Hey everyone! Welcome back to My Future Podcast! Today, we’re tackling a question that hits us all at some point: Are you actually more successful than you think? This episode is inspired by an article from CNBC’s Scott Mautz, who poses some eye-opening questions to help us rethink success. We’ll break down each question and explore what research says about values, mindset, and gratitude. And don’t worry—it’s not just a list of "shoulds." We’re diving into the science, stats, and real-life applications in school, sports, and life goals.

Some big questions we’ll cover are:

• Do you live your values? A study from the University of Rochester found that people who align with their core values experience more satisfaction and resilience.
• Are you actively working on your life, not just in it? Stanford research shows that setting specific, meaningful goals makes you 42% more likely to achieve them.
• Do you appreciate what you already have? According to Harvard Health, practicing gratitude can boost your happiness and reduce stress.

By the end, you might just realize you’re already crushing it more than you knew. So, let’s jump in, rethink success, and explore how you can apply these insights to your own journey.

In this episode of My Future Podcast, I dive into the power of active recovery and how it can totally transform your fitness game. While most of us think “rest” means couch time, active recovery offers a better way to bounce back quicker and get the most out of each workout.

We break down:

• What exactly is active recovery, and why is it better than just lying around?
• How do athletes use gentle movement to relieve soreness, boost blood flow, and avoid burnout?
• How can you add active recovery to your own routine without overdoing it?
• 
  

Curious if a walk or light stretch day could be the key to stronger, more energized workouts? Tune in to find out how active recovery might be the missing piece in your fitness plan!
