What are the Stories you Tell Yourself?

Have you been back to the gym yet? Have you resumed any of your best or favourite habits that got lost over the last month of so?

What are the stories you are telling yourself about that?

I find the stories we tell ourselves are the most significant thing that determine our actions and how we feel about them.

The narrative we build around doing a certain thing will ALWAYS be true.

Read that again.

That means that if you start telling yourself a different story about your workouts (or whatever it is you are trying to do), there will be a different outcome. 

If you are telling yourself you don’t have time, you’re too tired, you’ll do it next week, you’ll wait until X time, then for sure, all those things will be true. 

If you tell yourself how important your workout is for you to be able to think clearly, sleep well, have more energy, and keep yourself healthy, fit and Strong then you will be smoothing the journey to the door.

That’s the fundamental difference between those who come for their workouts and those who don’t. Even the ones who struggle (and believe me, everyone does), are telling themselves a story about how the struggle will be worth it, and so it is, and they win the battle.

The voice inside your head is the most powerful tool for change you have, so make sure it is your own voice (not someone else’s) and choose your story for the outcome you want the most.
