Many times I had to deal with the weird looks or silence breaks whenever I told my friends what I was up to on my free time. But they would come to me for advice on their problems thinking that I was just born with this “power”. The truth is that I started reading personal development books since I was fourteen years old. Everything started from the pain I was going through at that time. I was going through a depressed phase and by reading those books I learnt ways that I could think about what was going on in my mind in different ways. And that is the most fascinating thing for me when it comes to personal development. You learn different ways of thinking about what you see, feel and experience in your life. But with that, also comes a sense of responsibility. Once you have the tools, it’s up to you how you use them. You can have all the tools in the world and keep them in your toolbox or you can make the most out of your tools to solve every challenge you’re faced with. Or you might have the tools but just need a reminder that you have them and they’re there to be used. Life gets busy in our heads sometimes and it’s easy to forget about our toolbox.
A couple of years ago I was introduced to Dr John Demartini’s work. I was fascinated by his tools. Everything made so much sense and I could see the balance in everything around me.
One major game-changer I learnt from him is about values. As humans, we are always looking to fulfil our highest values. And everything we do that fulfils our highest values, we do it effortlessly and with love. And you might be asking how is this related to the title of this blog ?…
Let’s now put the pieces together. If you are someone who struggles to commit to your health and fitness plan, it is very likely you don’t see how those micro-actions will add up to fulfilling your highest values. When this happens, the only thing that will get you going is willpower. But willpower is very hard to sustain in the long term. Instead, we want to find out what is your trigger to feel inspired to commit to your plan. For example, if you are someone who wants to progress in your career or expand your business, you know that your energy and mental clarity are key to achieving those goals. Knowing how much more energy you get when you are the fittest and healthiest version of yourself, would you not want to commit to your meal and workout plan now?
Or if you lack self-confidence on the way you show up in life and you have the desire to change that, imagine how much more confident you’d be in your skin by being stronger, slimmer, or by having bigger muscles. The goal should always be personal, but having in mind the fulfilment of your highest values.
And this is how you find the long-lasting fuel for your commitment. If you’d like to get back on track here is the link for my FREE 5 step guide to being your fitness journey: https://aw14d066.aweb.page/5step-fitness
