I was actually reminded of this earlier this week.
I was driving on the M25 and was debating whether I needed a quick toilet break
And / or…
A Starbucks (Americano with a dollop of cream. Only if you ask nicely. Expect a weird look from the Barista, too).
I was only 30 miles from where I needed to be and the traffic was clear (pretty rare for the M25)
BUT
I decided to stop.
Have a break (not a KitKat)
Just a wee and a Starbucks AKA ‘the usual’
Anyway, I get back on the M25
I see flashing lights
‘Lane Closure’ Warnings
“Accident’
“Queues ahead”
And my initial reaction?
^^^ Note the word ‘reaction’
“Why the F did I stop off?”
Stand still traffic
I look around and see glum faces
It’s ‘hands on head’ time
and then I stop and think about it:
If I wouldn’t have stopped, I could have actually been in the accident. Who knows?
My point is this:
When you’re having one of this weeks
You know, where EVERYTHING seems to be going wrong
You can’t be bothered to exercise
You just want your glass of prosecco and cake
You’re low on energy
And everything is just ‘a bit bleurgh’
^^^ Like me a few weeks ago, in fact.
You feel like you just want to quit.
Because everything SEEMS to be against you.
^^^ So you think, anyway.
And often, you do end up quitting.
Myself included, actually.
Until fairly recently, anyway.
Since I’ve been practicing something I learned off of one of my own coaches.
It’s so obvious that you just ignore it.
And I bet you ignore it again today even after I tell you about it now.
You ready?
Here it is:
It’s the simple process of recording and tracking 5 WINS every, single day.
Now, if you delve into my Fit For Life Body Transformation programme
you’ll know that we build on this and do – at least – weekly reflection and accountability results
But, for now, get your notepad
Put it next to your bed
And everyday…
I want you to write down 5 wins from the day before
I guarantee that your confidence will go through the roof
and realise just how far you’ve come already
To overcome your fears and stop procrastinating…
Just like we do in the my Fit For Life Body Transformation Programme.
Speak soon,
Matt
