What The Media Say

Hi, I’m James Peters.

In 2017, I experienced a life-changing tragedy when I lost both my father and son within a span of six months. The grief and depression hit me hard, and I was even falsely accused of a crime during that time. With the possibility of being sent to jail, my life felt like it was falling apart. Despite trying therapy and medication, nothing seemed to work for me. However, something happened that shifted my perspective and set me on a new trajectory. I found natural ways to heal and discovered the power of viewing my experiences and emotions from an outside perspective. This allowed me to cultivate self-compassion and truly live with love. As a certified transformational coach, I now teach my clients to disconnect from past versions of themselves that no longer serve them and work on changing the context of their lives.

I believe that life’s challenges are meant to help us grow, and I encourage others to take them on with courage, learn from them, and flourish. If you’re looking for guidance on your own journey, I invite you to book a 30-minute Discovery Call with me today. I was fortunate enough to be featured in several prominent magazines such as Forbes, Success, Wealth Insider, American Weekly, and Inc. in 2022. Don’t let excuses hold you back from chasing your dreams. Let’s work together to create a life you truly love.

Slowing down saved me when pushing through couldn’t. In 2017, grief hit hard—lost my dad, my son, locked up on a false charge, all while juggling court and leading startup recruitment. The world said ‘power through.’ I nearly broke trying.

Grief doesn’t play by those rules. It demands space, not speed. So I stopped fighting it. I learned to manage my energy instead. Here’s what worked:

✨ 15-Minute Rule: 15 minutes to feel it all. No rush. Just real.

✨ Micro-Goals: Tiny steps over big leaps. Small wins kept me going.

✨ Pausing: Rest isn’t failure—it’s strength.

The toughest thing I did was stop. If you’re hurting, give yourself that permission. Slowing down isn’t losing. It’s how you move forward.

Drop a 🤍 if this resonates. Share it if it’s what someone needs to hear.

Transform Your Mind: Be the CEO of Success

Your mind is the CEO… but is it running a Fortune 500 company or a failing start-up?

If your thoughts were running a business, would you invest in it? Or would you be like, ‘Nope, this company’s going bankrupt!’

Strong leaders—whether in business or life—don’t let doubt and fear run the show.

They decide the vision and execute. So today, fire the thoughts that aren’t serving you. Appoint confidence as your new COO. Let’s scale this mindset to success!

Comment ‘I’m the CEO’ if you’re running your mind like a boss!

Discipline Over Motivation: The Truth Revealed

Stop waiting for motivation. It’s a lie.

I didn’t feel like running 250km. I didn’t feel like climbing Kilimanjaro.

But I did it anyway. Because discipline > feelings.

The best don’t rely on motivation. They rely on systems, habits, and discipline.

Motivation is based on dopamine. Discipline is built through repetition.

Your brain follows what you repeatedly do—not what you ‘feel like’ doing.

Drop a 👍 if you’re done waiting for motivation and choosing discipline instead.

Why High Performers Train Stress, Not Just Skills

The best don’t just train skills—they train their minds to handle stress.

In Hell Week, ultra-marathons, and Kilimanjaro, I saw one thing: pressure breaks most people.

Your brain panics under stress—unless you train it not to.

The top 1%—athletes, CEOs, special forces—don’t avoid stress. They expose themselves to it in controlled ways.

Your brain’s amygdala triggers panic. But if you practice handling stress, you rewire your nervous system to stay calm.

It’s called stress inoculation—and it’s how the elite stay unshakable.

What’s one stressful situation you want to handle better? Drop it below.

Train your mind like you train your body—stress is part of the game.

The moment pressure hits, you have two choices:

1️⃣ React with panic and make things worse.

2️⃣ Stay calm, stay focused, and take control.

I learned this during Navy SEAL Hell Week, ultra-marathons, and Kilimanjaro.

At hour 40 of Hell Week, I watched people quit—not because their bodies gave out, but because their minds did.

Why Your Brain Defaults to Panic

Your amygdala (fear center) sees pressure as danger, triggering fight-or-flight mode. This is great for survival, but terrible for business, leadership, and endurance.

The best performers—athletes, CEOs, special forces—train their nervous system to stay calm when it matters most.

3 Steps to Train Mental Calmness Under Pressure

1️⃣ Control Your Breathing – Slower breathing signals safety to your brain, keeping your thinking clear. Try 4-4-4-4 breathing (inhale, hold, exhale, hold for 4 seconds each).

2️⃣ Reframe the Stress – Instead of “I can’t handle this,” say: “This is just another challenge to overcome.” Your brain follows the story you tell it.

3️⃣ Shrink the Moment – Overwhelm comes from thinking too far ahead. Focus on one breath, one step, one decision.

The Real Test? Applying This in Everyday Life

You don’t need Hell Week to test your mental toughness.

Use this when facing high-stakes decisions, tough conversations, or moments of self-doubt.

Where in your life do you need to train calm under pressure?

The Secret to Looking 10 Years Younger

Want to look younger? It’s not skincare—it’s mind care!"

What If You`re Only at 40%?

Most people quit at 40% of their actual potential. That means—you’ve got 60% more left in the tank.

When I ran 250km across Tanzania, my body told me to stop at 100km.

At 150km, my legs felt like lead. At 200km, I thought I was done.

But at 250km? I realized—it was never my body stopping me. It was my mind.

Your brain is designed to protect you, not push you. It sends signals to stop way before you actually need to.

But every time you push past that mental quit point, you rewire your brain for resilience.

Next time you think you’re done, go 10% further. One more rep. One more call. One more step.

Because what if… you’re only at 40%?

In 2017, my life shattered.

I lost my father and my son.

Then, I faced a false accusation.

Grief pulled me down. Anxiety and depression took hold. I wanted to escape. But pain is unavoidable. You cannot run from it. You must confront it.

I chose to suffer on my terms.

Pain is a part of life. But you can train to handle it.

Most people avoid suffering. I learned to embrace it. I started running. Not just any runs. I tackled ultra-marathons.

250km in the deserts of Tanzania and Jordan.

175km across the UK.

Three London Marathons.

A grueling 50-hour Navy SEAL Hell Week.

The David Goggins 4x4x48 Challenge with a 10kg vest.

I didn’t run for fun. I ran to prove I could endure. Each challenge pushed me. Each moment of pain taught my mind to say, Not yet. Keep going.

Your brain is wired to keep you safe. It fears discomfort. It wants to conserve energy. Most people quit when things get tough. But your mind gives up long before your body needs to.

Neuroscience shows that facing controlled adversity rewires your brain. It helps you manage stress. Your decision-making and focus improve. You learn to see obstacles as challenges, not threats.

You don’t need to run ultra-marathons to build resilience. Here’s how you can train your mind for toughness in everyday life:

Do Something Uncomfortable Daily – Take cold showers. Wake up early. Push through that last rep at the gym. Small discomforts prepare your brain for bigger challenges.

Break It Down – In Hell Week, I focused on the next 5 minutes. When life feels overwhelming, concentrate on the next small step. Don’t think about the whole journey.

Master Your Inner Voice – Your self-talk shapes your actions. I remind myself: I don’t stop when I’m tired. I stop when I’m done. Find a phrase that motivates you when times get tough.

Choose your hard. Embrace the challenge. Build your resilience. You can endure more than you think.

Kick Fear Out: Take Control of Your Dreams!

Ever notice how fear moves into your brain rent-free and eats all your snacks?

Fear’s a lousy roommate—it crashes on your couch, tells you you’re not good enough, and hogs the remote. I used to let it stop me, like when I almost didn’t chase a dream because ‘What if I suck?’ Spoiler: I didn’t.

Here’s the trick—fear’s loud, but it’s not the boss. Tell it, ‘Thanks for the input, but I’m doing it anyway.’ Kick it out, one step at a time. Try it today—pick one thing fear’s holding you back on and move. Save this for a pep talk whenever you need it!

Circumstances Don’t Suck – Your Thoughts Do!

James Allen in his book as a man thinketh says we don’t attract what we want, we attract what we are.

That means if you constantly think ‘I’m broke,’ life’s like, ‘Oh, they love that vibe. Let’s give them more!’

Flip the script. Instead of ‘I can’t afford this,’ say, ‘How can I afford this?’ That small change in thinking sparks solutions instead of excuses!

Tell me—what’s one thought you’re upgrading today?

Your mind is a garden… but let’s be honest, is it more like a Zen paradise or an abandoned lot?

If you don’t plant good seeds in your mind, weeds—aka negative thoughts—will take over.

James Allen says that just like a gardener pulls weeds, you’ve got to yank out those thoughts that whisper, ‘You’ll never make it.’ They’re lying."

Take five minutes today. Write down one limiting belief and replace it with a powerful one.

Example: ‘I’m not good enough’ → ‘I’m learning and improving daily.’ That’s mental weeding!

Grief can feel like a shadow.

It creeps in, heavy and silent.

You might not even see it coming.

Late 2023, I found myself lost.

After running ultras in Tanzania and Jordan, I thought I’d conquered my pain.

I faced the Peak District’s 175km and survived Navy SEAL Hell Week.

Two London Marathons were behind me.

Yet, I sat in a chair, feeling hollow.

My son and dad were gone.

Medals piled high, but they meant nothing.

A dull thud echoed in my chest.

“Why am I still so empty?” I asked myself.

I’m no hero.

I’m just a guy, feeling half here.

Then it hit me: this emptiness isn’t forever.

I ran.

I stumbled.

I let the ache wash over me until I saw light.

Grief is sneaky.

It steals your joy.

You drift through days, eyes dim, that ache bubbling up.

I’ve lived it.

Mornings felt gray.

Breaths were shallow.

A piece of me was missing, and I couldn’t reach it.

They say your mind rewires itself.

UCLA calls it neural grief.

But it’s simple: you feel empty, and it pulls you down.

I didn’t fix it neatly.

I ran, fell, and held my grief until I could hope again.

You might feel the same.

Look in the mirror.

You’re slipping away.

You must turn around.

I carved my healing from that darkness.

Since 2022, I’ve coached others to find their way too.

My book, Unleashing Your Mind’s Potential, lays bare my journey.

It’s real.

It’s raw.

Want my 1:1 support to lift you out?

Reply “YES.”

I take a few, and it’s messy work that makes you feel, not fade.

What’s grief silencing in you?

Your mind is like a gym. But let’s be real—are you lifting wisdom or bench-pressing bad habits?

You wouldn’t expect to get fit by watching fitness videos while lying on the couch, right?

Same with your mind. As a Man Thinketh teaches us that your thoughts shape your reality. If you’re constantly thinking, `Life sucks,` congrats, you’ve just subscribed to the premium plan of suffering!

Want better results? Change your mental workout.

Start small—replace one negative thought with a positive one today.

Drop ‘I’m unlucky’ for ‘I create my own luck.’ It’s a rep worth doing!"

Early in 2022, I felt like an impostor.

I’d sit with coaching clients, scribbling notes just so they wouldn’t see my hands shake.

My voice cracked. My stomach sank.

Inside, I was screaming, *“You don’t belong here.”*

Shame had me by my neck.

I was fragile, shrinking under its weight.

But here’s what no one tells you: shame doesn’t leave on its own.

You have two choices: let shame keep you small—or fight back.

I chose fight.

- I ran through Tanzania’s heat and Jordan’s deserts—250km each.
- Survived Navy Seal Hell Week.
- Took on two Goggins challenges wearing an extra ten kilos.
- Crossed two London Marathon finish lines.

Every step, every stumble, I shed that weight.

Not all at once, but piece by piece.

And then I realised something:

Shame isn’t just an emotion.
It’s an anchor.

It keeps you stuck, replayed on loop like bad music.

But you don’t have time for that.

I didn’t charm shame away.
I didn’t wait for permission.
I ran, I fell, I stood back up.

Now?

I coach others through their own fight.

What’s shame stealing from you today?

2021 was my year on pause.

After running an ultra-marathon, I was done. Not physically—mentally.

I sat staring at cracked walls, toast untouched, hours slipping away.

I told myself I was “restoring.” But deep down, I knew:
I wasn’t resting. I was rust-ing.

That realisation hit hard.

Stagnation wasn’t just slowing me down—it was pulling me under.

I was disappearing.

Fast forward:
→ Two London Marathons
→ Navy Seals 50hr Hell Week
→ Two 4x4x48 Goggins Challenges (with weight vests!)
→ And ultra-marathons across Tanzania and Jordan

But back then?

I was stuck.

Here’s what I learned:

• Stagnation isn’t stillness—it’s decay.
You think you’re pausing, but you’re fading.

• Change doesn’t feel good at first.
Starting was messy, uncomfortable, and everything but inspiring.
But movement—even clumsy movement—creates life.

• Momentum is built, not found.
I didn’t wait for motivation.
I clawed at momentum until I felt alive again.

Now? I help others do this too.
Coaching. Writing. Sharing my messy climb out.

If you’re stuck, know this:
Your chair isn’t saving you.
It’s sinking you.

What’s stagnation making you?

If you’re ready for raw, gritty work that shakes you awake, let’s connect.

Reply “YES,” and let’s carve out your momentum.

Anger can tear you apart. It can leave you feeling lost.

But it can also be your path to healing.

I remember late 2020. I had just finished my first ultra marathon in the Peak District. I was a wreck. I paced my home, fists clenched, voice cracking. I felt like a ghost. My son and dad were gone. My body was broken. I shouted, “Why am I even here?”

That night, I was not a warrior. I was a mess. I shoved furniture and sobbed until my throat burned. I felt small and stupid. Then it hit me. This rage was not my shield. It was my shovel, digging me deeper into despair.

I know many of you feel this way. You’re in that pit. Anger has you ragged. You pretend it’s okay. You snap at your friend. You kick the bin. You carry a weight you refuse to admit. I know this pain. My hands shook. My eyes stung. I was drowning in anger.

Experts say it’s your brain on edge. UCLA calls it a spiral. But it’s simple: you’re bleeding inside. This anger is tearing you down. I didn’t fix it overnight. I staggered. I ran. I let it spill until I could feel again.

You might still be there. Look in the mirror. You’re coming undone. You have to stop it.

From that wreckage, I built balance. Since 2022, I’ve coached others to climb out too. My book, Unleashing Your Mind’s Potential, is my raw truth. Link in bio.

Want my one-on-one coaching? Reply “YES.” I take a few clients. It’s real work. It’s messy.

What is anger leaving you with?

#LossToLegend. I’m here. I’ve been that broken.
