It is a lot easier to stay in shape, small efforts every day, then to get back in shape, with significant physical and mental efforts for a consistent and prolonged period of time.
Create the habit of winning every day. Be mindful of your food, drink and exercise / activity.
It’s the best way to stay confident and pleased with, or proud of, your shape.
How does your story end?
If you could play a video of the summary of your last five years on Earth, would you watch it? What if it only showed how you died? Would you like to know?
How would that change your perspective? Might your life be different after seeing it?
Might you be able to guess how it might go given your current demeanour, fitness, activity and consumption? Could you give it a pretty good guess? Might you consider, or decide, to change a few things pronto?!
It might be a great idea.
Smile. Chin up. Be positive. Do your best.
Keep shining.
Drink lots of water every day.
Drink a glass as soon as you wake up to wash out the digested and to hydrate from 6-9 hours sleeping.
Stop drinking at 7pm. That way you won’t wake up as much at night, or at all !
How much is enough? One car? 10? An all you can eat salad bar, sounds great, but is it more than enough?
How much is enough for you? Regarding anything. Stop and assess this now.
Complain less. Keep your mind focused on what amazing would look like. What do you want? Not what you will settle for.
This is hard for most people. People know what they don’t want or what they are fine with. But it often takes some serious inner work to figure out what you truly want. Not what you’re supposed to want, but really, actually want.
Stop complaining and focusing on past grievances. Bygones.
Keep your mind focused on the future and the amazing components of your amazing life. You get what you think about most of the time.
Think slim. Think wealthy. Think kindness.
There are lots of great things to think about. Think about those things and those things exclusively.
Don’t let yourself off easy. Push yourself to reach your stated goals. Get up an hour earlier. Say no to the night of fun and stay in and plan your week and save your money.
Do the right thing. Not the most pleasurable immediate thing. Pleasure doesn’t mean you’ll be happy. And often pleasure comes with some corresponding pain – drinking with hangover, speeding with ticket, entertainment with loss of purpose.
Make yourself the best person you could imagine. Push yourself past the pain, the sacrifice, the complaining and the challenges. Become Unstoppable.
You need to assess the brutal facts of reality or you’ll find yourself stuck in Groundhog Day for years.
Be honest with yourself. Be fair with yourself too. If you are super tough on yourself, you will not feel very good about it. You are not trying to destroy yourself or your self confidence. But you need to be objective, realistic and fair in order to properly assess things. Only once you know where you are, can you draw the map to where you want to get to.
