Transforming Our Behaviors For Massive Change!

Today I made a conscious decision to get out of my comfort zone and REALLY mix things up! Normally I train at an overcrowded, low-energy 24 hour fitness. It is just a gym to me and nothing special beyond that.

Since I am fortunate to live within 45 minutes of the Mecca, Golds Gym Venice, I made the drive and opted out of cardio at 24 Hour Fitness. The moment I walked in, I could feel the difference. The energy in the gym was tangible. You could slice it with a knife. Famous athletes, actors/actresses, legendary bodybuilders and regular folks all frequent the gym. Each of those people wants to experience the most famous gym on the planet.

Today was just a cardio day. I warmed up for a few minutes on the treadmill and to my left was actor Ray Liotta! Cool! After warming up, I decided to do elliptical instead of treadmill and moved across the room, giving me a different vantage point. Right in front of me there is well known Bodybuilder Dennis James with legendary trainer Charles Glass pumping away. Then Stone Cold Steve Austin goes walking by! Is this place for real? I'm not star struck. It did feel strange though to be surrounded by so many well known folk's all inside the same room. An old friend from college, and pro-bowler, Brendan Ayanbadejo came up and chatted for a few minutes. I hadn't seen him in 5 years. The trip to Gold's was worth it already! On the way out, I see Tito Raymond training a client and Shawn Ray and Lonnie Teper coming in to do a shoot for Ironman magazine's preview of the upcoming Arnold Classic. What a start to the day!

The point of the story is not to name drop all my celebrity sitings. It was to show that when we do things out of the "ordinary," "unordinary" things start happening to us! More on this topic in a second…

I walked to the famous Firehouse grill after leaving Golds Gym. The diner is famous for its bodybuilder friendly menu and great food. I kept the diet clean with egg whites and oatmeal. Before returning to my truck for the next adventure of the day, I stopped off at Max Muscle, owned by Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler, to purchase meal replacements and ensure that I wouldn't miss a single one of my six meals for the day.

I headed for Hollywood next. Driving up sunset I pass Mel's Diner, Saddleranch, the Standard and a host of other well-known Hollywood hotspots. Continuing up into the foothills, I arrived at the trail head for Hollywood sign. This is considered Hollywoods best-known landmark and certainly most photographed. I had never been!

With a bottle of water and a camera, I set out on an hour long hike to get up close and personal with the sign. I'm not a hiker. Never been a hiker before. I am a hiker now! WOW did those hills feel awesome on my legs! The weather was incredible. The air was crisp, the sky blue, and the sun seemed to warm me from the inside out. I really felt happy being out there. I even took the opportunity to work on my tan. How many places on earth can you have your shirt off in February and be warm?

I jogged and hiked to as close as legally possible to the sign. I proudly took a few pictures with the famed sign in the background before turning to head back. I discovered that trail running is not easy, and it is definitely not a treadmill. I toughed it out and jogged all the way to the bottom of the hill and my legs are sore now!

An important lesson came to me today. I once learned in a seminar that the habits that enabled the speaker to become a multi-millionaire worldwide, are the same habits that prevented him from being a billionaire. Do not overlook this. This man has tremendous "financial" success, and he admits that he is in his own way. The actions and behaviors that brought him such tremendous financial gain are preventing him from achieving the next level in life. What a re-frame!

In the past I was never a hiker and was never interested in hiking. If one hike per month meant the difference between being an ultra-fit person and an average joe, I never would have known. Hiking was not an activity or behavior I participated in or even thought about for that matter. When we look at each aspect of our life and ask how can we shake them up. What can we do to force ourselves out of our own way, we will uncover limitless opportunities.

Respected businessman and billionaire Bill Gates struggles with creativity at times like any other human. He once drove a different route home from work each day for an entire year and never repeated himself. New neural pathways literally formed in his brain from the forced behavior and lead to massive changes in his personal and professional life.

This could mean new foods, spices or a change in your running route. Perhaps a new workout partner, fresh running shoes or different gym would be the answer for you. Avoid eating the same foods twice in the week and force yourself to grow your healthy food choices expand your dinner menu. By implementing these disciplines into your routine, you increase your odds of long-term fitness success and ultimate transformation.

As the saying goes, a mind once expanded can never contract to its original size. The behaviors that got us where we are today are likely holding us back from what we really want. Successful entrepreneur and mega millionaire, Bill Phillips, spoke of his vision 10 years ago in Body of Work, when he explained how he materialized his dream of owning a red Lamborghini. At that point in time, Bill defined exactly what he wanted and went about changing his actions and behaviors in order to get the car and attain "success." He has since far surpassed the red sports.

Everything begins in thought, for every single one of you. If you want a better body, more health, a partner in life, younger looks, you must define exactly what it is. With the information and strategies shared here, doesn't the process seem all the more practical when you do things differently?

I wish you a life of abundance! Have an AWESOME DAY!

Transformation Chiropractic and Wellness Center Missoula MT: Experience the Difference!

Transformation Chiropractic Missoula MT is run by its owner, Dr. Shaun Stuto who recieved his Chiropractic training at the Southern California University of Health Sciences.

Dr. Stuto believes that the body is an intelligent and self-healing organism that responds innately to the type of care and attention that it is given. He takes a holistic approach which he considers much more than physical factors or "symptoms" when promoting overall health.

Something that is key to the work that Dr. Stuto does is the education he gives his patients on how emotional health can manifest as a physical condition. He firmly believes that focusing on just the pain will be doing the patient a disservice. The pain should be viewed as a warning that specific factors in the body's overall system needs to be addressed. This kind of time, attention and whole body/life approach is something that is quite a departure from the healthcare practices that are normally found in Missoula or elsewhere in Montana.

It is his study of Neuro Emotional Techniques and Applied Kinesiology that sets Dr. Stuto apart from other chiropractors. He does not believe that isolating a symptom does any good without looking at the structural, biochemical and emotional aspects of what's going on in the body. This is what Applied Kinesiology is all about - an integrated approach to overall health.

Most doctors in private practice find it more time and cost efficient to treat the symptoms that patients come in with directly so as to offer immediate relief. Of course, the problem with this type of approach is that patients will need to come back repeatedly for the same type of temporary band-aid fixes. Doctors that are overbooked and overworked may simply want to diagnose the effect instead of the cause in order to get to the next patient. What about the patient with no symptoms. The medical doctor can do very little other than give a pat on the back and thumbs up. Dr. Stuto can help a person maintain their function at an optimal level by keeping the nervous system free of interference.

Dr. Stuto makes it his goal to spend the necessary time to ask as many questions as possible to get to the underlying cause of a problem. An average visit could go anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. Visit length is up to the patient, their goals, and their circumstances.

In order for his patients to fully embrace the holistic approach that Transformation Chiropractic espouses, Dr. Stuto considers it his duty to request that patients take an active role in their own healing. He helps them to uncover, understand and take ownership of the things that occur in their lives, whether good or bad. When you start to take ownership of everything that happens to you, your beliefs about where health comes from will change. You will now understand that thriving health and wellness comes from the inside out.

Most of the Transformation Chiropractic patients deeply understand these principles and do take an active, integrated approach to their health. They work out vigorously and incorporate other healthy habits such as good nutrition and empowering self-talk into their daily routines.

Dr. Stuto views regular chiropractic treatments as an investment in yourself, preventative health care and a commitment to your own health and wellness. This is an ongoing journey and not a destination that should ever end. As long as you are on the journey, you will continue to reap the value and results that it offers. Patients understand the importance of an optimal nervous system and choose to get adjusted because it is the best thing they can do for their health.
