WEBVTT - MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT: A spring shakeup! 🌻

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:02.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm Sam Wood, and this is your motivational moment for

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:10.479
<v Speaker 1>this week. We are going to shake things up. The

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>inspiration for the day's little chat came from spring, because

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:18.479
<v Speaker 1>spring is such a season of change. And there's so

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>many cliche quotes out there, but one that is oh

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>so true and I've used many many times is if

0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>you do the same thing over and over again and

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>you expect a different result, that's the definition of insanity.

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think in a fitness space, or a weight

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:34.279
<v Speaker 1>loss space, or a transformation space, too many of us

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>do this. We just go round and round in circles,

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.239
<v Speaker 1>doing the same thing month in month out, year in

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>year out, and we might get okay results at the

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>very beginning of that new phase, but eventually we plateau

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>or we get bored, and we stop and we go backwards.

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>So the reason I thought i'd bring it up today

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.959
<v Speaker 1>is spring is the perfect time to shake things up.

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>So it might be you've been procrastinating, you've been telling

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>yourself that you're going to start eating better, eating cleaner,

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 1>eating leaner, whatever it might be. It might be you're

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>going to start walking, you're going to start running, you're

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>going to join the gym, whatever, it might be, but

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>you need to shake something up in your life. If

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>you've been suffering from anxiety or stress, and you've been

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 1>telling yourself you would benefit from better sleep or implementing

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>some kind of mindfulness practice into your routine, this is

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the week you're going to do that. You're going to

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>shake something up, either from a mental health, a training perspective,

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>a nutrition perspective, a sleep perspective. And I'm not going

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>to tell you what that is. That has to be

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a personal choice. Something you've been telling yourself you're going

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>to do for a while hour you know it's something

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you need to do, and you keep putting it off,

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>or you've been doing the same thing over and over

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 1>again and it's ticking a box, but it's not necessarily

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>getting the results that you want. You're going to shake

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>things up, So what do you need to do. You

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>need to choose something and it's not just going to

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>be a thought bubble that pops out of your head

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>as quickly as it pops in. You're going to get

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>a piece of paper. You're going to write it down,

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>my spring shakeup, and you're going to write down on

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>that piece of paper what you're going to do and

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not just going to say walking. You need to

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>be specific, You need to put some parameters around it.

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>You need to make yourself accountable. So can't just sit there.

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>You're going to write down I will walk thirty minutes

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>per day minimum, five times per week. Or I am

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>going to buy fresh fruit and vegetables every Saturday morning

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.679
<v Speaker 1>from the market. Or it might be I'm going to

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>practice mindfulness for five minutes twice a week before I

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>go to bed. It doesn't matter how big an undertaking

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it is. It doesn't matter what facet of your life

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>of your wellness it covers. But it has to be

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>personal to you, and it has to be something that

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>you know isn't working in that space at the moment

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>you're going to write it down, You're going to put

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>it somewhere where you see it every single day, maybe

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.519
<v Speaker 1>on the mirror of your bathroom, or on the fridge,

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>or on the top of your laptop, whatever it might be,

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>so you're looking at it day in day out until

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you start to get that habit going. Because spring is

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be the season of change. My homework to

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>all of our wood Life listeners for this week, for

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>my little motivational moment is pick this thing that you're

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>going to shake up, whatever it might be, and you

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>are going to stick to it for the whole month

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 1>of September. Not the whole season of spring. We're going

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to baby step you in the right direction, but for

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the next month till the end of September, that is

0:03:51.840 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be the thing that you focus on. B
