#526 – Regression and Depression Traps

Crushing Iron Triathlon Podcast

This is actually a positive vibe, but we know Halloween can kick off the “excuse period” for a lot of athletes. Candy around the house, Thanksgiving feasts and Christmas parties, and a “we’ll start later” attitude. Life is hard enough without what we’ve been doing through the last year and this holidays only make it harder. Today we talk about energy, vibration, guilt, shame and how to beat the vicious circles to keep moving the right direction. You don’t have to nail every single workout… you just need to move and connect.

Topics:

• Halloween
• Sugar
• Sedentary lifestyle
• The excuses started yesterday
• Excess and football and the couch
• Mental and Physical Health during the Holidays
• Flex Plans
• Regression and Depression Traps
• Isolation
• Low-Level Angst
• Rejuvenating in November and December
• Hibernation should be functional
• A different kind of energy
• Fueling your Soul
• December Rules
• Guilt Battles over one missed session
• The coaching partnership
• Vicious circles of suck
• Being selective with your time
• Stretching yourself too thin
• No strength or energy left
