A number of years ago, I created my morning routine and it changed me. The way you start your morning influences everything that happens that day. Or at least, the way you interpret the events during your day and what you do next, which ultimately leads to your outcomes. It can be the difference between you being sluggish, unmotivated, unproductive, foggy and reacting to everything that happens, or it could enable you to be switched on, focused, positive, motivated, highly productive, present, intentional and help you respond positively to all that comes up in a way that is in line with your values. I believe that we need to get ourselves ready in the morning from the inside out. The majority of high performers in all fields claim that their morning routine is a key to their success. Change your morning, change your life. In this solo round, I’ll share with you the elements of morning routines used by many of the world’s highest performers.

Sometimes, I think we get it wrong when it comes to saying, "Thank-You". I know that sounds strange, but it's true. We often get something so simple, like expressing our gratitude, wrong. In fact, saying it incorrectly can lead to a reduction in motivation, learning and performance. That's right, it can have an opposite effect to what you are intending. In this solo round, I'll share with you the ways you can make a greater positive impact simply by saying a more powerful "thank-you".

Have you ever noticed that some people just seem to make it? Some people seem to reach the highest level of excellence be It in sporting, business or academia. I talk with our resident psychologist Dr John Barletta about some of the reasons people always seem to make it. When it comes to practicing, practice makes permanent, it doesn’t always make perfect. If we are practicing the wrong thing, that is going to become the norm, it will be hardwired in your bain. Instead, work towards deliberate practice by practicing the right things in the right way, repeatedly. John and I share the habits to create consistent excellence.

Last week I released that I was out of balance in terms of how I was feeding my mind. I was spending a lot of extra time in mindfulness while running and driving, which meant that I wasn’t listening to podcasts or audiobooks. Because of this, I noticed that I wasn’t as driven and motivated to grow my business as much as I had been before … the balance of what I was feeding my mind was off. I’d become more present, but I had stopped learning and being inspired by the podcasts. This reminded me of the incredible power of your thoughts. After all, where you attention goes, your energy flows. When you give your focus to something, that shapes and guides your thoughts and ultimately, your behaviours. Because, your thoughts create your decisions, your decisions create your actions and behaviours, your actions and behaviours create your outcomes. So, change your thoughts, and you will change your outcomes. In this short solo round I'll share with you the four key areas of focus for feeding your mind.

Even despite our best efforts, there are times when we are just not feeling ourselves. We can be more irritable than usual, unmotivated, impatient, negative and feel like we are walking through a thick fog. This happened to me a number of times over the past two weeks while I was on holidays enjoying time with my family. My overall routines (such as sleep, eating, mindfulness and exercise) were way off and this effected me more than I thought. However, there were a number of things that helped me get back to normal (or at less close to normal) again. I call these my RESET buttons. And, the good news is that we can all follow this simple 5 step process to RESET and get back to our better selves again. In this short solo round, I’ll share with you these 5 steps and help you identify your own RESET buttons.

Have you ever found your self working incredibly hard, but not getting the breakthrough or results that you want and deserve? Have you ever been wanting that next promotion, higher mark or to make the sports team of your dream? Even if you know you have the skills and talent to make it, have you found that you never seem to get there? Todays guest can help you take that next step. Dr. Marco Makari was a semi elite sportsman who wanted to play for the team of his dreams, but fell just short of creating that breakthrough into making it onto a professional team. Since then he has turned his passion of sports and first hand experience of just missing out, into a thriving business that helps other athletes realise their dreams. Sometimes when you are too focused on where you want to end up, you forget where you are now in the present. It is much easier to plan your future goals when you know where you currently are. Once you recognise where you are, you can take steps and change habits to make the journey easier. Today’s chat with Marco will give you the steps you needs to create your breakthroughs.

This week, I’ve been thinking a lot about the quote, “Happiness is an inside job. Don’t assign anyone else that much power over your life”. Sometimes, it can seem that happiness is an elusive, magical state of being that only some people can achieve. However, anyone can achieve a deeper, more consistent state of happiness. There is so much research identifying the specific things anyone can do to significantly increase their happiness. In this short solo round, I’ll share with you a number of proven strategies for increasing your happiness.

I know how easy it is to tell yourself stories that hold you back and negatively alter the way you view the world around you. These stories, often created by self-doubt and ego, become our identity. It’s not until we let go of this unhelpful ways of thinking, that we are truly able to be present, live life to it’s fullest and create deep self-worth and inner peace.
Today’s guest knows what it’s like to be blocked by these stories as well as the strength and balance you can gain by overcoming them and mastering your mind.
Steve Willis, also known as Commando Steve from his time as a trainer on The Biggest Loser, shares openly about his struggles, proudest moments and lessons from across his varied experiences.
This chat with Steve will help you overcome unhelpful habits such as self-doubt, the imposter syndrome, craving appreciation of others and the use of negative stories. To do this, he shares with you ways to create even more strength, balance and presence by mastering your mind. -
Why You Should Talk To Yourself In The Third Person and The Power Of Can - Solo Round

The most important conversations you will ever have are the ones you have with yourself. Your internal dialogue shapes the way you perceive and interpret the world around you which then determines the actions you take and the outcomes you produce. For this quick solo round, I dive into two areas of self talk and the small changes you can make to create powerfully positive results. If you are feeling stressed, nervous or anxious, rather than saying “I am stressed” try talking to yourself in the third person by saying, for example, “Dave, what you are feeling is stress.” The more times you say “I am stressed”, the more you associate yourself with that negative emotion, and the stronger it becomes. Instead, when you address it from the third person it distances yourself from the negative emotions. You can also speak to yourself in the third person to help create more positivity in your day. Another thought process I’ve been working on iis replacing “I can’t” with “How can I?” When you say “I can’t”, you are really saying “I don't want too.” This is fixed mindset thinking and shuts down other possible outcomes. The way we can change this to a growth mindset is by saying “How can I?” Allowing yourself to have a growth mindset encourages your brain to move forward and see new opportunities.
