Summary
Host Zach Even-Esh says: 1 night during the Summer I went out for a family stroll and we got some ice cream.
It fired me up SO much because I felt that I was ending my day on a WEAK note.
NO good!
LESSONS:
No matter what happens between the morning and night time, you can ALWAYS start AND finish the day with something Strong & Positive.
Choose something that Benefits YOU & Betters YOU.
It can be 1 set of push-ups, squats or burpees.
Maybe it’s some stretching.
You can also write in a gratitude journal.
Put your phone away during the start and end of the day, this ensures you will do something for YOU!

| 0:00.0 | Spartans, do you ever feel like your day has completely gotten away from you and it's just been completely unproductive? |
| 0:09.3 | Spartans, welcome back to another episode of the Spartan Up podcast. |
| 0:13.1 | I'm your host, Zach Evernesh, coming at you with Spartan Way. |
| 0:17.0 | And in today's episode, I want to talk to you about starting |
| 0:19.9 | and finishing your day strong. |
| 0:22.0 | And I want to confess something a little bit here that really hit |
| 0:25.1 | home for me and show you how I make mistakes I'm human just like all of the other Spartans |
| 0:31.0 | out there so one night my family and I went out for ice cream and |
| 0:35.7 | it was later in the night and I remember after eating the ice cream as we were |
| 0:39.3 | walking back home I said to myself this is is horrible. I feel horrible. This is my last meal of the day and I'm finishing my day eating ice cream. There's no strong finish to my day, which is something I'm not a fan of. |
| 0:53.0 | So when I got home, I decided that I'm going to start doing squats. |

| 1:28.5 | That might be writing in a gratitude journal, which I've spoken about before. |
| 1:32.0 | It's something that you're doing positive for yourself. |
| 1:34.0 | Maybe you want to stretch for a few minutes. Maybe you want to cool down for the rest of the night with some burpees, 10 or 20 burpees. |
