My entire life i have had the tendancy to try and run before I can walk, i fly into everything 100 miles an hour, never really stopping to analyze what i'm doing, and when i do i over-analyze everything, i barely pay attention to very many things....it's always been all or nothing, and to be totally honest most of my successes feel like a fluke, i've just gone along winging it through everything! until now....
anyway, my own personal journey with making permanent lifestyle changes has been a long slog, i know it is for most people however i feel as if i've held myself back for too long! So what did i do?? I decided to get pro-active.... realising that the hope of suddenly waking up one day and everything just being right was nothing more than a rediculous dream i realised that i had to make it happen!
So, that's what i'm doing one little step at a time....in short....im starting off in a crawl...
I read once that in order to build anything solid you must first have a strong solid foundation... ahh there was my problem, i'd never stopped to try and build my foundation, i went off half assed on EVERYTHING....! no wonder none of my resolves ever eventuated... i'd never built the foundation to grow from!
So that's what i'm doing.... day by day, little by little, and you know the old saying goes " a little bit of extra effort every day leads to a huge result at the end of the day" hmm well i dont know if that's exactly how it goes, but you get my drift eh!
To say i've accomplished nothing is a lie, i'm now a much better cook then i was a few years ago, i certainly know a hell of a lot more about my body, am much more aware about food and what's in it, am SO prepared with my nutrition and i have now learned how to goal set... well, hmm kinda anyway, am still working on perfecting the technique, but getting closer!
I've set my goals, they've given me back the fire in my belly - i have the 'hot chick' cut out that i aspire to be like and all the positive things you can have all over my little van.... poor dan, it's like a shrine to the fit and the healthy.... bless them lol
i realised that far from trying to be fit for vanity i was missing the essential point.... being fit and healthy improves my life, it improves me... so i have to build that up a long with getting my act together on a daily basis, believing in what i say and listening to my inner wisdom. As Zig Ziglar says "motivation doesn't just happen, first you need to take action, then that will give you the motivation you need, which will inturn create energy....but you first have to start"
So, if anyone is struggling and would like some motivating stuff to give them the kick up the backside they need, or even just to perfect perfection or even just for the hell of it, i have found the following resources LIFE SAVING!:
Paul McKenna - Change Your Life In 7 days
Tony Robbins - The Giant Within and his Get the Edge and Powertalk Programs
Zig Ziglar- Goals setting CD -OMG this is good!
Ok, so now i'm off to do some abs...OMG...too exciting, i don't feel like it but i'm not going to bed until they're done!!!
