New Article Published! How to get into the Action Habit

Discover the difference between Mr. Activationist and Mr. Passivationist


Here's something leaders in every field agree on: There is a shortage of top-flight, expertly qualified persons to fill key positions. There really is, as the saying goes, plenty of room at the top. As one executive explained, there are many almost-qualified people, but there is one success ingredient often missing. That is the ability to get things done, to get results. Which one are you? Are you an activationist or a passivationist?

Every big job- whether it be operating a business, high-level selling, in science, the military, or the government-requires a man who thinks action. Principle executives, looking for a key person, demand answers to questions like "Will he do the job?" "Will he follow through?" "Is he a self-starter?" "Can he get the results, or is he just a talker?" I know I have been tested many times being a Physical fitness trainer, Nutritionist, and Wellness coach where results and success are the bottom line. I always have to perform and go the extra mile to help my clients and customers succeed with their health and fitness goals and needs. I know the committment that takes on my side and on their side. Afterall, we are a team even when things get tough we have to push through those plateus and possible backsliding days or weeks. It is the end result that really counts.

All these questions have one aim: to find out if the fellow is a man of action.

Excellent ideas are not enough. The thought of getting healthy and fit are not enough. An only fair idea acted upon, and developed, is 100 percent better than a terrific idea that dies because it isn't followed up by action.

The great self-made merchant John Wanamaker often said, "Nothing comes merely by thinking about it."

Think of it. Everythingwe have in this world, from satelites to skyscrapers to baby food, is just an idea acted upon.

As you study people - both the successful and the just average - you find they fall into two classes. The successful are active; we'll call them activationist. The just average, the mediocre, the unsuccessful are passive. We'll call them passivationist. Again which one are you when it comes to your health and fitness goals are you a activationist or a passivationist? A doer or a "don'ter"? You can only be one or the other you choose.

We can discover a success principle by studying both groups. Mr. Activationist is a doer. He takes decisive action , gets things done, follows through on ideas and plans. Mr. Passivationist ia a "don'ter." He postpones doing things until he has proved he shouldn't or can't do them or until it's too late.

The difference between these two groups shows up in little and big things in life my friends. To aquire new good habits takes time and continuous action. Whether your having a good day or a bad day you still need to follow through with your committments to yourself and others. Remember we all have the ability to lead within us it is a choice in life no matter whether it is to become a business owner, a doctor, a priest, a teacher, or to tackle our health and fitness goals. Are you going to be a activationist or a passivationist? You decide! Have a healthy and happy day!

How To Conquer Weight loss Reluctance

Five Steps to Conquer Weight loss Reluctance


What is weight loss reluctance? It is best typified by the the health and fitness seeker who hangs out around the gyms, outside or even at home every morning drinking coffee and chewing the fat with other health and fitness seekers rather than getting in a productive habit of a successful weight loss program that sets you up for maximizing serious results for the earliest possible start; the health and fitness seeker who shuffles around without a proper unique program designed for them is unplanned and will not get results period. The fact is like anything else weight training and good nutritional habits for weight loss should have a path and plan for measurable results. The one who procrastinates all day long by rationalizing will not be successful and see the desired results they seek and deserve.


How can we specifically apply this to conquering weight loss reluctance? As with most things , a problem honestly acknowledged is at lest half solved. If you will confront your habit of avoidance and take it on with the determination to chase it out of your daily life, this alone is much more than just the first step of a lengthy journey; instead, it is a giant leap toward your weight loss success. A leap that puts you perhaps halfway to your goal.

Over the years, I have met and had lengthy conversations with many of my top professional clients. Almost without exception, these men and women had struggled off and on over the years with approaching weight loss and at some point in their life and ultimately made a decision , a committment to move from avoidance to confrontation. I don't mean confrontation in the negative sense, by the way. I mean confronting your own demons with bold and brave determination. Having the courage to rid yourself and your life of any particular demon, in this case , weight loss reluctance , is almost magical in its power. By taking action and facing the true root to those demons and applying forgiveness and letting go these clients finally achieved lasting results.

Apply these five steps to your successfull weight loss approach and see how they make your efforts fast forward a notch with greater results and success.

• Step 1: Choose Exercises and Eating plans you feel good about doing and taking action on.
• Step 2: Be 110% Sold on What Method or Program You Approach
• Step 3: Try Recalling Past Accomplishments With Your Weight loss Efforts
• Step 4: Use Mental Rehearsal for Success
• Step 5: When that little tension ball starts to appear Relaxation techniques works every time

I hope you enjoy these tips and really search deep on how you can use these tried and true techniques to have more success with your health, fitness, and weight loss goals. Have a healthy and happy day!
