The secret to your life is hidden in your daily routine.

In this episode, Dr. Andrew Fix unpacks how habits create the foundation for who you become and where you end up. Success rarely comes from one big breakthrough; it’s the result of small, consistent actions that compound over time. Every decision—what you eat, how you move, how you spend your time—quietly shapes your future self long before you realize it.

He reframes goal setting as the starting line, not the finish. Setting intentions gives direction, but it’s your habits that move you forward. The real question is whether your daily routine reflects the goals you claim to care about. If your actions don’t match your ambitions, something needs to shift.

Your priorities are revealed in two places: your calendar and your bank account. Where you invest your time and money tells the truth about what matters most. This episode challenges you to look closer, make adjustments, and build a routine that actually leads you toward the future you want.

• “What is the future self that you are looking or hoping to become? And how can you set up your daily tasks and your daily habits to help you get there in the most efficient way possible?” (06:53 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

The post 197. The Secret to Your Future Self appeared first on Physio Room.

Most people stay where it’s safe. But there’s a different kind of progress that comes from choosing something that makes you uncomfortable on purpose.

Dr. Andrew Fix shares why stepping outside your comfort zone is a key part of growth and development. He tells the story of getting back on a mountain bike (which is something he hadn’t done in years) and how facing that discomfort helped him build confidence in a new way. Along the way, he invites you to reflect on your own life. What are the things you’ve been avoiding because they feel unfamiliar or a little intimidating? Where have you been playing it safe, and what might shift if you tried something different?

This episode is a reminder of how growth often starts with one small, uncomfortable step. Dr. Fix also talks about the value of having a clear goal and how working backward from that destination can give you a real plan instead of just wishful thinking. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to stretch yourself, this might be the nudge you’ve been needing.

Quotes

• “Think to yourself, what are the things in your life that you do all the time that you would say are well within your comfort zone?” (05:32 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “What is that activity that you have been wanting to do that you haven’t done because you’re uncomfortable?” (06:44 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “I want to encourage you to just take the first step… You don’t have to do that thing tomorrow, but if you start to put the pieces in place and put the goal on the calendar, right? Like, put the goal, write it down and start to work backwards.” (07:09 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “You don’t set the small goal first and hope that you’re eventually going to make it to where you want to go. You have to put the big one, the big goal, the main thing out there, and you have to work backwards from there. Because otherwise, if you don’t know where you’re going, how are you ever going to get there?” (07:42 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “Find the thing that puts you out of your comfort zone. Don’t stop doing the things that you enjoy, but also do the things that push you to grow.” (09:30 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

The post 184. Stretching the Edges: The Power of Discomfort appeared first on Physio Room.

Key Takeaways

• Be obsessed with the process of getting better. What are you doing today to improve yourself?

• Instead of comparing your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20, look at what it is about them that you admire. What actionable steps did they take to get to where they are and what steps can you take to get a similar outcome?

• You are your only true competition. Compete with yourself every day to better yourself, consistently show up, and don’t settle.

How do you challenge yourself to improve a little bit every day? In today’s episode Dr. Andrew talks with Jake Thompson, keynote speaker and fractional performance coach about reaching your full potential by competing with yourself every day to get better. After college, Jake found himself with an MBA in Sports Business and no job prospects. Instead of just settling for an average life, he started to work freelance and realized that growth was all about looking for opportunities and consistently putting the work in. He created an apparel business and began selling shirts to get out the message of competing every day. Then, in 2014 he was invited to speak at an HR event at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston and found that he had a gift for public speaking and teaching.

Oftentimes people are impatient and think that they will reach a certain goal immediately. When they don’t get there fast enough, they give up. Others never even try, because they spend too much time comparing themselves to people who had completely different circumstances than them. Change your mindset by realizing that you are only competing with yourself. When you are working alongside other high achievers, draw your motivation from not wanting to be them, but wanting to improve yourself to be more like the aspects of them that you admire. Figure out what success means to you and learn to love the process of showing up consistently and putting in the work over time.

If you do not seek to better yourself every day, you will end up settling for whatever life gives you and may have a lot of regrets in the long run. Compete every day with yourself to improve and get closer to the successful life you desire.

Quotes

• “Life is about consistently just showing up.” (10:39-10:43 | Jake)

• “When you’re forced to go against somebody, or compete alongside somebody that has a high standard of excellence, it forces you to continually raise your game if you want to win.” (12:53-13:03 | Jake)

• “Attitude, actions, effort, and focus are 100% in your control every day.” (17:15-17:20 | Jake)

• “The people that are more consistent are the ones that have learned to fall in love with the work and the process, because the process is the only thing you control.” (23:31-23:38 | Jake)

• “A single choice by itself may or may not do much. Thousands and thousands of choices that build on top of each other, that’s how you create an epic life.” (29:33-29:42 | Jake)

“These are things that can propel me, give me the energy and the vision to take care of my family. To be there for them, to make a profound difference in their lives. I’m not doing it for me. I’m doing it for them,” shares Matt Moriarity, owner of the Matthew Moriarty Agency at Farmers Insurance and Financial Services. Today, Matt shares his tips for living a life of excellence.

Matt believes strongly in leading by example, especially when it comes to his children. He wakes up daily at 4 am, not because he has to, but because this lifestyle allows him more time with his kids. Matt explains that the way to become a high performer is to figure out what drives you, commit to a plan of action that will help you achieve your goals, and then stick to that plan regardless of how you feel.

Wellness is a decision that you have to make for yourself and stick to. And if you focus on your why and build up the mental fortitude to stick with your plan, you too can live a life of excellence.

Quotes

• “The most important thing is to lead by example, more than showing them the way. Success leaves clues in any area.” (30:24-30:32 | Matt)

• “These are things that can propel me, give me the energy, give me the vision to take care of my family, right? To be there for them, to make a profound difference in their lives. I’m not doing it for me. I’m doing it for them.” (33:17-33:31 | Matt)

• “The biggest reason people fail is because over and over they make promises that they don’t keep to themselves.” (34:16-34:20 | Matt)

The post 53. How to Live a Life of Excellence | Matt Moriarity appeared first on Physio Room.

“Having real numbers and real deadlines for your goals is more effective for helping you stay on track,” explains host Andrew. Oftentimes we set unrealistic goals for ourselves and then struggle when obstacles come our way. To combat self-sabotage, Andrew breaks down easy ways to stay on track and ensure that we set ourselves up for success.

Whether your goal is weight loss, weight gain, or anything else, setting up realistic goals for yourself is crucial. It may be nice to dream big, but if you don’t start small with achievable deadlines along the way, you may be setting yourself up for failure. But if you take your ultimate goal and work backward, you can find measurable ways of tracking your progress that will get you on the right track.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Code for a helpful conversation about setting goals. Learn more about the acronym behind S.M.A.R.T. goals, why you need a “why” behind your objective, and how to create reasonable deadlines.

Quotes

• “Having real numbers and real deadlines for your goals is more effective for helping you stay on track.” (4:30 – 4:38)

• “Don’t forget about any obstacles and hurdles that come along the way. And I’m not telling you to sandbag your goals, not do challenging things, and not dream big. But doing small bite-sized chunks is much more effective than trying to take over the world overnight.” (6:24 – 6:42)

• “In the next 90 days, what are you going to accomplish that’s going to set you on the trajectory to reach that ultimate goal?” (9:59 – 10:08)

• “If we’re shooting for some goal, and we’re one or two degrees off over a long period of time, that’s going to drastically impact how likely we are to achieve that goal.” (12:29 – 12:40)

• “We’re about results. We’re about progress. We’re about taking little steps of improvement every day, every week, and every month to push you in the direction of your goals.” (13:29 – 13:39)
