What gets you excited to take on the day and get control of your thoughts, emotions, and actions?
What's your plan?
Now that we're a little older, we need to get focused on exactly what we want.
We don't have time to waste. We need to live every day with a sense of urgency.
Here are 10 things you can start doing (and some you should stop doing) to make this next stage of your life better than you expected.
1. Drown out the negative noise during the early morning "Terror Hour" that we all deal with at times with powerful, positive affirmations.
2. Get your mind to focus on the positive by asking yourself empowering questions first thing in the morning, every morning. No days off.
3. Do at least a little exercise every single day. Do some cardio training every day. This is not only for your body. This is for your mind.
4. Pay closer attention to your eating habits.
5. Program your mind with the social media that you want to program you. Don't let random social media program you and influence you unguarded.
6. Join your local Toastmasters, International speaking group. Attend and fully engage in a meeting once a week for at least six months.
7. Plan your day the night before every single day. Even on the weekends. Do this after you've taken the time to review your day. This is a 10-minute investment of your time.
8. Limit the time you spend listening music. Don't let music program your mind. Don't let music dictate your moods and memories. For every good memory you're reminded of, you're being reminded of the painful times too without your consent. Take control of your thoughts.
9. Write out your "Dream Life" that outlines exactly how you will live out the precious time you have left on this planet. 3 pages minimum. Read it at least once a week. Better yet, make an audio recording of what you've planned in your own passionate voice. Listen to it at least once a week while doing some hard cardio.
10. Start knowing the exact outcome you want before you begin everything you do. Everything.
Live with sense of urgency!
We've got more time behind us than we do in front of us.
It's not too late to get control over your life.
It's better than you expected.

If you can't lose the last 10 pounds or so of body fat no matter how hard you work out, it's because of the way you're eating.
Even if you think you're eating well enough and in a calorie deficit, this short video explains why that's not enough to get the job done.

If youโre like most of the men who listen to this podcast, you have accomplished a few things in your life. But, despite those accomplishments and all of the praise you continually get, youโre still not satisfied. You have a lot of talent. Youโre willing to do the hard work.You just know that you have a lot more to achieve in your life. You have a lot of โunfinished businessโ!
In this podcast, I talk about how youโre not alone if you think about all of the things you still havenโt accomplished or experienced in your life yet.

When you look in the mirror, youโll know what it takes to get from where you are now (Point A) to get to where you want to be (Point B) with more certainty and confidence. It doesnโt matter where you are right now or what your goals are, youโll know what to do.
Then, it will just be a matter of you doing what you know for a long enough period of time. Thatโs a great place to be. Youโll have a better sense of control during the entire process. The most important training, eating, lifestyle, and mindset strategies are all covered.
Youโll know exactly what to do ...
Most older men canโt.
No matter what they say, they canโt.
And, because they canโt, the information you need to hear never gets told.
It goes against the grain.
It gets too much resistance from untrained minds.
So, why bother?
These are just a few of the things that elite, experienced men who workout and look great (and have for a long time) want to tell you, but they know you just wonโt understand.
They know that you are getting the majority of your instruction from undertrained minds. Youโre getting your information from people who worry too much about what other people think. They worry about what the โinternet trollsโ and inexperienced, less knowledgeable fitness experts will say about them.
If you want to get to the next level . . . I mean you REALLY want to get to the next level . . . you need to know what Iโve posted down below.

Today after a warm-up I decided to eliminate pyramiding up in weight and just go for my heaviest weight for 8-10 in squats. That was 225/8, 225/6, and 225/7. Then I applied that same method with incline DB 70/11, 70/10, followed by close grip Lat Pulldowns 125/10, 130/10, 140/7. With a bit more rest between sets I hit my 1st rule. My rule is 60 minutes
