Day 31-discovering yourself again!

So following on from yesterday, all of us are in certain situation in life now and some of us are more happy than others to be in it?

If things simply weren’t as they are now what would happen? You have a chance to rewrite your life and start again somehow and get a better life, perhaps move towards the life you always wanted, but are too afraid to try? What if somehow you didn’t have the same responsibilites and expectancies, you felt you were buried so deep that you seem to have no choices in life, but now you feel as if you can turn it around and do better, much better maybe?

What would happen if you weren’t so overweight and tired? Would you live a little differently? Or a LOT DIFFERENTLY MAYBE?

What would happen if instead of feeling trapped, you had the opportunity to shape your life around who you really are and what defines YOU and MATTERS to YOU?

Given a second chance, are you going to change things around and move towards your best version of your life, or is “being the same” as everyone else, would it be  “safer”  in some way, and are you really going to settle for mediocrity in your life so you don’t upset people (who probably don’t count anyway)? Do you really not join in this programme because you may think if you try your hardest, then there is nothing else better out there for you? I can assure you that there is a better life out there for you and you need to grab it right now before it passes you by again!

I haven’t just given you hypothetical questions, if you start living better by eating better, training hard, and making better choices throughout the day, you are about to discover that you have a heck of a lot more choice about what happens in your life than you could ever dream.

This all begins with you refusing to accept and make excuses for you and the life the way it is right now. That’s a cold statement maybe from myself, but i’ve been there myself. If you don’t have what you want and need in your life right now, you must be willing to look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that, and say so with conviction.

I have done a survery of a lot of people i train this week and ask them a straight question. Was your life better before you started making the right choices with exercise and food? I WANTED AN HONEST ANSWER!

100% of them reflected on their past life, examples were one of low energy, interrupted sleep, constant aches and pains, lack of desire in their lives, no confidence to go on a beach or swimming pool, no confidence to go to party’s because some people would comment on how big they were, couldn’t fit into clothes of their choice, they now say how their relationships have improved in all ways, their hopes and aspirations of the future for themselves and their children are now greater, how they wasted their lives not being fit and healthy and now how great their lives are and they simply want MORE of it all the time, etc.

I could go on and on with numerous examples, but the time is now to really find the best version of yourself right now. Don’t be fooled by the food industry propoganda, eat well and eat as natural as possible, and fresh too when you can, keep alcohol to a minimum, train like you have real passion for your workouts and want to be getting fresh oxygen in your blood, be positive about life and life around you, don’t be so cynical and help those who need it if they ask in times of need.

Surely you may think i don’t need to keep banging this drum daily, but i feel i have to, because there are too many of you out there wasting your lives away, instead of enjoying to the levels i know you can. The time is now again and the first thing you can do is change your supermarket shoping list to 80-90% good, fresh natural food. What you put into your body every day will have a direct effect on the way you look and feel!! Time to do it again and every second counts!

Let’s do it!

Day 30 Your future

Is it at all possible that you have a wonderful chance for a tremendously more exciting and rewarding life, but you tend to undervalue yourself and put yourself down because you don’t think that life is possible?

If you do think that a exciting life is indeed possible,  are you are stuck in a place you don’t think you can get out of? If that is the case, would it be fair to say that you are really a unique and special person with the need to do and be all of who you can be. You may not achieve this maybe because you feel weighed down by life, by responsibilities and you don’t really “want to make a fuss”!

If you are really this person with huge ambitions for yourself and don’t do anything about it, you are letting yourself down, your family and all of those who depend on you for whatever reason. I wasted years working in an office, not really believing i could make it on my own. I am making up for it now, but i don’t you to waste all those years yourself, and that’s why you need to be on this programme changing your life around and being your best, and really creating the new you.

Taking control your life again is hugely liberating. It’s all about finding the old you and to do that, you only have to think back to the best times of your life and how good they made you feel.

What was the happiest time of your life? The most fulfilled and the most you’ve just been “yourself”. In those times, life should have been full of excitement and energy, and at the same time, you will have been at peace with yourself as life was calm on the inside.

You may have been in employment, but work would have seemed so much fun back then in your best time. You may have felt as if you were exactly who you were meant to be, and working with colleagues who you wanted to work with.

You made decisions for the right reasons and you didn’t care what anyone else thought, they were the right thing to do and that’s what really counted. There was no self-doubt and no excess worrying, everything life in life will have flowed together and you lived every day looking forward to the next. There was a sense of optimisim, that good things would always happen, as long as you put the work in and you treated people fairly.

You weren’t sure  what the future would bring, but you didn’t care so much then, as you were full of self-assurance, not arrogant but confident in your abilities and you were going to strive to get what was rightfully yours, no matter how long it took. Your accepted the way you were and this was the fundamental reason this was the happiest period in your life.

To get back to these times, you need to discover what is important, and throw away the negative stuff that is hurting your progress to a better life. Life can push you out sometimes so its time to put your life together again and respect yourself for who you are and what you do.

Life is not “going along” with any old rubbish, life isn’t “a bitch and then you die”, it really doesn’t have to be that way at all and deep down you know it. It’s not about “getting by” and if you just do that, you have settled for a life much far less than i bet you thought when you were 18!

It’s time to put the excitement back in there, and get back to your best times, when endless possibilities existed and life was flowing with endless energy. Those of you who have significantly improved their fitness, health, their bodyfat, blood pressure, energy levels, skin tone, hair, teeth, resting heart rate, organ function, will all know that life tastes better where you are right now and your “old self” is coming back! 30 days into this thing already, you have an incredible 54 days to make an even bigger difference so let’s get excited and keep making the change!

Day 29

Wow, doesn’t day 29 sound a long time! It does for some of you maybe too, and it does make you realise that life doesn’t always go to plan, things don’t work out right sometimes, and sometimes you’re simply chasing your tail to stand still!

What i have noticed mor e and more over the last couple of weeks is a true secret to success. After studying people who are successful, and seeing what really makes a difference in their lives, i have noticed a key thing.

Most if not all of us are faced with key decisions and trivial decisions throughout the week. If anyone had any valentine chocolates yesterday, and you had one, was it possible to stop at one? Very hard task wouldn’t you agree?

What happens when we are feeling down, is it possible sometimes that we are bought a cake, or some junk to cheer us up? Hasn’t that happened more than a few times to all of us?

What about when we are in the supermarket, we think sometimes “oh go on then” to a certain piece of fast food we never think we are ever going to eat? But then we eat it a couple of days later!!! Ever happened to you?

What about when we promised ourselves that great workout the weekend, and somethings comes up and we never get to do it, has that ever happened to you? And have you noticed once you cancel one workout, how easy it becomes to cancel a few of them, simply writing it off as “one of those things”!

What i am talking about here is those split second decisions that wreck our ambitions at times, seemingly meaningless decisions but they can create a negative pattern when we are trying to get into top shape!

What about then when we eat less well, we actually become less well. When we workout less well or not at all, we become less well and that’s a fact.

I have said before about the old saying “its in the moments of indecision that your destiny is shaped”. Never has it been more true when you think about it. Just look at all of those moments i have listed at the start of this post, and they potentially happen to all of us every day or certainly at least once or twice a week.

Guess what happens when you don’t make the right decisions constantly? You develop NO momentum, and this hammers your progress! Momentum is critical.

It sounded a simple plan didn’t it when we first started? Implementing it is easier said than done, it all starts with the first steps again so if you have been derailed lately, its time to get back onboard and getting the basics a big part of your life again.

Life is too short for excuses so stop kidding yourself. You have it in you to be your best, time to do it right now!
