TOTD: Why you’re always the leader even when you’re not ✋🏼

No matter what role you are, why you’re still a leader.

In this video, I discuss:

  • Collegiate dance teams
  • Being the victim vs. taking responsibility
  • Why you’re always the leader, regardless of your role in an organization

As usual, let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions for “Thought of the Day” topics. I respond to every comment 🙂

TOTD: Why we hate on noobs at the gym

The true reason why we are mean to others who cannot keep their resolutions.

This video was inspired by a Facebook post my friend shared recently.

It was about a woman who was new to a gym being bullied by other members for not knowing how to use the equipment.

I dig into the true reason why we hate on people who cannot keep their New Year resolutions to work out longer than 2 weeks into the year.

TOTD: How to Eat Less Junk Food

How I trained myself to eat less junk food.

Thought of the Day 

Key idea: training yourself to associate how you FEEL 10-15 minutes after you eat the food instead of associating the food with those feelings of instant gratification when you first take a bite.

Now, I’m not saying I don’t eat junk food nor do I hate junk food. But my cravings and desire to eat them often has decreased significantly.

TOTD: What Makes Us So Unhappy?

Thought for the day 

Key idea: The easiest way to make ourselves unhappy is to compare ourselves with other people. Therefore, to increase happiness, we have to stop this.

Easier said than done, given how social media encourages us to show our “best sides” and the “highlight reel” of our lives.

I reality, many times we’re just trying to impress people we don’t even like. And we can’t help but be envious of those around us who seem happy and successful.

But more often than not, those who seem to have perfect lives on the outside might be struggling with the same insecurities as us.

Some of my favorite books on this topic:

Thoughts? Do you agree? Disagree? What else makes us unhappy?

TOTD: Is “Love” a Feeling or Action?

My thoughts on how to define “love”.

Morning thoughts during my commute to work 🚙

I had this thought while reflecting on a recent book I read The Gifts of Imperfection and wanted to capture my ideas.

Main idea: If we wait for a feeling to act, we’ll never do it. But if we act first, we’ll produce the feeling. This applies not only to going to the gym and working out but also to love, in my opinion.

Thoughts? How do you define love? Agree or disagree?
