Beliefs, Challenge and Friends

I used to hold the belief that having your abs show was genetic. Throughout life this belief was reinforced by instructors and trainers who told me that people are either born with it or not!

Looking back it was those same instructors who were eating Big Macs and Whoppers for lunch that were giving this advice.

At some point I was fortunate to meet some new friends that challenged me to question my beliefs about health and fitness.

In three short months I managed to completely change the way I look, but more importantly I have changed the way I feel inside. Now I am challenging all my limiting beliefs allowing me to abandon mediocrity and strive towards excellence!

Here is what I have learned:

1. You become like the people you hang around! I began setting and achieving more substantial goals when I started hanging around people that challenged me to strive towards excellence and be my best.

2. I began to get rid of everything in my life that represented mediocrity! Too much TV, Too much Snack Food, Too much Negativity! I started to get rid of all the mediocrity and negativity that was holding me back! Don’t settle for mediocrity! Remember, Misery Loves Company!

3. I Challenged my beliefs! I began to identify what beliefs were holding me back and then I set out to prove myself wrong! I started by looking for people who were already achieving the results I was looking for and then following their model for success!

Here are some of my beliefs that I am challenging as part of my Black Belt Test:

Abs are genetic!

Flexibility and attaining the split is genetic!

Performing in front of groups is painful!

I will let you know how it all turns out,
