WHY do you want to get fitter?

I wake-up demotivated quite often.

My work ethic is really good, to be perfectly honest.

I can stick to habits and routines designed to achieve my goals for a LONG time.

But damn, isn't it crap when you've been working hard yet not seeing results?

I stop doing the work when I feel like that.

> cheat on my diet

> skive off work

> skip training

> stay up late watching TV

THE NEXT DAY IS THEN A WRITE OFF!

Motivation is at an all time low

My body feels tired and my belly is bloated

My muscles are actually MORE achey and tight when I don't train (probably because my warm-up and lighter sets have a nice tonic effect on my muscles and nerves)

But progress definitely stops.

Why does this happen?

In my opinion, there are a few obstacles

Today, choose success

There are two kinds of people

1) Those who think success is about luck

2) Those who think luck is for losers

Because, success is about HARD WORK.

But what does that really mean?

It means doing the stuff you don't want to do when you don't want to do it.

If you can push past that, then you will be successful.

WHY you must crush your demons...

waking up depressed and tired is a problem

because how can you perform at your best if you don't feel very good?

I've struggled with this for years

from the old days when I used to work in a bank and hated going to work each day

to the tough business times where getting out of bed is a struggle (and I wasn't sleeping great either)

how can we solve this?

CRUSH YOUR DEMONS

Each day, wake up and EXPECT to feel like shit

But have a process to improve your mood

I call this the 'crushing demons' ritual
