So a couple days back I ended up pulling a late
nighter..
Why you might ask..?
Well it has been one hell of a long week
and I needed to create some space with a good
laugh
So me and the better half stayed up late
watching the hilarious Bill Burr..
Seriously, if you haven’t watched this mans
latest special on Netflix..go catch it now
(warning: its not for the easily offended)
Back to my late night..
We didn’t end up getting to bed till close to
1 in the morning..
and I didn’t actually fall asleep till
probably 2..(constant chaos rattling away in
my mind)
I know, I know
doesn’t seem that late
However, I had to wake up at the crack of
dawn (5am to be more precise)
Tons of biz niz stuff to get done
Plus, as I’ve mentioned before I MUST start
my day with POWER
Training
Meditating
Self Study
ALL the above before my day officially gets
going..
and of course as always when I am tired..
(which I’m sure you
find this happens to you as well)
The excuses begin to overload in your brain
as a ‘justification’
to the fact that you’re too tired
This is inevitable if you’re
Run down
Stressed
and
Tired
The excuses will run wild on YOU
and same goes for me
The excuses I had when that alarm went off
were literally piling up in my head..
Literally giving me an out as why I don’t
need to get up
and that I can just sleep in
and skip the whole ‘morning routine of power’
Fact is this issue will never STOP
and what makes it even worse…
Is that society and those closest to us
Give us permission to show up with so many
REASONS as to why we don’t have to do
something
Instead of just focusing on what’s better for
us
The RESULTS
You’ve heard it before..
‘You’re fine, missing one day won’t hurt you’
or
‘You were up late, you’re tired and you need
to rest’
Its ok to not get in your workout
Its ok to skip your morning routine
Its ok to get off track of your diet
Its ok not to work as hard
Plenty of ways to justify how you’re feeling
Problem is my friend
your EXCUSES
suck..
and so do MINE
Mine are right up there with yours
My mind creates the same justifications
The same stories time and time again
Now in all reality
Most goals we seem to initially COMMIT upon
Are always thinking in terms of the perfect
scenario
Losing weight
Dropping Fat
Reaching your best body ever
to have
More Energy
More Sex
More Confidence
and of course
to FEEL better
Are the always the spark that get you excited
in the first place
Until reality hits you right in the face
Realizing that you actually have to do the
work to get the outcome you ultimately want
See commitments are always top priority when
your conditions seem perfect
but on the other hand your commitments begin
to lower when the conditions get a little
bumpy
and being exhausted is the first ideal
scenario of when conditions take the ultimate
turn for the worst
and most begin to parish at this point
Unless you are outright committed to holding
your word on what you say you would do
The BS stories in your head will never stop
but you are the master of your own decisions
and your COMMITMENTS
The only thing thats going to give you power
to combat these excuses
Is to be..
COMMITTED to doing what you said you would do
Regardless of how you may feel
because your feelings are like the boy who
cried wolf
They’re LIARS
Somedays you will be on fire
Other days you will feel like not even
getting out of bed
but if you base your goals always on how you
feel
You will never equate to the success you want
in any area of your LIFE (body included)
Its just like the busy working peeps within the
LostFit elite coaching arena
They know that some days will be off
but they will never surrender to the BS
stories that they’re minds continue to create
because they are ruthlessly committed to
getting the results they’re after
Which is the ONLY
I repeat the only way
You get what you want
No magic bullet or quick fix
No one will do it for YOU
ONLY you can create your outcomes
and the simple way to give you the path for
that is exactly right in here:
