Are you guilty of shiny object syndrome?
For the longest time, I know I was.
I never had it from a fitness or nutrition standpoint- mine was more on the business side of things.
I would jump from one program, project, or marketing idea to another, and nothing would get done, and therefore no progress would be made. I kept chasing the one thing that would give me the quick fix or fast results.
It took me way too long to figure out that this doesn’t work.
The boring truth is that what works are the boring principles and fundamentals. You can apply this to anything you’re doing. Whether it’s strength training, business, sales, marketing, fat loss- whatever. If you focus on the fundamentals and stay consistent with them over time, THIS is how you’ll actually see results.
We get stuck in shiny object syndrome when we’re too focused on the end result, rather than on embracing the process. We have to understand that the process is where we learn all of the skills required not just to get the results we’re looking for, but to keep them.
There are some shortcuts that work out there, but none of them last. This is why 99% of people on a restrictive meal plan, or a far too aggressive training program end up right back where they started- or worse- just months later.
Stick to the basics, stop chasing shiny objects, embrace the process and the results will come
Have a great one today!
