Routines make things happen on autopilot. But what happens when your routine isn't up to the task of taking you where you want to go? In order to really thrive, long term, we need to break out of the comfort zone and step into the "challenge zone". But stray even just a little bit too far and you'll undermine your self-improvement efforts and be swept away in the "overwhelm zone". Enter the ritual. A ritual, for our purposes, is essentially a intentional, mindful, and super-charged routine that can power your day. On this episode, Josh argues that there are 4 key opportunities for rituals on most given days and that before attempting to integrate a change, you should see if it makes sense to insert that change in one of these key moments. Also:-Water boils at 203 degrees F in Denver. -Is sautéing the MOST important cooking skill? -Josh details the key elements of his morning ritual. -Jordan commits to drinking a half glass of water every morning first thing for the next 2 weeks.

Josh and Jordan start to dig into the "deep tracks" of coaching (although learning your hunger cues is arguably one of the most paramount skills to master).Hunger cues are usually on a sliding scale from overstuffed to starving. But one of the biggest problems with changing the amount of food that you eat is not correctly interpreting your cues. The coaches talk stomache, head, and energy cues.Also on this episode: is intuitive eating possible?

It's normal to feel nervous about working out whether you're a beginner or not! But if that starts to cross the line into exercise anxiety or is pre-occupying your thoughts so much that you can't get into action, then you need some strategies! Josh and Jordan cover 3 main areas that beginning exercises and even advanced athletes have to deal with: 1. Location: This includes self-consciousness (what do others think about me), unfamiliarity with a new space, being confounded by what others are doing (hint, it's not always great training that you'll see out in the wild). 2. Exercise itself: this includes feeling clumsy, discomfort avoidance, and fear of injury. 3. Worry about the process. Can I actually change? Will I waste my time and money? Also in this episode:Jordan prints a retraction about Olympic lifting!
