2.00 -  The Background & Intro

When Jimi bounced off of rock bottom he got to the point where he said “I have to do something different that makes my tomorrow different from my today because my today sucks.”

4.00 - Picking up the tools and applying them

Applications change the outcomes. Once you start seeing the gains you get “addicted to the gains”. 

Talent for translating the information and putting it in a way he could understand and that others could understand. 

6.00 -

Doesn’t have to be a big event that sets you into that state. 

“...the shove over the edge, you either fall to your death or you learn to fly. And that's what I decided as I was. I need to learn how to fly real, real quick… where can I, where can I build some wings from? Where can I get a parachute from?”

07.30 - The difference between resilience and mental fitness

Mental fitness is the ability to be able to see chaos coming and have the perspectives, understanding and tools to avoid it as it comes, or at least glance it off. 

Is the ability to learn tools, techniques, perspectives, observations, and understandings that allow us to see situations unfolding as they unfold and be able to make really clear, confident, rational decisions in those that lead to the best outcomes for us.

10 - What do you do to keep mentally fit?

“Instead of telling me what to do, he told me why I should do it.” A simple start. 

Future success is determined by past success. You're much more likely to succeed in the future if you have succeeded in the past.

13 - Two key underpinnings for Mental Fitness

Ability to observe your thoughts and the ability to regulate your nervous system.

15.30 - The breath 

The key is to move yourself from a sympathetic state to a parasympathetic state. Parasympathetic is your rest, rejuvenation, and relaxation state. You can do this through your breath. Allows you to be in a state that helps you be in a state to choose better and create better outcomes for yourself.

17. 40 - Mental fitness for kids

The parents are the biggest influence on a child’s life. You cannot teach what you do not know. “What is genetic in feeling is that you teach it to your children.” Parents control or dictate the environment or atmosphere people walk into.

22.30 - Mental health continuum

When you say mental health people think of mental illness.

If you put in small, consistent efforts all the time then you will become mentally fitter. Continuum is being able to put ourselves on to figure out where we’re at and how we can move up.

32.00  - Jimi’s why & putting yourself first

“My why is to improve my mental fitness. I care about everybody secondary to myself and the more I connect to myself, the more I improve my mental fitness, the more I learn and the more ability I have to share that with others.”

“And the happier the people are, the more mentally fit people are, the better employees they are, the more creative, the more productive, the less sick time, the less turnover, all of those metrics.”
