Living the Warrior Lifestyle


Years ago I wrote down what I considered to be the essence of living the warrior lifestyle and I called it “The Warrior Code” – original, I know! 🙂

Just so you are aware, here is my original “warrior code”:

  • Warriors train to push their body and mind to the limits, and find new ones
  • Warriors are strong to protect and defend self and others
  • Warriors know that not fulfilling their utmost potential is cheating themselves and robbing the world of their brilliance
  • Warriors are knowledgeable knuckledraggers
  • Warriors strive to always become stronger every day

Not bad, right???

But in the past few years I’ve taken it even further.

From the very start of my warrior journey, I’ve always held that the martial arts are a microcosm of life.

And now, my own personal warrior training has become a metaphor for how I live my live. Essentially, my warrior training has become the overarching guiding philosophy in my life, my business, my teaching, and my interaction with all those around me.

I have reaped the benefits of living the warrior lifestyle and would now like to share them with you.

So I am introducing a brand new coaching program…

Warrior Lifestyle Coaching

We are always told that we have unlimited human potential. But sometimes it doesn’t feel that way.

How do we access it?

One of the hallmarks of many warrior cultures is their ability to delve deeply into the psyche and access the full range of human abilities.

How would it feel to be able to access your full human potential in mind body and spirit?

That’s the goal of this coaching program.

Some of the areas we will cover are:

  • How to motivate yourself for best possible results
  • Ninja tactics for goal setting and attainment
  • Warrior time management – How to get incredible results in your training even on the busiest of schedules. Or perhaps you have too much time on your hands and can’t figure out how to organize it
  • The Warriors mental training – sharpening your mind to a razors edge to be able to handle and instantly respond to any stress or challenges life can throw at you
  • Essential Warrior Philosophical principles to incorporate into your life that will guide & streamline your thinking and decision making ability to rapidly and correctly chose the right path for your life
  • Walking meditation exercises with breath work for problem-solving, deep thinking, rapid change of your energetics state
  • The Warrior’s Mindset training – the happiness principle]
  • How to stop the demon of distraction dead in its tracks and really get shit done
  • And, of course – a completely individualized personal warrior program to get you in the best shape of your life

Sound like something that’s been missing from your training and that you absolutely NEED in your life?

Powerful Morning Ritual To Start Your Day


Here is a great way to set yourself up for success on a daily basis.

Spend the first hour of each day working on your own personal development. Discipline yourself to get up earlier and work on yourself each morning – This powerful practice will literally transform your life!

 

The Hour of Power

Step 1 – 5 minutes is dedicated to gratitude

Practice being grateful for all the people in your life and everything you have. When you start from a place of gratitude each morning, it’s much more powerful to begin each day from a place of abundance, realizing just how many things are going right in your life, rather than coming from a place of lack.

Step 2 – 5 minutes for writing your goals

Take a fresh sheet of paper and write out all your goals on a daily basis – health goals, financial goals, personal development goals, relationship goals, career goals, etc. When you write your goals make sure to write them in the first person and as if they are already accomplished.

For example, if you have a goal to earn one million dollars in your business, you would write – “I earn $1,000,000 in my business.”

Step 3 – 10 minutes of meditation or visualization (prayer fits in here too)

Visualize your goals as if you had already achieved them.

Every morning I sit down on the floor, close my eyes and focus on my breathing.

After each exhale I retain the breath because this is when your body is most quiet – after an exhale, before the next inhale – and silently say to myself, “Every day in every way I am getting stronger and stronger. Every day in every way I am getting better and better.”

I say it several times while holding the breath on the exhale, each time more intently.

When I open my eyes, I am clear, focused, charged up, and ready to start my day!

Here’s a short video I made describing the process…

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

Step 4 – 20 minutes of exercise – begin with mobility and deep breathing with bodyweight exercises.

Do you jump out of bed every morning brimming with energy, ready to take on the day?  Yeh, me neither. 🙂

What I have found is that doing 3 simple exercises as soon as I get out of bed in the morning helps to rev up my energy levels and kick start my day.

Tomorrow morning, and every morning after that, I want you to perform the following 3 exercises.  You will be amazed at the powerful effect they have on stimulating your metabolism and getting you ready to kick butt for the day!!

What are the 3 exercises?

  • Breathing Push-ups x 10
  • Breathing Squats x 10
  • Breathing Leg Raises x 10

For each exercise, exhale fully and deeply (diaphragmaticly) while lowering down, and inhale fully and deeply by expanding the belly when raising the body.  Make sure to fully actualize the breath in every movement.

That’s all.  Just one set of 10 for each of those 3 exercises to kick start your day.

Step 5 – 20 minutes dedicated to reading

Great warriors train all the time. Reading is a form of training that must be practiced by the warrior on a daily basis. Feeding and training the mind is just as important as feeding and training the body. Remember – knowledge is power!

Fill your mind with creative, positive and motivational ideas, concepts, and philosiphies – reading is the key to success. Learn something new every day!

Here are 10 books that are a must in every warrior’s library. Expand your mind and pick up these books!

(PS – don’t have a full hour in the morning? change the amount of time spent in each area to fit your schedule)

You will find this powerful practice a great way to start your day and propel you towards success in every area of your life. Make sure that you implement it tomorrow morning!

Quit or Destroy

When faced with a seemingly insurmountable obstacle in life, you really have only 2 options – go forward or go backward.  Backward is to quit, to give up, to walk away.  Backward is not a viable option unless you don’t mind living with regret.  But regret is a pain that does not go away.  It haunts you forever.  It’s like dying a little bit each day, over and over again for the rest of your life.  No thanks.  Not for me.  Pass.
