A famous study in Japan showed something amazing about what we expect, rather than what’s the reality.

The test was a piece of poison ivy was rubbed on the arm of the volunteers with blindfolds on. The other arm was rubbed by a harmless plant. The trick was the arm they thought poison ivy was rubbing was in fact that harmless plant, and vice-versa.

The results were staggering. 80% of the test group who thought they were being stroked by poison ivy (when it was the harmless plant) came out in redness, boils and other unpleasantness.

The ones who were REALLY having the poison ivy on their arm mostly suffered no side effects, only 20% did!

This is remarkable but shows what we “expect” can be different to what the reality should be.

With your programme, if you expect not to enjoy exercise, it’s going to be tougher to get through it. If you expect healthy food to be “boring” no matter what, then you are not likely to make much of an effort to experiment with recipes and new ideas.

If you expect not to be able to make time for your exercise sessions, then you won’t full stop! You will never make space in your diary, and you will use that old chestnut “i haven’t got time” despite us all having 168 hours per week.

If you have had previous negative exercise experiences, then you are not likely to be very open to new and more science based training.

Start EXPECTING BETTER things in your life, start right now and expect more every day, your mind will get used to it, and you will move towards good things in your life and develop a new higher level of achievement.

If you expect to exercise almost every day, such as scheduling a walk first thing tomorrow morning, and every saturday morning without fail, then better things happen and you clear your mind early in the day.

Expect to shop better in your daily/weekly shop, only put things in your basket that will benefit your body.

Make your diary include 3 sessions at the gym every week, no matter what, expect to be active more regularly and expect to perform well each time.

If you expect better, then you will achieve better without even thinking about it too much.

What is your KEY habit that’s letting you down right now that you can and need to change for the better? Just think of one, you know that’s harming your progress, and let’s start today by replacing it with a stronger more positive habit.

As humans, most of us can’t handle massive change at one time, so we need to change one thing at a time and take plenty of time to re-enforce it. Then when we change it, the positive powerful effects spread through the rest of your day and life, and affect all areas in some way.

Key habit example-Showing up.

If you have become the type of exerciser who show up 3 times one week, then once the week after, then 4 times the week after that, then not at all the week after, the this would be a key habit to change and positively affect your life and help you become a LOT more successful.

So just concentrate on this and that’s it. Forget about everything else, just focus everything you have on getting to the gym, schedule in your gym sessions 3 time a week, NOTHING gets in the way. I REPEAT THIS IS IT, and nothing else!

This habit change will transform your life. From the showing up part, you know you will be on our programme immediately. You will get stronger and fitter again, that’s without a doubt. Then from that, you will start to feel more positive again. Then from that you will start WANTING to come to the gym because it makes you feel better and more positive, and not like it and get annoyed if you DON’T make it to the gym.

When you exercise regularly, you will naturally get to the stage of wanting to eat better because you won’t want to blow all that hard work in the gym.

So you can see from this one key habit of SHOWING UP, a lot of positive life-changing things have happened for you and can happen for you, all it took is changing one KEY HABIT, and the rest takes care to itself.

Don’t over-complicate things, don’t weigh up this and that, it all starts with changing one powerful habit and just concentrating on that, the results that follow will be long lasting and create very strong foundations for you in all areas of your life.

People always talk about a “right time” to do things. This unfortunately involves waiting, sometimes so much waiting you never actually do it. Many people say i will wait until i get new training shoes, i will wait until my friend joins the gym with me, i will wait until i “get in the right frame of mind”, I will wait until the winter/spring/summer/autumn for whatever reason etc etc.

If you look at some of the greatest and most long lasting businesses over the last 100 years, MANY of them starting during recessions, when many people advised them to wait “until the dust settles” because it would be madness to do so.

Usually though, many businesses start because they are ready to start and share their product with the world. They are so busy “doing”, that the timing doesn’t really matter.

With your exercise programme or decision to eat healthy, it often starts “next week”, “next month” and usually not at all. The longer you put things off, the harder it becomes to do, this applies to anything.

The power you give yourself by deciding to get active right now will indeed empower you!

The power you will give yourself when going shopping you decide to put only healthy foods into your basket will signal the start of a new and healthy lifestyle for you, and immediately things will change for the better.

Each and every day is a fresh opportunity for you to get better, but first you must stop the endless conversations about how something in the future will happen “one day”. That “one day” doesn’t usually happen.

Once you decide to take action, then you will be proud of yourself. Once you have taken action once, then you are likely to take action on a regular basis. This process of finally get your behind in gear and doing something positive every day will eventually create real transformation in your life, and you will no doubt wonder why you didn’t start earlier.

The choice is yours, stop doing the “what if’s”, “i’m too old, too overweight, too unfit” conversation. Everyone has the same opportunity, take yours right now.

Thanks to so many of you “opening up” on your eating! Whenever we would ask someone to tell us the truth on their eating, they would clam up and not want to talk about it!

What a difference now! Not only are you posting your own photos, some of you are bringing samples of your amazing work down the gym. They are all first class so far and great tasting!!!

Shelley Johns has for ONE YEAR had a campaign going for a salad bar at her university, and guess what? It has finally appeared, so well done shelley!

I predict a further avalanche of results coming our way with all the big efforts you are putting in. Please keep the open communication coming, we can only help if you keep giving us feedback on how you can be helped further.

Nicola says a big thank you for all your emails to get your eating right. Please keep them going to nicoladavisonfitness@gmail.com

You should be and you are entitled to massive results and we will give you everything to enable to achieve that. Don’t hold back, don’t wait another minute, give us what’s on your mind and let’s improve it all in minutes and hours, rather than let it go and never get addressed!
