Friday, 7th April

What’s your friday story look like? It’s fun to have a drink in the sun on a friday. I used to run sandy water park every friday whilst the Sandpiper used to be rammed with teachers and others celebrating friday and end of work.

Like being in school though and in work, you have to get through the work your body NEEDS first. Don’t you feel better when you exercise? I am guessing many of you, the trick is prioritising it in your day before the fun begins, or you really haven’t earned it at all.

If you don’t put it in, then your body will deteriorate and quickly. That youthful energy and drive will disappear into low expectations and a mindset of where is the next drink coming from.

Where you proudly used to go shopping for clothes, and anything would fit, now you may be choosing clothes that “hide” things because they are so loose, and you may be sticking to the darkest of colours to wear.

Where is that pride, youthful excitement and drive to be anything you wanted to be? 18 year old energy doesn’t last forever if you don’t work on it, but EVEN MORE energy CAN be created at 50 years of age IF you give your body the work it deserves, it wants to be active, it wants to functioning at its full capacity again, it wants most importantly to feel alive again.

If this weather doesn’t give you the kickstart to get more active, then you need to have a look at yourself.

Sun on your back means you are being actively encouraged to get out and about and show what your body was meant to do.

No excuse now to shiver indoors, and waste yet more time watching rubbish on TV that will only make you more miserable, more inactive. Superior knowledge of a reality programme gets you nowhere near where you really want to be in your life, unless it’s your chosen subject on Mastermind.

If you get off your behind right now, get down the harbour, beach, mountain-anywhere that looks amazing, then i guarantee that 10 minutes later you feel better, you will feel more hopeful, you will wonder why you didn’t do it earlier, and why you waited to get going in the first place.

Most of the time we worry about wind in our faces, how cold and wet it is, how dark it is, so the time is right now to seize the moment and realise we have everything working on our side for a change.

Please don’t contemplate it, don’t discuss it too much, no need to have a meeting about whether you should do it or not, just take action right now and DO IT no questions asked!!!

They say wisdom comes with age, and we need to learn lessons from our senior members.

“If i knew then what i know now” is a statement many of us have made, and we hear this mostly off senior members because they have most experience of life.

All of those senior members have realised through personal experience that getting your health right is vital.

How about taking that advice right now?

The best advice i have ever had off people with more money than they would ever need, is that HEALTH comes first. Anyone who has experienced ill health would swap all that money for just being healthy and out of pain again, i have heard this so many times that it really hit home a long time ago.

Learning to act on great life-changing advice at the precise moment you hear it is a valuable habit, so you never forget it.

So you maybe 71, 51, or 21, but heeding this advice will literally change your life. Treating your body with care and attention is the number one thing you should do, and sets the foundation for everything you want to achieve.

When you are healthy, you have much more energy so you can do more things for yourself, and just as importantly for others. Getting healthy is the least selfish thing you can do, you will always be there for others, you will get much more done and you can contribute to society much more.

Don’t waste another day, don’t play games with your health, treat your body with respect and use your healthy body to take you anywhere you want to go, and to anything you want to achieve.

gymThis is a urgent message to those of you who struggle mentally with the struggles of life. There is more pressure now than ever before.

 

From what i have seen from you at the gym, it’s criminal that you aren’t leading something big in the world, because you all have great ability, all you have is a deep under confidence that you somehow can’t get big things done.

 

You have to realise that this causes others not to benefit from your gifts of leadership, getting things done and the ability to do things differently from anyone else.

 

All of you i’m talking about are deeply intelligent, thoughtful and talented in your chosen field. Some are talented but want to make a big impact in another field, but your self-doubt is holding you back. WHY NOT change to something you really want to do? If you want to do something you will enjoy, then you are likely to do an incredible job on it.

 

Here’s the news, we all go through self-doubt, can we do it or can’t we moments and chapters in our lives, but my message to you all is not to deny the world your gifts and ability, and the positive impact you can have in other people’s lives.

 

Don’t hold back one more moment, don’t tell yourself that you will have a day off, a week off, a month off anymore because you know it turn to much more than that.

 

Become the person who DOES, who makes the phone calls, who makes decisions and become the one who upsets the status quo, upsets the negative people who never believe in us, in order to create moments and new careers, moments of impact that change your own life and other people’s too.

 

This is a time, no THE time for you to lead and take control of your own destiny and use your true intelligence and physical capacity to drive your life to another level, and never settle for second best anymore!

We always talk about the mind side of what we do in the gym, and how valuable it is to get your mind clear, and strengthen it.

 

You cannot be successful long term with your health and fitness programme without trying to grow mentally along the way.

 

Unfortunately, many people say, i can’t exercise until i get my mind right. You may be waiting a very long time, because that moment can take a while to show up and we don’t often recognise it when it does.

 

Exercise helps strongly to get your mind clear, to get it stronger and finally get that long lost self-confidence back.

 

Don’t think you are a one off too if you are struggling mentally to adjust to getting fit. Being healthy takes many every day adjustments before it finally gets like second nature. You don’t do it in one session, a week, or a month, its a process of reinforcing every day positive habits until they stick.

 

Our kids go to school everyday to get fed positive lessons in educational terms and  in life.

 

When we leave school, lots of those lessons are forgotten, this is why we need to “re-programe” ourselves to perform better, and stick with our ever evolving plans to improve our health and indeed life in general.

 

Attempting to get fit and healthy in a positive, supportive environment is absolutely vital for your long term success.

 

Leaving someone on a treadmill, showing the operation of one or two machines, then forgetting about them is a disastrous way to start a gym, and one which ensures the member will never engage with a gym as they are never shown properly, and OFTEN enough for the idea of exercise to stick.

 

We are not machines or robots, we have to be prepared mentally for the fitness journey ahead, accept we are on a personal growth journey too, and react positively to the many challenges that come when we are trying to get fit and healthy.

 

This is why support from your gym is vital at all times to get you through the ups and downs that will surely come once the novelty wears off after the first couple of times.

 

Exercise and eating healthy not only sets you off not only on a physical improvement journey but one of feeling better mentally, and seeing life in a much more positive way.
