Have you decided?

I came across a profound saying by Boris Pasternak, "Man is born to live and not to prepare to live."

Many times we still feel secure by staying at this side of the fence and letting us to belief that it's ok to be unhealthy or not staying an active lifestyle for reasons we only know. The reasons could be not enough time, too much work to do, not enough money or knowledge or any other reasons out there.

I acknowledge that we all have problems and challenges. However if we don't make that decision to cross the fence and 'decide' to live that active lifestyle and to be able to enjoy healthy nutritious meals, we will never be able to experience the true results that we all desire.

It only takes 1 thing to get from this side of the fence of living an unhealthy lifestyle to the other side, that's living a healthy lifestyle and that's by making a DECISION.

Decide that you are going to eat something healthy today. Decide that you will stop overeating. Decide that you will walk more. Decide that you will overcome that disease that you have. Decide that you had been carrying the fats for a long time now. Decide that you will go to the store and get a pair of exercise shoes. Decide that you will sleep earlier so you can get up to exercise. Decide that you will eat less red meat. Decide you will add a green leafy vegetable each and every time you have lunch. Decide you will have at least 1 fruit a day. Decide that enough is enough and it's time to move on.

Get Moving!

You become your rituals.

If you have an area of your life that you are really good at, look at it and ask what did you do all these years that made you so good at it.

All that you did were the rituals that made you who you are now.

So, if you have a problem in an area of your life, let's say you can't seem to lose weight, what are the rituals that you are doing that gives you those negative results. It could be you are not consuming enough fiber rich foods for breakfast or you constantly enjoy soft drinks whenever you feel tired and when you finish a meal or you tend to create a very busy schedule that you will then have an excuse not to go and exercise. These counter productive rituals will never give you the weight that you are longing for.

We need to change the rituals now. So, what are productive rituals you want to have in order to gain control of the results in your life?

Maybe you want to consider these rituals:
1. Get up earlier about 30 minutes so you can go for a light workout.
2. Constantly drink plain water so you are not depended on coffee or caffeinated soft or energy drinks.
3. Have a high fiber breakfast.
4. Give yourself some time in the evening to exercise.
5. Never overeat.

Get moving!

Capture your motivation boosters

I was watching Susan Boyle's first performance in Britain's Got Talent and I thought it was so inspiring. Being in Piers Morgan's shoes, I knew exactly how he felt cause the performance was truly the surprise ever. It was just superb.
I told myself that it was so inspiring that I will bookmark it so I'm able to watch it again one day when let's say, when probably my motivation is low.
At that point, I realized that Susan Boyle's performance was my motivation booster. In our lives, there are people, circumstances and events that takes up and drains our energy and motivation. That is why we need these boosters to help regain back our motivation.
To have a motivation booster, there is no special requirement. If it can assist you to start something, I would think that would be great already.
Susan Boyle might or might not inspire you. Therefore motivation boosters are personal. If others find it motivating but you don't think, move on and find something that does.
Save them, bookmark them or capture them. You must be able to view/visit/ use your motivation boosters again.
Have a library of them and so motivation can be at your disposal and you feel good instantly.
