If anyone knows me, knows very well that I’m a little bit obsessed about my job.
I say job, It’s more like a hobby too.
Whenever the Mrs is watching stuff on the box, I’m normally sitting reading articles and new research papers on exercise and nutrition…
Yeh, OBSESSED
Anyhoo, I work a lot of hours, so I’m always conscious and I try my best to do stuff that takes my mind off work too,
stuff that makes me relax and destress.
Stress is mega important for fat loss btw (more on this another time)
I might of mentioned to you before though…
Your down time can actually be your UP time!
If you don’t know what I mean, spending more time to yourself and relaxing….
It not only helps you to de stress, it also helps you RECHARGE
It also makes you more productive when you go back to work.
So, I’m constantly looking for enjoyable things to do on my day off to help me chill.
(Btw playing Call of Duty on the xbox is NOT the best way to chill)
^^^everytime I try this, I end up shouting at the screen and my heart rate is through the roof.
Anyhoo, a few weeks back I decided to start playing a game called ‘Clash of Clans’
I’m not gonna bore you with the details….
But it has to be one of the most addictive bloody games I’ve EVER played.
So much so, I was updating my game and checking my phone several times pay day.
Spending hours on it.
Last night though, after spending weeks on building up my Clan….
I deleted the whole game
Why?
(No, not because I was getting my ass kicked my 7 year olds!)
But because I recognized I was no longer using it to ‘chill’
I was getting obsessed with it and it was taking over my life…..
and WASTING my time.
Why the heck am I telling you all this?
I’m glad you asked,
The BIGGEST excuse I hear when it comes to exercise or eating healthy, is ‘I haven’t got time’
Or ‘I can’t fit it in’
There is a fine line between ‘chilling out’ and ‘wasting your time’ or ‘killing time’
If you struggle for time or struggling with your results…
Maybe it’s time to have look at whats eating up all YOUR time?
Can you be more productive?
Maybe find a better way to unwind?
Or a even better way to de stress?
I just KNOW that I can help you (and get some pretty damn good results in the process)….
Let’s get you started….
