Episode 81: Avoiding Pain
BioResilience Podcast
Recently I've been getting my best insights from the baseball field. Observing my son's physiology as he was going up to bat, I could tell something was off. Normally a very consistent hitter he has come into a slump and the path to success seemed obvious to me. Looking at his path to success, I found it quite applicable to my own struggles which lie in my point of focus.

Episode 80: Leave It All Out On The Canvas
BioResilience Podcast
As I prepare for my 4th marathon, I was reminded of a story of heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko. I was told one of the reason he was such a great fighter was because he, by design, scheduled months of vacation time after each of his main event fights. Subconsciously, this gave his body permission to effectively "leave it all out on the canvas" as he didn't have to worry about saving anything for a training session the next day. His competitors on the other hand, were back at the gym the next morning. Have a quick listen and see where you may be "saving for tomorrow"...

Episode 79: Knowing Where To Be
BioResilience Podcast
Spending hours on hours at my kids sporting events over the last few months gave me a little time to reflect.

This same concept of knowing where to be (internally speaking) reigns true for adults also. Knowing what state we should be in based on situation can be the difference between a perspective of problems or a...

Episode 75: What a PLAN can do for you
BioResilience Podcast
The idea of a plan sounds too simple to be a key factor in our ability to keep our systems calm and regulated. I'm always looking for ways to shorten the window of time I spend in a sympathetic nervous state. Recently I found, a simple plan, even if its the wrong plan helps give form and purpose to activity. Activity without form and purpose can cause worry, fear, anxiety, stress and more of the things that if not adjusted could lead to long term problems.

Episode 72: Staying Cool Under HIGH Pressure
BioResilience Podcast
Staying cool under pressure is definitely a skill that can and should be developed. Bringing unneeded emotions into a situation usually distracts from executing the plan and can really make a bigger problem out of thing. This past week I was a witness to a dad that had just too much and flew off the handle when his kid accidently spilt a drink. Unfortunately more people act this way and don't know that there is an alternative to an emotional outburst over a tiny problem. Even with situations like that, there are millions more where we get triggered during conversation. In...
