Weight Yo-yoing & Your Standards

If you’ve ever 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 and 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 it back again?

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗱 with weight loss?

Have 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 because of 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆?

This is for you 👇🏻  🚨 

In another area of life, have you ever set a goal, surpassed it…looked back and 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘄?

With those thoughts come ‘s**t, what else could I achieve with 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱’ 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗴𝗼?

(𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱, 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺…𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 ‘𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦’ 𝘰𝘪 𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘪𝘪𝘪𝘪 😜)

𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 you set your mind on.

Especially with your 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 and 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

For all of the potential in habitual, mind and body transformation, sadly too many people do the same, they set the bar low, achieve it (𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴), and more often than not, revert back to ‘𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲’.

Something come up, 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, a 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀, the 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿…that’s not a dig, it’s a big piece of the new standard for awesome results.

If you’re open to stepping up in that area of your life of course? 

If not, those things will always be present as 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗮𝘁𝘀 for 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 a 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 of authentic self-care and why you can never keep momentum going with all related health and fitness avenues. 

Every man, women and their dog says,

‘𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼, 𝗜 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁’.

When the 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 of ‘𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵’ gets 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱, it’s 4 weeks later, the new year, or even just an acceptance that it’s not realistic or doable… OR ☝🏻 ‘𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦’ (𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘱?…𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘱 😂)

at the end of the day, what’s that down to? 

𝗬𝗼𝘂. 

Your 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁. 

Your 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 of 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 aswel as your 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 that places you 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 their short term 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀.

Perception plays a huge part in this with the paradigm of thoughts 👇🏻 beyond the brackets 😂

‘𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯’𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦’.

‘𝘛𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺’.

‘𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵, 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬’.

‘𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘥’…

(𝘏𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘺 𝘣𝘰𝘮𝘣 💣 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩, 𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘴**𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦)

𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗺 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱? Everything and everyone else’s fault.

𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 with ownership? The ‘‘𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳’, mentality.

This comes down to the 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 and the accompanying 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱. 

WHAT LEVEL YOU SET YOUR BAR. 

What are the 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀?

What’s the 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆?

What’s the ‘𝘰𝘩 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴’ plan?

Because, curve balls will happen.

You won’t feel like sticking with your exercise regime from time to time.

You won’t feel like eating normal whole foods from time to time.

You’ll want to on occasions forget your worries by having late nights with Netflix as your best bud.

Hooooowever, 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲, momentum of choices that promote lethargy, weight gain, and procrastination build up, so ‘𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧’ is a fatal error in successful personal care whilst you’re in a tough moment. 

It’s a daily showing….of universal laws and principles.

👆🏻 this is what 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘆𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀, who 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 through challenging circumstances. which ultimately creates the 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 to be your best version.

That shows in the body. 

It’s the difference between crappy and amazing results. 

Key ingredient to that 👆🏻

This 👇🏻

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲.

No, this doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy life

It means you 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 so that life doesn’t by default deal you the outcomes of emotional short term feel good decision making… the taste of the ‘𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵’,  or the ‘𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵’ is ‘𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘦’ in the moment, yet there’s a nagging desire not to eat crap and to be more healthy and active ‘𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦’.

Isn’t that a contradiction? 

Don’t we get annoyed when we see contradictions in others that effect us? Maybe a contradiction from a colleague, a boss, your spouse? 

Why accept that for your health? 

The high standard is what it’s all about with the small daily consistent things done well… to the tune of imperfection (𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦).

You’ll build and maintain a healthy body as a bi-product of that!

You won’t build a healthy body just by ‘𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵’ , the exchange for value has to be more than effort alone, effort into a the wrong place

Is effort, and that effort won’t meet your expectations if it’s in the wrong place. 

What a giant turd that is.

A load of effort, lost time, and no meaningful progress to show for it. 

No thanks.

Ask any legend that I work with (𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩), a 𝗯𝗶-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 of 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 and 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 creates 𝗣𝗛𝗬𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦.

Just shooting for weight, on top of a weak foundation, won’t be strong enough to healthily create and sustain the genuine change that you want.

How does this help you?

Let’s have some takeaways (𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 🙄😉) 🚀

🎯 Set your 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 than the 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.

With the right 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 and 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆, those outcomes are a 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆. 

🎯 If the bar is set to do doing something out of hate for your state (𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴, 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘺, 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘴), when the brown stuff hits the fan and the needle of time moves regardless, the 𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 (𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴) will 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 and 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 for that matter. 

Basically this comes down to 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹.

🎯 A key part of our self-care success is to establish and 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁.

This brings a 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱, better 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵, and let’s be honest, 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 

The days of self-canabolsim through restrictive eating and s**t***g yourself thin from the detox mega mix 3000 (𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘶𝘱)  for the holiday, event, or whatever it is are over. 

…If you raise your self-care standards.

Have a great day 🥳

Be 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 in the 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴, you will balls it up, but that’s how you get better, and taking the 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 is what will make you into your 𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘆. 

Shhhmmmaaaash it 🚀
