Why get better? Why show up and try to put the effort in? Why not “coast it” in life? Why not go around the shops every day?
Why not catch up on all the TV series’ your fiends keep telling you about? Why not reminisce about the “good old days”, because “life used to be better then” didn’t they?
You may have heard these words off people you know, and they may have half-convinced you of accepting you’re top old, you’re too overweight, you have too much joint pain, you don’t. Have enough ability any more, you are “entitled” to feel sorry for yourself.
If you want all of these things, then you will have a whole stack of people to back you up, to enable these highly limiting thoughts, to let you sink into obscurity bit by bit, because this lifestyle doesn’t demand anything out of you.
You will become a very big moaner, complain that life passes you by, and before you know it, it’s impossible seemingly to turn the tide.
At the gym, you decided to become different. You decided to push yourself and turn back the clock and become better again.
You became fed up with the lack of energy in your life, the lack of ambition and being scared of taking on challenges again.
The funny thing is though, no matter how tired you seem after work, when you show up you feel much better, especially when you didn’t even feel like coming in the first place.
A decision to get better and improve your life across the board is exactly that, a decision. When circumstances seem against you, you need to act even when you don’t want to, putting on that red t-shirt you know elevates your mood, especially when you show up and test yourself, and brings back your self-esteem and self-confidence in abundance, when done regularly.
Getting your trainers may always seem tough, but following the process through by showing up makes a massive difference in every area of your life.
