Ask The Right Question

Coach Sall

I got some great replies to last week’s email, thanks everyone!

This week I’m going feature Kaz’s reply because she got it spot on and I want you all to hear what she said.

“It’s not can I do a workout, but when!!!” (those exclamation marks are all hers cos she really means it 😎)

Whether you get your workouts, or not, is literally all in your head.

Using words like “if I can make it”, or “can I fit it in”, or “have I got time” will mean that your brain will look for an answer, and our brains are not very good at spotting things that aren’t there (i.e. gaps in your schedule).

It’s going to look for someTHING, something definite, which in this case will be obstacles, things you need to or feel you should do. The voices in your head will be hard to ignore.

Asking yourself “WHEN can I do a workout” will really focus your mind on opportunities.

Like anything, this will get easier with practice because here’s the most important thing to remember (and thanks to new member Emma for reminding me of this last night) 👇

It’s not like you were sat around with 30 minutes to spare every day before you joined Curves were you? (Or were you… scroll, scroll, scroll 👀 More on that conversation next week!)

By asking a different question you will find different answers.

It’s not if, can or will. It’s why, how and when.

P.S. Are you using the workout log journal? Coincidentally Kaz does, religiously and it’s changed her thinking. You can read about it here, but make sure to check it out next time you are in the gym with a Coach. We’re here to help you build the habit of exercise. If you’re avoiding using the workout log journal it might just change how you think!

Kaz knows the question she needs to ask herself to make sure she gets her workouts!
