| #73 The Power of Reflecting on the Previous 12 Months and the Science Behind 'Looking in the Rear View Mirror' - Andrew May & Angela Poon | 13 Dec 2023 | 00:50:58 | |
Setting goals is a lot like driving a car. Most of the time is future-focused, looking ahead out the front windscreen. Goal setting research shows it is also important to periodically check the rear view mirror and remind ourselves of progress made and achievements along the way. As we inch agonisingly closer towards the end of another big year, Andrew and Angela Poon from StriveStronger discuss the 8 areas Andrew asks his coaching clients to review, reflecting on achievements, lessons and learnings from the previous year. Andrew and Angela discuss personal examples, with a few surprises along the way. Andrew also provides an outline for self-reflective awareness (SRA), which is a ‘meta-cognitive’ ability that involves thinking about and reflecting on your own mental processes. “People with a strong SRA are able to generate a self-narrative that is complex, clear, and multifaceted. They are capable of communicating in a way that allows others to have a much better understanding of who they are and where they are coming from”. In this episode Andrew and Ange discuss: 2:30 Why we are doing the rearview mirror activity, Ange’s changes between this year and last year and Ange learning to be herself in presentations. 17:00 The areas of reflection, StriveStronger’s past year and Ange’s work reflections 24:40 Andrew’s work reflection, Ange started listening to the podcast and Andrew’s growth working in mental skills. 33:20 Ange’s community reflection, bringing back the 80’s community feeling and the importance of connection. 39:40 Goal setting for next year, Andrew’s family and relationships reflection and having quality conversations

Dr Paul advocates for everyone to work 10,000 steps and 50 sit to stands into their day at a minimum to keep healthy and active.

Two weeks away from climbing Mount Killimanjaro at age 65 years, my Cardiologist told me I was close to having a fatal heart attack, with one of my coronary arteries 90% blocked. I had been aware of many well-trained athletes for no apparent reason suffering a heart attack against, but I thought it would never happen to me. This diagnosis tipped my approach to exercise programming upside down.” Listen to Paul explain chronic cardio syndrome and the loss in elasticity of endothelial lines, why Orcas in captivity suffer a floppy dorsal fin, how MET (metabolic equivalent of tasks) is transforming fitness programming and Andrew (nervously) asks Paul to assess the guidelines he and Dr Tom Buckley have just released for Level 1 Physiology Building Blocks and Level 2 Longevity and Performance.

Ever." Matty now focuses on the causes of overeating and the emotions we attach to food. And we’re not referring to Bridget Jones crying over her answering machine with an ice-cream tub in hand…we’re talking about real patterns stemming from a range of factors that can include our parents and their patterns, trauma, our relationship with money, how advertisers market to us, what we see online, and more.
