The Power Of You!

There is too much to do! My life is too busy, there’s just too many things to overcome, I can’t see how on earth I’ll ever be able to ditch this weight! I've got to have my freedom, it's all just too much, I just can’t get my head around it! 

DEALING WITH OVERWHELM  

It happens doesn’t it, we find ourselves looking at the scales and wondering how the heck did that happen? When did that number get so big? And how on earth are going to get it back down?  

It can be very overwhelming, but it can also be very empowering. 

Because it’s in those moments we wake up and decide enough is enough, it’s time to do something.  

But life is busy and losing weight can seem like a huge mountain we have to climb and we’re not sure how to we’re going to get there. The first thing is to take a deep breath, you don't have to do it all now, and you’re not looking for perfection, you’re looking for progress. 

Let's break this down into manageable steps that you can start implementing today. Here are a few pieces of advice to help you: 

SET REALISTIC GOALS 

Know the direction you’re heading (losing 20kg) but set your goals based on what aspects you have to change that will lead to that result. 

EMBRACE SMALL CHANGES 

You don't have to dive into a super restrictive diet or intense workout regimen from day one – or at all for that matter. Start with tiny adjustments. Think about the food you’re having daily and start making small adjustments every day in every meal. Not only does small changes lead to big results over time, but it will inspire new ideas, create momentum, give you small daily wins that will provide the feeling of success that will keep you moving forward. 

FIND ENJOYABLE ACTIVITIES 

Make the process enjoyable. Start small and build up. If you haven’t exercised in a while, you’ll need to build up your body at a pace that will energize you, not leave you feeling sore and fatigued. Find activities you genuinely enjoy, it doesn’t matter what it is, the more enjoyable it is, the more you’re going to want to do it. Getting started and in to the routine of moving your body is the path to building up your fitness regime.  

PRIORITIZE YOU 

Balancing a busy life requires you to be feeling your best so prioritize sleep, understand your personal responses to stress and think about small ways you can alter that response that will leave you feeling more in control of your emotions, make sure you get outside time every day, we are all like Superman, a good dose of sunshine does wonders for our mindset and energy. A healthy lifestyle is not just about the body but also the mind. 

FLEXIBILITY IS KEY 

Deprivation will lead to habit relapse, and we find our freedom when we allow ourselves things that give us actual joy. It’s about discovering the difference and distinction between foods that give you actual joy and emotional eating.  

BUILD A SUPPORT SYSTEM 

Build a team of supportive people around you. It doesn’t have to be friends and family and sometimes it works better if it’s strangers as they’re more likely to give you critical feedback that will lead you forward rather than well-meaning comfort. Having the right support team can be the difference between struggling and succeeding. 

Success ultimately comes from the power of small sustainable adjustments, those 1% improvements, the marginal gains and the powerful positive impact it has on your mindset to keep moving forward and build momentum.
