Achieving your goals doesn’t happen just because you just dream about it, talk about it, or even write it down.
It comes from the day to day decisions and keeping to what you said you were going to do, long enough to get to your end point where you actually achieve what you wanted to do.
Everyone who becomes successful with their health or just about anything never actually “own” it, it can never somehow stay that good forever without working on it. It needs to be something you to develop every day so you become better at it.
Once you realise that it’s really YOU who can really change your health, your fitness, your wellbeing, your moods, your energy levels, the way you look and feel, then you will feel liberated because you will realise that it really IS in your own hands after all.
The choices you can make vary wildly, many with wildly different outcomes.
1. If you want to become really unhealthy, start going for a takeaway each night and start buying wine/beer for the house and get stuck into it every night. Then stop exercising immediately and your mission to become really unhealthy will become a reality far sooner than you think.
Your moods will increase drastically, you will develop a negative state of mind and your standards in everything are likely to drop.
2. If you want to feel amazing and finally be healthy and fit, then try the following.
Try getting to bed earlier, start drinking more water, start exercising, drink alcohol in moderation, start eating more nutritious foods, and start setting targets for yourself along the way. Measure your progress and once you hit your initial goals, set yourself higher and higher standards.
Not everyone is prepared to put the work in to get to a high level they can be proud of. Focusing on getting better is the key, rely on your own efforts and forget about outside forces, because if you put your head down and really go for it, you can achieve anything you want.
If we focus on improving ourselves every day, then success is very likely to happen.
One thing we don’t often talk about is “neglect” and the things we don’t get out of our lives that are hindering our progress.
It’s like trying to climb a mountain with a pebble in our shoes all the time.
What starts as a minor irritation soon becomes a bigger and bigger problem, until it becomes highly damaging.
Neglecting good nutrition and neglecting your exercise programme will always hurt your progress and affect you negatively, the longer it goes on the worse it gets.
Are you still eating something every single day that still hurts your fat loss efforts, despite training very hard most days? Do you still call in the same petrol station for example for a bottle of wine on the way home? The same box of chocolates? How about takeaways in the week regularly?
Do you let others stop you from training, or are you neglecting your training kidding yourself that you still magically will be in great shape by “watching what you eat”, and finally get around to training “someday”?
The old saying is that the road called “someday” leads to a town called “nowhere”.
Everyone picks up pebbles in their shoes along the way and the sooner you take your shoes off and shake them out the better.
If you’re neglecting something every day that’s stopping you reach your goals, then you need to have a good shake out and replace those habits with strategies that will actually help you.
Those indecisive times that come in your life when you feel like you can’t exercise due to work commitments, it’s not “convenient” any more, you’re having a holiday or time off, you just can’t make it, etc .
These are called your “HOLY MOMENTS”.
These are the exact moments you either just do it, you stay with your programme or you just “don’t” do it!
I learnt this off many individuals over the years, those times when you know that something you eat will be bad for you, you know that missing your workout will not do you any good, and you can totally justify it, as you’re so busy.
If you make the RIGHT decision to not eat the junk and actually train instead of skipping your workout, then you had a “holy moment” because at that exact moment you did the “right thing” even when there was a million reasons not to.
Making the right decisions are never easy, they are very tough normally, but you have to keep making them to keep your momentum going, the progress coming and your feel good factor turned right up as high as it will go.
These decisions will define you and separate you totally from those who have “average” results. If you think about the average level of fitness in this country then you know they are not that impressive, if you think the average dietary habits, then you know by looking at others’ supermarket trolley then that’s not usually that good.
Lifting yourself up to another level and leaving “average” behind requires lots of holy moments.
Often your best workouts are the ones you didn’t even feel like doing in the first place, but are always the most important.
So when you’re stuck for time next time, your day or week may not be going for you, it’s then you have to make it happen, you better just get your kit on and go training, it WILL be worth making a much healthier meal, and you will DEFINITELY feel better right after it all-YOUR HOLY MOMENT doing the “right thing”.
