The Motivation Continuum - How to get out of low motivational state

Today I'm emphasizing the vital importance of daily movement and maintaining a full range of motion to prevent stiffness and injuries, a contrast to the effortless mobility observed in children. I talk about my own personal experiences of various injuries, illustrating how they can severely impact daily activities and lead to a cycle of compensation that exacerbates further injuries. I also highlight the gradual reduction of range of motion over time, which can leave individuals vulnerable to injuries when engaging in activities requiring greater flexibility.I also discuss the significance of synovial fluid in joint health, produced through movement, and differentiated between flexibility and mobility, noting that many people experience pain due to a lack of awareness regarding their physical limitations. Through my Bulletproof program, my aim is to restore clients' mobility and flexibility, ultimately helping them avoid injuries and enhance their overall movement capabilities.Today's episode was a little bit more educational than story telling so I hope you enjoy the change up of topic and style in today's episode! Talk with you all next week! 

Long time no see! I've been MIA from the podcasting game and I apologize, it can be hard to run a podcast, your own coaching business, social media, taxes, clients workouts, exc. But with my new move, time for the podcast once again will be possible and priority for me because I believe one of the best ways I can connect with you all and really share my expertise in personal development is through podcasting in long form content so you can hear how I analyze and articulate my thoughts as I process through them and use these lessons in your own life. Today I'm going over the last 2 years of my life as I'm getting ready to move over to the West Coast of Florida and live in St. Pete and grow my coaching business in that area. In today's podcast I go back to some of the toughest times I went through these last two years: my knee injury, getting kicked out of a friends house and being told by that friend he thinks I'm going to be a failure, having to move back in with my mom, relationship break ups and more. These tough times could've broken me and made me give up on my dreams, instead I talk about how I used these "unfortunate circumstances" and use them to my advantage and how you can do the same in your own life. If you're over on the west coast of Florida hit me up and let's train! If you're just an avid listener I promise to get back to regular podcasting for you and I appreciate your support! Talk soon! Chris Page

In today's episode I am talking with you about what to do after you've started using the motivation continuum and have started to workout consistently but feel like you still don't "look" like you workout. Today we are talking about how to cut the "fat" out of your life. The fat I'm referring to today are the next couple things that can hold someone back from being an averagely fit person to a very fit and happy person. I'm talking about cutting out the people in your life who are keeping you in the same spot. I'm talking about finally overcoming the hurdle of tracking your food and actually understanding what's going in and what's going out. I'm talking about setting proper boundaries so you can create enough space for you to be consistent long enough to see results and you creating boundaries to allow space for the right people to come in your life who aren't going to self sabotage you. I got fired up on this one because I remember having to go through this stage (side note you will continually have to do this as you grow...its not a one off) and how hard it is so Im very passionate about telling you all the truth of what it really takes for you all to live to your highest potential! ITS.ALL.DAY.I hope you enjoy the podcast and if you did please subscribe and review the podcast with 5 stars to help me grow this channel and get bigger and better guests on! 

Today’s episode is my new way of tackling the question “I have low motivation, what can I do to increase my chances of feeling more motivated?“  (Download your continuum HERE) First thing to understand is that motivation is a feeling which means it comes and goes. It isn’t binary; you don‘t just have it or not. Motivation moves up and down a spectrum much like our emotions and feelings do. In today’s episode I’m sharing with you my concept around motivation. The spectrum of where motivation can go, the highest order as well as the lowest lows. If you can adopt this concept you will realize that there are certain actions and beliefs that will either keep you at one level of motivation and there are other actions and beliefs that can move you up and down the spectrum. When you realize this you see what maybe has landed you in a low state and also give you the confidence to now know how to move up the levels of motivation to the Highest Order.   Below is a link for you to download the PDF of this continuum so you can print and have easily accessible for you to check back on when you’re feeling low. Also attached is a blank continuum that you can use to fill out for any aspect of your life: Sleep Quality, Nutrition, Relationships, exc. I hope you find value from it : )Click HERE!! 

Last week I went to San Diego to visit my Aunt and Cousins for the first time in years!While on my way back from this trip I realized how much people suffer internally when it comes to their thoughts about their health and nutrition when traveling and I wanted to help them with a new framework. Today I talk about how: I didn’t log my foodMy routines were somewhat similar when I traveledI had an environment that leaned towards healthy eating and even was adjusted for my way of eatingMy trip involved a lot of walking and exploringTrained 4x on a 7 day trip (so trained more on vacation than at home recently because I actually had the time to workout and I missed it)Still had drinks every nightAte all the foods I wanted which included a massive burger, cake, tacos, exc.Breakfast was the same almost every day just like at home so I had some consistency no matter whatBrought a lot of snacks for the flights like Chomp sticks, protein bars, LMNT PacksTried to eat as healthy as I could at the airportsEven had 2 drinks on the plane ride homeAt a certain point I just stopped even thinking about if I’m hitting enough food or doing enough, that wasn’t the point of the trip, the point of the trip was to recharge, explore and have fun. None of those things require a 6 pack to achieve so why care so much about the food and your body when you’re on vacation.I was attracting people into my environment just because I was in such a good mood being switched off from work. That is way more magnetic than a sexy body I promise you.I also made a point of trying to be bold while I was on the trip because I know it’s going to be a little bit til I get my next planned break to keep me going so if I only have this week I better live it up and squeeze as much out of it as I can, so that way I feel good going into another period of disciplined consistency.If you want to enjoy your trip with food and health then you also need these periods of disciplined consistency where you say no to the foods, drinks, parties, exc. so you are in control of your work:rest ratio and you’re not just following along with what everyone else is doing because have different goals than they do.I hope you enjoy the episode and if you do please like and subscribe so you don't miss on the next episode! Also if you're listening please reach out and tell me what you like the most about the show so I can continue to improve it! Til next time!Chris Page

Today we sit down with Reagan Davis.Reagan is a fellow online coach who focuses on performance athletes and helping women get out of the mindset that “Smaller is better” and into a mindset around “fueling our bodies for performance will make us happier and healthier in the long run”. We dive into Reagan‘s backstory and how college athletics and the pressure of college led her into disordered eating. She then learned how to acknowledge it and work through it by focusing on her performance instead of her ”look”.This began her healing journey and her desire to help other women heal this disorder. We then dive into the pros and cons of social media and how it can effect our mindsets towards food.We then go into mindset with dealing with criticism and how to stop worrying about what others think of you.Then we shift gears and talk about faith and how Reagan is very faith led and focuses on heart posture. You’ll learn what that means in the show! This has been a big area of interest for me so very cool to hear Reagan share her perspective.We dive a little into relationships as well and the differences in men vs women when it comes to dating! I really enjoyed this conversation with Reagan and I hope you all do too! You can follow Reagan @reaganndavis1And if you enjoyed this episode please share with your friends and post on your story and tag me! If you do I will send you a free gift ;)

In today's episode I'm talking about TIME! Specifically this new concept I have around time after visiting my grandparents in their retirement community in Pensacola Florida.I realized that even if I live to 100 years old, that doesn't mean I have 100 years to do certain things I want in my life. I only have so much time as a single young adult to do certain things I want in my life. Once I reach a certain age in my 30s I'll be in a relationship, I'll start a family, etc. So this means that the time you have now to go after your goals is limited, its finite! You won't be getting this time back, so we have to take the risks and the chances now in life because those opportunities may never come back. I hope you enjoy the episode and if you do please give this podcast a 5 star review and share it on your social media so others can hear. If you share it please tag me @chrispage_coach so I can shout you out on my page and thank you properly! 

In today's show I summarize some of the key topics that were shared in another podcast by Chris Williamson and Jordan Peterson. That podcast was 3 hours long! I've condensed the main topics down to around 20 mins and added my own spin to these topics to make them more relatable to the listeners. The main topic and point of this show to challenge all of you to take up a new mental framework that states "You are morally obligated to do great things!". This concept has been lost over the years as our society is getting softer and our everyday lives are getting easier. The reason why you're obligated to do great things is because if you don't you will become bitter when seeing others around you who have taken the challenge and succeeded. When you see them conquer their fears and realize you never faced yours, you will become bitter...And when you become bitter, you bring darkness into the world instead of light. You may think you don't matter but you are part of a collective society and WHAT YOU DO MATTERS! So this podcast is here to motivate and urge you to go after whatever has been calling to you! Take the leap! 

Alex's Show Notes: “In this episode, we’re sitting down with one of my favorite humans, Chris Page, for an incredibly raw and authentic conversation. Let’s just say…. We love a man who can admit that he cries sometimes. But in all seriousness, Chris opens up about how he is currently navigating a toxic relationship and struggling to let go Something that he KNOWS no longer serves him. We talk about using Mirror Work as a tool, to heal our relationships with ourselves, and how profoundly the relationship with ourselves, and our inner child impacts relationship relationships with others that were navigating today. What is casual life update between friends, ultimately turns into grappling with the spiritual aspects of self reflection, will learning how to embrace these very new and very scary phases of our lives. Well, some of the things we discussed may seem “out there”, we hope to leave you all with actionable items of advice that you can begin implementing NOW, no matter where you are in your self development journey! Let us know what you think!  :)”
