| 0:05.7 | podcast. As always, I'm your coach and host Josh here with his co-host and co-coach KG and I'm in |
| 0:11.7 | the house. Coming at you with Motivation Monday. If you are new to our podcast, this is just a time |
| 0:17.1 | where we answer your questions submitted to us over Instagram, share our favorite |
| 0:21.5 | quote of the week, share a client who's just done incredibly well and try to impart some of the |
| 0:25.8 | wisdom and secrets that's really generated amazing transformation for them so we can make |
| 0:30.3 | that happen for you. You know, obviously learning from other people is such an important thing, |
| 0:34.7 | right? Obviously through these quotes, through this transformation. And then, you know, what a great way to just answer questions that are relevant and that are on everyone's mind. So, and we want to do it, you know, kind of laid back, provide some motivation, you know, provide some laughs, you know, so sit back, enjoy, grab a coffee. And we're going to jump right into it with Coach KG's quote. Let's get it. So yeah, my quote for this week, and I heard it from a podcast, Ed Milet. I always recommend him. He's one of the, you know, top podcasters, at least for like mindset that I really, really like. He said in it, change is 50% mental and 50% environmental. And I thought that was pretty cool because he kind of got a little rhyme going there. |
| 1:11.3 | And it just reminded me that, you know, when it comes to change, especially within a new year, I know a lot of people are trying to change and make these different habits and stuff. And, you know, I love how he kind of broke it down like very well. I always talk about mindset. And I think, you know, a lot of it comes down to the mindset and just like the mentality that you have. |
| 1:27.4 | But then I loved how he just really included the other 50% being environmental. |
| 1:30.7 | And that you have. But then I loved how he just really included the other 50% being environmental. And that just really reminds me of like, you know, this year like we always talk about the circle of five and you know the power of, what's that term that we use? You're the closest friends that you have. Yeah, the rule of five. That's what I was looking for. And I loved how he said 50% environmental, right? So, you know, who you surround yourself with and just, you know, kind of the actions that you take around that definitely make such a big difference. So yeah, once again, change is 50% mental and 50% environmental. Yeah, I think that's pretty awesome. You know, the environment you're in is so important. And, |
| 2:01.1 | you know, very often even we talk a lot about organizing and optimizing your environment, right? You know, even something as little as making your bed, right? When you make your bed first thing in the morning, you're saying, I'm going to get stuff done. And when you go to bed at night, you can just jump in there, you know, you don't have, oh, I got to make it all nice, or, you know, you sleep with one |
| 2:17.1 | cover over your leg, one off, and you're uncomfortable the entire night, right? And even your |
| 2:20.7 | workspace, like, you know, you don't have, oh, I got to make it all nice, or, you know, you sleep with one cover over your leg, one off, and you're uncomfortable the entire night, right? And even your workspace, like, is your workspace optimized? You know where everything is. If you have a home gym, same thing. Like, do you have the space to perform the movements you want to perform, or are you making it unnecessarily difficult to yourself? So I think that's pretty cool, and I think that's a really great quote at my let is definitely a beast um we're going to jump into mine so i think that is pretty cool and i think that's a really great quote |
| 2:34.3 | ad my let is definitely a beast um we're going to jump into mine and i think this is really |
| 2:38.8 | applicable being that it is a new year hopefully everyone is still cooking with those goals and |
| 2:43.3 | staying strong you know usually this is about where people start to fall off but obviously if you're |
| 2:47.9 | listening this podcast you're ahead of everyone else and we're confident you can keep doing this. And this quote is definitely something to keep in the back of your mind |
| 2:54.5 | because it is going to help you keep powering through. And the quote is that motivation gets you |
| 3:00.2 | started. Good habits keep you going. It's like brushing your teeth or showering. I just do it and I just |
| 3:06.0 | do that about my entire life. And this wasn't |
| 3:09.4 | so much a quote as it was something. Well, I guess it is something someone said in a motivational video. But even just let's start, motivation gets you started. Good habits keep you going. Right. So use the motivation you have right now. It's the start of the year. It's new. It's novel. It's exciting. right but by continuing to make it a habit that's what's going to keep you going like we've |
