Let's get into it. You can't get a positive result with negative energy Putting too much pressure on what you're doing, it just kills it. You're trying to achieve something amazing for yourself, you're trying to improve your life BUT you're just dragging your arse through the whole thing. You're not going to keep that up. To make sure that this process happens the solution here is to experiment and play with the process. Just slow down and choose something that's appropriate for where you are now and what I mean by that is to have something that's not creating any tension inside of you. Don't put yourself under too much tension I was working with a lady recently, and I was talking about this idea of choosing something that doesn't cause any tension inside of you, no matter how little that is. And I said to her okay what about 10 push-ups once a week? It seems a bit silly but at the end of the day for someone to say I don't have time to do that we all know they're taking the piss, everyone's got time for 10 push-ups once a week. So that causes no tension. Will I be able to keep it up? Yes you can keep that up. So she wanted to do something every day and I said okay so 10 push-ups, 10 squats, 10 sit-ups every day that's it. That's it. Does that cause any tension inside of you? And she said no, no I have no trouble with the idea of doing that. But then asks is it effective enough? Well, what does effective mean? We're saying it's effective to to be able to start to get some momentum that's effective , so damn the results that you may or may not get. This is not about that yet, it's about starting to build a routine and build an identity and belief in the fact that you can do it. And then I said to her okay what about 20 reps, do you think that you could keep that up? And she was like no that causes tension and even she even said like it sounds silly but it does, I don't feel right about that and I was like sweet. All good. That's where you need to start now. And you know what, by the end of that the week by the end of the fortnight she's going to still be doing it. She's not gonna do that for six months and just be like yup this is all I can do. When you've been doing it for long enough you're ready to do more. And when you're ready to do more, do more. If you're not ready don't worry there's no rush and that's what we do we play with it. Where is your point of tension? Where can you start? So now, ask yourself - What am I ready to do? Try something and stick with it. Later on, you can add more on and then you can try something else and you add it on and then you just go with what feels right to you at the time. This is the best way to build a long term exercise plan that you can stick to.

Whether you are an Athlete, Gym Enthusiast or total Fitness Beginner, the chaos of life will give you plenty of reasons why to miss your workout and give up on training. Today we're here to talk about how to stop making excuses for working out and we delve into 3 strategies on how to stop making excuses to miss your workouts so you stop skipping training sessions and you get the weight loss and body transformation results you deserve. Let's get straight into it: 1. Stop Blaming External Circumstances There are always things going on in life. There is always some party coming up, the kids are sick or work is busy. Always that kind of thing going on. We've all got little time, everyone's busy, everyone's got it hard - so having that be the reason why we don't do anything means you'll never do anything. The reality is there's always things in life that you can change some things you can't, but the truth is there's a lot more that you can change than we typically think. I think we were sort of taught in this culture that you know if the outside world would only be a certain way then I could get things going on. But the truth is the world is as it is and it's not going to change anytime soon. Life is becoming more and more chaotic as we go on so we're going to have to learn to rise to that occasion and handle the chaos, the external circumstances that are going to change and they'll probably worse at some point compared to whatever they are now. What are you going to do just quit? No we can't do that, that's not going to get you long-term results and letting go of your health goals and everything that's making you feel fit, strong and confident is not going to help you show up better in those circumstances. You can always just take on a new perspective and just start moving forward. That's a big part of what we're going to get into throughout our journey here on this channel and anything else we've got how to take control of the things that we can in our lives very empowering process. 2. Keep The Momentum Going Sometimes you're just not going to want to do it. It's going to be hard and the last thing you want to do but you do it anyway, and that doesn't mean flog yourself and destroy yourself and you have to do it so hard all the time, it just means you do something. You have the power to make some change somewhere, absolutely. Even if it's the tiniest little bit. A key solution that I've found makes a big difference is to choose something have sort of what they call a 'Minimum Effective Dose'. Something that you're going to be able to do even under high stress situations. And as we take control of one tiny little thing it starts to grow and we can nurture that change in behaviour and grow it. Then you're actually getting the results you want and this is how it can really last. 3. The Harder It Is The More You Get Out Of It They say that sometimes the workout that you don't want to do is the most important one because it builds your discipline and commitment. It's just something that happens on the inside. When you do it even when you don't want to the commitment becomes stronger. Everyone seems pretty comfortable with the idea that the harder you work out the more you get out of it - you've got the Olympic athletes and bodybuilders - the harder the workout is, the bigger, stronger and fitter they get. That's what's like on the inside too. The internal struggles that we go through, the harder it is the more you get out of it. And I think as long as you are connected to that then the suffering has a purpose and it has something that is inspiring in it even though it sucks and sometimes it does. Think to yourself: "It's making me stronger I was feeling weak and down but I'm doing it anyway" and then you come out the other end of that with a sense of confidence and pride. The more pride that you have for how hard you worked to get through it and how you did it even though you didn't want to really empowers the process. Really a key to be consistent is to do it even when you don't want to do it because then you've got that commitment and that discipline growing. The harder that it was for you to do, the easier it's going to be for you to do next time because you know last time that sucked but ... now this is easy.

Keep up to date with our latest content on Hypnotherapy and Weight Loss Coaching by: If you struggle to find motivation for training and ask yourself 'why can't I stay consistent with working out?' then this blog post is for you. I want to start this blog post with a quote that really sums up my philosophy in the whole approach to achieving body transformations that last. Focus on the inner game and the outer game takes care of itself. I first come across this idea when I was wanting to get into a relationship actually. When I lost the weight I didn't gain the self-esteem and everything that I needed to be out there and be more appealing, talking to girls and building that part of my life. And there was all these things about techniques and the pickup lines and the fashion and how to sound better and come across better and doing all these things, but it seemed like a lot of work to pretend to be that way and this is what you might call outer game. All the techniques and tricks and things that you could do. Working on the inner game building self-confidence and building a better relationship with yourself and ability to connect with others and doing all these sorts of things is working on the inner game. And then when the inner game is good when those things are there you just naturally connect with people more, you naturally want to be in a relationship in a better way that's not just serving yourself it's serving you know the both of you, and you just become a more attractive person. Once the inner game is sorted out all the actions just fall in line and even though it seemed like a lot maybe more work to some degree to work on the inner game, I couldn't just do the quick tricks and get what I wanted. You had to go in and do the hard work but ultimately in the long run if we're just pretending and not representing myself truly as I am in the world then that's ultimately a lot more work. It would be easier really even to just do the inner work and then what happens on the outside it just happens and I don't have to worry about it. And this is kind of the essence of what is the way to make it last. In regards to fitness and body transformations this idea I think really holds well in that these days, people are just saying let's do this trick, or technique or let's do this hack and then you start trying to focus so much on 'oh am I doing the right technique?' 'am I having the right diet?' 'am I doing exactly the right thing?' and worrying about all these sort of outer game things and trying to track all the pieces it's very exhausting. So if we do the inner work we align ourselves with health and wanting to be stronger and fitter and we really really want that, our values are in align with that in terms of discipline and motivation and all that stuff when you work on those things the outer game just takes care of itself. You're going to naturally be drawn to be doing more of these many things and spending more time building those aspects of yourself because you're aligned with that. So it's when it's in you it's part of you it's who you are now and this is how it can really last and I think you can really if you just have a think about it you know yeah what it just naturally exudes out of you it's you have to fight yourself not to do it and that would be cool and it is cool. So I think you absolutely by getting into this material and really getting into the process and all the different ideas we're going to go through I think that that can definitely be your reality as well. So if you'd like a more personalized experience of that coaching process where we get you connected to your reasons and really get motivated I do the coaching services and you know we can go through down the road of fitness and weight loss and body transformations.
