RJ Singh: From Bad Habits to Excellence
Men Talking Mindfulness
How to Balance Your Life With Ultra Habits
"When you get clear of mind, that path opens up," he says. "I've found that in my own life with what I'm doing now and with what Will and I are doing." He's looking to break the Guinness Book World Record for burpees. The podcast airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
“Virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions,” said Aristotle. The writer Will Durant interpreted this as: “We are what we repeatedly do… therefore excellence is not an act, but a habit.” Meaning … excellence is NOT what we do once. It’s a way of LIFE … and that’s what we’re talking about today - habits… breaking the bad ones and starting the good ones!
Welcome to "Men Talking Mindfulness," a show where we delve into the crossroads of mindfulness and masculinity, nurturing both health and prosperity for the modern man… and for those with men in their lives!
Today, we have the privilege of featuring a remarkable individual, RJ Singh, who is not only a successful businessman but also the founder of UltraHabits and an ultra-endurance athlete.
RJ has a personal journey of overcoming chronic dysfunction that encompassed violence, crime, youth detention, jails, and chronic addiction. With the invaluable support of mentors and various frameworks, he embarked on a transformative path. Drawing from his own experiences, RJ developed a unique framework that empowered him to rebuild and refocus his mind, body, and spirit, ultimately unlocking limitless possibilities.
He firmly believes that by committing to and dedicating oneself to the evolution of the mind, body, and spirit complex, individuals can experience growth and prosperity in all aspects of life. This achievement necessitates intention, discipline, and the cultivation of solid habits.
Get ready for a deep dive into Habits - How they are created, how do we break the bad ones that don’t serve us, and what it takes to stick with the ones that help us to develop that competitive advantage.
