Discipline

Do one thing today that you know you should do, continue that every day until you don’t even have to think about it then add another thing. Let them become habits and watch your life improve. Motivation is fraudulent, discipline is key. We can all achieve our dreams with one constructive choice at a time. Get uncomfortable and get to work.

How to Create a Wellness Plan

Wellness, therefore, is an ongoing process: a journey. A wellness plan is focused on your practices within that process, applying your learning forward and integrating what you’ve learned into a positive and proactive sense of yourself. So think of this as a process of moving towards wholeness as a person, with less self-rejection, shame, and blame. Along your wellness journey, you might discover some goals or inspiration that leads you to a training program, which then becomes part of your wellness journey and is woven into your wellness plan.

The Burn Out

Fatigue, short term memory loss, increased stress, similarities to feeling delirious, forgetfulness, trouble sleeping, unregulated emotions, and brain fog are all symptoms we may experience when we are burnt out. If we were to put it into more simpler terms, that point where you are just sitting there and thinking to yourself, “Fuck man I’ve had enough. I don’t know how much more I can keep doing this”.

How to Use Your MyZone for Better Recovery During Your Training Session

So how long should you rest between sets? The answer depends on your goal. Rest periods are based on how the body produces the energy to perform work during training.

Continuing the Conversation

It doesn’t only affect military personnel or Veterans. It includes everyone, from first responders to the normal average person. It breaks my fucking heart, if I am going to be honest. It never really gets easier to process. The sadness and sorrow from the loss, aches with us for a lifetime.

How Stress Affects Our Wellness

One of the most important things we can do to take care of ourselves is to manage stress, even if you can’t control the source of it.
The primary stress hormone is called Cortisol. Cortisol biologically runs through us in many ways. Stress is a part of our make-up and sometimes it isn’t a bad thing. This can motivate us, keep us alert, and challenge us. However, more times than most, it can negatively affect our bodies, our brains, and our wellbeing.

Heart Rate Training

The best part about using your MYZONE is that MEPs don’t have to happen in the gym. Being active in whatever way you love all adds up. The majority of our athletes in fact get their MEPs outdoors – which has even MORE added benefits like boosting mood and alleviating stress. Studies show that people who spend at least 120 minutes in nature a week report higher psychological well-being than those who don’t.
