Lifestyle column with Hoole’s transformational coach and money magnet Marite-Claire Carlyle
ONE of my favourites quotes is “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you ve always gotten” (A Robbins). It’s so true and yet doing something different can be so difficult. We are human and part of being human is to take the path of least resistance . Watching a TV programme about other people losing weight can feel so much more comforting than braving the cold winter evening to go get hot and sweaty at the gym yourself.
Now is a time when we come face to face with how our lives are progressing year on year. We glimpse where we are at and when we dont like what we see , we declare a couple of New Year resolutions to make ourselves feel
better...and then we settle back into our comfortable habits.
One of my clients Melody started last year as a size 20. She was not only overweight but in serious debt , living in a cluttered shared home and she had no job and no money. She had been living this way for years before she really took a good hard look at herself and her life. She realised that she had to do more than make a New Years resolution. She had to change her habits, her lifestyle and even the way she was thinking.
The trouble is that its difficult to think differently all by yourself. Thats why its important to get some support , a personal trainer, a nutritionist or a life coach. You need someone who s going to show you a new way of thinking and being; someone who s going to keep you on track when the going gets tough and someone who will see you always as the person you aspire to be rather than the person you are right now . Inside Melody’s huge frame and
greasy hair was a pretty flirty young girl looking to have some fun in life!
Once Melody made the commitment to change her life , all she needed to do was take each step at a time. She started a diet. She got herself a small part time job and she moved home to a cleaner smarter shared home. She learnt to say what she wanted and what she didnt want. She learnt to go out and party without drinking alcohol. She learnt to enjoy a family Sunday lunch eating only the healthy food that she had requested. And bit by bit the weight dropped off and her self esteem grew. She found herself a better job and started her own business. She started to buy pretty clothes in smaller sizes and then she attracted a gorgeous loving boyfriend. She went from a size 20 to a size 10. She went from having no money to earning over £1000 a day in her own business. Melody turned her life around in less than a year. Why did she wait years to make that change? Maybe she wasnt ready before then? Maybe she was too scared to be slim pretty and happy? Maybe things had to get really bad before she was prepared to jump out of her comfort zone and change her habits.
Take a look at your life . If something is not working , now is the time to get real and make a commitment to the you that deserves better. You can be do or have whatever you wish. It just takes a decision, a commitment and a willingness to let go of the “old you”. Every day that passes where you ignore your true wishes has an impact on your self esteem and confidence. Whether you really want to give up smoking, lose weight, change your job or earn more money, now is the time to do it. If Melody can do it , so can you. Have your best year ever !
