Mobility – Couch Stretch

It’s funny, I’m about to turn 37 and I’ve been having more and more conversations with my friends lately that center around which body parts are hurting or sore.  And I wish I could say we were having these conversations because of some great/crazy workout we had done or because we had some epic adventure…

Who are you surrounded by?

Most people are okay with being okay.  Most people are okay complaining with coworkers at the coffee pot or the watercooler.  Most people are okay with being a good husband and/or father.  Most people are okay with indulging in unhealthy habits.  Most people are okay with punching the clock.  Most people are okay with being…

It’s about where you are going

I was having lunch with a friend last week and we were talking about our kids, life, business, families and the whole bit.  It’s funny how you can do things that you know are good for you and you don’t realize why or how until you start talking out loud to people.  Hence, the importance…

Nike was correct

Whether you’re “in a funk”, unfocused, or just not feeling it.  Often the best cure is to just do it.  Just get out there at do it.  Whatever “it” is.  You’re not always going to feel motivated.  When those times arise is when you better hope that the habits you’ve instilled hold up and you’re…

My focus this election and future elections

I watched a portion of last night’s debate.  And I’m not sure why I even spent that time watching these two candidates debate about issues that I do care about but I know I disagree with them over.  I am a Libertarian and I do realize that a Libertarian candidate has a long way to…

Work with purpose

Why do you wake up early, get dressed nice, leave your family, and go to work every day?  Likely to provide for said family.  Or to support your activities.  To move up the corporate ladder.  To reach a goal.  We all have various reasons for working.  But what gets you up every day to do…

Shake up the routine

I’m in a funk.  I don’t know why but it’s been going on for a couple months now.  I’m not sticking to my morning routine.  I’m not exercising like I once was.  I’m not laser focused at work.  And the worst part is, I don’t know why.  I am a huge believer in morning routines….

Emotions will cause you to lose

Emotions.  So important to acknowledge and understand but even more important to be in control of.  I was reminded of this tonight.  My 7 year old daughter stayed up too late, my fault because I had to watch my Broncos lose to the stinking Chargers, and was overly emotional and tired.  I attempted our regular…

Learn from others, don’t try to be others

When I think about this or speak about this it is typically in a business mindset but, like many lessons I’ve learned through business, it translates to all aspects of life.  There a lot of people I very much respect in the business world and I follow their blogs, social media, read their books, and…
