One of the easiest emotions to share is negativity, things are too tough, too hard, too gloomy, too dark.

And we can all relate to this at times 100 per cent.

Realistically though, there is never a “perfect time” either.Things will never be the “right time”, the right conditions, “I have all the time in the world suddenly”.

There will always be obstacles and tough conditions for you gettting your health right, but get through them you must. Attitude and enthusiasm all comes from being in the right environment and can rub off on you big time.

If you arrive at the gym having a rubbish day, chances are you will leave in a better place, especially in the mind because you have made things change for yourself.There will always be someone next to you to lift you up, someone next to you worse off, someone next to you who overcomes hardships as if they were nothing, and who knows the amazing value of being more active, and the great positive vibes that is guaranteed to bring into all areas of your life.When you arrived at the gym, you did so because you didn’t want to joing “just another gym”.

You joined because you wanted to transform yourself physically and mentally and bring the best of you out and throw the negative stress that everyone has INTO THE BIN!!!The start of the week is the perfect time to remind yourself how great you can be with a positive attitude that is determined to take action every day!!

Stress eating, stress drinking, stress drug taking often starts from exactly that-STRESS, and often an overwhelming stress event or events that caused you to find solace in food, alcohol or drugs which initially gave great comfort, but the side effects will often turn into a living hell, that will temporarily always be solved by the eating, drinking or drug taking.

Healing with never start though until you take charge of it. Society often paints people who over eat rubbish, who are in the pub every single day as “heroes” but when you speak to these individuals privately, you get a sene of inner despair and mood swings which only masks unhappiness that the food or drink temporarily hides.

If your body is always inflamed internally (causing often extreme pain) through eating excess processed food, then you are on a one way ticket to long term ill health which nobody would wish on anyone.Nothing wrong with a treat at all, it adds variety and spice to life but when it becomes 80% of your diet, your body will rebel eventually and kick you where it hurts continously.Turning the tide means showing up for workouts when you don’t even want to that day, not putting the rubbish into your shopping trolley in the first place and getting support from people who you trust.It’s hard at first but it means you being honest for the first time in a very long time and what type of future you want. “living for the now” is NOT over eating and over drinking and scrolling the channels, nobody in their right mind would call that “living large” pardon the pun.

Living with no energy and using food as an emotional crutch needs to end, and the greatest comeback of all time is in sight for you and very achievable.Clean up your diet, drinking more water and get down here 3 times a week, that will be far more powerful than any medication could be and I have strong evidence of it happening each and every day.
