“I never believed I was average, and that alone is a big reason I wasn’t.” -Arnold Schwarzenegger
Very few of us are ever able to feel like we accomplish the majority of our goals. And, whether we want to admit it, life is a game of trial and error. So, it’s easy to get caught up in the errors and frustrated by the trials.
But, if you learn from those who have repeated, timeless successes, their mindset usually leaves clues about how they were able to apply different rules to the same game.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is the ultimate example of someone who has created opportunities throughout his life. And, while no one needs to replicate his path, the way he approaches life is a masterclass in mental mastery.
“No matter what, I had to prove to myself that I’m extraordinary. There is no normal,” Schwarzenegger shared in an exclusive interview for Ladder.
The mind is a powerful thing, and Schwarzenegger has leverage an unbreakable mindset to seemingly create a competitive advantage over the universe. As someone who started with nothing when he immigrated to the United States, his belief in himself has made the world apparently bend to his will — and not the other way around.
“Always think of yourself as special. And think, ‘I’m going to prove to myself and the rest of the world that I can do it.’”
Even at 72 years old, the bodybuilder-turned actor-turned governor-turned activist continues to believe there’s more that he can accomplish — and it’s likely the main reason he continues to add new achievements to his resume.
Here are 8 lessons that I took away from my interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
“There’s an advantage of doing things automatically,” says Schwarzenegger. “I have a routine where you don’t have to think much — if at all. [Routines] are the foundation of a house.”
Schwarzenegger has built his life on habits and routines that have made him a creature of habit and efficiency.
Whether it’s his workouts — delts and arms one day, chest and back and calves another day, abs every day, and an extra 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise at night — or checking email and catching up on news, Arnold has built-in expectations for his day.
“Add as many of those routine things as possible because you do them without ever thinking about them. This is your daily schedule. Like breathing.”
While this isn’t earth-shattering, his mindset towards creating habits isn’t what you’d expect.
Whereas you might consider certain habits as difficult to build, that’s the first step in guaranteeing that it’ll be harder to adopt change.
“People should realize that I don’t have sympathy for ‘difficult.’ There are a lot of things in life that are difficult,” adds Schwarzenegger.
“If you want to build routines, you need to change your expectations. Are you going to back off every time something is difficult? Or, are you going to be the person who looks at something that is difficult — or the most difficult — and say, ‘I’m going to go and do it and prove it to myself.’ That’s how you build habits. “
“Don’t ask should or shouldn’t I. You just do it.”
Part of Arnold’s legendary focus is a byproduct of his routines. But, just as importantly, it’s knowing what’s fixed in life — and when you need to put additional time, energy, and creativity into the non-routine aspects of your day.
To help you understand the importance of automated experiences, Arnold shared his experiences in politics.
“When I was Governor, I had fixed funds on what you could spend on certain programs like education. It’s a fixed expenditure. Same for healthcare and prisons.”
“I had something like only 8 percent of discretionary funds. There’s very little wiggle room. But, knowing what is automatic and knowing what is not help you focus,” says Arnold.
And that’s the way it should be with your daily routine. He recommends creating as many fixed moments in your day. Then, you have fewer aspects where you need to dig deep, be creative, and come up with custom solutions.
You might see this as a limitation, but Arnold sees it as an advantage. Less variation means more focus. And the more you can focus on fewer things, the more likely you’re able to create a bigger impact.
I asked Arnold about something most people don’t know about him, and he shared his love of art and painting. But, that’s not what stood out to me (even though I was impressed by his painting). It was how he thinks of his time spent creating art for others.
“Today, it’s easy to go to a store and buy a gift or go to the flower shop and get flowers. You used to go out and pick flowers and put in a vase. It’s all flowers. But, my mother was in heaven that we made an effort to go out and make the gift.”
Arnold understands that output isn’t the only measure of success. Your effort is also an important part of the equation.
“You must try to make an effort in everything you do, especially things for others. When you find pottery and paint on that, they know you spent hours on that. It makes a difference. It takes effort and people really like that.”
According to Arnold, more than 50 years ago, no one worked out in the morning. Gyms didn’t open until 10 am, so the entire structure of the day was based on rules that, as it turns out, didn’t exist for a good reason.
Arnold broke down how back then, people believed that you were weaker in the morning. It wasn’t until he lived with his idol, Reg Park, that he started squatting 500 pounds at 5:30 am, and his entire workout schedule adjusted.
The shift helped him remove limiting beliefs about his body, which, in turn, helped him understand that most limitations are self-conceived. This even led to some unreal 3 am workouts as an actor.
“If you think you can’t do something, you won’t. But, if you try to do something different, you might be surprised how much what you thought was a limitation wasn’t real.”
“Arnold, you’ve been asleep 16 hours. Something went wrong with this non-invasive procedure…you had internal bleeding, and in order to have you not die, we had to open you up.”
In the most powerful moment of our discussion, Arnold shared how his “routine” heart surgery took an unexpected turn and he was faced with a difficult comeback prior to filming the latest Terminator film.
When he was awakened after 16 hours, his immediate response wasn’t what you might think.
“Wait a minute, in three-and-a-half months, I’m supposed to be in Budapest to shoot Terminator 6. But, they are saying it takes 6 months to recover.”
While it might seem like Arnold wasn’t thinking about the big picture and overall health, it was — in fact — the opposite. He was visualizing where he needed to be as a way to return to health.
“I always look for motivation. If you have no motivation, then it’s hard to get going under those circumstances. You’re down and you have a major setback. And the vision is what can bring you back.”
“If you have no goal, you have nothing. You have to know where to go. You need a vision.”
Once you have your vision, then you need to put in the reps or mileage. This is exactly what Arnold, whom many consider the greatest bodybuilder of all-time, had to do in order to recover from his heart surgery.
“I asked the doctors, ‘When can I get up?’ And the doctor says 3 to 4 days. People don’t die from the procedure; they die from pneumonia and lungs filling with fluid,” recalls Arnold.
“I’m going to be up tomorrow and I’m going to be walking. Get me a walker. And that’s what I did. I went for walks, would lie back down, rest, and then get back up for another walk. I was a fanatic. I built up to 2-hour walks. Then, I traded the walker for a cane.”
Within 6 days he was out of the hospital. Just 3 weeks later he was working out with light weights. And, as he promised, three-and-a-half months later, he was on set for Terminator 6.
“The director said, ‘I can’t believe you had open-heart surgery three-and-a-half months ago,’” says Schwarzenegger.
“We all have setbacks, but, if you have a very clear vision and a clear goal, then you put in the reps, you can come back.”
Despite his success, Arnold isn’t immune to having down moments or aging. But, it’s his ability to adapt and be self-aware that allows him to keep on thriving.
“When I hit 50, I realized I was not able to come back as quickly at 2 am for filming after 2 hours of sleep. So I said, ‘I will never sleep again at night when I’m filming.’ But, I needed something to give me a spark.”
That spark was chess.
“The more chess I played, the more alert I was and able to come to the set fully charged because my mind was ready from all the chess. I remembered the lines 100% and the physical work felt 100%.”
“You have to figure out what it takes to be on. When you have a setback or feel sluggish or mentally tired, you must find a way to recharge.”
In the 1970s, Arnold found himself overwhelmed with bodybuilding, acting, buying real estate, and building construction.
“A lot of things were coming together at once. I was overloaded,” recalls Schwarzenegger.
At that point, Arnold turned to meditation, something he has discussed in the past. For a year, he would meditate 20 minutes in the morning and another 20 minutes at night. Whereas many might find meditation beneficial for its ability to calm and destress, Arnold found another invaluable benefit that continues to help him today.
“[After meditating] all of a sudden, I could focus on one thing. I could do real estate and not be thinking about bodybuilding When training, I wasn’t thinking about acting. I got really focused and learned how to focus, and it made me better at everything I did.
“Knowing how to focus on one thing at a time has made me better at everything I did.”
Whatever you take away from Arnold, the foundation of his mindset is rooted in something we can all possess: confidence. And it’s that confidence that has allowed Arnold to take chances and push himself to heights no one could’ve ever imagined — except maybe himself.
“Prove to [the world] that there are extraordinary things that can happen because that’s when they can.”

The good about COVID life and carry-out? No dishes. Even with new and rather impressive dishwasher…I mean, who wants to do dishes? One of my new work tasks includes Facebook Live cooking demos once a week. I’ve been loving it, but it requires planning and dishes. Lots of dishes.
I’m guessing my competition, like Giada and Martha (obviously), have a whole crew to help them set-up and clean-up. My ordeal is more like an iPad that is barely kept from falling by my GIANT Yeti cup, sitting on my kitchen island with the top of my head not in view. I mean, we’re making it work. And at least I have lunch leftovers for the next week.
Next week, we’re switching the time to the 6 o’clock hour to capture any daytime working viewers and to change up the theme of what we’re making (week 1 was breakfast). I would think this would be the easiest one to plan out, but I’m sitting here with few creative juices flowing.
Back to COVID life, though. The BAD is that my family and I can never agree on what we should order for carry-out. My typical requirements include 1. not a chain (few exceptions with Panera and Chilis being 2 of them) and 2. something I wouldn’t typically make at home.
You know what I typically don’t make at home? GYROS. Even though I love them so. And while my family doesn’t necessarily Jones for one right alongside me, sometimes…I plan selfishly around my wants! So rather than calling these “gyros”, I called them “beef pita sandwiches”. I mean, whatever.
They had no clue. They gobbled them right up. They asked for seconds. I loved them because not only did they scratch (the gyro) itch for me, but they were incredibly easy to make. Toss it in and go. If you want to be all the more efficient, you can even look for Greek yogurt tzatziki in stores. It’s nearly just as good. I think next time, I’ll add just a sprinkle of feta cheese!

The conventional healthcare model isn’t equipped to address chronic illness and, in fact, it’s hurling toward bankruptcy and insolvency. But ancestral health, coupled with support from Functional Medicine practitioners and health coaches, can change the future of healthcare.

The last day I was in the office doing my job-job in-person was March 17th — St. Patrick’s Day. After closing down the office indefinitely, I went straight to the grocery store to stock up on a few things and to get food for a St. Patrick’s Day meal. Of course, that included cabbage.
Half a cabbage head remained in my fridge for a few days and I then ran across this recipe. I’ll circle back to this recipe in juuuuusst a moment.
I’m heading back into work-work (as in, physically in the office) tomorrow. It feels weird. I have worn make-up once in the past week and my eye literally rejected it, both burning and turning red. This COVID life has me in my daily uniform: black leggings and an over-sized shirt of some kind. Undoubtedly, without a bra on. Make-up has been reserved for as-needed times, such as telehealth visits with patients and any important audio + visual meetings.
It has been GLORIOUS, honestly. I’ve gained some serious hours back in my life and I’ve used those to exercise and read. A few TV binges, but nothing major. I certainly haven’t run out of want-to-watch shows and series.
The one thing I haven’t gotten a chance to complete, is a scrapbook. My pictures are en route from Amazon and I’ll spend some weekend and evening time capturing some memories of the past few weeks. For me it has gone really fast and while I know life isn’t back to normal-normal, going back into work is certainly a step in the direction of life as I knew it. Of course, it isn’t without some reservations and uncertainty, as well as some fear that I return to work in the physical sense.
So nearly 6 weeks later, and how many times have I cooked cabbage? SIX. That’s more in the past few weeks than previously in all my years combined. I fell in love with cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day this year and this “stir fry” has been my favorite recipe with cabbage to date. It’s way more versatile than I thought and this vegan gem is so, so good with that peanut sauce to bring it all together!

Hi everyone! It has been so hard to find the right words for this post as my heart is breaking for the world right now. I hope you are all staying safe and doing well. How are you doing? I’m wishing you all love and strength to get through whatever challenges may be coming your way during this pandemic. We’re about to start our 7th week of “sheltering at home” and are all doing well & taking things one day at a time.
A gift from my heart
We’ve been trying to do our part by helping the community in various ways, but I also want to do a little something personal for some of my blog readers who are working on the frontlines and in essential services during this pandemic. This idea is a small way for me to connect with you and say thank you for all that you’re doing! So that said, I’d like to mail a signed and personalized copy of my brand new cookbook (my very first hardcover….eek!), along with an Oh She Glows Recipe App download, to 15 frontline and essential workers located in Canada or the US. These gifts will be sent out as soon as my book launches early this fall. Side note: I almost nixed this idea because I worried there would be hard feelings if I couldn’t send one to everyone who reaches out (I will likely have a lot more than 15 emails), but I hope you’ll understand that even though I can’t send you all one, I’d still like to do this to bring a smile to some of your faces during this difficult time. (And I’ll be doing more cookbook giveaways for the entire OSG community in the late summer and fall, too, so there will be other opportunities coming up.) You can nominate yourself or someone you know. Please send a brief email along with your city, and province or state (or your nominee’s story and location) to frontline@ohsheglows.com by May 1, 2020. We’ll select 15 frontline and essential heroes and I will cover all costs of shipping, the book, etc. Due to the volume of emails we anticipate receiving, we’ll only be able to reply to those who are selected, but I want to say a huge thank you in advance for sharing your story with me and to all of you out there who are making sacrifices for your communities every day.
A little about this soup
Today, I’m sharing a versatile, nutrient-packed, and pantry-friendly soup that I’ve been making for the past several weeks. I can’t tell you how much of a go-to recipe this has been while trying to juggle work deadlines and refereeing (oops, I mean parenting) and homeschooling. You can use virtually any veggies you have on hand as long as it totals about 8 cups (be sure to see the Tips in the recipe below for ideas). I’ve created both Instant Pot and stovetop versions for you as well. I love that I can throw everything into my Instant Pot, turn it on, and walk away! And the stovetop version is almost as simple…the only difference is that you’ll need to stir it a few times during cooking. I’m whipping this up twice weekly until the warm weather sets in. I hope it brings you some comfort during these trying days. I’d love to hear which veggie combos you use…my favourite combo so far is: broccoli, carrots, butternut squash, frozen green beans, and sliced cremini mushrooms. A nutrient powerhouse! I’m not joking when I say that I’m eating this daily for lunch…it helps balance out all the baked goods that I’ve been stuffing in my face…lol.
PS – I’ll be sure to share a lot more details about the new book (as well as the big cover reveal!) soon. If you haven’t already, be sure to sign up for our newsletter, as we’ll be relaunching it this spring and revealing the cover and details there first.
Sending you all love, good health wishes, and big virtual hugs,

This spicy, bursting-with-flavour soup can be made with whatever veggies you have lurking in the crisper and pantry. My favourite combination of veggies is broccoli (rich in immune-boosting vitamin C), butternut squash, carrots, and frozen green beans, and I’ve detailed the amounts I use in my recipe below. You can use any veggies you love as long as it totals 8 cups of chopped veggies (see my Tip below for ideas!). I’ve also provided two different cooking methods: a hands-free Instant Pot method and a traditional (but still very easy) stovetop method. The beauty of this soup is that it’s so simple to make—we simply add the ingredients to the pot and let it cook away! The soup’s spicy flavour comes from using a generous amount of red pepper flakes. I like 2 teaspoons for a moderate, zippy heat level, but if you aren’t a fan of a lot of heat, start with 1 teaspoon and go from there. If you want to use my Instant Pot method, you can find the directions at the bottom of the Tips section. This recipe is adapted from my 8-Minute Pantry Dal.
*I love fire-roasted diced canned tomatoes in this soup, but feel free to use regular canned diced tomatoes if that’s what you have.
**You can use practically any veggies you have on hand (most veggies should work, however, I probably wouldn’t try beets or eggplant, but maybe that’s just me). Veggies to try out: broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, carrots, sweet potatoes, yellow or red potatoes, button mushrooms, squash, sautéed onions/garlic/celery, thickly sliced zucchini (with skin), kale, frozen peas, etc. Just make sure the chopped veggies total 8 cups. If using onion, celery, or garlic, be sure to sauté them in the oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until softened, before adding the remaining ingredients. I have not tested any frozen veggies besides frozen green beans, so I can't vouch for other ones working.
***If using French-cut frozen green beans (the thin variety), add them during the last 5 minutes of cooking to prevent them from softening too much.
****2 teaspoons of red chili flakes results in a zippy, moderate level of heat (my fave way to make this soup!). If serving to spice-shy folks, start with 1 teaspoon (for a mild soup) and add more after cooking, if desired.
INSTANT POT METHOD:
1.To a 6-Quart (or larger) Instant Pot, add all the ingredients, except the red lentils and apple cider vinegar. Stir until combined.
2. Now, pour the red lentils evenly overtop the mixture and gently press them into the liquid with your hands or a spoon (do not stir the lentils into the mixture as this can result in a burn notice in some machines).
3. Secure the lid in the lock position and check that the Steam Release Handle is pointing to the “Sealing” position.
4. Press the “Pressure Cook” button (or “Manual”, on some machines) and set the cook time to 1 minute on high pressure. After a few seconds you’ll hear a couple beeps and the screen will say “on”. The cooking process has begun! (Pro tip: it will take about 25 minutes for the machine to come to pressure before the 1 minute timer is triggered.)
5. You’ll hear a few beeps when the 1 minute timer is up. Immediately do a “Quick Pressure Release” to avoid overcooking the soup (simply shift the Steam Release Handle to the “Venting” position to release the pressure). Once all of the pressure has been released, the float valve will sink and you won’t hear steam anymore.
6. Carefully open the lid. My Instant Pot defaults to the “keep warm” setting, so I cancel it and turn the machine off to avoid over-cooking the veggies. Stir in the apple cider vinegar (starting with 1 tablespoon and adding more from there, to taste...we love 2 tablespoons for a nice zing). Sometimes, there may be a very slight coconut milk separation in the soup after adding the vinegar. This is natural and nothing to worry about. Season each bowl with a sprinkle of salt or Herbamare, if desired, and enjoy!
When our third child started to eat solid foods, we found out that he had a pretty severe dairy allergy. It started with bad gas and mucousy stools, then progressed to skin reactions and even worse digestive problems. Food allergies are common in babies born early, and my son was five weeks premature (that whole story …

Are you doing a lot of home workouts right now but it all feels a bit random? We’re here to stop that.
No more random bodyweight workouts.
No more random resistance band workouts.
If you want to make the most of this time at home, you need a training plan.
One that’s designed to improve your strength and build muscle week-after-week.
We’ve got you covered.
This resistance band workout is a take on the classic Push, Pull, Legs (PPL) template, which is a 3-day muscle and strength-building split. Our approach was to keep it simple for beginners. Rest assured that this split addresses all of the major muscle groups.
Instead of using barbells or dumbbells, we’re going to maximize the use of resistance bands. Don’t have one at home? We will our recommendation below on what you can order today.
How? By using tactics and exercises that drive more muscular tension and push you closer to fatigue.
The first question you should ask is what is your fitness level? This article is targeted for beginners.
So let’s start with setting the right resistance.
The key is that for each exercise you need the band to start above its resting threshold.
In simpler terms, you should feel the resistance in the band before you begin any of the exercises outlined below. What is most important during a resistance band workout is not to rush through the movements. Be sure to take your time, feel the burn, and squeeze your muscles during the workout. You want it to have constant tension.
Here’s the band we recommend right now: The EliteFTS Pro Monster Mini Resistance Band.
You may train more than 3 times per week, but always follow a Push, Pull, Legs cadence.
Once Per Week
Every Day, No Off Days
Every day, no off days: Lower, Push, Pull, repeat
3 On And 1 Off
And, although we’ve assigned 3 sets for most lifts below. The number of sets is really up to you.
If you only have 20 minutes, just run through all of the exercises once.
Have an hour and really want to get after it? Do 4 sets.
Getting the right tension in your bands comes down to your foot placement within the bands.
Get it right, and the band will resist your full range of motion. Get it wrong, and the band will be either too tight (and therefore restrict your range of motion) or not tight enough to challenge you.
Here’s a quick video on where to put your feet in the bands.
Let’s go through each movement below to make sure you are doing it with proper form.
Kneeling Adductor Stretch
