A Healthier, Happier You?

I was having a conversation with a friend on the weekend about how often people don’t know what they want if they are asked. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? What do you want?

Most of us will answer these questions by saying the things that we think are possible for us, we answer them with the limits that we currently have on ourselves…to change these limits we have on ourselves takes time and commitment (sometimes even working with a “professional” ) But it got me thinking…is there a way we can do this that is easier and that opens our boundaries slowly over time if we are willing and patient enough. Ultimately we need to put in the work to get to where we want to be, but then where is that? And if we know where we want to go does it then maybe not feel so much like work but a purpose?

We all come from a different place, from different walks of life, but we still have control of what happens to us from this moment forward…

- Become a self observer (if you want to lose weight and you have a subconscious program that reels through your mind saying “I am fat”, then you need to change that to “I am deserving of a healthy lean body”)

- Joy, fill your life with more of it every day. Pet a cute cat or dog for goodness sake, give a big loving hug to your partner or child, anything!

- Success, do what you do because you want success for yourself not because you think that if you don’t do it you’ll be a failure. Success is not about having more than others or being better than others, success is you achieving what you set out for yourself to do, it’s you working towards bettering and improving yourself (something we will do for the rest of our lives).

TODAY forward start creating the movie of your life that you want to see lived and live it. So on the day you go and have to look down on yourself you can say “I did my best and what a ride!”

And speaking of great achievements…

 

Ironman New Zealand, Lake Taupo

Peter White had a personal best at Ironman New Zealand this weekend. Peter has been training regularly at the studio for the past 9 months and is under the coaching of John Newsom. This is his only second Ironman event and he completed it in a snappy 11hrs and 20mins. Way to go Peter!

Happy training everyone!
