Have you ever been in that place you had to make a real tough, challenging decision and struggled with it for days…maybe even weeks–because you didn’t even know where to start. I know I have! 

These “what if this” or “what if that” conversations you have in your head lead to increased stress and anxiety, which are two key areas that severely impact your energy levels and your mindset.

As we conclude the 5-part series in how successful people dominate in their health and wellness, decisive decision making is the last strategy. How do they do it you might ask? They have a group that they entrust called their Circle of Genius–or you may have heard it referenced as your Circle of Trust, Your Best 5 People You Know, or The Big 5 in Your Life. Whatever you may call it—having a Circle of Genius is your key to reducing stress and anxiety and becoming the most decisive decision maker you know.

To learn how to create your Circle of Genius and how to start to make decisive decisions with clarity and focus today, click the video above. Ready…set…let’s get started.

BTW: Want to thank you for sending in your questions from the survey we sent out a few weeks ago regarding your most frustrating health and wellness concerns and questions. With such an overwhelming response, I am excited to start a new series of Tuesday Talks next week focused on answering those questions and some surprises along the way.

We are getting closer to revealing all 5 strategies that highly successful people do who dominate in their health and wellness. Hope you have been watching this series and have started to implement your morning rhythm, movement in the a.m., and eating with your intuition, not your head. Today I am going to share the #4 technique–how you can be most productive every hour of every day.

We are going to be taking it back to the old school for this one and it all starts with a simple notecard. Yes, I said it—a notecard— it will be the best tool for you to plan and prepare your day and stay the most productive with your time. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” That stays true for anything that you are trying conquer in your life—from the simplest thing to the most complex (your health and wellness being somewhere in between). I can honestly say that by using this simple technique it has changed my game substantially. As you start to apply this strategy into your own life—you will be astonished on how much more you can get done in a day,

Here is the third episode of the 5-part series on how highly successful people dominate in their health and wellness.

Do you ever get so busy that you forget to eat throughout the day? 

If you do, you are in the 90%! We all do it!

However, the real question is, what choices do you make when it’s finally time to eat. Most people over eat in this situation, which creates a major decrease in energy and a major increase in body fat over-time. 

Click the video above to hear the #1 shortcut to help you not overeat when you are hungry, but eat how you are meant to nourish your body. 

Spoiler Alert!!!!! Sir Fergusson makes an appearance and displays the exercise perfectly. 

Remember, consistent commitment to Move well, Eat well, Think well = FYClife.

In 2008, I found myself on the beaches of Honolulu, looking out into the ocean as the sun began to set. Holding onto my surfboard, I was contemplating one more wave and I remember saying a quick prayer because on the real–the Pacific had beaten me up all day. As I started to paddle out to catch my last wave of the day, I noticed the surf was getting bigger and bigger, but I still thought maybe I’ll just boogie board this last one in.

I have never been good with maybes, so I saw my wave and decided to take it. Unfortunately, what I found was it was taking me. The enormous energy of the ocean is nothing to take for granted. As I started to break to the left, I almost hit another surfer, so I changed direction. A few seconds later, I had to change direction again because I was heading right into the reef. Like a captain of his own ship, I decided I had to steer this ride. I pulled back on the wave like reigns on a horse going out of control and I took the wave all the way into shore almost on a straight line. I walked directly off the board as I approached the sand and gave thanks for my safe return home (a.k.a land).  

3 vital lessons on momentum were born that day: 

1. Momentum always has a direction.

2. You can’t surf momentum, you must steer it. 

3. You must be willing to direct momentum instead of letting it direct you. 

Now that you know what to do with momentum, the question is how do you create it. Click on the video above to watch this weeks conversation, where I provide 3 tips or tricks to help you create momentum in your movement and in your life. 

P.S. In the comments section, please let me know what’s the #1 way you create momentum when you get off track. I will be personally reviewing your comments and answering your questions. 

Thank you and it is an honor to serve you in health.

I have to tell you guys something. I have not gone to the dentist in a long time until very recently. I almost am too embarrassed to say how long, but for you guys I have always been an open book—so here goes… it’s been 4 years…yes I said it…4 years. Part of it was because I have always felt pretty healthy, part of it was that I was too busy, and part of it was that I didn’t make it a priority. Ha ha ha…does this behavior sound familiar at all—all the many things that we don’t do even when we know it’s the right thing to do. We all have our moments of weakness. 

This was definitely one of mine. So I get to my appointment and sit on the chair—and my dentist asks me to open my mouth and I cringe for a second—was a little nervous on what she was about to tell me. And then after probing a bit in my mouth with the uncomfortable silver rod and her small mirror, she looks at me and says, ”I am so surprised that you have not been to a dentist in so long, and your teeth look as good as they do.” She was baffled—but I wasn’t.

Several years ago, a dentist friend told me how important dental health is in your overall health journey. He told me that most people do not take care of their dental hygiene and it’s a huge factor as they get older – as it could lead to tooth decay, diseases, coronary issues, etc. And he gave me a regiment that I follow everyday—all day—#8DaysAWeek. He said, do this twice a day, in this order:

First, floss your teeth wells

Next, gargle with mouthwash

Then, brush your teeth (2 minutes minimum)

You may never have expected a blog entry on dental health from me—I know I am not a dentist—however; I am a coach of all things health. Our future health lies within so many factors and your hygiene plays a big role in that. Soon enough we will be talking about pooping well too! But until then, please follow your coach’s orders twice a day—morning and night:

Floss
Gargle with mouthwash
Brush for 2 minutes minimum

…it will be one of the best decisions you can make for your health.

Coach Adam Cobb
