Would you base a year 7 pupil’s performance in a piece of work by comparing it to that of a year 9 pupil?

❌Of course you wouldn’t

Would you tell a year 3 pupil they were failing because they couldn’t do something as quickly or as expertly as a year 6 pupil?

❌Of course you wouldn’t

Would you expect a 14 year old to be able to compete on an A level exam with 18 year olds?

❌Of course you wouldn’t

So why are you comparing yourself to people who have been on their journey longer? Or have different goals to you? Or start in a different position?

Your journey is personal! Enjoy the process and stop worrying about where other people are on their journey.

I received this message after the first month with a new client. It means the world to me.

Getting in shape is so much more than mere aesthetics. Being healthy and feeling healthy can have so many positive implications on your life from work productivity to self-confidence.

If you had a child in your class who made an error on their work, would you tell them to rip their work up and start again?

No of course you wouldn’t.

You’d tell them to put a line through the mistake and carry on from where they finished.

So why is it when you make a mistake, skip a workout, eat a cheat meal do you feel the need to punish yourself and go completely off plan and rip up all the hard work you’d done up until then?!

Use the same empathy you would with the child in your class. Put a line through it and continue on.

Through your journey there will be hiccups but don’t let that make you rip up all your hard work.

Don’t fall into the trap where you measure your own self worth against the numbers displayed on the scales.

Progress can manifest itself in different ways.

There are hundreds of metrics we could and should use in order to view progress.

✅ Physical health
✅ Mental health
✅ Energy levels
✅ Quality of life
✅ Performance levels
to name a few

Our success and progress should not be gauged off a singular variable - weight.

Do you ever find yourself saying "I wish I had time to do..."

Teaching can be a thankless job. Working 8:30 - 16:00 but then the seemingly endless amounts of marking, preparation etc.

We can very easily allow ourselves to push our own wellbeing down the pecking order.

Here are 3 tips you can try to help yourself wrestle back your time and control your life.

You’re what you do daily. Small actions performed every day is more effective than a lot of people think.

Celebrate the small wins.

People fail to ensure they complete the simple things first.

An example could be people wanting the newest, shiniest supplement whilst completely disregarding the other aspects of their nutrition.

Make sure you do the simple things well - it’ll serve you well in the long run.

Investment - this does not necessarily consist of monetary value in the traditional sense

By investment we can be talking about:
* Investing time (creating time in your week to workout)
* Investing yourself (giving 100% to reach your goals)
* Investing your energy

Health is wealth start investing today 💪🏼
