What does your DID it List look like?

What does your DID it List look like?

I was out running just the other day on a day when there was no one else in the woods.  I always enjoy making tracks in the snow before anyone else has had the opportunity to.  In fact, I was on the same trail two days later and my tracks were still the only ones on a portion of the trail.  

A lot of miles means a lot of time to think.  I'd like to share a few thoughts with you that I had this weekend on the trail.  I tried to embed video on this post but was unsuccessful.  I plan to include that soon independently.
 

I encourage you to:

Dream - write it down without even imagining how
or what it looks like to get there.


Imagine - begin creating a plan for how you'll make that dream a reality with metrics and building blocks.  Don't worry if those plans or metrics change with time.  As you grow, learn, develop, and gain experience the picture will become clearer.

Do - You've Dreamed about your Why and Imagined  a framework for making that a reality.  Now it's time to
Do It! 


Once you've done it, then you DID it.  You Dreamed it - You Imagined it - You DID it!!!  Pick a DREAM, write it down and get Doing!!

What's Your Why?

     What is Your Why?

I know… 2 “question” words in 1 question.

It’s one that we are asking ourselves all the time.  Our lives are our consequences good or bad, positive or negative and our consequences come from the decisions we make every day.

We all make poor decisions sometimes that result in poor consequences.  We all make great decisions sometimes as well which result in Great consequences.  

Think about this for just a moment…

Imagine you have to make a critical decision.  I’m not talking about the type of decision that you would make about the color of your car or where you’re going to go for dinner tonight.  

I’m talking about this…

In my experience as a Trainer I’ve sat with people who really truly do not know why they do most things.  They are so stuck in the habits that they formed when they were 25 years old.  It’s difficult to get them to take you seriously when you start talking about goals, aspirations and dreams because it’s been so long since they thought about those things.  They don’t have an answer.

I challenge you this today. Not only what it is that you want, desire, dream about, but WHY it is that you want, desire, and dream about those things.  I want this. I want that.  Why?  Often times I don’t even know.  Because so and so has it, it looks cool, I think it might be fun, superficial “Why’s”. Let’s ask “Why” differently.  

-              Because I want to Live longer so I can see my kids grow up and be active with my grandkids

-              Because I want to prove to myself that I CAN instead of constantly telling myself why I can’t

-              Because I want to live life to its fullest!

-              Because I AM capable of making a difference in this world

I’m not here to tell you what your “Why” should be.  I’m just suggesting that you go ahead and dream a little bit.  Think about not only what you think you can have, do, give; but entertain the idea of accomplishing things that you would never think possible. Step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself.  DREAM!

ACTION:

Don’t think about how you’re going to make what happen.  Think about Why you do what you do.  Once you’ve got that Why, pick a what
and imagine how that looks.  I challenge you to write it down BEFORE you have a plan. That way the doubts don’t have a chance to sneak in.  

WE ARE CAPABLE!! 
Regardless of our past circumstances, look ahead, make it better, give what you have, share what you know, and never stop examining your Why!

What's your "reason"... chances are I've heard it before and have a REASONABLE SOLUTION

In my 5 years of experience in the fitness industry I've heard a number of different "reasons" why people aren't exercising.  I usually respond with a very reasonable solution.  Often times, however, my reasonable solution isn't reasonable enough.  That doesn't have to be the case.  YOU are capable of much more than you even think possible.  Dream, believe they can come true, take steps to make them happen, and enjoy the ride!! 


Here are my REASONABLE SOLUTIONS to these "reasons":

"reasons"

I can't
Not yet
I will later
It hurts
I don't know what to do
It's boring
I don't have time
It's too expensive
I'm embarrassed
It's too cold
It's too hot
It's raining
It's snowing

REASONABLE SOLUTIONS

Yes you can!
Then when?
When?
Not as much as the 50 extra pounds you carry with each step
I'll show you
How can we make it fun?
Just get off the couch for 2 hours every night and MOVE
Do you have shoes and clothes?
I understand, let's talk about how to overcome that
Dress warm
Hydrate
You won't melt
Beautiful!
If you can hear yourself giving these "reasons" and it makes you a little bit upset, you should probably get out there and move because you know you could benefit from eating right and moving more.  We have ONE life people and choices about how we live it.  Those choices also effect how long it lasts and the quality of our time here.
