Today. This moment is the time to be all that you dream of being. Don't wait, you may be afraid. You may feel like you're not ready, ...

Good morning everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today. I want to talk about how we treat ourselves, how we celebrate ourselves, how we encourage ourselves or how we don't. Think about this. Imagine you have a child or a parent or your husband or your wife and you both are going to go out and you're going to do some kind of a great challenge. Say, you're going to go run 10K. You've been working hard on this. You've been training hard and you've got these high expectations and you pe...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Sorry, I've got a hat on. So you can't see the bed head. I'm just out here on a beautiful walk and started getting so emotional, thinking about the past six months and, what I've been through and, sometimes thinking, how did I ever have that strength and that courage to get through all of that. Cause it was really hard. And that got me thinking, and I'm just so grateful. I just start crying, you know, looking around me at, you know,...

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. It's great to be back, My bed head is not quite what it used to be. but going through cancer, you lose all your hair.

And here I've got black and curly hair and I'm so deeply grateful because I have hair and I'm alive and it's such a gift. So this is what it's going to be for a while everybod...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the bedhead Chronicles. Today, I want you to think about. How hard or how easy do you make it for yourself to feel accomplished? I know a lot of people including myself. when I look back at my time in triathlon, I was learning how to feel accomplished just by making progress. [00:00:27] But in the beginning, I've felt like I needed to do something absolutely extraordinary to be worthy of feeling good about myself or feeling accomplished or feeling successfu...

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. I am here in the hospital with my amazing wife, Bek, whose been by my side every second. I'm so deeply grateful. But I was thinking today about how, especially in tough times or if we're experiencing something we don't want to be experiencing, we learn what we do want in life or where we want to go oftentimes by experiencing that which we don't want, that which we don't enjoy. So, part of those bad experiences is to remind you of the...

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles, or the Bald Head Chronicles as we are right now. I'm here today. I'm sorry. I've kind of lost my voice a little bit. Some of the things that happen when you have a bone marrow transplant or you're going through something like this, it's quite a long recovery process. I get a lot of sores inside my mouth. And I've been struggling quite a bit with lack of appetite, just not wanting to eat, having no taste. Yet knowing that we all need ...

Good morning, everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. As we know, we're all going through this really crazy time right now, and for a lot of you, and a lot of us, I'm sure you experienced quite a bit of anxiety and worry throughout the day, and maybe fear. I think the important thing to recognize is that that's very human. But the other thing to recognize is that we can catch ourselves when we're in these states, and find something else to think about or do that's going to actually make...

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I had the most amazing news. This is another example of finding the gift in the struggle. Obviously, this whole Coronavirus has been a really scary thing for all of us. Especially me, having just had my transplant five weeks ago, and being easily compromised -- it's been really scary. I had been living in an apartment in Denver, Colorado -- a beautiful apartment. My mom and my wife have been taking the most amazing care of me....

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. So I get admitted into hospital on Friday, and I know I'm going to be there for probably about a month. So what I've done is I've created some vision boards and also some memory boards so that I am constantly reminded of this incredible life that I live and what I hope for in the future because I am going to conquer this cancer.

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to offer up a thought for you because this is something I try and do in my life. I want you to love yourself so much that you only allow yourself to think thoughts that feel good. Basically choosing your own energy level every second of every day, no matter what's going on around you.

Good morning, everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to talk about death and dying. Yes, I know, it's a horrible thought. But think about it...whenever we are faced with the prospect of our own lives ending, or someone we love either dying or being faced with the possibility of death, what it does is that it inspires us. It inspires us to work to live our lives to its fullest potential. It inspires us to want to surround ourselves with love. It inspires us to live every m...

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want you to think about what are the rules that you set for yourself for things like being able to feel proud? Or being able to feel joy? What does it take for you -- or what do you have to accomplish in order to feel proud of yourself? Is it having to accomplish some long-held dream or goal that you've had? Or is it smiling at a stranger that makes you feel proud of yourself? I want you to think about how easy, or how hard,...

Today, I want to talk about loneliness. How many of you have had moments where you feel lonely if there's no one else around you? You try to find something to do -- try to watch a movie, read a book, you call a friend or you just try and do something to fill your time? What if that moment of loneliness is an invitation for you to connect with yourself? To connect with your soul, the things that you love, the things that you dream of or are proud of, or the things you wonder about in the world? W...

Today, I want you to recognize the power of your thinking. The power and the energy you put out into the world, every single day. Have you ever had a day where you started thinking, "Ugh, it's going to be such a hard day... Ugh, these things that I have to deal with...these people that are problems..." And inevitably, it's a hard day. The energy that you put out there -- the experience is going to vibrate and match that vibration you're putting out and send you the same vibration. In the journey...

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. So, I now have a clear plan of what my next few months are going to look like. What I've discovered is, probably around February 14th, I will be going into the hospital to get prepared for my stemcell transplant and recover from it. Once I can leave the hospital, which will be about 2-4 weeks after the transplant, I have to live in Denver so that we're in close proximity to the hospital. We've rented an apartment there so we're all set ...

I am headed to the hospital for Day 3, Cycle 2, for treatment with my amazing, A-team wife wearing her Bed Head Chronicles sweatshirt. She's taking me once again, every day. I'm so deeply grateful to have her love, support, and devotion. And as we were driving, I was thinking about certain beliefs that we developed growing up. Maybe you had a teacher that you informed that you wanted to be a scientist but said, 'There's no way. Your grades aren't good enough. You'd never be a scientist.' Maybe y...

Good morning everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to talk about how often we ask ourselves the question, "What am I doing wrong? What have I done wrong? What am I missing?" The question of lack. When really, the question should be "What am I doing right? What do I have? What do I need to continue to do? What's wonderful?" For some reason, we all tend to focus on the negative when it should all be focused on the positive. For example, I got through the first cycle of thi...

Now, my dream is that I would be in remission after the first cycle so that I can go into my bone marrow transplant. This would mean that I am moving forward and getting closer t...

Good morning, everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to talk about being afraid and feeling fear. We all feel fear. When something matters to us we feel fear. I used to feel fear going into every single race that I raced, every school session that I did in preparation for those races, and I feel afraid, now, going into or being in the midst of the biggest challenge of my life. The reason why I want to talk about fear so openly is that we all get afraid. We all feel fear. ...

Her groomers do such a beautiful job. The dogs are happy to come and sad to leave and it's absolutely amazing. So, because it's ...

I was doing an interview the other night and this...
