Over the last couple of days, I’ve mentioned the Break Point activity that I took part in last Wednesday.
Exactly a week ago, when this comes out, I would’ve been halfway up that first giant hill.
And I was chatting to some of the other guys in my group.
Rich, Andy and Greg.
Along with Paul and Lesley, the couple that run the programme (‘Rule of six’, socially distanced and outdoors, don’t you worry).
I knew Paul and Lesley already so created the mnemonic of RED RAG.
Like “to a bull”.
We were the red team.
RAG = Rich, Andy and Greg.
Rich is a “day plaster”, Andy has recently retired from being a consultant to the chemical industry and Greg a professional sports gambler.
Useful to remember ‘just in case’ we got captured.
Anyway, I chatted to the other five in turn throughout the ‘yomp’ (like a walk but sounds much tougher).
Amongst other things, about what we wanted to get from the day.
I explained to each that I was hoping for some deep insights and a chance to grow.
I’ve never had the big transformations some in the group have.
Completely turning their lives around from the brink of destruction to some amazing achievements.
For me, it’s been more about incremental improvements along the way.
I know I’m a better dad, husband, coach and person in general now than when I started.
I was explaining this to Greg.
And he said “You don’t need to hit rock bottom”.
Which hit home.
I’m better off having always done alright and doing even better now……….
Than I would’ve been ‘hitting rock bottom’ and bouncing back up.
TV and films tell us we need to hit rock bottom.
They pretty much teach us to keep going in the wrong way until the point where some massive change happens.
Often accompanied by some dramatic music in the background.
And whilst that might be what happens for some……….
——- And definitely not the music ——–
It doesn’t have to be.
We can just make some ‘better’ decisions.
Abandon this “all or nothing” mentality that probably hasn’t served us well.
Don’t over think it.
Just make a slightly better decision than we could’ve next time it comes up.
About exercise, food, drink, sleep or anything else.
Clicking this link to take the next step with us could be seen as a little step or a life changing moment. Either way, you won’t regret it. 13 days to the find out more meeting for the January programme –> myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting
It doesn’t always seem much.
Might not seem worth doing compared to those huge life-changing moments.
But it’ll add up.
To more than those big moments ever will.
Much love,
Jon ‘Urinage’ Hall
