- BEING BUSY AND MAKING IT WORK

What does it look like for you
How does the week look for you
How do you plan ahead
Keeping it simple is so important
- how you manage meal prepping
Multi tasking
- how you manage steps, getting activity in, fitting in your sessions
* you don’t always feel like showing up, especially when youre tired – for steps, for eating the heathier choice, for training
* meal prep helping here with
- how you can use it as fuel to be a good role model for your family because you do it in a way that empowers and strengthens not starves you
- when people competed before how that distorts your lens of lean
the realities of coming away from that
• They then call themselves
•
- You didn’t just give up those things
- There was the body distortion that went with it and for many other people its also their relationship with food as well as their body to get there
-
someone who hasn't got a weight to lose but they want a leaner look... AND THINK FATLOSS is the answer
the reality of building muscle
expectation of results
especially if you stay in maintenance or keep wanting to dip into a deficit
people wanting to go into a cut 4 or 6 months into trying to eat more when they are only getting back into training hard

What if we are comparing ourselves to an old version of ourselves
This is why we want to change our bodies in the first place bc we want to be perceived in a certain way and think our body and changing it is whats going to make us feel happier more satisfied, more confident like we can wear skimpy clothes or whatever
But is it really?
Again how can being so
Don't like letting go of control
They feel they
Safety and defense and needing to know all the ins and outs so they need to know
The brain loves certain
predictability
We may have the goal which is ours and it is ours but we are seeing it in a different language or lens than it actually is or we say we want it but we don't realise that our view of how to get there is totally wrong
How can a physique orientated focus / approach impact eating patterns that don't serve us like emotional eating,
Hyperfixate on the body we think we should have
How it can lead us into a trajectory we don't want

302; realities of change, goal setting & evolving with them, discovering your values - dalton franke & ben mayfield smith
The importance of focusing on lifestyle
Results they expect to have
Comparing ourselves to a past version of ourselves
Willing to give and sacrifice
Extrinsic factors how can we learn to develop more of an internal drive
Again CLARITY OF THE STEPS THERE
Because you can have all the clarity on the end with the clairy of the journey there so yes i love this so so much
There's also the side where people fear failing and embracing themselves
The scarier part in 2023 is people are scared to admit they have a goal, a drive, passion, ambition
The minute you admit you have a goal or ambition you risk the consequences of failure
Same goal - but different mindset and approach
Goal linguistics
Language we use
Values
Pressures that are deciding this
The fear of success and the fear of failure are both future anxieties most people have no business worrying about but holds them back.
Everyone is so set in their victim ways that if you strive you must be wanting to improve yourself and that's right wing ambition that's dangerous or toxic or egotistical.
Most become scared to step out from the herd and proclaim their directions
and then when clients ask how often macros will change when its the wrong q to ask because
!/ they arent even tracking to start with nor consistent
2/ there are so many other things that need ot be prioritized
The root of it
Mindset of performance and body image struggles
Always wanting to chase lean holding you back and social media's role
Why people fail
""" relapse
How faking excitement done right can help
Athlete mindset for long term success
____ acknowledgement
P2; why is it so hard
Complications
Obstacles
Visual imagery
Discomfort in us
Always wanting to do it all
How to deal when life is too crazy and you still want to make progress
