Mental fitness is priceless

Mental fitness is the complete opposite of overthinking, over-analysing and worry.

Our mind is complex and if we fail to control it will control us. Recently I have been working with clients helping them to control that negative inner voice also known as the enemy within. Now to be able to do this I have had to work really hard on my own enemy within over the years. Can you imagine I was working with a client and my enemy within was strong and loud, double that intensity if their enemy within was the same, it would be more like a battle rather than a coaching session!

This morning whilst at the gym I became my own cheerleader, I spoke to myself in a way that allowed me to smash a goal I had never been able to before (running for longer). It felt amazing as I didn't have to look for outside sources to motivate me to go, I had exactly what I needed inside of me, it was free and it was unlimited.

The negative inner voice can be the hardest thing to control especially when your outer world is hectic. A hectic world and a negative inner voice can cause havoc for goal achievements, hence the reason I am now working with many business owners who are keen to take their business to the next level.

The craziest thing about the negative inner voice is often it's not ours, if your really listen to it like I mean really listen to it you will hear your mothers voice, your fathers voice, that teacher that didn't like you, they are in there too!

Why does this happen?

The mind works from memory and works on what we feed it, if we have never taken time to reprogramme the thoughts, ideas and beliefs that are being put inside of it we are doomed!

When I first went into business the times I was held back I thought it was just me holding myself back and this was the case however, it was also the thoughts and ideas that had been placed in my mind by others. People had told me I couldn't do it, despite me being highly qualified and having 10 years experience in my field. Others told me it was too hard! These ideas did start to sink in and started to become mixed up with my own ideas, luckily given my experience and my own work with my coach I was able to filter them out quickly meaning they didn't do too much harm.

Some people live their life's by the ideas of others and they do not even realise how much time and energy it is costing them. It gets in the way of career goals, relationship goals, fitness goals, creative goals, weight loss goals and so much more.

What has been really refreshing for me recently has been my work with younger adults ranging from 11 - 18. The younger adults are coming to me to work with me to increase their mental fitness, listen to it, before they hit challenges, so not after the issue has come but, before it becomes an issue! POWERFUL! This is positive psychology at it's absolute best.

Many people assume that people wait until there is a problem before taking action although many are not taking action to prevent the problem rather than cure it. The younger generation have got this.

Take a look at how your days pans out today, what is getting in the way of your happiness? How often is that enemy within directing your actions to your detriment? How much time are you loosing to worry?

Some people will stop and ask themselves these questions. If you have just asked yourself these questions you are serious about your life and I am here to listen.

Mental fitness is priceless as you can take it with your everywhere you go, it will be unlimited so long as you continue to top it up every single day. You have it at your finger tips in times of crisis, in times of stress and in times of worry.

Are you ready to do what it takes to improve the quality of your life?
