I don’t feel like it today

There are going to be days you don’t feel like doing anything.

I get it!

I’ve been there 1000x before.

But want to know the secret to achieving any goal in life?
Something is better than nothing.

It doesn’t matter what goal you are trying to accomplish, ANY progress is better than no progress at all.

You are human.

And to be human means that you are not going to be motivated 100% of the time.  In fact even if you were motivated 80% of the time, that would be a LOT.

Yet we beat ourselves up because we feel as though we should be like Mel Gibson from Braveheart rallying ourselves to victory 24 hours a day.

It’s insane that we think this way.

You are always going to go through ebbs and flows.  

For periods of time you will be highly motivated.  Other times you are barely scraping by.
It’s during the times that you are barely scraping by that doing something is better than doing nothing.

And I do truly mean that you can do ANYTHING.

It doesn’t matter what it is or for how long.  It just needs to take you one step closer to your goal.

Walk for 10 minutes.

Eat two carrots.

Stretch for 5 minutes.

Do 20 pushups.

Meditate or do breathing work for 3 minutes.

Read 5 pages of a book.

If you did any of the above would it be better than doing nothing?  Of course!

When you finish, give yourself a pat on the back and move on.  Tomorrow is a new day.

The biggest benefit to doing something is that you feel accomplished.  You kept the commitment to yourself that you would move towards your goal.  No matter the pace, you kept moving.  

Small consistent actions = BIG results.

Remember, consistency creates success.

Dedicated to your success,

Brian

While fat loss can be quite frustrating, these 7 strategies are proven to help you slim down fast. 1. Drink a Gallon of Water Water is always a crucial element for proper bodily functions, and even more so when fat loss is your goal.

The Silent Struggle: Why Losing Weight Is So Hard for Women Over 40

As we age, our bodies undergo a myriad of changes, and for women over 40, one of the most frustrating and emotional challenges can be losing weight. It's a silent struggle that many face, often feeling alone and without support, as the world around them seems to focus on the beauty and fitness of youth. But why is it so hard for women over 40 to lose weight? And why is this struggle so emotional? Firstly, let's talk about the physical changes that come with age. As women approach menopause, their estrogen levels drop, which can lead to a slower metabolism. This means that even if they're eating the same amount of food as they did in their 20s and 30s, they may still gain weight. Additionally, muscle mass decreases as we age, which further slows down metabolism, making it even harder to shed those stubborn pounds. But the challenges don't stop there. As women over 40 juggle work, family, and personal commitments, finding the time and energy to exercise
