How To Worry Less By Focusing On What You Can Control

One of the HARDEST challenges I've found as a Dad is worrying about stuff that's out of my control.

I mean as soon as you leave the hospital for your first car ride home you're automatically a different person.

You start worrying about all the potential bad things that could happen, things you've never worried about before in your entire life!

And it's natural, it comes from immense love. This beautiful little bundle of joy depends entirely on you! You've never loved or cared about anything so deeply before.

It's an amazing thing, but it's also hard ha-ha! The thought of anything bad happening to them is crippling.

But it's easy in life to spend too much time focusing on things that are out of our control instead of the many things that we can control which is a much better use of our time and energy.

Here's a few things that we can control and some ideas on how to improve them.

Is Motivation Holding You Back!?

I don't know how many times I've heard people say that they're lacking motivation. That they could never train on their own or that they're just not "motivated" enough to make healthy changes.

Well If you're constantly waiting to feel motivated you might as well surrender and hang up your training shoes and tank top right now ha-ha.

The fact is NO ONE feels motivated all the time. NO ONE!

Consistency Reigns Supreme! Why The All or Nothing Approach Often Falls Flat.

If you’re doing NOTHING in regard to improving your health then all of a sudden decide to train 5 times a week, follow a strict diet plan, meditate daily, get 7-8 hours sleep a night blah blah blah you’ll quickly become overwhelmed and quit because you think there’s no way possible that you can achieve all of this.

A Lesson On Sugar

Firstly, this post isn’t to “demonise” sugar, it’s simply to educate you on the potential risks of eating too much of it, how easy it is to sneak into high sugar consumption and to help show you some ways to minimise the total amount of sugar you consume on a daily basis.

Sugar is not a health food, nor is it fully responsible for our overall health or weight gain. Good health is neither created or destroyed by one food however
