The Core Factor Preventing YOUR Optimal Health and Fitness.
4 June 2009 in InspirationWhat’s one thing that’s keeping you from being ‘fit?
You’re alive . . . but you’re not really living.
It’s not your training methods; it’s not your sleep habits; it’s not your nutrition. (Truthfully, it might be, but I’m not discussing that now. . .)
No. . . this goes much deeper than that — deeper than most individuals stop to think about, or care to think about for that matter.
You’re ALIVE . . . but you’re not really LIVING.
Sure, your heart is beating.
You’re breathing.
Your brain is functioning.
You’re moving.
You’re interacting with society.
You’re ALIVE.
But maybe you’re also paralyzed by fear — worrying about the future.
Maybe you spend half of each day lamenting the past.
Perhaps you’re at a job (or you’ve made a life choice) where you’re unhappy, but ’staying put’ despite that unhappiness.
You might be ’staying the course’ because you’ve fallen prey to the thinking that ‘you’re old . . . and there’s no point in changing now!’
You’re NOT LIVING.
And the result of this — being alive, but not living — is that you’re in a constant state of turmoil, whether that turmoil is as obvious a hand in front of your face, or as subtle and imperceptible as an ant’s footsteps from 100 miles away.
You’re in a state of constant, draining, unnecessary stress because you’re living a life that’s in conflict with the peace, joy, love freedom and action that your heart and soul desires. You’re living in conflict with your life’s purpose.
And that conflict effects you mentally, emotionally and physically — drastically effecting all the effort you’re giving to achieving optimal health and fitness, no matter how hard you’re working.
How do I know this?
Because I’ve seen countless times with my clients — clients who, from the outside looking in, had everything going for them. Wisdom from experience. Wealth. Fame. A loving, thriving family. Supportive Friends.
Many of these individuals were successful as defined by society in almost every imaginable way, yet still unable to take control of their health and fitness. They came to me, whether it was for a ‘health overhaul’ and losing 100+ pounds, or for a ‘touch-up’ job to burn a few pounds of fat and ‘firm up’ for the summer, frustrated with their inability to get the results they wanted . . .
And many of them, when they ‘began living’ (in conjunction with the other education they received), saw dramatic, positive changes — not only in health and fitness — but in every aspect of their lives!
You can have the same thing to . . . if you simply move beyond ‘just being alive’ and start living!
Get out of your mind so that you can see this moment, right now, that’s in front of you.
Let go of your fears and, with your open eyes, see (and seize!) the opportunities that are presenting themselves to you right now.
Trash the ‘I’m too old . . . it’s too late’ story you’ve told yourself and do exactly what your soul is crying for you to do! After all, it’s your life, no matter where you are along the journey, and nobody else is going to do it for you!
What are you waiting for? Go out and start LIVING!
