Mindset

You need to adjust this to move forward

There are two types of people;

The ‘I can’t do it because’, people.

Fixed

and

The ‘It’s going to be difficult’ people.

Growth

The first type of people never change and always have someone or something else to blame. This is why they are unfit, unhealthy, stuck in a job they hate and live paycheck to paycheck.

The kind of person who sits in a cave looking out at a hill in the distance wondering what might be on the other side. But never go. They sit and dream in their what-ifs. It’s too far, it might get dark before I return. I might have to cross a river or negotiate a wood.

Often they see the second type of person making their way towards the hill as the crow flies. Maybe they will never see them again.

For good or for bad the second type wants to see what’s beyond that hill.

So, if you're aged 45+ and you want to get healthy, fit, and have a body to be envied by people half your age but you’re of the first mindset, you need to make a change, or you’ll do what you always do, blame someone or something else.

You have a FIXED mindset. And I can’t help you.

[Read Mindset by Dr. Carol Dweck]

If you are or want to be the second type then read on.

You have a GROWTH mindset.

So, to begin with, before we talk about diet and exercise (to come in later posts) we need to change our mindset about what we’re about to do. Then we will build a habit, and the easiest way to do this is to give you some easy wins.

I’m a Professional Photographer who dabbles in Writing and Documentary Film Making.

I’ve recently quit my job of three and a half years as a Bartender/Manager. Photography began as a hobby and quickly became a passion.

I’m a Professional Photographer, Filmmaker, Writer/Author and this website is where I’m going to document all of it. The good, the bad and the ugly.
