Most people think awareness just happens.
But like any muscle, it gets stronger the more you train it.

Session 2 of Train Your Mind is now live — a step deeper into building focus, clarity, and emotional control when life turns up the noise.

These aren’t spiritual buzzwords — they’re practical skills for veterans, first responders, parents, and professionals who live under constant pressure.

We all carry emotional baggage — old pain, guilt, shame, resentment — packed neatly in bags we drag into every new chapter.

The problem is, most of what’s in there doesn’t belong on the trip you’re on now.

In this clip from the Cognitive Fitness Coach Podcast, Scott Winter and Chris Norris explore what it means to unpack your emotional bags, lighten your load, and start arranging your life for where you’re going — not where you’ve been.

We were designed for sprint and reset, not stew and repeat.

Yet in today’s workplace, stress rarely ends when the task does.

We carry it into the next email, the next meeting, the next deadline.

The good news? Resilience isn’t about eliminating stress; it’s about learning to reset.

Move your body. Calm your mind. Take agency.

Small resets, practiced daily, build sustainable performance.

Want your team to learn how to reset under pressure? Let’s talk.

Happy Veteran's Day to ALL the Veterans!!!

When you thank a veteran for their service often times this is what you are thanking them for.

Hugging their little one, and swinging on the playground once last time before they board an airplane, and they are not entirely sure whether they will be back as those little ones, and loved ones knew them to be.

This was my last deployment in the US Navy, and it was for eight months, that's my five year old in my arms... by this time in her life I had been gone for about three years for periods of months at a time...

Don't get me wrong, please. I loved being of service, and I would not change a thing.... other than a beard, I wanted to have a beard more often than I did...

You’ve trained your body.
You’ve trained for pressure.
But have you ever trained for stillness?

Session 1 of Train Your Mind is live.
This is where we begin the work — learning to calm the chaos, focus the mind, and find clarity in the noise.

These aren’t abstract concepts.
They’re field-tested tools built for veterans, first responders, parents, and professionals who live in the red zone.
