Our Greatest Enemy

To my amazing clients,

Thanks for being patient I know I've missed a blog or two while I was prepping for the competition. It went really well and I'm so thankful for all of your love and support.
We all know how people talk to us can affect us on a daily basis. Especially growing up those kids that have parents that love and nurture with kind words of encouragement usually grow up healthy and happy. Now those that have been called a loser or told they were never going to amount to anything usually meets those expectations. Now, let me ask you this. How do you talk to yourself? BRIAN, I DON'T TALK TO MYSELF...I'm NOT CRAZY!!! lol Think about it. We talk to ourselves all the time. Is it positive affirmations? Is it encouraging? Or is it. I'm so fat. I can't do this. Nobody's ever going to want me. It goes on and on how discouraging and mean we can be the most important person alive. YOU!! Look in the mirror. Are you your greatest ally or greatest enemy? WE usually ARE OUR OWN GREATEST ENEMY! WE need to be our greatest ally at all times. I'm not saying to be unrealistic about our mistakes. We need to be able to analyze how we can be better on a daily basis. Make positive changes to be better but constantly beating yourself up is not the answer. Learn, get thou over it, and move the hell on! Do Not Live in the Past! Focus on the future! Believe it or not there was a time in my life I had extremely low self-esteem. I read about looking in the mirror and repeating. I love myself. Over and over again. Like 50 times a day. I LOVE MYSELF. I thought is sounded bat shit crazy. I did it though. It helped a ton. Once, I started actually thinking and believing in myself I naturally stopped a lot of the egotistical things I would do for attention. If you don't have confidence in the man or woman that you are it is pretty highly likely that our co-workers, bosses and family members think about you way you think of yourself.  Those of you that have trained with me a long enough know that I have a burpee rule for anytime to put yourself down in my presence. I want you to start applying this rule to when I'm not around. 10 burpees anytime you talk to yourself negatively. Start today! Remember, procrastination is the thief of dreams! Lets get serious about being kinder to the most important person out there.
Next weekend I'm going to try and write a blog from the GRAND CANYON. I'm excited. Get out and exercise frequently this week. Eat healthy and small frequent portions. Lots of Salads.
Text or call if you need anything.
Love,
Trainer Brian
