A Recovery Reflection with Dan 🤍 "Reflecting on life from surfing vibrant waves and basking in the sun, to sharing epic journeys and laughs with my best friend and wife, to hearing the sweet call of 'Dad' from my two incredible boys. Yet, amidst these joys, I’ve wrestled with habits that threatened to take it all away. Thanks to the steadfast love and support of dear friends and family, wise guidance from our teacher, Jud, and the Mindshift crew and community, I explore the inner workings of my mind. Learning about operant conditioning and the dynamics of reinforcement helped me see the visceral rewards (or lack thereof) driving my behaviors. Embracing mindfulness meditation cleared the haze, allowing me to truly feel, taste, and smell my experiences, seeing them for what they are. This awakening was pivotal as I began to let go of the habits trying to end my life effortlessly. Now, five years into this journey of renewal, I'm deeply grateful to be here, living and cherishing this beautiful life. Thanks to everyone who has walked this path with me."

First off, a huge round of applause to everyone who successfully navigated through Dry January! 🎉🍺 Whether it was a month of newfound clarity, a health kick, or just a personal challenge, you did it! Now, let me share a bit about my journey. I decided to take things up a notch by embarking on the #75Hard challenge. For those who haven't heard of it, #75Hard is more than just a fitness program; it's a mental toughness challenge, an "Iron Man" for your mind and discipline. What is #75Hard? Developed by entrepreneur Andy Frisella, #75Hard is a 75-day challenge that includes: 1. Two 45-minute workouts per day 💪🏋️: One of which must be outdoors, regardless of the weather conditions. 2. Follow a diet 🥗🚫: No cheat meals and no alcohol. The diet doesn’t have to be specific, but it should be challenging and promote a healthy lifestyle. 3. Drink a gallon of water daily💧: Keeping yourself hydrated is a key part of the program. And to understand what it’s like to p!ss like a horse! 4. Read 10 pages of non-fiction a day 📚: To promote personal growth and learning. 5. Take a progress picture every day 📸: To visually document your journey and see the changes in your body and posture. This program isn't just about physical fitness; it's about building mental toughness, resilience, and discipline. It pushes you to your limits and tests your commitment to personal development. I'm currently on day 31 and still have 44 days to go! It's been an intense journey but incredibly rewarding. The discipline and habits I'm developing are transforming not just my body but also my mindset. Massive shout out to Matt Malcolm for inspiring me to undertake this and my accountability partner Alex Hague for being as daft as committing to do this with me!! Have you ever taken on a challenge like #75Hard? What was your experience like? 💬👊 #75HardChallenge #MentalToughness #DryJanuary #SelfImprovement #FitnessJourney #HealthAndWellness #PersonalGrowth #DisciplineChallenge

Day 26 of my road to 25 pullups challenge. Today I got 11. This is actually the first "pullup bar" I've found since arriving in Brazil, so dropping a couple of reps having not trained the movement in nearly 2 weeks isn't too bad. I'll be honest. I've been indulging a bit the last week but I'm able to accept that this might come with a bit of fat gain. This is something that I have had to work on with myself over a long period of time. We aren't robots, we will deviate from our diet on occasion. As long as we can reconcile with the output of that, then no harm, no foul. And I haven't "lost motivation", which is something you often hear when someone gives up their fitness journey at the first sign of adversity. Motivation is finite resource. I maintain certain principles while deviating to minimise the damage. I make sure to eat lots of fruit and vegetables wherever possible and stick to leaner protein sources primarily. I make sure to get some form of relatively strenuous exercise in every day and walk/move a lot. And I make sure to train enough to at least maintain my muscle mass, just doing whatever bpdyweight excercises I can perform if I don't have access to a gym. I try and get plenty of sleep and get out in nature to manage my stress levels. This is easier than you might think at first while you're on holiday. You just need to be more mindful about the choices you make. If you've recently hit a plateau in your weight loss and are looking to lose those last 10-15 pounds, I'm offering free clarity calls to help you find out where you might be going wrong with your approach and your mindset and getting your momentum going again to reach your potential. Hit me up with a DM "potential" and we can organise a call. #roadto25pullups #pullupchallenge #motivation #fitnessdiscipline #fitnesslifestyle

Tuesday's reminder: Progress over perfection! Stay focused on your progress, no matter how small the steps forward may be. Every choice counts, from adding an extra plate to the bar to choosing a healthier snack. Let's keep pushing towards our goals together! 💥💪 #FitnessProgress #StayFocused #FitnessJourney #Progress
