I'm happy to announce I'm in the works to write a blog for CMHA! Due to my personal struggles and experiences with mental health as a result of 15 concussions, ADHD, and 16 years of depression, I have a huge passion for advocating mental health. To be able to join forces with CMHA to add value and support has been a goal of mine this past year. I can't wait to add value to their community and those who join the community in the future. @cmhaceh #coachdmboddy #trainharderthanyoudream #THTYD #thtydmovement #mentalhealthawareness #CMHAyyc (at Calgary, Alberta)

"Dave, someone in my life is conducting behavior I don't agree with, how can I change their mindset?" Great question. The truth is you can never change someones mind for them, you can only influence them and guide them. Controlling someone should never be the goal, as no one should be controlled. And you need to ask yourself if what they're doing honestly affects your life, as if it doesn't you need to invest that energy into what does. Also, just because you may not agree with someone's lifestyle doesn't warrant you the right to change it. I understand that the behavior they're conducting is not illegal or harmful to their health, thus, this is only them going against what you believe. And that is 100% their right. This is a moment where you should consider that you don't have the right to dictate others and how they live. If their lifestyle goes against your beliefs, live and let live. I promise you there's aspects of your life many don't agree with, and if they approached you and demanded you to change you would ignore their request. The same goes for you towards them. The mindset that needs to be altered here is yours, 100%. The less time you focus on trying to control others can be used to propel your future. When you spend your time trying to dictate others you lose opportunity to create opportunity for your life. Not to mention the negativity you are allowing in your life while you hate what they do. Focus only on what YOU can control, and this is your Focus, choices, time, mindset, and life. And remember you don't have the right to try and control others. If their behavior isn't a risk for their life or yours, let them be. Guide. Support. Understand. That's our roles to the lifestyle choices of others, and regardless if it's a belief you like or not, live and let live. Some of these choices are truly not choices. Once again. Guide. Support. Understand. #coachdmboddy #trainharderthanyoudream #THTYD (at Calgary, Alberta)

"Good morning Dave! What's some advice for me being too sensitive to everything?" Great morning! Love the question. One of the most common issues when it comes to sensitivity is attaching negative meaning to numerous events, people, words, and expecting society to enable your sensitivity. When you attach negative meaning to everything, everything then brings more negativity. You need to also spend sometime on yourself, in the sense you figure out the source of your sensitivity. This can be challenging at times as the source can be hidden deep within your subconscious mind. Here's a task for you to conduct to help make their easier for you • think on paper: write down events in your past that have bothered you, situations you've been in that have hurt you. Once you have the list of events and experiences complete, look through the list and carefully pay attention to which event you have the most emotional attachment towards. This can be the event or experience that has begun the compounding of your emotions. •Once you find the source of the emotions you need to confront it and work on replacing it with a new memory. Memories can be replaced by new ones that have more emotional intensity behind it. •Discontinue adding so much meaning to unimportant people, gestures, words, and events. Clear your plate and allow yourself less pressure. I hope this helps you! #coachdmboddy #trainharderthanyoudream #THTYD (at Calgary, Alberta)

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAPByrKU5-R1emswVlyH_-g For about a week now I actually have stopped listening to music while I am completing tasks for my brands. I find these videos to be VERY effective to not only have me focused on my tasks, however, to keep me motivated during the day. I watch these videos in the morning while I eat, and then again while I complete tasks. It's not that I dislike music, it's that these videos offer so much value, consistently, so much so that I've become addicted to listening to them. The content you view and head consistently help influence your thoughts, focus, body language, and internal vocabulary. I find this content just as effective as reading 30-60mins a day. Thank you @motiversity #coachdmboddy (at Calgary, Alberta)

#THTYD 🏆A Champion Mindset🏆 "Self Worth Principle" When you settle for less than you deserve, you choose to diminish your worth. Set the tone for your worth, it begins with self-worth. This is also a two-way street though, you can't go around disrespecting people and expect respect in return. Be the example of the respect you wish to have. #coachdmboddy (at Calgary, Alberta)

🏆You need to respect the right that others have an opinion. But, you don't need to respect the opinion. Opinions need to be proven and corrected when they're wrong.🏆 A huge problem we have is people feel as soon as they say "that's my opinion" it makes them right. The truth about opinion is they can be inaccurate, wrong, misinformed, created emotionally without reason, swayed, and created through misunderstanding. Just because you feel strongly about an opinion doesn't mean you're right. It just means you're basing your opinion from a belief, personal experience, or even through misinformed or misunderstood statements. An opinion shouldn't be accepted if it's wrong. For example, many have the opinion racism is needed and justified. Are we going to respect that opinion? Nope. We will stand against it and not tolerate it. That's what needs to be done. We need to stop enabling the acceptance of opinions that are wrong. It truly doesn't benefit anyone. However, beliefs are strong opinions based on references that allows the opinion to feel more believable. For example, let's say someone has the opinion that they're worthy if a gold medal, and this opinion is backed with someone saying this individuals good enough for an award. They'll use that compliment as a reference to back up their opinion and make it into a belief. A conviction is a strong belief that is supported by action. For example, protesting. Those who are convinced will apply intense effort and action to fight for their beliefs. Those who are convinced are the ones who will fight for change. The problem we have is so many people are convinced from the wrong opinions and have he wrong references to rely on to make them a belief. This is why when an opinion is wrong we need to correct it. Otherwise we have individuals convinced they're right. 🏆Opinions, highly enabled and often without factual references.🏆 I support those who are convinced to stop poverty, abuse, bullying, crime, assault, harassment, anything that disallows anyone their right to safety. I won't support any opinion, belief, or conviction that strives to deprive anyone of their rights to safety and happiness. #coachdmboddy (at Calgary, Alberta)

🏆If someone drops out of high school, are they a failure?🏆 As per the belief if general society, yes. However, as a matter of fact, no. The truth is the school system is known for its flaws, look at how stressed and pressured youths are now with the thought of going to school. As I have mentioned before every decision we make is based on pain or pleasure. If your youth is showing signs of displeasure with school, it's likely due to them experiencing pain while at school, therefore, their natural response is to avoid the pain. There can be numerous reasons to why someone wants to dropout. Depression, bullying, not understanding the curriculum, pressure, the truth is no one dropouts "just cause". Everything happens for a reason, and people act a way for a reason. For a youth to convert from the idea of dropping out, to making the decision to drop out, something had to have happened. That's a huge decision to make. As for the supposed "guarantee" that if you drop out you will fail, there is no proof that is true for everyone. There is numerous successful stories of youths becoming very successful and fulfilled after dropping out. Dave Thomas, founder of "Wendys" was a high school dropout. After his rise to success he went back and garnered his GED. However, before that he became very successful. When Dave Thomas dropped out he was likely labeled as a failure, and soon he enough he proved them all wrong. You see, it's the focus, choices, and thoughts that determine out success or failure. Dave was focused, he was determined, and he made daily commitments towards his goal. It paid off. Is this a guarantee for all dropouts? No. Just as it isn't a guarantee that all that graduate will be more successful than those who don't. It's our focus, choices, thoughts, and effort that determines our success and fulfillment. School isn't for every one, college isn't for everyone, however, success and fulfillment is for anyone who is willing to put in the work and maintain strong focus on the end result they want. Others don't determine your worth, that's 100% on you. #coachdmboddy #trainharderthanyoudream (at Calgary, Alberta)
