The Inner Ring: Limits & Power

By Robbie Alexander
At the beginning of this year, do you remember that you made some promises to yourself? Did you even set promises or resolutions? Did at least one of your resolutions have to do with diet improvements, muscle gain, fat loss or fitness performance? It is estimated that, every year, about 80% of our society forgets about their New Year’s resolutions by March 1st. Trust me, I understand. However, I also set and achieve multiple resolutions every year. 

Enough time has passed in 2020 for you to have at least put in the work necessary to create some healthy habits that should now be difficult to get rid of. Doing the work or at least understanding the feelings associated with getting fitness results requires two things which will be revealed here. It is my intention to keep you on track with your 2020 resolutions and in this article, I’m going to break down the beginning of a success process to prepare you for your “success mission” that you may have been talking about. It’s time to put some actions behind the talk. 

Identify

When trying to experience more success in life, always begin with identifying and eliminating catalysts that weaken and/or limit you. What people, environments, objects or routines are attracting the same weak cycles you have always experienced? 

Implement

At the same time, you need to begin introducing positive, powerful and productive catalysts into your life. These may include new mentors, foods, routines, friends, environments, etc. Simple questions that may be difficult to think about and answer, but may be critical to ask yourself include:

1.) How can you be a greater individual with the people in your life?

2.) What needs to change in your environment(s)?

3.) How can you change your current environment(s) or choose new ones which welcome who you want to become? 

4.) What things need to be thrown into the trash, literally or figuratively, to allow the old and weaker version of you to die. 

A powerful life results from deciding to take on difficult challenges and journeys. A little sacrifice, a lot of sweat and some tears are expected and often avoided along the necessary bridge toward the better you. There’s no way around it. The better you is sometimes a very unattractive role to adapt to, simply because of the cost of meeting him or her. It takes courage and may require investments in time and money. This is why the last question is a very difficult one to ponder. 

5.) What new and dramatically different routines do you need to begin implementing to experience the life of the greater you?  

You know, these questions have to be answered first in order for the vision of the new and greater you to begin to emerge into reality. Right? 

Keep the vision. Stay the course. Do the work. Conquer!

Remember, real health begins with inner wealth.
