Why it is so hard to get started
I get it
Anything new
Is bloody hard work..
The fear
Lack of confidence
Disbelief you can do it.
I can’t say how many times I have experienced this:
Job interviews
Public speaking (wow, you would never believe what I was like….red in face and shaking was an understatement)
Setting up Fruci Fit Ladies only Fit For Life programme (I remember my first ever session which was FREE, and one person turned up…Cassie>> read her story HERE by the way …
But you know what?
With all of the above…
They were never as bad as what I thought..
And I had to just get through the fear of doing it to make it REWARDING..
You have probably been through similar,
Be it bringing up kids
Work
Family life…
Even health and fitness.
Thing is though
When we are in this ‘fear’ stage of change.
We look for reasons why we CANNOT do it.
“I’m too old”
“I don’t have time”
“I’m too lazy”
Thing is, we label ourselves with these word..
And our brain will look for evidence of these.
Because our brain loves to be RIGHT…
Just remember,
That the labels you put on yourself
Are just stuck with velcro…
So what would you do if they weren’t there?
What would be different today?
What would you do?
How would you feel?
What would you wear?
What would you say?
When you ask these questions
It becomes apparent
That we can’t afford not to do something about our health..
You know, we only have one body…
Sounds cliche
But when the warning lights on the car come on
We do something about it
Whatever time and cost it takes…
So why don’t we value ourselves the same?
