Hey EF Fam,
Have you ever regretted exercising?
Didn’t think so…
After a training session I have never heard someone say,
“I wish I didn’t workout this morning” …
Or “I shouldn’t have exercised today” …
What about stuffing your face with junk food or over-indulging on unhealthy foods?
Have you ever regretted that?
Of course you have.
The reason is simple one takes discipline, will power and makes you feel and look great; the other makes you feel and look like crap.
Can you guess which one does what?
Here’s a quick solution for when you get the urge to eat unhealthy junk food – Exercise! Do some push-ups, squats, walking lunges, run etc.
And when you feel like exercising, exercise harder and longer 🙂
Our brains are literally like computer programs and the more we repeat a behavior, we reinforce it creating a pattern. The longer and more often the behavior has been repeated, the greater the neural pathway in the brain is and the harder it is to stop that pattern.
So we can reprogram the brain through actions since the typical process for an action is:
1. A thought that leads to…
2. A feeling or an emotion, which leads to…
3. An Action
If we are caught in a never-ending cycle of repeated actions that we do not like then we need to reverse the process.
But first we must be aware of the patterns before we can change them. So look at patterns in your life that lead to actions for unwanted results.
If you find that you have an unwanted pattern that is hard to correct, here is a simple way to get started on correcting it.
1. Take action first, even if you do not feel like it (for example, exercise even when your brain says “I want to stuff my face with junk food and veg out)
2. You will feel better
3. You will begin to think differently and change the thought patterns in your brain that lead you to the unwanted behavior.
Does that make sense? It’s kind of along the same lines as fake it till you make it; but faking it never works. You actually have to “do” and “be” in the action for changes to be made.
“Being” is the highest form of action. Intentions are great but ACTION IS KING.
Take action now 🙂
Committed to your success,
P.S. Yesterday a client made my day when she told me that EarthFIT was by far the best gym that she had ever been to and she said “I have A LOT of experience with gyms, this one is the best”. Our goal is to make people see that
