The four lies you'll tell yourself on New Years Eve part 1

Have you ever noticed how many good, honest, hardworking people turn into liars at New Year?

It's an amazing thing to watch as people from all walks of life, all ages and both sexes, go through the whole New Year’s resolution ‘thing’ and tell themselves lies about what the next 12 months will bring them.

You see, at this time of year many, many people go through the whole New Year’s resolution ‘thing’ and, let’s be honest, tell themselves lies about what the next 12 months will bring them.

You know what I mean.

11.59pm on New Year’s Eve you turn to a loved one and say “This year is going to be different. I’m really going to achieve some great things!” and for that one minute, that one moment in time, you mean it. You REALLY mean it!

You are fired up, raring to go and ready, willing and (despite the glass of champagne in your hand) able to commit to that new diet, getting that payrise or new job, starting that company, writing that book and a whole host of other great sounding things.

Then the bells ring in the New Year and a funny thing happens.

January 1st rolls around and, whilst the goals are still in your head, they don’t seem as important anymore. (maybe it’s the champagne?)

January 2nd comes and by lunchtime you’re telling yourself that some of your goals are ‘just silly fantasies’ and you scratch them off your list.

January 3rd arrives and, despite a much shorter list than you had just 2 days before, you start to tell yourself that “I’ve got all year to do this. I don’t have to start right now. Let me just ‘settle in’ to the year first and ‘get myself sorted’ and THEN I’ll work on my goals”

Like I said, all lies!


In fact, there are FOUR of them…


Lie number one: ‘This year is going to be different’

The truth of the matter is, for most people, sad though it is, 2007 is going to be EXACTLY the same as 2006 was.

Why?

Because their strategy is EXACTLY the same as it was last year and, as the saying goes, if you keep on doing what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.

Lie number two: ‘The goals don’t seem as important anymore’

Yes they are! They’re just as important as they were 24 hours ago it’s just that somewhere deep down you’ve started to persuade yourself that your goals are somehow unachievable and, if the truth be known, you’re scared about failing so instead you lie about their importance.

Lie number three: ‘They’re just silly fantasies’

This is a continuation of lie number two but much more harmful. With this lie you’ve started to rationalise and justify why your goals are impossible and use all kinds of excuses disguised as ‘reasons’ as to why your goals are unrealistic… the biggest lie of all!

Lie number four: ‘I’ll settle in and get sorted’

What a great lie!

This is an ‘I’m not giving up, I just need to get back into the flow at work or school before I attack these goals’ kind of lie that you use to delay things until the time is right.

But wait a minute…

Wasn’t work, school or your other favourite excuse the reason why you couldn’t achieve your goals before New Year?

No, lie number four is simply a delay tactic, that ‘one day’ lie that we all tell ourselves in order to get out of taking action when we know we could, when we know we should. You know, ‘one day when I have more time…’ or ‘one day when I have more money…’ (or whatever else you use to delay your goals).

Regardless of your ‘one day’ excuse, the results are the same… zero!

New Elimination Diet Samples Gone Mad!!

I've been writing my elimination diet newsletter for nearly 18 months now and in that time it has grown to well over 10,000 subscribers from all around the world.

Yet, sitting in your office as you write, you tend to forget that these 10,000 are actually out there, lurking : ), waiting for something new, something unusual, something that that can use to get serious results fast.

Well, I had a not-so-gentle reminder of that this morning when I woke to find over 3 and a half THOUSAND emails in my inbox asking me, begging me, pleading (actually some were quite threatening) to be given my 5 day meal planner.

It was nuts! This is simply a free download that I'd offered to my readers, nothing to go into a feeding frenzy (excuse the pun) over!

Now, don't get me wrong, as a professional personal trainer, I'm always pleased when people contact me about one of my services but 3,500 people for a free download??

I was puzzled...

Then it hit me!

Christmas and New Year have already taken their toll.

People have gotten fat, gained weight and slobbed out for most of December and now, with New Year fast approaching, they're desperate to lose fat, get fit and 'tone up' (whatever that means) and they'll do ANYTHING to get nutrition, diet and exercise advice... as long as it works!

The only trouble is, the big diet and supplement companies know this and they're more than willing to take advantage and squeeze as much money out of the unsuspecting public as possible for useless crap that simply doesn't work.

That's why I was very pleased to get an email from my good friend Craig Ballantyne over at Mens Health Magazine this afternoon.

Apparently, his Best-Selling Turbulence Training Exercise and Nutrition Manual is in the last 24 hours of a seriously amazing Christmas sale that promises to over-deliver on a grand scale.

Craig has packed a bumper load of extra bonuses into an already excellent product and has really outdone himself with exercise plan, nutrition plans and the very latest in cutting-edge training to burn serious bodyfat.

I won't tell you more about it here or you'll think I'm doing a sales job on you but understand this; In my entire career I have never gone out of my way to recommend a product from another personal trainer, yet I do so more than happily and in the full knowledge that Craig's Turbulence Training will deliver the good.
