Champ Up Chat Chris Romulo

Welcome to Episode 50 of Champ Up Chat!
Being a champion isn't for the chosen few. Being a champion is for the few that choose.
In this episode, Sarah and I talked about how self-talk has created your reality and guides your subconscious. Then we turn self-talk into actions, whether it is anabolic or catabolic.
We all hold ourselves back because of our fear, anxiety and undesirable thoughts of; "what might go wrong?", you want you to rephrase your thoughts into; "what might be the best thing that could happen?"
Establish your self-talk by setting up boundaries and creating a daily routine of flippin' the script.
One way to start is by writing down your affirmations. This technique will help you improve the way you think about yourself and you will notice how it changes your energy to Champ Up!
On December 20th, 2021, John Esposito was working on a highway construction crew. While standing in front of a trailer, a car careened into the work area. It slammed into John and pinned him against the trailer, instantly and irrevocably changing his life. Lucky to survive it, John underwent multiple surgeries and had both legs amputated above the knees.
 
Not one to be deterred, John returned to the gym six months later and has continued to be a source of inspiration to everyone he meets.
 
At first, he used his wheelchair to throw hands with us all. Not content with rest or self-pity, his fighting spirit remains unbroken.
 
John has recently been fitted for prosthetics with the goal of one day walking again. That day is September 24th, 2022. Nine months since the accident.
 
John is training for our fundraising event on September 24th where he will join us at Echo Lake Park in Mountainside, NJ; 9:00 am. Our group will be hiking 3.5 miles, training together and then grilling up with great food & great people.
 
100% of proceeds will go directly to John, and if you do wish to make a tax deductible donation, a receipt from our 501c3 organization will be provided to you.
 
Contributions will go towards his recovery costs in the coming months & years. If you or a business you know would like to become an individual or corporate sponsor, please contact me directly.
 
John is the guy who people love talking to. His natural warm, and welcoming presence extends to every newcomer in the gym. His laid-back, pleasant nature was only put on hold during his ferocious ring performances. His goal is to pay it forward and contribute to the next generation, which has been our organization’s goal since day one.
 
Fighting is the loneliest sport in the world, but we’re letting our brother know that he isn’t alone on his journey. We’re all in his corner.

"A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. A goal is what specifically you intend to make happen. Dreams and goals should be just out of your present reach but not out of sight. Dreams and goals are coming attractions in your life."
-Joseph Campbell
Last episode we talked about vision boarding, where you could put pictures of your dreams and goals on your wall, phone or desktop and how this exercise could change the game on manifesting your destiny, vision or quality of life.
In today’s episode Sarah and I continue to discuss more about vision and how it not just about looking at those pics on a daily basis. We talk about it takes actually getting up out of your seat and setting your goals in motion with action.
Once we have set up our vision, solidifies our purpose, and established the WHY that’s when the "action" board starts to kick in.
The action board is based on seeing your destination and taking the steps to get there. You don't always have to know "how" you will get there before you start, but start with one small step and you will create the "how" along the way.

We're back!
Today's episode was a bit choppy in the beginning for about 40 sec but all smooth sailing after that as we chat about vision boarding. 
It is a technique we used to build the life that we wanted for almost a decade. But after a few days of dealing with some health issues it gave me some time to open my eyes to "vision work". This vital technique can improve all your QoL arenas; family, health, career, etc.
Hold the vision. Trust the process.

Today on the Champ Up Chat, Sarah and I, discuss one of the most vital components to deep health, fitness and overall quality of life.
Sleep.
Yes, it's important for proper rest and recovery from a long stressful day, but we sometimes take it for granted or we struggle with it in general. There are so many more reasons why experiencing first-rate sleep can improve every human function, from kicking and punching on a daily basis, making quick decisions in a high pressure career or shuttling 3 kids around town.

In today's episode, Sarah and I talk about a concept we all are familiar with, but tend to forget about, especially when it comes to creating "positive" change in our world.
We tend to think of karma in terms of when "bad" things happen. But karma doesn't exist just in a form of punishment. It works for building dreams, ambitions and quality of life.
"You reap what you sow"
Karma is a function of cause and effect. 
Whatever energy/vibe you put out into the universe, comes back. 
It's not a philosophy, it's a law of nature. 
Karma plays a huge role in your health and well-being. You get what you put out there.

Fate is what life brings to you. Destiny is what you bring to life.-Will Craig
Common belief is that fate and destiny are one in the same because most people aren't into semantics. You don't have to be obsessed with word definitions to know that there is a difference. 
Today, Sarah and I chat about the difference that can make a huge perspective shift for you in your life as you go about your own day to day, aka journey. 
Looking back on the many times that life has knocked me down, I share how fate and destiny were at play in the crucial inciting incident that has led me down the path of Muay Thai and the Champions Uprising quest.
Fate are the cards you are dealt, and destiny, how you play them.
