[MM]: Avoid the Happiness Trap 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Avoid the Happiness Trap

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

Last week Coach Tatiana and I went up to Monterey, California for a Spartan Race. It was a quick 36-hour trip and very successful.Â đŸ”„

In fact, Tatiana made a personal record time for herself. It was inspiring to see her success and I am very proud!

She also received an email from Joe DeSena, the CEO of Spartan prior to the race. It contained the positive message below. It inspired me so I wanted to pay it forward and do the same for you!✉

“Spartan! 

I recently took a business trip overseas. Instead of pushing for an upgrade and high-end service, I proactively chose the worst experience — connecting flight, middle seat, back row, a sad pack of stale cookies, the bathroom door banging in my ear the entire way. 

Why? 

Because I believe our constant focus on comfort and ease — how we feel right now — leads to unhappiness. 

In short, we humans are wired to constantly raise the bar on what makes us happy, something scientists call the “hedonic treadmill.” 

We get stuck in a loop where we’re always grasping for something new, different, better in the hopes that now, finally, we will feel satisfied. 

The result? 

We don’t enjoy it now. The grind. A sense of entitlement creeps into all we do. So we click, swipe, and indulge ourselves in a never-ending search for fulfillment. 

After studying this topic for 40 years, I’ve learned that when we choose to live with less, let others go first, take the more challenging path, a new world opens up and we begin to appreciate life as it comes. 

It’s a simple but massive mindshift because it short-circuits our inherent striving nature. 

For example, when I arrived in Spain after that long day of airline travel, suddenly everything was better by comparison. The sun felt a bit warmer, the food more flavorful, and my bed was a comfortable relief from my cramped airline seat. 

I realized in that moment, that I was truly experiencing the emotion we too often overlook: Gratitude. I was grateful, and enjoyed the inevitable contentment that followed. 

Here’s to The Hard Way..

-Joe”

Make it a great Monday!đŸ’Ș

Leadership Lesson: It’s not about you 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: It’s not about you

Being a leader is not about you.

It never has.

It never will be.

Leadership is about creating value to those you serve.

To be a more effective leader..

Fight the self-serving urge.

Instead..

Redirect that urge to your people.

Like a muscle, it will get easier with time.

This is leadership.

[MM]: Garbage In, Garbage Out

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I received this recently from my good friend Mike Zakarian, who is a Franchise Business Coach and Owner of a Fit Body location.

It was a wonderful message and wanted to pass it along so you received the value!đŸ’„

“Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

In the computer science space, there’s a saying: Garbage in, garbage out.

It means that the quality of input = the quality of output.

I’m no computer science major but what I do know is that this is true in life and business! 

It’s simple


Watch the news, and feel doom and gloom.

Hang with victims, feel like a victim.

Eat like crap, feel like crap.

You simply cannot show up as your best self with your family, team, and clients if you have garbage input.

If you want to change your life, it starts with controlling what you let into your mind! 

My challenge for you is to do an audit of all the input you’re taking everyday and make one change! 

Replace one thing with something positive and watch how much better you feel. 

Reply back with what input you’re changing!”

Leadership Lesson: Why Leadership is Hard 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Why Leadership is Hard

Leadership is hard because your job as the leader is to help people, not to make them happy.

Let me explain..

Think about parenting, aka leading your child.

Your child wants candy.

Your child wants to stay up late.

Your child does not want to wear clothes or bathe.

Your child wants total chaos whenever they want it.

Am I right?

But by letting them do want they want..

Yes, that will make them happy in the moment. 

But I believe you would agree..

That’s not being a good parent or leading them well.

So here’s the tough reality.

Leading is about helping people.

And when you help people, many times they don’t like..

At least, it was at first.

It’s only as the process unfolds where this becomes apparent.

This is why leadership is hard.

So remember..

It’s your job as a leader to HELP PEOPLE, not to make them happy.

Leadership Lesson: Good 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Good

Being a leader means leading oneself first and foremost. It takes a tough and stoic mindset.

Below is one of my favorite pieces of leadership advice from 1 of the world’s greatest leaders in Jocko Willink, retired Navy Seal and author of “Extreme Ownership”.

–

Jocko Willink “GOOD” (Official)

“When things are going bad, don’t get bummed out, don’t get startled, don’t get frustrated.

If you can say the word “Good”. 

Guess what?

It means you’re still alive.

It means you’re still breathing.

And if you’re still breathing.

Well then hell, you got some fight left in you.

So get up. 

Dust off. 

Reload.

Recalibrate.

Re-engage.

And go out on the ATTACK.” 

– Jocko

[MM]: Your Fitness is a LIFE or DEATH ordeal (must see video)

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I saw this short video recently and thought of you.

Why?

It scared me.

In fact, many emotions ran through my body.

A big benefit to health and fitness is a better physique and more confidence.đŸ’Ș

But it does way more than that.

Fitness can give you the mobility and physicality to SAVE lives!!

The opposite is also true.

So my passionate plea is this.. 

Next time you don’t feel like exercising..

While I get it and have been there too..

Remember that is a temporary feeling and a selfish thought.

Why?

Your family, children and loved ones are depending on you!!

The good news?

With a proper fitness and nutrition routine..

You can save lives!đŸ”„

Make it a great Monday!đŸ’„

Now for todays message.

My friend Lydia who is the owner of a Fit Body Boot Camp in Virginia shared this with me recently and thought it was so valuable I wanted to pass on..

“Bryce,

Someone just sent me this included post (originally from Reddit I believe), and it’s a good perspective shift.

As our gym’s “admin,” I field any requests to pause or cancel
 

I hate doing it because I want everyone to stay forever, but know that can’t always happen. 😅

I always ask the reason and hear many different things, but budgeting is a common reason.

Believe me, I know what it’s like to live on a lean budget..

But it always surprises me that the gym. The very place they found that finally works, where there’s a community of people who care, where we will do everything to deliver results— is one of the first things to go.

I think subconsciously, we view exercise as a “luxury item”. 

Something we only deserve to spend money and time on “when we have it”
. 

Which, if there’s one thing we know about time and money, it’s that there’s never enough.

Instead of worrying about the cost to go, ask yourself about the cost of NOT going!

*Disclaimer: obviously I know there are unique situations and I believe you can work out wherever you want to and spend however much or little makes sense for you as long as it’s something that works and something you stick to. đŸ‘đŸŒâ€Â 

Please share this with someone who needs this message!

Make it a great Monday!đŸ”„

The 4th lesson to Develop Leadership, Culture and Morale is below which will compound over the coming weeks.

Create a Culture of Feedback

This is absolutely critical to your building your leadership, morale, and culture. 

Don’t know where to start? 

Ask your team to listen to “Giving and Receiving Feedback Part 1 & 2” of the Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast which is included below. 

Collectively reflect on the episodes together which will provide the foundation to establishing a feedback culture which exposes weaknesses, and builds off strengths.
