May your actions always align with your values and goals.

That’s how Ryan Munsey signs his book, F*ck Your Feelings: Master Your Mind, Accomplish Anything and Become a More Significant Human

His background is in Food Science and Human Nutrition, but he skipped the clinical route in favor of personal training. He opted to work with those eager to achieve optimal performance.

As he saw people fail with their workout plans, he wondered, "Why do their actions not align with their goals? That question made him learn more about the psychological side of behavior change and performance.

“ The magic bullet is the awareness. Right? It's catching yourself in the moment. Right? Awareness creates choice. And in that moment, we have a choice. Do I want to continue letting my feelings run the show? Or do I want to make an alternative decision? Do I want to choose aligned with goals and values? ”
