The People, Process, & Progress Podcast - Implementing the Power of "I will" and "I will not" statements | | Foundations Friday 71
Episode Date: October 28, 2022For 'Words Matter (The Power of "I will" and "I will not" statements)' I recorded in my garage gym this morning. On today's episode I'm sharing a mindset that I’ve worked to adopt recently from list...ening to ‘s ‘Unfu*k Yourself’- I will…(insert forward looking /positive actions)- I will not…(insert what actions and behaviors you will not accept)It really is up to each of us to determine what kind of life we have while we’re in this world. We can either move towards things, not accept things or stay stagnant. Stagnant things get rotten and devolve over time. So, let’s not stay stagnant. Let’s move forward and freshen mines bodies and spirits.- Have a plan So you and your team know what to do- Stay informed With facts not fear- Get involved To make life better for you and those around youKevin Kevin Pannell, PMP | Creator & Host of ‘KEV Talks’ and ‘You-Jitsu’ podcasts - Garage Gym Athlete at channel

What will you do to change the things that you don't like?
What will you not put up with anymore from yourself and others to also change the things you don't like?
This is a sentiment I got from listening to Un-F Yourself by Gary John Bishop.
And, you know, I will not, or I think it was chapter two, I am willing, right?
I'm willing to do this or not. I'm not willing to do this or that. And so it prompted me to remind myself or start thinking about things, and maybe it will for you
too, about I will set my clock and get up and exercise. I will apply for that job that I've
seen that I've been interested in. I will eat a little better for my heart health and body health.
I will go get help if I need to talk to somebody.
I will reach out to that friend that I haven't talked to for a while. You get the point.
Conversely, you can do a similar thing and help reshape your mind. That neuroplasticity I've
talked about on the KevTalksPod test, KevTalksPod.com, and help reshape your mind, how your
mind physically is, how it thinks, how you think,
by also then saying, I will not, right? I will not sleep in and not exercise. I will not keep
eating McDonald's every day and making my cholesterol go up. I will not ignore the signs
of anxiety or depression or post-traumatic stress that I keep having these visions, etc.
I will not pass up that job opportunity that is stuck in my cetera. I will not pass up that job opportunity
that is stuck in my mind. I will not be on my phone all the time instead of spending time with
my kids. I think you all get it, but it's simple. As Jocko Willink and Leif Babbitt and the whole
Echelon Front crew say, it's simple but not easy sometimes, right? We get sucked into our own worlds
if we're parents or have kids or just busy. So think about on this Kev's Tips Friday,
what will you do to make your life better and the life of those around you, right? Focusing on
others helps you as well. And what will you not put up with? What will you not put up with from
yourself? What will you not put up with from others? It's okay to set boundaries. You don't
have to do everything. But I thank you
for listening to the KevTalks podcast. You can go to KevTalksPod.com, listen to this, the other
things. That's a great article with Dr. Tracy Marks a bit ago. Going to have some great articles
and interviews coming up about public safety, getting back to my old school roots from when
I was a teenager, and then some of my best best friends going to talk to one of my best friends in the near future. So thank you so much. Check out kevtalkspod.com.
Follow me on at P-A-N-N-E-L-L-K-G. Remember, have a plan so you know what to do. Stay informed
with facts, not fear, and get involved and help make a difference. Godspeed, everybody.
