[MM]: Peopl e who pay…

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

In 2009, I decided to learn a foreign language from scratch. 

I landed on Brazilian Portuguese as I was inspired by a visit to Rio de Janeiro over Christmas 2008. And I have been on a consistent journey ever since.🇧🇷

I am happy to report I am conversationally fluent after years of painstaking work.💥

How have I accomplished this goal?

Well, in many ways.  

I’ve lived in Brazil for 2 years. I’ve taken many online classes. I’ve enrolled in a Brazilian University. I’ve hired tutors. I married a Brazilian gal. I have lived with her family. I invested in the Rosetta Stone and executed countless other strategies in order to achieve fluency.

Many of these strategies have added to my bilingual ability, including most notably my mother-in-law Cristina and my private teacher Mara. 

Specific to Mara, she lives in Laguna Beach. 

She was born & raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil nearly 30 before I was born.  We started working together in June of 2014 and meet every weekend for an hour. 

There’s an occasional weekend where we are traveling that we miss. But that aside, we are very-very consistent. ✨

Is it easy? No. 

Truthfully, most weekends I do not “feel” like taking class prior. I have my internal doubts and think of all the other things I could be doing instead of the hard work!

But I always seem to dig deep, push those feelings aside and meet with her.  And you guessed it.. After our lesson, I am always happy I did!🥰

Kinda like working out. 🙂

As a result and through the years, she’s becoming one of my closest friends. In fact, we have grown a deep affinity and love for one another.😍

We have deep insights into each other’s lives as our classes have transitioned from grammar and vocabulary. Now, most of the time we catch up for an hour as friends. 

So nowadays, my language development is a bi-product of meaningful conversation.

This is coaching at its finest as Mara is a beautiful soul and an incredible relationship builder. I am deeply indebted and grateful to her.🙏

Now if you can believe, a few years ago she let me know that she enjoys our relationship so much, she would teach me for free.

While this is true, I politely declined.

I am sure you are thinking… 

Why turn down such an offer?!

Because I pay her for me.😀

Let me explain..

My business partner and founder of Fit Body, Bedros Keuilian told me this little secret about human nature over a decade ago. It didn’t make sense at the time but I do know 100% it’s true after coaching thousands of fitness and business clients for many years.👇

“People who pay, pay attention”, he said. 

The truth is that people who get the best results are the ones who pay. 

Because when you pay, an energy/accountability transfer happens. You then feel an internal tug to pay attention. As people disappoint themselves, but it’s more painful to disappoint someone else. 

A quicker and long-term result is the bi-product. 

So as much as Mara is one of my closest friends in life. If I stop paying her, the probability increases that I will stop paying attention which I will not let happen. 

Ultimately, I pay her for me.💥

So here is my message today for you. 

Invest and pay for whatever areas in life you need support in. If there is long-term value, happily pay for the coaching.💰 

Yes, that’s the right thing to do. In addition, it will be most impactful for YOU to keep you long-term committed.

After all, people who pay, pay attention!💯

Make it a great Monday!

[MM]: 10 tips to improve your life.

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I hope you enjoyed Father’s Day weekend. 🔥

As June pushes forward, I cannot believe nearly 50% of the year is already gone.

How is everything going to date?

To create some value, I crafted a message with 10 things that can improve your life. 

They have really helped me and want the same for you.

So please review and consider implementing.👇

–

1. Move your body every day. The old saying is true. You either move it or lose it. So don’t lose it!

2. Limit your calories if you’re trying to lose weight. It’s a simple formula: Eat fewer calories than you use, and you will lose weight.

3. More water, fruits, and veggies. Less candy and chips. You know this, but are you doing it?

4. Hire a fitness coach….Everyone has blind spots, coaching helps shore those up. I hear good things about a place called “Fit Body” 😀

5. Tell your loved ones you love them more often. I have an ASANA reminder to send 1 gratitude/love message a day. It’s helped me connect and built stronger relationships. Highly recommend executing. 

6. Sleep well. Work hard and rest hard. You cannot live a good life if you are constantly sleep-deprived. Good sleep makes everything better. The opposite is true. 

7. Remember, exercise is the miracle drug. It’s good for your bones, muscles, balance, heart, breathing, mental health, and sleep.

8. Practice Gratitude. When you are grateful, it’s hard to be angry, anxious or upset. Your life is made up of the quality of emotions. Choose positive emotions and this will help.  

9. Reduce your Social Media & Netflix. Easier said than done. But go for a walk, a hike, or a workout. Get some fresh air. 

10. Stop watching the bad news! Mainstream media has 1 goal, grab your attention so advertisers will pay more money.  It’s not to inform you with accurate information. As the more they scare you, the more they grab your attention (human nature). Turn it off and watch your mental life improve!

Make it a great Monday!💪

[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. 🔥

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”

[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.💪

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!🔥

Make it a great Monday!💥

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

Before I begin.. 

I hope you had an AMAZING Mother’s Day to all you awesome moms!!!🥰

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. 👍🏼” 

Please share this with someone who needs this message!

Make it a great Monday!🔥

[MM]: Whatever it takes (9 years going strong) 768 1024 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Whatever it takes (9 years going strong)

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

This past weekend I realized a big accomplishment.

So today I wanted to inspire and challenge you!💪

What accomplishment?

Well, I have been visiting my Brazilian Portuguese teacher nearly every weekend for my hour-long language class for 9 years and going strong.

There are a few times a year when she is out of town or I am, so we need to cancel our class.

That aside and 99% of the time every weekend..

We meet so I can challenge myself and learn her beautiful language.🇵🇹🇧🇷

Why you might ask?

In 2010, I made a commitment as I always wanted to be bilingual.💥

And as a consequence, I took on a “whatever it takes” mindset to accomplish this after visiting Rio de Janeiro Brazil on vacation the year prior. 

It was love at first sight (both with the language and culture) which eventually led to meeting my bride Tatiana and her amazing family.🥰

Fast forward 13 years..

Has it been easy?

HECK NO! ❌

In fact, this has been probably 1 of the hardest things I’ve done in my life.

And being very honest with you, most weekends I do NOT feel like taking class even though I love Mara!

However, it’s definitely one of the most rewarding things I have accomplished to date.

And as an added bonus..

I made an amazing lifelong friend in Mara during the process who has provided me with a gift of friendship I could never pay back.🫶

Today’s message?

Pick a mental or physical challenge that you need YEARS not days to execute!

The challenge is where long-term FULFILLMENT resides.

For me, it was learning Brazilian Portuguese fluently.

But whatever it is for you.. 

It needs to LIGHT YOUR FIRE!🔥

Once you decide, then here are your action steps..

  1. Make a plan. 
  2. Write down the plan.
  3. Hire a coach/guide.
  4. Show up every day or week consistently &  even when you don’t feel like it.

In my experience, most times you won’t feel like it at the moment!

But trust me when I say the reward in the end is PRICELESS which will also completely enrich your life. ✨

That’s been my experience and I want the same for YOU! 🙂

Make it a great Monday!

[MM]: Space to Celebrate 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Space to Celebrate

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

Last week I challenged you to sweat in battle (train hard).

That is 100% needed and most people don’t do enough!

Being life is a dichotomy..💯

Today’s message is that you must also make space to celebrate your wins.💥

Here are some examples of wins you can celebrate.

  • Got to boot camp 3x last week?
  • Stuck with your nutrition plan 80%?
  • Drank ½ your body weight in ounces of water most days this week?
  • Eliminated 1 fast food meal?

My friend, it’s ok to start small.

Stack wins and builds momentum!👏

To sign off with some inspiration to kick start your week..

Here are 2 short highlight videos celebrating our Franchise Partners and Coaches for putting in the work and getting better for you!

MM: The more you sweat in battle, the less you bleed in war.

Happy Monday Mindset!

As we kick off our 6-week Drop 1 Size Fitness & Nutrition challenge today, I thought of you this past weekend.

As the below message was my keynote to over 50+ Franchise Partners, Leaders, and Coaches at our Elite Training which can very much apply to your fitness journey.

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

For some backstory..👇

My HQ team & I went out to Providence, Rhode Island to conduct our Fit Body Coaches Elite training so we could pour into our coaches (training in battle). So they can in turn level up their coaching and pour into our global Fit Body clients.

As the reality is that both fitness, business and life can be “war”. They can all be very challenging as it all comes at you fast.💨

And if you don’t sweat in battle (work on your fitness, nutrition and mindset)… 💦

When the real problems of life happen (sickness, disease, the next virus), you will be more prone to significant bleeding.

This is why we pour into our coaches who in turn pour into you!!

As our mission is truly to INSPIRE FITNESS & CHANGE LIVE EVERY DAY! More than a tagline, it’s our life’s work.

So next time you are feeling down, and have thoughts of throwing in the fitness towel…

Remember..

The more you sweat in battle, the less you bleed in war.. 💪

And the best part?

We are here for you, so please reach out to us whenever you need. As we are always ready to go to battle together! 🙌

Make it a great Monday!

[MM]: Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.. Trash 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.. Trash

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I recently read a poem by the late Mother Teresa and struck a chord so I wanted to share.👇

It’s entitled “Anyway” and has practical applications to your fitness and life.✨

I trust you will get value and recommend you share with a friend or family member in need for some positivity. 💥

–

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered..Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives..Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies..Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you…Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight.. Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous..Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow..Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough..Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

~ Mother Teresa

Make it a great Monday!🫶
