Here’s a little experiment for you.

Try doing something that involves movement right now. Go for a walk, come down the gym, go for a run, bike ride or anything that makes you move and getting breathing quite heavy and out of puff.

Then think of at least one thing that you have been putting off. Maybe its a decision on something, a phone call you have been putting off, perhaps its something you need to sort out at work but have thought “maybe next week”, perhaps its making a decision that you’re not going to put up with something anymore and you’re not going to hang around with that person who is negative with you all the time, whatever it may be just think of that on your walk/run/bike ride etc.

Then decide WHATEVER happens, when you return you’re going to take action on that very subject that you have been agonising over, or its been bothering you so for long it’s not even funny anymore. Within 5 minutes of getting in the house, you are going to DO IT NO MATTER WHAT.

Once you do it, you will be so relieved and proud that you had the courage not only to do it, but get negativity out of your life. This will set you free for all the GOOD things in life that NEED your attention.

Have you noticed i mentioned MOVEMENT at the start? This is the key, moving more will automatically get you in the frame of mind to make big changes and immediate changes that will immediately change your life for the better.

Then, once you get in the habit of making big decisions one day, then you will start knowing the formula to create further big changes, perhaps a few big changes all on the same day if you practice it enough. It’s all about creating your right state of mind, it’s all practice and definitely not a case of being born with it or some kind of magic powers that only some have. You have it totally within your power right now! All it takes is a bit of bringing it out of you.

Exercise not only leads to you looking and feeling better, but leads to a much more positive mindset that propels you into making important decisions that will literally change your life.

Here’s what’s just hit me right now (hits me every day!) and it should hit you right now too! It needs to be said and now!

Each and every one are different, you approach training differently even in the same programme. You all excel in different things, some are stronger, some have more endurance and some have blinding speed that is difficult to re-create. Not one of you is the same.

This is the most important thing you can consider tonight-CELEBRATE how different you are!

Nobody is going to be the same as you, nobody can do this like you, nobody can inspire others like you, nobody can do as good a job at this as you-this is fact, you are all different on your ability but as long as you approach your programme and everything you do in life with passion and commitment, then good things, often GREAT things can and will happen!

The mission you should be on now is not only continuing to be different, but continuing to be performing well above average all the time, set your family or friends a great example, if you work for someone get them to appreciate you more by showing them your true potential and how inspiring you can be.

Don’t listen to anyone who wants you to “fit in” and not create your own work and efforts. People who create their very own different and impressive work won’t always please everyone, but be proud of what you are doing right now, you are making a massive difference ot yourself and others.

Mindset, the way you look at the world is everything and will always make the difference between you being one of the crowd or you reaching your true potential and standing out in every way possible.

Lots of people start things, and getting fit and healthy is a big thing that most people want to start at one time or another. It’s exciting to start new and exciting things whatever they are.

Starting is the easy part, finishing is the hard part!

It is the finishing that separates those with passion from those without it.

Most meaningful things in life require some suffering and sacrifice along the way, otherwise everyone would find big achievements really easy.

The problem starts if you get used to starting something all the time, then never finishing it and never seeing things through. This leads to feeling unfulfilled and eventually you don’t really believe you can accomplish anything because you can never see things through all the way, it becomes a very bad habit and trait until you actually conquer it.

When you fulfil the tasks put in front of you, you will take several steps forward each time to realising your dreams. When you see things through, the personal self-satisfaction will be huge and long-lasting. This can become a great habit too, and see you go on to completing many others things in life.

If you have passion for something, then you will see it through. When you don’t have passion, you will likely say you will “try” often building in an excuse even as you say it. If you start but don’t finish you can always say “at least i tried”.

The big difference is when you say you WILL DO. This is likely to lead to you finishing NO MATTER WHAT.

There is nothing more fulfilling than taking a dream, a goal or an aspiration-no matter how difficult-and completing it. We have many individuals doing this exact thing right now, and i see the personal pride it is giving them every day.

Whatever you goals and aspirations, the time IS NOW to see it through and feel the inner pride from doing it ALL THE WAY this time!!

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. I am proud to see so many of you inspiring others at the gym, we have so many now that it makes my job a lot simpler.

Becoming a leader is not becoming the person who shouts the loudest, shows off the most or throws his/her weight around. It is the person who leads by example, picks individuals off the floor who are emotionally spent, its the person who has very often been down the bottom themselves, often many times, and is well aware of how hard the journey out that deep hole is.

They will also realise what it feels like to come out of that hole, how it feels to make themselves a success again in their chosen field in life, and anyone who has been through that challenging journey will usually want to give back and help as many others as they can who need to help to believe in themselves again.

It’s vital to get everyone to finally believe that it really is up to THEMSELVES what they accomplish, it really is. You should never a accept an outcome that SOMEONE ELSE prescribes for you.

You should never listen to any critics, don’t pay attention to any apparent reason on why you can’t achieve your goals, concentrate on your strengths and not your weaknesses, it really is YOUR call.

Many people will tell you that achieving big things is impossible, all YOU need to remember is that the so called “impossible” just takes a little longer.

What i find is that many people have preconceived ideas of how you should do it when you want to get fit and healthy. The idea that you just walk/run on treadmill, maybe hit a couple of machines, and even worse never shown how to do it properly, is a thing of the past, it should never exist now. There are so many more options that are far more attractive, more fun and most importantly backed up by science.

When someone shows you things things you thought impossible, your view of exercise soon brightens up and you soon realise that your possibilities are endless, and all of sudden you are shown horizons you didn’t know existed.

The word inspire means to “breathe life into”. When we breathe life into another, we inspire their hopes, goals and dreams. That’s what we should all be doing whenever we get the chance!

Losing confidence in yourself and then in your training is very easily done.

I have trained many, many individuals in business over the years, many seem super-confident, the reality is that they have just as much self-doubt as all of us, and often question whether they are good enough to deserve any success, sometimes “self-sabotage” when things are going almost “too good” and in general, have the same worries, confidence issues, self-esteem issues, self-worth issues as all of us.

Here’s what i notice all the time. If you don’t exercise almost on a daily basis, you WILL NOT feel as good, you wont have the energy to perform as well as you would like, you won’t have the sense of well-being that we really need, and when you don’t feel good, a downward spiral starts to happen. That ride down is no fun for anyone!

Privately, and you all know that i never reveal any of your business, most of you have revealed moments of doubt and pain, wondering whether you can still achieve big anymore, can you really put the effort in required to be fit and healthy anymore, are you too told, too big, too timid-ALL of those things!

Some of our most successful transformations have been the most bumpiest. They have involved tears and sometimes shouting matches, sometimes quiet whispers and gentle words in order to get them back on track. I go through this regularly and this is why i know exactly why carrying on and climbing back up that mountain is super important for every area of your life!!!

Here’s what i know, and i have been doing this a LONG time so i’m qualified to have a very strong opinion. Your mindset and a STRONG mindset starts with exercise and eating right, it REALLY does, it never goes away from this!!!

Get these parts right, the 10,000 piece jigsaw of happiness and health will get solved MUCH quicker and with FAR less emotional drama that always happens when you change your shape relatively quicker, you start thinking differently and the demands of that can be emotionally very demanding, as well as physically of course.

I’m here to talk it through, to lift you up if you are down, and for you to finally be proud of yourself with the incredible achievements that are just about to happen for you!!!
