Wednesday Motivation !!! By Mike Jones -ACSM, CPT

This weeks topic is about taking your HIGH's & LOW's of 2014 and bringing what you've learned/learned from to 2015!

Take on 2015 learned knowing that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today or that day, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, losing their way, and motivation to keep going. learn that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." Sometimes we are blessed to have life sometimes gives us a second, third, and fourth chance to overcome adversary…. So don't wait for the second chance to break out of your shell!. You shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back in 2015. And whenever you push, fight, or make a decision on something... decide something with an open heart, and usually you'll make the right decision.

Getting to those results an weight losses your looking for means that sometimes your going to have that soreness, aches, and pains, but because you have pains, you don't have to be one... Every day you should reach out and touch someone (not physically lol) but mentally. But be very careful as in how you do so because people react different ways to certain things. Even if they may not show it or not, people love a sense of security and support, or even just a friendly pat on the back to let them know you noticed them working their butts off!. We FIGHT, we SWEAT, we CRY, We FAIL & FALL again, but RISE shortly after with still with a lot to learn but at least were back on our feet. People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel, what influenced them, what they read, saw, and conquered!

We can all start but being more realistic with ourselves and taking steps in the right direction rather than causing ourselves road blocks made of excuses...You can't live an unhealthy life in other areas and expect one thing to solve all of your problems, but you can slowly add a piece here and there, continue self-experimenting (not trying something for a week and then quitting because it didn't get your instant results). Gradually develop a health/Workout strategy that works for you, your goals, and your lifestyle. When you feel things aren't working, then shape up, regroup, and break down what changes could be made or tweaked. And Consult with someone other than yourself too. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Things, magazines, people, gym's all inform you, sure... But the only way to make progress and change in your life is to make new choices, take action, and make adjustments based on the results

Hope everyone is with me on this train of thought...
