Welcome to the Always Ready Mindset. A platform of ever growing resources for your developing a healthy and adaptive mind, body and spirit. This is a growing community of like minded individuals that seek to embody the elements that comprise a true guardian of Earth, Humanity and the cosmos.
More to come on all these points and the brief introduction that follows.
This is simply a quick blog post as an introduction to the Always Ready Mindset platform.
On this platform, over the coming weeks we will be launching the Always Ready Mindset Podcast and School of Readiness shop where you will discover a wide range of products, services and useful resources.
When it comes to the Always Ready Mindset philosophy and approach to living…
The truth is, that we need to put ourself beyond our comfort zones, share what we know, collaborate on all we are collectively learning, doing and becoming, and strive to serve others in ever increasing ways.
My name is Michael Murdock and I created the Always Ready Mindset as a platform designed to share my thoughts and ideas with all of you to make this much more than an online store and coaching program.
As you will discover in the coming weeks, the Always Ready Mindset will grow and grow with every new product, every blog post, every podcast episode and with every new member and customer, creating a community of like minded and deeply resourceful individuals that are all striving to improve their body, mind and life as a whole.
You will also find the tools and resources that I personally believe are a great optional asset which can be beneficial for you to become the best version of yourself.
Many of the things I share are connected to the ancestral wisdom I have discovered throughout my drive and desire to study and research my wide field of growing interests… and when possible, the ancestral wisdom will be paired paired in comparison with modern science for further credibility whenever possible. Some people desire to have all the facts, and whenever possible I will do my best to provide all of the relevant resources I can find.
For the most part, the things I write and share on this platform are from my perspective along with the perspectives of my guests.
Acknowledging the truth that we are all imperfect and are figuring life out together.
I know there will be useful gems that will help you on your unique path of life and also theories and insights that will empower you to search further on your own.
I am in no way trying to convey that I have everything figured out or that I am living a perfect life myself… I am a flawed and life weathered man that has had many trials over the years… and because of my trials in life I am in turn uniquely and equally suited to share insights on specific topics and experiences that I have had and have overcome.
I am striving to achieve great things in life. As we all should strive to be better and greater than we were the day before.
So wether you are male or female, young or old, the things that I convey here on this platform relate to everyone during different phases of life’s journey.
I aim to serve, to motivate, to inspire and to teach in a way that aids in your own personal transformation, whatever that may be.
Whatever it is that you need, I will continually strive to share my perspectives with you all, with the hope that something I share will assist you on your path.
I want to help you on your path to becoming a healthier, stronger, more knowledgeable and highly skilled you!
To become a greater and more exemplary individual with each passing day.
Beyond assisting you to become healthier and stronger mentally and physically, emotionally and relationally, it is my goal to help you survive the challenges of life that come from time to time and most importantly, be prepared for the seriously challenging events which will eventually come to test you and your abilities in the future.
Each test in life, wether viewed as a negative experience or misfortune, is simply just an obstacle that enables you to overcome, achieve stronger footing and consistently keep moving forward in your life.
Overcoming obstacles one after another in order to teach others to overcome anything that confronts them on their path so that they may begin to learn to do the same. We all lead by example and follow examples worthy of our efforts to follow.
The more we strive to learn and grow together the more we will Always Be Ready to thrive.
So here’s a quick empowering message for you to get you started on your journey, wherever you may be on the path…
We are always ready, wether you truly believe that or not…
I am ready… and so are you!
The illusion lays seeded in the idea that you are not ready.
The paradox of life is that no one is ever truly ready for anything, therefore the paradox is that we are always ready. If you lack the knowledge or skills you desire to accomplish a task, develop and source them immediately!
If you really want to do something, you will find the motivation and self-actualized ability in order to do what you truly desire to do.
If you don’t want to accomplish something deeply enough, you simply won’t ever actually do it.
We all say a lot of things in life, things we dream of doing or ways of being or becoming…
But it is in the doing that we realize who we really are and what we desire to become.
Take this website and media platform for example… I truly want to create this and begin sharing my ideas and thoughts with others! And so I am doing it! I may not be the greatest website designer, writer, blogger or entrepreneur, but I have the desire to do these things and I know that my doing these things I will continually get better and better through my simple effort to just do it!
So wether or not you are a master at what you want to do or what you dream of doing, just simply go and do it! Get started and do not let your fear of failing or your fear of succeeding hold you back from just putting yourself out of your comfort zone and getting started right away!
Think less, do more.
Speak less, do more.
Be more by doing more.
Prove yourself to yourself and overcome any self deprecating narratives of your past or present.
Transmute your desires into the actualized ability to just do and be what you truly desire to do and be.
A phrase that works well to keep in mind when battling the procrastination of your past or present is this:
“That was then, this is now.”
If you used to procrastinate, remind yourself that that was then, this is now. You may have “used to procrastinate” but choose to consistently put forth productive action in the here and now.
Put forth the immensity of your true divine power to do and be all that you desire right here and right now.
This is your life and the things that you have the ability to do can profoundly impact the lives of others in positive ways.
We all need each other to do our best, not just for ourselves, but more so for the people we love and the communities we support through our leadership and presence.
Lead where you stand by leading yourself with a high degree of individual responsibility.
Wake up to your potential and respond with ability!
I believe you and I have always had and will always have an internal source and capacity to:
•Be the Leader within your sphere of influence.
•Be the Friend that the friendless need.
•Be the Student of life, learning through living.
•Be the Teacher of truth, a student always evolving.
•Be the Provider, greater than you have ever known.
•Be the Nurturer that the malnourished seek.
•Be the Lover that your partner deserves and desires.
•Be the Receiver of all the Love you deserve and desire.
•Be the Intellectual you have aspired to become.
•Be the Innovator, proactively creating solutions to problems that baffle others.
•Be the Healer, for yourself and others, using food as your medicine and your health as the example.
•Be the Consciously fit ideal, treating your body as a temple, a castle of health, light and vitality.
•Be the Peaceful Warrior, honoring freedom as our birth-rite and upholding what others have forgotten.
•Be the Hero of your story, always leading with gratitude, love, light and truth.
The child you once were is still within you and offers you a limitless creative capacity to grow, to love, to explore, to discover, to energize, to strengthen, to heal to regenerate and to ultimately become your best self!
As you do, you motivate and inspire everyone around you to follow your lead.
In life, many things are obviously easier said than done…….
So begin by experimenting with a few of these following disciplines to tune in to your inner child, your source of limitless power, abundance, health and innovative creativity:
•Journaling
•Meditation
•Deep Breathing
•Yoga
•Tai Chi
•Qigong
•Zen Nature Walks (Preferably Barefoot)
•Hiking and camping
•Earthing, Grounding (Stand barefoot on wet grass or dig your feet in the soil)
•Swimming
•Floating in salt water, the ocean, Dead Sea or a float tank.
•Star Gazing
•Eye Gazing
•Interacting with children, learning from them, teaching them what you think you know and remembering what it is like to be a child of innocence, joy and infinite love.
•••••••Pursue any activity that stimulates or brings you back to the nostalgic memories you have from your childhood. Eating nostalgic foods or meals you love is a quick way to tap into this inner child.
So there you are my friends, my first blog post as a quick introduction to the Always Ready Mindset and to share some of my beliefs, aspirational desires and core values with you.
Remember, it is our responsibility to rise up and inspire others to do the same.
We are here to serve.
Together we rise.
If you like this, share it and motivate others!
Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts and insights. I’m excited to learn and grow with you all and begin to build an amazing community of great individuals.
Always with love, light and gratitude,
