Injury Prevention
At this time of year I see a lot of people with new injuries. When I ask them what they think caused it, they give me a sheepish kind of look, like they know they did something wrong. They then proceed to give me a list of “reasons” as to why they were a bit slack about exercising during winter but now that summer is approaching, they really need to get in shape fast, so they’re trying to fit 6 months of training into 3.
An Accidental Runner
As with most life-changing events I have experienced, running happened to me by accident. And, despite my physio, Amanda’s, inspiring assertion that I am a “natural runner”, anyone who has known me for any length of time, including myself, remain shocked that I have started, let alone persisted, with this activity. The main reason being that a key feature of my personality is a complete absence of any intrinsic motivation to engage in physical exercise merely for the sake of it (Sometimes mistakenly referred to, by the ill-informed, as laziness).

You Know What You Want – Now Go Get It!
Recently we published a post asking you a very important question: “What do you want?”. You can read the full article here. Before you read on, I want to make sure that you choose something. You can choose ANYTHING related to your health: reduce pain, lose weight, increase energy levels, live until I’m 100! You can choose anything you like. Choose it now.
The most important part of choosing what you want is making sure it is connected to what is most important to you. If family is important to you, make sure you connect it back to your family. If having a successful career is important to you, then connect it back to that. If your relationship with your partner is important, then connect it back to that. Check that what you want is connected to what you value the most and then read on.
If there is one thing for sure that I have learnt after working with hundreds of clients regarding behaviour change, it is that if what you want is not connected to what you see as the most important things in your life and what you value the most, then you will not take the necessary steps to turn what you want into a reality.
So now that you know what you want, read on to see what the next steps are….
