So, we’re into 2022.

Happy New Year 🙂

Hopefully an all round more enjoyable year than 2020 and 2021.

I’ll be honest, I wrote this bad boy back in 2021.

Who knows what might have happened since then.

You may or may not know that we used to run a monthly find out more meeting for what we do.

We changed to the application system and phone calls as we came out of Lockdown.

Partly because of people’s concerns about COVID.

And partly because I’d been meaning to try it for a while on the recommendation of others.

At those meetings we always had a member in, explaining their experiences to those in attendance.

To help people get an idea of a member’s perspective of what we did.

For the last however many months, Mark had been that member.

Many current members recount how it was his story that gave them the confidence to give it a go.

Anyway, Mark would usually mention that there was one particular blog that gave him the nudge to try us out.

It would’ve been published pretty much exactly two years ago.

“New Year, Old You?” it was called.

It covered how many of us will be inundated with the “New Year, New You” message over the coming weeks.

Text messages and emails from every gym we’ve ever joined.

Ads on t’internet.

And we get it.

It sounds compelling, doesn’t it?

We’ve got Christmas “out of the way”.

The diary is a bit clearer.

We’re probably not feeling out best after the festivities and, let’s be honest, most of the last two years.

Time to work on that “New You”!

The thing is though, you don’t need a new you.

There’s nothing wrong with you as you are.

What we don’t need is to “add to” you to improve you.

But, perhaps, to strip back some of the extra that’s accumulated over the years.

The habits, beliefs and mindsets that have built up over those years that make this all harder than it has to be.

That real you is in there still.

We don’t need to change that.

You’re perfect as you are.

Just chip away at some of the stuff that’s built up around it.

Reveal that perfect statue that’s got caught up in the rest of the block of marble.

And, just maybe, this link is the first step to do that –> www.myrise.co.uk/apply
