The elephant in the room

You know I am all about POSITIVE ACTION, right?

Basically, focusing on the actions that will move you toward whatever it is that you want.
Well, today I am going to get a little <gasp!> NEGATIVE.

It’s time to take inventory of the things that are getting in your way – the hurdles between you and your vision of success.

These hurdles drain your energy … resources … confidence … and make the journey from where you are NOW to where you want to BE longer and more challenging.

Here’s what I’m talking about.

Let’s say you have a goal of finally losing those extra pounds...
What are you doing NOW that gets in the way of making that happen?

If you’re serious about reaching success, it is time to start dealing with those obstacles.

At Applied Fitness we definitely do NOT recommend cutting out every obstacle at once (or maybe ever).

But it’s important to acknowledge them – because it takes their power away.
If you start by targeting those obstacles one by one, you’ll have a better chance of long-term success.

Before you know it … those OBSTACLES will become OPPORTUNITIES.

For example:
If you have a goal that includes eating healthier, but you also have a midafternoon cookie habit: what if you swapped out your cookie for some fruit and nuts?
If you have a goal that includes getting more fit but aren’t sure what to do or don’t have enough time: what if you got guidance from a coach who can help you discover your inner athlete (even in just short bursts of time)?
 
DO THIS: Write down ALL of the obstacles standing between you and your 2022 vision of success.

These can even include mindset obstacles like thinking your goal is “too big” or the feeling that you’re somehow “not worthy.”

THEN: identify which obstacles are the BIGGEST hurdles between you and your goal – and also which obstacles are the EASIEST for you to tear down.

TAKE ACTION: We recommend targeting these obstacles ONE AT A TIME … alternating an EASY hurdle with a BIG one!

Rather than trying to go cold turkey on all of your obstacles at once, find a REPLACEMENT or something you can do instead (like the cookie-apple example above).

At Applied Fitness, we specialize in helping people lose weight, regain their energy, confidence, and health with a proven plan for RESULTS.

If you’re ready to ramp up YOUR success and eliminate your obstacles, our FREE 3 Day Personal Training Jumpstart can help. Learn more here: Schedule Your Complimentary Session!

Make it an amazing day,

Brian Meisenburg

Slim down fast (7 options)

Want to drop some body fat? Today I have 7 simple and effective ways for you to shed that unwanted body fat. 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 conversion of fat into energy takes place in your liver, and this process requires that you be well hydrated. Drinking a gallon of water over the course of your day is a wonderful goal to aim for. This goal is easily met when you get into the habit of sipping water throughout the day, coupled with drinking a full glass before meals, upon waking and before bed. 2. Cut out Alcohol This fat loss tip is always met with groans, but despite its unpopularity it remains one of the most effective.
