EAT

Myth #1:
With just a few small, easy, hopefully imperceptible changes to one’s diet and exercise routine, you too can have shredded abs, big biceps, and tight glutes, just like a magazine cover model.
Myth #2:
“Getting healthy” or “losing weight” involves massive, painful, intolerable sacrifice, restriction, and deprivation.
Of course, neither of these are true.

Reality #1:
The process that helps you lose “the first 10 pounds” isn’t the same one that’ll help you lose “the last 10 pounds”. Indeed, it usually takes a lot more work as you get leaner.
Reality #2:
If you do aspire to “fitness model” or “elite athlete” lean, you might be surprised. Images are photoshopped for effect. Bodybuilders only look like that for competition. And achieving that look comes at a high cost; one most people aren’t willing to pay.
Reality #3:
However, if you’re okay not being on the next magazine cover and aspire to be “lean and healthy” even small adjustments can — over time — add up to noticeable improvements. Sometimes these improvements can change, perhaps even save, lives.

“Excellence” is a term thrown around when hard work translates into achievement. But that’s not actually how it works. Excellence is not a metric of achievement, it’s a metric of commitment. Just because you’re successful doesn’t mean you’re committed, and it doesn’t automatically equal excellence.

That’s because excellence isn’t about how hard you’re working- it’s about how hard you are working relative to the best in the world. Are you doing everything in your power to get half a percent better, no matter how difficult it is or how long it takes? If your level of commitment makes people uncomfortable, you’re on the right track.

You’ll know you’re close when they start calling you obsessed.

CONNECT

Friendly competition is a great way to connect with people!

One of the best ways to connect with other CFD family is sweaty, out of breath people rolling around on the gym floor discussing “How far did you get in the workout?”

“I always wished we had played more. I know he made me a better player and I hope I made him better at some stage.”
-John McEnroe about Björn Borg

THINK

“The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.”
-Epictetus

“Motivational speaker Jim Rohn famously said, “We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.” The way we think, the way we feel about ourselves, and the choices we make are directly related to the people we spend the most time with. Your most important tool to sharpening your life is surrounding yourself with good people.

Choose your future by choosing who you spend your time with.”
-Sarah Gardner (Daily JAM)
