(MM): Hardship is relative (2023 reflection)

Happy Monday!🙌

As 2023 winds down..

I wanted to share some perspectives that I received from a thought leader I follow.✨

I believe it’s important that you create time for reflection as often as possible.

This creates growth and perspective.📈

It also helps you be a better person.

So I hope you get value from the below, and it allows you to enjoy the holidays a bit more which will also set the tone for 2024.

That’s my goal for you!🥰

For a small amount of perspective at this moment, imagine you were born in 1900. 

When you are 14, World War I starts and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. 

Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. 

50 million people died from it in those two years. 

Yes, 50 million!

When you’re 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, and global GDP drops 27%. 

That runs until you are 33. 

The country nearly collapsed along with the world economy.

When you turn 39, World War II starts. 

You aren’t even over the hill yet.

When you’re 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. 

Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills 12 million. 

At 52, the Korean War started and 5 million perished.

At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years.

4 million people died in that conflict. 

Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban missile crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War…

Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended.

 

Thankfully, great leaders prevented that from happening.

As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. 

Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. 

How do you survive all of that? 

A kid in 1985 didn’t think their 85-year-old grandparent understood how hard school was. 

Yet those grandparents (and now great-grandparents) survived through everything listed above.

Perspective is an amazing art.🌟

As 2023 ends, let’s try and keep things in perspective as all hardship is relative. 

Let’s be smart and take care of ourselves.👊 

This way, we can help each other which is my message today. 

Make it a GREAT Monday!🔥

[MM]: The Season of Separation 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: The Season of Separation

Happy Monday and season’s greetings!🌟

While the holidays are upon us with lots of fun things to look forward to..

I look at this season a little differently.

I view it as “The Season of Separation.”✨

Why?

Well, most people take their foot off the gas of their goals and dreams this time of year.

They get distracted with all the hustle and bustle.

In fact, the average American puts on 5-10 lbs every year during the holidays.

The worst part?

On average, they only lose 50% of the weight gain the following January. These extra holiday pounds then compounds with time.

Fast forward a decade..

It’s easy to see why 80% of our country is either obese or overweight.

Ouch!🥲

So while I believe you should enjoy this special time with your loved ones.

I also believe you should re-frame your view on this season as I did a few years ago.

Instead..

I began to view it as “The Season of Separation.”

This is the month I get more dialed in on my fitness.👊

I get more dialed in on my focus.🤓

I get more dialed in on my future planning.

Why?

Momentum is real.💯

When you attack the last part of the year, instead of slowing down. You start the new year in full stride and with momentum.

Over the last 5 years, this switch in mindset has been a GAME CHANGER for me.

I want the same for you.🥰

So as you look ahead over the next 4 weeks..

Yes, enjoy some down time with loved ones.

But do NOT let your fitness or focus slack.

Instead, attack both your fitness and fat loss goals.

And when you attack every December like this..

Contrary to the average person..

You will look back with all the progress you made with complete happiness and joy.👏

After all, this is what the holiday season is all about.

Happiness and Joy!

Make it a GREAT Monday!🙌

[MM]: EXACTLY where you should be 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: EXACTLY where you should be

Happy Monday!🙌

I received this note from my good friend Tom a while back.📝

He is one of our Franchise Business coaches and 1 of our most successful owners of a Fit Body near Dallas, Texas.🌟

He sent the message to our Franchise partners as a piece of mindset coaching.

I made a note as I was inspired and believe it’s very applicable to you.

I trust you will get value.😍 

If you do, please pay it forward and share. 🙂

Family!

I had a fantastic coaching call with one of our franchise partners last week, and I hope YOU had a coaching call too!

Her location has been open for a little more than a year.

On the call, she asked me… 

“For being open one year – how do you think we are doing?”

My answer was straightforward and honest.

I replied..

You are EXACTLY where you should be based on the thoughts that you’ve had and the actions you’ve taken up to this point. 

And the same is true for you, your friends, your clients, and every single person on planet earth.

And it’s true no matter if we are talking about weight loss, career, financial success, marital success or ANYTHING else in life.

Ponder that for a second…

Both you and every single person on planet earth are EXACTLY where they should be based on the beliefs, thoughts, and actions that they’ve had up to this point.

So if you are content with where you are..

GREAT!

Keep doing what you are doing!

If you are NOT content with where you are in life, my suggestion would be. 

  1. Don’t worry about the past. It’s done and dusted.
  2. Start having the thoughts and then taking the actions that someone who is where you want to be would have.

Yes, it really is that simple.

Our lives are simply a culmination of our beliefs, thoughts, and actions.

Success truly is an inside job.✨

Lucky for you, you have a team of coaches that can help shape

your beliefs and assign you actions.

Please reach out to us, we are here!

Make it a GREAT Monday!🔥

[MM]: Perspective

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!🙏

It’s my favorite holiday of the year without question.

The best part?

Tatiana and I coached the day’s sessions!🌟

With my role in overseeing our brand, I don’t get the opportunity often.

But it’s always a treat.

Why?

It reminds me why I got into the business.

For the people!💥

It’s always such a fun experience connecting, coaching, supporting, and pushing our clients to success.🥰

It gives our team of world-class coaches a holiday break.

It grounds me to the business.

It reminds me of the challenge of the coaching role.

This all creates perspective.⚡️

And perspective creates fulfillment which is what I want for you!

My message today is to seek a new perspective.🔥

Mix up your routine.

Make plans to take a new hike.

Visit an old friend.

Go find a new restaurant.

Take on a new challenge or adventure.✨

Do something new or revisit something of the past.

This will also give you both perspective and fulfillment which will enrich your life. 

Make it a GREAT Monday!😍

[MM]: Giving Thanks 1024 768 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Giving Thanks


Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

Coach Jake sent Tatiana and I a text message a couple weeks ago on Sunday, November 5.

In general terms, the date is burned in my brain.

Yet, this year, his message caught me by surprise in the hustle and bustle.

Why did he message?

Coach Jake congratulated us.🌟

Being that on November 5, 2012, Tatiana and I opened our first Fit Body location here in Orange County, California.💥 

That date is now 11 years ago, which I still cannot believe.

What was it like?

It was a cold, dark and rainy morning.

We didn’t know a lot of people in the community.

We didn’t have a strong marketing strategy.

Only 1 month prior I had moved a mile next to our location.

I rented a studio apartment so we could launch our new business. 

A mere 1-week prior Tatiana arrived from Brazil.🇧🇷

It was exciting but stressful!

Why?

I had dumped my life savings to get the doors open on this new business.  Many loved ones, with good intentions, cautioned us against the risk.

We had many challenges to overcome.

There were a lot of things we didn’t know.

But what we lacked in experience and resources.

We made up for it with HEART and PASSION!💕

The passion towards the mission of inspiring fitness and changing lives that burns true till this day!

Was it easy?

No.

Launching a business is one of the hardest things we have ever done.🔥

This is why most fail.

In fact, the first handful of months we couldn’t afford a team.

Every month, it was a fight for survival.

Many times in the first year, we were on the brink of making rent.

There were many days where things didn’t look good.

Oftentimes, we felt like quitting.

But even though those early days were hard.

We keep putting 1 foot in front of the other.

We kept pushing forward.

Fast forward 11 years and this mission to change lives continues.🙏

Without you, this wouldn’t be possible.

So, on this special Thanksgiving week..

Tatiana, team, and I wanted to give THANKS to YOU for your support and love!✨

YOU are the reason for our passion towards fitness!

YOU are the reason we get to do what we love!

My message today:

Stop today and send a gratitude text to someone who has helped you on your journey.🥰 

There’s no free rides in life, but someone has provided you support when you desperately needed it.

This is the same YOU did for us!

Please also realize that nothing in life that’s valuable comes easy or free.

This is true for your health & fitness.💯

Yes, it will be harder than you think.

But it will be more fulfilling than you can imagine.

And even when the going gets tough..

Put 1 foot in front of the other and keep pushing forward.

Happy Thanksgiving.🙏

We are grateful for YOU!😍

[MM]: Never take this for granted 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Never take this for granted

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

It was Veterans Day on Saturday.🌟

It reminded me of something we should never take for granted.

What specifically?

FREEDOM.

Why?

This is a tough truth of life..

FREEDOM is not free.

As you are aware..

You don’t have to look too hard just in these last 3 years alone.

Violence, chaos and oppression have erupted in many corners throughout the globe.

The truth is that FREEDOM has and will always be under attack by outside forces.🎯

This is why it needs to be valued and protected.

It needs to be enjoyed and never taken for granted.

In fact, if you are reading this and enjoying freedom on this beautiful Monday to read this inspirational message..

Thank a veteran for the privilege.

That thought inspired me this past Saturday.

I hope it does the same to you.

Thank you to those of you who served.🙏

Love and respect.💕

[MM]: Perspective Mr. Henson. Perspective. 1024 768 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Perspective Mr. Henson. Perspective.

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

A couple of months ago, I walked downstairs at 2am to grab some water from the fridge as I was feeling a bit dehydrated.💧

When my feet hit the carpet on the living room floor, I immediately knew something was wrong.

Why?

I could hear the “squish” of the water soaked carpet on my feet.

As I would come to find out, a water pipe burst and caused major water damage.

Ouch.😓

The result?

Tatiana and I had to be uprooted for 2 weeks.

Then $100,000+ damage later.. 

The worst part?

While we stopped the leak and fixed the pipes within the 2 week clip.

It still looks to be another handful of months before our house will be fixed. This is due to a bit of ongoing back and forth with the insurance company.

Fun times!👊

As I remember while being right in the thick of the events.  Out of some frustration I muttered something like..

“Tatiana, this absolute chaos. It’s like our house is in the middle of a war zone.”

Yes, I was frustrated at the situation. 

But as soon as I heard myself speak the last sentence out loud..

I was stopped dead in my tracks as I had a true moment of clarity.✨

A voice deep within yelled:

“Mrs. Henson, this is not a disaster. 

This is a 1st world inconvenience at best.

There are many people in the world right now who’s homes are actually in war zones.

Perspective Mr. Henson. Perspective.”

Message from upstairs received. 

It was a moment of clarity and perspective I needed.

I share this with you today in the hopes that if you are going through something that is a big issue.

Maybe it is. 

Although, maybe it just needs an adjustment in perspective like was needed for me.

Let’s make it a GREAT Monday!🔥

[MM]: The Confidence to Pursue Your Dreams 1024 759 Bryce Henson

[MM]: The Confidence to Pursue Your Dreams

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

Last Friday was bittersweet as we bid farewell to our beloved coach Kelin.💕

Kelin is a beautiful soul and put together an incredible body of work for our clients, team and community here at Mission Viejo Fit Body.

She’s off to pursue her dreams of living in Denver, Colorado while coaching for a new Fit Body location.✨

In essence, she’s pursuing both geographical and department change within our organization.

As I reflect, this is the 2nd amazing coach in 2023 that shifted away to follow their passion. 🙌

The first one being coach Kat earlier this year as she traveled to Central America and then relocated back to the midwest. 

And while bummed for Mission Viejo Fit Body, I am happy for both amazing coaches.🥰

The commonality?

By getting in great shape and staying fit, this provided them both the increased levels of confidence & clarity to pursue big life dreams.🌟

In fact, as I reflect back at my own life…

This was the same for me in 2010 when I decided to move to Florianopolis, Brazil where I lived for 2 years and met my wife Coach Tatiana.🇧🇷

Without going through my own fitness transformation a few years prior, I cannot look you in the eye and tell you I would have had the confidence to have followed this big dream of moving abroad.💪

And that’s where the BIG AH-HAH came today..

When you invest in yourself. 

When you train at least 3-4 times per week, hydrate and eat well..

Your mind, body and soul respond. 

Way more than just weight loss..

You gain more energy, mental clarity and confidence.

Through gaining a higher level of confidence, you then gain the ability to follow your passions in life.

And this is my message and passionate plea for you today my friend.

Invest in yourself!

Invest in your fitness!

When you do..

Just like Coach Kelin, Kat and I..

You will acquire higher levels of confidence to pursue your dreams, whatever they may be for you!

This is why my team and I are so passionate to support you on your fitness journey. 

If you need help, please respond to this email as we are here to support you.

Make it a GREAT week!💥

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war. 150 150 Bryce Henson

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.

Happy Monday!🙌

“The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.”

I read a quote a year ago and stopped being in my tracks. 

It was a mantra that the Spartans warriors of ancient Greece kept front and center thousands of years ago.🇬🇷

This lesson is still applicable today.

With the devastating situation in Israel that has flared up in the last week. And the world conflict & chaos that has erupted over the last 3 years.🇮🇱

This is top of mind.🧠

Yes, the truth is that we are in tough times.💯

Although my message today is grounded in my Stoic Philosophy. 

It’s a message of empowerment and hope!✨

You see..

Stoicism reminds us that many things are outside our direct control in life..

However, the good news is there are also still many things within your direct control.👊

Your effort, attitude and preparation are top on the list!

Now in looking at the big picture but also bringing this home to your fitness..💪

The sad truth is most people don’t invest in their health. 

They eat poorly.

They don’t work out.

They don’t invest in their health and fitness.

They don’t prepare in peace time.

The data shows this as nearly 80% of our adult population and 20% of children our obese or overweight. 

By and large, our country is not in shape. 

Then when chaos breaks out (virus, disease, etc)..

They suffer and pay the price. 

So my message today is to empower yourself.⚡️

Please do not be the average person whose health & fitness is vulnerable at best.🙅

Instead..

Eat healthy, train and sleep well.🥗

Invest in your health, fitness and relationships.🔥

Prepare in peace when you have the opportunity. 

After all..

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.💥

Sending thoughts and prayers for stronger leadership and peace.

Make it a GREAT week!🙌
