Keri McKibbin Personal Training

If you are struggling with confidence (and judging by the many messages I get daily, quite a lot of you are), then you need a lot of help to be the person you USED to be and the person you NEED to be right now for all sorts of reasons.

Getting back to a time when you felt in control of most things in your life, you had great health, you felt great mentally, emotionally, the whole thing may seem like a while off the way you feel right now, and taking the steps to get back there may seem daunting, scary and even beyond you (in your head) at the moment.

BUT sometimes, it’s good to hit rock bottom and decide “enough is enough”, and you aren’t going to take a poor level of health anymore, physically and mentally.

Struggling in life, being out of breath when you exert yourself is a place NOBODY wants to be, but you know there is a way out, a better way to live and feel and finally be out of pain that may have threatened to take over your body.

Without your health, you cannot do the things you need to get done. Without everyday energy, you won’t have the get up and go to have a go at things you really want to achieve in life. If you are worrying about your health, everyday colds and flu will have a much bigger impact on you than everyone else, and your recovery will be much slower and often more complicated  too due to the other ailments you may have, and from not changing your lifestyle earlier despite many warnings maybe.

There has never been a better time to get your self-esteem and self-confidence up by moving more and exercising most days, getting fresh air every day and eating much healthier, and being around a lot more positive people.

All of this boosts your immune system hugely and helps you avoid a lot of illness, even if you do pick up colds and flus like many do at the moment, it means you will recover quicker and you can finally concentrate on what’s really important in life again.

Never forget your health is true wealth, and with it you have a thousand dreams, without it, you only have just one-to regain your health again.

It all starts with you deciding to change and taking action every day to create  a far more positive future for yourself and those closest to you.

There are two camps in life right now.

One camp is the one GRATEFUL for how they could move this year already, how well they could adapt to the challenging new programme, and how much better their year will look if they have great health. They are very much glad they got going.

The other camp in life is bragging how much time they had over Christmas, and how “lucky” they are to have yet another week off even if nobody else is off, even if it does mean binge watching Diagnosis Murder and Ramsey’s kitchen nightmares, everyone “ought to be jealous yes?”-somehow envious pf the mundaneness of this schedule?

Rest is good but the longer you celebrate being inactive, not doing much and celebrate yet one more week eating rubbish, the harder it is to get going again, and the more likely you will settle for mediocrity, settle for a lifestyle where you become an “expert” on takeaway menu’s and an expert on binge-watching trash TV shows. Your mental health will also be likely on the floor because you have little to stimulate your brain.

When you challenge yourself every day to get better, you force yourself to rise to the challenge. When you challenge yourself, a different type of mindset takes over, watching trash and eating trash no longer becomes acceptable, no longer satisfying and definitely not fulfilling in any way, and you realise that you were destined for much better in life after all.

Do more in life and your sense of purpose is very strong and have everything to live for, and you will get up every morning raring to go extremely eager to get stuff done!!!
