Motivated...

So another week is about to begin...and you have 2 choices.

You can either get sucked into that soul destroying mind fart that signals the end of the weekend, the end of your great weekend away from work and all the day to day drudgery that is about to begin.

Or,

You could use it as the start of something new, something that changes the way you see the world and how it sees you. If you aren't happy at what life is throwing your way, pick it up, throw it back and decide what you want.

It doesn't have to be a grand, sweeping change to every aspect of your world and the parts that piss you off, but change something. Start small, let it snowball. Its addictive!

You dont like your job? Well, what would you like to do? Think about what you really want to do, then take some time to find out what you need to do to get there. Talk to the people doing what you are interested in, how did they get there? What is needed to do what they do?

You want to get fitter, change your shape? Go to the gym, look at the people you want to look like, learn what is needed and go to work! Hire a trainer, even if its to get you started on your way, they know what they are talking about (mostly...) and do what they ask of you.

Want to learn something new? Find out what classes are available, research what books are the best, look for blogs, articles and whatever else is necessary to take the steps towards where you want to be.

The information you need, and the people you will need to talk to, for whatever you want to do is out in the world already. The internet isn't just for porn anymore, everything you need to know can be found, if, you take the time to look and know what you are looking for.

The point I'm trying (fairly uneloquently, I'm a personal trainer after all, not a writer, although it is something I want to improve at!), is that you have the ability to change your world and take control of it. You just need to decide to do it.

So, go and think about what you want, set your goals, then break those big goals into smaller ones. Then break those down into even smaller ones. Then pick one, any one, and get it done.  Feels good right?

Keep on ticking off all those little goals, one at a time, take all the time you need to accomplish them but no more time than you need. That will lead into all sorts of delay tactics to get out of doing what is necessary! Before you know it, you are ticking off the big goals and you have made change happen!


Now, I am not saying its gonna be easy, god knows its isn't (from experience I know it can be tough, it takes you right out of your comfort zone and you have got to be consistent) but it sure as hell is worth it!

So go away, write down those goals, put them somewhere you will see them every single day. Tell your nearest and dearest about them, make them hold you accountable for achieving your goals. And go change your world.

I have every faith in you.

Stay healthy.
