Setting Non-Negotiables with JD Tremblay

Alison welcomes J.D. Tremblay, director of Hungry Warrior Academy in Canada, discussing his DECA system for building clarity, resilience, and high performance through physical, mental, and spiritual health. He says emotions should be treated as data, with decisions based on facts, logic, and personal goals, purpose, health, and direction.

He explains the four parts of DECA: discipline, energy regulation, capacity, and action. Tremblay says discipline comes from structure and a non-negotiable routine, energy should be managed through food, hydration, and exercise, capacity should be developed by understanding and stretching one’s abilities, and action means choosing one priority and building a structure around it.

About the Podcast

The Ultimate Journey of Self-Care
What does Self Care look like to you?
It's not a spa day, a massage or a workout. It's not a day off from work, or a bubble bath.
It's so much more than the things we do, it's HOW we prioritize ourselves in general.
Join me every Tuesday and Thursday for two different editions of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care.
Tuesday's show is a deeper dive into what self care can look like for you with conversations about fitness, mindset, energy eating and fuel for your body, spirituality, travel and leisure and more.
On Thursdays we'll take a closer look at self care for your business, on the Business Edition, as an entrepreneur, with short bite sized episodes about growing and innovating in your business in a post pandemic world.
Join me and we'll take a walk on the journey of self care together. Subscribe and Follow us so you don't miss an episode.
