It is our nature to take what we have for granted.
You don’t realise what you have until it’s gone.
We miss the job we hated once we got fired.
We miss the old car we were driving once it breaks down.
And we don’t realise how good we have it until we throw in the towel.
The number one reason people come to see me is to feel happier and healthier.
They aren’t happy. And they want this to change.

Once they get started and as they check off these goals their happiness increases.

But what happens when they reach that initial goal? Are they happy? Do they still get that sense of satisfaction? It's so rewarding helping people turn their life around.

What isn’t rewarding is seeing that hard work. Those blood, sweat and tears being thrown away. They achieve fantastic results, then they quit. Only to go around in circles again.

Why?

A lot of the time when you first start to exercise you have a big goal. A goal that can be measured by numbers. As each number keeps changing it’s another tick, another win. This makes the client happy and keeps them going.

The problem is once the initial goal is reached the next goal becomes more fluid, immeasurable and ultimately less rewarding.

sometimes when the goal is reached and the next goal requires more effort. Instead of keeping what they have, They stop putting the energy into maintaining the healthy lifestyle as it isn’t as rewarding in the short term. So other things creep back in that give them pleasure.

Don’t give up on the things that serve you well and replace them with false feelings of happiness which take you further from your goals.

Don’t throw away the positives which you work hard for.

Turf the bad relationships and shitty habits that are holding you back.

Work hard and fight for things that bring you love and joy and don’t listen to those who say otherwise.

Listen to those who encourage you to do your best. They are also the same ones who will be by your side in the tough times.

Don’t be encouraged to quit on yourself. There can be a million reasons to quit, but you only need one to succeed.

You know what is best for you, so don’t give up on yourself.

You won’t know what you have missed until it’s gone.

Don’t throw away all your great work.

Hang in there and have fun
