Chances are you're finding yourself stopping and starting quiet often right?
It's like you can't seem to stay committed or consistent for long enough to finally see your body change.
And if you're like most of the dads I work with, before they started with me they would stop-and-start programs and diets constantly.
I know how it goes...
You get motivated so you start something new - could be a new diet or a workout program and things start off strong.
While the motivation is there, you're excited about doing something 'new' so it's no problem putting in the work until...
The motivation runs dry. 😔
Then you find yourself struggling to stay with it.
Something always seems to come up that knocks you off track...
❌ You get busy at work and miss a couple of workouts
❌ Things get crazy at home so you start messing up on your "clean" diet
❌ Your workout buddy starts to ditch you so you decide just to give it up as well
❌ You're getting sick and tired of NOT seeing the results so you finally just QUIT
Sure, you're able to push through it for a bit, but sooner or later, you GIVE UP because the motivation you once had is no longer there.
Then you're back at square one yet again with NO results to show for it.
If you could only "just stay motivated"...
Well, I'm here to tell you something you might think is a little bit crazy...
Motivation Is A Bunch Of BULLSH*T.
You'll not get yourself very far if you continue to bank on motivation.
Why?
❌ MOTIVATION DOES NOT LAST (It's An EMOTION)
Seriously… if you keep relying on motivation, you’re going to let another year go by and you’re going to find yourself in the same pit.
And the more time you let go by, the more tired and stressed out you’re going become so the pit you’re in now is only going to get deeper.
As I've mentioned many of times before, if you want to DESTROY THE DAD BOD and get back your edge in life, you'll need to be COMMITTED.
This is a commitment is an agreement you must make with YOURSELF.
Let's be honest...
If you can't commit to yourself, then who can you commit to?
So I need you to OWN UP to this now.
I need you to be a f*cking 10 out of 10 COMMITTED.
No 9’s or 8’s allowed.
When you're only a 9 or 8, you'll QUIT.
You gotta be ALL IN and committed to change.
Once you’ve made that personal commitment, there’s an important step to this process that I have used with my fellow dads to allow them to keep their progress rolling ahead strong.
The step??
⚠ The Identity Switch
Let me ask you, WHY do you brush your teeth?
You know the consequence of NOT doing it right?
Heck, even when you're exhausted you still do it.
Therefore this is a STANDARD you have in life...
IT IS A MUST or you’ll get cavities and your teeth with rot.
Which leads me to this -
There are certain habits you know you have right now that are having a bit of a negative effect on your life that are also preventing you from destroying the dad bod and getting back your edge in life.
Most of them are the very reason you feel tired, run-down, and unfit.
But...
You still do them 🤷🏻♂️
So it's pretty simple - There are certain CODES you need to add into your life that you just don't yet have.
Not because you don't want them, but because of this:
You see yourself as a BUSY, TIRED, GUY with a DAD BOD…
So you operate like one:
Tired, No Time, Too Busy, Always Exhausted and all the other BS…
Tis is where the identity switch MUST come into play.
Take an athlete for example.
Remember back when you were an ATHLETE and you had that edge in life??
You trained hard , fueled your body well and performed at an extremely high level under an enormous amount of stress and pressure.
Of course, life was a bit different back then because you probably weren't yet a DAD, but I hope you get my point.
As an ATHLETE, you were committed to getting specific RESULTS and achieving success.
Why?
Because you had certain standards, beliefs and rituals you followed.
Even when you were tired...
Even when you weren’t motivated...
Back when you were a devoted ATHLETE - everything was a MUST 🔥🔥
This is STEP ONE - You must shift back your IDENTITY to being an ATHLETE again otherwise you'll continue to adopt the tired, run-down, identity of a guy with a DAD BOD.
But this is hard no doubt.
So, what you’ll discover about STEP #3 will be the linchpin in helping you make the change in identity possible.
But, before I dig into that, let’s dive into STEP #2…
Which will cover how we'll be REBUILDING your body back into a "DATHLETE"...
