REAL CHAT ABOUT BOOZE

People ask ‘𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬?’⁣
⁣
The short answer is ‘𝘺𝘦𝘴’⁣
⁣
𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝟔 𝐨𝐫 𝟕 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤, ⁣
⁣
Maybe a few extra on some weeks⁣
⁣
And even better if they’re low calorie beers. ⁣
⁣
𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐉𝐎𝐑 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐌! ⁣
⁣
It’s WHY we’re drinking! ⁣
⁣
I’d be lying if I didn’t connect a few weekend beers to relaxing, ⁣
⁣
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐔𝐌𝐁𝐈𝐍𝐆⁣
⁣
𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 = 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥⁣
⁣
𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠 = 𝐝𝐲𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥⁣
⁣
Here’s how the latter works⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟏 - We have stress in our life which is normal and natural⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟐 – But if that stress is not dealt with, and keeps being pushed down, it creates emotions that we don’t want to feel⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟑 – Because we don’t want to feel our feelings, we use booze to numb them, so we don’t feel the feels⁣
⁣

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦: 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬⁣
𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠⁣
⁣
The thing is, the booze only MASKS the feelings⁣
⁣
It doesn’t mean the feelings aren’t there. ⁣
⁣
Most of us hate talking about feelings because we think it shows weakness⁣
⁣
Then we get to a point where we have a breakdown, we lash out, we sabotage and do further damage. ⁣
⁣
It takes courage to ask for help when booze seems like the only way out. ⁣

HOW I BUILT SELF LOVE

I used to think I’d be ‘good’ when I found the right partner⁣
⁣
That the love from another, would complete me.⁣
⁣
And it’s what I looked for in all relationships. ⁣
⁣
But then I looked in the mirror one day, and thought⁣
⁣
‘𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘥?’⁣
⁣
‘𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘦?’⁣
⁣
‘𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭?’⁣
⁣
Those questions made me pay more attention to how I was showing up for myself…⁣
⁣
I thought…⁣
⁣
‘𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱?’ ⁣
⁣
Look at the person every day and tell them you love them…⁣
⁣
Show up, do your best, and don’t sell out.⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐨, 𝐈 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝, 𝐈’𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟⁣
⁣
When you look in the mirror, ⁣
⁣
Be proud of your achievements, ⁣
⁣
Forgive yourself for your failings, ⁣
⁣
And promise that you’ll show up for yourself every day…⁣
⁣
Love builds…⁣
⁣
 I train hard, ⁣
⁣
 I eat good food rather than processed shit⁣
⁣
 My self-talk is compassionate but honest, ⁣
⁣
 I’m constantly learning so I feel like I’m constantly growing.⁣

THE POWER OF MAKING A DECISION

I wanted to be a dad forever⁣
⁣
My bro had kids, ⁣
⁣
My sister had kids, ⁣
⁣
And I had a picture of THEIR KIDS ⁣
⁣
It hurt! ⁣
⁣
And the older I got, ⁣
⁣
I started to wonder if it would ever ‘𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦?’ ⁣
⁣

⁣
A decision about the life I wanted,⁣
⁣
That things started happening…⁣
⁣
It’s been my experience that a lot of men struggle with that⁣
⁣
Making a decision.⁣
⁣
We sit in the void, ⁣
⁣
 Getting older, ⁣
⁣
 Getting unhealthier, ⁣
⁣
 Becoming less able, ⁣
⁣
Because we can’t make a decision to JUST START. ⁣
⁣
We’re scared of failing, ⁣
⁣
We’re scared of judgement, ⁣
⁣
You know, life’s bloody short⁣
⁣
And people are too busy dealing with their own shit to worry about yours⁣
⁣
𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫! ⁣
⁣
A better life awaits 

NO BEER, NO MEAT? I’M OUT!

⁣Weird realisation today…⁣
⁣
Went and got my hair cut⁣
⁣
Was talking to the barber⁣
⁣
He tells me he’s getting married next month⁣
⁣
I asked him if he’s pumped for all the good food and beers with mates? ⁣
⁣
He replied ‘𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐’𝘮 𝘷𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯!’⁣
⁣
(𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘥)⁣
⁣
My instant thought was ‘𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘵, 𝘯𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘳? 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘧𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦’⁣
⁣
Of course, I said ⁣
⁣
‘𝘢𝘩𝘩 𝘮𝘢𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘸𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦, 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶!’⁣
⁣
----⁣
⁣
But at that moment, ⁣
⁣
I had a thought…⁣
⁣
 Every bloke that is overweight…⁣
⁣
 Every bloke that KNOWS he must lose weight or risk heart attack⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐍𝐎 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐑, 𝐍𝐎 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐓? ⁣

⁣
What if that is the reason he isn’t getting started…?⁣
⁣
What a shame? ⁣
⁣
He thinks he has to give up ALL the good stuff in order to get healthy? ⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐄𝐂𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭, 𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬⁣

So… he dies at 55 years old of a heart attack?⁣
⁣

If you’re in that camp, ⁣
⁣
Wishing you could lose weight, but thinking it means giving up everything, ⁣
⁣
𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐮𝐭…⁣
⁣
You can have a beer, have meat, and lose weight - NO DOUBT!

⁣
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆?⁣
⁣
To maintain weight, stay in shape?⁣
⁣
It’s because you THINK “I’m unhealthy”⁣
⁣
“𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴…”⁣
⁣
“𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘺…”⁣

⁣
It never lasts…⁣
⁣
You feel like an imposter,⁣
⁣
A fraud,⁣
⁣
So you self-sabotage to prove that truth⁣
⁣
The only way around your self image,⁣
⁣
Is to become aware of the inner work that is needed…⁣
⁣
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁?⁣
⁣
Put yourself in a community of men that are already doing what you need to do…⁣
⁣
Within 12 months,⁣
⁣
Staying in shape will be as second nature as being a GREAT DAD…⁣
⁣
You’re simply being what you believe you are…a Healthy Man…⁣

I’M NEVER, EVER STOPPING BECAUSE I KNOW MY WHY!

I used to be an absolutely FKIN pussy⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐣𝐨𝐛, ⁣
⁣
Because I didn’t back myself.⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭,⁣
⁣
Because I had a fear of rejection or judgement. ⁣
⁣
𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝, ⁣
⁣
Because I was scared of success and what I was capable of.⁣
⁣
That all changed when I got sacked after 12 years, ⁣
⁣
Dropped like a FKIN hot potato⁣
⁣
I had a choice…⁣
⁣
𝐄𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐲 ⁣
⁣
Or step the FK up and claim my life⁣
⁣
I chose to start Better Body Academy, ⁣
⁣
And go after what I knew I could do.⁣
⁣
When Cordia put an ultimatum on me, ⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐨 𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭, ⁣

⁣
𝗪𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐬𝐡𝐲𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝟐 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞, ⁣
⁣

⁣

⁣
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰,⁣
⁣
And still have an epic mission to fulfil with BBA⁣
⁣
Will I go missing on my wife and clients? ⁣
⁣
No way, I’ll step the fuck up⁣
⁣
Because once you know your Why⁣
⁣
You’re never, ever stopping!

WHY STUFF AIN’T HAPPENING FOR YOU, MATE!

See this image? ⁣
⁣
𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦…⁣
⁣
My partner, Cordia? ⁣
⁣
𝘐 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦…⁣
⁣
My coaching mission?⁣
⁣
Well… You get the point…⁣
⁣
Let me ask you a question…⁣
⁣
𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐊𝐈𝐍 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐲? ⁣
⁣
Every day like the last, ⁣
⁣
Nothing much to be excited about, ⁣
⁣
Not much to complain about either, ⁣
⁣
We’re just existing…⁣
⁣
About 6 years ago, ⁣
⁣
After feeling very ‘blah’ for a long period of time⁣
⁣
𝐈 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 – 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠’𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. ⁣
⁣
If I’m to die today, would I be happy with my life experience? ⁣
⁣
FK no! ⁣
⁣
So, I started to get very intentional about: ⁣
⁣
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥…⁣
⁣
𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘐 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥…⁣
⁣
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵…⁣
⁣
𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘐 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩…⁣
⁣
And so that I had a visual reminder every day, ⁣
⁣
I started working on a Vision Wall⁣
⁣
Something that I stare at to inspire me, ⁣
⁣
Particularly when I’m lacking motivation⁣
⁣
And it’s funny,⁣
⁣
EVERY SINGLE THING I’ve ever put on that vision wall, ⁣
⁣
Has come true! ⁣
⁣
Is it magic? I don’t think so…⁣
⁣
𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! ⁣
⁣
𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵…⁣
⁣
𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴,⁣
⁣
Helps you to say ‘no’ to stuff⁣
⁣
Helps you to go harder at stuff⁣
⁣
So, when I stopped ‘hoping’ things would happen,⁣
⁣
And got intentional about them,⁣
⁣
Everything changed.⁣
⁣
𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐎𝐧𝐞⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐦 – 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐓𝐰𝐨⁣

𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 – 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠⁣

And that’s what I’d love for you!

REDEFINING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MAN

Men wear a lot of masks⁣
⁣
Mostly to protect themselves from feeling too much⁣
⁣
Or to prevent them from getting hurt,⁣
⁣
Or failing and being judged⁣
⁣
I’ve always found this strange, ⁣
⁣
How we wear ‘𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬’ as a badge of honour⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝟔𝟎 ⁣
⁣
It’s really why I started Better Body Academy
⁣
I had a hunch that the beers were a cover, a mask⁣
⁣
That most men would like to feel a little better⁣
⁣
But they are scared to ask for help,⁣
⁣
Because it makes them look weak⁣
⁣
Well, in our own little way, ⁣
⁣
We’re making a dent in that idea…⁣
⁣
My goal is to see this core group of men grow⁣

Fuck dying 20 years younger than you need to because you were scared to ask for help⁣

STOP SAYING “I’M TIRED, I’M STUCK”

The old saying goes ‘𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯, 𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵, 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵’⁣
⁣
If we use our mind in the right way,⁣
⁣
We can create amazing things⁣
⁣
Every beautiful life,⁣
⁣
Every incredible building, ⁣
⁣
Every amazing relationship,⁣
⁣
And incredible health, ⁣
⁣
It all starts with USING our mind,⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐔𝐒…⁣
⁣
Whilst there might be some truth to the statements…⁣
⁣
‘𝘐’𝘮 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥…’⁣
⁣
‘𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘰 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦…’⁣
⁣
‘𝘐’𝘮 𝘴𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘤𝘬…’⁣
⁣
Continuing to repeat these statements ⁣
⁣
Only digs the hole deeper⁣
⁣
They become self-fulfilling prophecies ⁣
⁣
You essentially talk them into existence. ⁣
⁣
This is the reason why⁣
⁣
Every time I feel an ache in my body,⁣
⁣
And a little voice in the back of my mind suggests⁣
⁣
‘𝘑𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘭𝘥…’⁣
⁣
As soon as I catch it, ⁣
⁣
I take back control⁣
⁣
I say ‘𝘍𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 – 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘭𝘥’⁣
⁣
And right there, the story is stopped in its tracks⁣
⁣
There’s no endorsement of the story⁣
⁣
The story gets quashed by my conscious awareness. ⁣
⁣
Perhaps this might provide some insight for you…

HEART ATTACK - THE TRUE COST REVEALED: A WORTHY ROAD

Straight up – does your current health scare you? ⁣
⁣
Do you feel like you’re running a bit of a gauntlet? ⁣
⁣
Ok, here’s a mindset shift ⁣
⁣
If you ran a business and knew that investing $5K into a piece of machinery ⁣
⁣
Would return back 50x in revenue (ie. $250K)⁣
⁣
You’d buy it right? ⁣
⁣
That’s why it is relatively easy to justify buying something for your biz, ⁣
⁣
Spend money to make money ⁣
⁣
You can see the money go out, then come back in. ⁣
⁣
But investing a fraction of that into your health? ⁣
⁣
‘𝘕𝘰, 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦!’⁣
⁣
That’s because it’s not ‘money in, money out’.⁣
⁣
You see it as ⁣
⁣
‘Money in, maybe get fat off’⁣
⁣
‘Money in, maybe get stronger’⁣
⁣
‘Money in, maybe get more energy’⁣
⁣
But because ‘fat, strong and energy’ are NOT MONEY, ⁣
⁣
It’s hard to value them in the same way we value a ‘5x Return of Money For Money’⁣
⁣
So today, I’ve done some research…⁣
⁣
I started with Google – ‘𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬’⁣
⁣
The answer according to the National Business Group On Health is approximately $𝟏 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐔𝐒𝐃⁣
⁣
Heart attack is the most common cause of death in Australia. ⁣
⁣
Being overweight is the highest risk factor for heart attack. ⁣
⁣
So, pretend you joined a program that helped you lose 10-20kg (Eg. Better Body Academy)⁣
⁣
And pretend that meant you DIDN’T end up having a heart attack. ⁣
⁣
This means you saved yourself approximately $1 Million USD⁣
Relative to the piece of machinery, ⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝐱 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. ⁣
⁣
The problem is, we don’t think of our health as wealth. ⁣
⁣
We think of it as something to worry about when it’s too late. ⁣
⁣
And here, we’ve only talked financial implications, ⁣
⁣
The impact to your quality of life would be on another scale. ⁣
⁣
Food for thought…⁣

WHAT IF IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S YOUR SYSTEM

⁣Every day, ⁣
⁣
I speak to guys and girls that are just ready to give up⁣
⁣
They are so beaten down by trying so hard and failing⁣
⁣
 Failing to lose the stubborn fat,⁣
⁣
 Failing to get motivated, ⁣
⁣
 Failing to overcome the energy drain.⁣
⁣
They’ve tried and tried, ⁣
⁣
But keep spinning the wheels⁣
⁣
And eventually, they’re cooked and fall off⁣
⁣
And I don’t blame them⁣

⁣
And so, they give up⁣
⁣
A broken SYSTEM doesn’t make YOU a failure⁣
⁣
It makes the SYSTEM a failure⁣
⁣
And if only you realised this simple oversight,⁣
⁣
You’d change your approach ⁣
⁣
You’d change your SYSTEM. ⁣

IS TURNING 40 YOUR FORK IN THE ROAD?

My observations are this…⁣
⁣
𝟒𝟎 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫…⁣
⁣
It’s the age where we’ve gotta sort our shit out by⁣
⁣
I’m no financial advisor, ⁣
⁣
But if I’m still just burning all my cash at 40, I’m worried about my future. ⁣
⁣
And similarly, ⁣
⁣
If I’m hitting 40 and still denying my bad lifestyle, I’m worried about my future. ⁣
⁣
𝟒𝟎 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐬 𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞⁣
⁣
Or end up in the ditch. ⁣
⁣
Every year past 40,⁣
⁣
It seems to be harder to turn it around⁣
⁣
We’re more tired⁣
⁣
More injured⁣
⁣
More in pain⁣
⁣
And more believing in the idea that we’re ‘𝘣𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘹𝘪𝘯𝘨’⁣
⁣
𝘐𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵? ⁣

ANOTHER FKIN HEALTH KICK???

‘𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩… 𝘒𝘪𝘤𝘬’⁣
⁣
As in, a kick up the ass⁣
⁣
Like how my dad used to kick my brother’s ass (literally) when he played up⁣
⁣
It was enough to make him behave for a while, ⁣
⁣
But then the pain of the ‘𝘬𝘪𝘤𝘬’ wore off, ⁣
⁣
And he went back to doing what he did before⁣
⁣
Playing up….⁣
⁣
The point is, a ‘𝘬𝘪𝘤𝘬’ never lasts. ⁣
⁣

MY OPINION AROUND WEIGHT GAIN… TRUE OR FALSE?

⁣Am I a trained psychologist? No…⁣
⁣
But having working with 100’s of men and women on weight loss,⁣
⁣
I see a theme…⁣
⁣
𝐍𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭⁣
⁣
We don’t say, ‘𝘩𝘦𝘺, 𝘐’𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝟸𝟶𝘬𝘨 𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦’⁣
⁣
It just kinda happens, ⁣
⁣
Slowly and gradually and then gets out of control⁣

⁣
So, when our mind is in a tough place, ⁣
⁣
That ‘place’ is represented on the body physically⁣
⁣
Anyone that’s ever said ‘𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥’ 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵? ⁣

⁣
𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – we have so much on our plate and health just falls off as we struggle day to day⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐚 – something in our past causes us shame or guilt and binge eating or drinking is a way to express that guilt⁣

⁣
Looking at our life priorities or addressing the trauma, ⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞⁣
