Monday m.e.l.t.: Are you comfortable?


Not referring to lying in bed, wrapped around a soft blanket with the AC cranking, no. I"m referring to your career, exercise and nutrition. Do you feel at ease in those settings? If so, there is big reason for concern.

When you get comfortable, your personal growth slows down and eventually stops.

I challenge YOU to get uncomfortable and get a little scared doing something.

Last week I was coaching our large group personal training sessions and I found myself freeze for 3 seconds (which felt like 30 minutes) and just look around.

I saw our members absolutely killing it…

Some who previously hated fitness…

Some who use to just walk on the treadmill at the gym and call it a workout…

Some who have always been fit but wanted a new challenge…

Regardless of their background, each person was fighting their hardest to get through the challenging workout; sweating, grunting, shaking…

NOT ONE person stopping or quitting…

That’s inspiration. And that’s how you achieve personal growth.

I’m not just referring to shedding body fat, toning up and increasing their post metabolic rate.

I’m talking about the sense of accomplishment these warriors feel after a workout. In large part, that’s a subconscious reason a lot of us train hard.

Sure we want to look good but it’s the mental benefits that we continue to chase after; feeling good about ones self, increasing self confidence and the positive hormonal flow kick out feelings of depression.
What are YOU doing that is challenging?

Write on a piece of paper or type in a word document; family, career, fitness and nutrition. Then, write one challenge you are or will be (starting today) working towards under each category.

To Getting You in Awesome Shape,

JC
