Are you a thermometer or a thermostat?Weird question, but stay with me. A thermometer simply reacts to the environment and tells you the temperature. A thermostat sets the temperature, and the environment reacts to the thermostat. So, do you set the standard for your environment or react to it? No excuses!

Lead by example. My trainer took pity on me tonight, but I couldn't get that out of my head. So, I finished the two sets she switched out on my own. I had to prove to myself that I could push through that mental pain that accompanied the physical pain and exhaustion. I had to push past that mental block and weak identity I was giving myself. I had to find a new limit or be stuck, knowing I didn't give it my all. How about you? Are you prepared to push past those limits? No excuses! Kevin

Be-Do-Have... No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise Again...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2024/08/13

Have, do, be vs. Be, do, have. I know, that's confusing by itself. Here's the breakdown.. Unsuccessful people believe they need to HAVE something in order to DO something so they can BE something. Successful people say in order to BE something they must DO these things to HAVE what they want. Unsuccessful people start by looking at the problems and make the excuse of needing something before they can act. Successful people start with the identity and build their habits to get what they

Plan for failure! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise...

2024/08/12

Plan for failure! I know, it's counterintuitive. A lot of people claim they don't have a plan B, but that's very misleading. What they really mean is they have one PRIMARY goal. That one doesn't normally change. But the second and third level goals to get to the primary goal might need a lot of changes. Those are the goals you spend the least amount of time seeing defining, yet they are extremely important to your success in reaching your top goal. The funny part is that if you plan for the

You can pickle a cucumber, but... No excuses! | Kevin...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2024/08/11

You can pickle a cucumber, but you can't undo it.Why does that matter to you? Because once your brain is pickled with weakness, it'll always want to revert to that. Why? Because it's less energy consumption and your brain is wired for survival only. There's good news, though. You can learn to strengthen your mind and build skills and tools to quickly and efficiently catch the slip and get back to achieving your goals. It takes work and isn't always pleasant. But that's the point. Nothing worth

If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail. When you have dietary goals and guidelines, it's easy to stay on track with a plan. I know that going into my wife's birthday dinner, we will have at least one dessert. Although this is not typical for me anymore, I have a plan. During the day, I will prioritize my protein goals and keep my intake of everything else lower. At dinner, I will finish up my protein, then fill in the rest with whatever I want. Planning for special occasions helps you

Don't overthink everything! No excuses! | Kevin...

2024/08/09

Don't overthink everything. I have a short, yet effective, workout for my off days or days that I'm pressed for time. It starts in the mind, though. If your mindset is wrong, you will struggle to find solutions for the obstacles in front of you. Today, I faced a rainy day when I was going on my walk. I walked up and down the parking garage until I got my steps. Obstacle to solution. I wanted to get my workout in AND spend time with my wife tonight. So I moved my longer workout to tomorrow and

It's a choice! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2024/08/08

I used to think you needed to "force" yourself to do things you didn't want to do.Now I understand I have two choices. Choose to do the things that will help me achieve my goals. Or choose not to do them and set myself up for failure. It's that simple. There is no need to force anything. You either choose the path to success or choose the path to not achieving your goals. Which one are you going to choose? No excuses! Kevin Brewer Rise Again From The Struggle

High standards! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise...

2024/08/07

If you don't have high standards, you'll stay low. If you bend or break them for anyone, then it's not a standard. It's a suggestion.Here's the other side, too. You better be living those standards yourself! You need to be an example. There's a saying: your actions are so loud I can't hear what you are saying. Set the bar high. Act in accordance with your standards. Make it right quickly if you slip up (nobody is perfect). Demand the same from those in your circle, or they have to go. No

Value yourself! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise...

2024/08/06

Self-development and self-improvement are the most unselfish things you can do. That's not a typo. Not bettering yourself or taking care of yourself is selfish. Nothing will ensure you can't help those you love faster than your failing health as you neglect all the signs just to help someone do something they can do on their own. You are their crutch. You are their plan when they want to be lazy or go do something to take care of themselves. Real respect comes when they know you value yourself

Crushing the weekend! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

2024/08/05

I dominated today! I pushed myself hard yet still had time to meal prep, business, and time with my wife. These next few weeks will be even more intense as I finish getting my mind and body prepared for my Spartan trifecta weekend. I was tired, a little sore, and had all the excuses I needed to stop. Yet I kept going. And added more. Then, I finished up with a walk to cool down and spend time with my wife. Why go through all that? Why didn't I just leave tonight at my workout and no run? Why add

Do it anyway! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise Again...

2024/08/04

Do it anyway!That was my day today. It wasn't complicated either. I create my routines and habits, then execute them. I don't rely on my feelings or motivation. Are you making these things harder than they need to be? Set the habit as part of your identity, then execute it. You don't need to be perfect. You don't need to feel like it. You can go slow or cut it down a little if timing is an issue. If something really does prevent you from the task, set it as your top priority the next day

Handling near tragedy! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

2024/08/03

How do you handle a near tragedy? Keep going! Well, mostly, 😂. Tough, scary, or moments of fear sometimes call for a little more to handle them. In moments like these, we need to have a release and refocus routine. Tonight, I experienced this as my attempt at a new move didn't go as planned. I didn't panic, though, because I have a routine to get going again when something like this happens. This doesn't happen by accident. I put the routine together and practice it at times when I don't need

2024/08/02

Control the controllables...What does that even mean? This means to put your focus on the things you can affect. You can't change the weather, so why let it dictate your emotions? You can't control how someone reacts to something, so why let their reaction change your attitude? Instead, put your time and attention on learning to communicate better. Focus on your self-talk, your attitude, and your effort. You can control those things. You don't have control over the result, but you do control

Identity crisis? No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise...

2024/08/01

It's easy to do, if you notice I did it here myself!But, you are not your issues. You are not the habits that are not optimal. When we use the language that we are those things, they guide our thoughts. You are not those things, though. You may have moments where those behaviors, feelings, or conditions exist. Yet, that still doesn't make that your personality or identity. Take away that label, and it's easier to see the bigger picture. You are much more than those things. You have so many

2024/07/31

I felt a moment of fear tonight and knew that was why I needed to just get started.The build-up, anticipation, or the unknown nature of things can play major tricks on your mind. If you let them run wild, they will stop you in your tracks. Fear is inevitable. You will feel it at some point. The question is, are you going to allow it to prevent you from trying? Or will you push through anyway? I have found that recognizing the feeling and accepting it has helped me continue moving through, even

Learning and unlearning. No excuses! | Kevin Brewer |...

2024/07/30

Whatever you learn, you can unlearn. That means all those habits and excuses you have that are keeping you from your dreams can change. You have to choose different. You have to be willing to look bad and learn a new skill. If you think you will be great at everything right out of the gate, you're wrong. You will suck. You will be before average at best. The funny thing is, though, as long as you don't give up, you will surpass all those who never tried or gave up after the first or second

Don't judge me! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise...

Rise Again From The Struggle ·

2024/07/29

Dial in that mindset! When we start judging our thoughts, we get in trouble. Instead, ask good questions. Curiosity leads to answers while judgments lead to excuses. I recently felt some extra joint pain and wasn't recovering like I thought I should. I could easily panic like I used to and think everything is going south. Instead, I investigate possible solutions. After a few self tests over the week, I figured out the solution. Don't let your head run away with all the problems. Use your mind

Practice? No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise Again...

2024/07/28

Practice makes perfect, right?Nope! Practice makes progress. But only if you practice with intention. So many people like to say they are practicing a skill, yet they aren't making progress. That's because there's a difference between putting in time and actually practicing a skill. If you do something wrong a thousand times without attempting to make a change, you're just getting better at being shitty at that skill. True practice has specific intent behind it. That means showing up with a

C > F = R Yep, we're doing math today! 😂 Ironically, I posted earlier about acting to create your feelings instead of waiting to feel like doing something. Well, here's another tip. I got this one from Success Hotline with Dr. Rob Gilbert. When your commitments are greater than your feelings, you get the results you want. Tonight, my commitments were far greater than my weak feelings. I not only got in a good workout, but my longer run to beat the weakness was one of my best runs to date
