Anyone else find that when they have kids, they start to say to them the same things our parents said to us?
Often the things we found annoying at the time.
I’ve found myself saying a few of my Dad’s old sayings recently.
“If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well” I quite like.
The other day I said “To thine own self be true” to my kids.
Which my old man used to say a lot (probably still does).
And I straight away saw it in a different light having, probably, never said it before.
I used to think of it in just a “Be yourself” type way.
But it can also mean “don’t lie to yourself”.
Because we, as a species, do that quite a lot, don’t we?
Rarely is it a conscious lie.
But if we’re saying something that just isn’t true, maybe viewing it as lying to ourselves could be a powerful way to change what we do.
We might chose not to, of course.
Our prerogative.
We can live our lives, however we like.
But, let’s be true to ourselves about why?
We’ve mentioned before that the dictionary definition of exercise is “activity requiring physical effort, carried out to sustain or improve health and fitness”.
No mention of location, duration, frequency, type or anything else.
Just has to be physical movement and enough of it to mean the body maintains or improves in some way.
So, a single set of squats or press ups as fast as you can for 60 seconds is exercise.
Don’t believe me, just try it and see how you feel after.
And, whatever else is happening in our lives, do we ever not have the time to do that in a day?
One minute out of 1,440.
60 seconds out of 84,600.
So, any time we say we haven’t had time to exercise, are we lying to ourselves?
Not being true to thine own self?
Any time we say we “had to” eat a certain way or or “couldn’t” eat another………
Are we being true to ourselves?
We can, of course, chose to spend our time on things other than exercise.
We can choose to eat however we like.
No one should tell you otherwise or make you feel bad for your decisions.
We just need to be true to ourselves about our reasons 🙂
Much love,
Jon ‘Waste not, want not’ Hall and Matt ‘A stich in time’ Nicholson
P.S. Don’t feel you can ‘fit in’ or ‘do’ our Group Transformation Programme? I’d wager 95% + of our success stories felt the same before they started with us……………. –> myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting.
