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.

Before I get under way with today's installment, it seems that our 'Suck it up Princess' shirts have been something of a minor hit before they've even gone on sale. Yesterday I was wearing one and a lady on the street asked me where I got it from and how she could get one. She had no idea who Craig Harper is or anything about his (er, my) website or gym, so I told her how she could order a shirt on-line. She thought the 'Suck it Up' message was one that her daughters need to read. To order your own shirt click here. Keep in mind that these all-cotton shirts are biggish in size. I normally wear an 'XL' but the 'L' I'm wearing is pretty big on me. Thanks to my boy Aaron for being our model. Is it my imagination, or does his right forearm look twice as big as his left in that photo? I just noticed that. Hmm. Freak. Anyway, on with the show....
G'day Team...
As always, I trust that you're doing what you need to do to produce the results you want to see in your world and I also hope that you're having some fun at the same time. If you're not having at least a little fun, you need another plan! I'll assume you're not hoping, waiting or over-thinking but rather doing, creating, challenging, learning, adapting and pushing. And when appropriate, relaxing, switching off and being grateful for what you have and where you are. Gratitude is a misunderstood and under-valued component of the personal growth journey. I also trust that you're focusing on, and investing energy into, the things you can control in your world and letting go of the things you can't; like the events of your past.
Trapped in the Nineties
I spoke with a bloke recently who is sadly trapped in the nineties - and I'm not talking about his hair, clothes or taste in music. His wife left him eleven years ago and as I spoke with him it became very apparent that he is still totally committed to hanging on to every bit of anger, resentment, bitterness, self-pity and pain for the long term. Wow! That's a commitment you simply don't wanna make. He is making his own life a misery by (1) not letting go of that which makes him unhappy (2) inhabiting the past and investing his emotional energy into something that doesn't exist any more (except in his mind) and (3) being all about the (perceived) problem not any possible solution. Everyone has moved on except him - and that makes him even grumpier. Keep in mind that things only have the meaning and the power we give them. Think about that sentence for a minute.
Make History History
Yep, you and I determine how much influence, impact and power things will have over us and ultimately we determine what those things will mean in our world. Some people will make their lives a misery by handing over way too much power and control, and giving way too much meaning or significance to certain situations, circumstances, events or even people. The only place where the past exists is in our head, so it's important that we stop finding new and exciting ways to live there, while simultaneously missing out on the now. Many of us are emotionally and mentally trapped in our history and as a result, we don't learn, we don't evolve, we don't mature, we don't forgive and we don't find joy, peace, happiness, fulfilment or connection in the present.
An Exercise
Your exercise for today (should you so choose to be a participator and not just a reader) is to find a quiet place - no distractions at all - and spend five to fifteen minutes honestly, humbly and privately considering (1) whether or not the above message is relevant to you and how (2) what you might need to change in your world (3) what you need to let go of right now and (4) how you're going to create lasting change in this area of your life.
As always, let me know your thoughts, say hi, send a little cyber-love or share a (brief) story.If you're not sure how to leave a comment, clickhere.
We don’t know why, but people go crazy for these shirts. Perhaps it’s because they allow us to tell people what we really think without wasting our breath! Order your shirt here.
