"Make of yourself a priority, it is not selfish, it is necessary"
As of now, on a weekly basis I will interpret the meaning of "the quote of the Week".
In other words I will share with you what I did in order to apply the valuable piece of advice. I am as you know into fitness, my family, friends and my religion. On a daily basis I talk about these important factors of my life, I wake up I pray, go to the gym train, get back home look after my kids, return to the gym train a bit more, get back home to my wife and sons and so on...THE PERFECT LIFE!
NOW IT IS THE PERFECT LIFE BUT TWO YEARS AGO IT WASNT. I WAS NOT HAPPY, I WAS UNFULFILLED!
2 years ago I used to get up around 6am and go to the gym and WORK, (run a class or train my clients), then go home to fulfill my duties of father, then back to the gym, then home and TO BED.
I felt that I was ONLY WORKING and doing things by obligation. My problem was that I simply FORGOT ABOUT MYSELF!
What did I change?
I simply started to remove the unnecessary and replaced them by things that make me feel good.
The massive change is that I am up at 4, 4.30am, I go to the gym sit down to listen to the Coran or some motivational speeches. I spend time with myself.
THE MOST IMPORTANT, IS THAT MY FIRST 20 minutes of reception of information from the outside ARE POSITIVE.
IN OTHER WORDS, I START THE DAY LISTENING TO POSITIVE THINGS "NOT" DEPRESSING TV News.
After spending time with myself, I do what I LIKE MOST, I TRAIN!
Starting that way mkes the rest of day SO MUCH BETTER. The rest of the day does not vary much, it is JUST that I am POSITIVE AND CAN GIVE THE BEST TO MY WIFE AND KIDS.
The other big change comes at night, I spend less time on YouTube watching worthless contents and more time reading or watching fitness and BJJ instructional.
I also added a stretching routine before bed time.
I made few changes in my life, I removed the unnecessary and added more structure to my routines and I feel Myself again. I am feeling GREAT.
SOMETIMES, MORE DISCIPLINE, A DEEP REFLEXION ON WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE WANT TO BE CAN CHANGE THE GAME.
REMEMBER:
"Make of yourself a priority, it is not selfish, it is necessary"
