WEBVTT - Learn mind mastery tricks from an undefeated black belt fighter 🥇 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:07.320 I've always admired the discipline, the skill, the dedication that 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.360 it takes to become a black belt. It really is 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:16.200 one of those achievements that requires full commitment, both from 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.800 a mental and a physical perspective, and a huge part 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:23.200 of that is mindset. So what if we could get 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:26.840 in the mind of someone who had not one, but 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:31.480 two black belts in two different martial arts to understand 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:36.080 how their mindset, training and teaching could now be applied 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:38.920 into your life. Well, we're going to get that opportunity 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:42.519 next with a martial arts legend, a cancer survivor and 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:46.400 truly inspiring public speaker. Then we're going to talk about 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.160 consuming pre workout, whether you've been thinking. 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.280 About using it or you are using it and you're. 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:52.800 Not sure if it's what you should be doing. We're 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:54.840 going to dive into that a little later with a 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.960 question from Kate, just a quick. 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.520 Question about pre workout. Been a bit hooked on it 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.360 and I just want to know how to get off 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.080 of it, Is it worth it, and any other tips 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.840 that you might have if there's a better option pre workout. 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.560 It really is one of those polarizing subjects that I 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:12.800 get a lot of questions about that's going to come 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.560 up a little later on the wood Life, but now 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.440 let's get into the mindset of a martial arts champion. 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.720 Our next guest is a black building karate a kickboxing badass, 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.800 a mindset coach, an author of ten Seconds of Courage 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:53.000 at Nadine Champion. 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:54.480 Welcome to the WOODLFE. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.640 Thanks Sam, I'm really happy to be here today. 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:58.280 So let's start at the start. 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.640 Tell our wood Life listeners how your journey has come 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.440 about and how you became a mindset coach. 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.720 I started doing martial arts when I was a little kid, 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.520 so I was ten years old, and you know, I 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.560 found out very quickly that it's not just the physical 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.000 part of what we do. And that's for I'm sure 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.520 yourself and your listeners as well. It's not just what 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.760 we do physically. It's all of the thoughts that we 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.799 have and the feelings that we bring into what we do. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.359 So I discovered quickly that there was a lot more 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:32.360 to my pursuit my sport in martial arts than I 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.600 thought there was. So I became really passionate about learning 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.720 about that. I watched the Karate Kid movie and decided 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.560 that this is what I wanted to do with my life, 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:44.200 and then I founded mister Miagi about ten years later, 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.240 and he was incredible teacher. His man named Benny the 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:51.560 Jeti Kidas, world famous martial arts master. He's a living legend, 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.160 and I've devoted twenty five years of my life to 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.480 learning what he calls internal training. So that's the mental 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.760 edge that you then apply to all aspects of your life. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.400 But it's also teaching how to deal with emotions, which 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.760 I think is something that is really important these days 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.800 because emotions have become really heightened in the last few years, 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.480 and also bringing out each person, whether they're a martial 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.560 artist or not, bringing out their fighting spirit, because I 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.040 think we're all fighting for something, and often the most 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.240 important fight for any of us to win is the 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:27.799 one in our own minds. 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:29.040 I couldn't agree more. 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.440 It's absolutely if we don't get past that battle, the 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.280 other battles we don't have much success with. How young 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.480 were you when you realized it was mindset and how 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.400 much work did you do on the mental side of 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.160 things versus the physical side of things for your own 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:45.280 personal performance. 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:50.160 I think I didn't understand what it was that I 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.280 was experiencing when I was very young, but I could 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.720 see how it definitely played a role as I went 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.240 into my teenage years. I don't know how your teenage 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.120 years were, but my I'm a little bumpy, so you know, 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.120 I learned what it was to be able to do 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.920 a really good job mentally and achieved things. And I 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.520 also learned what it was to come undone mentally and 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:16.640 not achieve things. So I think those experiences were really helpful. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.800 And then re experiencing them going through life, learning that 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.880 lesson over and over again. It gave me a good 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.880 foundation in it. And then I met somebody in you know, 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.520 in my sense sense, a men's teacher, and he explained 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.680 me to me. And that was the thing that I 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.480 found really interesting. As a young woman in a male 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.440 dominated sport. I would cry. Someone would hit me in 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.120 the nose and I would cry. And instead of having, 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:46.120 you know, the usual response, which is wipe your tears, princess, 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.560 get on with it, he would ask me why are 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.960 you crying? And I'd say, because this happened, well, why 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.000 are you really crying? And what we got down to 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.640 he would ask me again and again and again until 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.760 we got down to because I'm frustrated you've been so 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:05.080 mad you want to cry. You know, it's that drive 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.640 and desire to be better to you know, to be 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.159 good at something, to find something you can be happy 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.680 about and proud of that. You know, whether that's your kids, 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.880 your work, no matter what it is. How do our 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:23.640 emotions and our thoughts play into that? Because you know, 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:28.520 when we're experiencing frustration or emotion, so much of it 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.000 comes from our passion for what we do. 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:32.600 Take us through your journey. 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.279 So you've gone with the help of your sen say 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.600 your teacher, you've gone to the heights of martial arts. 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.000 And then what else has happened during your life that 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:49.200 has helped sort of shape you as an expert in mindset? 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.400 Well, I'm very honest that you would call me a 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.440 mindset expert. I'm still a mindset student in my mind 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.320 you know, I'm teaching and learning at the same time, 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:02.159 just like in martial arts. I went through many years 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:07.640 of learning, getting my black belts, and competing in martial arts. 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:09.480 And I wonder if you will relate to this or 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.599 your listeners will relate to this. I was in my 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.680 comfort zone. Even though I was doing very well externally, 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:16.800 I had a little voice in the back of my 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:21.280 mind that was saying, this is not that hard anymore. 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.680 Maybe you know, if you tried that thing that you're 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.440 scared to try, maybe you could do that too. Or 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:32.120 you know that voice that asks, isn't there more that 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.440 I could do? Or is this all there is? 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:34.680 You know? 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.520 So I was experiencing that even though externally I was 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:41.000 doing pretty well competitively. So I wondered if I could 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.799 go and do full contact competition. It took me about 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.560 five years to say that out loud because I did 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.359 not like getting hit in the face shocker, you know. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.320 So I was holding myself back for a long time, 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.599 even though I wondered maybe I could win a title 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.440 in that if I was brave enough to go that direction. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.279 So I do a lot of work with people on 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.719 that exact process, going from your comfort zone to courage 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.080 to actually taking action on it, because that's the part 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.960 that changes our lives. It's so easy to stay in 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:15.440 your comfort zone. Why wouldn't you It's nice in there, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.240 But you know, it depends what kind of life you 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.880 want to have, and I didn't want to have same old, 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.640 same old. I wanted to try and get the most 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.240 out of my life. So I went into the kickboxing ring, 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.920 I won titles, I had a whole new experience, and 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.040 then right at the peak of my competitive career, I 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.880 was diagnosed with cancer and I ended up spending six 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.880 months having treatment for Hodgkins and foma, and everything that 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.360 I had been through that made me me all of 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.800 the you know, the competitive success, my business doing really well, 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.680 all of these external things being a fit and healthy 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:55.440 person was gone overnight, and it took me some time 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:59.600 to rebuild. But you know, I had some opportunities to 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.559 do some things that did take me some courage coming 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.160 out of that situation that really were completely life changing. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:10.239 So you drew on all of these martial arts experiences 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.400 to help you get through such a hard physical challenge. 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.600 One hundred percent. You know, everything that you've ever been 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.280 through has taught you something. If you go back with 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.960 a pen and paper and write down, this is what 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.880 I went through. Step two, These are the lessons it 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.120 taught me. Step three, this is the meaning that I 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.080 assigned to that moving forward. We've all been through things 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.040 in our lives. The difference is when you think of 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.640 what happened, do you go back and go back into 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.040 the emotions of the moment, because your brain doesn't know 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.280 whether that experience is happening now or if it happened 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.600 ten years ago. When you think maybe you lost someone 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.920 you know, and that wound can be opened again so easily. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.960 Your body can't tell the difference. Your nervous system can't 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.880 tell the difference. So it's not about going back into 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.200 it and reopening all the emotions. It's about going and 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.679 changing the meaning of it so that you can use it. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.800 So that's it's like taking a resilience lesson that you 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.760 can use moving forward. So all of the lessons that 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.240 I'd learn in martial arts I had to use and 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.760 call on just to show up every two weeks and 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:18.200 have chemo. You know, that's that's no fun. So I 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.160 used to walk down the hallway in the hospital like 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.560 I was walking out to the ring, you know. I'd 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.000 put music on and I'd walk in like I can 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.160 do it, I can do it. I was very, very 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.520 grateful for the lessons that I'd learned, and I was 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:35.680 incredibly grateful for that second voice that I'd programmed into 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.440 my mind, and that was sense Benny's voice. So, you know, 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.960 during my final treatment, I was having a bad day, 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.559 they couldn't put the canular into my arm because all 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.560 of the veins had collapsed from the previous chemo, and 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.040 I dropped my bundle. I ran out of the room, 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.880 tears streaming down my face, and I was like, I'm 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.160 not having it. I can't do it. I just got 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.400 to that point where I couldn't take another step that day. 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.360 And in that moment when I'm sitting in the away 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.040 in the hospital with tears streaming down my face and 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:04.439 people are trying to talk to me and I just 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.720 wouldn't let them, I got quiet enough to hear that 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.840 second voice in my head that was since e Beni's voice. See, 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:16.760 we all get to program someone else's voice into our heads. Unfortunately, 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.240 for so many people, the voice in their head is 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.880 a critical voice. It's an old voice that they learned 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.600 from somewhere else. So or it's a voice maybe that's 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.720 gone unchallenged in their own head. They haven't thought to 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.679 reset it, to use tools, mindset tools to change it. 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.200 So you know, I'm hoping people who listen to your 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.480 podcast they're getting good information that they can program into 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.320 their heads for these moments in life when we really 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:44.080 need them the most. 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.640 Yeah, I love it, And look, it's very easy I 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.320 think sometimes for people to hear advice from a mindset 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.000 perspective and think it's easy for you. 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:52.520 Oh yeah, that's it. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.920 You know, like my situation is, you know, feels enormous, 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.800 and no one else's situation is the same or is 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:03.000 it the same magnitude. And that's not to suggest that 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.680 other people aren't in more challenging situations than you, potentially, 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.480 because I'm sure there are plenty out there, but I 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.679 think it is actually really powerful and reassuring to go 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.800 that's actually pretty incredible what Nadine did go through, and 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.040 now she's not only broken through the other side and 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:25.000 is unstoppable, but she helps other people gain those same 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.240 tools and those same strengths. So I'd love for you 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.720 to sort of share what you think you gained from 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.720 your martial arts and perhaps your sickness experience that can 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.760 help other people in their real life experience. And I 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.240 know you've got a book called ten Seconds of Courage, 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.400 which I know it is a famous Ted talk, and 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.200 I'd love to sort of know where that sort of 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.560 came from and what tips around that you've got as well. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.080 I can you got it, so coming out of my 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.840 cancer treatment for that whole year afterwards, I was standing 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.440 in the rubble of my life and then one of 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.199 my students over a coffee said do you like TED 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:02.720 talks ted X talks? And I was like, yeah, I 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.920 love them, and she said would you ever do one? 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.760 And I want everyone listening to ask yourself, if someone 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.240 gave you the opportunity, would you do it. 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.040 It's funny for a lot of people, they'd probably prefer 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:13.439 to be in a ring with someone then have to 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.880 get up and do a public spec that'sably step that 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:19.680 needs to jump in the ring with someone. 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.880 What I didn't know was she was on the organizing 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:26.400 committee for tedech Sydney, which is the second largest TED 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.760 event in the world apart from actual TED. So she 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.080 put my name in without telling me, and then she 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.480 told me afterwards they gave me a call. The next 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.520 thing I knew, And let me preface this by saying, 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.640 I hadn't done any public speaking since year seven English 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.880 with mister Gillette. So I was a martial arts teacher. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:49.600 I wasn't a public speaker. So I decided to speak 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.480 on this concept that I'd used during my cancer treatment 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.320 that since a Benny had taught me called ten seconds 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:59.800 of current, because what I had discovered is everybody's a 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.720 friend of different things, small through to massive. It's not 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:08.120 about comparing fears or experiences. It's just when you feel stuck, 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.360 when you can't move out of your comfort zone but 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.240 you really want to, when something's worth fighting for to you, 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.600 how do you use that little burst of courage to 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.280 get you going. Because what sense A Benny taught me 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:25.240 about the mental edge, whether it's personally professionally, is most 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.080 people think that they're going to be brave and use 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.520 their courage at the moment of execution. When the moment comes, 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.240 I'm going to be brave. But what he taught me 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:36.200 is most people make a mistake. The moment to use 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:37.840 your courage is when you're standing at the door of 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.079 the dressing room. You can't walk out to the ring 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.160 and be brave if you don't actually take that first 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.680 step and get out of your comfort zone start walking 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.200 out to the ring. So I talked about the real 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:53.200 thoughts and feelings that go with courage and how in 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.360 order to be brave you have to have that fear. 0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:00.320 Otherwise there's nothing brave about what you're doing. You know, 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.840 I shared two really key concepts in that talk. One 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.120 of them was ten seconds of courage, and the other 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.880 one was an idea called change your Thinking, which is 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.839 really a call to arms to deal with your mindset. 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:16.800 I decided that I had to point out the difference 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:21.120 between knowing an idea, which is the internal, and living 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:25.560 out the idea externally physically in real life, because I mean, 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.120 I read a lot. If I don't act on any 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.880 of the things that I learn, they're worthless. Because having 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.760 cancer taught me. People can tell you what to do, 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.040 like tell you which chemicals to put in your body 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.200 to save your life. What they don't teach you is 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.720 how to recover from it emotionally, how to deal with 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.280 it mentally. And I thought, if this is happening in 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:48.200 cancer treatment, is it happening everywhere else? And the more 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:52.000 that I checked, I found, you know, people are hungry 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.640 to learn how to deal with their minds, hungry to 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.000 learn how to deal with their emotions so that they 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:01.920 can take their lives from pretty good to absolutely amazing. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.040 And this is the thing I'm sure all of our listeners, 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.880 whether it's getting themselves into shape, whether it's leaving a 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:09.480 job that perhaps they're not happy in. 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:13.000 Whether it's getting out of a bad relationship, I don't know. 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.880 But the same mindset principles do apply to all these 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.800 different facets of life. And even if you start with 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:25.360 a little one, what happens, I believe really strongly, is 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.520 you have to just like you say, you have. 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.320 To take that first step, but start with a little one. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.080 Start with a little challenge, taking the first step against 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.200 something that you're not satisfied with in your life. And then, 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.320 like you say, you get it of your comfort zone, 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.200 which is where the magic happens, and then it just 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:43.440 makes the next time easier. The reinforcement you get when 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:47.160 you do it and a good outcome happens, just builds 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:51.600 this layer of belief and confidence and positivity around that 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.040 experience that the next time you're faced with the next challenge, 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.360 the next fear that you have to overcome, you go, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.360 you're a bit more likely to do it you would 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.320 have been if you hadn't done the previous one, had 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.320 that success. And you do it, and you do it, 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:05.840 and you do it, and you build these layers and 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.480 then before you know it, things that in your wild 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:12.480 as dreams you never thought you'd take on, don't seem 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.800 that insurmountable and don't seem anywhere near as scary as 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.400 perhaps they did, and you're taking those on. Is there 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.440 perhaps key tips that you could give our listeners that 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:27.680 you think perhaps they could begin implementing immediately to help 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.320 them in their life as they're listening. 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:29.720 To you today. 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:34.280 Absolutely so. I think one word I would attach to 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.960 what you were just saying, Sam is experience. The power 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:43.560 of experience. Every experience gives you information. Positive experience builds 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:47.160 your confidence. An experience that doesn't go so well, it 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.800 gives you more experience for next time. You know, it 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.840 gives you valuable information and feedback about the results that 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:56.320 you're getting in your life. So, in a practical sense, 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.600 since it Benny made me do. Like school, he would 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.440 get me pen and paper, write it down, change the 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.920 meaning of it on the page. And that's a you know, 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:05.440 I took what he taught me, and then I went 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.480 and looked at the research the science behind it. It's 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.280 a mental process called encoding. So when I'm sitting down 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.320 a memory, a belief system, a new way of looking 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.199 at things, I'm teaching it to myself and I'm locking 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:21.080 it into my memory system. So you know, it's not 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.120 just try and change how you think about it. It's 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:28.440 literally write it down, change it to a lesson, give 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:32.240 it a different meaning instead of just think the thought 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.040 and have it be an idea. Brains have a negative 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.960 bias and a confirmation bias, so they're hardwired to say, 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.360 if I break my hand, to focus on the problem, 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:42.920 and then I'll renew and I'll go, oh, Sam, I 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:44.879 broke my hand, and now we're talking about the problem, 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:46.720 and you're telling me about when you broke your hand, 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.360 and we both have focused on the problem. That's very 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.240 natural and normal and human. I'm not saying you shouldn't 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.879 do it, but the difference is, you know, what am 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.760 I going to do with this? Can I then change 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.560 the meaning of it? Can I my attention to the 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.520 three other good limbs that I have in order to 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.879 get the job done. I love that, to make my 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:10.840 dreams come true, to find, you know, satisfaction in my efforts, 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.720 rather than giving up on myself, because I know I've 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.520 given up on myself before. We all have as people. 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.320 And you know, sometimes living with the pain of quitting 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:21.560 is way worse than the pain of the broken hand. 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.600 Nadine, thank you so much for sharing both your personal 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.560 experience and how it's helped you help others. And you 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.000 can't wait to keep following you and seeing all the 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:33.880 great work that you're doing. Thanks so much for Johnny's 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:34.440 on the Woodlife. 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:35.240 Thanks so much. 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.840 Isn't it interesting how it so often comes back to 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.919 your perspective and your attitude and whether or not you 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.359 have the ability to flip the script. It's always the case, 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.160 and I do love that. If you want to find 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:53.360 out more from Nadine, head to Nadine champion dot com. 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.160 Next up, we're going to tackle what can only. 0:18:56.040 --> 0:19:00.159 Be described as a very polarizing supplement, and that is 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:01.440 is pre workout. 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:12.800 If you've ever. 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.320 Spent time at the gym, or you spent time around 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:17.120 people that love going to the gym, you know those 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:20.200 Jim Jakie mates, there's a fair chance you've heard about 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.080 pre workout or you've probably even bought some a use 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:26.680 some yourself. So when this question came through, I thought 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.080 it was an important one to answer. 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.200 Hi, Sam, My name's Kate and I'm from Regional South Australia. 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:36.119 Just a quick question about pre workout. Been a bit 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.240 addicted to it in the past. A personal trainer in 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:41.199 the past recommended it. Been a bit hooked on it, 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.040 and I just want to know how to get off 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.720 of it, Is it worth it, and any other tips 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.040 that you might have if there's a better. 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:51.000 Option, So quickly, just give people a little bit of 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:52.800 air heads off about what pre workout is. So it's 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:56.440 a you put a scoop of whatever flavor it might be. 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.440 You know, they're usually chock full of these artificial flavors. 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:03.240 It might be bubblegum or guava or watermelon or pineapple. 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.520 When you put a rather large scoop of this powder 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.480 from a little plastic container into your drink bottle or 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:11.359 into your cup, and your add water and you stir 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:13.919 it up and you drink it down, and it's super 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:17.800 super sweet. And then it's full of either natural or 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:23.680 artificial stimulants to get you up and about and highly energized, 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.400 you know, garana and lots of caffeine and all these 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:28.840 other sort of things. So they're not all the same. 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:32.280 I think that's important. And the idea behind it is, 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.800 now that I've taken this pre workout, as it kicks in, 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.560 as I'm starting my workout, I have more energy about 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.240 a workout, perhaps for longer or harder, you know, get 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.800 more reps in, push myself a little bit harder, lift 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:44.879 it a little bit more weight because I'm feeling really 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.640 focused and really energized, and the blood's pumping and all 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.960 that kind of thing. So those that love pumping iron 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.919 in the gym a lot of the time are huge 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.080 fans of pre workout. They feel that it gives them 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.959 a better workout, you know, and better performance, and they 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.199 kind of stuff for your benefit, Kate, you have to 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:07.440 ask yourself the question, am I addicted to the pre 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.160
