RFP Podcast Episode #284 – Ultra Dad Session #92: “Unfinished Human Beings.”

The title of todays episode comes from the book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck. If you are not familiar with her, she has studied the differences between the growth & fixed mindset; essentially how we can change from one to the other. This particular part of the book had talked about sustaining and practicing change, growth and improving vs. there being a “silver bullet” or that “one big thing” that makes the difference.

Have some firsthand examples that were pretty funny too 😊! At least from my perspective.

Listen to the most recent episode of my podcast: RFP Podcast Episode #284 – Ultra Dad Session #92: “Unfinished Human Beings.”     

How’d we get here?

The Ultra Dad’s Podcast came from an idea Cindy Shane created.  Well, she planted the idea in our head after listening to the first time Bryan was on the RFP Podcast in May 2020.  There have many times over the years when we speak on the phone or in person the “we should be recording this” line comes out.  Well, here we are jumping in with both feet, like we tend to do, sharing with you our perspectives on life.  Let’s be candid – we are not perfect, and we fail often.  Our favorite term to use is “it’s not ideal” and there have been countless times we’ve uttered, “a plan is great until you are punched in the face;” – but we do laugh a lot, at ourselves and/or each other mostly 😊.  All that said, there are those brief moments where things tend to fall into place and we, somehow, make it to that finish line – as ultrarunners yes, but most importantly has husbands, fathers, friends, and human beings.  We wanted to share those imperfections and those incredible moments that we’ve been fortunate enough to experience together over the last 30+ years.  So, sit back, grab a cold one, and hopefully this will be another time where things fall into place. Bryan & Mike

I pray my kids learn these values💖🦋⠀ If you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. Amen! #howiwasraised I know that whenever the negative self talk starts, its up to US and us alone to change it. ⠀ ⠀ Self love is a foreign language to most of us. We have been speaking “self hate” fluently for years, and most of the people around us are speaking it too, it’s normal but it doesn’t have to be this way. ⠀ ⠀ When you realize that hating yourself doesn't make life better and you want to learn how to live in self love— you have to practice, be forgiving and be patient. Every single day. Just like everything else, if we don't use it, we LOSE it. #itisapractice⠀ ⠀ So let’s focus on practicing “self love” together, a new way of speaking to ourselves. I hope that if we keep showing up, day after day, thought after thought, with grace and kindness, and we continue to challenge those self depreciating thoughts, one day we could all be speaking self love fluently to ourselves and to each other.. wouldn't THAT be an amazing world to live in?!⠀ ⠀ #wevegotthisfriends #loveyourself #lovethyneighbor #peace (at Edmonton, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0_ddyAnGc/?igshid=1ly32ydfifkx5

Feeling good today...had some time to chill out and educate myself while updating my new phone on the wifi @muggswigz and while @nick_comsia_someday went to test drive a car 🚗... before falling asleep last night, I made sure to practice my #japamala on which I stated #iamgrateful . I wanted to focus on the many people and circumstance in my life that I am grateful for so I didn't go to bed grouchy and unappreciative. Gratitude always helps me keep it real...it's hard to be grouchy while practicing gratitude. A quote from this new book I'm reading, "..At the same time, we ought to make an effort to understand, and promote as best we can, Yoga as a spiritual tradition, since fitness, health, and beauty surely cannot give us lasting happiness and deep-level freedom." Ahhhh, good sigh 🙃 Be well friends 💛���🏻 #downdogma #practicegratitude #itisapractice #yogaandspirituality
