The Mindset
-This part is gonna be really specific for the mind, the mindset to get into great shape especially if u are very obese, fat, anorexic, have bulimia or severe body dysmorphia it may be hard to fix and habits or get in shape unless u get in tune with your mind, what makes u tick, why do u do these bad habits, why do u over or under eat, where does it stem from, childhood, a breakup, maybe some form of PTSD, bullying whatever it is, u need to be honest with at least yourself and take accountability, u need to show up for yourself and believe u can and will achieve your goal, even if u have to lie, pretend, for some people it's gonna be lonely, that's what it takes for extreme change, if u have great friends and family who all wanna see u change rapidly great, most people don't, they are either alone, or have bad influences, or people who don't even care if they see u do better, in extremes some people may even be jealous, it doesn't matter, U need to fix what u want in YOUR life, so really think, why do i do the things I do?, how do i feel before and after?, during?, is it worth it, what's it gonna take for me to change or stop that habit or habits?, or start doing that thing U need to do
-These are all things i masked myself, at work, at school, i was with family and always thinking why am i doing this thing or that thing, the more u think, whether it's by choice or u just have this burning desire like some do and these questions and feelings flood your brain unless u take some sort of suppressant to stop it, ask yourself, WHY? Why am i doing this, do I want to live like this, always in uncertainty, always asking what if. This can go for any problem or thing you are running from in YOUR life. It has for me and will always continue to, but for fitness and health specifically, u need to think and be honest, because it sucks. It always will suck and you can either get used to it and adapt or always be afraid of even starting.
-U have to be a little delusional, u have to walk and emulate yourself as if u already have achieved your goal. Don’t be cocky but u need to put yourself in that mindset as if u have already achieved your goal so that time will catch up to U, and as u act as if the goal is already achieved, when u actually do achieve your goal, u will already be adapted and u will be carried to ur goal almost
-Self belief is the key, if you truly believe it or not, LIE to yourself, what do you have to lose, NOTHING. U are already losing, so if u emulate who u want to become u will see yourself naturally want to change your habits and actually become that person, if u think deeply, and when tough situations arrive you'll be able to be more rational and think deeper, Who Am I?
-This will help u in the future as u build up those tough decisions like going for that run, not drinking 7 drinks on saturday, hitting the gym even though u dont feel 100% if u did decide to drink the night before etc.
-These small wins will boost your self confidence and belief in Yourself, which is key. U only have to fake it until U DONT anymore, eventually you will become that person, and it may still feel pretend but guess what, once u have a catalog of prior decisions and action to back it up, U have arrived and are now that person and now it is REAL.
-Its easy to say all of this, but to start sucks clearly, that's the good part tho, thats where u grow, in those moments of solitude where u are alone, thinking, the key is not to fake this, it HAS TO BE REAL, it is REAL. This is the new u or the u that you always knew you were regardless, lie, pretend, amplify, whatever. Get to who u truly want to be, it will suck, but it is worth it, and then overtime u can keep that type of drive and keep challenging yourself 10 fold, or u come to a place where u are healthy, feel and look good and for those people u can go on cruise control after
-For the ones who want to be high achievers, in sport, business, fitness whatever, just keep that mindset, and build a catalog of proof as u continue to keep building up these small and big wins.
The more u do those things u dont want to do you'll build a I call it resume of shit, that u HAVE DONE, once u have done it u can always mentally go back into that mental space and do it again.
