Here are some ways to improve life that AREN'T related to your physical appearance. Appearance does matter in some contexts, but they're not the only thing. Sometimes we may lose perspective on this in our pursuit of self-improvement. There may be other, more impactful ways you can strive to improve yourself! In this video, I talk about some ways to improve, how they've impacted me, and some methods I've picked up while working on myself.

Lacking motivation could be "laziness," but it could also be a sign of something deeper.

Here are some thoughts on balancing self-improvement with authenticity! There are 2 perspectives I guess 1.) Don't be yourself. Be better. 2.) Be yourself, but explore new things to learn what "yourself" means. Ultimately, I guess these are roads that lead to similar destinations. Have a wonderful day!

Sometimes it helps to get some clarity before even deciding what long-term changes we want to make! Getting to a relaxed, energized state can really help this. You only need a few hours.

This is a follow up to last year's video on finding friends. I don't claim to be a "dating expert" - do those exist? However, these are things I do wish I knew when I was single. If they can help you, that's great!

I talk a little bit about what I *personally* want from my life and career.  I want to protect and provide for my family and loved ones. I want that possibly more than anything else in the world.  But I also want to give to others and help them freely.  So while providing for my family often involves material goods, I never want to do this through taking from others.  I want to make money through serving the needs and wants of others. I want to provide for my family by providing for...

Learning to forgive others has been one of the most powerful skills for my happiness, success, and mental health. I used to think it was bogus, but a MAJOR turning point for me was learning that forgiveness wasn't necessarily to help others, but to help ourselves. I talk about 2 stories where I was wronged. One was an inconsequential story back when I was in college, and another was a very serious wrongdoing from a case worker at the hospital when my mother was sick. Using these 2...

I get asked a lot about how to deal with loneliness. Unfortunately, like many others, there were times in my life when I felt lonely, deserted, and isolated.    Here are my thoughts on dealing with loneliness.   I mention in the video that it's probably not necessarily our fault if we're lonely. The way our society is constructed has us further apart than we've been in the past.   The benefit of this is that there are places you can find like-minded people and form connections!   On the other...

Here's how to build an audience on social media! An "audience" is just the people willing to listen when you talk. Here's a summary of the video: 1.) Everyone that does business online should have an audience.  a.) Even if you don't want to be a content creator, building an audience will increase brand awareness and customer loyalty. b.) Turning your audience into a community will increase their likelihood of wanting your business. c.) You have to EARN the trust your community gives...

I talk with the wonderful SarahBethYoga about the benefits of yoga, the origins behind the practice, and how  anybody can incorporate the practice into their lives if they choose.

If you need several pots just to feel normal, your relationship with coffee may have become dysfunctional. Coffee still loves you, but you just need to stop being so clingy and give them some room, man.  How much coffee do you drink?   --- For online calisthenics coaching, send me an email at [email protected] :)   Legal Notice: Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program.

Cycling your coffee with your workouts helps bring consistent progress.   This is one of the first videos I recorded for Hybrid Calisthenics. There are many more that I'll slowly upload.  Legal Notice: Consult your doctor before beginning any kind of exercise program.

Taking a walk is a fantastic time to get your scheduled workouts done. A lot of people do one set of an exercise, breathe for a few seconds, then jump right into their exercise.  That's great for endurance, but the ideal interset rest time is longer for building strength and muscle. Taking a walk in between sets helps us loosen up and stay active during our exercise period.  Legal Notice: Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program.

While it may seem cliché, I've learned to respond to hate and negativity with empathy and compassion.  Feeling love for people pushes any hate I have for them out of my heart.  I remember that, more often than not, people are results of their circumstances.   Hate begets hate and abuse begets abuse.   When we understand someone's story, sometimes it seems inevitable that they turned out the way they did.   This doesn't mean we have to excuse and tolerate everything.  Some things are...

Hey friends! How do you manage your stress and anxiety?   Link to the Lily Shirt: bonfire.com/have-a-beautiful-day-lily... This is a video topic I've thought about for a few weeks now. I considered how I face and overcome my own stress. As usual, I don't profess to be an expert on this. People have asked for my thoughts on this topic, and I'm sharing this in the hopes that some people can learn from my experience and mistakes.  I discovered that most of my stress came from doubt and...
