25.01.2022 When was the last time you learnt a new skill? For the last 6 weeks I’ve dedicated 10-15 minutes a day learning how to juggle. Yesterday I hit my first 60 second 3 ball juggle (not this vid).... To begin with all I committed to was 10-15 mins of practice everyday. Adding something new and learning a new skill is hard to begin with especially when you have so many other things on your plate as a new dad. Just remember it doesn’t have to be complicated set some time aside and just aim to be consistent, progress will happen from there. It doesn’t matter if it is learning a new skill, finding a workout routine or eating better. Having a plan of building consistent action should be the aim and often simplicity is the key. Sure change or doing something new is hard but life is meant to stretch us. If you need help reach out #beunstoppable

24.01.2022 The one thing we advocate with physical training is consistency. Training doesn’t have to be complex or even have you stepping in a gym every single day. But prioritising time to move every day is imperative to your overall mental and physical health. Plus as a Dad you are setting the tone for the next generation. Have a plan, make the time and be consistent.... Aim to move everyday. If you need help reach out! #beunstoppable #moveeveryday See more

22.01.2022 Training while short on time. It’s sometimes hard to know what to do when you are short on time. To the point where it can be overwhelming and then just gets put in the too hard basket. Know what to do and how to prioritise your training is important. Our programs are what we refer to as flex programs. This means that they are made up of 2-3 mandatory days and 2-3 optional days, this gives you flexibility to push on the weeks you have more time and be able get good quality ti...me efficient work done on the weeks you don’t. With all the things you need to juggle as a dad working out how to stay physically capable shouldn’t be one of them. Being capable as a Dad isn’t optional it’s something we need to do for ourselves and our families. In this video I’m doing a Turkish get up which is one of my favourite movements to use when short on time, a great full body movement that challenges body control. #beunstoppable

21.01.2022 Is prevention better than a cure? Why most people won’t do what they need to to prevent something but will do everything they need to when the cure is needed.

20.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day Dads. To those that are with their children and those that arnt, as well as those that are no longer with us. Thanks for always setting the example and thanks for always showing what unconditional love is! ... Enjoy the day!

19.01.2022 It’s a long road. Sometimes it’s hard to stay on track especially long term. You can expect to jump off course every now and then, but what if your just following the road without a destination in mind. ... Then when you need to jump back on course how do you know your on the right road? Knowing what the goal is and where the road is taking you is important while it might seem simple, it’s often one of the first things overlooked. Make sure when you are setting out on any change that you plan the path, it’ll allow you to effectively course correct and save a lot of heartache. Also when your thinking about the end goal, don’t limit yourself based of past beliefs, take some time and really think about what’s possible. Limiting yourself doesn’t serve anyone. Especially you. #beunstoppable

17.01.2022 What’s the alternative. Where are your decisions taking you?

16.01.2022 "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them."... Lest we Forget

16.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day to all the Unstoppable Mums our there, thanks for always being there.

12.01.2022 Two of the most important things you need to be doing to reclaim your time and become less stressed.

10.01.2022 Sometimes it seems hard to keep your eyes on the prize. Chaos can create uncertainty around your goals and your actions. It can also create an opportunity for you to focus on what’s important. The thing with chaos is it holds up a mirror that shows you your own short comings, it highlights the things that you need to work on, those habits and commitments that were a bit wishy washy tend to fall off when things get chaotic. Things get put in the too hard basket and I’ll... just wait for this to pass It shows you those things you thought you were committed to, you really weren’t. During a chaotic time you find out exactly what you are truely committed to and what your real priorities are. You have the opportunity in chaotic times to reinvent yourself, to lean into the chaos a little bit and embrace the discomfort. To push through those barriers. The thing is you always have the opportunity to lean into discomfort, most people won’t because they don’t like it. It’s easier to stay the same stories they surround themselves with than it is to change. I can’t because ......... That’s not me because........ I don’t feel like.......... I don’t have......... Just some comforting thoughts to be ok with what you see in the mirror to avoid that discomfort. By avoiding it though your only putting off the inevitable, you can only look away from that mirror for so long before it catches up with you. Sometimes the longer you put something off for the harder the road out becomes. Change is hard but regret is harder. It’s better to lean into discomfort and chaos when you have the choice rather than when you don’t! Becoming a Dad is a chaotic time, and even though it may not seem like it. It’s a time you have a choice, to stand up and lead or put it all off and get to it later? Even though it doesn’t seem like it, the choice is always yours!

09.01.2022 The importance of routine and discipline with it.

07.01.2022 Sleep!!!! As parents getting a solid nigh sleep can be near on impossible! Sleep is one of the most important factors for overall physical and mental health. I’ve been using a device to track my sleep over the last few weeks, I’ve been surprised with the results and the info it’s giving me on sleep quality. Do you use anything to track your sleep? What steps to you take each night to maximise the time you can sleep?

06.01.2022 Move Everyday. A saying, a concept and something that people struggle to do. Due to lack of time or lack of priorities or whatever else you’ve been told of told yourself in the past.... Move Everyday is one of the pillars of The Unstoppable Dad Project, getting Dads to claim back time to make sure they move everyday. The thought of this for some people would mentally crush them, But Matt you don’t understand I don’t have any time. I do understand, I understand what it feels like to not have time. I understand what the paralysing weight of deadlines, money trouble and family time can make it very much feel like you don’t have time or energy to spend sometime moving everyday. I also understand how when you feel good about yourself the insurmountable things start to seem insignificant, the time you didn’t have starts to appear and things start to turn. Moving Everyday doesn’t mean you have to do a 90 minute HIIT session every single day, in fact doing that can be detrimental. It means moving your body every single day, some days that will be a hard gym session. Others it will just be a walk, if your struggling with time and energy. Go for a 30 minute walk everyday, do it with your family. Try that for two weeks and see the difference. #moveeveryday #beunstoppable

05.01.2022 The importance of planning.

04.01.2022 Win the morning win the day. A cliche that gets thrown around a bit, morning routines have been a very in vogue the last few years. The mornings can be chaos as a Dad and routine depends on a lot of factors. ... Should you have a morning routine? I think so.... But it doesn’t have to be complex, 1 hour workout followed by 30 minutes of mediation is too much for most Dads especially after a sleepless night. Try this. Get up, drink some water, move (30 star jumps or something simple) and get yourself a journal to write down 3 things you are grateful for. It will take you 15 minutes and you have a routine that will get your body and mind primed for the day. Will you do it every day? Probably not, but aim to be consistent. Cold showers and doing workouts are great too, but start off small then build from there. Try it for 30 days and let me know how you go! #beunstoppable

03.01.2022 What’s the standard? Over the last 8 weeks I’ve been forced to take a step back and look at what I want for myself and my family. In doing that I’ve also seen the standard I’ve been tolerating for myself. ... One where I’ve found myself shying away from hard things that I need to do, procrastinating and making excuses as to why they can be done later. This habit that is built up was something I wasn’t proud of, see I’d always thought I was hard on myself but I’ve since realised I was being hard on myself as a way of making myself feel better about avoiding the hard stuff. You work hard enough, you don’t need to deal with that now. By avoiding those things though I was short changing myself, I was tolerating a lower standard in other aspects of my life by not doing those hard things. You see you get what you tolerate, times like these are not times to tolerate a lower standard for yourself because things are uncomfortable. Aim for a higher standard. Then, hold the standard.

02.01.2022 In the current state of the world it’s hard to look to the future and plan your path. Uncertainty causes inaction and as a result a lot of people just simply fall into sub par habits and resort to waiting it out it’s ok to take some time to pause and reflect, but what are you reflecting on? The things you can’t control? ... Or the things you can? Regardless of what is happening in the world, focusing on the things you can control like your habits and your actions can help create certainty around an uncertain situation. Take time to create the habits that you need to look after your mind and body. Create space everyday to connect with those important to you and reflect on what needs to be done, move your body and look after yourself. By looking after yourself you’ll become a more capable partner, father and leader for you family. Deliberate daily action will always help move you forward. #beunstoppable
