Self mastery requires we develop the ability to be still and observe our emotions.
To question them.
Why am I feeling this?
From here we gain a level of control instead of being ruled by them.
This has probably been my biggest lesson of 2024.
I moved to Thailand looking a different way of living only to realise what I needed was a different way of thinking.
A practice of gratitude has changed me for the better.
I’m back…… again.
Not going to lie it’s been a manic start to the year. I’m finally feeling settled in Koh Samui 🙌
Since my move on the 15th January I have been creating video almost every day. It’s been an amazing creative journey documenting things and putting my years of experience in the fitness industry into the content.
Here is todays video taking a deep dive into the running drills I use and why.
I hope you enjoy.

@Stoic_Mastery_ When you are happy and working towards your goals you make a positive impact on the world by being a better version of yourself.
It makes zero sense to limit yourself trying to please others.
@LiveLikeSamurai When we realise the value we hold to the world we shine brighter.
It's our responsibility to raise the standards for ourselves and the world around us.
We must embody everything we stand for and guide others.
Every journey starts with a single step.
That step is commitment.
To step into the arena of life and to test yourself.
It’s easy to talk a good game.
We can spend hours listening and watching others talk about their trials and their challenges.
It is almost as if we are doing it ourselves.
But much like drinking sea water to quench your thirst it never quite satisfies you.
To become the persons we believe ourselves to be requires one thing.
Courage.
Courage to put yourself in the arena, to expose yourself the harsh lessons it offers and to see how you stack up.
This is real personal development.
No hiding behind screens and bathing in comfort.
Exposed.
Let’s see if you are who you say you are.
I’m packed and ready.
135 miles.
4 days.
Alone.
Let’s f£&king go!

I’m raising money for @EACH_hospices
Please share and let’s see if we can’t raise some money for an amazing cause.

@LewisHowes When you realise that self doubt is a natural reaction to being outside your comfort zone you can accept it and lean into it.
Embrace the discomfort
I fell off the X train over the past couple of months.
Life.
But I’m back and I’ve never been more excited about what the future holds.
2023 changed my life.
2024 is going to be bigger and better.
I’ve got my first marathon on January 21st.
I’m moving to Thailand
Ultra marathon in Japan
And that’s just the start.
Empty the cup.
And start from the beginning.
Sometimes in order to move forward you have to let go of what’s holding you back.
With white knuckles we grip tightly to the familiar past.
Afraid of who we could become when we let go of everything we’ve known.
