My Nanna would often insist on paying if we all went out for a meal.

 

Between 7 adults and 5 kids it could easily be best part of a couple of hundred pounds.

 

When she was younger a meal out was probably something like “2 and 6”.

 

Although I must admit, I don’t really know what that means 😉

 

By the time I’m in my 80s I’ll probably have to pay a grand to take the whole family out.

 

More than the cost of my first car!!!!!!!

 

Milk will be a fiver a pint.

 

Beer maybe 15 or 20 pounds a pint.

 

But you know what the only other option is?

 

Death.

 

Death or inflation.

 

It’s one or the other.

 

Fact of life.

 

And, when you look at it that way, inflation doesn’t seem so bad.

 

In fact, it’s brilliant.

 

The more expensive stuff gets………

 

The longer you are living!!!!!!!

 

#############

 

An example of a ‘paradigm shift’.

 

A change in the way you can perceive the same situation.

 

A change in what pre-existing beliefs and experiences we chose to frame and ‘see’ what’s in front of us.

 

Often to a way that serves us better.

 

Now way is right or wrong.

 

All a matter of opinion.

 

But certain paradigms can make things harder for us.

 

And others can make them easier.

 

New ninjas often go through a number of paradigm shifts during their early weeks with us.

 

As they shift from seeing the cost of healthy living as an investment.

 

The ‘time’ they put into sessions being time they get back – both through increased productivity now and living longer.

 

The the financial cost is worth it for the improvements to the way they feel.

 

That exercise isn’t about punishment and deprivation but about reward and celebration.

 

That healthy eating is about exploring the thousands and thousands of tasty, nutritious meals they can have……..

 

Rather than depriving themselves of certain things.

 

That it’s not about willpower and motivation………

 

But about finding a path your enjoy walking!

 

A path you’d be happy to walk for the rest of your days 🙂

 

 

Much love,

 

Jon ‘Half a Bob’ Hall and Matt ‘Shove Ha’Penny’ Nicholson

 
P.S. Our new ninjas got off to a great start yesterday. Check myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting if you like the idea of making forward progress between now and 1st Jan. A time frame that most will gain a stone. And, remember, we have the ‘5lbs Christmas Leeway’ on challenges through December 🙂
