Have you trained today? Keep Exploring 💪 Follow me for more: @explorer.ernest I can’t emphasise enough the importance of maintaining your physical fitness - not only does physical training carry a wide range of health benefits but it also aids in your resilience. From a young age I was reminded of the importance of being physically ready to survive any situation - everyday was a training day for a future worst case scenario. No matter what your circumstances it’s important you find a way to exercise. I’m consistently inspired by those whom carry permanent disabilities and yet still achieve remarkable physical feats. #fitness #exercise #training #fit #traindaily #motivation #gym #trainingmindset #pushups #snow #alpine #winter #motivate #inspire #inspiration #coach #pt #crossfit #circuit #workout #body #circuittraining #circuitworkout #followme #resilience #resilient #resiliência #resiliencia #explore #keepexploring (at Kosciuszko National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgs6R9qJkT0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#650 #GetToKnowYourCoworkers Go to lunch. Talk about things other than work. Learn about their lives. Enjoy the time and build the relationship.  You will have a stronger bond and a more positive work environment where you enjoy working.  #bepositive #traindaily #eatwell #livewell #vegancoach #veganactor Pics: #vegan food #upsidedownfood  20190801 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8_lQqqBsKt/?igshid=1azluw97yrdfj

#649 #LaughWithCoworkers You are spending half of your waking hours during the week with them, why not enjoy it.  Of course, work needs to be done, but taking a break once in a while is helpful. Keep it lively.  Laugh with coworkers! #bepositive #traindaily #eatwell #livewell #vegancoach Pics: #vegan food #upsidedownfood  20190731 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Q-d9GD913/?igshid=m73u3yoco7ri

#648 #PlanAhead I have been going to a client's location for the last few months to attend their monthly all day planning sessions. It's important because they have a tremendous amount of work to do so this planning session helps them organize and prioritize their work.  We can definitely learn from that.  If there's much (or even a little) work to be done, it's important to plan. More often than not, things don't go as planned, but the act of planning is still valuable. You can determine priorities, risks and contingencies.  It is all valuable information to have and know.   Plan ahead!  #bepositive #traindaily #eatwell #livewell #vegancoach #vegan Pics: #vegan food. I'm glad they have vegan options during the planning session.  20190730 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5UroaaBNFq/?igshid=pcvw0zv5nmft

#647 #ControlYourBody I went to a tai-chi-like class with my wife, and it was all about controlling your mind and body. I am not going to say that I begin to know how it works, but it's a start.  The primary thing is to have the recognition that you are indeed in control. Once you have that knowledge, then almost anything is possible (within physics). The problem for many is getting to the first step. It's difficult and easy.  Difficult if you believe that you have no control. Then easy once you realize you are in control.  Put your mind to work.  Control your body!  #bepositive #traindaily #eatwell #livewell #vegancoach Pics: yes, it's #vegan food #upsidedownfood and no, it wasn't all for me. I have control!  20190729 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5SNWqhB7SD/?igshid=210x00vk79rb

#646 #EnjoyYourWork I've had the opportunity to meet many people while traveling, especially in the service industry. By far, the most pleasant people to interact with are those that enjoy their work. You know who they are and how they interact with their customers. They are that flight attendant who is cracking jokes while making the onboard announcements and that driver who is courteous, friendly and talkative (and knows how to gauge the conversation to continue chatting or not). They are sincere in their expression of enjoyment. They don't take out their frustrations on the people they're serving.  I understand that we are not perfect. We will have off days. It's ok. Just remember that the person you are serving is not at fault for your bad mood. (Though sometimes they are. Don't let them rain on your parade.) Enjoy your work!  #bepositive #traindaily #eatwell #livewell #vegancoach #vegan Pics: #beach #sunset #nh Hampton Beach 20190728 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5OtzKsBk0h/?igshid=1lice7ehcs5vo

#645 #ClarifyMisunderstandings No matter how hard you try, there will always be misunderstandings, especially in the digital age where you may be reading what someone wrote, but not seeing their emotional state or tone.  It will happen at home, at work, at school. It can happen anywhere.  That's why it's important to look for signs that communication or lack thereof has been misunderstood.  For example, if someone appears to be getting flustered over what you did or said and it was not your intention to have them react in that manner, there's probably a misunderstanding. This applies to you as well if you are reacting strongly to a situation.  Identify that it could be a misunderstanding and work to bridge the communication gap.  Be patient. Emotions may be escalated. State facts and do your best to maintain a level head. It's sometimes best to revisit the situation once emotions have simmered.  It may be difficult, but it will be worth it.  Clarify misunderstandings!  #bepositive #traindaily #eatwell #livewell #vegancoach Pics: #tshirt #soa I was stationed at The School of the Americas for a time before it closed. This is a shirt "I" still have. Technically, it's mine, but my daughter mostly uses it. There was definitely a lot of misunderstanding over the school's purpose at the time.  20190727 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5J_wzKBfL9/?igshid=1cuk31ckl4b14

#644 #VolunteerToLead One of the requirements to becoming a Distinguished Toastmaster is to conduct a leadership project. It can be done within Toastmasters International or outside the organization. I chose an internal project.  I volunteered to be the Chairperson for a local Toastmasters Leadership Institute makeup training session. I must say I learned a great deal and am glad I had a core team who supported me.  It was a challenge, but well worth it.  Leading helps develop skills that you don't normally use as an individual contributor. If given the opportunity, take it. You will learn many valuable lessons. (Just make sure to ask for help along the way. Great leaders will help you.) Volunteer to lead!  #bepositive #traindaily #eatwell #livewell #vegancoach Pics: #sunset #beautiful 20190726 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HeRfKBXrI/?igshid=s8h5fyubqqej
