Who sings this song?
The chorus goes, “I can’t fight this feeling anymorrrreeeee, I forgotten what I started fighting forrrrrr….”?
My mother used to play this song in her car, almost daily.
Do you know the artist?
Here lately, there’s an 80’s epidemic of song choices go off in my head.
Anyway, if you know the artist who sings ‘can’t fight this feeling anymore’, please post below his/her name.
There’s REAL significance in the song tied to today’s blog post.
Ok, here goes today’s quick TOD (Topic of Discussion):
Are you ‘unhappy’ with the way you look and feel? The ‘bombshell’ question.
If you looked in the mirror right now, naked, would you LOVE what you see?
Pick one. Yikes! Or Yea Baby!
Are you UNHAPPY with how you look and/or feel?
Yes? (keep reading)
Do you ever ask yourself seriously WHY you feel like that?
Your negative self-image usually stems from a MAJOR (but hidden) problem that has NOTHING to do with your 8-5 job, eating habits or lifestyle.
And MORE about a much bigger problem running rampant in today’s society.
What’s the MAJOR Problem….?
CONFUSING SOMEONE ELSE’S GOALS, AS YOUR GOALS!
No one ever talks about this! Most folks would rather you follow them!
But let’s look at closer…
If you’re feeling lousy about who you, first, consider this may be a result of listening too much to what other folks think about you! Maybe you’re trying to fit into their ‘box’.
Think about it…Goals of 6 pack abs, and buns of steel, size 8, may not even be ‘right’ for you.
Yep, I said it.
I’m going to harp on this more…
Let’s assume you don’t like the way you look and feel anymore. You join ‘Globo-Shmoe’ gym. Buy the membership. And join your ‘size 0’ co-worker to fiddle with the weights for 30minutes, 3 times a week.
You and her (co-worker) go workout because you want to wear size 0’s like her.
But, …back it up a second.
Have you slowed down, and asked, “Is this really what I want for myself?”
And am I going about it the right way? Right exercises, Sets, Intensity, etc.
Or is this goal of wearing really skinny jeans, really realistic?
If your goal is to wear a size 8, and you believe it with confidence, then more power to you.
But point I’m trying to make, is to just be careful. If you’re fitness goals happen to be someone else’s goals, and not what YOU really want, then re-clarify what they are for you to be happy. And find what MUST BE the fruit of your efforts.
It can sound rather scary at times, when you finally wake up living someone else’s ‘wants’ in life. All the efforts you put in were a waste when all you really wanted was to feel a better quality of life, minus the size 0.
It’s easy to ‘go with the flow’ of what others are doing, and think you got to follow in their footsteps. But make no mistake, find out what you want, first.
And heck with everyone else!
And whether it’s because ‘King Tut’ told you, or the latest reviews from Reader’s Digest says, be sure you know the ‘feeling you feel (bad self image), is a feeling only YOU know to be true (not from your peers opinions), and can ONLY THEN, be worth the fight (your effort)’.
Stop fighting the feeling (of unrealistic goals), (as the song suggest) if you forget along the way what you’re fighting for. You may forget because the goals you chose weren’t really yours to begin with!
I’m writing this to illustrate a very good reason why it’s important you always look from ‘within’, on what you want out of life.
Let you inner voice decide what’s right for you.
Pick your friends, business partners…anyone you come in contact with, WISELY.
Know your goals are YOUR goals. Understand WHY you have those goals. And then commit to sticking to the plan for long-term success.
And also, if you’d like more information on how you can ‘stick to YOUR plan’ for long-term success, on your terms, towards your fitness goals (not someone else’s), then call (832) 279-3565 now for free initial diagnostic fitness and nutrition consultation, for a limited time only.
