It wasn’t until recently, I recognized I’ve asked my body to do some pretty epic shit - shit that couldn’t have been accomplished without muscle, strength, cardio, sweat, and grit. the number on the scale doesn’t showcase the value of my body, the medals around my neck or how awesome of a human i am. It’s just a bloody number.

If you’ve been on our tallish website, had a glance at our merch, or even follow us on social media - you’ll see that gratitude is a common theme. A standard question you’ll frequently hear at thanksgiving or a meal during the holidays is, “What are you grateful for?”

This little blurb is dedicated to the folks who feel like they “get stuck in a rut” (myself included). Maybe you’re at a job that no longer excites you, you’ve (feel like) you’ve peaked physically, your emotionally tapped out, and hell it’s not even April yet.

No matter how amazing your spouse is, your impressive salary or compensation, your loving family, properties, cars etc. if you don’t have a grasp on your thoughts - then no amount of success can really pull you out of despair or unhappiness.

I truly believe that it all starts and ends with your thoughts. You could have the most miraculous life but if your brain doesn’t seem interested in optimism or positivity, quite frankly; it all goes to shit.

If you’ve struggled with a goal or a habit change, take a moment and FIND YOUR WHY! Are you working out to look a certain way or are you doing it because YOU want to FEEL better? Are you going after that second degree because you feel like you should or because it could unlock a higher-paying salary? This is a crucial differentiation factor because when shit gets hard, you’ll need a strong foundation to remind you of WHY you started.

A foreign concept was introduced to me a few weeks ago.

I’ve always felt that it was a bother to ask from others - favors, help with projects, guidance, assistance picking up groceries - ANYTHING. You simply had to figure it out on your own.

I recently just finished a book (some of you may know this title already so apologies for coming late to the party) called The Success Principles and holy shit was this such an amazing read.

If you’re ever stuck in a rut, struggling with a sense of purpose, don’t know where to start on a side project, need resources for passive income, and want to understand the mindset of the wealthy (not financially but emotionally and spiritually) then my goodness - give this book a go. I’ve just purchased 3 copies for 2 of my close friends and 1 for a family member for Christmas as I truly do think this book is such an AMAZING tool to have in your tool belt.

This past Sunday, Tallish had its official LAUNCH event and I gotta say, the amount of love and support received absolutely shocked me. Hosting an event, not knowing who would show up or IF ANYONE would attend is an EXTREMELY vulnerable position.

I’ve recently rediscovered the epicness that is taking a 5-minute break to catch my breath. And holy shit does that do wonders.

Lisa Nichols - a woman dedicated to motivating the masses. A name I’ve heard repeatedly intertwined with the Law of Attraction, mindfulness, The Secret, and discussions about optimizing your self-worth by truly believing that you are the most worthy.

I could ramble for QUITE AWHILE about the positive effects this woman has had in my life but I’ll leave you with the 4 E’s.*

When folks have confidence in themselves, it’s because they recognize that regardless of what the outcome entails, their value, worth, and sense of self remain INTACT. They continue to be the epic humans that they are.

Understanding the importance of being thankful, grateful, and appreciative of all the epic shit around us.

It’s hard to ACHIEVE, CONQUER, SLAY, DOMINATE behind a safety net - SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO JUST GO FOR IT.

The power of a positive mindset can dictate your day.

Welcome to the world of positive empowerment.
