<p>You can't go from backwards to perfection [But still we try]</p> <p><br></p> <p>We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>One of the biggest mistakes we often make when trying to make some changes to our weight, health and fitness is……………….</p> <p>To try to go from “going backwards”………….</p> <p>Straight to ‘perfection’.</p> <p>Forwards and 100 miles per hour.</p> <p>From eating and living in a way that’s caused us to gain weight, lose energy, etc…………</p> <p>To trying to “eat like a nutritionist” and “train like an athlete”.</p> <p>And, when we don’t feel we can maintain that, to return to the ‘backwards’ approach.</p> <p>We get it.</p> <p>Faster progress is more exciting.</p> <p>Easier to remain enthused about.</p> <p>Creates motivation.</p> <p>When we “see it working”.</p> <p>And we’re all for fast progress.</p> <p>But………..</p> <p>What usually makes the fastest progress………..</p> <p>Is the knowingly sub-optimal approach………….</p> <p>That we, on average, maintain.</p> <p>Fast enough to feel is worthwhile.</p> <p>Not so much we feel any sort of need to “stop”.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Much love,</p> <p>Jon ‘In the name of love’ Hall</p> <p>P.S.
