EXCUSES

Okay this may sound like I am being insensitive. How could I possible understand what it is like facing these barriers? I’m a ‘personal trainer’ I ‘love’ working out and eating healthy? However I face these barriers a lot more than you will realise. In fact some on the daily and these barriers have effect on all areas of my life. Some weeks are better than others ya know.

  • 1.Do I lack Motivation- YES
  • 2.Do I lack Willpower-YES
  • 3.Do I lack Time-YES
  • 4.Love food-YES
  • 5.Kids -Don’t have any yet
  • 6.Consistency-YES
  • 7.Laziness-YES
  • 8.Myself -Come back to this one
  • 9.Chocolate –YES, Wine- NO
  • 10.Lack of Knowledge-YES
  • 11.Lack of preparation-YES
  • 12.Self Doubt-Nearly everyday

Lets comeback to 8.Myself, you see all these barriers relate to myself.

Who’s fault is it that I lack time?-MY FAULT Who’s fault is it that I lack motivation? MY FAULT

I hope you get were I am going with this. It all comes down to you and facing your barriers/excuses head on. Taking ownership over them. Stop blaming others for the barriers you face and put the power back in your own hands. This is by no means a sign of weakness but one of humility and courage.
