Strength Training For the Mind

strength-training-for-body-and-mind

The mind is a powerful tool that can work for us or against us.  I think for most of my life it has worked mostly against me.   My thoughts have been more harmful to me than helpful.  More fear based, than love based.  Can you relate with me? 

I made a decision I am not going to live my life that way anymore.  God doesn’t want us to live a life of fear.  God is love and only loving thoughts come from Him.  Every other thought that enters our mind that is not love based is a lie and we have to r…

Get Fit From the Inside Out

We all have strongholds in our life.  We all have areas in our life where we personally struggle.   For many people it’s there weight and addiction to food.  The hard part about a food addiction stronghold is that it is highly visible.  It’s usually shows up as excess body weight and often times obesity. 

I have my own strongholds in my life, it’s just not as visible.  I have my nutrition and fitness down to a science, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t relate to someone who struggles with their …

Go for God (and Break through the Chains)

GO-FOR-GOD

I recently started to dig back into reading one of my favorite books from one of my favorite spiritual teachers.  The book is called A Return to Love:  Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles by Marianne Williamson. 

We all have our areas where we struggle in life and we have to break through barriers and self-limiting beliefs.   In her book, Marianne recounted a story about a woman who had lost a huge amount of weight.  When Marianne asked her how she did it, she replied, “I aske…

Fall in Love with Feeling Alive

I just completed a golf certification called Tathata Golf.   Tathata means, “suchness,” a sense of complete understanding and all knowing.   It’s about the mind, body and swing connection.   What I love about this program is that it is so much more than just getting better at golf, it’s about getting better at life. 

The founder, Bryan Hepler, in one of the deeper discussions was talking about falling in love with feeling alive and the energy it brings.   He said it is so much more than being o…

I Failed...But it's OK!

My latest adventure to Fort Collins started about 3 months ago.   After resigning from my 6 figure pharmaceutical job in Orlando, I took the leap of faith to move to Fort Collins, Colorado with the plan of building my own health, fitness, nutrition and golf coaching practice.  I came here with clarity, peace and a great sense of adventure all the while embracing the great unknown.    I had a complete sense of freedom.    

Then I was thrown a little curve-ball.  I was offered a position as the f…

Embracing Uncertainty

embraceuncertainty

“Uncertainty is the mark of a spiritual life.”  This is a quote from one of my favorite authors, John Eldredge.   The amount of risk you are willing to take is a reflection of how much you trust God. 

Embracing uncertainty has certainly been a journey for me.  It has taken me many years to get to the point of being courageous enough to take a huge risk.  If you have been following my journey you know I recently moved to Colorado after leaving my 6 figure job in pharmaceuticals along with all of…

Are You Still Dreaming?

Inthearenablood

Do you remember when you were a kid and you had all of these dreams of what your life was going to be like when you grew up.  I remember as a kid all I ever dreamed of was being a professional football player.  That was all I thought about and I had no doubt in my mind that dream would come true. 

I vividly remember getting my first real football helmet when I was around 8 years old.  It was a shiny purple Minnesota Vikings football helmet with those white and yellow Viking horns on the side.  …

Weight-Loss-Strategies-Logo

We have become a society of over-abundance when it comes to eating.  7 out of 10 Americans are overweight and 4 out of 10 Americans are obese.   Most of the world’s population live in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than being underweight.   Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980.  It is safe to say we have an epidemic on our hands.

As a society we are overweight and obese, but completely undernourished with the influx of processed and fast foods into our wo…
