“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.”
― Bruce Lee
1- Be in it to win it
Get obsessed and stay obsessed. Exercise and diet is a habit. Get into your health for the long haul.
2- Drink a lot of water
Water is important for muscles to operate properly. Also it's good for your skin, hair, and various systems in your body.
3- Eat clean
What you put in your body affects its performance. Shop the periphery of the supermarket or go to a Farmer's Market.
4- Alcohol will derail you
Alcohol is fun to drink, but it's calories, it's dehydrating, it messes with your sleep, and most times, you'll end up eating late night after a night drinking.
5- Sleep is important
Sleep is integral to proper functioning. Rest is the hidden component of wellness.
6- Stress affects sleep, food cravings, and mood
Yup, we knew this...but good to reiterate. Screw stress.
7- Community is important
Find people who want to understand you and not derail you.
8- Positive attitude is important
Have a positive attitude and a competitive one. Accept that changes take time and old habits are hard to shake.
9- Financial health is important (see #6)
Buying grass fed meat, eating naturally, having a gym membership, a car to get to the gym...all of it costs money. If you're spending more than you have coming in, things can get stressful pretty quick. Also debt sucks.
10- Posture matters
Look taller. Feel stronger. Big changes start with little actions.
