I wanted to write you guys a quick note of encouragement today. Now, it’s fall, and that means winter is around the corner. A lot of you have the mind set that it’s ok to “put on some winter weight”. Well I’m here to help you avoid that trend and stay the healthy course.

The picture you see above is not just an eye catcher. This is a display that my beautiful and talented wife, Natasha, put together for our home. She spent a good 3 hours putting everything in it’s perfect place so that it was just right. There was a lot of care and love that went into creating it.

This is the example that we should take when we live our lives. Should we make the quick and easy choices, or the choices that may seem hard at the time, but pay off in the end?

For me, I like to live my life retrospectively. Right before I make a choice I think to myself, “at the end of the day am I going to be happy and proud of what I’m about to do, or regret it?” This simple question can help guide you to a healthier life.

Every one of us has gone out to eat something and thought “I really shouldn’t have done that.” Then we are riddled with guilt over something that’s not worth it. It’s the little choices that make the difference. Choosing non-fat lattes with sugar free flavor, a wrap rather than a sub, brown rice rather than white, eating breakfast rather than skipping. Believe it or not this will save you a ton of unwanted negative feelings. The less of those, the better.

This type of forward thinking, this retrospective view, helps me make it to the gym everyday. It helps me stick to a system, and regiment for my nutrition. All that aside, it helps me treat others with respect. It helps me treat my wife with the devotion she deserves, and it helps me stay focused and on track in my business.

Work up to it. Start slow. One aspect of your life at a time. There is no reason to try to attack the whole lot with change. Start on one part of something in your life that you’re working on. If you’re trying to eat healthier, start by asking yourself the retrospective question before you choose your lunch at the office everyday, and expand from there. Or choose any other aspect of your life you’re trying to modify. If you do this, and you’re honest with yourself, you WILL see a positive change. just keep in mind that you get out, what you put in.
