Wherever You Go, There You Are?

Where are you right now?

Are you happy?  Are you fulfilled?  Are you as healthy as you can be?

Take a few moments presently to reflect on where you are in your life right now.  Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and consider: where do you see yourself in 2015?  How about five years from now?  Ten years?  Twenty?

You’ve noticed the thoughts that came to mind when you ask yourself these important questions.  Living life as you are now, what is your future health status going to be?

You can do everything in your power right now to make that future a comfortable, even thriving one.  Even if you’ve tried before and think you’ve failed.  Even if you feel like it’s a lost cause and you’ll never get to where you want to be.

You owe it to yourself to try.  And try again.  And again.

Because eventually you’ll find the right solutions.  You’ll function better and better as time goes on.  You’ll wonder how you traveled this far.  You’ll find joy in the journey.

You’ll be the absolute best YOU that you can be.  That’s how I train my clients, because moving steadily in the right direction is better than sprinting in the wrong one.

Wherever you go, there you are.  It’s true.  I want you to deeply and completely accept yourself as you progress toward better health.

We have a vision.  You, in five, ten, twenty years and beyond, knowing you did everything you could and put in the effort that it takes to thrive in this modern world.

So let’s flip the title:

Wherever you go,

there you’ll be.

Keep going.

Many habit changes fail. Why?

Because it’s easy to bypass the most important, ONLY thing you need to know without a doubt, in order to be successful.

There’s a key to getting motivated and staying motivated enough to continually take action and make progress.

It’s this:

Why?

What is your why?  WHY do you need to change and want to change your health for the better?  What’s your reason, right now?

  • Staying healthy.
  • Feeling good.
  • Looking good.
  • Looking good naked.
  • Getting married.
  • Starting a family.
  • Being able to keep up with children and grandchildren.
  • Losing weight.
  • Keeping weight off.
  • Healing disease, or
  • Preventing disease altogether.
  • What’s your reason?

Find it and hold on to it.

Write it down, type it into your phone, look at it every day on your mirror, set it to pop up on your calendar. Imprint it into your mind and tell people about it if that helps you find the support you need.

Whatever it is for you, keeping your why in the forefront of your mind and heart will lead to your success.
