329. How To Be Awesome At Creating A Totally New Healthy Normal
How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
I feel like there is this shift in what used to be the habits and routines of “extreme biohackers” or “health gurus” and now those same things have become part of a lifestyle that people are adapting to make it their new healthy normal. What we eat, how we move, what we focus on, how we approach health & supplements & body recovery, having a low stress lifestyle - all of it. This is - my opinion - the best ever cultural shift… because it makes us all healthier, happier in our day to day because we feel great and we will live longer and age better....

326. How To Be Awesome At Recognizing Aging VS. Neglect
How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
The craziest thing that I’ve learned over the last year of reading and re-reading aging and longevity books is that much of what we think is natural aging is actually neglect. My goal in this episode is to reframe what we assume or are told is “natural aging” or “just getting older” and show all the small things that we might be neglecting over time. This whole concept is so empowering!! Rather than feeling like we aren’t in control of how we age, we realize that we are actually in control of so much of it. Focusing on all the tiny things we...

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
This episode is all about documents your highs in life, so you can create more of them. As a person who’s thought a lot about joy and happiness and fulfillment - if we just try to simplify all of that - I really think it comes down to stringing as many awesome days together as you can.

info_outlineEvery year around my birthday I’m like, ok, what’s the secret unlock at this age? Like what have I learned and what I am doing that makes the biggest difference in my life?
This year, that skill that I’ve unlocked in myself this ability to turn what feels like the worst thing, into the best thing.
In a very practical and realistic way.
So aside from anything really really sad in life, this strategy allows you to get out of thinking and saying how much this sucks or is unfair or is the worst thing that could happen. And flipping it to- how could this become the best thing?
I’m going to fully explain it because once you set yourself up like this - it’s crazy how you can see the same situations completely differently.
It’s saying to yourself, this sucks, and it’s not at all what I wanted. But, how could it actually be the best thing?
You have to listen to this full episode - it’s 20 minutes or so that will change the way you react when things go sideways.
Things that are awful - like getting fired or someone breaking up with you or you don’t get the promotion or don’t get into the college or high school that you wanted. You sprain your ankle and can’t workout for 3 months and it’s your favorite thing..
This is what we know for sure…
Bad things happen.
People dont know how to cope.
And they allow one bad thing to snowball into more.
THIS IS THE UNLOCK!
Bad things suck.
The only thing worse is letting one bad thing ruin many good things.
One bad thing happens and the way you operate afterwards is what more bad things happen.
Because really… things aren’t good or bad- they just are.
It's becoming anti fragile as we go.
People often dont know how to cope with bad stuff.
Thats how you end up with this weird spiral with more bad things happening.
People dont know how to manage their emotions so they just react.
The more I try to create space between how I feel and what I do, the more I've been able to control my outcomes in situations.
It’s a superpower, I’m telling you. The next time something in your life sucks, ask yourself, how can this actually be the best thing ever?
