You can want to quit smoking, stop drinking, lose weight, eat healthy, be slim, get straight A’s, and make millions. But wanting isn’t doing. And without doing the hard work, with discipline and sacrifice, you are very unlikely to get the results you want. Stop wanting it so badly. Start doing it so badly. As if your life depended on it. Commit! No more reasons, excuses or alibis. Learning this lesson well will let you change your life.
I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of tabs open, unread emails, text messages requiring my attention and WhatsApp groups that I’ve not been active in for a year.
Between now and the end of August, I’m going to tidy this all up again. Unsubscribe to emails, leave WhatsApp groups, delete emails, and close all tabs in safari and chrome. Spare time will be spent pruning.
When we test or measure something, we must know why we are doing it. We also must know what other factors could be skewing or influencing the result.
Then we must assess the end we are achieving versus the end we may want to be achieving.
Think about this with respect to money, fitness, health and relationships.
It’s very good for you. You can also see so much of your local area. And you can see things in better detail than you can from a moving bike or car.
We did nearly 11.000 steps, to and through Richmond Park this morning. Lovely. Felt so good.
You can sell a story, give a reason, or five, and even create an elaborate excuse. It may distract some folks, and waste both of your time, but it doesn’t change the result you had. Results don’t lie.
Let yourself dream about who you are or could become. Imagine your life, body, relationships, finances, holidays, home and pass times exactly how you would dream to have them in the perfect world.
Let your fears and concerns of it not working out simply subside. Summon the feeling you would have if your dreams all turned out true forever. Now use that amazing feeling of relaxation, contentment and confidence to remind you every moment of every day how your life is becoming.
Believe you will get there. Then simply act accordingly.
If you see yourself as an athletic, fit and healthy person, do what one of those people would do. They would probably be disciplined with their food intake (types and amounts), their daily exercise, the amount of water they drink and how much sleep they schedule into their life.
You can be the opposite too. Just do what unathletic, unfit and unhealthy people do. You can achieve this too. Simply build habits and be disciplined around eating poor quality food, and just a little bit more than you should each time. Sit more and move less. Drink small amounts of water and have an erratic and poorly executed sleep regime. You can become as unfit and uninspired as you want to be. It’s success but in a different direction.
Do the above exercise with your money, your relationships and your career and notice how different your life could be in just six months. It would be a world of difference in one little year. And then it could be like that for the next 20 or 50 years of your life.
Gee, why wouldn’t you start working on this today? Right now! Your new amazing life awaits! It’s just one little mindset shift away. Start accepting this new amazing life in your mind every day. And act accordingly.
Injuries happen. Physical, emotional and even spiritual. Be sure to allow ample time to heal. Life is long enough so don’t short-change yourself on the healing process. Otherwise, you may not heal sufficiently and have to go thorough a very similar thing again.
Learn and apply your knowledge. Get to full strength before setting off again.
Eight glasses per day. Sometimes a little more and occasionally a little less. But it is a super drug. Hydrates, cleanses, lowers blood sugar, gives energy and helps with blood pressure. Try it. It works.
Water is like a miracle drug. It hydrates you so you have the right blood pressure as well as removes toxins. It can lower your blood glucose. It also helps to reduce constipation and keep your skin and internal organs healthy.
It’s also a great tool to help you lose weight or maintain your ideal weight.
However, if you neglect it, after 4 days without water, most people expire.
So treat it with the respect it deserves. Drink up!!
Good advice that I once heard. Drink water. Not pop or sugary drinks. Even alcohol will add to your calorie intake.
So be mindful of the wet you put in your mouth. Because the more of that, the less of the great food you can eat and still stay your slim and fit self.
