Episode 121: The function facade

Its time to stop chasing the exotic shortcuts and focus on embracing the mundane. Everyone wants the quick wins, but very few, want to embrace the long and consistent process that could lead to the progression you want to see. We use the example of triathlon / endurance sports, where there is a culture of buying equipment, in the hope, this will offset a lack of training consistency or focus on the mundane areas that matter. Are you ready to learn how to embrace the mundane and find it exciting, rather than getting disappointed by the perception of exotic shortcuts?

This is a new concept that has recently been created about comfort thresholds and the value add you can make to the world BUT why do we often see people shy away from discomfort and therefore, lower the amount of value that they can add?

Lyd chats through some key examples of how, actually, this podcast has helped her to push past her comfort threshold...

Do you ever stop and think about how the seconds add up? The margins you might be missing, by letting seconds go by without being deliberate about how you are using them?

The function facade - what is it? And how do you know if you have one? Do you find you perform really well in some parts of your life, for example, you are in a senior role at work, but find in other parts of your life, it might feel more chaotic and reactive? This is the function facade! Being in a state of high/ elite function, is one where every part of your life is in a place of high function, and all in balance and complimenting each other. In this episode, we dive into this topic and how to overcome this facade so you can simply, be the best version of you!

Do you back yourself to create the future you want to have? Or do you look to others, to take responsibility to make it happen for you? In this episode, Tom and Lyds share what they have learnt about their experiences of taking the time to back and trust themselves, whether this be athletic or professional decisions. Take the example of writing an individual a training plan, with the expectation that if if I do 'x,y,z', it will deliver an outcome, rather than working with a coach as a team, to develop the strategy and plan together and both know, what that could result in. Its time to trust yourself and own your destiny!

Passive self sabotage is a BRAND NEW concept that Lyd and Tom have developed this week. It is all the things that essentially, you aren't doing and might not even realise this is the case... for example, you want to get more sleep, but always let the temptation of another episode on a box set override that? We set you guys an activity as well to do, to help you identify how you might be passively self sabotaging and to work out actions to overcome this. Awareness is the first step...
