This Is Your Journey. Your life.
Relying on others to always support your goals, and dreams is unrealistic. Live out your life. Rely on your instincts and focus on what you want, whether it's a healthier lifestyle or a new career, don't expect others to change their ways just because you have.
In this episode, I talk about my experience on MTV True Life and how chasing perfection is ultimately a constant upstream battle that may strip you of your happiness.
Karen Monetti also shared how chasing perfection nearly killed her.
Perfection is either exactly what is, or everything it is not. Who decides what perfect is? and why do we chase it?
Today's message is all about taking ownership of who you are. Build upon your strengths, recognize what isn't a strength, and using it to make you stronger.
Be yourself.
When you let go of what others think of you, you can start thinking for yourself.

When you quit trying. That’s when you fail. Until then, you are just practicing and experiencing opportunities to get better. We put so much pressure on ourselves, to accomplish our goals, and when we don’t accomplish them when we feel we should we get discouraged, frustrated and often consider ourselves a failure. That can’t be further from the truth, the only time we truly fail is when we quit trying.
want to avoid failure?
It’s simple. Don’t give up, keep going.

Joe Morrison won our Mansformation Transformation Challenge last year when he lost 28lbs in 12 weeks. One of the driving forces for him was to get in shape for his next attempt to become a Pro Drag Racer.
In this episode, we talk about his journey from losing weight, to gaining some of it back and how we are going to prepare for his pro debut in 2020.
This episode is a great example of how life is a project with forever changing opportunities and situations and how we adapt to them is what determines our success and ultimately our happiness.

If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. It’s been said many times but successful people are the ones who don’t give up. Patricia is a member of the bodhi community and has committed herself to the process of becoming the best version of herself. And when you commit fully, there is only one result - success. Successful people figure shit out. It wasn’t easy, and it has taken months to finally figure out what was preventing Patricia to lose weight. Finally, after trying many different types of diets, Patricia is now feeling better than she has in over 18 years!

It's been 10 years since Karen and I opened up our business - bodhi by anthony monetti in Somerville NJ. It hasn't been easy but, I'd be lying if I said I didn't love every minute of the process of growing a business, building a brand and creating a legacy.
My parents didn't jive with this in the beginning and when I lived with them and they paid my room and board I didn't have much to say. They wanted nothing by success for me, they just didn't think "starting a business" was a smart idea.
On this podcast, I call them up to ask them how they feel now, 10 years after we opened up our first business.
Great fun on this one and the message is simple. Not everyone is going to agree with what YOU want and dream about. And they don't have to. This is your life, and the only one that has to believe in you is you.
Thank you for listening! And please leave a review on itunes and share this podcast with someone who will find value in this message, Thank you!

Jen, fifty-three years old, a mother of 3, transforming her body while building muscle, burning fat and getting stronger with the magic of visualization.
Before we can even begin to take action ion our goals, we must paint a mental picture of what our success will look like. It starts with seeing it mentally, then believing it’s possible, and then we can take action and actually do the necessary tasks needed for success.
Creating a mental image of what we want, is like planting a seed of exactly how we want our life to look. Once the seed (thought/mental image) is planted in our brain, then just like a flower or tree we nurture those thoughts by thinking of them often and connecting more with the actions needed. The mental image we visualize is like roots that form from seed. The more vivid the picture, the stronger the roots become eventually manifesting into success.
It’s not always easy to do, especially when results don’t show up quickly. But on this podcast, Jen shares her story and how she ran her first 10-mile race, became Teacher Of The Year, and transformed her body to step on stage with confidence as a figure competitor.
Powerful podcast here, give a listen and save it so you can watch during those challenging times when results are quick but you are still putting in the work.
Also, if you know of anyone who may be currently struggling with a “plateau” share this and let’s inspire them!
Chris Miller walked into the gym 80 lbs overweight with type II diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. After accepting the “Teacher of the year award” he saw a photo of himself and wants happy. As a man who loves to lead by example, Chris began his transformation journey despite being scared and intimidated.
Mr. Miller’s transformation will be remembered as one of the most inspiring stories we’ve seen. And at 62 yrs old he says he’s just getting started!

Today, we sit with Kevin. Kevin started his transformation journey last November right before Thanksgiving which its great because he shares his thoughts on how to lose weight through the holidays. This is even cooler because we are currently in the middle of a 6-week holiday challenge, which you’ve been hearing me speak of this a ton lately.
Kevin has lost over 70lbs this past year and has continued to keep it off! Although he went in for surgery the very next day after this podcast, he’s confident with the game plan we’ve created together that he will not only recover fast, he will not gain excessive weight and will comer back even stronger!
Give this a listen, and share with a friend who may be going through a challenging time Maybe this will help, that what Project My Life is all about - people inspiring people!
Thank you for the support in inspiring people to transform their bodies and create their best quality of life!
Once you know what needs to be done, the rest is a game of patience. Patience is a matter of delaying gratification in the short term, knowing the results will be more worthwhile in the long term.
I talked with John K - a member of bodhi for the past 3.5 years and asked him what was the key to his transformational success.
He has completely transformed his body, from 23% bodyfat to 6%, from bench pressing 135 as a max 3 years ago to now benching 205 for reps of six.
Results don't happen overnight, but with consistency and patience.

#51 Losing weight during the holidays
I’ve been talking about this a ton lately. Mostly because it’s the most difficult time of year to start a weight loss plan. Which is the exact reason why I feel you should start your weight loss plan.
We are constantly faced with life events which can easily distract us from our goals. Any goals really, but I’m talking specifically about weight loss and body transformations here.
I’ve seen it in 1000 (maybe more) times. Your restricted diet is going great with meals timed out perfectly, workouts are invigorating, and losing weight seems easy
Then, you get invited to a birthday party and you don’t have access to the foods you’ve been eating which has gotten you recent success on the scale and in the mirror. What do you do?
Do you eat the meal with the forbidden foods that you’ve avoided for so long? Do you “splurge” and have the cake also?
The reason I offered a 6 week Holiday challenge for the folks at bodhi was to create some awareness around eating foods moderately and to learn how to incorporate all foods into their diet. And still, lose weight.
I crashed in on Danielle’s weekly consultation with Karen when I heard them celebrate a “new low” on the scale. Ironically, it was after Thanksgiving. So I felt compelled to ask Danielle a few questions regarding her recent success.
Take a listen, and please leave us a review of this podcast! Also, share with a friend who may be struggling with their diet during the holiday season!
Thank you! 💚
Fear. It holds us back, and when we find out that there is literally nothing that holds us back more than fear, we can move forward to create our best life.

Go Vegan! If you want, and If not we still love you!
Should I go vegan was the question and Karen and I answered in this #askmonetti podcast.
Here we go with another powerful podcast with an entrepreneur who I share similar core values with; Duke Baxter owner of Zones Sports Academy.
I met Duke through the BNI (Business Networking International) group. The BNI is a membership-based business to business networking group of people that meet once a week to connect, share and strengthen professional relationships. Karen represents bodhi every week and holds the fitness and nutrition seat in the group which means no one else can join the group in the same field.
Duke and I instantly hit it off. He is passionate about helping his athletes perform at their best not only on the field but off the field in life. Duke and his team at Zoned create leaders, which is something I can relate to and the underlying mission of project my life.

Mental Health and Self Awareness
Back again with John Mopper from Blue Print Mental Health, because last time was was good we had to do it again!
John is a therapist and is the co-founder of Blue Print Mental Health which is a boutique mental health practice located in Somerville NJ.
It’s amazing how life comes full circle. Back in the early 2000s, John Mopper was a General Manager for L.A. Fitness in Toms River NJ. This gym is where my trainer Nick Depalma (coach during my MTV True Life episode) and I trained for many years.
It wasn’t until John walked into bodhi a few years ago asking for help with his personal fitness journey that we really got to know each other.
Obviously, there are many overlaps in our businesses. When looking to create your best quality of life, we preach the importance of mindset. Being aware and understanding your emotions is the first step in figuring out what you want and truly need to improve your life.
Topics we discussed include:
