Most guys know what to do but aren’t doing it.
This is why your health and fitness isn’t an information problem, it’s an implementation problem.
This means it’s less about the method and more about the mindset.
What you need to realize is, that making a transformation, one that will have you looking and feeling at your best. Is achieved through discipline.
I’m not talking about being perfect 24/7.
I’m saying that the majority of the decisions you make need to be in line with your goal. And the ones that aren’t don’t undo the work you’ve done.
It comes down to an internal battle between you and your monkey brain.
You see the monkey brain wants you to relax and take the easy option.
The monkey brain has a penchant for fornication, debauchery and immediate pleasure.
Do things that will provide it with stimulus and excitement (although they won’t be challenging or uncomfortable). This is why it’s so easy to plicate.
But after a while, of giving in to these cravings they leave you feeling a little hollow and disappointed.
Because once again you’ve been persuaded by the monkey. Who has led you astray.
Yeah, it was fun and you had a good laugh but that monkey has led you so far off course you’re now a bit lost.
You’re stumbling around trying to get back to the correct path. Cursing yourself for giving in to the petulant primate. Who keeps distracting you from not doing what you said you were going to do.
Frustrated you didn’t have the discipline to ignore that wretched beast and his easy enticements.
The thing is when you start out with addressing this the monkey brain, it isn’t a cute little Capuchin. No no no it’s an adult silverback gorilla.
It’s so powerful. You feel almost helpless when it comes to stopping it from doing what it wants.
But when you have a plan and some accountability that sees you build your discipline.
That is when you’ll start to see that monkey shrink. And so to its power over you. All the way until you have only a cute little Pygmy Marmoset to deal with.
It is at this point that you’ll be at your best. You’ll be doing what you should be doing. Not what the monkey wants you to.
Which is how you get you to that place where you have the energy and confidence that you’re after. And built the discipline that will permeate all areas of your life.
Plus the added satisfaction that comes from knowing that you’ve bettered that pesky monkey!
