Standing for the Client!

A good fitness trainer stands for the client… helping them to recall the truth of what they want for themselves and the real possibility of attaining it through consistent, dedicated and directed behavior over the short and long-term – even when the client has forgotten or misplaced their goals.  Standing for the client means having energy when they do not, having motivation when they do not and being what they themselves would like to achieve.

Why You Don’t Need to Explain!

Your conscious mind takes up to 17% of your total brain power… but only controls about 3% of your perceptions and behaviors at any given time.  While on the other hand, the non-conscious mind occupies 83% of your total brain power at any given time and controls around 97% of your perceptions and behavior.  Meaning, that you can know something without needing to know the reason why and sometimes trying to explain what you know to be true can leave you speechless when trying to explain.  In fact, your non-conscious mind can process things up to 800 times faster than your conscious mind.  What a great resource!  Now, some may call it an intuition or merely a gut instinct – but it’s really your mind that already knows the answer and/or the outcome in the first place.  Trust it… and you don’t need to explain!

Making Sure of Your Direction!

As human beings we drive ourselves… that’s what can often lead to success and satisfaction in our lives. But driving ourselves toward goals without proper reflection can often lead to results that were not really our true intentions in the first place. Careful assessment of daily tasks and longterm goals are necessary to ensure that our energy is not wasted on outcomes that were never desired in the first place.
