20 Jun Head Spinning Thoughts
I’ve been told my passion for your weight loss is contagious. That’s terrific because I KNOW you can and will succeed when you implement the tools I share in my courses. It happens all the time, so why not you too, eh?
Together our determination will strengthen when we incorporate some of the fun and positivity you’ll experience with me that gets you your super results! Side effects in the first week might include: better sleep, more energy, lose bloat, massive hope. Following up with strong motivation!
This time of year we get bombarded with challenges, products, and competitions to get you stoked for the new year, but at this time we’re at the bottom of the first quarter of the year.
It kind of hurts my heart and makes me wince a little because fads and gimmicks and products can be expensive, non-sustainable, cause injury and illness (yep, it’s happened to friends of mine!). These things I try and get people off of. Getting into the head space of achieving weight loss for an ‘event’ never holds water for long. What happens when that event is over? It has to be easily maintainable and more importantly it is done for true health and aging well.
Here is what I’ve found. Skills and tools learned and implemented that actually get your results, no longer need to be “paid for month after month” are still the best way to go.
Skills actually set you up for success. Consistent, life-long success. They give you confidence. Do we need a tweak from time to time? Sure, perhaps. Solid skills are something you can always revisit when you get off track.
You see, about 22 years ago, my guts used to torment me. I had leaky gut and IBS, plus a plethora of other health issues. I was always fatigued and bloated by the end of my day among a myriad of other irritating things. I used to try so many things to feel better and lose weight and not surprisingly, none truly worked. They were expensive and not sustainable.
I remember seriously wanting to whip out my bank card anytime someone told me about the new miracle way to lose weight for the new year.
Our rational minds know that there are no quick fixes out there. We know it, but we still want to take the easy way out, without much change and accountability. It is what it is when you’re a human! But we know there are not any quick fixes for this weight loss stuff.
As years passed I found an easier way, a more simple, natural way to heal my guts, raise my energy and boost my metabolism and immune system. No systems, or pills, or drinks. I’m talking about learning how to eat correctly. Many have forgotten how easy it really is.
All my clients get my Eating Guide packed with great information.
However, over the years talking with clients and friends I realized how confusing it can be. I actually think it’s gotten worse. So many folks that hire me tell me they got zero results AND get hurt in the process at some places. What?!
The cycle of disappointments and self-sabotage that sometimes ensues when we spend all this money and nothing changes can be disappointing. We cycle downwards… thinking “well, that was a waste of time and money.”
Take a step back. Really ask some pertinent questions. Are you being taught skills that once results are acquired you can “go on your own?”
Just like anything else you want to learn and succeed at you hire someone to teach you those skill sets. Piano? Calligraphy? Language? Any job of any sort? You have to be trained and taught. For the first six weeks you feel silly, dumb even b/c you don’t know what you don’t know! But then all of a sudden things start happening and you start to become more confident in what you’re doing. Six months later you’re a rock star!
I have actually spent over $1,000 on a course or two when I wanted to learn a skill or gain knowledge. Look for value and price. Make sure that you are getting the best bang for your buck. I do a little research, price compare. Looking for good written reviews… not just ‘five stars.’ I want to hear what people say!
Basics and simplicity are sometimes overlooked. People think the more they sweat and can’t walk the next day the better the workout.
This simply is not true and it’s where a lot of folks find me, and by ditching this mindset – find their success.
Think about desiring a skill set to lose weight instead of ingesting something expensive and non-sustainable for the rest of your life. Just a thought!
It can be a crazy time of year! I am one of those who always cheer when the crowds come into the gym for the first 6 weeks after 1/1! I am always rooting for them to stay, keep pushing, keep saying YES.
There is much love in these words and big hugs! My desire for your success is SO huge and makes me so happy when you find your successes here. I simply love it and am so grateful for the opportunity all these many years.
How about we put you on your path to success weight loss, health and aging well that is easily sustainable throughout life’s bumps.
Just call. I’d love to chat for a few minutes and see how we can make that happen for ya!
Big hugs and blue skies,
Cin
