About Mental Fitness Unscripted

What started as a weekly “mutual mentoring” call in 2020 has become the Mental Fitness Unscripted podcast. Our conversations are never planned, but they ALWAYS challenge and encourage me somehow. You are invited to join us as we talk about Mental Fitness in ways that are sure to sharpen you. Topics include habits, leadership, values, exercise, marriage, parenting, and faith. We need people to encourage us and hold us accountable if we are to be our best. May our brief conversation encourage and inspire you to be a little bit better today.

   S3E19 The Cheat Code to Level Up Your Life

   Remember all the 1980's video games that had the secret codes or tricks to level up your guy, get unlimited lives, or boost your weapons?Wouldn't it be great if that existed in real life?What if I told you there is a real-life cheat code to level up your life; it's available to anyone, and yet very few people will seek it?We're talking about brotherhood.These days, a man is expected to lead his family, build his career, and grow spiritually, all while completely isolated from other men.You weren't built for that, brother.Most guys skip brotherhood out of either pride or ignorance.The pride that avoids brotherhood is usually the quiet kind. "I don't need it." "I got this." "I'm fine." That's pride wearing a humility costume.Ignorant guys don't know what they're missing. They think of brotherhood the same way they think of marriage counseling: emergency use only. This was me.That's like saying "as long as I'm not in the ICU, I don't need to exercise." You're not built to just avoid crisis. You're built to THRIVE.Listen in on our conversation about brotherhood and be inspired to implement the cheat code now.PS Please check out my store via the links below for great deals on my favorite supplements, gear, and travel.

   S3E17 The Pain of Transformation

   Do you like pain? I don't. It hurts. I avoid it as much as possible. Maybe I'm weird. Pain is like the check engine light on your car. It's meant to inform you that something is wrong and needs attention. While ignoring the warning on your car is fine for a while, eventually the car breaks down. Then we find that the repairs are more invasive and expensive than if we had dealt with it early on. Often emotional pain is ignored because that's easier than looking under the hood of our heart to make a repair. But what if by ignoring such pain, we miss the chance to be repaired, renewed, restored to optimal functionality? And what if, by ignoring our pain, we are making the matter worse, which will make our repair more complicated and likely take longer to resolve?That's the mental fitness exercise we discuss in this episode. We offer some helpful illustrations to encourage you to pay attention to the pain. There is another side to pain. If we allow it, today's pain can be tomorrow's blessing.PS: Please check out my store via the links below for great deals on my favorite supplements, gear, and travel.
