League of Wildness,

Motivation and Discipline are two very different concepts that I believe often times get confused and/or misused.

Motivation is all in your mind and discipline is all in your actions.

You are what you did so make sure you are taking action and not just getting excited/motivated to potentially do something.

League of Wildness,

I just posted this as my currently favorite quote, "Relentless Forward Progress". It's been a very useful concept for me in 2023 and I hope my experience sparks some thought in yourself.

3. Walking/steps - do we need to mix it up more? If you have a 10,000 step goal, is there a difference between whether you get the majority of those steps in a long walk vs scattered throughout the day doing chores and yard work and shopping? Or a mix of everything?

League of Wildness,

We're back with a solo-cast from @wilddanvinson. 

Mr. Money Mustache recently posted an excellent article after he'd consumed 80+ of content from Dr. Andrew Huberman. Pete (aka Mr. Money Mustache) also made an excellent chart comparing and contrasting what he termed the "Default" vs "Science" lifestyles. This inspired me to make a chart comparing the "Standard" vs "Wild" lifestyles.

My #1 question is: why do we need a Neuroscientist to prescribe a lifestyle that would probably be obvious to our grandparents? This is the question that continues to haunt me.

League of Wildness,

We're back with a solo-cast from @wilddanvinson. 

I saw an article about how consistently diets DO NOT work and it made me consider the importance of longterm repeatability. Specifically, if you are going to pursue something to improve your health and fitness it MUST be consistently repeatable for essentially - the rest of your life. Interestingly - as you get healthier there will come a point where to get even healthier it will take massive effort to continue to improve your health. At this point, the focus can start to shift towards maintenance. 

In this episode:

• The gold standard of any practice is repeatability.
• Why unprocessed foods can help a ton to reduce caloric load.
• Thinking about nutrition and diets as a practice.
• ...and much more!

League of Wildness,

We're back with @wilddanvinson and @kimbreimeier.

In this episode:

• A quote by ultrarunner Courtney Douwalter: 
  “The best way for me to train right now is no coach, no plan, and really just tuning into those signals – physical, mental, emotional,” she says. “Then every day I can assess myself and see where I’m at for the day." Have you tried this approach and does it work for you? Do you need a plan going into your workout or do you feel your way through it?
• We often talk about "listening to your body", but knowing that we often aren't honest with ourselves, does this result in gaps in our health/fitness?
• When you are out in places like airports, waiting at appointments etc, do you notice things about people and their health patterns? Have you noticed that anything has changed in the last 5-10 years?
• Do you talk to your kids about fitness and nutrition, or do you mostly set an example? 5. What food do you think is the most underrated in terms of how much you get for your money?

• ...and much more!
