Thursday 31st July 2008 - Week Two Day Four Global Health Challenge - Intention VS Action

I have been discussing with professional friends this week many of the different reasons that seem to appear to be "blocking" others who desire success from reaching that successful outcome with their health results.

Remember that effort = result.
We all have aspects of our lives that need to take a priority at certain times through circumstances that we don't always have control over however this will always happen in our lives. Nothing is set in stone so allow some flexibility but don't just give up.

For most people around the world while the intent to meet their personal health goals is pure, it is the actions they choose that don't always match and sometimes in fact are a hinderance leading to a definite failure.

Here are some examples to think about.

You know the person that trains hard at the gym most days of the week to improve their physique but clearly is not getting the optimum results they could be because of their nutritional intake or social habits. So they train more often or longer. They are probably either eating whatever they desire without regard for its nutrient or caloric value because in their mind "I train so I can eat or drink whatever I want" ... WRONG = Failure.

They lead a highly social life that starts on Friday afternoon and ends on Sunday afternoon. While I don't judge anyone for the life they choose, I do caution you of the impact that it will have on your success result and in fact I have had people do plans before and complain they didn't achieve what had been indicated.

A short conversation with them leads us BOTH to discover and be enlightened that they really hadn't been doing what I had "prescribed" but rather modifying it to suit their social capabilities and desires. To each his own - but don't blame me.

One of my greatest puzzles when it comes to health is the person (male or female) who is totally committed to their cardio training on a daily basis to support their dieting habits but then smokes cigarettes. Really does putting the "poisons" in your Human Eco System that are doing you confirmed harm balance out the exercise to meet calorie intake or deficit ?? Wake up !!!! Wrong = Failure.

So how can you match your intent with your actions?
The first step is to have a plan that outlines all of YOUR responsibilities. Then follow through with ALL the elements and not just the ones that suit you. Those that are too hard shouldn't be dropped but rather find a way to make them less hard and in fact adjust your "attitood compass" to make them palatable.

Remember I have already committed to YOU with this plan to assist get the health results you seek and so YOU need to do what is necessary for YOU to get the results YOU desire.

With minor adjustments all the "perceived" issues can become less of "excuses or personal roadblocks" and more of "personal success achievements" when you confront and concur them.

One of my favorite sayings is "Have the courage to finish what you start !" It's YOUR Body - it's YOUR Life.
