Eat Better

Posted on May 19, 2025

You may have never thought too much about what you are eating, how much you are eating or when you are eating. And unless you’ve had mouth, throat, stomach or bowel challenges, you may not have really considered what the food and drink you consume is doing to you.

Take this moment to reflect on these points. Consider if what you are eating is fuelling your body in the best possible way. Do certain foods not agree with you? Do they make you gassy, bloated or tired?

Just like you wouldn’t put diesel in a petrol car, consider whether what you are eating is right for your body.

In addition, the amount you put in your petrol tank is important. I’m guessing here, but I assume you have never over-filled your tank such that you had petrol all over the station forecourt. So I would suggest not filling your stomach more than its relaxed capacity.

I find it incredible how few calories one actually needs in today’s move-less society. We think we need three meals a day, probably with pudding for at least one of them. Yet we don’t. The 2,000 calories per day might have been more relevant in agrarian society but most people no longer need this level of daily fuel.

Assess what you eat and drink. Re-evaluate everything food related and make some slight changes from today. Your life will be better for it from today onwards.

Cuddle with your little children. Cuddle with your spouse. Cuddle with that special someone, anywhere in the house.

The act of cuddling brings warmth, love, closeness and intimate feelings. Cherish these moments. You’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Sacrifice For Your Ideal

Posted on May 7, 2025

Most people are only going to chase their dream up to the point where they are happy to sacrifice to attain it.

For most, if they have to sacrifice more than they are happy to, then they give up on their goal.

If it isn’t easy enough, most folks aren’t willing to put in more sacrifice to make it happen.

For example, you may want to lose 30 pounds but only if you don’t have to get more sleep, go to bed earlier, cut out most alcohol, evening meals/snacks, tasty foods and daily treats.

If that’s what you’ll have to do, many just go through the motions, don’t really track progress, make body type excuses and remain as heavy as they are.

They may try again later in the hopes they have developed better discipline or science has changed and they won’t have to make any of the above sacrifices to reach their goal.

Or they just go to the gym or to a personal trainer in hope that some activity 2-3x per week will make up for the excesses they won’t give up elsewhere.

This can go on for 3 years or even 20 years. It will continue until the desired outcomee or goal becomes more important than the sacrifices and true, consistent change required to make the goal or outcome become a reality.

So save yourself 20 years of not trying enough / trying and make the sacrifices required or realise your goal is a wish not must, and give up on it.

Get Different Results

Posted on April 21, 2025

If you want different results or outcomes, you will need to do things differently from before.

Are you even aware of what will need to be done differently?

Are you even willing to do the things differently, every day, even when you don’t want to?

Discipline. Sacrifice. Resilience.

You can live a better life if you choose to put the work in. Otherwise, expect more of what you’ve had.

If You’re Not Happy…

Posted on April 9, 2025

Look inside. If you’re not as happy as often or as much as you’d like to be, look inside yourself. The answer is usually within you, not in what someone else does or says.

Only you can create the mindset for happiness. You may have to do some work, some thinking or even change some thought patterns or habits. But it is you that needs to do the work. No one can do your push-ups and see the results in you.

Get started today.

Spend Quality Time

Posted on April 2, 2025

There is work and admin, volunteer service and every day life but you need to carve out some time for you alone and to be with others.

Don’t just kind of do it though. Remove the distractions, put down the phone, turn off the radio and have nothing on tv.

Spend quality time means you are focused on each other, not other things.

Keep Positive

Posted on March 26, 2025

Your mindset is the only thing you truly have that can’t be ruined if you stay strong.

It’s so ready to fall into a negative mindset, wallow there, and think everything is bad. It takes incredible strength to keep positive about your future when things aren’t going your way.

Yet, you can do it. Focus on the amazing 90% and not the dreary 10%. You’ll be happier. Your friends will be happier. You’ll attract happier people into your life.
