Looking at things in a different light can make the difference between doing positive things, or feeling your are collapsing under the strain of life.

Some of us have terrifying schedules to some, and some of us moan about our jobs, our lives, our responsibilities. If you look at these factors in a different way, and feel lucky that you have such a busy schedule, feel lucky that people make us responsible for others and take pride in that, and that our jobs are actually meaningful, we can soon feel pretty lucky indeed, and look at things in a different way.

I feel lucky that some of you communicate after i’ve shared my thoughts with you every day. This helps me learn and understand what’s really going on out there, and i learn more about the highs and lows of human emotions.

You will hopefully benefit from me sharing all the things i know, and it’s great to have some positive feedback on what we do on here.

Life’s about different experiences and I’m sure a ton of them are about to come!!

Seeing the light for many of you will come through our 84 day challenge, some of you may find you in the past you may have been on the verge of giving up in exercise terms whatever way you tried to do it in the past, the verge of throwing in the towel many, many times, but some of you came through and actually demonstrated to yourselves that if you employed the right strategies, you could really improve yourself and make a major contribution to your wellbeing and health in general.

You overcame feelings of hopelessness at times and were brave enough to get off the floor and come back fighting to where you are now, firing on all cylinders again.

I have said many times that one of the biggest secrets of success is simply showing up 80% of the time. If you expect good things to happen, and you take positive action each day in the hope they will, chances are that some good things will happen.

Gary Player, the world famous old time golfer once said when asked by the media on how he was so “lucky” he replied, “the funny thing is, the more i practice, the luckier i get!

Hope your week is going well and keep practicing to get better with your exercise and cooking skills!

Mindset can always be difficult at this time of year, but it says a lot that many of you are still setting personal bests even though there are only a few short days to Christmas.

This mindset becomes the difference between hitting Christmas with momentum, or just limping over the line gasping for air.

“Feeling good” now becomes the main factor as well as looking your best.

You know you’re going to feel good if you don’t throw all your good eating efforts down the pan.

Mince pies, “party food”, drinking every night never made anyone actually feel better, maybe for 10 minutes at most.

Not being active, not training, not moving around always makes you feel sluggish, tired and quite often miserable, as you all know.

The best way to create energy in your lift would be to keep as active as possible, keep eating “energy giving” foods and all of these will help you stay massively positive into the holiday season.

Feeling better and being positive are two of the most underrated benefits of exercise and eating right. With all the dark nights, cold and wet weather at their peak right now, your determination to live a healthy lifestyle and perform well, will have a massive effect on your moods and energy levels so keep at it and even light exercise will be a big plus for you if done regularly.
