Rise and shine [video]

This sports motivation video contains great advice for anybody and speaks directly out of my soul. There are burning reasons within everyone to get up early, to train hard, work hard, do whatever one loves. You just have to find them and trust your gut.

Even more important is to mute your inner voice of automated excuses. Yes, your brain will find excuses for everything, always. Yes, they seem plausible on the first glance. No, they are not. They are distractions, obstacles that you have to overcome in order to get where you want to go!

The choice between the comfortable and the right thing to do is not always easy, but it gets easier with time. You can train discipline. No more excuses, start your training today!

Fitness motivation from the master himself

If you are talking about fighting as it is, with no rules, well then, baby, you’d better train every part of your body.

Bruce Lee

They say: Don’t skip leg day.

I say: Don’t skip any day!

Legs, Arms, Abs, Back, Core, the list goes on. Training is more than muscles, it is about mindset, coordination, strength, endurance, it has a lot of facets.

And this is not only about training for fighting, of course. It applies to any kind of training and is a good reminder of diversity in the gym (or wherever you may train)

On time management

Hey there!

Recently you asked for some thougts on time management, so I put together some ideas that might help you get better results and actually achieve your goals.

Let’s start off by stating one of my all time favourites: You have the exact same 24 hours a day that anyone else has. Other people are capable of using it, so why shouldn’t you be? 24 hours are plenty of time, it is about how you make use of it.

In order for your time to be used better in the future, here is a list of 10 useful time management tips:

Is it really about not having enough time?

Do we need more time? Or do we need to be more disciplined with the time we have?

Kerry Johnson

Are you sometimes wondering why other people are able to be more productive than you? Why they just seem to achieve more with the same amount of time?
It’s often not because they take more time and drop other things for that, but because they manage their time well.

Time management is a little bit about experience and priorities and a lot about discipline. Managing your time in theory is easy for most of us, but really following through is the hard part.

Start slowly and improve!

Discipline!

Does the day belong to you or do you belong to the day?

The key that will boost your life immediately and sustainably!

Motivation is the start, but if it’s not solidified into discipline, it usually fades away into regret pretty quickly once you realize you never acted on it.

Why do I run this blog? Because motivation often fades away as quickly as it comes.

To manifest it, remind yourself often of it with blogs like these and get disciplined about it!

Use your motivation as an ignition for the motor of discipline to get running!

About getting up early

Hey there!

So today I had to get up pretty early, although I’m pretty sick.
As you can think, the first thing that came to my sleepy mind today was:

“Waahhh, stay in the warm bed, get back to sleep, don’t move!”

Still, I managed to get up and start a beatiful morning, and that was because I had very damn good and motivating reasons to do so.

That made me realise two important truths about getting up early:

Get your act together!

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.
