#44 - THINK FIT: MY SUPPORT CIRCLE WILL HELP ME SUCCEED.

Happy Thursday. It is May 28th. I hope you are well. I'm Jorge Cruise and this is the show for high performance living when you don't have time. Today you're going to get the edge with me with today's Think Fit. It says my support circle will help me succeed. It's a fact. 91% of us have a dangerous amount of belly fat and it isn't just unsightly. When you have too much belly fat, you sabotage your ability to live a high performance lifestyle because you're more likely to suffer from aches and pains, low energy, memory loss, and poor sleep, which prevents you from performing your best at work, spending true quality time with your loved ones, and doing your favorite hobbies. The good news is that you can break this cycle, reduce belly fat, and achieve high-performance living in just 8 minutes. Hi, my name is Jorge Cruise, and I'm known as the leader in 8-minute high-performance living to the world's busiest celebrities. I've been a fitness, nutrition, and life strategist for over 25 years, and you may have seen my work with Oprah Winfrey, Khloe Kardashian, President Clinton, Tyra Banks, Dr. Oz, Tony Robbins, or even Steve Harvey. My passion to find the best science-backed shortcuts has allowed me to write over 30 books and become a multiple New York Times bestselling author with over 9 million books in print. And I know I can help you too. Welcome to the Jorge Cruise Show. Well, welcome to the show. This is Jorge Cruise, and hard to believe it is Thursday, the last Thursday of the month, and really a time where right now, uh, I think so many of us are thinking, how did this time go by so fast? We've been in lockdown and COVID has, uh, come. It's still out there, but hopefully it's going. And, uh, you know, we always hope for the best. And I sure am sending you my best thoughts and prayers for your family and for yourself and for a new beginning for all of us. And so with that said, and being that this is the last Thursday of, uh, the, of the month of May, and Monday's, uh, June 1st, June is here, getting ready for summer. I hope you're ready for a really great Think Fit because on today's show I want us to connect the dots to how most people that I've worked with that achieve high levels of performance, whether it's working better, improving their game, improving their hobbies, improving quality time with loved ones, whatever it is that you need for peak performance, requires energy, requires, you know, your body to be ache-free and pain-free. Requires energy, you know. And in order to have that, for me, step one is obviously movement in the morning. Step two though is priming that and keeping it going though throughout the day. And that's what this is all about. ThinkFit for me is my second pillar to peak performance, you know, beyond exercise. Without this, you can't keep that momentum going because your psychology, your thinking, your mindset will sabotage you every time. As much as you may feel great for the first hour or two of the day if you do an 8-minute workout Workout with me, um, it only lasts so long. By lunchtime, you could be a grouch again. You could really see the glass half empty. And so what this does, what Thinkific does, and what the show is designed to do is to give you that advantage right now. And it's something that you can do with me every single day. So I'm just so honored that you are doing this and you're listening right now. And for today, we're going to talk about really understanding that we need to embrace a support system. Now, the caveat is that you got to have a good support system in place. And if right now you're saying, Jorge, I don't have one, uh, well, you have me, so count me in. I'm one. Get 4 more people. And if these 4 people hopefully are family members or loved ones, you got to check in with them, make sure they're part of that and they're in on this. And if you know they can't be optimistic or positive, then maybe they're not the right people to ask. But it could also be people online. It could be people on social media, Instagram, Facebook, could be other podcasts, uh, could be audiobooks. I know for me, years and years ago, before I even started to work with Tony Robbins, um, and he's this peak performance author, he's been in our, in our world, pop culture, for many years, over 30 years. I never knew him back in the day, but I had his books, I had his CDs back then, and I would listen to them. And they would give me that, that positive direction. Very much, I hope, the way this show does for you. And so definitely count me in and get 4 more people. Hopefully you've got a nice circle of people that you can count on for this support system, because I'll tell you, the biggest saboteur out there when it comes to peak performance and peak performance living is thinking you can do it on your own. But then that's the default. A lot of us will say, well, I don't have this system, so I'm going to do it on my own. And sometimes it's our ego that doesn't allow us to connect to others, but we need others in order to elevate and propel ourselves forward. So with that said, let's get started. I'm going to share with you the Think Fit. I'm going to say it 3 times, and then I'm going to have you say it 3 times with me. All right, so if you're ready, take a deep breath in. You may want to go into a room that has a mirror. You guys know how much, how much I like mirrors. Mirrors help us amplify an affirmation. And the affirmation is the following today: my support circle will help me succeed. My support circle will help me succeed. My support circle will help me succeed. All right, take a deep breath in. Let's do it together now. If you're in front of a mirror, good job. If you can get in front of a mirror, do it now. And let's say this together with me right now. My support circle will help me succeed. Again, my support circle will help me succeed. One more time, my support circle will help me succeed. Think about it. Think about the people that you may have not thought in a while but have always been your fans, and you haven't reached out during COVID You haven't had a chance to send them an email or a text or a phone call, old school. Today's the day to get them back on track, get them back into your circle. I would suggest you get a sheet of paper out and write down 5 names. I hope you can include me in one of those as one of those resources, but come up with a total of 5 people that you know are part of the circle. And that just know that if you want to propel your life forward and have an extraordinary life, you need that support system in place. That the most historical people in our world have had this kind of system and have relied on a village, shall we say, a family. A tribe of people to help them. And it's still valid in 2020 right now. So that's my challenge to you. And that's my homework. Get 5 people on a sheet of paper, reach out to them, send them a text, email them, and let them know that you would love to have them back in your life. And how are you? And just start the conversation that way. Alright guys, have a beautiful Thursday, and I'll see you tomorrow. Peace and purpose.
