Hey,
Every year people train and diet right up close the the show and STOP.
Out of nowhere they say, "I'm not doing it." WHAT??
I am always shocked and thinking - Wow, 12 weeks of chicken, rice
and vegetables for nothing... they get to 10 weeks, 8 weeks, 6 weeks or even less than 2 weeks out.
When I ask "why" and can you guess the answer?
Of course you can guess!
Their gym buddies got to them. So called friends...
The Peanut Gallery of experts in judging fitness contests... you know the ones.
They haven't been to a fitness show in 10 years.
They think you are supposed to look like Arnold. They say, "You are not RIPPED enough"
That gym guy that tells you to show him your abs and he shakes his head and says,
"Nope".
YOU CAN'T WIN that's what he says... like he did you a favor.
"You want me to be honest" they ask before shattering your dreams.
That's it - one more contestant who could have made it -
OUT!
Don't let them get to you.
Stay as far away as you can from these negative people.
Most of those people giving advice do nothing themselves.
They shut down ALL of your
goals.
They talk you OUT of everything.
And guess what - "THEY" are EVERYWHERE.
Close your ears and focus! People are always looking for extra motivation
but that comes from you sticking to the plan. STAY THE
COURSE!
Most people can physically get in shape and enter the show yet mentally
they back out. They start imagining things like doing a tiny show so they feel
like they can win it. They imagine not winning and being let down. They turn
the contest part of the event into making them crazy
with stress.
It's not only the gym guys that tell you that you can't compete and you are not
ready for a show but you can allow your own head to talk you out of it.
You may even start thinking crazy thoughts about feeling like you might lose.
Just register and
do it anyway.
Who cares what those people have so say.
And don't talk yourself out of it...
Stay
the Course,
Brian
PS,
Don't wait to talk yourself out of
something.
You will feel so much better after you register.
You won't have the stress of thinking about it.
