What do you love enough to change for? This is a question asked by Paul Chek in a recent episode of his podcast with JP Sears.If you’re struggling to free yourself from habits, destructive behaviours, lose weight or just maintain a healthier lifestyle, try asking it of yourself.What is the answer? Is if yourself? Is it your partner? Is it your parents? Is it your kids, grandkids or your desire to have kids of your own? Is it your friends? Is it your art? Is it your passion? Is it your career? Is it your very freedom?Whatever it is, think about how the behaviour you’re trying to change might impact that. Are your lifestyle choices such as food, drinking, exercise, drugs (pharmaceuticals and the other kind), smoking, technology, the things you read/watch/listen to, not doing anything to manage stress, depression, anxiety… could these factors be negatively affecting what you love? Could they be affecting your health and in fact the length of your life? Could they be ruining your relationships and hurting those you love? Are they impacting your quality of life and time spent with others? Are they ruining the way you talk or act toward yourself and keeping you stuck in a negative rut?This simple question may help to give you some greater awareness and control over your actions/reactions, thoughts/responses and the things you expose yourself to daily. We often make things so much harder than they need to be, when the answers are quite simple. Go with what you love!
Making Change
Be brave.Heading back into the gym this week may seem a little daunting.You may not look the same physically as you used to.You may not feel the same mentally as you used to.You may not move as well as you used to.Be humble.You may not be able to lift as much as you used to.Or push as hard. Be better.It’s better to start now while the safety measures are strict and the gyms are capped so they’re quiet. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll reap the benefits.Have patience, leave your expectations at the door and enjoy training again in the open space with equipment you may not have used in months.Work on establishing those healthy routines and habits once more. Consistency is the key to making long term change. Above all be proud of yourself, it’s been a tough year and you are doing this for you. Don’t forget that and let your fears and anxieties stop you from working on the new improved you!#bebrave #behumble #bebetter #workout #gym #fitness #health #selfimprovement #strong #justlift #train #work #strength #selfcare #selfesteem #mentalhealth #prestonpt #southmelbournept #melbournept #wereback #strongerthanyouthink
