You have to grow into your vision.

Over 6 years ago, I knew I wanted to impact my clients more in overall lifestyle not just exercise. It’s the lifestyle factors that effect our training results overall. So that’s when I decided to brand The Real Life Changer and offer more tools to provide a better client experience and help develop more longterm results. At the time I didn’t know exactly how I was going to get there or what my daily duties were going to look like, but now I’m living it, and grew into that name and the brand we wanted to build.

How did that happen? Small, daily actions of personal growth. Very uncomfortable, ugly at times, but I was committed. It made decisions on other projects, activities, sometimes even clients to say NO to if it wasn’t going to help me get any closer to my vision.

Have you ever been checking your phone… or vegging on the couch.. and suddenly start thinking about a goal you want to work toward?

It’s a little push from deep within you- something you can feel in your gut. Almost everyone has felt this way at one point or another.

Maybe you finally want to clean up your eating to improve health.

Maybe you want to start working out so you get your energy back and feel stronger.

Whatever the exact push is, author and motivational speaker Mel Robbins call this “an instinct for change.”

She says that unless you do smoothing about it within 5 seconds, that instinct will die. She came up with the 5-second rule to help keep that instinct alive. ( This rule I still live by to this day)

Basically, as soon as you have that instinct, you count backwards.. 5,4,3,2,1 and then guy DO IT! And guess what? It works. Your brain wants to protect you and keep you safe and comfortable l.

As a result, it sees change as a threat.. so it will do whatever it can to shut down that change, including sending you a bunch of thoughts to keep you doing the same-old, same old.

That’s why it’s important to take action on those gut-level urges IMMEDIATELY..

This can apply to so many areas of your life:

• walking into the kitchen to meal prep

• speaking up at a meeting at work

• Lacing up your shoes for a workout or run

This can lead to LIFE-CHANGING results now and into the future!

The more direct action you take toward your goals, the more in control you’ll be over your life. This will lead you to bigger urges , bigger actions- bigger success.
