How a Single Change in Your Lifestyle Can Have a Massive Impact on Your Results!

After a very festive season last year and a busy social calendar that continued into the New Year, Annie and I decided to give up drinking alcohol for the month of February.

We had both put on a little bit of weight during the festive season and weren't happy with the way we were looking. Plus, our motivation to exercise consistently and eat as healthily as we normally do wasn't as strong as it normally is so something had to change.

By giving up drinking alcohol for the month (the shortest month of the year of course!) we noticed many beneficial changes not only in the way we looked and felt but also with regards to our focus and motivation as well.

We both started eating 'cleaner' and began exercising more consistently again. It was as if simply making the decision to discipline ourselves in one small area of our lives had a carry-over benefit to other areas of our lives as well.

Plus, the fact that we did it together as a couple made a difference too.

One thing that surprised me the most was the fact that it wasn't that hard to stick to. I was expecting it to be a lot more difficult than it was. Even though there were a handful of social situations where I felt like having a drink but didn't, I found it was pretty easy to avoid drinking alcohol for the entire month.

Another benefit that I have gained from the 'no alcohol month' was the fact that even now I don't really feel like drinking much at all. I seem to be drinking much less frequently than I was previously and I am certainly drinking less when I do drink.

Just think, what area of your life can you make a single change to your lifestyle and not only receive the benefits of that one change but also the benefits that come as the carry-over benefits of that change?

I have spoken to a few ladies at the gyms where I conduct seminars and they have started going for their morning walks every day before breakfast and after taking a thermogenic. What they noticed is that after 'forcing' themselves to do it for a few weeks it gradually became easier and their body started automatically waking up every morning even before their alarm went off.

They also started eating better as well. It was as if they didn't want to undo all the beneficial effects they had gained by going for their morning walk.

Perhaps going for a walk every morning is something you could do and could easily fit into your lifestyle. Perhaps you could reduce your alcohol intake as I did and rather than giving it up altogether, simply make a decision to only have it on the weekends. The weekend starts on Friday night of course! I know a few people who made this simple change and it made a massive difference to their results.

Whatever small change you're willing to make, just do it! Discipline yourself to stick to it for a few weeks and after a short period of time you are sure to find it much easier to do consistently and get all the benefits, both directly and indirectly, that it offers.
