Full transcript

1. 0:06Hello and welcome to day three of
2. 0:09Lifebook's 30-day challenge. So good to
3. 0:11have you here with me today. Now today,
4. 0:13we're going to explore the first of 12
5. 0:16categories of your life, and that
6. 0:18category is your health and fitness.
7. 0:21Now, I'll tell you, this is a category
8. 0:23that many of us struggle with because so
9. 0:25many of us have tried and tried in this
10. 0:28category, but failed to make lasting
11. 0:31change in this area of our lives.
12. 0:33Nevertheless, this is a foundational
13. 0:35category that we've absolutely got to
14. 0:39handle if we're serious about creating
15. 0:41an extraordinary life for ourselves.
16. 0:44So, I'd like to begin by sharing a
17. 0:46couple powerful truths about this
18. 0:48category that you may or may not know.
19. 0:51And the first is this,
20. 0:53there is not a single area of your life
21. 0:56that your health and fitness doesn't
22. 0:57affect. Your health and fitness is
23. 0:59intimately connected with everything
24. 1:01else. The way you feel emotionally, the
25. 1:04way you think,
26. 1:05the way you view yourself,
27. 1:08the way others view you,
28. 1:10your productivity, your financial life,
29. 1:13everything in your life is affected by
30. 1:16your health and fitness. So, the stakes
31. 1:18are really high in this category.
32. 1:20Second,
33. 1:21a win in this category is a win
34. 1:24everywhere in your life because this
35. 1:26category affects every other area of
36. 1:28your life. It's the foundation. It's
37. 1:31your base. Getting this category in line
38. 1:34gives you a huge advantage, and it sets
39. 1:36the stage for success everywhere.
40. 1:40Third, and this is great news.
41. 1:43This category is actually simple. Now,
42. 1:46that doesn't mean it's easy, but it's
43. 1:48simple. Success in this category
44. 1:50consists primarily of two things, what
45. 1:52you put into your body and how you use
46. 1:55your body, diet and exercise. These two
47. 1:59factors are 90% of the game. So, let's
48. 2:02take a look at a clip from the classic
49. 2:04Lifebook program now. And in this clip,
50. 2:07I'm going to share with you some of my
51. 2:09foundational beliefs for the health and
52. 2:11fitness category.
53. 2:37My wife and I were traveling in Turkey
54. 2:39and we had a tour guide in Izmir. His
55. 2:41name was Ilker and he was a really sweet
56. 2:44guy. We had a great time with him and
57. 2:47we're sitting in this cafe one day
58. 2:49talking about health and fitness.
59. 2:51And he told us,
60. 2:53"We have a saying here in Turkey.
61. 2:56A man without a belly is like a house
62. 2:59without a balcony."
63. 3:01Now, that's funny, but really what it
64. 3:05is, it's a vision. It's a vision for
65. 3:07health and fitness. It's how people look
66. 3:08at health and fitness.
67. 3:11And it was a vision that Ilker had
68. 3:12manifested in his own life. He had a
69. 3:14nice little balcony going on at 28 years
70. 3:17old.
71. 3:19Part of his vision for his body, for his
72. 3:23health and fitness, was formed by the
73. 3:25culture he lived in. He had adopted that
74. 3:28vision.
75. 3:30You don't want that to happen to you,
76. 3:32especially not in America. You don't
77. 3:34want to unconsciously adopt the vision
78. 3:38of your culture in this particular area.
79. 3:41You're here to craft your own vision
80. 3:44consciously.
81. 3:46So, what is your ideal vision? How do
82. 3:49you see yourself when it comes to health
83. 3:51and fitness?
84. 3:52If you could have anything you wanted in
85. 3:54this area,
86. 3:56what would it be? What would it look
87. 3:57like?
88. 4:00My vision for my own health and fitness
89. 4:01comes down to four things.
90. 4:04The first is this.
91. 4:06Health and fitness, that's who I am.
92. 4:10That's part of who I am as a person.
93. 4:12Eating right, exercising, these things
94. 4:15are an indispensable part of my
95. 4:17lifestyle. An absolutely necessary part
96. 4:20of what I do every day.
97. 4:23These things make everything better. I
98. 4:25couldn't imagine a life without exercise
99. 4:28and proper nutrition. I wouldn't feel
100. 4:30good. I don't like to think about that.
101. 4:33I want to always take great care of
102. 4:34myself because that's just who I am.
103. 4:37Health and fitness have literally become
104. 4:39in my life a part of my identity.
105. 4:42Secondly,
106. 4:44I choose to be a strong, muscular
107. 4:47athlete for the rest of my life.
108. 4:50That's just how I see myself.
109. 4:53I want to maintain the body weight and
110. 4:55waist size that I've had since my early
111. 4:5720s.
112. 4:58I want to continue to improve my aerobic
113. 5:00capacity, my strength, and flexibility.
114. 5:03I see myself, I visualize myself as an
115. 5:07athlete.
116. 5:09Third,
117. 5:11I'm committed to learning as much as I
118. 5:13can about health, fitness, nutrition,
119. 5:16and wellness. I want to constantly
120. 5:19upgrade my education and understanding
121. 5:21in these areas so I can get consistently
122. 5:23better results in my life.
123. 5:25I see myself as always being on the
124. 5:28cutting edge of new information.
125. 5:30And I'm not just learning to learn. I
126. 5:32want to apply what I learn to make my
127. 5:34life better.
128. 5:36Part of my vision for health and fitness
129. 5:38is living for a long time.
130. 5:41I want to live to be at least 100 years
131. 5:43old.
132. 5:45I know I might get hit by a bus
133. 5:47tomorrow, but I'm not planning on that.
134. 5:50I'm planning I'm expecting I'm living my
135. 5:53life as if I was going to live to be a
136. 5:55hundred.
137. 5:58Now, I'll say it again. I've said it
138. 6:00before. I'm going to keep saying it over
139. 6:02and over because this is really critical
140. 6:06to the Lifebook process. This is my
141. 6:09vision for my own life. You need to
142. 6:11define yours.
143. 6:14Maybe you see yourself as a sexy size
144. 6:17six.
145. 6:18Maybe you see yourself as a bodybuilder
146. 6:20with 20-in biceps or a runner long and
147. 6:24thin with less than 10% body fat.
148. 6:28What's your vision for your own health
149. 6:30and your own fitness?
150. 6:32How do you see yourself in this area?
151. 6:34How high can you get yourself to raise
152. 6:36the bar? How far are you willing to go
153. 6:39right now?
154. 6:45So, those are a few of my beliefs in the
155. 6:48health and fitness category and they
156. 6:49haven't changed over all these years.
157. 6:52And now what I'd like to do is take just
158. 6:53a few minutes to help you connect with
159. 6:56your own vision for your health and
160. 6:58fitness. So, if you would, just close
161. 7:01your eyes for a minute
162. 7:03and imagine yourself with an ideal body.
163. 7:08What would it look like?
164. 7:10Imagine the ideal you.
165. 7:13Maybe you're on a beach somewhere
166. 7:15playing and splashing around with your
167. 7:17lover or with your children.
168. 7:19You're in shape. You're in really great
169. 7:22shape.
170. 7:24You feel energetic and strong.
171. 7:27How do you see yourself right now?
172. 7:30How does it feel to look and feel
173. 7:33fantastic
174. 7:35and full of vitality?
175. 7:37Just hold that mental picture for a
176. 7:40moment.
177. 7:41How does it feel to have handled this
178. 7:43area of your life and to be in really
179. 7:46amazing shape?
180. 7:48What you're seeing in your mind's eye
181. 7:49right now,
182. 7:51that is what we want you to connect with
183. 7:53as we go through these categories. That
184. 7:56is what we want you to be able to
185. 7:57articulate and to clarify your ideal
186. 8:00vision in each category.
187. 8:03So, as we go through, just give yourself
188. 8:06permission to ask for what you really
189. 8:08want.
190. 8:09We want you to begin really getting in
191. 8:11touch with what you want in every
192. 8:14important area of your life. That's the
193. 8:17foundation of the Lifebook process.
194. 8:20Okay, that's going to be it for today.
195. 8:22And hopefully, right now you have just a
196. 8:24little bit stronger picture in your
197. 8:25mind's eye of what you'd actually like
198. 8:27to achieve in your own health and
199. 8:29fitness.
200. 8:30Now, tomorrow we're going to go a little
201. 8:31bit deeper into this category and you'll
202. 8:33be doing a powerful exercise that'll
203. 8:36virtually guarantee that you're going to
204. 8:38make progress toward your vision for the
205. 8:40health and fitness category.
206. 8:42Have a fantastic day and I'll see you
207. 8:45tomorrow.
