I must admit, I’ve been feeling a little exhausted over the past few days. The reality isn’t always way it seems like on social media. I always want to say it how it is as many don’t see what goes on behind the posts. I’ve had extensive travels already this year and have set some very big goals. That means more productivity is required and this ultimately will make me and my teams more efficient. I missed the gym yesterday and this made me feel worse. This morning I was planning to start late but then remembered what @krisgethin told me about making the most of where I am and feeding my focus. Although tired, I decided to get outside for cardio and so pleased I did. I have realised that there is one crucial drug that I need in my life to function which comes from exercise, its called Endorphins. Try it, but be warned it’s addictive. My day has been powerful so far.

Everyone thinks they have the best dog and none of the are wrong - Fact. I’m getting updates many times a day on this one, he has become quite a character. The average dog is nicer than the average human - also a fact. #inspire #class #lifestyle #vinnietheakita (at Times Square, New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/BukX2hqhwiH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mx4gy92y9327

There is a time and place for socialising. The gym isn’t one of them. I don’t usually have a training partner. Why? Because it becomes a distraction for me. The only time I have a training partner is when I feel they add more value to to my focus. Sound selfish? Maybe. The time in the gym is my therapy. It’s a time where I can actually disconnect and reboot. I like to be in my zone, no communication with anyone, no waiting around, just focus. A combination of calm, rage and mixed emotions filter through my mind as I try and reach the finish line on each workout. Time to hit legs followed by meetings, a quick walk around the #arnoldclassic expo and then ready to ✈️ again tomorrow ➡️ #newyorkcity #inspire #class #lifestyle #columbus #newyork pc: @krisgethin (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BugkISnBTpB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nhf0aolnjukc

There is a huge difference between saying and doing. I hear a lot of people talk about their plans but only a few take action. The problem isn’t the size of the goal, the problem is taking the first step. Breaking down the goal and making measurable milestone markers definitely help. With each milestone you are another step closer to your goal. Confidence is also a huge hurdle for many. The first step is always the hardest. With each milestone achieved, the level of confidence increases and the dream begins to look and feel like a reality and eventually it becomes one. Why am I writing this post? Two reasons: 1. I see a lot of people who have spoken to me about their goals for many years. However, I have not seen any progress ever. In fact when asked ‘why haven’t you started?’ I hear all kinds of lame excuses. 2. I get quite a few genuine messages from people who have great goals but have a lack of confidence and just don’t know where to start. Finally, the fear of failure is always going to scare you. But the reality is that it’s not real. It’s just fear, a limitation you create in your mind. It only becomes a reality if you allow it to. Failure is only final when you give up. In the interim things you experience are lessons which make you better. What ever goals you have, make a plan and take the first step. Sometimes overthinking will kill your goals. In other news: I’ve had an amazingly productive time in LA. Business meetings, catching up with friends and working on some of my personal development goals. I am always thankful for the people around me.

Know the value of knowing your value. It took me years to understand. Now I won’t accept anything less. It’s not arrogance, it’s confidence. #inspire #class #lifestyle (at Heathrow Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuVvDU1hncm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1huq5rkq3rug0

So it’s Monday.⁣ ⁣ You’re one of two types or people.⁣ ⁣ 1. Suffering from a heavy weekend, not looking forward to work today. Trying to think of an excuse for why you will be late into work and putting off important tasks for Tuesday. You spend the first part of your day telling all your work colleagues how great your weekend was whilst trying to find a fix for the way you feel. Today is a kind of write off.⁣ ⁣ 2. Up early, Feeling charged, thankful for another day, ready to take on any obstacle. Hit the gym real early. You’ve used Sunday evening to project your day today and will kill any excuses which hold you from your goals this week. You plan to stay away from the people who love for weekends and attract only positive vibes because that’s what you give.⁣ ⁣ Which type of person would you want around you?⁣ ⁣ Have a powerful day ahead.⁣ ⁣ #inspire #class #lifestyle (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuS1HtUhERW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i7dr1d4glskh

He wasn’t himself today. He has been a little unwell. It’s quite upsetting to see. I know he hates going to the vet, he can sense an injection coming. I felt so bad but its got to be done. Hopefully he’ll be back to normal tomorrow. They can’t talk and they don’t need to, sometimes the connection is good enough. It’s just a dog some say to me..... if only he was.

Leading by example @vaishalibhoirs my @physiqueglobal teammate who is doing amazing things in the fitness world. India has come along way when it comes to women in fitness, however there is still much more to be done. More women need to be encouraged to step up and live a fitter and healthier lifestyle. I am interested in knowing thoughts from those who understand the culture in India.

I don’t pretend to be perfect. I am far from perfect. My goal is to make improvements every single day. I want to become a better human with every experience. I am not perfect. I am original. I don’t shy away from challenges. I welcome obstacles as these are the growth mechanisms. Limitations only exist if you allow them to.

I didn’t get a good quality sleep last night, I found it extremely hard to get eye shut. A 2 am finish and waking up before the alarm which was set for 6.30am. I woke up thinking of excuses and tried justify to myself that it would be ok to miss out on my workout. I then had to remind myself of my goals. I had to remind myself that these are the very moments which make me or break me. These are the tests of my determination of how much my goals actually mean to me. I have to walk the talk. To lead I must be the example. To lead I must show my team how to do instead of telling them what to do. I am thankful to the positive people who are around me that help me stay on track when I am in need. I had a full day of back to back meetings ahead of our sold out debut event in Sri Lanka tomorrow. I just want to take this moment to thank you all the the positive vibes. I am very grateful. In other news, I want to congratulate @abhinavmahajanlife for reaching his 1m milestone on YouTube. I know this is just the start.

Waking up and getting ready to head to the airport at hours in which people are usually in a deep sleep is normal for me. Having little or no sleep is part of the sacrifice for turning vision into reality. I had a hour extra before I needed to be at the airport today. I decided to be as present as possible on route. Usually I have calls & emails to deal with, but today I decided to put things on hold for a few hours whilst I appreciate my surroundings. Such a simple action with such a rewarding feeling. I stopped over at #haveliamritsar and had a traditional breakfast (I’ll pay for that in the gym tomorrow). I felt like a tourist. My Sunday is powerful. Now landed in #Mumbai and ready for meetings. Can anyone name the vehicle in the picture behind me? #inspire #class #lifestyle #amritsar #mumbai #teampixel (at Haveli - Amritsar) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtayVGoh5vI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=105zs4jqkxux8
