Keri McKibbin Personal Training

Parts of your day will not always go your way, and its usually the stuff that’s out of our hands, that can happen and does happen.

What we can control though is our attitude, how we show up to places, the effort we put in, a great attitude will separate us from everyone else, and our attitude will dictate our resourcefulness in any tough situation.

Complaining more, saying we have it harder than anyone else is very likely not to do ANY good, and that effort of complaining could always be better put into something far more productive.

You will have plenty of company when you complain though, because everyone does it. 

The deciding and separating factor though comes when we DECIDE to do something about it, to energise and mobilise ourselves to become better, to become more resourceful, to find ways to overcome, to realise that tomorrow is another day and no matter how bad today is, we still have another great short at life tomorrow again!!

Keep on taking your shots and never give up trying, your attitude will dictate how many shots you keep taking and it’s why you eventually WILL succeed.

f you can LOSE your mojo, motivation, get up and go, then you can absolutely REGAIN it, but it depends on you regaining your habits.

Just think when you miss lots of workouts, you will not be motivated to eat well, maybe missing breakfasts or eating sugary breakfasts, snacking on pastries mid morning when you wouldn’t have even considered them before, eating less protein overall so you are less satisfied, and always chasing the next sugar fix.

Your moods will be up and down (mostly down) because exercise not in your life so much will hurt your mental health, more lows than highs, and more negativity and irritability than feelings of wellbeing.

It all depends on you-scheduling your workouts IN, showing up regularly again and quit making excuses. It may have been very warm this week, but doing less IN your workouts is perfectly acceptable so take the pressure of yourself, this way you stay motivated to eat well, you have the mental health benefits and energy and motivation comes back into your life.
