And always do your best...

Hey Guys-

Do you want to:
-eat better?
-exercise more?
-lose weight?
-___________ (insert your own)

Actually, you don't really want these things, you want the feelings these things will give you.

What you really want is to feel:
-attractive
-alive
-excited
-successful
-__________ (insert your own)

Have you made a decision and figured out your fitness goals yet?

Okay, Good! Then follow these three simple steps.

1. Write it down (be specific)
2. Have a deadline written in stone. (avoid procrastination)
3. Tell others (put yourself under the gun and get accountable)

While skimming through "The Four Agreements" book the other day. I particularly like the "Always do your best" pointer. Once you decide what you want and feel, do your very best baby!.

Here are all four agreements.

The Four Agreements - By Don Miguel Ruiz

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word
to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of
your word in the directions of truth and love.

DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY.
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a
projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune
to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of
needless suffering.

DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS.
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.
Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid
misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement,
you can completely transform your life.

ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST.
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be
different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any
circumstance, simply do you best, and you will avoid self-judgment,
self-abuse, and regret.

And you know what, you'll have no regrets, if you do your very best!


With YOU in Mind,
