The hardest part of growth is not finding the next big move; it is staying loyal to the basics when your ego wants a shortcut.

Backup plans can become excuses. Change creates pressure. Discomfort has a way of showing you whether you are serious about growth or just interested in the idea of it.

Dr. Andrew Fix reflects on a recent conference and brings the lesson home in a clear way: most progress comes from doing the basic things well and doing them long enough to matter. He also digs into a harder question. Who are you around, and are those people pushing you to raise your standard? This conversation is a reminder that real growth usually feels uncomfortable before it feels rewarding, and the people who move forward are the ones who keep getting back up.

Quotes

• “There is no magic formula. There’s no magic bullet. There’s no Harry Potter magic wand that is gonna help you get from point A to point B or accomplish whatever it is that you’re trying to accomplish, you need to master the fundamentals. You need to master the basics.” (03:20 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “If you are always the smartest person in the room, if you’re always the fittest person in the room, it is going to take a ton of effort and intention to continue to challenge yourself.” (05:02 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “It’s easier to just stay the same, but it’s so much worse, right?” (07:33 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “Change is very, very hard. It’s hard mentally, it can be hard physically, it can be very stressful.” (08:15 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “Getting back up is the only backup plan you need.” (10:58 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

The post 219. Getting Back Up is the Only Backup Plan You Need appeared first on Physio Room.

“Could what stresses you now in your life be opportunities for growth? How could you embrace the challenges that you’re going through to strengthen your personal and professional resilience?” asks Dr. Andrew Fix.

Stress often gets a bad reputation, but what if it’s actually the force that makes us stronger? In this episode, Dr. Fix unpacks how facing adversity can build resilience, using relatable examples like the struggles of sports and the deepening roots of a tree in a storm. He challenges us to rethink our perspective: Are the challenges we avoid the very ones that could help us grow? This episode will leave you with a refreshed outlook on stress and actionable ways to turn obstacles into opportunities.

Quotes

• “Ultimately, the wind is going to push and prod and challenge that tree. It’s going to cause splintering in the roots and it’s going to force and encourage those roots to dig deeper and deeper and deeper. And ultimately it’s going to strengthen that tree.” (03:40 | Dr. Andrew Fix) 
• “We’re going to face struggles. And as a result of that, we’re going to be able to build resilience through gradually accomplishing more and more and more or tackling more and more and more of these obstacles.” (04:20 | Dr. Andrew Fix) 
• “If we avoid stress in its entirety, and we try to live a stress-free life, if you ask me, we’re going to live a pretty unfulfilling life because we’re not going to have things that we need to build resilience from.” (06:07 | Dr. Andrew Fix) 
• “Instead of thinking about avoiding stress, we want to embrace it. It’s an opportunity at the end of the day to build a stronger foundation, to build a more resilient mindset.” (06:43 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
• “What stresses now in your life could be opportunities for growth? How could you embrace the challenges that you’re going through to strengthen your personal and professional resilience?” (07:18 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

The post 156. Stress: The Root of Resilience appeared first on Physio Room.

“You’ll never get to the outcome if you don’t at least start the process,” explains host Dr. Andrew. Often we wait for conditions to be perfect before starting our goals. Today, Dr. Andrew discusses the importance of working toward whatever you desire, understanding that “the right time” may never come.

Dr. Andrew understands that obstacles are inevitable. Although it may seem like everything has to be in order to achieve your goals, whether personal or physical, you may paralyze yourself by constantly waiting. Instead, Dr. Andrew encourages you to take steps now because you can always adjust things later. By reminding yourself that it’s ok to make mistakes, you can make tangible changes to gain your ideal life.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Code for a direct conversation on choosing progress over perfection. Learn more about Dr. Andrew’s slow start in starting The Code, building resilience, and how there is always the opportunity to grow.

Quotes

• “As long as you start taking steps to move you toward where you want to go, you can course-correct and improve your process along the way.” (3:12 – 3:20 | Andrew)

• “You’ll never get to the outcome if you don’t at least start the process.” (3:23 – 3:27 | Andrew)

• “The timing, environment, or the situation may never be perfect.” (6:17 – 6:23 | Andrew)

• “At the end of the day, it’s okay to make mistakes. People will forgive you.” (11:15 – 11:22 | Andrew)

• “Human beings, we’re not perfect. And no one should expect us to be.” (11:51 – 11:56 | Andrew)
