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.

I don't get frustrated too often. As a rule I consider it to be a bad investment of my emotional energy. However, there is one thing that brings me close to that emotion; watching talented, intelligent, gorgeous, capable people perpetually wasting their time, their opportunities, their gifts and a good chunk of their life through procrastination. Always thinking, talking and planning but never actually doing. They seem to spend their life in a holding pattern. I wish I could magically harness their potential to an amazing attitude, a great work ethic and some fierce determination. Then we would see some big results. Of course that ain't gonna happen so what we often end up with is talented, intelligent, gorgeous, under-achievers who live a life controlled largely by fear. Fear of failure. Fear of pain. Fear of being embarrassed. Fear of commitment. Fear of rejection. All kinds of fear. Even the fear of success. Yep, it happens.
Excuses or Reasons?
We human beings are pretty good at putting things off aren't we? Let's be honest, some of us are simply spectacular at it. Including me at times over my journey. If I really want to, I can find new and creative ways to put something off for years. And you should hear some of my excuses; they sound very legitimate, reasonable and logical. By the way, that's the trick with making excuses; you need to be able to sell them to those in your world, otherwise you'll be exposed for the procrastinating talent-waster that you are. And of course we don't label them as excuses, we call them reasons. "I don't make excuses, I give logical reasons."
Sure you do Pinocchio.
Avoidance Syndrome
Some of us are procrastinating about certain things right now. Not you of course, but perhaps someone you know. Very well. If there's a way to notdo something that really needs to be done, most of us will find it. Big things. Small things. Domestic things. Medical things. Financial things. Family things. Relationship things. General health things. Destructive habit things. Fitness things. Career things. Yep, some of us have PhD's in procrastination. We are Masters at almost doing stuff and world champions at rationalising, justifying and explaining what we're not doing and why; it's a time thing, a financial thing, a resources thing, a logistics things, a gut-feel thing.
Crap.
Analysis Paralysis
More likely, it's a fear thing. A laziness thing. An apathy thing. An attitude thing. A you thing. A me thing. We are all success stories in waiting but sadly, some of us will simply wait too long. We over-analyse and under do; death by Analysis Paralysis. Some of us will never tap into, or explore our potential, and some of us will die waiting. Literally. If only the mystical, mythical, magical 'right time' actually existed. For the most part, the righttimeexcuse is a convenient fairy tale used by people who aren't ready to take charge of their life. Success or failure is never about time, it's always about us.
If not Now, When?
So what will it take for you to actually address that thing (those things), once and for all? How much longer will you need before you're ready? Ten days? Ten months? Ten years? And how many of my articles will you need to read before you're ready to turn some of this theory into reality? Perhaps you just need to think about it some more. Or perhaps not. What will it take for you to make a brave decision, take a chance, get uncomfortable, use what you've been given, explore and develop your potential, to stop waiting and to consciously, consistently, passionately and diligently create your best life? When will you step out of the shadows of others and become the person that you know you want to become? When will your 'soon' become now?
Have I pushed a button yet?
A Cosmic Sign?
What will it take for you to stop thinking and start doing? Some kind of cosmic sign? A dream? An angel at your window perhaps? A lightning bolt? What about a health scare? They're always good to get us moving. For a while. Maybe some type of serendipitous event or circumstance will do it? Perhaps a shift in your consciousness or an increase in your awareness is what you need? Or maybe you need something less spiritual and philosophical... like a kick in the ass or a smack in the head? Often works for me.
By the Way...
Everything you need to create amazing outcomes in your world, you already have. Do you have a brain? Can you make better choices? Can you do different things? Can you react differently? Can you learn new things? Can you make mistakes without dying? Can you apologise? Can you be humble? Can you take a chance? Can you confront your fears? Can you embrace new behaviours? Can you develop new skills? Can you find your own truth instead of becoming a clone of someone else? Can you tap into your untapped potential? Can you achieve more in the next year than you have in the last ten? Can you stop over-thinking and under-doing?
