15 Nov Are you walking the talk or just talking the walk

Don’t be that person who is all talk, and no action. It’s easy to speak about what you’re going to do, but the reality is that actually achieving your desires often requires less talking and more doing. And because doing is much harder than talking, it takes discipline. 

Discipline is neither glamorous nor exciting: it’s the dogged determination to turn up and keep going, regardless of whether you feel like it or not.

The most common reason why many people fail to be consistent at doing what they need to do is because they give in to how they are feeling at that moment. Instead of getting out of bed in the morning immediately when the alarm rings to go to the gym, they lie in bed and debate within their own head about how tired they are feeling at the moment and how they don’t feel too well. After 5 minutes of justifying why they could not do what they need to do because of how they are feeling at the moment, they successfully convince themselves that they can take the day off from their exercise routine. 

If that sounds familiar to you, here’s a replacement action you can take whenever, you find yourself in that moment of self talk about how you are feeling – remind yourself how good you are going to feel when you finish the session at the gym like you planned to the day before. Remind yourself of the sense of achievement and the satisfaction you will feel because you needed to gather every bit of strength and discipline within yourself to get up and do it! Then just Do It!  At the end of the day, it’s discipline that will get you over the finish line…
