Good morning on a terribly wet morning!!!
Today, I take FULL responsibility for your progress as as long as you do a couple of things.
Show up 3 times a week, like you said when you started.
There are many commitments you have during the day I know, but apart from family and kids, which ONE is more important than your health? ANOTHER needless meeting after work? Which one is more important that you can’t show up for half hour even? We can get a LOT out of you 3 times a week.
Try eating a little better. Accept your eating and drinking habits have to change gradually if you want true success AND have the energy to power you through ever increasing workouts. Accept you ARE what you eat. I take FULL responsibility if you just make a small effort every week to get better in this regard.
I take FULL responsibility if you surround yourself with more people who will encourage you. Having negative influences around you will always hold you back, not let you reach your huge potential and be like a “good cop, bad cop” influence in your life telling you to do good and bad things for your health.
Good people in your life will be thrilled by your constant progress.
I take FULL responsibility if you stop calling in your favourite shop/petrol station to get wine/beer most nights on the way home. Alcohol stops your fat-burning by a third, and means you will be swimming against the tide and making life terribly hard for yourself, and adding to anxiety levels.
I will take FULL responsibility if you want to smash your stress levels into small little pieces. Show up and give more time to the punch bag, more time outside on the tyres and ladders, more time to the air assault bike, and aim to lift more and more each week, this is guaranteed to help with your head and what goes on within it.
I am here accepting FULL responsibility and you have to take some ownership too. FULL responsibility to call me on 07968 980 808 anytime and work it out for you.
I believe in you.
P.S. IT’S SUNNY this afternoon, every storm passes, and every storm in your head passes too if you take some action to get rid of it.

Thursday, 3rd August-If someone says “you can’t do it……?”
Wednesday, 2nd August
Ever been told you can’t? Rewind back to 10 years of age and the teacher asks you what you want to be when you grow up. I remember it well.
Some kids said they wanted to be a train driver, some a nurse, some a doctor, some a police officer, but this was when you SPOKE in front of everyone..
When you had to do homework on it, submit it privately to the teacher when NOBODY saw it, it turns out the dreams got a whole lot bigger. In front of class, i wanted to somehow be a vet, even though i wasn’t amazing picking up animals but it “sounded passable” in front of others just “fit in”.
In my private essay, i wanted to be an astronaut! Way more adventurous but that’s what it was. I’m betting many of the other kids give their TRUE thoughts on paper when nobody was looking too!
I may not have been a spaceman but you get the picture. As we get older, the constraints on our thoughts become even greater. The greater ambition we show, the more our friends laugh, and even some teachers discourage us, and try to get us to do things “normal” or within “our ability levels” often to fit in.
I strongly encourage you to stick to that piece of paper when nobody is looking, nobody is going to see it and put you off. That piece of paper may look different 20 years later but keep writing it, refining it until you get where you really want. In fact, write a new one right now if you haven’t before, with your life’s ambitions pouring out of you.
You have to be realistic, you have find the way to get there and there is ALWAYS a path, because someone has always done it before. One thing though, your journey will always be DIFFERENT to theirs, because you are an individual completely different to anyone else.
Don’t make the mistake of trying to be like anyone else, your true success lies in who you are, what individuals qualities you bring to the job/hobby/sport you choose.
We spend each and every day persuading individuals they can indeed reach their dreams, they can do great things but most of all do the things that they wrote on that “magic piece of paper”. I urge you never to give up on it.
