Out of the

Dark,

and Into the

LIGHT!

Exposing your thoughts to the criticism of paper

-and therefore other people-

to get the results you want!

Its been 2 weeks of exercising, your trainer has asked you to fill out your nutrition journal. You get on the scale, the needle went UP! “How could it be?”, you frustratingly shrug as if you’ve done all you can. The only thing is, you haven’t really kept up to your job of keeping your nutrition journal. The excuses you’ve given your trainer seem to follow along the lines of, “well, I can tell you what I ate”, or “I don’t really eat that bad.” Let me propose to you a scenario that will give you the bottom line reason why you need to expose your journal to the ‘light’.

If about 30 people or so packed into a cozy room all to describe their perception of a ball in the center of the room which is sitting on display, there is no doubt that if the lights were on in only half of the room, we might all give a different description. On the darker side of the room (supposing the ball is standard red), some people might perceive and therefore describe the ball to appear maroon or purple, or something of the sort. While on the brighter, or lighter side of the room, people simply describe the ball as red! If we all stay in the same point of view of the ball, we will only argue, and make excuses. However, if we change our point of perspective, move around the room so the light adjusts to the ball we are observing, we will all basically come to the same conclusion. That the ball is RED!

Now regardless of how good you think you eat, or whether you can tell your trainer what it is that you do eat, the walls inside your skull allow very little light to shine on your thoughts. In fact, your own perceptions on what you think you eat will change when you begin to write them down. I, as well as most professional coaches and trainers, have clients and athletes that eat excellently, clients an athletes that eat atrociously, and those whose choices are good, but sometimes just don’t eat enough to maintain a good metabolism, or, on the other side of the scale, enough nutrition to get them through their training programs. However, regardless of the scenario you fit into, once your nutrition is on paper, and exposed to the constructive criticism of your coach or trainer and your team of support keeping you accountable, we all find a different and true perspective as to why the needle on the scale went up instead of down, or why we crah and burn on the playing field of athletics and/or life! Turn on the light. SET GOALS and WRITE THINGS DOWN!
