Dr. Lara Pence says: Stress is something that we all encounter and learning how to be resilient to stress can be one of your most important skills. It’s important to remember and consider that stress isn’t going away anytime soon. Often we imagine that “life will get easier” but sometimes it just doesn’t. What does get easier? Our ability to manage and become more resilient. How do we do that when it comes to stress? It all starts with acknowledging and accepting stress. It’s not going away so let’s embrace it. And then we move into physical and mental fuel that can keep you accelerating during stress. LESSONS: Move into a state of radical acceptance when it comes to stress. It’s not going away so develop a mantra around it. Make sure your physical health is on point. Fuel your mind with content that makes you feel resilient and more capable of handling the stress that is on your plate.

Building Resilience Around Stress with Dr. Lara Pence

Mark Pattison was catching touchdown passes in the last minutes of games to stadiums of 100,000 plus thousand people. Playing football at a high level taught him how to think big and step into fear. When his NFL career ended, what was next? It’s not easy to leave a job and identity like that. After a pivot to what became a successful marketing and import, export business - Mark Pattison decided that how things looked from the outside mattered less than how he felt on the inside. He wanted to truly follow his passion for the mountains. Here is where his Seven Summits mission began, to attempt to be the first NFL player to successfully hike the tallest mountain on each continent. Today he is 6 mountains in. He was preparing to summit Everest this summer, but just like many of us, COVID-19 changed his plans <a href= "https://www.markpattisonnfl.com/category/blog/">https://www.markpattisonnfl.com/category/blog/</a> .

A Spartan's guide to facing crisis & COVID-19 - Be safe, strong & productive

One of the best ways to build confidence is to utilize your fear of something and move through it with courage. Although some believe that courage is the absence of fear, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Courage is about being afraid but doing anyway - and from this we build confidence because we can reflect on that which we have accomplished and create a library of moments in which we see our greatness arise. Reality testing is another great way to build and tap into confidence that might already be there. By truly asking yourself questions like, What am I good at?, and seeking truth in our reflection we can create opportunities for us to have perspective on our strengths. LESSONS: Courage builds confidence, and courage is at play when we are afraid of something but we do it anyway. Try to use your fear as an opportunity for confidence building and use positive self-talk to get you through. Reality testing is a very healthy way to also build confidence. Reality testing includes taking a deep look at what you feel vs. what is fact.

Questions & Answers with Joe De Sena

Host Dr. L says: There is a saying that God Gave Us Two Ears and One Mouth for a Reason. The notion: That we were born to listen more than we were to talk. In today’s society, the ever-present social media platform has given many a vehicle to use their voice, put out their message, and be heard. And, at the same time, as a society we are losing the art and skill of listening when our focus becomes ‘what can i say?’ instead of ‘how can I listen?’ In order to building back up the skill of listening, we must practice listening by being mindful about how we relate with others, and through truly dropping our own ego when we are in a position of listening. LESSONS: Building the skill of listening requires a mindful approach, one in which we are paying attention and working towards true engagement. Try being present with whom you are listening to by avoiding thinking about what you are going to say next or how you might sound and just practice hearing what they are saying. Engage in perspective shifting and cognitive flexibility by listening to podcasts or other audio sources that challenge your own position.

Mini: Listening for Learning with Dr. Lara Pence

Doctor, Lawyer or failure - those were the 3 options David Meltzer's mother laid out for his future. After seeing his mother’s financial struggles, he picked a fourth - RICH. Straight out of the gate he was phenomenally successful, living the proverbial dream, until the walls came crashing down in 2008. He had lost his center. Lucky for him - his wife called him out. This shift had him reassess his values and shift his focus to 4 central principles: gratitude, forgiveness, accountability & inspiration. He realized that it’s all about attention to intention and the most important thing is to help others. His mission: make a lot of money to help a lot of people and have a lot of fun.

Mini: Why You Choke

The morning is one of the most important times of the day. It’s when we set our intentions, decide what tasks require our time and energy, and establish a foundation of perspective that will guide us throughout the next 12 hours. So doesn’t it make sense to treat this time with care? We think so. There are three things to keep in mind when your eyes open and you step out of that bed (on the right side that is!). First, what can you do for your body? How can you activate the physical parts of yourself that will be called upon during the day and awaken your body? Next, what do you plan to do for your brain? How will you activate a mindset that can hold for the entire day? And lastly, what is the best next step that you plan to take to move your decisions and responsibilities forward? LESSONS: Morning time is critical for you to set intentions for the day and start off on the right foot. You have the ability to control your response to the day so begin my controlling your actions in the morning. Keep these 3 areas in mind: Body - plank pose, wall sits, stretching, burpees? How will you awaken your physical being in the morning? Brain - journalling, favorite podcast, excerpt from a book? How will you awaken your mind? Best Next Step - you’ve got a bunch of decisions that will need your attention so what is the best next step that you can take so ensure you are making the right choices?

How will you activate a mindset that can hold for the entire day? And lastly, what is the best next step that you plan to take to move your decisions and responsibilities forward? LESSONS: Morning time is critical for you to set intentions for the day and start off on the right foot. You have the ability to control your response to the day so begin my controlling your actions in the morning. Keep these 3 areas in mind: Body - plank pose, wall sits, stretching, burpees? How will you awaken your physical being in the morning? Brain - journalling, favorite podcast, excerpt from a book? How will you awaken your mind? Best Next Step - you’ve got a bunch of decisions that will need your attention so what is the best next step that you can take so ensure you are making the right choices?

Mini: Making a Morning Routine that Works with Dr. Lara Pence

Being left behind at a young age by parents searching to create a better life might be what drove Raul Villacis to become a real estate millionaire… but with that success came new challenges. When life finally became comfortable, he lost his edge. Raul has covered a lot of ground. For him the solution starts with his unique morning ritual and the decision to live every day like a hunter. Those are the secret oil and sharpening stone that keep his razor-sharp edge.   What about balance? For Raul it’s a myth. In this interview, he explains to Spartan founder and CEO Joe De Sena how he integrates everything 100%, how he takes life 100 days at a time and why digging deep into emotional pain is so important! Want to win and bring it to the Next Level? You must be willing to make sacrifices!

Mini: The Fear Guru tells you how to Own Your Day

When you’ve got something big on the horizon that matters to you - a race, a presentation at work, a meeting with your boss - it’s important to go into it with a strategy in mind so that you can be as successful as possible. The Three C’s of Success are one way to enter into the arena of an experience with confidence, courage, and clarity. Each principle will give you that extra edge that you’re looking for as the nerves and insecurity begins to stir. LESSONS: Moving into something that matters to you with a strategy is always an important tactic to consider. Try these 3 C’s to Success: Confidence : Building confidence through a positive affirmation or mantra. Courage : Try to imagine you’ve completed the task and the primary gain that you will experience. That will help you have courage and not let fear hold you back. Clarity : Clearing your mind of those negative thoughts and insecurities is key. Imagine that they are clouds drifting by or cars zooming past on the highway. Don’t get too attached!

Mini: What are your FEAR “tells”?

Host Dr. L says: Undoubtedly, you will be asked in your lifetime to give advice. This may come from a family member, a friend, a colleague, or perhaps even a stranger. What’s important to remember is that giving good advice isn’t always considering what you might do in that situation and then providing feedback. The best advice is actually given when you consider the source - who are you giving the advice to, what is their history, and what experiences in theif life might shape how they move forward? We need to drop our own ego when we are in an advice-giving position and really step in THEIR shoes. Not live in your own. LESSONS: Advice isn’t always easy to give because we are often projecting our own experience onto that which we provide. Considering the source of who is requesting the advice and what might be a good step for them to take is considerably different than what might be what you would do. Drop your ego, try to really put yourself in their shoes, and encourage accordingly.
