Look Back Not Forward

My clients are absolutely the best…our chats during warm ups and cool downs give me so much inspiration for my emails!

Sometimes you’ve gotta sit back and look at how far you’ve come rather than how far you still have to go to meet your goal. 

Praise yourself for your achievements to date, no matter how small you think they are. Whether it’s hitting your daily step target, increasing the weights you’re lifting on a certain exercise or drinking an extra 500ml of water a day…it’s all a step in the right direction. 

I’m gonna use a football analogy… 

‘If you’re in possession you can’t concede’…in other words, if you’re making progress (no matter how small), you’re not failing
