The Mind-Shift Wake-Up Call Summary Notes
3 General Groups of People Who Benefit from Understanding the “Mind-Shift Wake-Up Call”
A – Sedentary People
B – On and Off Exercise and Diet People
C – Fully Committed, Health-Valuing People and/or Fitness Pros
5 Steps to Make the Mind-Shift
1 – Awareness
a – Awareness of the need and responsibility to “take care of yourself”.
b – Awareness of the people around you who haven’t come to this realization yet.
This part ‘b’, secondary level of awareness is a precursor to what I refer to as ‘The Matrix’… which I will cover more extensively in the near future. Many people have their personal breakthroughs when they are show ‘the matrix’ … so stay tuned for that.
2 – Self Honesty and Wisdom
Be honest with yourself; What values do you have on your life?
You know you’re supposed to be eating a healthy foods. Are you doing that?
Are you sedentary? Or are you active?
Answer those and any other questions along those lines – WITH honesty. And then ponder your answers with some simple wisdom. You have it, trust me. Journal some simple notes and thoughts.
This ‘conversation’ with yourself will lead you to good places. It has for me 🙂
3 – Your Gift of Life, The Miracle You Are
There was a 1 in 400 TRILLION chance that you’d be born. 1 in 400 TRILLION…
Some of that – and a bit more is covered in this TEDx Talk by Mel Robbins:
And on top of those unimaginable odds – the creation called YOU, is the grandest miracle we will ever know.
If you could see and understand what the human body and mind consist of, and how all the systems work together as one… And how the body heals itself, and how we possess intuitive powers that we are only just beginning to understand… you would NEVER take yourself for granted, EVER.
Regardless of where you’re at in life right now, or how you might be feeling about yourself – you have SO MUCH to be thankful for, so much to celebrate, so much potential waiting to be discovered, unleashed and multiplied…
It is why you’re on this earth. It is why you exist. You are meant to ‘be’.
But it’s up to you to be your best daily. And it requires no more work than ignoring this choice. The paradox in all this is held in this simple fact:
Difficult (mindful/engaged/truthful) choices give you an easier, “in control” life… Easy (lazy/mindless) choices give you a difficult, out of control, chaotic life…”
Make the most of your gift of life. Take care of it and it will take care of ‘you’.
4 – WHY?
What are your reasons to live? What is the quality of life you desire? What things do you want to be capable of doing? What do you want to be capable of in 10 years, 20 years, even 50 years???
The habits you develop NOW, and implement as a lifestyle, have a DIRECT impact on the future YOU. You choose how you want your future to play out.
The way you want your life to be tomorrow, and 50 years from now, are the reasons WHY you do the right things for yourself today.

Donna says
I want to live happily and healthy. I have been ruining myself with drinking and smoking and while it has never had an effect on me physically that I could see….I am now feeling and seeing the effects of my stupidity. I wanna do it. For myself, my kids and my husband.
Thanks Joey
Joey Atlas says
Hi Donna, it’s quite brave of you to recognize this point you’ve reached – and state openly you’re ready to change. It’s never too late. It sounds like you’ve ‘officially’ begun…
Be sure to start with the free fitness video series on this site. Let me know if you haven’t found it yet.
Onward you go!
Joey
Samantha Edwards says
I have been putting my family first and myself on the back burner for years, i decided 2 weeks ago Nooo more and started back my fitness journey, I have all your DVDs but yet to use them,consistent because of family issues, I struggle with depression and hypertension and have course cellulite. I was tired of living unhealthy, so I started eating clean and back on my vegan journey, it’s hard at time, but am so thankful that I came a cross your podcast tonight, it really help that someone understand, how am feeling and willing to help. Real motivation for me right now.. Thank you joey…. and I really enjoy your type of training and how you really know the female body? Sorry for the long letter☺️
Joey Atlas says
Hi Samantha – no need to apologize for the long letter… You should actually start journaling daily, short, simple writing entries. I’ll be talking more about this in the next few weeks.. But trust me – it’s POWERFUL way to take control of your mind, your thoughts and your actions… simple, but powerful. (not many people do this – and it’s one of the reasons people are “all over the place”.)
On another note – be sure to map out your plan. STARTING tomorrow. What’s on your schedule for tomorrow? You MUST schedule it. Even if it’s only 15 minutes. This habit will get you to the next level.
If you REALLY want to put your family first – you MUST focus on yourself first. Think about that.
YOU are one of the reasons I do what I do. Looking forward to your success story, Samantha.
Joey 🙂
