Work Hard Play Hard | A Master Class For Your Life

Rebecca Louise is the rare guest to make two appearances on the show. She recently wrote a book called “It Takes Grit,” and there’s probably no one more qualified to write a book on the topic. Not only is she one of the top fitness icons in the world, but as a challenge to herself she’s been training to climb Mount Everest. Imagine how it must feel to be training for this just to have COVID hit and shut down access to the mountain. We talk about the frustration and challenge of that, as well as all of the ways she’s handled the challenges handed to her this year. It will offer you a great amount of perspective as you handle your own struggles. In This Conversation We Cover:  [04:57] What grit is [08:09] How to set goals that light you up [13:38] What happened when her Everest climb was cancelled [18:42] Where Rebecca is trying to improve her grit [23:30] Making it look easy by not complaining [29:18] Learning to step back from things you can’t control Resources: rebecca-louise.com @rebeccalouisefitness 1

Today’s Topic: The Pitfalls of Manifestation We’ve been talking a lot about manifestation lately, so let’s discuss how many people—including ourselves—do manifesting wrong. Manifesting is such a foreign concept to most of us that we have to break 30, 40, 50 years of ingrained habits in order to be grateful for what we have and excited for what the future is going to bring to us. You need to enjoy the process of manifestation instead of wanting to leave the situation you are in too strongly. In This Conversation We Cover:  [02:25] How manifesting can go wrong [04:15] Focusing on what you don’t want [09:30] Enjoying the desire of your manifestation [19:03] The Focus Wheel process Resources: Mastermind: workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind Connect with us on Instagram: @kimmurgatroyd | @robmurgatroyd Virtual mastermind: workhardplayhard90.com The Push Journal To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: workhardplayhardpodcast.com Work Hard Play Hard is a production of Crate Media

Today’s Topic: Finding the Right Why Recently, Kim’s been in a bit of a slump, feeling uninspired, unmotivated, and confused. But as Tony Robbins always says, when you’re confused, you’re on the verge of a breakthrough. Through examining her self-help toolkit, everything she’s learned from every mentor she’s had, and through a deep conversation with me, we were able to zero in on the problem: Finding a Why so exciting that it brings you to tears. With that in mind, we found a new Why that is going to dictate our future strategies and excite us moving forward.
