As we near the end of January, we often also near the end or our resolve to finally get our shit together this year. We made our resolutions because we know that the feeling of being perpetually disorganized and out of control brings us down. It leaves us feeling lost, unsatisfied, and useless. So, why isn’t that enough to keep us motivated to make changes?
According to this week’s guest Darcy Luoma–who is an executive coach and organizational development consultant–it may be because you’re focusing on the wrong things for the wrong reasons. Are you trying to get your life together because you want it to align more with your values, or with someone else’s values? Do you even know for certain what your values are?
Listen this week for some tips on building the life you want based on Darcy’s Thoughtfully Fit program. And, get even more great tips by texting tfcalendar to 33444

Happy New Year! And welcome to the annual tradition of making resolutions without much resolve. This year, though, could really be your year. Instead of relying on willpower to achieve your goals, rely on a framework for positive change, like our guest Darcy Luoma’s Thoughtfully Fit®.
Through her years of experience, Darcy has learned that if you want strong relationships, effective teams, more internal peace, and greater success you need to work from the inside out. She calls this being Thoughtfully Fit and just like physical fitness, you need to work at it. Being Thoughtfully Fit can help you lead yourself, as well as your relationships with others, by improving your ability to communicate, and effectively handle conflict by acting mindfully and intentionally. It’s a great model for developing the kind of conscious masculinity we always talk about on the show, and for becoming the man you want to be in 2018 and beyond.
Also, if you’ve ever wondered about the difference between a therapist and life coach, Darcy and Dan offer an explanation and some tips on how to decide whether you need therapy or coaching. (Or both!)
For more information about the Thoughtfully Fit framework, check out Darcy Luoma’s blog.
Practical and Tactical Tips
The Thoughtfully Fit Framework
- PAUSE. When you feel that you are on verge of reacting to something, create some space between feeling and action. (e.g. Don’t just ram through and hit send on that response to your co-worker’s nasty email.)
- THINK. Ask yourself some thoughtful questions about what you want the outcome to be.
- ACT based on the desired outcome.
