Don’t settle.Grow

“Change promotes growth”

“The slightest wave can cause the biggest movement”

So I haven’t blogged in a while, sorry. I have been terribly busy.  Anyways I decided my blog posts were going to take a new direction.  They still will talk about fitness and health but I also want to include some other things, like just me, my life and how it all ties into fitness and health.  Generally speaking it will almost be like you live here with me. With this all being said, Today’s topic is about change. This is a settle way to say it because really it’s about me telling you to change your habits and change your no into a yes. 

I have come to realize over the course of a few days, I have been using “nos” and less “yes’s” and I am setting a bad example for you guys.  My no’s have been mostly due to the fact I am overwhelmed with stuff each and every day and have this thought in mind that I should just give up and call it a day.  Now I don’t act on my “nos” because I am not a quitter, and I want to accomplish so much this year that no just isn’t the answer.  So.. I want to know 

If you fall into any of these categories then you need to read this blog.  Simple as that. (which I will assume will be a bunch of people) because I am almost sure everyone has these days at least ONCE. 

Take note of all this I am about to tell you because if this doesn’t help you, then you have chosen to not accept the help and if you choose to not accept the help, then fine by me. Lets begin by saying, you aren’t a quitter because you have these days, you aren’t a failure, you aren’t a loser, you aren’t a bum, you don’t belong in a bin where people throw shit at you, and you aren’t the world’s biggest slacker. You are HUMAN and LIFE HAPPENS.  <——- Never forget this. I am going to also add that if this happens you like it has me these past few days, then we are going to work on this together. All of us. 1 team and a huge dream! <———–Remember this as well.

• Write down a list of all the goals you want to accomplish within 2016, I want you to literally write these down, or if you rather input them on a computer doc or tablet or phone. Where ever you are going to remember it. (WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN) goals, dreams, to do list, ect
• Take a 5 minute break from this list
• come back to the list and circle the top 3 things on the list that are most important to you (don’t think about it, just choose)
• for each one of these things write down a how to list (how are you going to accomplish it, what do you need, what are the order of operation and how do you propose you will get there?) think about this.
• start today on the list, take the first step to the first goal, work toward completing the first step. check off whatever you have accomplished already and move on to the next step… and continue this until that goal has been reached. it might take months or it might take the whole year that is okay. 

• Write down everything you said “I can’t, I won’t, I am not good enough, it’s too hard”; take note of all these things (for the week)
• Next to this list write down why you “can’t, why you aren’t good enough, why it’s too hard, and why you won’t”
• Then I want you to change all of these things to I can, I will, nothing is too hard, I am good enough..

• Smile
• Laugh
• Strive
• dedication
• prove yourself wrong
• reward
• control
• discipline
• mentally & physically satisfied
• remember & make memories

Now at first this will come off as a chore, but really its not a chore. It’s a guardian angel telling you to get your shit together, be productive, stop with self pity and get with the program. This is a simple list and simple steps.  Now will it solve world hunger, no but it will give you a running start in your life. 

This list is meant to help you decide what is important to you and give you a general path on getting their, and how much it really means to you to accomplish these goals you might have.

You need the process, the willpower and know the outcome before you start anything in life. If you don’t know the process of crossing the street you are at risk of getting hit by a car, if you don’t have the willpower to cross the street you may never get home and if you don’t know the outcome of crossing the street, you won’t care. Don’t settle. Grow.
