It is human nature to try to find the easy way to do something. It really is. Humans are lazy creatures by default. It is simply easier to do nothing than to do something. But people know they should do something. Many times in order to do this something, people attempt to find something easy to do.
“So what do you do for a living?”
“I work in the health and wellness field”.
“So are you like a personal trainer?”
“No, I am more into a holistic approach to health”.
“So you do acupuncture and stuff?”
Too many people, fitness professionals especially, put a short term emphasis on health and wellness. Even when you look at the fitness industry as a whole, most focus on short term fixes rather than life long changes. A new 90 day fitness program. A new 6 week diet. They are great ways to get started, but most people fall into the “whats next” conundrum and have no idea where to go after the initial time frame. This causes most people to go right back to where they started, only to jump into another diet or workout program that will only yield the same results. This creates the yo-yo effect that sadly too many people go through when it comes to their health.
Resolutions are the biggest waste of time. I HATE seeing people trying to make resolutions only to see them fail.
If I were to ask you what your favorite part of your day was, how many of you would saying waking up in the morning? I would think very few of you actually here your alarm go off and jump out of bed, ready to take on the day full speed ahead. Morning just isn’t people’s strong point. Most people slam their alarm snooze button, roll out of bed, drag themselves through their morning routine, then chug off to the 9-5. And people wonder why they have bad days when their morning starts like this. If you can develop a morning routine that is positive, and you can get excited to wake up, you will see a drastic change in every aspect of your life. Your morning needs to be the most important part of your day.
I wrote a post about strength training for women awhile back and it has been one of my most read post on this blog (over 5,ooo views in 3 months! Thank you all for reading it). In that post, I basically called out women to stop being afraid of weight lifting and start getting after it. Today, I want to cover the same topic, but address to ALL of you reading this.
Yes – this post is about cars. Your car in particular. I am curious how you take care of your car.
Cars are a critical part of society. They get people from point A to point B. And that is important quest to do. Most people usually spend quite a bit on cars. With such a hefty price tag, most people do quite a bit to take care of their cars.
Honesty is a funny thing. Everyone swears they are honest individuals, but I have met very few people that are truly honest.
Now, when I saw honest, I am not talking about telling the truth. Although that is a big part of it, that isn’t what I am getting at. Being honest is not making excuses. It is finding a reason why you can make something happen, vs why not. It is living your life with no regrets, no excuses, and no limitations.
I have this certain mindset that I get at various times throughout my life. I call it “vacation mode” even though I fall into it even when I am not on vacation. I call it vacation mode because it is how I get when I go on vacations. You probably have been in vacation mode too. You are stuck in that moment where nothing else matters. You aren’t thinking about anything else. You lose all track of time. Nothing else matters except whatever you are doing.
