The Power of Change by Coach Cameron

Coach Cameron Roberts here and welcome to the Leaping Through Life Corporate Coaching and Small Business Master Coaching Programs.

You know, you’ve probably heard it before that the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again but expecting a different result. You know, the same is true for many of us when it comes to our own health, vitality and well-being.

Often, we want to change something about ourselves, our body image, our physical appearance, or just our energy levels on a daily basis, but we keep doing the same things over and over again and expecting something else to change. You know, if you want to change the way you feel when you first get up in the morning, you have to change something in your lifestyle. It’s just not enough to wish upon a star about your health and fitness. You actually have to make a conscious decision and take the appropriate action and do something about it if you want to wake up in the mornings feeling alive and alert.

I started working with someone recently and they shared this story about how they were doing the same thing over and over again, time and time again in relation to their diet. And so, what would happen was they’d go on some diet program that’s sold on TV or over-the-counter and they’d go on the program and they would lose massive amounts of weight. Obviously, with all these types of diet programs, you can’t do them long-term. It’s very, very hard and difficult to maintain. Every time they stop the diet program, they would put on weight and then some more to what they first started. And so, they’ve had that yo-yo effect of going on the diet, taking the shakes and the bars, losing the weight massively fast, but then being so hungry after four or six weeks or eight weeks or three months that within weeks, they would put all the weight back on again after they stop the shakes and the bars and the special diet program.

Now, they repeated this for the last eight to ten years of their life. And what do you think it did to their body? Well, obviously their body is not in a shape that they would like it right now. And that got me thinking, I wonder how many of us do the same thing on a daily basis, not only with our health and our fitness, but also with our business or our families and our relationships? How many of us keep doing the same approach or keep applying the same approach over and over again and yet we expect a different result?

You know, if there’s something to change in your life, you must change. You must change the way that you approach it. You must change the type of action that you take. If you’ve tried something before in the past and it hasn’t worked for you long-term, there’s a good chance that same action is not going to work next time either, long-term.

So to finish up, I’ll give you this one little tip. If you need something to change, avoid doing the same thing that you’ve done in the past. Seek a coach for instance, get some guidance, find an expert in the area that you want to accelerate in and let them show you how to get proven, long-term results without doing the same things and the same mistakes that you’ve always made.
