Summary

“We are designed for movement. Athletics is simply an exaggeration of playing.” -Carl Paoli Most of you know that health, fitness, and wellness are important to me. It’s the reason I work out almost every day. I’m constantly mindful of the food I eat, the sleep I get, and the environment I put myself in everyday because it’s key to living an abundant life. If your health is at risk right now, then you know how it holds you back. You’ve got to have the endurance and the stamina to take on life’s greatest challenges. Mastering your health and body will help you have success in your relationships, in your career, and in your personal life. I’m not saying it’s going to help every problem, but it definitely helps. For this mashup episode of The School Of Greatness, I hand picked some of the best body and health experts I know: Ido Portal, Carl Paoli, Wim Hof and Laird Hamilton. They gave me some exercises to get rid of stress, connect to breath, and work out smarter. These are some powerful tools, guys. You don’t have to be an athlete to appreciate it. I’d love to hear what you think about this episode, and how these exercises worked for you – so don’t hesitate to reach out to me on social media and let me know. You’ll be learning how to reconnect with your body on Episode 686. In This Episode You Will Learn: Why the story you tell yourself is more important than reality (5:58) A four minute exercise to eliminate stress (15:42) The importance of controlling your breathing and the effect it has on your entire body (20:08) The importance of challenging your body, putting it to the test, and really listening to the results (20:52)
