Fitness Behavior

In this episode I have an interview with the authors of 'The Brave Athlete - Calm the f*ck down and rise to the occasion' Simon Marshall and Lesley Paterson. They share many of the areas that athletes need to develop on the mental side of their game and the tools that help them progress. 

When we have times of struggle in our lives there can be destructive behaviours that come out. These can have a massive cost on our lives, on both a surface and deeper level. For some people these destructive behaviours can keep them in a negative place for the majority of their day to day life. If we know this is what we do we need to make this an area to work on. In this episode I dig deep into this topic and address the idea of 'minimising the damage' of your destructive times.   

Most of us have limits in certain areas of our lives. If we could overcome them we could be open to actions that would have a massive impact on our path forward. In todays episode I talk about how we can 'fake it till we make it' in these areas by using tools that build experieneces that in turn build confidence. If you know you limit yourself this is for you.

Recently I've released a 3 Free video series as a part of My 5k Dream. As a part of this I ask people what is their biggest fears around trying to run 5k.

On this show I dig into the topic of self-efficacy. It's an area that gives a lot of insight into how to create change in the areas where you may stay away from in your life.   

Often we have areas of our lives that we are trying to improve on, so we develop a plan to improve in these areas. While this is a good idea it seems that there needs to be a deeper level of thinking before we get to the planning stage, we need to understand what is the real problem we need to solve. On this episode I go deep into this topic and share some interesting experiences, that I have had recently, that have taught me a lot about this.  On the show I mention my new product, My 5k Dream. Go to www.my5kdream.com to download my free Cheat Sheet - The 7 Proven Steps for women between the ages of 35-55 to achieve the amazing goal of running 5k! 

When you think about your mind space, how much time do you feel you waste in your life on areas that aren't that important to you in the big picture? If you had a switch that could shut off 'wasted thinking time' in your life and would allow you to be free to use your mind energy in ways that were empowering for you and your world, how would this be different to your current experience? On this episode of The Bevan James Eyles show I dig deep into this topic and I give some tools that can help you move to a place where you are spending more your mind energy on the right areas for your life. 

On this episode I share my thoughts on how we prioritise our life, dealing with change, and I challenge you to think about how you can allow others to be themselves when they are around you.

Do you have people in your life who seem to put up resistance whenever you are trying to grow? These people can have a massive influence on your success and how you perceive yourself. On the latest episode of The Bevan James Eyles Show I talk about the concept of 'Protective Resistance' - how it can work against you and how you can deal with it so you can continue to grow in your life.
