It’s pretty common for a lot of people to just be swept along by the tide of life. Very little - if any - time's taken to think about what you're actually moving towards.Or what your life would look like an ideal world.Stopping to think about this stuff can be pretty overwhelming.And it doesn’t provide the same instant gratification as chilling watching Netflix does. But it's damn important. Because if you want to feel motivated & experience a different reality than your current one. Then you have to first slow down & clarify what that reality looks like.Only once you outline your ideal future can you start to move towards it!Connect with Me: ⁣⁣Website: www.clpersonaltraining.com⁣⁣Instagram | www.instagram.com/christianlawalpt⁣⁣Twitter | twitter.com/christianlawal⁣⁣Email | christian@clpersonaltraining.com

At the root of all suffering is the inability to accept life the way it is. When you place a subjective narrative around the way you think life 'should' be in order for you to be at peace, you're in fact creating parameters that lead to suffering. The only way to truly transcend it is to fully accept life as it is. In this episode I delve into how I re-frame the challenging moments in life & my approach to living in complete faith & surrender.Enjoy!Connect with Me: ⁣⁣Website: www.clpersonaltraining.com⁣⁣Instagram | www.instagram.com/christianlawalpt⁣⁣Twitter | twitter.com/christianlawal⁣⁣Email | christian@clpersonaltraining.com

Are you in a bit of a motivational slump at the minute?I know the feeling. And I know that one of the best ways to overcome that feeling is to reconnect with your 'why'. The deep, underlying motivation behind the actions you take. In this episode I outline some of the questions that I regularly ask myself whenever I find myself feeling a bit low on motivation & without direction. Connect with Me: ⁣⁣Website: www.clpersonaltraining.com⁣⁣Instagram | www.instagram.com/christianlawalpt⁣⁣Twitter | twitter.com/christianlawal⁣⁣Email | christian@clpersonaltraining.com

It's easy to feel like you just need to be more motivated or disciplined in order to get yourself doing the things you know you should be doing. But I actually think that the first step to creating positive change in your life is self-compassion.Fully accepting yourself for where you are right now. Listen up to hear why.Connect with Me: ⁣⁣Website: www.clpersonaltraining.com⁣⁣Instagram | www.instagram.com/christianlawalpt⁣⁣Twitter | twitter.com/christianlawal⁣⁣Email | christian@clpersonaltraining.com

A lot of us give a lot more of our energy to the external things in life than we do on our internal world. We think changing our external circumstances is an effective long-term strategy to changing how we feel internally. I think we've got it backwards. Instead, we should aim to create change from the inside-out. This involves looking inwards; asking yourself some important questions & reflecting on your emotional & behavioural patterns. Because once you have greater awareness of where you're slipping up, it's a whole lot easier to create the change you're seeking.Connect with Me: ⁣⁣Website: www.clpersonaltraining.com⁣⁣Instagram | www.instagram.com/christianlawalpt⁣⁣Twitter | twitter.com/christianlawal⁣⁣Email | christian@clpersonaltraining.com

A concept that I've been fascinated with over the last couple of years (& particularly over the last couple of weeks) is dis-identification with your ego (the idea of your self). Being overly wrapped up in ego or persona is, how I see it, the biggest cause of the suffering (worry, anxiety, depression) that so many of us struggle with today.If you can step into the spaciousness needed to recognise that you are not the ego/persona -  but are in fact the consciousness that observes it - everything changes. I begin this episode by reading a short extract from probably my favourite book - 'The Untethered Soul' by Michael Singer - before delving into my interpretation of the text.

It’s easy to begin each day & each week in reaction mode.⁣⁣To be immediately consumed by work, emails, social media, the news, life.⁣But to always live in reaction mode is a problem.⁣⁣It means you never allow yourself the space to assess & reflect.Which makes it near impossible to create meaningful change in your life. Take a minute to slow down today.Take a deep breath. Get clear on your intentions. And go from there. Connect with Me: ⁣⁣Website: www.clpersonaltraining.com⁣⁣Instagram | www.instagram.com/christianlawalpt⁣⁣Twitter | twitter.com/christianlawal⁣⁣Email | christian@clpersonaltraining.com

Life is transient. As humans we go through cycles, just like the world around us.MotivationEnergy Mood EmotionsAll are forever changing. Accepting the change is one of the biggest challenges we each face. Yet the most liberating I’ve found that the more I’m able to embrace the moments of low motivation, energy, & mood, the sooner I’m able to overcome them. Because resisting what is does veeeery little to improve it!So, if you find yourself in a moment where energy’s low & life feels more challenging than you’d like, embrace it. Allow yourself to feel whatever you feelAnd know that given time, it will pass. As all things do Connect with Me: ⁣⁣Website: www.clpersonaltraining.com⁣⁣Instagram | www.instagram.com/christianlawalpt⁣⁣Twitter | twitter.com/christianlawal⁣⁣Email | christian@clpersonaltraining.com

Regret is a feeling we all want to minimise. But the reality is there's no way of completely eradicating it from your life. There will always be an opportunity cost associated with making one decision over another. But I think the key is to outline the regrets that you couldn't live with.. and to act on them.When I was thinking about leaving my job in digital marketing & starting my PT course, a big part of me felt like stepping into the unknown would be a mistake. But, an even bigger part of me knew that the regret I'd feel if I didn't make that decision would far outweigh the regret of making it and it not working out!I find thinking in this way to be a really powerful way of motivating yourself to act. Try it right now - ask yourself, what would be worse:The discomfort of taking action & creating some kind of change in your life..Or the discomfort of things staying exactly as they are for the next 5, 10, or even 20+ years. When you frame it like that, the decision making process becomes a lot clearer.Connect with Me: ⁣⁣Website: www.clpersonaltraining.com⁣⁣Instagram | www.instagram.com/christianlawalpt⁣⁣Twitter | twitter.com/christianlawal⁣⁣Email | christian@clpersonaltraining.com
