Are you really serious?

When I noticed it was a bit rainy this morning, my first thought was ‘oh well that will probably make for a pretty small group session today’ – actually that was 2nd thought, my first thought was ‘come on Melbourne, summer’s nearly over let’s see some sun.’

But my 2nd thought was that the drizzle would probably mean a few people will not turn up to training today.

Then I got to thinking about how some goals are more serious than others. Most of us probably have some sort of weight loss or fitness or health goal – some people might really WANT to reach their goal, but they may not be 100% serious about it. And that’s fine! I’m sure there are things in life that I really want, but am not prepared to put in the effort required to achieve them.

If you’re fully committed to losing 5kgs, and I mean fully, you will not let a little rain stop you training, you will not let a little muscle soreness stop you training, you will not eat a block of chocolate or down a bottle of wine because you had a bad day at work – and so on. But that’s only if you’re completely and utterly committed to getting to where you want to be.

If that chocolate or wine DOES make you feel better after a shitty day at work – then go for it – but you’ll need to realise that for now those treats are more important to you than reaching your goals. And again, that’s fine!

Once the mind shift changes and you FULLY commit, you’ll train in the rain, you’ll skip the wine and chocolate and find other ways to de-stress. You won’t find it hard to drag your bum to training, you’ll happily skip cake at the next office birthday – you’ll be completely focused and on a mission.

I’m not putting anyone down for not being 100% – it’s not for everyone or you may not be ready – I’m just saying your particular goal may not be on the top of your priority list.

You’ll know when you’re ready – because you’ll let nothing stop you!! Excuse-free is a great place to be!!

Have a great day,

Paula
