When to Double Down on Your Health and Fitness

Share

Why You Must Double Down on Your Health and Fitness!

I was taking to a good friend just a few minutes ago about the times when we feel like taking it easy or the times we feel like taking a break. And that reminded me of when I used to do bodyweight exercises all the time because with bodyweight exercise especially, as with all exercises and truly all areas of life, you can workout every day, doing the same exercise, if you want too. The trick is, you adjust your intensity every day. Someone who runs can run every single day. There are days when it makes sense to run harder, to push yourself more and there are days when it makes sense to be easier and have a relaxed, healing kind of a run.

Same thing with working out. There are times when you can blitz the bodypart(s) you’re working and there are times when you can take it easier. I worked legs really hard and have jelly-legs as I record this video. The weak feeling that anyone who works out really hard knows, when you have to grip the handrail for dear life when walking down stairs to keep from falling.

When you feel like taking a break, it's time to double sown on your health and fitness!

After that workout I decided to go have some nature time. I’m out here enjoying this gorgeous scene and I was talking to my friend on the phone and we were talking about how sometimes people say they want to take it easy. Coaching clients will say, “I just need to take a break.”

That’s When You’ve Got to Double Down!

When you feel like you need to take a break, that’s when you’ve got to double down because pushing through the resistance, that’s what’s going to help you bust out to the next level!

Pushing through those times where you’re thinking, “I just really don’t feel like it.” Or, “I don’t want to do it.” Or whatever other excuse your mind throws out at you… Those are the times you’ve got to completely and totally double down on it! Get your butt going where you need to go! Get yourself doing what you need to do! Find a way to push through it!

And pushing through it can be taking it easy in the sense that you are working out more gently than you would otherwise but you’re still there! You’re still showing up!

Showing Up Makes a Massive Difference!

Showing up makes a massive difference because showing up tells your unconscious mind how important it is for you to do what you’re doing!

When you show up on the days when you feel like skipping or during the months that maybe you feel like skipping, when you show up now, more and more during those times, you’re programming your grey matter that that’s a non-negotiable. That you are going to go and do the work. That you’re going to put yourself in the situation. That you’re going to grow your way through it.

The people who are on the fitness yo-yo; those who go until they reach the edge of their comfort zone and then they stop exercising until they reach the bottom of their comfort zone—when they are fed up with their lack of fitness—and then they start getting in shape again… And on and on and on they go, bouncing within the walls of their comfort zone. They are always in that narrow window of growth.

To break through that window, to break through to the other side, to get the true success and the long-term health and fitness, you have got to push yourself to show up on the times when you feel like you want to take a break! Even showing up in a way that’s gentle on your body is still showing up.

Sometimes you just have to remember that doing something smaller is way more important than skipping. If it’s a scheduled day, if it’s a planned day, if you have a workout that you’re supposed to be doing, regardless of the type of workout, if it’s your day to workout and you feel like taking a break… I strongly suggest that you SHOW UP ANYWAY!

We Are Each 100% Accountable For our Reality

Share

We Are Each 100% Accountable for Our Perception of Reality

We are each 100% responsible for our experience of reality. Now, what does that mean?

We all have events happen to us in our lives. There are things that happen, these things may seem completely out of our control. Maybe these things happen because of someone else’s choices and actions. Maybe the things happen because of our choices and actions… Regardless of what happens or who’s “Responsible” for what happens, we get to choose the meaning we give the event. And the meaning we give events, is what creates the power of the events in our lives. The power of the events in our lives is what creates our reality.

The way we think about, feel about, and relate with the events that have happened in our lives is what shapes how we feel about, relate with, and react to events that happen in our future.

So if any of us are unhappy with the current state of our lives and the current state of reality as we know it, then the first place to start is asking ourselves, “What meaning do I routinely give events that are happening in my life? Do I give positive empowering meanings..? Or, do I look for thorns in the rosebush?”

I’m challenging you today to start looking for the roses. Start looking for the flowers and ignoring the weeds. Start finding the roses and realizing that the thorns… They may be there. But you still get to choose where you look!

2 Ways To Immediately Apply This In Your Life:

  1. Start by asking yourself questions that seek solutions instead of questions that misplace your power of personal accountability.
  2. Create the habit of looking for the positive in every situation.

Always Remember;

You Are the Master of Your Destiny!

What Sings to Your Soul?

What Sings to Your Soul?

What sings to your soul?

Do you know the gift God gave you to share with the world? It might be the ability to lift some-one’s day when they’re down. Perhaps it’s creating music that touches people deep in their hearts or penning words that mend hearts and create bridges of healing over pain…

Whatever it is, when you find it, nurture it, believe in it, and share it. Things we hoard never produce joy. But the smallest planted seed can, in time, produce a forest or a meadow full of flowers.

Share your gifts. In sharing you grow.

I used to think life was about the destination. I hurried to get where I thought I must be. Living that way wasn’t living. The days blurred past with no meaning.
I’m no longer in a hurry to reach tomorrow.

Yes, there are things I’d love to change about today, but I live each day as it comes. I experience each day. The days of my life are no longer merely stepping stones to the future, they are life! The point of any journey is who we become and what we learn while traveling it.

Infinite possibility lies before us.

I believe in you!

Excerpt From The Pi of Life

What Does it Mean?

When you discover the things that sing to your soul, you’ve discovered the keys to your purpose, your path. The things that fill you with joy, that you’d do just because you love them, are your gifts. Explore them and ask how you can use them to help others. Doing this ignites creativity and passion in ways that will astound you.

The gifts we’re given aren’t meant for hoarding. They are meant to be shared, to help others, and to make the world a better place.

As you approach this moment, this gift of time, make the choice to share your gifts. Not all will appreciate them. Not all will care. Some might even call you crazy.

So What? Do what you do from a place of love and ignore those who don’t understand.

I challenge you today to start using your gifts to help others. If you don’t know what your gifts are then you can download my Discover Your Passion worksheet, figure out what they are, and then start using them!

You Are The Master of Your Destiny!

Never Argue for Your Weakness

Share

I Will Persist! I Will Succeed!

You Should Never Argue for Your Weakness

Has someone ever told you about a weakness they have, something they can’t do, or problems they’re having, and then they go on to explain all the reasons they either can’t change these things or have no control over them?

Have you ever done this yourself?

It’s something I call arguing for your weakness. It’s an unhealthy habit and quickly sabotages your success.

Why?

When a person starts telling others why they can’t do something, change something, or why they have no control over a situation, they’re coming from a place of victimhood. They’re focusing on and reinforcing the negative aspects of situations and life. They’re also forgetting that no matter what, they always have control of the meaning they give an event. And worse, they’re nearly guaranteeing that things will never change for them—at least in that area of their life.

Understand that we all have something about ourselves that we’d like to change or something about our lives that we’d like to change. It might be something big, something that would dramatically improve our lives—if we just made the shift. It might be a little thing that no one but us would really notice. But it’s there. And we know it.

We can approach these a few ways. When we look at these things, we can choose to see the parts that upset us. Or we can listen to the lessons, the things we can learn from the situation. We can also understand the inherent good and seek understanding of that.

What Can You Do?

The next time you discover yourself telling someone—or yourself—all the reasons you can’t do something, why something you dislike is “Just the way it is”, or why you have no control over any situation… STOP IT!

Stop Complaining!

 You Always Have Control Over the Meaning You Give Events.

You Always Have a Choice How You Respond.

It’s Your Life.

You Choose Your Path.

Get out there and Master Your Destiny!
