Focus On What You Can Control

Sometimes it can feel like you’re doing everything right and still not achieving the goals you want.
 
It can be frustrating to not see those results coming and that frustrating can lead to you wanting to give up.
 
Sometimes it’s because your focus is in the wrong place – making it all about the scales.
 
To a certain degree, they can be out of your control.
 
What I like to do with clients is get them to focus on the behaviours they can control:
 
- Eating – portion control, veg, lean meats, water, occasional snacks and treats.
- Exercise – working out X times a week, being active outside of the sessions.
- Mindset – practice flexibility, taking action, obstacle planning
- Lifestyle – sleep, stress management
- Consistency – doing the right things most of the times with some wiggle room to relax.
 
Once you start to shift your focus onto the areas you can control and work on them, things like the scale weight and measurements usually take care of themselves.

Hi Jon! Thanks for the great blog post. It’s a really good reminder to take a step back and reposition your mindset. I think we don’t talk about enough how frustrating fitness journeys can be. When we fall off the wagon or we don’t see results we expect, especially in terms of weight, we become discouraged. It’s good that you can redirect that thought process to something we ARE able to control; which is everything but weight! There’s so much more to fitness than the scale, and it really is a whole-body transformation. Your mindset is just as important as the food you eat, or the exercises you do.
