Few questions to think about…

1. Do you think under-performing students who are paired with students who excel in school (even though at times, they might feel inferior compared to the better student) do better or worse than those under-performing students who aren’t paired with anyone?

(Wow that was a long sentence. Here’s another one for ya…)

2. Do you think small business owners (who want to own a large business) who are paired with successful large business owners (even though at times, they might feel inferior compared to the big business owner) do better or worse than those small business owners who only hang around other small business owners?

In Gretchen Rubin’s Happiness Project – she set all sorts of resolutions for herself in order to try to make herself happier. (Spoiler alert: it worked!)

However, towards the end of her 1-year project she noticed that in some ways, she made herself less happy. How so? Well, because she was trying to improve, she was more aware of her faults and so she felt more disappointed when she slipped up.

In her book, she writes, “Happiness doesn’t always make you feel happy, and a heightened awareness of my failings, though salutary, wasn’t bringing me happiness in the short term – but in the long term, I was sure, I’d be happier as a consequence of behaving better.”

She was comforted by the words of Benjamin Franklin:

“On the whole, though I never arrived at the perfection I had been so ambitious of obtaining, but fell far short of it, yet as I was, by the endeavor, a better and happier man than I otherwise should have been had I not attempted it.”

I’ve said many times ignorance is bliss. Because once you’re aware of something, it’s hard to ignore it.

Sure, it’d be easier to watch TV all night eating whatever you please. Especially, if you don’t know any better.

But we all do know better.

And when there’s a knowing or a desire without action, unhappiness ensues.

When we’re trying to improve something, we become aware of everything in that aspect. We notice what we want to notice.

However, that can lead to feeling unhappy or inferior. “Ugh, why bother?” we think. Or, when we do make the inevitable poor choices (we’re not robots!) we feel extra bad about it because we’re so aware of it.

But that doesn’t mean trying isn’t worthwhile. I’m convinced (along with many others) trying will lead to far greater happiness than just accepting where we’re at with our health and fitness.

So next time we feel bad, and next time I point something out to you (try eating this or that, etc.) realize it’s only said with love.

There’s no such thing as perfection anyway. Only progress – and that feels awesome.

More awesome than just hoping and wishing.

Pierre Reverdy said, “There is no love; there are only proofs of love.”

I love that quote.

When I first read that it immediately made me think, “There is no being healthy
and fit; there are only proofs of being healthy and fit.”

We can say we are something – but unless we act, and ultimately do, we’re not
anything. Ugh! But it’s so much easier to just say we are than it is to do,
right?

If we want to be a certain way, then focus on acting a certain way. Eventually,
if we act that way enough – we’ll wind up being that way.

When I got the inspiration to start this service (over 4 years ago now), I was
at Ernst & Young. And after spewing advice to partners and colleagues and
clients, I realized something:

Everyone wants to be healthy and fit.

But, not everyone is.

Instead of focusing on being healthy and fit this week, focus on proofs of
being healthy and fit.

As I always say, it’s not a question of if – it’s a question of when we’ll get
to where you want to be – if we take this meal by meal, workout by workout and
day by day.

And that means focusing on proofs of being healthy and fit moment by moment.

When we’re faced with a challenging moment, it’s important to question
ourselves so we can remember what it is we really want but sometimes forget.

So, for the rest of the week, let’s try asking ourselves this question:
“What would a healthy and fit person do right now?”

Then do it.

Boom.

There is our proof.

–
What would a brutally honest person do right now? Well, they’d base their future on their past behavior – and if they have trouble staying consistent with their diet and/or exercise – they’d get themselves some support and accountability to ensure they actually stick with it.

We always say things like, “I’m going to start going to the gym 3 times this week,” or, “I’m going to start eating healthfully and stop eating junk,” but we’ve done this before — and our past behavior suggests that we never follow through.

A brutally honest person would stop deluding themselves. Because, sometimes, the hardest part about solving a problem is admitting that you have one in the first place.

If you’re ready to admit you have a consistency problem (like so many of us do) consider joining MyBodyTutor.com. It’s a 100% money back guaranteed proven program.

If it acts like a duck all the time, it’s a duck. It doesn’t matter if the duck
thinks it’s a cat.

It’s still a duck as far as the rest of us are concerned.

I find myself telling people to ‘be’ who they want to be. I also find myself
saying ‘act’ like you really want to act. (I say really as if our long term,
rational mind was running the show – not our short term, irrational mind.)

The problem with ‘being’ though is it’s too ambiguous. What does ‘be’ actually
mean? ‘Act’ on the other hand is actionable.

Doing is possible. But ‘being’?

You could spend your time wondering if what you say you are is really you. Or
you could just act like that all of the time…
