I'm Sam Wood, and this is your motivational moment for this week. We are going to shake things up. The inspiration for the day's little chat came from spring, because spring is such a season of change. And there's so many cliche quotes out there, but one that is oh so true and I've used many many times is if you do the same thing over and over again and you expect a different result, that's the definition of insanity.
And I think in a fitness space, or a weight loss space, or a transformation space, too many of us do this. We just go round and round in circles, doing the same thing month in month out, year in year out, and we might get okay results at the very beginning of that new phase, but eventually we plateau or we get bored, and we stop and we go backwards. So the reason I thought i'd bring it up today is spring is the perfect time to shake things up.
So it might be you've been procrastinating, you've been telling yourself that you're going to start eating better, eating cleaner, eating leaner, whatever it might be. It might be you're going to start walking, you're going to start running, you're going to join the gym, whatever, it might be, but
you need to shake something up in your life. If you've been suffering from anxiety or stress, and you've been telling yourself you would benefit from better sleep or implementing some kind of mindfulness practice into your routine, this is the week you're going to do that. You're going to shake something up, either from a mental health, a training perspective, a nutrition perspective, a sleep perspective. And I'm not going to tell you what that is. That has to be
a personal choice. Something you've been telling yourself you're going to do for a while hour you know it's something you need to do, and you keep putting it off, or you've been doing the same thing over and over again and it's ticking a box, but it's not necessarily getting the results that you want. You're going to shake things up, So what do you need to do. You need to choose something and it's not just going to be a thought bubble that pops out of your head
as quickly as it pops in. You're going to get a piece of paper. You're going to write it down, my spring shakeup, and you're going to write down on that piece of paper what you're going to do and it's not just going to say walking. You need to be specific, You need to put some parameters around it. You need to make yourself accountable. So can't just sit there. You're going to write down I will walk thirty minutes
per day minimum, five times per week. Or I am going to buy fresh fruit and vegetables every Saturday morning from the market. Or it might be I'm going to practice mindfulness for five minutes twice a week before I go to bed. It doesn't matter how big an undertaking it is. It doesn't matter what facet of your life
of your wellness it covers. But it has to be personal to you, and it has to be something that you know isn't working in that space at the moment you're going to write it down, You're going to put it somewhere where you see it every single day, maybe on the mirror of your bathroom, or on the fridge, or on the top of your laptop, whatever it might be, so you're looking at it day in day out until you start to get that habit going. Because spring is
going to be the season of change. My homework to all of our wood Life listeners for this week, for my little motivational moment is pick this thing that you're going to shake up, whatever it might be, and you are going to stick to it for the whole month of September. Not the whole season of spring. We're going to baby step you in the right direction, but for the next month till the end of September, that is going to be the thing that you focus on. B
