"Life is all about choices. Whatever we choose, we look like, feel like, and live like. Choose to move more, nourish yourself with whole foods, and chill out to de-stress. Every moment, we alter our destiny by making better choices."
OK, it’s time for the wake-up call.
Stand up and hop out of that food and couch coma and look into the mirror. Not just the glass on the wall, but the one in your mind as well. Where have you been? It’s the right time to make a change. Let’s ditch this mindless way of living and choose to really live life to the fullest. Dump the baggy hide-it clothes and celebrate new found fitness and energy.
But wait. I know what you’re thinking. “I’ve been down this road before.” And then within a few weeks or months, your good intentions are circling the drain. Staying focused is the key to sustaining the momentum to keep the healthy living plan going. Remember how I asked you to look in your mind’s mirror along with the long glass in your bedroom?
It’s a mind-body thing. That means to start you need to get your head straight about why you want to do this. Yea, the cool clothes are a great motivator. But go deeper. You can’t wear the clothes if you’re not here. Being here, and enjoying the experience, is where it’s at. Don’t worry. We going to be teaching you how to navigate those inevitable stress speed bumps, and keep you on track.
As a first step, write down no more than five reasons why you want to change, listing the by priority. Study them and make sure these are powerful enough to combat the tendency to self destruct. If they are, your head’s in gear for change. If not, keep working it until you do find the focus.
Be patient. You’ll get there.
