ITS ALL ABOUT YOU - AS IT SHOULD BE!

just like the truth of your exercise and eating habits is revealed in your fat composition, your actions reflect the truth of your thoughts.
To achieve any sort of long lasting fat loss you need to stick to certain fundamentals. Controlling fat storage is simply energy in versus energy out. Nothing more, nothing less. You will always come back to this simple equation. Its you that has the choice to exercise or not, and its you that puts the food in your mouth. (Being experienced and trained in seated exercise there will never be a good excuse to NOT do some sort of exercise- but thats another subject). Its simply your choice thats all, and you need to take it on the chin and live with the consequences of your choices. The same could be said for your thoughts and thought patterns. Thoughts on the inside control your actions on the outside, and just like the truth of your exercise and eating habits is revealed in your fat composition, your actions reflect the truth of your thoughts. So just who does control your thoughts? Answer: YOU! Who is responsible for your future? That would be YOU again. Who is responsible for your reactions to what life and other people present to you? Yep you guessed it…YOU. Its all about YOU YOU YOU!
In America Wellness Coaching has emerged as a powerful tool dedicated to helping people change, develop, and meet personal and professional goals, while building motivation, resiliance, performance and self-efficacy. Imagine if we as individuals took responsibility for our own thinking and actions, goodness we can only dare to assume the obvious of a healthier stronger minded community. And just like going to a gym, changing our behaviour is only for the people who have courage and commitment to change. People who wish to take charge of their life styles and health need to be applauded and encouraged. The obvious impact on our health system would be hugely significant. There begs the question why aren’t we doing the obvious? The answer could be as simple as this…. A wise lady once said to me “most people arn’t interested in prevention because it can not be measured Carla”… We have intervention which is measurable but no clear initiatives for pre vention for individuals. Therefore we have to face the ugliness of abuse, get sick or break down first so we then have a tangible measure. Clearly this logic is unfortunately shared by the majority. My advice.. don’t wait for something to break to then have to initiate huge changes, take charge now with little steps.
“Generally speaking, once you’re already in a difficult situation, it isn’t possible to change your attitude simply by adopting a particular thought once or twice. Rather its a process of learning, training and getting used to new viewpoints that enables you to deal with the difficulty” The Dalai Llama.
