The last five blogs in the run up to this, number 1,000, have all drawn parallels from the process of writing a thousand blogs and of transforming your life and body.
And this one will be no different.
In the same way that not all thousand of the blogs are all that different.
People often ask me something along the lines of “How do you find a thousand different things to talk about?”
And the answer is……….
“I don’t”
After all, there’s only so many things you can say about exercise, eating better, improving health and fitness, hydrating, de-stressing, improving sleep, and so on.
I’d guess I’ve covered something like twenty different subjects.
About fifty times each on average.
But all from slightly different angles.
All different stories with a parallel or an interesting, thought provoking idea somewhere.
It’s always interesting to see which blogs get the biggest response.
Some I spend ages on and am really pleased with.
And get no response from.
Some are banged out pretty quick and I don’t think are anything special.
And get dozens of replies from people who’ve found it’s “made a penny drop” or something similar.
And vice versa, of course.
I don’t need to say thousand different things.
I just need to put a number of core messages across consistently, but differently.
And some may help.
It’s like how you don’t need variety for variety’s sake.
People often expect to feel restricted with the types of food and ways of eating we recommend.
But soon find that different combinations of dozens of meats, dozens of veg, dozens of fruit, dozens of other foods, dozens of cooking methods………..
Equates to thousands of different meals.
That they don’t need these hundreds of processed products as much as they thought they did.
And that while it’s good to keep things interesting and have variety in your exercise………..
You can stick to a central way of doing things that you’re happy doing, that gets results and that can be tweaked to keep interest.
I don’t do any “jogging” for example.
Nothing against it.
I just don’t like it.
Never have.
If someone likes it, fair play to them.
But many of our members don’t.
And I’d never feel the need to say they have to do it for doing it’s sake.
When they’ve found a way to exercise that they enjoy and is getting them results.
That has a near infinite number of variations over time to keep it from getting boring.
You get the idea.
You already know enough to get in better shape.
You don’t need thousands of different ways of doing things.
Find ways of doing things that you’re happy with (if you haven’t tried it already, this might it –> myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting).
And use variation withing that to keep it interesting.
And just keep doing it 🙂
