Do you train this, too? No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/05/18

When you train in perfect conditions and the real thing doesn't meet those standards...A lot of people train for optimal conditions. The problem with that is that you rarely compete with those conditions. That's why I've started working on a calorie deficit on the weekends. During my races, I have to compete and recover in that state, so why don't I train that way? I do my normal breakfast, then a small snack like I use in the races, and my normal dinner. Do you need to do this all the time

Measure what matters! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

2025/05/17

The quickest way to improve something is to be able to measure some aspect. For something athletic, that's pretty easy. For mental gains, you need to be a little more creative. For instance, my runs are easy to see progress. For my mental gains during the runs, I can note how many times I needed to give myself a pep talk. When I first started this running journey, it was CONSTANT! Today, it was only a few times while I was really pushing my limits. That can be another thing to note as well. I was

2025/05/16

Change is inevitable. Growth is optional. You can choose to stay in the negative space or move forward with lessons to teach. I get it. I'm headed back to Illinois next week for another funeral. Three years in a row now. The job market for government workers is anything but stable right now. Still, I find it hard to be upset because I know God has a plan, and I'm not privy to all the details right now. I can be sad and mourn the loss of my uncle. I can be concerned about my day job and sad to

How to quickly get back on track. No excuses! | Kevin...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/05/15

I know, this sounds too good to be true. But it's true. Most of the time, you beat yourself up and feel guilty, then decide to continue the behavior because... why not? Or, you give yourself too much "grace" and make up enough excuses to justify continuing down the path again. Go in between these and just accept you did something you don't believe is optimal for the future you are building towards. Then, decide to get back on track right then. There is no need to be critical or soft. Just accept

Regrets? No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise Again From...

2025/05/14

I don't have any regrets, and I wouldn't give my younger self any advice. I know, people will call me a liar and pretend just because they would that everyone does. Nope. And that's not because I've enjoyed everything about my life. Not even close. But without the horrible times, I wouldn't have the great memories either. I wouldn't be who I am today. I wouldn't know the lessons I've learned. I wouldn't be as strong mentally, physically, or spiritually without all the ups and downs. No excuses

Dropping vices is easy. No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/05/13

I say this is easy, but that's only partially true. It is that simple in concept. The hard part, however, is being honest and willing to be wrong and keep digging. Most of the time, it's a layer or two down where you aren't looking or you are avoiding. Once you get past that, it gets really easy to move past. You just need to answer the right question.

You have the time... No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/05/12

You have the time. You just don't have the drive. You don't need to lift like a bodybuilder to get your body ready and stay physically capable. Eat like God intended, not like an atheist scientist who wants to play God tries to say you should eat. Move your body and build strength and endurance. Don't overthink health. It's simple once you get the false promotions out of the way. No excuses! Kevin Brewer Rise Again From The Struggle

I'm not being mean... No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

2025/05/11

What a great way to describe the world today.So many people are seeking pleasure so much that telling the truth is now considered to be mean. No. It's not. I'm just not willing to lie. I don't play games. I'm not actively trying to make you comfortable. Now, to be clear, I'm also not actively trying to make you uncomfortable. I just have standards, and being honest is number one on the list. No excuses! Kevin Brewer Rise Again From The Struggle

Your feelings aren't always valid. No excuses! |...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/05/10

This usually ruffles a few feathers, but it needs to be said. We've gone too far in our obsession of telling people their feelings are always right. Most people put zero effort into learning how to process, evaluate, or understand their emotions. So why do we assume they always get it right? It's probably true that they are feeling that emotion, so it's REAL. But valid and real are not the same thing. When you validate an inaccurate emotion, you are lying to that person. Stop being a liar and be

It's a consistency issue. No excuses! | Kevin Brewer...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/05/09

Consistency is a superpower.Look, you don't have an issue with potential for most things. You lack the ability to stick with it long enough to see how good you can truly get. You give up when it gets hard or when it looks like you might get embarrassed. But if you stuck with it just a little longer, you were right up against a breakthrough. No excuses!

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2025/05/08

Comparison is a tool and a skill, not a thief of joy.You just suck at the skill, so you think it's bad. For instance, if you compare my workout to a bodybuilder's workout, it would not be good. Maybe this leads me to feel down about myself. Then I realize we aren't training for the same goal. You see, comparing things that aren't in the same reality is what leads to your feelings of stolen joy. Compare levels of effort, work ethic, or skill training schedules. These are things you can control

Do hard shit! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise Again...

2025/05/07

Easy things require no skill and usually no barrier to entry. That makes it very unlikely to add a lot of value to your life.That'd why seeking out hard things is the way to grow and develop. We learn through challenges. You don't need to seek out the hardest things possible, either. Just go a little above your comfort level to start. Then increase as that becomes more comfortable. That's how you grow. No excuses! Kevin Brewer Rise Again From The Struggle

2025/05/06

Don't wait to try and be good at something before you call yourself that thing. In fact, you should call yourself that thing before you start, so you actually start! I did this with running. I called myself a runner so I would start acting like one. I needed the skill for the things I wanted to accomplish, but I tried to say I wasn't a runner? That didn't make sense. So, I changed my identity. I started calling myself a runner. Then I acted like one. At first, I was a terrible runner. Now I'm a

Food for fuel, not an experience! No excuses! | Kevin...

2025/05/05

Food as an experience is the norm now. That's why so many people are "addicted" to their meals and struggle to lose weight.Once you realize food is meant for fuel, not an experience, you can change the way you see your plate. Making this shift was a game changer for me. Take control of your health by taking control of your plate! No excuses! Kevin Brewer Rise Again From The Struggle

The job of a culture... No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

2025/05/04

What is the role of culture? To set the tone for winning behaviors, not to make you feel good about yourself.So many people now think everything is supposed to be nice and not hurt your feelings. But the more people have to worry about saying the wrong thing and hurting your feelings, the harder it becomes to win. The best cultures are actually direct and to the point. That way, you spend less wasted time and get more done in less time. The people who helped me advance the most were also my

This warmed my heart the last couple of days.I don't know what it is about my bike that made this lady excited, but seeing someone who's going through some things be so happy because of a wave from a stranger on a motorcycle made my day. This just goes to show you that you just never know what you are doing that might be bringing joy to someone else, and you don't even know it's happening. No excuses!

It's not a lack of empathy.Men aren't lacking empathy or emotional intelligence. We just don't buy all your excuses to be a shitty person. We understand bad things happen to people, and sometimes, you don't handle it well in the moment. That's not an excuse to continue acting a fool and expecting everyone to continue dealing with your inability to adapt to your life. I can help you learn the skills to adapt and grow. But I will also call you out when you don't ask for help and expect others to

I'm a little feisty tonight, lol.The world is so soft now. We have to find a way to agree during every discussion? Nope. We can simply disagree. We don't have to agree to continue doing exactly the same thing. If your feelings are hurt, that's fine. It's called being alive.

The OODA Loop is a great tool to help you problem solve on the fly.Observe - this weekend we observed that our bodies weren't going to hold up for that race, let alone the weekend if we didn't change something. Orient - we repositioned our tactics to respond to our reality. We didn't fight the truth and let our ego ruin the weekend.
