Last night a new client asked me if change was really possible.

Well, change is not only possible, it’s inevitable. The world is changing every day. And so are our bodies whether we want them to or not. (We’re either going forwards or backwards.)

I think what she really means is change really possible for her – because she’s scared of not being able to put forth the effort change requires.

Instead, of letting the thought of the word ‘change’ terrify you, why not focus on micro changes?

How about exercising for an extra 2 minutes? How about exercising for a total of 2 minutes?

How about waiting 5 minutes before you give in to eating junk food as opposed to eating it right away?

How about cooking one extra meal per week?

How about waking up 10 minutes earlier?

How about making your lunch?

How about drinking a glass of water with each meal?

How about emailing me every time you have a relentless craving?

How about starting your meal with either salad or veggies?

How about for just one meal per day, you make your meal last more than 20 minutes?

All of these are simple things that can and will lead to your success.

And best of all, change begets change. Small changes eventually turn into enormous changes.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, right?

The only way to get to where we want to be is to change. We can’t just go from the person you are now, to the person you want to be without changing anything.

And when you’re feeling overwhelmed, think micro.

What micro changes can you make today? Tomorrow? This week?

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…

Tip: Why not just start with today?

Happy Friday and happy April Fool’s day. I’ll tell ya, the interwebs are taking
April Fool’s day extremely seriously. Everywhere I go there’s another April
Fool’s prank or joke.

…and now I’m telling you to act like George Costanza?!

But this isn’t an April Fool’s joke.

We all remember the days of Seinfeld, right? I mean, it’s still on all the
time.

Who can forget the music? (Hear it in your head now?) It was one of my favorite
shows. And now Curb Your Enthusiasm is a favorite of mine which stars the
co-creator of Seinfeld.

Larry David is absolutely hilarious even more so because he doesn’t try to be.
And George Costanza was loosely based on Larry David.

LD has good intentions for the most part, as did George. However, it just seems
as though their natural self always leads them in the wrong direction.

I remember the episode when George was tying to pick up women and he started
doing everything opposite of what he’d normally do…

…and when he did the unfamiliar and what was uncomfortable —> he
succeeded! It worked. The ladies loved George!

Hmmm!

Seems like we can all learn from George…

For example, our usual self might see a cookie and then just eat it without
thinking. Or we might eat it because we feel entitled to it. Or because it’s a
reward. But, if we acted like George in this instance we’d see the cookie and
keep on going.

Or, let’s say we’re exercising. Our typical self would want to quit as the
discomfort/tension becomes greater.

But, if we acted like George in this instance and did the opposite of what
we’d normally do, we’d pretend the discomfort didn’t exist by focusing on
something else and push through it and keep on going.

Catch my drift?

Try doing the opposite of what you normally want to do. Just for the remainder
of today. You know, your short term, highly irrational self.

I think it’ll be pretty, pretty, pretty good!
