If you see a graph of anything, the stock market, results on just about anything, you will never see a straight line up, nothing goes up without having a little pause or even a dip, before re-starting the journey back up again. This applies to even the best of success stories.
When you are training with us, you are very likely to improve quickly and keep improving steadily. What happens when the dips come though? When you start doubting yourself even after initial success? Or even several examples of success? The good news is that these doubts happen to ALL of us.
This is exactly the time to appreciate what you have achieved so far. Have you evidence of how well you have done? I’m absolutely positive you have. What allowed you to succeed in the first place? What did you do to excel? What are the little things you used to do so you made such a massive change to yourself?
These are the questions you must ask yourself when you hit a dead end, and it seems so tough to get out of.
Are you self-sabotaging? Do you allow yourself a certain level of success, then sabotage it all because you don’t think you are worthy of being successful? I know this is very common indeed.
Rather than get buried by the dips and dead ends. Re-assess the situation and ask yourself rationally what’s changed? Do you stress eat when problems and pressure arises in life? If so, can you find another way to let off steam? Many people have a stress in their life and they act irrationally and either eat or drink more when that happens.
A blow out is not a problem, but when that blow out ends up going on for a week or two, then it could turn into a month of eating rubbish or drinking too much.
Be very aware of the obstacles and challenges of your journey are not always exercising and eating right. They are often when “life” happens. Recovering from those stresses quickly, and not by “eating” your way out of it are crucial.
All the stresses in my life, i have found that going for a run, doing some weights have helped enormously and clear out a lot of the “bad stuff”. Having the right strategy is vital to keep your success journey on an upward curve that never stops apart from the odd blip that we ALL get.
