I talked in yesterday’s blog about how people usually assume that, when you work in the Fitness Industry, you live what they consider to be a boring lifestyle.
You don’t eat out, drink alcohol, socialise or just have any fun at all.
All you do is work out.
And eat chicken and broccoli.
Over the years I’ve had many people who’ve got to know me say variations of “You’re not boring like I thought you would be”.
Or maybe accused me of being boring when I’ve sent “No” to maybe the dessert or the shots because I’m happy that I’ve had enough.
Somewhat ironically, I would say in nearly all of the cases where people have actually accused me of being “boring” over something minor like that…….
Our conversations have suggested that, shall we say, they’re hardly loving life.
Often pretty miserable in the week and just “living for the weekend”.
And then often not actually enjoying that quite as much as they tell themselves that they do.
It’s often a major ‘paradigm shift’ / change of perspective they have when they realise that healthy eating and exercise doesn’t REDUCE how much fun they have………
It INCREASES it!
The increased energy, stamina, mood and enthusiasm leads to them doing more different fun things.
Whilst still having the other stuff that they’ve always enjoyed.
Eating and drinking can be awesome.
But it’s worth considering that if that’s our only source of fun…………
And we’re not doing what will help us do a wider variety of fun things and to enjoy all of them more (it’s www.myrise.co.uk/apply if you like the sound of that)………….
Then that’s pretty boring!
Much love,
