We’re not sure what this one will be called yet actually
Probably something like the Hound and the Baskervilles or…
Or the dog wanted my nuts
I know, I know
Well it’s time for another Mindset Monday
So it’s a little bit windy today so if the camera is picking up the wind we do apologise
We get pelters for the sound anyway
We do, we do, however we have new cameras on order with new microphones so the videos will be getting better soon
Yup
So, how’re you guys doing?
How you doing?
The sun’s out today in Scotland which is great we don’t often get sun like this so when we do we like to take advantage of it
Yup
Have a bit of a chill out
Get the vests on. We’ve had quite an exciting week actually because the LEaN formula goes live well it’s been live
Yes our body transformation coaching programme is live people are signed up there are still some spaces but I think by the time this goes out we’ve already started, right?
Yeah and then our online shop as well
Hey, yeah!
Get our apparel this is actually the old stuff our new stuff the new vests the new tank tops actually look really good we’ve ordered a couple of hoodies, t-shirts
I know we want to see how long it takes right and then we’ll be on to them
Yeah we specifically set up a UK shop and a US shop because our audience is kind of split it’s mainly the US actually
Yeah
America and South America, Canada
Happy days
Still got the comments coming in haven’t we?
Yeah, keeping it going it’s good
You know when we first started and we made that video about all our comments we’ve been getting i’d love to do another one but we’ve been getting so many good comments now that it’s trying to find them all and do them justice
I know
We’ve got a bit of a friend coming along
Hello
Hiya
He’s looking for trouble
don’t eat my nuts
He is
Dogs are so funny, eh?
Right guys and you really like my chicken but you’re not getting my nuts they’re mine
The innuendos are endless there right?
That sounds weird saying that when I’m wearing a kilt
I’ve just been tailed twice
Oh and she’s got it
So we’ve got a couple of shout-outs first of all to, Ted,
Ted, Hi, Ted
Ted, we promised you a shout-out and this is yours, HI TED
What was his second name? I can’t remember
I know his avatar was kind of orange-y I’m sure
Last time we gave a couple of guys a shout-out which we probably shouldn’t have done
Yeah because then everybody else gets pissed off at us, right?
I know, I know, we felt really bad because we’ve actually got some really nice followers and we can’t really give a shout-out to everybody but, Ted, especially left us a nice message and to be honest I got a wee tear coming to my eye when I was reading it I thought poor, Ted
Poor, Ted
He never got a shout out so hi, Ted
Hi, Ted
and also we’ve been shared a few times on a few blogs so eh towel road
Yeah we’ve been shared twice there haven’t we?
Twice on towel road
So, thank you
So the guys at towel road thank you so much we really appreciate all the support that we do get you guys have been great for us so anything we can do for you which is wee shout-out to our followers I think most of them would probably enjoy the blog so check out towel road
In fact can we put that in the show notes?
I reckon we could make that happen
We will put a link to towel road on our notes
and a shout out to Ted we’ll put Ted in the notes as well
Can we link to Ted?
Shout out Ted
So this week’s Mindset episode after we’ve been ravaged by a dog is basically about well feasts and famine
Feasts and famine
or festivals and famine
Well festivals and famine so this come about because well for instance we’re it’s a beautiful day here in Scotland
Which is rare
So rab and i were like yeah let’s just go and chill out in the grass have a good time and eat some nuts drink some water em is it too windy?
Do you it’s picking up the wind? It’s got a little muffler on it
So we’re kind of like really relaxed and we’re like this is nice
Yeah
And the point we want to try and make is at the moment we’re already thinking how can we make this better?
Yeah and then we pretty much agreed if we sat here right now with a whisky in the sun, in our vests, chatting to your guys that would make it better, right?
It would make it a hell of a lot better imagine being sat there with a wee 25 year old Glenlivet, that’d be nice, right?
Yeah that would be nice
It’d be lovely
but then you think ok once we’ve got that Glenlivet what else would make it better?
Steak in a bowl you know how, Rab, loves his steak in a bowl
Steak in a bowl
I’d like some chicken wings
So we’re sitting here with our 25 year old Glenlivet, Rab’s, got his steak in a bowl
Stephen’s got his chicken wings
and that would make it better again
and that would make it better again
So all of a sudden you add to it again you go you know what I could go with somebody giving my shoulders a rub giving them a wee massage you go you know what it’s even more relaxing and then you might want something a bit more refreshing you go you know what I want a beer as well I want a nice cold here
Oh here comes, Hope, again
Hi, Hope
You might want a dog here to pet now and again as well
So you before you realise when you’re adding to this and adding to this before you realise it when all the extra stuff’s taken away all of a sudden just a nice day with a good friend chilled out is no longer good enough
You’re like where’s my whisky? Where’s my steak in a bowl?
Yeah you start missing the things that you’ve become accustomed to all these little things that are trying to make your life better and better and better and sometimes the nicest things in life are the most basic
But because you’ve added all these things on you no longer appreciate the very simple sunny day that we have to begin with
Yeah still chilled out
So, we’ve got a solution for ya
The solution so we like a little bit of stoicism so there was a stoic philosopher called Cennica I believe his name was. So, Cennica, had this principle and he called it festivals and famine and what that refers to
Our audio sucks at hotmail.com
So yeah Cennica had this philosophy called of festivals and famine so now we live in the modern world where we have things like youtube, Facebook Instagram, whatever, we drive cars we have internet we sit at desks you know everything is just nice, nice, nice, this is your festivals you’ve got all these added on things, added on things, and it messes with your perception and appreciation of what is normal in life
So what we want you to do every now and again is create a famine
Have a period of famine now that doesn’t necessarily mean food but it does refer to food as well so we have periods where you can go the supermarket and pick up anything you want absolutely anything
Oh we’ve got a new friend who wants me to throw the ball
So yeah they call me the dog whisperer
So where was i? create a famine
oh we’ve got two dogs now
I just got tailed again is that assault?
This video’s going great
Create a period of famine in your life let’s look at food first of all we can go into a supermarket and get anything you want absolutely anything you want so in order to keep your mind fresh create a period of famine
So really what we’re looking at there is really just a couple of days worth of restricting calories or just having the same food we used to do this didn’t we?
Yeah
Remember that?
The thing is when you’re following a restrictive diet food tastes better i mean it does, doesn’t it? You hit the weekend and everything tastes better where as normally if you’re eating that kind of stuff all the time you get used to it, don’t you?
Remember when we went camping you know you’re out in the wilderness and you get we hiked quite far so you get quite hungry and we made some just porridge with blackberries it tasted damn good
Damn good because we were hungry we’d created a famine
But you start to appreciate all the taste of food
And then also have a famine from your technology shut off all your devices try to stay off your Facebook for a whole day or two
Yup, this is why we love camping though, isn’t it? You get the famine from the food famine from technology and famine from clothes. Camping and hiking is very very good for the soul.
When you come back you appreciate things al the more
You appreciate the small things like a nice day and chatting to you guys
I still fancy some steak in a bowl though
I’m going to get my nuts back out
Let’s just leave that there, right?
