Optimism is firmly believe allows our bodies and brains to adapt and condition ourselves to a better reality now and a better future.

Negativity and accepting there is no way out of that DE-conditions our minds, and naturally hurts our bodies because we stop taking positive action to get out of that vicious circle.Being optimistic even in the toughest of times WORKS and I’ve seen the difference between those who look forward to their days and those who dread them.

We need to see life as an everyday opportunity, not every day we will win but as long as keep having a go, and keep moving forward to what we really want, bit by bit, we will change our lives only for the better and feel all the better for it.

Change is going to happen-always. 

From the American election today, through to the change in seasons happening right now, we will have plenty going on. Whether it’s what we want to happen or not, we can’t control any of it.

What we CAN control is our positive response.

We can choose to feel better, we can choose to focus on what’s going on in our immediate environment and when we do that, everything will look and feel better than if we surrender and leave how we feel to others.

Our direct choices within our own control can mean instant happiness and fulfilment and making it sustainable, or low energy, regrets and a life of complaining “why me”, until we realise we have to help ourselves first, life won’t get better.

One good workout can be tough, but the next time you will get better, and put a series of workouts together and you will soon be in a state of good flow, and it will become normal to feel better, normal to take on change in your stride, and normal to look forward to a more positive, productive and more energetic future.

Motivation can often come from unlikely sources and we NEED to tap into them.

There will always be people who will be pleased at our success in life, but there will be others who aren’t happy with it. We can all relate to those people.

So when you are thinking “I cant be bothered”, or you want to hide on the settee instead of having a go in life and getting stuck in, you really should think what those people who always doubted you be thinking now?

Were they right? Was their assessment correct, you really couldn’t do great things?

The reality is you CAN do great things, you have proved that before, and you CAN do it again but you need to step up, you need to show up and you need to get stuck in and get great workouts done in the gym.

We all need doubters because their purpose from my point of view is to provide the fuel and fire needed just when we need it!!!

What are you waiting for?!!! See you tomorrow and let’s go to war!!
