Today's blog is about
The Three "C"s and the essential need for each of them when initiating a LIFE CHANGE.
The Three "C"s is something I created to help my clients understand the nature of getting Fit, Happy and Healthy - successfully without any gimmicks. They are:
Control, Choices, and Consistency
Control- This element to a life change is essential as one MUST exercise
CONTROL over any aspect of their life they are seeking to change. When one is trying to change their body- either lose weight, gain weight, gain muscle, whatever their desire- they must take control over their body. This means- one must exercise control over the nutrients / food that goes into the body and ensure that they are getting the proper exercise and rest needed to cause the change they are seeking. This is one of the more challenging of the elements of a life change.
Choices- This element of a life change is essential because everything in life basically boils down to choices. We all have choices to make and those choices we make will all result in different outcomes. We must CHOOSE to eat healthier foods- even if it is not what we want at that particular moment (that is assuming your life change is in fact more important than eating the unhealthy food choice at that moment). No one has ever fallen ill without a Milky Way- although you may feel ill- when you choose not to eat it......Each person who endeavors into a LIFE CHANGE must realize that it is a CHOICE they are making- no one is forcing them to do it.....it is all about what you want.....
Consistency- This is a very interesting element to the LIFE CHANGE process. So often I hear- "I was eating right and exercising.....I did great- but then......"
A life change is exactly that- a LIFE CHANGE...not a week change or a month change. If you have a party coming up, a contest or special event that you want to lose weight for- that is a temporary goal- you do what you have to to get to where you want to be on that date and then go back to your normal routine. A LIFE CHANGE does not have an end date.....in order to truly be Fit, Happy and Healthy one must be CONSISTENT with their CHOICES and in using CONTROL. To change your body takes time. You did not get unhealthy in a week or a month- you certainly cannot get healthy in that short amount of time either. You must be
CONSISTENT.
Until next time,
To Your Success and Health,
