Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today I want to talk about negative people. How many of you have someone in your life that whenever you talk to them or see them after you've seen them, you just feel so down, because they're talking about all the problems they've encountered, how tough life is, how sad they feel, they're talking about their injuries or their sicknesses or whatever it is. And you leave feeling drained, maybe you or someone. That when you meet up wit...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today I want to share something that made such a big difference in my life that Tony Robbins taught me, trade your expectations for appreciation and see your entire world change. Think about this, I remember back as an athlete, I started triathlon, I was 23 years old. I didn't know how to swim. And my dream was to one day become one of the best in the world. And I made it six years later to the Olympic trials in Sydney, Australia, a...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today I want to share what I believe is the secret to success in life. And that is that no matter what you're doing in any moment of time, do it with 100% of your effort. 100% of your presence. 100% of your mindfulness. Yes that means even making your bed in the morning, making your dinner, uh, you know, playing with your dog, give it 100%. If you get used to giving everything you do in your life, a hundred percent effort. That will...

Thanks for tuning in to Siri's Bed Head Chronicles. Your gonna love this. Basically our inner gremlin is our inner judge, our inner critic. And we are far harsher with ourselves than we would ever be with another human being, even if we really disliked them. Now, the thing is that this inner gremlin came when we were kids and it would listen to what authority figures were saying is, is right or what's wrong, or what you have to do to please people, what you have, what you do, if you displease pe...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today I want to talk about intermittent recovery, something that is so incredibly important, not just for athletes, but for every human being. We all have four energies that we have to be super consistent about taking care of. That's our physical energy, our mental energy, our emotional energy and our spiritual energy. Now, oftentimes we think that mental energy we don't need to take breaks from, that's simply not true. In this day ...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today I want to talk about those things that seem to always happen. Maybe it's relationships, you always choose the same kind of guy or girl, and you always end up being hurt. Or you hire the same type of people all the time and it never seems to work out. The thing is guys. I truly believe that the universe or God will continue to give you the lesson until you actually learn it. We need to look at the things that seem like the thin...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today I want to talk about what to do when you are extremely motivated and want to make great things happen in your life. But you're surrounded by people that don't. They don't share that same passion, they don't share that same motivation. What do you do? Tell you the first thing you don't do, is lose your own motivation. Okay. I need you to rise higher and you can invite them to come join you where you are, but if they don't want ...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today I want to talk about the power of the language that we use. Imagine someone comes up to you and says, Oh, I'm absolutely devastated. And you think, Oh my God. Something's happened, their houses burned down or somebody died that they love. And they say, yeah, you know, this client came in and they were unhappy with the services that I provided. I'm devastated. Just using that word that carries such weight, such power, is making...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today I want to talk about our coping mechanisms for when we're struggling or when we're experiencing emotional pain. So many go-to things like alcohol or drugs to numb the pain. Now the problem with that is number one, it's unhealthy for your body. But it's numbing you also to the potential joy. When you numb yourself to pain, you're numbing yourself to everything. You're numbing yourself to the good things in life, to the happy mo...

Welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Last night, I was thinking about perfectionism, how so many of us in our lives think we have to be perfect to be successful, or to feel like we deserve love or to feel worthy. But the thing is that perfectionism is unattainable. It's impossible. Yet so many of us set these standards that in order to feel like I am worthy of love, I have to do all these things. And we end up getting disappointed. We end up feeling like we're not enough because we're trying to l...

Today, I want to share an epiphany I had as an athlete. An epiphany that was so liberating. And I shared this often with my own athletes. It was on a day I've been on a winning streak, and I've won four races and on the fifth race, in my mind I'm thinking everybody expects me to win. I expect me to win. But I was having a really bad day. I didn't feel good. I wasn't, nothing was flowing and the predominant thought in my mind is what's everyone going to think about how I'm performing today? And I...

I was out for my morning walk. It's a beautiful day and it is my six year wedding anniversary with my amazing wife, Rebekah. My greatest triumph in life was marrying my wife. And of course, now, triumphing over AML and having survived and now thriving. As a young teenager, I used to dream of finding love that would fill up my heart and fill up my soul, finding someone that would love me as much as I love them. Finding someone that I knew would have my back and be my greatest supporter and vice v...

Seeing that we're at the beginning of 2021, I want to talk about manifesting our greatest desires. Now in life, we all have goals, things that we dream of accomplishing. Now that could be like for me in my younger years, wanting to become so good at the sport of triathlon that I could win a world championship. And I manifested that with all my heart. And more recently, when I got diagnosed with AML, I wanted to manifest getting healthy, surviving and thriving on the other side. Whatever it is yo...

Today, I want to talk about linking our every thought, to our purpose in life. You may not know what your purpose is in life, but this is something that I encourage you to think about. What is it that you want to create in this lifetime? What do you want to feel? Who do you want to be surrounded by? What impact do you want to have on the world? This would be your purpose. It may be a huge goal that you want to accomplish, that you would do anything in the world to achieve. This is your purpose. ...

I just finished an amazing jog in these beautiful mountains here at Hall Ranch in Longmont, Colorado. My wife came with me for 45 minutes and then she went on and did another 45 minutes. But the whole time, of course I was feeling so deeply grateful and I was thinking about Christmas and the holidays and how it's such an amazing time where we all give one another so much love and kindness, and our presence. It's such a beautiful time of year. But what I'm thinking is don't save all your love and...

Today, I want to ask you, is there someone in your life that frustrates you, they frustrate you because you are not living in life, the way you feel they should be? They frustrate you because you feel like they're throwing their life away. Now in this situation, you have to understand that you're placing a judgment on that person. You're assuming that unless they live life the way that you think they should live life, that they're living life wrong. And that's a big mistake. And what usually hap...

I want you all to have an amazing week this week, and I'm going to give you one tip on something I do with every single thing in every moment. And that is using the power of intention. Before any meeting, I will take 30 seconds and think about how I want it to proceed. How I want to present. The impact I want to have, the message I want to share. I'm very intentional about every single thing that I do in my life. It starts with literally opening my eyes and feeling grateful. For the gift of bein...

Today, I want to talk about asking for what we need in life and asking for what we want in life. If you're not willing to ask for what you need and what you want, you're never going to get it, unless you just get lucky. So often it's like we sit and we think that the other person or people will know exactly what we need and give it to us. That is not the case. In life, you have to go after what you need and what you want. As a professional athlete years ago, I used to ask if I had a question abo...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I wanna talk about identity. Who we believe we are. Oftentimes our identity is tied to our job. For example, when I was a triathlete, you know, my dream and my goal was to become a world champion triathlete. Now that could have become my identity. But the fact of matter is that identity is so much more than just what we achieve or what we do in our lives. When I retired from triathlon in 2002, I was number one in the world an...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to talk about celebrating and embracing the journey. So much of a set goals for ourselves, and it's like, we don't allow ourselves to be happy until we reach the pinnacle until we achieve that goal. And it's so very important in order to maintain momentum, to celebrate each small step along the way. Even if it's baby steps recognize the progress that you're making recognize the work that you're putting in to make your ...

Welcome to the Bedhead Chronicles. Today, I want to talk about the difference between force and flow, forcing things to happen, or to create things or kind of doing it from a place of flow. When I think about my mission to become a world champion in triathlon, that was very much forced. Because I was desperate to prove to myself that even as a gay woman, I could achieve something spectacular that I could inspire people that I could make a difference. And I pushed to make a point. I pushed to pro...

welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to talk about being vulnerable. Being vulnerable is often looked upon as weakness. In my opinion, I believe that being vulnerable is one of the strongest, most powerful things you can do. And being vulnerable, you can often free people, liberate people. From their fears, from their anxieties, from problems that they're having, because they finally know that they're not alone and that someone else has shared in that experience or shared in those f...
