that I hate. No one can fuck with me because I'm so independent. Same thing with how strong your physique is. You're like this is my Lamborghini bitch and Essentially like that can feel really good and also understanding that there is a mutual respect that come from people and a power, but also it's it's like the power that you receive, it's the energy that you have from that is the confidence that you gain and when you can make those things, your prioritization like this is for my health, this is for me, this is respect and it's for my own discipline and grit's sake. So some people can like a man, that people, people talk to me like.
Speaker 1:I really want to get disciplined. That's the thing that we focus on set the setting community. I really want to be disciplined. So how do I get disciplined? Well, practice it. Practice it in the gym. So if you're someone who's not training, lifting weights, I've figured out like all the studies and all the stuff show that the Stronger you are, the more muscle, the mass you have. Essentially, at most sports, like 90% of sports, you're gonna be way better off, way better off.
Speaker 1:And it's not like you're training to lift, to be a bodybuilder and Build, like make yourself an abs into an absolute brick shit, else just massive like. It's so unrealistic because it takes 10 years to get there, especially without drugs. It takes 10 years to build a body that you extremely proud of. 10, 6 to 10 years of hard training and meal preparation on time to build that body and you got to be training like an Absolute animal, not miss any sessions. So for the normal person who just wants a an awesome physique, all right, you just want an awesome physique that looks good. That's not completely huge, it's train Minimum three to four times a week, every single week. Get your ass into the gym, no matter what sport, no matter what it is that you're playing. The beneficiary, the the benefits of lifting weights and putting your body under stress is incredible.
Speaker 1:Now, when it comes to discipline, if you dedicate and commit yourself to training in the gym, lifting weights in a certain way, whatever it is is, you've got to stick and commit to that, and that's how you train your discipline by showing up every single day, every single week, getting into the gym and when you and when you know that you can do that. That also gives you the consistency to show up in your business, for example. I work with a lot of people who get carried away and motivated by their business, their workaholics, and they just become obsessed with, with work, and they end up putting their work before themselves. And what that looks like to me is just skipping out in the gym and I'll skip the gym one day, second day, and then they'll go to the gym and I'll skip it for a week next week and I'll skip it for two weeks. Then we got to start working through and get them to communicate their own boundaries and and be disciplined with their practice of going to the Gym.
Speaker 1:Now what happens is when they show up and they notice that they're being flaky in that area for themselves going to the gym, they start being flaky everywhere else in their business. Whoa right, it starts locking, you know. It starts unlocking all of these habits and routines and now they feel like they're always chasing something instead of being head of the curb. When they aren't disciplined and they have got their routine, they have. It's a check. That's when they, you know, do really well and I get really proud of that when that happens and very proud for myself to do this, very proud of myself to be able to do that as well.
Speaker 1:So If you're not disciplined and you want to be more disciplined, it starts with being extremely disciplined in the gym. And if you are disciplined and you extremely disciplined in the gym and you're undisciplined everywhere else, then there is a purpose lacking, and that is another conversation that we'll have. What I can tell is let you know If you're lacking purpose and you aren't disciplined in the gym and not disciplined anywhere else, that is the first thing to find for sure. So that is essentially it an understanding and listening to your body within the process. So I understood with my own personal body of being.
Speaker 1:I went to discipline with a gym and I was not disciplined with my recovery and that ended up leading to a long-term injury which lasted a long period of time. However, that injury took 12 years to build up. Just FYI guys 12 years. Do I regret that injury? No, that injury is not a regret at all. I actually learned so much from that injury and I was actually extremely thankful for it and really appreciative for it, because I Will never get injured like that ever again and everything is so sorted out and I feel so much more disciplined with everything that I want to do. So I hope that has given you some really good insights. I hope that has motivated you to go to the gym more often and protect the gym with your boundaries, because that's also. It's not only like discipline and grit that you're training. It's also Encompassing your own boundaries and keeping them there, like being able to text, like your partners, being able to text your loved ones, been able to text your workers, your employees and Be now to commit boundaries and being like no, this is what I train.
Speaker 1:I remember even when I worked at a white collar first thing I went in like for the interview, was definitely a prime candidate for it and I said to them hey, it's like two things I absolutely love on this work which would make it so much easier for me and I'll work better than anyone else. One I can eat four times a day, like that's what I want to do either my desk and do it eight, four times a day. To want to train in the middle of the day, like if I'm coming to work really early, I'll work later. Whatever it is, I just want to train in the middle of the day because for me, catching the train, riding the bike, do what he's getting in here I'm gonna need that's gonna make me feel really good about myself and that locked me in and I was like one of the best employees I want a whole bunch of awards and innovated some things in the company that had never been Innovated before, and that's because my routines and habits were extremely on point.
