080 - You won't get as far if you don't believe in yourself.

I recently went to an event for gym owners, and realised that I don't really view myself as a "gym owner", more like a PT who happens to have a gym. I think it's important to change this as although I do take my job seriously, I can never make Fit for Purpose as good as it can be for my members if I don't believe in the fact that I'm a gym owner! I need to start taking things a bit more seriously. I think this can resonate well with anyone on a fitness journey. If you're trying to make new habits stick, you need to first believe in yourself! You need to see yourself as the type of person who values their health and takes care of themselves, if you half arse it and try to force yourself to do stuff you don't want to you won't get as far.

079 - Consistency is king, focus on that before worrying about anything else

Before you can fine tune something, you have to first be consistent with it. I think a lot of people worry about the finer details, when they'd be better off making sure they're as consistent as possible. Being consistent will solve the majority of your problems, then once you're consistent you can start fine tuning things. I think all these 'optimisers' online just confuse people and make things seem more complicated than they really are. Consistency is king, don't stress to much about the details 💪.

078 - I've failed all of my running goals this year :(

Shit happens! sometimes stuff happens which is out of your control & your priorities change. I think it's also important to put things into perspective and focus on how far you've came. You might not be where you want to be yet, but you might've still came along way! I'm not saying don't hold yourself to a high standard but I am saying it's always good to put your progress into perspective 👍.

077 - You've got motivation round the wrong way

Most people think they need to wait until they're motivated to get started. When in fact the way you get motivated is by getting started!

076 - It's going to take longer than you think.

It'll take you longer than you think! You're going to have setbacks, life will get in the way, you'll fall into bad habits. These things are part of the journey and are absolutely fine. it'll probably take you longer to get to where you want to be than you realise, but the main thing is that you get there! A 30 day detox or a 6 week shred probably isn't the answer. It might take longer than you realise, but you'll get there as long as you don't give up 👍.

075 - Fudge the scale!

There are plenty of other benefits to living a healthy lifestyle that I care more about than a number on a scale. remember there are plenty of ways to measure your progress and don't let a number on the scale define who you are.

074 - I wish everyone understood this about motivation

Motivation comes and goes! You won't always be motivated so you can't rely on it to take action. Relying too much on external goals and rewards can actually have a negative impact on your motivation, as once you achieve that reward or goal you'll probably have a drop in motivation. It's fine to have drops in motivation from time to time, everyone will experience that. But the people who stay in shape all year round don't rely on externally motivated, they're internally motivated and still stay consistent even when their motivation is low.
