Admit it.
You have a routine for most things in your life.
You probably drive or walk the same way to work each morning.
Your breakfast is the same 80% of the time.
You shop in the same few places for your groceries and your clothes.
There’s nothing wrong with having a routine…as long as it serves you.
Your lifestyle is the sum of all the decisions you make every day.
It’s a bunch of habits that you’ve built up over time.
If those routines are helping you progress toward your goals…great!
Otherwise it’s time to make a change.
Change Is Hard!
We get stuck in a groove and keep repeating the same actions.
And mainly it’s tied to the stories we tell ourselves.
Until you change that story, you won’t make progress in your life.
Are you telling yourself that you’re too old to get in shape?
Do you tell yourself that taking care of your kids is more important than making time for yourself?
Do you believe that you’re not as motivated as other people, or that you don’t have the energy left (after taking care or your career, family, etc.) to go to the gym or prepare balanced meals?
If you don’t change your thinking, you won’t break out of those negative routines and get on the path that leads to your goals.
You won’t make progress until you change the stories you tell yourself about WHY you can’t make a difference to your body or your health.
Deep-down, are you blaming your genetics, your upbringing, your career, or your family responsibilities for why you can’t succeed?
All of those excuses are total BS.
For every excuse you can throw out there, there’s a person who’s overcoming that challenge because they have a different attitude.
New mom?
I’ve worked with women who got in better shape than ever after having kids, even with the challenges of round-the-clock feedings and minimal “personal time”.
Four kids?
Yup, I know some people successfully kicking butt as parents, while taking care of their own health.
Busy career with regular travel?
If you learn how to eat on the go and do efficient workouts, your job won’t hold you back.
When you see yourself as a fit, healthy, motivated person you’re more likely to behave that way.
And how you view yourself is something that you can take control of.
It’s not necessary to get all psychoanalytical and try to figure out what episode in your past made you feel like you aren’t good enough.
You don’t need to examine whether your parents were the right role models for the lifestyle you want now.
All you need to do is tell yourself a better story.
A story that says, “I’m committed and I can do this.”
Or “I’m smart and capable and I can succeed.”
You can even go as far as, “I’m a fit person who takes care of herself/himself.”
