WE CAN DO ANYTHING WE WANT TO DO IF WE STICK TO IT LONG ENOUGH

Many people ask me how I manage to stay so consistent. Commitment and consistency, as you know, is the key to achieve success in any endeavour.

But… It wasn’t always like this I have fallen off the wagon plenty of times, and managed to get back on again Why does this happen? When most people decide to make new changes in their lives, it is usually because they want to "get away" from something. Away from pain, away from disease, away from uncomfortable…and any direction is at least AWAY from it. This is a "push" motivator, and it is usually the catalyst for us to begin implementing a new routine or habit. After getting "away" from the feeling of dis-ease for a few weeks/months, we tend to forget how we used to feel and quickly revert to old habits. This creates the classic yo-yo effect we are all so familiar with when it comes to dieting and introducing new healthy habits to stay out of the doctor’s practice.

So what creates consistency and a stronger sense of commitment? It starts with creating a clear compelling future VISION that EXCITES you and PULLS you forward even on the days you don’t “feel like it” This will get you to turn your back on what you DON’T want and look in the direction of what you DO want.

"Energy flows where focus goes" - Tony Robbins This is the “pull” motivator and keeps you motivated long after the “push” has subsided. To create this compelling future vision, you need to change your identity... What do you need to differently each day to live more in alignment of who you want to become? For me this is growing old and being healthy.

Being able to help myself get up when I fall off the bed at 80. (Yes, my wellness vision stretches this far) It’s about healthy ageing, and loving my body at the age of 60. And yes, it is about bench pressing with the boys at the age of 50 It's about having the energy to live this beautiful life to it's fullest! And all my daily decisions align with this vision, keeping me committed and consistent...

….PULLING me forward to a future that excites me.
