I know I can control my attitude, I can control my effort, I can control my efforts and my behaviour for the most part.

I have no control of anyone else’s opinions, their moods, their actions or other people’s mistakes-in general I leave them go on their own path, and leave that play out for them because I won’t change that or have any power over it-ALL of this is outside my control.

I know what works, what doesn’t, what’s a fad or gimmick, and the overwhelming power of doing the right exercise and rehab will have on anyone who comes into the gym.

We are all capable of doing only a few things really well and my full concentration goes into that.

Anytime you spread your attention too thinly, you lose your ability to do even one thing well, and you start worrying about things that don’t really matter at the expense of what you really want in life.

Control what you can control, the rest is not worth worrying about.

Nobody should ever make you get fit and healthy. Nobody should march you into the gym and say “do it!”. It’s got to come from YOU!!! 

You aren’t “getting away with it” if you are eating rubbish food every day, nobody really cares if you have a “sneaky drink” most nights or takeaway for that matter. 

Nobody cares either if you spend most of your life sitting down and not active (sitting in your car, on the settee, laying down on the bed etc), because most people are concerned with their OWN life.

What I will say though that lifestyle will catch up with you. 

Being inactive, eating ultra processed food/ready meals etc will accelerate the ageing process, will bring a lot of pain into your body, will play havoc with your mental health, will seriously hurt your self confidence and self esteem, and the only positive thing that could come from all of that is you be forced to take action (sooner rather than later), to reverse some of those devastating life changing effects of living an unhealthy lifestyle.

Change is always possible and if you go about it the right way determined to take action continuously, all good things physically and mentally will begin to happen again, but the change starts internally with YOU really wanting to do it.
