I really don’t know who goes out of their way to study this stuff…
..Or if it really is a fact or not.
But it does make sense to me.
So…
Do you know what the most powerful word in the English language is?
According to Mr Google…
It’s BECAUSE.
Now whether you agree or you simply don’t care, I kinda get it.
Imagine if I said this to you…
“You need to exercise more”
I bet you didn’t like that, right?
Or…
“You need to exercise more, BECAUSE you’ll feel better, you’ll have more energy and it‘ll make you more productive at work and around your wife and kids”
Now…
Those two sentences are pretty much the same thing really.
But with the use of the word BECAUSE it completely changed the response of the sentence.
The first one was me dictating!!
And quite honestly, who wants to be told what to do?
I don’t and I bet you don’t either.
It’s proven that we don’t.
Even if you THINK you need to be told what to do.
It breaks down at some point.
The second sentence was simply a power of influence.
It would have made you think consciously, removing you away from that THING of exercise, helping you forward think to the benefits you’d experience and those feelings created with the people close to you.
Ultimately it leads you more towards making YOUR own choices.
Re-gaining that balance and control back in your life.
And when we have that, the things that we set out to do are more likely going to be achieved.
Not just in the short term but for THAT longer lasting transformation you probably desire.
This approach changes things drastically – for the better.
You see we take actions upon how we feel about something.
Our feelings change our thoughts and our thoughts change our actions.
So if you ever get stuck as to what you think about something, ask yourself this…
“How do you feel about it?”
Let’s take ‘exercise’ for example…
Most people know they need to move more, we’ve been told this enough and at some point you did agree.
So it’s cemented in the back of your mind.
But for whatever reason, you’re not doing it.
And for those who are already doing it, they probably already enjoy it, right?
We’ll leave them be for now.
But those who have this feeling of un-loveing and loathing from exercise will be the ones who will avoid it.
- They’ll have an excuse.
- They are too busy.
- They work too late.
- They have kids to feed.
- They cannot afford a gym membership.
- Their knee hurts.
- They are scared of exercise.
- They don’t know what to do.
Now as much as these can be good REASONS.
It’s often not really the truth, is it?
If you catch yourself saying any of these common phrases throughout your day.
Ask yourself…
“Is that the truth?”
“What else could it be?”
Because the TRUTH is we all have the same amount of time in the day.
It’s just how we PRIORITIZE that time.
Be HONEST and the truth will set you free.
And the TRUTH again is that people don’t need to work out for an hour a day.
Who ever said it had to be that?
15 minutes is better than a big zero, right?
Whatever it is that you intentionally set out to do…
..You ENJOY it!!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it 10 million times again… because it’s my BELIEF.
If you enjoy something then you won’t stop doing it. If you do, it will only be temporary.
It works!!
Anyway before I digress…
You see it might not be your fault that you have all these responsibilities and things to do each day.
Things that get in the way of looking after yourself.
But if it affects your health then this is now your problem.
YOURS!
And quite often or not, when things start to become a problem, they really spiral into a BIG problem.
Unless you ACT.
Take those now on my 12 week Health-formation Project.

Oh and fitting into that tighter clothing – but that’s just a bonus 🙂
The process is made up of simple habits that doesn’t actually take MORE time.
They actually give you BACK time.

More time to spend being active and having fun with loved ones.
But it starts with a CHOICE.
The beauty of this world is that wherever you are and whatever has happened…
We still have a CHOICE.
A CHOICE to change.
It’s never too late.
The PAST is called the PAST for a reason.
BIN it!!
BECAUSE… Right here, right now is the PRESENT.
