There are two options this Christmas.
Complaining about the way things are and moaning your way through it, adding worsening health on top of it, or trying to make the important things in life better, being prepared to put a shift in, especially when it comes to your health because that’s the thing you’re going to need most when it comes to putting the things right you’re not happy with.
Living to survive, instead of trying to thrive by putting in the continuous work, can be an everyday choice. You can look at those trainers for hours sometimes, until you say “tomorrow”-maybe.
All of us have a point where we aren’t happy in life or we are fed up with a situation, and I urge you to take action at that desperation point, and do the things that are going to make you feel better-tried and tested. When you want to get out of hell, you have to face the devil himself and that’s the lifestyle that could be making you sick as we speak.
I love that moment when it’s cold coming into the gym, and then the saying “if you are cold in the gym, then you aren’t working hard enough” comes to mind.
Throw some weights around, get on the bike-JUST MOVE. You won’t only get warm, you will want to do a LOT MORE too, and it’s like pressing the reset button on your brain again that often threatens to let you down again-especially this time of year.
You have to decide that with 14 days to go, are you going to enter Christmas the New year in great shape physically AND mentally (not forgetting christmas is a very sad time for many), with your immune system stronger than ever, (the big reason there are more colds than ever this time of year is because people aren’t exercising and eating worse than ever), and really starting as you mean to go on.
It could only really be your best year next year if you FINISH OFF STRONG this year and you get real momentum which can make you unstoppable. These two weeks could change your future and make you really proud of the year you have just had.
