If you’re on Facebook or have ever been a member of gym (or, of course, both) then you’ve probably been inundated recently.

With ads, emails, texts and, maybe, flyers.

From gyms.

Wanting you to (re)join.

“New Year, new you” they’ll be promising.

As they have been for decades.

I had to wear a T-Shirt with that on when I worked at Fitness First Derby 17 years ago.

I’ve never been mad keen on the phrase, to be honest.

Kinda suggests there’s something ‘wrong’ with us as we are.

Sure, we may want some change(s).

But, often, it’s more about ‘stripping stuff away’.

Maybe all the challenges and internal dialogue that have built up over the years.

That make this all harder than it has to be.

The statue we seek has become buried in a block of marble.

That we need to chip away at.

Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add.

But nothing left to take away.

Much love,

Jon ‘Auld Lang Syne’ Hall and Matt ‘Jools Holland’ Nicholson

P.S. Who else has sent you useful, thought provoking blogs for somewhere between a day and seven years now? Nope, thought not. Why try same old approach that doesn’t work for most again this year? Check myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting for details on tomorrow night’s find out more meeting to learn about our approach, how it works for many who never got on with the ‘standard menu of options’ and how it helped them unearth that ‘old’ them.
