Ep82 - How to Overcome Temptation

In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Starkey, someone who spreads positivity, encourages self-belief, and reminds people of the power of a smile. We discuss practical ways to develop a positive mentality, the daily habits that help us stay optimistic, and how to maintain a positive outlook even when life gets tough. Ryan also shares how he's turned personal challenges into purpose and how embracing a simpler lifestyle, including living in a camper van, has shaped his perspective on life. 🎧 Discover how to approach life with more positivity, build self-belief, and inspire others along the way.

I have spent many a time in the cycles of doing well, then messing it all up. I also know what it takes to regain control and live with discipline - consistently executing my habits over a long period of time, gaining massive results. I know what it takes to overcome negative emotions, temptations, and develop true resilience. In this episode, I explain WHY you fall back into old patterns - and HOW you can start being super-consistent and being in full control where NOTHING pulls you back.

I explain the steps I took to lose 91 pounds in 2020, and 36 pounds more recently. Every time I set out to lose weight, I succeed. This is how. And it's not just about weight loss.

Being treated unfairly? Going through a heartbreaking time? Getting hated on online? Whatever might be causing you to feel negative emotion, I'm going to show you have to be grateful for it, befriend it, and lean into it to fuel you into personal growth.

The opportunity is here! Take it or leave it - I don't care. But you should.

Reflecting on my self-improvement journey, I share why my own obsession with self-improvement has caused me to wobble continuously - and why programs like 75Hard can be detrimental for you and your goals.

'I'm never drinking again.' 'I'm sticking to my healthy eating this time.' But when 3pm hits, sod it, I'm getting a few beers or a tub of ice cream - or both! It all goes out the window. We just can't get through that moment of temptation or overcome the addiction. I am going to inform you that you can on this episode, and how to do that - way before that moment arises.

I've been involved in online self-improvement challenges, business challenges, fitness challenges, running challenges - and I am going to briefly discuss what I think you should do before taking on a challenge.

I am fed up of seeing people say 'discipline beats motivation' and 'start now!' and 'consistency is key.' I am going to set things straight. Not textbook coaching or ChatGPT talk. This is the actual setup of the 'trend words' we need to apply - IN ORDER - and the most IMPORTANT of all these words is the one NOBODY uses! This episode will get you out of a rut, overcome addiction, lose that weight, get in control, and adopt a new identity and lifestyle that will see you being your best version. This next 25 minutes will change everything.
