The Power of Positive Impact by Adriel Yapana

Greetings Glendale-

Today's talk is on positive influence. My life is so much fun. For one,
because I get to work closely with others who themselves have great energy.

My client, Joseph, (Watch Joe Transform - that same Joseph) and I worked early this morning and as always, he has plenty of questions to ask me, from results he's seeing and feeling and to training and nutrition, which I enjoy answering or finding answers to. He also comes in with a positive attitude.

What a great combination to have between a trainer and a client.

Let me say, it's a super blessing! (So Thank You Joe!)

Surround yourself with people that have a positive impact on your life. Stir up that passion and throw yourself right slam into the middle of it. Holding yourself accountable will help you through the challenging days (such as working out right after work).

When you share your goals with those around you, you indirectly put pressure on yourself to achieve those goals. When you keep your goals to yourself and not tell it to anyone, the tendency for you to give up is much greater as you could always set the same goal again and again and nobody would know of your failure. Just adjust the time you've allowed yourself to reach that goal, and/or adjust the goal itself

Then break down your goal into smaller targets so you can easily hold yourself accountable to complete it. If you find yourself always surpassing the immediate goal in front of you then you should raise your expectations. Once you see what your body can handle you can slightly increase the level of resistance, giving yourself a stretch goal to shoot for. I will write more about goals in the coming posts...

Happy 4th guys!

With YOU in mind,

Adriel
