Unlocking the Power of Mental Fitness for Better Personal Development and a Happier Life - Full Session 1

What’s mental fitness, and why does it matter when it comes to personal development?

In this episode, Mike welcomes coach Travis Ramsey to share his thoughts regarding mental fitness, how it’s connected to physical fitness, and how you should approach change to build a happier, more stress-free, and fulfilling life.

• Mike discusses a panic attack episode he got while diving and connects it to a near drowning incident from his childhood.
• Travis shares that one of the keys to mental fitness is choosing what to focus on: the things you can control, affect, and change.
• Travis touches upon the fact that physical and mental fitness are interconnected and that the body becomes a sort of “scorekeeper” for your emotions.
• Travis and Mike go over the importance of listening to your instincts and how to know when something is – or isn’t – right for you.
• Travis breaks down the definition of fitness and looks at the components of mental fitness, as well as the role breathing plays.
• You probably know it by yourself: change is hard. Travis unpacks the concept of ‘why change is hard’ and shares some powerful insights.
• True, we tend to be our harshest critics… but is that a good thing? Travis discusses why that isn’t the case, and what judgment of yourself actually does when it comes to change.
• Sometimes, change means getting rid of the old to make room for the new. Think about the word breakthrough for example. You'e breaking through something. Travis illustrates how to approach that and talks about the key role awareness has.
