Many
nutritional experts confuse people with their jargon
and pseudo-science. Let Craig's Director of
Nutrition cut through the dietary confusion and
contradiction for you.
Fattitude
- Craig Harper
While many books focus on food,
Craig teaches that creating life-long change is more about the
dieter, than the actual diet. This book is perfect for people who have a
history of 'almost' getting in shape.
DVD
or CD - Renovate Your Body In this entertaining presentation, Craig discusses the
notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious
ability to be able to get in shape for events (weddings, parties, reunions
and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.

Did my TV gig on Network Ten yesterday (I'm writing this Thursday night) and spoke about all that life-changing-Craig-Harper-type-stuff that I do. The segment went well, I pushed a few buttons and have received more than fifty emails over the last twenty four hours from people who saw the segment and appreciated a little positivity, hope and encouragement coming from their TV screen. How nice is that? And let me tell you, some of those emails are looooooong. At least ten of them were the best part of a thousand words!

The amazing thing about creating our best life (and/or impacting positively on the lives of others) is that it's so easy to be positive and encouraging when we have that intention, that commitment and that mindset. Just like it's easy to be a complete pain in the ass if we're really committed to it. And sadly, many people are. I don't need to fake it, or manufacture my enthusiasm and energy because I am genuinely excited about life, possibilities, exploring my potential and helping others to do the same. It's an incredibly rewarding job that I have and it's so much fun to be able to invest into the lives of others. Like you!
For me, the return is far greater than the investment. It's pretty easy to find the good rather than focus on the bad when we want to and it makes sense to talk about possibilities and solutions, rather than agonise over problems. In a world where the vast majority of the news is negative (just tune in to the six o'clock news), people are attracted to optimism and positivity like moths to a flame. Optimism and positivity... not to be confused with naivety and stupidity.
Being an Encourager - a Personal Cheer Squad
Today I want to chat very briefly about the notion of being an encourager. Specifically, YOU being an encourager. As a friend, boss, sibling, parent, co-worker, athlete, coach... human being, it's one of the most important, empowering and rewarding things that you and I can do for others. So why wouldn't we? It's simple and it's easy but it isn't done nearly enough because (sometimes) we're too self-focused and too immersed in our own stuff. Or simply unaware. The irony is that when we actually give the encouragement (interest, care, attention, support, approval) rather than seek it, we often get our own needs met in a much more powerful way and on a much deeper level. If you want to create amazing relationships and connections then be the type of person who consistently encourages others and you'll see some pretty cool stuff happen in your own life as well as theirs.
Encouragement changes people (on both sides of the equation). It changes relationships, emotional states, work environments, it changes the dynamics of a situation and at the risk of sounding cheesey, it can change lives. It's true. I've seen amazing transformations take place when the only thing that was added to the picture was encouragement. Out of that encouragement came different choices and behaviours, a different mindset, improved confidence and ultimately, incredible results. Awesome.
A Suggestion
Why don't you join me and commit to encouraging at least one different person every day for the next week? This means doing something that you wouldn't have done had you not made this commitment or read this post. It means investing emotional energy into someone else for five or ten minutes and making that time all about them, not you. No strings, no agenda, no catch. Try it and let me know what happens.
Our Competition Winner!!
Well after much deliberation, a little debate and a couple of bitch fights between Baldy and Bossy, the 'judges' have finally come up with a winner for our competition. Why anyone would want to spend five days in a row with me is a mystery but clearly some of you have issues.
Drum roll please...
And the winner is JO THOMAS! Go Jo!! A big congratulations to you!
Jo will be spending a week with me very soon and will be travelling all the way from South Australia to do so! That's commitment. Stay tuned for photos, daily updates of her progress and a final report from the lady herself.
I know some of you will be disappointed. Sorry. However.... because we received so many great entries and had so many people miss out (and because I'm a sucker), I have decided to run a group mentoring session (for free) for those of you who didn't win. I know this will be of little value to those of you who live far away (sorry again) but it may be some consolation to those of you in the Melbourne area. The session will be run on Saturday the 30th of August at my Brighton centre, from 11.00 am - 1.00 pm. It will be an informal, laid back session. A lesson or two from me, some questions from you and some general chat. Possibly a hug. To book your place you need to call Johnny on (03) 9553 8857 or email him by clicking on this link.
