You are never a victim of your circumstances, only your perspective.
This is a simple but really important thing I'm about to say.
I've seen this perspective ruin so many people's results, happiness, health and I'm sure it extends to other areas of life as well.
It's the perspective of "I can't train as much as I want right now due to (insert circumstance here - work, kids, injury, whatever) so therefore I won't do anything.
This is a really harmful belief that ends with people on the yo-yo life. Whether it is weight going up and down, fitness, health, mental health.
It leads to inconsistent actions, which leads to inconsistent results.
The solution?
Instead of all or nothing.
Choose all or something.
You can't always train 5 days a week and eat perfectly, but you can always do something.
Something is better than nothing and better is better.
If you can't train 4-5 times per week. Train once or twice.
If you can't eat perfectly, choose the least bad option.
If you can't train for an hour, train for 15 minutes.
Your shoulder is injured? Train lower body and visa versa.
You get the idea.
Stop with the all or nothing bullshit. It's stupid.
Have an amazing day 💙

PS: I'll let you in on a little secret something I've noticed after 14 years of doing this and working with thousands of people. The people who go gung ho and try to change everything all of sudden rarely get long term results. The people who focus on consistency and think long term are the ones who get the biggest results over the long term. Think long term, it's all the little habits and decisions that equal long term results
