R & R + P
Darren Putt
Coaching Business Owners 1:1 to transform their health & lifestyle by building a lean, fit, strong body, by protecting their long-term health and optimising energy levels on a day-to-day basis.
As the old saying goes "failing to prepare is preparing to fail" which certainly holds true with health.
Whilst preparation and planning is certainly important, there is another key habit common to the majority of people who are successful at improving their long-term health - the people who have the energy of someone much younger, look younger, are lean and toned, become fitter and stronger, build a strong mindset and are able to maintain their self-discipline
It’s not their genes or their innate personality - it's the willingness to take the time to reflect on and review their progress - and to be accountable for it.
We do it all the time for our businesses: review performance of the KPIs and of people versus budgets and versus plans - monthly reviews, quarterly reviews, annual reviews, strategy sessions…but how often do you do it for your health?
Having a process like this in place is one of the most important things we do with our clients.
Too often we hear: “Oh, I don’t need to do that I just need to get on with x, y, z…”
No, you really do need to do this!
Being willing to do it shows a desire to learn, to improve, to be accountable and to give your health (and yourself) the respect it and you deserve.
After all, nothing is more important than our health.
It's also about being prepared to be honest with yourself…
Find out the truth
Accept the truth
Think about the opposite: the opposite is to avoid it.
To put it off.
Be “too busy”.
To pretend it's all OK.
To bury your head in the sand.
When has that strategy ever worked out well…for anything?

The time is now
It's always a good time to reflect and review but right now is an especially good time.
We're very, very nearly halfway through the year.

So I would highly recommend setting aside some time to reflect and review where you are at with your health.

Then commit to a new plan for the second half of 2024.
Thanks,

SMALL CHANGE: BIG IMPACT
Drink a pint of water first thing when you wake up.
Many people struggle to stay hydrated, even though we all know it can affect our health and energy significantly, plus help manage hunger.
Drinking a glass of water first thing will obviously help hydrate you from the get-go, but it also seems to help people drink more throughout the rest of the day too.
You can go fancy and add things like sea salt, lime, electrolytes or greens powders, but as a first step good old water (ideally filtered!) can make a big impact!
