What's going on everyone? Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all happy podcast.

As always, I'm your coach and host Josh here with The Big Homie.

His co-host and co-coach KG and I'm in the house.

And we're talking mindset today. Me and Kyle are really excited for this episode.

I actually planned it last week and I've been itching to film it.

And I think it's going to just be the best episode ever because when I'm this excited to film it, like me, oh, we're just pumped to get into it. So buckle up. This is going to be a killer ride. We haven't done like a mindset dedicated episode in a while, but mindset connects everything. If you have the wrong mindset, things aren't going to click. They're not going to come together and you're not going to get those results you want. So we're coming at you with six changes you need in your life to live a happier life. And this is going to get right to the root. So buckle up. Here we go. So number one is to stop being a complainer and to take ownership of your life. So this is a really tough one. You know, this is something where I think we all do it in some form or another, but we really

got to evaluate. You know, am I taking ownership for the things that don't go well for myself or

am I blaming others? And we've spoken about this before, but even on a small level, right? I show up

late and I go, hey, Kyle, sorry, there's an accident. Traffic's horrible.

I'm not owning up to that, right? Like, there are things that I can do. I can, you know, in my phone, like if it was very serious, like if I needed to be there on time, I'd be looking on my phone, you know, putting in Google Maps, is there an accident or not? Is there an alternate route I can take? You know, like it's just so important we own it.

Or I'm overweight because my parents fed me bad food.

Or I can't go to the gym because my schedule is too busy, right? It's just no one likes hearing someone who complains and won't take any ownership for their life or their circumstance. And it's not to say bad things can happen, right? Like, you can truly have everything go against you. You could Google Maps it. You can aim to be there on time. You can have your car breakdown. Like, things do happen. Don't get me wrong. But at the end of the day, you got to take ownership sometimes. Same example. Maybe my car broke down because I didn't go get my car service when I needed to six months ago, right? Like, you know, once you start approaching your life as, you know, things happen, problems come, but they can be overcame and solved. And I'm struggling with my fitness right now, so I'm going to get a coach or, you know, right now I'm just not feeling discipline. So I'm going to reach out to a buddy and how I'm holding me accountable or I'm going to get a dedicated routine, you know, like when you take ownership of your life and you go, hey, this is my life, I can actively change my situation, whether it be physical, financial, mental, relational. It's very freeing in a sense because

that person that is a victim to everyone else feels like they have no control and they're just on this

passive ride where nothing's working out and their life is just, you know, not amounting to what they

want. So actively say, you know, even though it's uncomfortable, how can I take ownership? How can I, in every little situation, do better myself, put it on myself because then you can really find solutions instead of just blaming others. Yeah, I love that. And I think one of the reasons why I'm like the happiest I've probably ever been just in general, I mean, there's a number of different things, but I'd say one of them just gives me a lot of peace is knowing that I'm at complete control of whatever happens in my life. And, you know, I'll be completely honest. I'd say for, and Josh has known me for quite a few years. I think I personally, when I first started everything, like I was definitely a victim, right? I had the victim mentality. I kind of would, you know, just kind of like not own up to things, right? You know, it's kind of like something happens. It's not like, oh, I could have done that better. It's just like, oh, it's because of this person or it's because of that person or it's because of that resource or it's because of that. but like, hey, I could have gotten a new laptop. I could have, you know, I could have just not let this thing keep building up, keep building up. And then anyway, so I could talk about that for days, but even like one small example is, you know, it just had snowed recently. Well, the day that we're filming this and, you know, as we know, when snow comes, more traffic. So I, you know, before I left to go to Josh's,

we meet up in 9.30. I didn't want to be late. I look to see. in this and you know as we know when snow comes more traffic so i you know before i left to go to

josh's we meet up in 930 i didn't want to be late i look to see how the traffic is to make sure hey do i need to spend some extra time like one of my biggest pet peeves is you know just someone who's constantly late and i hate being late it causes stress for me so i made sure there was no time at it okay cool i can leave you know right at the right time and i'm good to go but like it's like

those small things that we can always control at least So I made sure there was no time at it. Okay, cool. I can leave, you know, right at the right time and I'm good to go.

But like, it's like those small things that we can always control, at least for the most part. It's not always going to be perfect. That really make a big difference. So anyways, enough about that one. Number two is just stop waiting, do it now, make the change. And this is something that, you know, once again, it's been years and years just trying to perfect all these things.

Like I made a story the other day.

I had been writing down my goals actually daily for. And this is something that, you know, once again, it's been years and years just trying to perfect all these things.

Like I made a story the other day. I had been writing down my goals actually daily for the past seven years. And I shared that.
