Music + Movement: Intuitive Fitness

Nov 7

What I’ve found again and again and again and again (to the point of perpetual redundancy)?

People make tasks WAY harder than necessary.

When you blow something out of proportion in your head, I doubt you’ll be able to take it on with as much confidence as someone who can see the big picture and take on the tinier tasks required to achieve success.

Here’s what I mean: say you want to lose ten pounds. It’s not going to come off after one workout.

But focusing on the enmority of the task in front of you might intimidate you enough to not even bother.

All you need to do is one half hour workout. Put on music. (Or not.) MOVE.

Shoot for thirty minutes. Is that too intimidating? Okay. Move for twenty minutes.

Is THAT too intimidating? I assure you someone is out there waiting to sell you a product and coddle you.

I’m not.

I have plenty of courses and classes, but in honing my niche market and thinking of Tony Robbin’s suggestion to fire your (difficult) clients when needed… my students are not quitters, and while everybody complains occassionaly or suffers a case of the mopes… I have no interest in dealing with the perpetually unmotivated.

There is guranteed a teacher out there for you willing to listen to you gripe and mope and complain about the inevitable: you gotta do the work. There’s no way around it.

I teach people how to make work FUN, enjoyable, and relatatively effortless—even though it is still WORK, action, some decision set into motion.

Most of the perpetual gripers in my life are still saddled with their same self-induced problems. I choose to not make space for their complaining.

Working your ass off and still seeing no results? Let’s talk about strategy. What’s really going on? I’ll hear you out.

Complaining about your weight and wanting to lose weight for two to three years while simultaneously working out for zero minutes in those thousand days?

You’re fooling yourself or being flat out lazy, and either way, this is not my ideal client.

Like my own coaches and personal trainers: I don’t fuck around that often. (In many ways, no way, I fuck around all the time being goofy, doofy, and playful. But when it comes to work? I work. Or I face the wrath.)

We all need people to hold us accountable from time to time, but ultimately what I believe most of us are seeking is a sense of peace, control, and accountability from the inside out.
