“I know what to do I’m just not doing it”
If I had a dollar for every time I heard this I could send each of you a new stimulus check.
Here’s my issue with the statement…
If you truly knew what to do then you would already be doing it.
The reason you’re not doing it is because you don’t know what to do.
Here’s what I mean…
Fat loss and fitness can be broken down into 4 categories:
Nutrition
Exercise/movement
Habits
Mindset
When you say you “Know what to do” but you’re not doing it…
It’s because you don’t know what to do when it comes to one or more of these categories.
For instance, let’s say you do know how to eat and exercise but you’re not doing it.
Then something is off with your habits and/or mindset.
If you don’t know how to dissect it and figure out the issue then you don’t know what to do.
Or, another very common thing I see is that people believe that nutrition has to be incredibly restrictive and exercise has to be grueling.
When you think this, it’s very hard to get started because you believe it’s going to be torture.
This also comes back to not knowing what to do.
That’s because exercise does not have to be torturous and nutrition does not have to be miserable and overly restrictive .
The point is this…
If you knew how to work on your mindset and your habits…
And you truly knew nutrition and exercise…
Then you would realize that losing weight and getting fit is definitely challenging…
But it’s not the big, bad bogeyman you made it out to be in your head.
And if you find yourself saying things like “I know what to do i’m just not doing it“…
Then open your mind to the fact that you may not be 100% clear on what you should be doing.
And that maybe…just maybe…seeking a bit of help may be just the thing you need to accomplish those goals.
And that once your nutrition, exercise, habits, and mindset are all on track…
You can then start saying…
“I know what to do AND I’m doing it“
